The Don Rosen Show (Hour 2)

You know, there's another Brian Regan in show business.

It's a true story.

He's a screenwriter.

And he's really good.

He wrote 102 Dalmatians and had to lose a guy in 10 days

and all these other good movies.

But I didn't know about him.

I was out on the road and these people said,

you want to do a local TV interview.

And I'm like, yeah.

That sounds good.

They say, we want to do it out in front of the movie theater.

I'm like, OK.

Yeah, we want to have the 102 Dalmatians logo behind us

during the interview.

OK.

Is that look good on camera or something?

So we're sitting in the little wooden chairs

and he goes, so tell me about the movie 102 Dalmatians.

Yeah, that's a lot of dogs jumping around.

You know, it's going to be fun.

How will 102 Dalmatians be different from 101 Dalmatians?

I'm not a math expert.

I'm going to guess three dogs.

Funny man, Brian Regan.

I was doing whatever you were, yeah, wake me up.

Boy, go go, believe me, hang on, lie to you.

Good morning at 7.09 at WRGN.

I'm Don Rosen.

Thanks for joining us here at Civic Media Radio,

hometown radio, refresh brand of Fuentes is here right now,

from the Racine Public Library.

Hi Don.

It's the latest, it's the greatest, it's the library.

Yeah, library.

Put your grip on that microphone, face it right toward you.

Everywhere you have to say is important.

Yeah, that's perfect.

Okay, when I was a kid, I still hear people say it now,

I went to the library, it's not the library, it's library,

and it's not February, it's February.

I don't know what those things are, knowing me in life.

They just do.

They just annoy me when people say library or February.

I want to say, come here a second.

Come here.

How stupid are you?

It's not library.

So the little three-year-old kid said to me,

put my mom and said it's library.

No idea if it was, I'd never said that to a three-year-old.

Well, thank you for joining us here this morning.

You are the detective in the library system.

That's what I'm going to call you.

Because when somebody wants something

and the Racine Library doesn't have it,

I thought you scour Southeast Wisconsin for it,

but you scour the country for it, even the world.

Well, we found a library in France on Rude Paris,

and they have it.

We'll have it sent here in a couple of years.

But actually, you do scour the whole system.

So in the inter-library system,

it's not just burlington and local.

It's the country.

How do you check the country?

Let's say I want a book or DVD or something

that is not at the Racine Library,

because you don't have everything.

You have almost everything.

You don't have everything there.

So what do you do?

So the detectiveness he's talking about is inter-library loan.

So basically, it's a service that allows patrons

of one library to borrow materials that are held by another library.

So what we do is we search on WISCAT specifically.

And what's WISCAT, there we go.

WISCAT, it's basically like a huge catalog

of all of them are two materials in the country,

and DVDs, things like that.

So you just search.

And sometimes they have it, sometimes they don't.

This is like that thing that he's always seen on Dateline.

When they have somebody's DNA,

they put it into the system.

And they could tell everybody who's ever been arrested in America

and check their DNA against it.

That's basically what it is.

Yeah, basically.

So you're checking for a bookshelf.

I want this particular book.

And it's in Florida or it's in Alabama, you can find it.

Well, what we do is when we send it in a request,

we don't specifically, we're not able to specifically

pick a library from the state.

They accept the request, if that makes sense.

Yeah, and they'll get it to you.

Yeah, through the mail.

You have to return it?

Yes, unfortunately.

They get to keep it.

So how long does it take?

Let's say I want their particular book

and you found it in Pennsylvania.

How long does it take to get here?

For them to actually accept their request,

then for it to come in.

It would take about like a week or two.

That's it, huh?

Yeah.

And there's postage and everything on this thing.

It's expensive.

Yeah.

Especially if it's a big fat book.

Oh, yeah.

Get big books.

Who has to suck up the postage?

I don't know.

I think the library does.

It's not me, though.

No, no, I don't.

I mean.

In taxes it does.

But in other words, if I want the book,

you didn't say, well, if you want that,

it's going to be $26.99.

Oh, no, no.

It's the library takes care of that.

Unless you lose it.

Then that's a different story.

You know, I've told this story before.

There are things I've never returned to the public library.

I still have to this day.

It's not your library.

Oh, okay.

It's where I grew up in Massapique, New York.

I took out a book.

Actually, my brother took out two books.

He's to blame even worse than I am.

Took out the book called The Giant in 1958.

And he took out a book called The Roger Marit Story.

He was to Roger Marit as the baseball player in 1963.

And he never returned it.

Oh.

And naughty boy.

I took out an album.

The original Broadway cast to buy by Birdie in 1968.

I still have it.

It's my basement.

Oh, I wonder if you have fines for that.

And then I took out some newspapers.

You were able to take out.

This is before they had the all the newspapers on the microfilm.

So I took the newspapers and took them home with a variety.

It was a show business paper.

I still have them.

I looked at them just recently for something.

It was from 1971.

I still have them.

Wow.

The skeletons are coming out the closet.

Now, in all fairness, I called the library years later

and they said, we don't want them back.

Because we get rid of all our record albums.

But now, vinyl's making a comeback.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Do they want it now?

Me.

And it's just...

You know, they used to do it.

They used to have a...

I mean, now you just scan stuff.

It's in a computer.

But they used to have to take a picture of the library card

that said what you were taking out.

They folded out a said record album by Biberty.

And they took a picture of the return card with a date on it.

And they used to snap a picture of it on microfilm.

And that's why they never caught a lot of people.

Because there was no computer.

They had to physically look at this film to find out who didn't return stuff.

And it's very time consuming.

And you had to find...

And they have thousands of people who would thousands

taking stuff out of the library.

I mean, the chance of them catching me.

And I didn't do it on purpose.

I just forgot about it.

And so I still have...

They're going to turn me in, are you?

I don't know.

I have police on standby.

Remember, Seinfeld, Mr. Bookman?

No.

It was a Seinfeld episode.

A detective, Mr. Bookman showed up.

Jerry Seinfeld's house.

He had some books that he'd never returned when he was in high school.

And he said,

Your library detective is actually named Bookman.

And he was, he was a library detective.

They don't have those, do they?

No.

Do I need to start worrying?

No, you're fine.

You're fine.

Okay, so this is called the interlibrary loan system.

And that's your department.

Yep.

That's what you do.

That's kind of a...

You got to be a detective all day long.

Because people want stuff.

My wife took out a book.

You had a copy of it, but you didn't have it in.

They said, Well, we do...

We found it in another Southeast Wisconsin library.

It was a reference book.

And they said, Well, have it sent here.

But it was now...

It was a reference book that's no longer considered the reference book.

You could take it home with you.

And they had it within two days.

That must have been a library that was closer.

It was Barnington.

Oh, yeah.

That takes...

That takes like...

Somebody's got to write over there and schlep over and go pick it up.

And you have people to do that, right?

They just write around all they picking up stuff with different libraries around here.

We have our regular guys that come in and drop off bins and bins of books.

And it takes hours to organize.

We have a huge machine.

We call it Oscar, the Grouch.

And basically it like files through all the books and puts it in.

It's really huge.

You should see it one of these days.

That's really big.

It's not a person named Oscar.

Oh, no, no.

We call it Oscar.

I thought maybe it was someone somebody worked at the library.

No, no.

It's through the Grouch.

Because God was grouchy.

All right.

So that's...

So that does work then.

And people can get a book.

And how long does it take you to find it?

Um, on WISCAD, it doesn't take me long.

Sometimes I find it.

Sometimes I don't.

Um, so unfortunately I have to make the call and tell them we don't have it anywhere.

So...

Not in the entire country?

I guess not.

What's the oddest thing people have ever asked for that you couldn't find?

Oh, um, there was...

I think there's a book about something about prostate or something.

I don't know.

And it was a real book?

Or they...

Yeah, it was a real book.

And it's not available at any library in America?

I...

I mean, it wasn't, no.

Wow.

That must be a rare book.

Yeah.

Sometimes if they're really old, they don't come.

They just don't send them through.

Is that too old?

Yeah, they're too old.

Yeah, too much liability.

Wow.

But it's...

But you get most of the books.

You find them.

Mm-hmm.

Even CDs.

We have patrons that want like a CD from like the 70s, 80s.

Which is not that long ago.

I mean...

I'm playing music here from the 70s and 60s.

But to find them actually at a library is really rare for them to actually be there.

You have a good collection at your library CDs.

They're pretty oldies in there.

Yeah.

You can check the entire country for them.

Yeah, DVDs.

I love it.

Because I did want a DVD.

But you had many copies of it.

But they were all out.

Yeah.

And you said, well, we did find a copy in wherever library it was here in town in Southeast Wisconsin.

And I said, well, go get it.

I want to see that thing.

Forget it.

And within two days they got a little text on my phone.

A little email said, come get it.

Yep.

And I thought that was great.

I mean, that's a great little system.

A lot of people don't know this.

They sit at home and say, oh, the library with the card catalogs.

I've had it with them when I was a kid.

There's so much more to the library today.

And we've got a whole bunch of stuff here to talk about.

What's coming up here at the library is a book sale.

I'm going to find out how you determine which books are no good anymore.

And you want to sell them off.

Yeah.

I am.

Well, we'll talk about that again.

Plus, we have news headlines from Stuart J. Wattles.

Just a moment here.

That's all straight ahead.

My guest is Ms. Fuente's Brianna Fuente's from the,

I'm sorry.

I'm looking at the clock.

Um, official title.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah.

Officers caught up with Hofman at an area of motel

where the hotel with the dog was allegedly recovered,

not allegedly was recovered.

The other items allegedly stolen were also recovered

Hofman is facing several felony charges.

How do you steal a dog?

Oh, I can't get lower than that.

A person of interest in a Carthage College attack Tuesday night

isn't from Kenosha, has no ties to the college.

Police say it around 830 that night a female student yelled out

An environmental group is working with Mount Pleasant officials

and sound sure fire crews in an effort to help out

near Highway 31.

It'll be a midday smoke session, just west of Green Bay Road

and south of Brown Road or Brown Road.

There'll be no closures along the nearby Pike River Pathway.

I've seen that occasionally.

They have these controlled burns.

You think the whole world is burning down?

Are you fine?

They're just practicing.

And they have to burn something.

So Stuart J. Wattles and a new center watching those stories

for us this morning.

He'll have updates about the day right here at WRJN724

and Brandon Pointe's is here from their scene library.

Got a solar eclipse coming up.

Oh, yeah.

Now, you're not supposed to look at those things direct

because they can burn your eyes.

And you don't know it while you're looking it until all of a sudden

you say, gee, it's dark in here.

How come I can't see anymore?

Are you going to burn your retinas?

That's why.

So what's with the solar eclipse viewing?

You're going to have that at the library?

Yeah.

What do you have like going on those pin cameras?

Is that how you're going to do it?

Um, I have no idea what a pin camera is.

No, I don't know what that is.

You take a piece of paper.

You poke a hole in it.

And you aim it toward the sun.

And on another piece of paper, you can see the eclipse

on the other piece of paper.

I did that during a solar eclipse and I was a kid.

Take a piece of paper.

You poke a hole.

You aim it toward the sun.

And you look down at the piece of paper and you can see the sun

with the eclipse.

Yeah, we're going to have our own little special sun glasses.

Oh, okay, good.

Yeah, we're going to have them.

It's going to be first come for serve.

So we have limited quantity.

But it is April 8th from 1252 to 1222.

Hold on, hold on.

Got to rate that down.

April 8th.

What time?

1252 to 322 p.m.

It's going to be upstairs on the second floor.

That's when the solar eclipse is, huh?

I guess so.

I guess you wouldn't do it unless the solar eclipse.

Yeah.

So on the second floor, is there like an open viewing area?

I think we're going to be doing activities.

I don't know if we're going to actually do the event outside

or from the big windows.

Still it's exciting.

Yeah.

It is.

All ages are welcome.

I've seen think two solar eclipses in my lifetime.

And both of the time they had that with that pin camera.

Because I looked, don't let burn your eyes.

And I'm one of these and all the other kids are going, I could see it.

I'm just squinting it.

Don't look.

And I'm with my little piece of paper, my pin camera I made.

And I was told not to look.

So I got scared and didn't look.

Yeah.

I've never seen one before.

So yeah.

All right.

Meet your favorite local author event is coming up.

All right.

Now the authors have to be living.

They can't be dead.

A lot of authors passed away.

We're not talking about Mark Twain or anything like that.

But you can.

So how do you meet the authors?

So we're going to have about seven local authors.

If you want to know the specifics of who's coming, it's going to be on our website.

No.

So they have presentations and panels.

They'll talk about a little bit about themselves.

You can also grab an autograph.

And then they're also going to be selling their own products there.

I had an author in here yesterday.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Carol G. N. Fortay.

She does these big events at the Golden Rendell with Jim Messier.

And they're reminiscing about Racine.

And she wrote a book about her life growing up on Carlisle Avenue in Racine.

And my wife reads it to me because she's such a great reader.

And I love when she reads to me.

I lay in bed.

And she just reads at close match.

I listen to it.

And I started crying.

Listening to the book.

It was that good.

I mean, she talks about growing up and then seeing her next door neighbors.

When they first got married, they were a newlywed couple.

And they were starting out their life together.

Then they got older.

They moved to Arizona.

And eventually they passed away from old age.

I mean, I'm sitting there crying.

Listening to this book.

Because everybody can relate to that.

She related to her father growing up.

And her dad used to fix the house.

And used to repair things on the house.

And he got so old that he couldn't do that anymore.

He couldn't repair the house.

And I can relate to that.

My dad got old too.

And dad, get off that ladder.

What do you lost your marble?

And you know, I can relate to all that stuff.

And I'm going to cry it in the bedroom and everything.

Oh, I think it's just sitting in a marriage anyway.

So yeah, it's a really good book.

So she's a published author.

And I had her signed the book yesterday.

Wow.

We have a lot of authors here in Racine.

We get a lot of books from people who are living Racine.

They take a chance on it.

They write their own books.

Some, you know, get published by themselves.

And some get published by big publishing houses.

I have a Bob Barry.

Now, you don't know who Bob Barry is.

He was a big disc jockey, W-O-K-Y radio in Milwaukee.

And he's the guy who got to meet the Beatles when they first came to town.

Do you remember the Beatles?

We played them so many Beatles.

You're familiar with the Beatles.

He got to meet them and introduce them on stage at a concert in Milwaukee.

He also got to meet the Rolling Stones.

Interviewed them when they came to town.

So Bob Barry got to do all that stuff.

He wrote a book.

And it's the next book I'm going to read when my wife's going to read to me.

And we'll have Bob Barry back on the show again.

So yeah, we got a lot of published authors here in town.

That's cool.

In the area.

And so, again, you're going to let this all out on the website.

What date can they start checking?

Today.

Today.

Today.

So checking.

This was the song.

Hold on.

Let's see if we can get this work in here.

Eventually, we'll get it to work.

You don't use them, huh?

Nope.

Not anymore.

If you show up at 1245 or 1230, you can...

You can read a book.

You can read a book and get ready for the eclipse viewing.

They come by very few and far between.

So this is a good chance for you to view the solar eclipse.

Let's talk about a seed library.

What's the seed library?

Is it real seeds or...?

Yes.

Oh, really?

It's a huge mossy cabinet we have on the second floor.

We have pre-package, pre-counted seeds.

We have vegetable seeds, sometimes herbs and fruit seeds.

And so they're free.

You can take as many as you want as long as you use them.

I get to tell my wife that if you see the seeds every spring.

As a matter of fact, she bought this big box of seeds

and they have these little trays to get them started.

You know, the seedlings end up planting them.

And so she's doing that right now.

She'll tell her.

Yeah.

She'll tell her to come in.

You know, library card?

No.

You just come upstairs.

You just grab them.

No, really?

Yeah.

We have library cards this year.

Yeah.

We're not trying to pull a fast one yet.

We do have them.

And I go to the library all the time.

At Christmas time, we couldn't find these CDs.

Either previous owner got rid of our Christmas CDs.

So I had to go to the library at Christmas music.

And that's where we played our Christmas music from.

Wow.

The public library.

Yeah.

And they were in good condition.

They didn't skip.

Oh, yeah.

We cleaned those.

So that was good.

That's what we got.

I get my DVDs from there.

You've got the newest movies.

Now they may be out because some but you get on the list.

And they people return them pretty quickly.

So you can always do that if you want to check out your local movie.

What about the spring book sale coming up?

Oh, spring book sale.

I don't know much about the book sale.

Let's move on now.

Let's move on now.

We'll have some information.

I mean, all the proceeds support our library.

It's with the friends of the library.

We sell used or I should say pre-owned paperback and hardcover books.

Fiction and nonfiction for all ages.

DVD CDs.

If you're looking for a CD, Don, you can find one there.

We also sell paintings and some home decor.

Paintings.

Yes, sometimes.

Yeah, I see them.

I see them on there.

So is this one of those things you hear about?

Somebody say, I bought this painting from the library for $3.

Now it's worth $450 million.

I mean, if you're lucky.

I don't know.

You always find that.

Somebody a goodwill buys something.

I bought this little trinket from Goodwill and I found that it's worth $350 million.

When I buy something from Goodwill, it's always worth less than what I paid for it.

Oh, yeah.

But you always find these people that fall into that kind of stuff.

That's my mom, basically.

She finds the expenses.

Oh, yeah.

She sells on eBay and she found something for $0.50 and she found out it sells for about $1,000.

Whoa.

Yeah.

Shout out to my mom.

I never fall into that luck.

No.

Me neither.

I don't know how she does it.

You see, when I go into a goodwill store, I buy something I need.

And the problem is what I need is not always, you know, you got to look around and say, you

know, I think I see the word Rembrandt underneath that ink over that paint.

Maybe if I wash away the paint, I'll find it's a Rembrandt underneath it.

I never, I'm never that lucky.

All right.

So at the book sale, you've got DVDs, paintings.

What do you mean home decor?

Home decor.

Maybe like vase, is it vase, vase, vase, vases?

We have those.

We have vases.

We also have puzzles.

But most of the time, it's just books and magazines probably.

Yeah.

Magazine is actually magazines and CDs, DVDs, where's the book sale?

So right when you go into the library, it's right, you take a right and it's in a long

hallway.

It's called the booktique.

The booktique.

The booktique.

It's renovated it.

So it's a little bit bigger.

We have more room.

You came up with that name, right?

No.

Okay.

So if I was you, I'd take credit for it.

I'd take credit for it.

People say, you know, I like what I heard on WRJ and you really like it?

That was my idea.

I really hated what you did there.

I know.

I told the guy.

I don't want to get in.

I would do that kind of stuff.

I was surprised you don't do that.

I would take credit for it.

You go around watching.

They're listening.

I don't want to.

I'm just kidding.

Yeah.

So what else is going on that I didn't get to?

We are closed.

We are actually closed.

The library and the book maybe is closed on Friday, March 29th, so tomorrow for spring

break.

Spring break or Easter and good Friday and all that.

I technically, we call it the beginning of spring break because I can't cool it.

Yeah.

Oh, we can't use the end.

Yeah, we can't.

No.

Through March 29th, which is what day?

Friday.

So it's closed for a week?

No, just tomorrow.

Oh, just tomorrow.

It says here, this Friday, and I thought it meant through March 29th, which is what

it meant.

It's the beginning.

I don't work Saturday.

So I'm fine.

It's mine.

My time.

And the library is open on Saturdays.

Yeah, correct.

Limited hours or what?

Until four.

Just the same.

But it is definitely open.

It's definitely open.

Because I went to the bank the other day.

One of my banks, I went to a different branch because I know my branch is closed Saturdays.

And I went there because they said they were open Saturdays and I got there.

They were in open.

Maybe they closed because you were coming.

No, their website says they're open.

And the lady at my branch when I went to go see her, she made the mistake of saying,

how are things going?

I said, okay.

Now that you asked, I'll tell you.

I went to your branch, the other branch on Saturday and they were closed.

Well, they were open.

I said, I went there.

I knocked on the window.

There was nobody there.

It was pitch dark.

No cars in the parking lot.

I know what closed looks like.

And they were closed.

But they're open till noon.

I said, well, I got there at five minutes after 12.

And there's no way they could have locked up that branch at the bank.

No way they could have done that.

Close the lights.

Empty the parking lot.

Lock the vaults.

Got everything in five minutes.

No way.

I'm off the air day to clock.

I can't get out of here at 8.05.

And I don't know.

I'll lock up anything.

And so she just gave me that blank stare.

And I said, I know they left early because they weren't there at 12.05.

And forget all that.

The website said they're open to one.

It said right on the thing, they're one o'clock.

They're open till.

And I was there at 12.05.

So I know they weren't open till one.

And I got this blank stare.

Like, what do I tell this guy?

He's getting irate.

I wasn't irate.

I didn't really care.

She just asked me how things were.

And I said, okay, now they asked.

Let me tell you how things were.

Yeah.

So as long as you asked.

I'll tell you, I wasn't going to mention it.

But I did mention it.

Okay.

So for people just tuning in now, you are the interlibrary.

Loan specialist.

Loan specialist.

I love it.

I know what my title is here.
