Teacher salary schedules in the Kane School District were boosted this by an average of $886 or 5.08 year. This was reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in its regular annual analysis of teacher salary changes in Utah. In addition to this overall increase in the salary schedules, most teachers in the district also received a normal experience increment that averaged $710. Thus, the total increase for most teachers in the Kane School District amounted to $1,596 or 9.14. Teachers who are the top step in the salary scale, of course, will benefit only from the change in the salary schedule. According to the Foundation report, the beginning salary for a classroom teachers in the Kane School District amounted to $15,112 this year. The salary schedules provide regular increases 11 years over this five-yea- was personnel during 1984-8$24,475, compared with $24,457 in the Mountain States and $24,569 for the nation as a whole. Again, inclusion of the special retirement fringe benefit provided by Utah would make the total compensation for all instructional staff members in Utah somewhat higher than Mountain States and U.S. averages. 5 for OBITUARY Emma Jane Schoenfeld to reach this maximum salary level. Foundation analysts point out that the above amounts are taken from the published district salary schedules and are based on approximately 184 working days or about nine months of service. The Legislature also appropriated more than $30 million to fund a career-ladde- r program in the various local districts. This could provide additional funds for teacher salaries in Utah. A teacher with a bachelors degree who began teaching five years ago in the Kane School District received a starting salary of $11,830 per year. Over the past five years that same teacher would have received increases totaling $4,090 in salary schedules adjustments plus $2,366 in annual experience increments. In addition, reductions in the required retirement contributions would have added $539 to the teachers take home pay. As a result, the total increase to the teacher would have amounted to Emma Jane Schoenfeld, age 60, the home died December 9, 1985 at of her brother in Kanab.

ROSALIE COLEMAN Education Continuing With Outreach by Rosalie Coleman I an very excited about the Of' reach Frogram from SUSC, as anyone could tell that I have discussed the program w ith. For me it has been a goal for many years to continue my education and I am loving it. I feel a sense of accomplishment, I feel a sense of self satisfaction, a sense of fulfillment. I would encourage everyone w ho has an interest to look at the Outreach program. I am working toward a business in degree administration with a major in accounting. I am married, my husband and I have a small business here in Kanab. We have four children, three of whom no longer live at home. We have five grandsons. It has been a challenge for me after being out of school so long, to form study habits and to rearrange my time for study, but I am happy I decided to take that challenge. d ' ; v, Jl At 10 a.m. on this Sunday, the celebration of Advent continues at the United Church. Scripture passages and musical selections will recount the Biblical story from the prophecies of Isaiah, to the birth of Christ, through the journey of the wise men. Members of the community are joining in an ecumenical choir and instrumental ensemble. The United Church is pleased that Ronald Aden, the vocal director of Southern Utah State College at Cedar City, will be a featured vocalist for this event. Ron has been at SUSC for the past four years where he has led a 60 voice choral as well as two vocal jazz groups, Opus 4 and "Primo. Ron is joined by his wife, Nancy, and daughter, Christy. Of special interest to many is the Tree in the lovely Christmas Fellowship Room. All of the ornaments are Christian symbols including signs of the trinity, historic crosses and religious figures. They are crafted in gold and white, representing the majesty and joy of Christ. Services of the United Church are open to all, and are held at their new facility located at 445 South 100 East, south on Highway 89A. Kanab Fire Dept. News The Kanab Fire Department has answered 45 calls so far this year. This compares to 43 for the same time last year. The Fire Department would like to thank Saran Webb for her generous donation of $100. The department would also like to for their donation thank of $300 worth of propane during the recent fire school. Thanks also to employees Billy Sargent and Tim Corley for their assistance at the propane school in manning the propane truck and helping with the propane fire demonstrations. Be cautious with fire over the Christmas holidays when presents and paper are stacked around the Christmas tree. Dont burn excess paper in stoves and fireplaces as this can generate a lot of excess heat. Check your Christmas tree for dry needles and try to keep the tree in water to prevent needle drop. Keep matches out of reach of small children. Does every member of your family know how to exit the home in case of fire? Have a safe and happy holiday season.

The only way a result nt from the Kanab area could continue an education after high school was to move away. Now, one has the opportunity to stay home and get a college education. I graduated from Kanab High School in May of 1983. I found a good secretarial position and did not want to give it up to move away to college. The continuing education program has given me the oppor tunity to keep my job and strive for a B.S. degree in business. It has also saved money by allowing me to live at home with my parents. Those who are unable to further their studies because of lack of finances might find this appealing. The class I have taken so far are economics 101, management con cepts, several business law classes, theater appreciation, several accounting classes, weight lifting and golf. There are many others available. I feel this program gives everyone an opportunity for a college education, and would sincerely urge all to support the Kanab area SUSC Educaitonal Program.

No one is ever too young or too old to better educate themselves. There is a campaign underway to help the people be more aware of the SUSC Outreach program in the Kane County area. Many people are taking advantage of this opportunity and are reaping the benefits of it. The program hopes to reach high school students, senior citizens and all in between. Some of those who are involved in the educational process will be highlighted during the coming weeks with the hopes of inspiring more to take advantage of the opportunities. It is hoped that if local residents will take advantage of these opportunities that the day may come when a branch college could be organized in the Kanab area. With the outreach program, young people can stay longer in this area and receive their education at the same time. They could even h?ve a year's college behind them by the time they graduate from high school. Again, with education and learnresponsibility, ing being a local residents are urged to take advantage of this priceless opportunity. Cemetery. in our Christmas drawing.

The Foundation report observes that the average salary paid to classroom teachers in Utah last year (1984 85) was $21,307, compared "ith $22,894 in the eight Mountain States and $23,546 in the United States as a whole. These salary differences, however, are largely offset by the fact that Utah pays most of the employees' share of the retirement costs, a fringe benefit not generally available in other states. When a comparison is made of the salary levels for all instructional experience and for added academic training. As a result, experienced teachers with a masters degree receive a maximum salary of or about 65 $24,935 in 1985-86- , more than a beginning teacher with only a bachelor's degree.
