Show I'uKf Kinht - The Sprintfvillf Herald - May 2. 1W1 The Apple 1? My Eye' talk ffoir Senior Citizen: The Springville-Mapleton Senior Citizens will discuss the topic, "The Apple of My Eye," following lunch on Friday, May 4. This is an example of American language which uses fruit, vegetables, weather and animals to describe human characterestics and emotions. The topic was taken from a birthday card which Boyd Nelson bought for his son. While many of these terms are complimentary others have proved insulting to senior citizens who object to being called "old goats," "old hens," "dog tired" or being "stubborn as a mule." Senior citizens will be introduced to many of these language freaks for the purposes of understanding meanings and for reactions to them. Can a person make a hog of himself, have a beef with his neighbor or try to weasel out of some responsibility? Are some people bull headed, sheepish, or dumb as oxes? Can a human have a sour puss, cherry lips, crows feet, or try to make a purse out of a sow's ear? From the discussion it is hoped to gain understanding of difficulties in learning our language and to better be able to communicate with others. Each Friday is a busy day at the Senior Citizen Center. Quilters, under the leadership of Bernice Cranmer, usually start their activities ac-tivities by 8 a.m. There are men at the pool tables usually by 10 a.m., and shuffle board games are usually activated by 11 a.m. By 9:30 a.m. the phone starts jingling for mini-bus rides to the center, and by 10 a.m. there is usually someone enjoying reading or watching TV in the lounge area. The aerobics class for senior citizens precedes Friday's lunch from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. At 11 : 15 a.m., Merrill Christiansen with his electric guitar will play and sing. Reta Hadlock plays the piano. Several couples dance to the music, and many hum along with the tunes. A highlight last week's activities was the reviewing of Merle Whiting's scrapbook for 1984. Merle is historian for the senior citizens, and the scrapbook was displayed on the stage. It contained clippings from the Springville Herald and other papers of golden weddings, 80th birthday receptions, some deaths and happenings about senior citizens. It displayed articles of happenings at the senior citizen center and souvenirs of tours. It is truly an exciting work of art. Last Friday the stage decorations consisted of a pot of lilies provided by Frank Taylor and a pot of chrysanthimums provided by Donna Hutchings. Paintings by the art class and Inez Chader adorned the entire east wall. Odessa Nelson announced a schedule of tours, and director Thomas announced a pot luck dinner and dance for the evening of May 4. An unusually large group participated par-ticipated in last Friday's discussion on the topic of dreams. Theda Child brought a "Dream Book" which had influenced the lives of people she knew. Boyd Nelson, while claiming that dreams influenced the lives of all people, placed the value of many dream interpretations into the same category as horoscopes, and Chinese fortune cookies. The menu for Friday is: pork cutlet, whipped potatoes, gravy, peas and mushrooms, whole wheat roll, orange cake and milk. 'The Safety (ids' tonight 7 p.m. SHS gym The Brookside School invites all parents and children in Springville to attend their spring program, 'The Safety Kids'. It is being held tonight, May 2, at 7 p.m. in the Springville High School Gym. Protecting children from kidnap, sexual abuse, and assault is the number one goal of The Safety Kids, a collection of entertaining, singable tunes and dialogue introduced by lovable Safety Kids characters and written by nationally acclaimed composer of children's music Janeen Brady. While similar products may use scare tactics and sinister characters. charac-ters. The Safety Kids uses an upbeat approach and special school materials like posters, dialogue books, and accompanying cassettes, which has made it very popular with school and PTA-PTO organizations. "This music helps prepare children to act correctly in threatening situations rather than not act because theyare confused or frightened," says Mrs. Brady. Elementary schools in sucn diverse areas as Pennsylvania and California have introduced The Safety Kids as part of a curriculum for teaching personal safety to children. Police officers, too, have found it an invaluable aid as they present programs and seminars on personal safety. Success stories of how this program has helped the communities where it has been introduced are coming in every day, Mrs. Brady reports. "This is an exciting new tool in the important work of preventing children from becoming victims of sexual assault, kidnap, or abuse," says one expert who has been treating child victims for more than 10 years-Thomas G. Harrison, formerly coordinator for and now consultant to the Child Sexual Abuse Program at Primary Children's Medical Center in Utah. He gives The Safety Kids high praise, saying, "I wish I'd had The Safety Kids years ago. It could have prevented hundreds of tragedies." Dr. Alvin Price, a leading child psychologist and a consultant to the National Head Start Program, U. S. Off'e of Education, calls The Safety Kids "a remarkably effective prevention tool that should be in every home where there are children." Janeen Brady, creator of The Safety Kids, firmly agrees. Her primary objective is to see The Safety Kids in each home in the country, with back-up in the schools. Both Price and Harrison applaud the way The Safety Kids uses sing-along sing-along songs and act-out situations to help children memorize safety rules. Mrs. Brady explains: "Children love to sing happy songs with catchy tunes and lyrics." Building on this philosophy, she has created a collection of delightful songs that describe effective methqds for children to safeguard themselves and explain what to do in various situations. "For example, I've seen two-year-olds memorize their telephone numbers after one time through "The Telephone Song"' "The Togetherness Kids" is a song about the buddy system. "Look for a Grandma or Mother with Children" directs children toward safe adults when they are lost. "Sometimes You Just Gotta Yell and Scream" lets children know that there are critical times to let people know you're in trouble and what you can do-in particular scream "This isn't my daddy (or mommy)!" "The Safety Don'ts" and other songs help kids learn other basic preventive rules. Mrs. Brady interrupted her work on another ongoing music series to complete The Safety Kids. "I had to do something about the anger and heartache I feel every time I read about another horrible incident involving some innocent child," she said. Herself the mother of nine, and her young good looks belying the fact that she is the grandmother of eight, Mrs. Brady has published more than 250 songs for children, many of which are currently used in preschools and elementary schools throughout the country. She was the guest this summer of First Lady Nancy Reagan at the White House for The Great American Family Awards Program and accompanied a children's choir performing the theme song, which Mrs. Brady had been commissioned to write. She has also been honored with national awards for her music. In addition to the songs, which are available on cassette tape with full orchestral accompaniment, each Safety Kids set includes a personal safety sing-along coloring book and an official Safety Kids club membership mem-bership card and wall poster listing safety rules. A Safety Kids song book is also available. The Safety Kids is distributed by 1,000 in-home distributors in 45 states, Canada, Australia, Europe, Asia Minor, and the Orient.
