Show . i. A Mews Thursday, December 1, 1983 Dugway toddler has a winning face H by Sara Beeler J-- Get a group of parents together and you will get as many opinions about child rearing, teething and ear infections. But one thing that parents all seem to agree upon is that their child is the cutest. It never fails. Doubt a parent on this subject and you will invoke a wrath more powerful than ever imagined. While parents may. feel that they hold the market on cuteness in their arms, they may never realize that a source of capital may be no further away than the nearest bottle of formula. , In a response somewhat akin to the old "put your money where your mouth is statement, a local couple has begun allowing their infant son to model in area newspaper ads. Scott and Shelly Seaman looked into modeling after a suggestion from none other than an admiring grandparent. They now have something of a local celebrity in their ,7 i . School News In the past we have conducted the Junior Great Books Program with funds provided by the Gifted and Talented Program. The funds ran out and so we continued the program with parent volunteers. Last year we didn't have the program and so several parents asked us to put it back if at all possible. parent-voluntee- Mrs. Tina Szarek. These ladies are really doing a great job with the Junior-GreBooks Program! Minutes of elementary school community council meeting of November 1 8, 1 983 .V i The agency that works with Johnathan is unique in the care and attention they exhibit towards children. They recognize that it takes a special organization to handle the needs and resources of children. Looking through the modeling agency brochure, the bright faces and perfect hair cuts of carefully poised children grace the pages. Contrast to Johnathan: a typical looking for mischief and testingthe skills of his parents. His smile is broad and wet . . teething is in progress. His hair is mussed, too much chasing the cat and dog and putting on a performance for the visiting guest. He seems too quick and active to sit still for a long photo session. One thing the modeling agency stresses is that they want the kids to have a good time. When modeling becomes something that the kids dont want to do or the parents are pushing the child to do, the agency will not ask them back. They feel the children should enjoy what they are doing. Watching Johnathan, it is hard to imagine him not having a good time anywhere. When preparing for a photo session, his mom and dad dress him and someone from the agency takes him to a room where the photos will be taken. Parents are not encouraged to join or watch as rs , -- Ex-Dugw. ay competed a gruelling 18 mile mountainous "Roman Run from Brecon to Merthyr-Tidfi- l in Wales.

He said that the race was more challenging than the last two marathons he ran post in preparation for upcoming marathons. - L ;,v4 children seem to act better with a not so familiar person other than with their parents. The agency also understands that some days things dont go as planned, children do get cranky and fuss. This helpful attitude takes a lot of pressure off both the children and parents, and the results are seen in the color ads that feature heir clients. What does the future hold for Johnathan? Maybe a few television ads . . . and who knows what else. Growing up with this exposure may prove to be a plus, but for now his parents are pleased with his career, and its benefits , . . the small compensation by the agency and the many photo ads featuring their son. Mailing them to families far away provides a chance for them to watch him progress and grow . . . and in living color! Capt. Richard S.
