In a current article on the subject of "gifted underachlevers," Melissa Etlin reports that the two Ned Kohler NED KOHLER RECEIVES SILVER BEAVER AWARD Courtesy Bernardo News Mrs. Jeanette ... a trustee L. Ned Kohler, for the Poway Unified School Board, was awarded the Silver Beaver Award in recognition for distinguished service to youth. The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, with the approval of the National Court of Honor, presented Kohler his award, signed by President Reagan, at the Sea World Pavlllion. Kohler was noted for having logged a total of 22 years service to San Diego County Council. The Coastal Mountain District Chairman, Kohler has served as Scoutmaster, committee member, district member at large, executive board member and chairman of the LDSBSA Relationships Committee. He is active in his church, Stake YoungMen's President, First Councilor to the Stake President, Regional Executive Secretary and Regional Public Communications Director. He is currently the state president of the California Association of Laree Sub urban School Districts, trustee on the executive committee of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, on the board of directors for the San Diego Master Chorale and an active alumnus inSigmaNu Fraternity. He is also a fundraiser for his church and Children's Hospital. most common signs of the problems of gifted underachlevers are the class clown and the bully. And the article notes that more than half of all intellectually gifted students are discipline problems in classrooms. It's tough to Identify the shy kids who passively comply gettingmerely passing grades, when they could be academically outstanding. Sometimes they have problems with health, lack of basic skills, handicaps and motivation conflicts. Melissa Etlin reports that often bright teenage females deliberately underachieve because they're afraid they wont be popular If they appear to be smart. Sometimes we adults don't expect enough from gifted children who produce good school work when great work should be coming from them. Sometimes they achieve greatness despite setbacks. College professors rated Louis Pasteur "mediocre" in chemistry; F.W.Woolworth was fired from a dry goods store; Abraham Lincoln entered the Black Hawk War as a captain and came home a private; and an editor told Louisa May Al-cshe'd never write anything with popular appeal. ott Sfc9St Not long ago, commentators were raising the cry that America's young dont have any heroes anymore. That statement seemed to say that heroes are, well, older people. One observer says kids perpetuate heroism, according to a leaflet describing a summer Institute on The Heroic Ideal in Children's Books. That leaflet cites a question raised by author Paul Hazard, which goes this way: "How would heroism be kept alive in our aging earth if not by each fresh, young generation that begins anew the epic of the human race?" He seems to be saying that kids are heros, and he's correct. Any old who raises her scared five-ye- ar hand to answer a teacher's question Is taking the risk of being snickered at. Anyone who takes a risk hero, is at least a junior-graright? The same goes for an eight -- year-old who braves the bogeyman by spending a sleepless night alone in a backyard tent. It goes for the flute player who's shuddering like Jello as she prepares to audition for the school orchestra. These small, splendid acts may not seem like much, but they're the makings of heroism when the situation calls for It. Ask the mother whose was pulled from a swift unning canal by a 12 year old. Today's kids may like rock musicians and movie stars people we adults don't always consider heroic, but children also like a flock of genuine, solid gold heroes and heroines. They like each other. f Thursday April 21, 1988 gv -- A Sickness and mid-Febru- -- de -- two-year-- -r- 11 Q j pany, announces today their plans to build a Fossil Resin Processing Plant in Wellington, Utah.

Avoid tight shoes or garters or other constricting clothing. Elevating your lets when you sit can be helpful too. In severe cases, varicose veins may cause swollen ankles, itching calves, and leg pain. The serious problem Is the formation of blood clots in the affected veins. Sensitive and prominent veins can be unsightly and uncomfortable. Fortunately, doctors can remove them safely and permanently, The surgical method is called stripping (cutting out and tlelng off the distended veins). A second option, sclerosing, calls for the Injection of a solution that hardens the affected veins and blocks the blood flow. The blocked veins form a kind of scar tissue and are eventually absorbed. In both instances, blood reroutes itself through deeper lying veins. Have a good week and be good to your veins. -1- - es markets. CPS plans to begin with a single shift employing ten to 15 workers.

While fossil resin exists in almost all coals, the Wasatch Plateau coal fields of central Utah is the only place in the United States, and one of only two places in the world, where this fossil resin can be found in such a high concentration. "Although Utah's unique resin's resource was critical in CPS 's decision to come to Carbon County, this project would not have proceeded to the point it is today without the professional, energetic reception we received from everyone involved with our visits to Utah," says Judith Habeggar, chief financial officer for CPS.
