Show HILLTOP TIMES 10 TIMES Sept. 15, 2011 Five Airmen read tales with students as part of 9/11 grant cats up trees. Then, Pickles gets stuck in a tree and has to be rescued by a firefighter. Pickles soon becomes the firehouse cat and, at the end of the story aids in the rescue of a cat who is stuck up the same tree where Pickles was stranded. "What can we learn from this story?" Jensen said. Nearly every hand in the room shot up and the ensuing answers included, "Cats can do what dogs can do," "Be nice to everybody," and "He learned he could do big things." Besides providing the students with a fun experience in class, the books have a deeper meaning. Each book was donated to the school and has a nameplate in the front mentioning Brady Howell, who had local ties and died at the Pentagon on 9/11. The books also included an envelope with Brady's story inside. This is an opportunity to bring the military into schools and keep 9/11 at the forefront," said By JASEN ASAY Standard-Examiner Davis Bureau W o knew you could learn so much from a story about a cat named Pickles? As part of a 9/11 grant the Utah Commission on Volunteering gave to United Way, five employees from Hill Air Force Base read books to students at Hill Field Elementary School last Thursday afternoon. The stories were just as exciting for the kindergartners, first- and secondgraders as they were for the members of the military who read the books to the classes. "I read this same book when I was growing up, so when I realized what it was my eyes got real big," said Senior Airman Jeff Seabolt, 25, who read "Going to the Firehouse" from the Little Critter series. "It was like a flashback." Capt. Steve Jensen, 30, who usually spends his time flying F16s, read "The Fire Cat" to a group of second-graders.
