They are 5 to 12 inches long, one to 2 inches tall and weigh around 14 to 39 ounces. Their most distinctive features are their spines. Their backs are covered with these 1-inch long spines. These spines are used for protection. When hedgehogs are scared or sleeping, they will curl into tight balls so only their spines are visible. An average adult has between 5,000 and 7,000 spines.

Sea Shanties Sea shantys are a type of work song associated with pirates Vectors©viaVecteezy.com and sailors. The tradition is an old one, and no one is sure where or how it all started. However, the tradition has been traced as far back as the 1400s. Sailors sang songs while performing difficult manual labor as a group. By singing the same song, they could all move at the same time in rhythm to the tune. This made difficult jobs like hoisting the sails easier. Six men pulling on a rope at the same time are a lot stronger than just one man. It also made the difficult and often boring work more fun. This was important when men were spending months at sea doing the same difficult and repetitive tasks on a ship. • Most shantys were call and response. • One sailor would lead the song; he was called the shantyman. • This was a difficult job because the shantyman sang solo. He had to know the right songs for the work, keep the rhythm and be loud enough to be heard across the ship. • The shantyman would sing a line of the song by himself and then the rest of the men would sing the same response back to him. • Different songs have different rhythms and were used for different kinds of work. • Short drag shanties were for tasks with quick pulls over short time. • Long drag shanties were for tasks that needed time between pulls.These tasks usually went on for a long time. • Capstan shanties were for long repetitive tasks like raising or lowering an anchor. • Pumping shanties were for when the ship leaked but were interchangeable with capstan shanties. • Forecastle shanties were for relaxing and entertainment. These songs did not have a work purpose. • Stamp’n’Go shanties were for ships with large crews. • Whaling shanties helped the men on whaling vessels do some of the most difficult and dangerous work on the ocean. • Sea shantys became less popular as steam-powered ships became more popular. • Men did less manual labor, so they didn’t need songs to make the work easier. www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/Sea-Shanties/ nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/sea-shanties www.thepirateking.com/music/shanty_types.htm8 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland MAY 2018

This page proudly sponsored by Fayetteville Academy Mo Canady Meet Mo Canady! He’s a retired policeman and the executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers. PLEASE TELL OUR READERS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF. I am a retired police officer. The last half of my career, I was in school-based policing. The National Association of School Resource Officers has been around since 1991. I came in 2011. We are a membership-based association with about 5,000 members. We provide training to school resource officers and school administrators across the country. WHAT DOES A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER DO? SROs are sworn certified law enforcement officers. They are deployed into the school environment in a community-based policing concept. They work in a collaborative effort between schools and law enforcement. An SRO’s day varies greatly. They may be involved in law enforcement or attend a safety function or an educational presentation in a classroom, or they may be in an informal counseling session. It is the most unique job in law enforcement. It is not a job someone is assigned. It is a job an officer applies for. WHY IS THIS WORK IMPORTANT? The No. 1 goal of an SRO should be to bridge the gap between law enforcement and youth. We are trying to build relationships. WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS? If properly selected and specifically trained, SROs are there to make a positive difference in the lives of students. They are there to have a positive impact. WHAT DID YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING AN SRO? It really is student oriented. It is not about being a school cop; it is about being a good civil servant and being student-centric. DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST THOUGHTS TO SHARE WITH OUR READERS? It is important that SROs are among the absolute best officers in community because they will become most well-known in their community.MAY 2018 www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland 9

The changes in that map will tell them how land and water move on our planet. For www.upandcomingweekly.com of Cumberland County www.kidsvillenews.com/cumberland example, a melting glacier will have less water, and so less mass as it melts. Less mass means less gravitational pull, so the GRACE-FO satellites will have less distance between them. That data can be used to help scientists figure out if the glacier is melting. GRACE-FO will also be able to look at how Earth’s overall weather changes from year to year. For example, the satellite can monitor certain regions to help us figure out how severe a drought is. These satellites will help us keep track of one of the most important things to all life on this planet: water.
