So March 1, 99. Herald/Times Page 3B. ‘Kids on the Block’ visit East School BY ALAN HODGE Staff Writer Puppets came to life at East Elementary School recently. Skillfully manipulated by mem- bers of the "Kids on the Block" performers, the puppets were part of a show that teaches chil- dren that just because someone may be a bit different, we're all still the same inside. Part of the Shelby Junior Charity League, "Kids on the Block" is comprised of two nine member teams who visit every elementary school in Cleveland County with their message of tolerance and understanding. "We want to teach the chil- dren that a person with disabili- ties or who lives in a divorced home is just like everyone else," said puppeteer Carol Rose. Dressed in black outfits, the puppeteers use an interesting technique in their show. "The type of puppetry we do is from Japan and is called Bunruku," said Rose. The puppets Rose and her fel- low troupers use are about three feet tall. Representing children with various difficul- ties and disabilities, one puppet is even seated in a wheelchair. A labor of love, the "Kids on the Block" team has been in ac- tion across Cleveland County for nearly 14 years now. KM Woman’s Club presents art awards The Kings Mountain Woman's Club recently an- nounced more winners in its art competition.

Which, in turn, significantly reduces the risk of side effects such as impotence and incontinence.
