September is 'Green Ribbon Month' LAYTON How many children under the age of 18 years have been hurt or killed in Davis County as a result of pedestrianauto crashes? Watch for the green ribbons being tied all over the county and you will get the picture. Two years ago, Kiersten Hewitt of Layton decided to do something to remind areas or anywhere kids are present. She started people to slow down in school "Green Ribbon Month.- Now Jill McArthur of Davis County Safe Kids Coalition and Hewitt are working together to promote the month of September as Green Ribbon Month with the theme, Children Pedestrian Safety.. "Elementary middle, and high schools will choose a week during the month of September to promote Green Ribbon Month! said Hewitt. Students will sign pledges of safety and also take home pledge cards for parents to sign." and Hewitt said they especially want high school students that drive to sign-u- p pledge to drive safely. Everyone signing a pledge card gets a green ribbon to put on their car or tie it to a tree in their yard. There will be a large press conference Saturday, Sept. 18 at 9 a.m. informing the public what the green ribbons stand for and asking for their support. The conference will be held at 500 West 1500 South, Woods Cross. For more information on Green Ribbon Month, call Kiersten Hewitt at was party day for the second graders in Hursts classroom. While nine parents prepared nine games or stories for the students to begin at nine a.m., the students were given their math class before the parents arrived. With a blackboard full of work problems such as0 9 9, 1 8 9, 11-- 2 9, etc. all answers to the math problems became 9. After math lesson, the children were treated to story time as parent, Jill Helsel - dressed for the part - kept their full attention with her performing antics as she read to them from a INE teams try their bodies at making the number 9 during the special party their teacher Ms Hurst threw for them celebrating the date 9999 1 according to the number on the duck they picked. Then there was Bingo, Clothes Pins game and more but the finale for the morning was eating the special cake baked for the event. The cake was baked in the shape of a 9 with the number 9 in colorful picture book. Then it was time for the students to form nine teams. Teams took turns laying on the floor to see who could form the number 9 better - it was a icing decorating it. toss-u- Other parents helping with this special event were: Diane Farmer, Lisa Hunt, Karen Meyers, Donna Lewandowski, Maree Heaton, Donna Jeffery, Carol Holland, Nora Wendell, and Jean Boman. A day like this will not happen (January 1, again until 2001) said Hurst. I believe they will always remem- With nine games or activities, the nine teams rotated around the room as they tried the Toss Across (attempting to toss nine colorful striped ball into nine colorful cans), or tried their hand at the Ping Pong Shootout (shoot the nine colorful ping pong ball off the tops of nine soda bottles using a rubber band shooting gun). Then there was the Lucky 9 Duck game (nine yellow ducks with numbers on their bottoms, floating in a pan of water). Kids won a prize yyi' v ber the day they celebrated the '9 V' day! : V' Hurst said she believes kids should remember they do have fun in school. PARENT JILL HELSEL entertains the second graders at King! Elementary School with her antics while reading to them during their spe-- ! cial 9999 party Electronic High School offers courses Utah's Electronic High School provides courses for high school students in grades 9 through 12 who wish to make up lost credit, take courses not offered at their school, or those who wish to take additional courses to accelerate graduation. These courses are delivered in a number of ways: 0 over broadcast television on KUED and KULC 0 y over the EDNET system for conferencing 5 two-wa- 0 over the Internet The Electronic High School courses are comparable in difficulty and content to courses being offered in any of Utah's high schools. However, these courses demand that students be motivated sufficiently to complete the class work inde- m pendently. Courses delivered on KUED and KULC have specific broadcast dates and consequently must be completed in a fairly rigid time frame. Similarly, courses delivered on EDNET are usually held during the school day and students must have access to an EDNET studio in order to take a class. Internet delivered courses are typically open enrollment. That is, a student may register for a course any day of the year. Most classes have great flexibility in the amount of time a student has to complete the course. The exceptions are the advanced placement classes that must be completed in time to take the AP exams. After searching the catalog, and before enrolling in a class, students should check with their counselor or principal to ensure that you are enrolling in the correct course and that the school will accept the credit earned. The catalog for Electronic High School can be accesses on computer at TMI W http:ehs.uen.orgcatalog.html.

Compression amplifiers add more volume for soft sounds as well as automatically compensate for loud sounds. The chief benefit to wearers is that hear- ing instruments with compression amplifiers are more comfortable to , in noisy environments. In addi- tion, they produce less distortion than traditional linear amplifiers, This technical advantage represents but one of the significant changes to seen in aring instruments over recent years, if you had been fitted Unlike Terry Clawson, M.S.
