' , h ON THEIR WAY to place a time capsule are students of Ashley 2nd grade classes: Andrea Wright, Gillian Collins, Shane Kidd,' Robin Bailey, Angela Anderson, Annalee Bassett, Matt Honeycutt, Curtis Hardinger, Jeremy Pierce, Dirk Bigelow, Katie Lekas and Kristi Haslem. Teachers are: Jackie Wilkins, Linda Lin-da Davis and Teresa Phillips. 2nd grade students prepare time capsule Things sealed away in a time capsule cap-sule will remain there for the next ten years before being recovered and examined ex-amined by a select group of students. That is the plan of 2nd grade students at Ashley Elementary who have been preparing materials for their time capsule since early this school year. Under the direction of Teresa Phillips, who was assisted by the other two 2nd grade teachers, Linda Davis and Jackie Wilkins, the time capsule project took shape. The students got the idea after hearing a story about a girl who was planning to travel in space and leave a time capsule behind. The idea was also enhanced by a slide presentation. Things placed inside the capsule include in-clude recent pictures of the children attached to their own self portraits. There are themes and stories about the bi-centennial of the U.S. Constitution Constitu-tion and plans written by the children for their lives over the next ten years. At this time in 1997 when the students are seniors in high school, they will return to Ashley for a homecoming and open the time capsule. cap-sule. As the children prepared to place the time capsule in a special place beneath the foundations of Ashley School, Principal Frank Andreason told them he hoped they would conduct con-duct their lives so they would be feeling feel-ing good about themselves when the ten years had past. "The students have been very excited ex-cited and enthusiastic about the project," pro-ject," said Principal Andreason. "This is quite a time in their lives."

Ii!iiti 7au m SMm$m Buy TV time with reading by AJ Pease Children spend an average of seven to eight minutes a day reading. Adults don't do a heck of a lot more and the reading level is usually on a fourth to sixth grade level. However, there is a lot of TV watching and reports indicate somewhere between two to six hours per day being the average. It's no wonder reading is continually considered one of the top, if not the top need in schooling. According to the US Office of Education, "Children improve their reading ability by reading a lot. Reading achievement is directly related to the amount of reading children do in school and outside." "...American children do not spend much time reading independently at school or at home. In the average elementary school, for example, children spend just 7 to 8 minutes a day reading silently. At home, half of all fifth graders spend only 4 minutes a day reading. These same children spend an average of 130 minutes a day watching television. Research shows that the amount of leisure time spent reading is directly related to children's reading comprehension, com-prehension, the size of their vocabularies, and the gains in their reading ability." Maybe TV could be used as a positive tool to help reading. Maybe a little of Grandma's psychology could work here. You know. "After you eat your vegetables you may have desert." You were able to "buy" your desert with vegetable eating. It's a good thing so many of us like desert. It got us to eat a ho' lot more of those "the're good for you" things that we wouldn't have if left up to us. It just might work, if you or your children aren't reading enough. Buy TV time with reading time. How about minute for minute if there is little lit-tle reading and a lot of television. Every minute reading buys a minute TV watching. It just might help-that is if you can control the TV operation. "Sure," you say. "That's a tough job, and besides that, how could you pull it off?" Well, the TV-to-reading time got out of balance in our home awhile back.

I sinned against the "American flag, apple pie, and Chevrolet." I cut the TV's electric cord. "Ah hah," I said as I rubbed my sweaty palms together and licked my dry lips. My eyes jerked from object to object around the room and finally locked on the lifeless television. "I did it. The power is mine at last." Yes, reading time increased. But cold turkey and total abstinence was too much. The "current events" monster, the champion of TV, came to it's rescue. The kids had to report in school on events around the world and we didn't have a big time newspaper. I had killed the major source of news in our home. Finally, I regained some composure com-posure and with my trusty little $5.98 electrical wire repair kit I fixed the TV cord with a quick connect-disconnect connect-disconnect fixture. Now I can take the plug off or put it on any time I want to. I sure hope the kids don't become electricians too soon.
