Buckley looks on. The children and parents par-ents experienced an open forum at Ashley Elementary after a two week workshop on creative writing. Artist in Education teaches writing skills in schools Ms. BJ. Buckley recently spent two weeks teaching writing skills to Ashley Elementary students. The target group were those children chil-dren in fourth and fifth grades. She conducted writing sessions to all other grades also. The Artist in Education program is sponsored by the Utah Arts Council placing an artist, i.e., writer, writ-er, painter, etc., in Utah schools to conduct one-on-one workshops to students in the school. At Ashley, the kindergarten and first grades developed a group poem. The second grade learned Haiku (Japanese style poetry) and water colors. In the third grade, the . children wrote individual poems and made an individual book. The fourth grade wrote horse poems and drew pictures to illustrate. The fifth grade wrote individual and group poems and made books. The target group were 30 children from the fourth and fifth grades who attended individual workshops and produced a variety of poems and books. The children's writings were displayed dis-played throughout the school during parent-teacher conferences held last week. The Special Needs class also participated par-ticipated in the program. They listened lis-tened to "just so" stories, such as How the Elephant Got Its Trunk and How the Giraffe Got Its Long Neck. One of special needs students wrote his philosophy on how the zebra got its strips. He explained that a white horse and a black horse were together fighting. Each horse had their own water hole, one black and one white. God came to earth and reprimanded each horse for fighting. The white horse got into the black water and the black horse got into the white water and swam to the end of each water. When they got out the black horse had white stripes and the white horse had black stripes and that is how the zebra got stripes.

In 1863, George married Eliza Ann Taggart and in 1866 married her half sister Harriet Marie Taggart. In Oct 1868, he was called on a special colonization mission to help build up a new place called St. Joseph in the Arizona territory. The barren and unproductive conditions of the country reduced the family to destitution. At times, bran and melons mel-ons were all they had to eat After Brigham Young gave the Goodrich family their release, they left Sl Joseph and went to Ordcrvillc for a short time and on to Morgan. There on Oct. 9, 1979, George married Rhonda Slade, a school teacher. In 1885, the Goodrich family moved to Ashley Valley where George operated a grist mill in Macscr for eight years. During that Perception is more than half of our reality. What I think I can do may be more important than my actual ac-tual abilities to do it When a child says, "I can't", he will make that his reality, and even with all of our coaxing, he will fail, proving that he was right all along. A child's confidence in himself or herself is vital to success. And although al-though self-esteem begins to take shape in the infant, it is never too late to foster and develop iL Never too late, but easier said than done. These are cliches to live by. I can easily spot a thild in my Poster Contest will highlight watercolors A statewide Young Artists Poster Contest for elementary school students stu-dents will highlight recognition of October as Water Education Month in Utah. This year's theme is "Water: Our Most Valuable Resource." Poster contest winners from kindergarten through sixth grade will be honored with trophies and other prizes at the 6th Annual Governor's Conference on Water Education Banquet scheduled for November 17 at the University of Utah Union. An outstanding water educator and a citizen involved in water education and conservation will also be honored at the banquet.

Transportation to Lake Powell will be furnished by Hertz - America's Wheels. A Water Awareness Conference will be held October 18 at the Airport Hilton in Salt Lake City to focus on Utah's water supply and landscape management practices. Mark Eubank, Weather Bank, Inc., Salt Lake City, and Jonas Milton, with the California Department of Water Resources, will be featured speakers. The conference is sponsored by the Utah Division of Water Resources, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, and the Utah Association of Nursery and Landscape Architects. Governor Norman H. Bangcrtcr urges Utahns to learn more about the state's limited limit-ed water resources and pracu'ee wise water management at home and in the workplace. In conjunction with Water Education Month, 107,000 copies of a water education pamphlet written in comic book form have been distributed dis-tributed to grade school students. class who is in need of special attention at-tention in building a positive self-image. self-image. It's the quiet little boy who has no friends. It's the girl who shows off and plays class clown. It's the discipline problem; it's the middle kid in a large family; it's the teacher's pet who wants to stay after af-ter school and erase the chalkboard. In short, it's everyone-every, single, sin-gle, precious, individual one of the 30 or 33 or 36 students I may have in any given year. The link between home and school becomes increasingly vital just as it becomes increasingly difficult diffi-cult to connect. Our -children must hear the same message from home ' and school: You are important. You are a winner. I value you. I love you unconditionally. Find the strengths in your children. chil-dren. Praise them for their ability to organize a neighborhood ball game. Praise them for their imagination in a drawing they make. Praise them when they show caring for a younger brother or sister. Ask for their opinion. Ask for their help. Ask for their respect, but give them yours in return. As parents and teachers, we sometimes some-times define our role as that of Corrector, Finder of Mistakes. We, must broaden our perceptions of who we are. We are the voices that echo what our children will be. v) n i Yi 1J KEN RICHTERS is Mark Twain in Rangely performance.

Television personality Ken Richters has been signed to bring his one-man one-man show "Mark Twain On Tour" to the Colorado North Western Community College Nov. 1 at 6:30 p.m. The production, which began its yearly National Tour in August with a series of performances in Canada and the U.S. Virgin Islands, has been presented over 800 times in the past twelve seasons. The Rangely production will be a dinner theater with southern food. Richters requires almost three hours of make-up application to effect the transformation from a young, dark-haired actor to the crusty, grey-haired Twin in his seventies. sev-enties. The physical changes are relatively rel-atively sudden, when compared with the more than two years of preparation and research that allows Richters to do the personality and mannerisms of Twain as easily as he put on the white linen suit that has become the humorist's trademark. The actor first portrayed Mark Twain when a high school student in Simsbury, Conn. He went on to work ' in community theater, Broadway plays, soap operas and television.
