Show SPRINGVILLE HERALD Thursday, April 15, 2004 J? j; " IHi' This bird cage crossed the plains with pioneer Hannah Daley Wood and is now on display at the Springville Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum. From the PUP Museum A bird cage travels the plains by Mary Murray LeBeau The graceful lines of an old fashioned bird cage sits high on a shelf in the southwest corner of the Springville Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum. The name of the owner was Hannah Daley Wood, and I felt she was one of those who came later to Utah or perhaps the gift made in her later years. I just could not think of a bird cage taking up space in the precious space of a covered wagon. But everything every-thing I read tells me that this little lit-tle touch of the culture of the fabled fa-bled East Coast was in the promised valley before 1850. 1 cannot find what kind of bird lived in this cage. Hannah was a member of a family that moved West very early in the exodus. She was the wife of Gideon Durphy Wood and that part of the family arrived ar-rived in the Salt Lake Valley before be-fore the birth of Gideon Jr. in Salt Lake City, March 21, 1849, and the last child in the family. A daughter, Emma Hannah, was born May 21, 1851. Emma Hannah married George M.

Hannah's father John Daley died and was buried in Nauvoo in 1841. 1 am unsure of the fate of her mother, Elizabeth, but she may have died in Utah as she lived until January 1850. Hannah's younger sister, Abigail Abi-gail Jane, was the first wife I have found for Milo Andrus, but the wagon train led by Andrus An-drus did not leave Winter Quarters Quar-ters until 1850. It is quite possible possi-ble that this is the final resting place for Elizabeth, Hannah was blessed to have a sister, Hilea, who married Isaac Nelson and brother, Moses Judson Daley, who was married to Harriet F. Harris. They lived near her in this area and all are resting in the local cemetery. I have no idea what kind of bird lived in this cage but I hope before she died April 16, 1871, Hannah Daley Wood lived in a house wit h a sunny east window win-dow in which to hang this graceful bird cage. j L V ! 'ear Dr. Dear Dr. Lillian: Question: My step-dad bosses me and my sister and my mom. Who made him the boss? He's not even my dad. I'm just a kid and had no vote about him becoming be-coming my dad. Answer: Yes, it is true: Your step-dad is not your biological dad. Two other things are true as well: First, your mother chose him as a husband for herself her-self and as a new father for her children; second, your step-dad chose your mother, you, and your sister and in that choice committed to provide, care, and love all of you to the best of his ability. You feel as if you had no choice or say in the matter, but this feeling does not serve you well, because by this thought, you place yourself in the role of being the helpless victim. There's no power or self-esteem in that. What would happen if instead you thought that there is a reason rea-son why your step-dad has come into your life? If you thought that he has entered into your life to benefit your growth? What would happen if you allowed yourself to accept what he can give and teach you by his choices in life, in work, and in relationships? With this outlook, your step-dad step-dad becomes a new parent who, by his example, can show you one more way to live life, thus expanding your awareness and choices. Young as you are, it is time to accept the fact that every choice you make with regard to your step-dad is your responsibility responsi-bility now. If you choose a "no- tf8 jjrmmmu'i4it "k I - maim I I IWltlll Cbc: We do Investment Property & Commercial Loans too. Lillian body wins" attitude, then you also will not win. If you choose an "everybody "every-body wins" attitude, then your step-dad is very likely to relax and be less defensive defen-sive and I. 4 bossy. Give yourself and your new family a chance. Dear Dr. Lillian: Question: I have always prided prid-ed myself in being a successful teacher. But I do have one headache I just can't seem to solve. I have a student who is sneaky. She doesn't act out in class; her mischief is hidden. She hurts others by her words when nobody's looking. This student's dad thinks he knows it all and has a disrespectful disre-spectful attitude towards teachers teach-ers and other people's children. Nothing is ever his or his daughter's daugh-ter's fault. It's always somebody some-body else's. Lately, the encounters encoun-ters have become quite tense and I feel downright harassed. Is there any way to make this work without getting walked on by the parent or allowing the student to get away with not being accountable for her actions? ac-tions? Answer: I'd like to answer your question in a roundabout way: Obviously, this parent and child believe it is acceptable to verbally abuse others and to receive re-ceive no correction in return. avm wwim&vv?.. i J - !

Their future correction will occur oc-cur as they repeat their behavior behav-ior patterns in their encounters with others. Life will take care of this. The understanding that anyone any-one could be the vehicle for teaching this parent and child, cleanses you of the negative and stressed emotions you have accumulated because you thought it was all for you to do. With this new understanding you are now positioned to act with detachment: Let the recent injustice be, while you first build a positive relationship with the father. Call him two or three times and tell him of the good things his daughter does. Tell him what a good parent he must be to have raised such a good, smart child. Then, a few days later, call him and tell him how surprised you are at his daughter's recent misbehavior. Ask the father if he could help you to guide her. The parent will most likely want to continue being a good parent and will support you! Now you can both work together to-gether to benefit the child. Dear Dr. Lillian: Question: Can you talk about autistic children and how parents par-ents can learn to understand what these children really need? What can these children teach us? Answer: Yours is a very important im-portant question because research re-search indicates that in the last 15 years there has been a 900 increase in autism with anywhere any-where from every 1 in 150 to 1 in 500 children affected and with 4 out of 5 autistic children being male. Autism has been variedly defined de-fined as a neurological or bio ? aj i :.; ( ';- ; v v ' n h :t ' j J , P 1 H f, f- t u r t ji v jt hi e f ( w SSrft.

Autistic children and adults have difficulties diffi-culties with expressing and receiving re-ceiving communication, with sensory responses and socialization. socializa-tion. Autism usually sets in between be-tween 16 months and 2 years of age. One approach that has been found helpful for some autistic children is to train the ear as the conductor to the nervous system sys-tem and body. Because the autistic child is disconnected from self and therefore from others and because communication communica-tion is all about connecting, enhancing en-hancing listening ability has helped some autistic children to integrate their senses and inner world and thus to awaken a sense of self (see www.toma-tis.com). www.toma-tis.com). What can autistic children teach their parents? To love with a love that is unaffected by expectation, demands, rewards, or cause and effect. To give all while expecting nothing in return. re-turn. To persevere until they find the most useful type of treatment for their child, because be-cause every autistic child has a unique combination of needs and abilities (for example, 1 in 10 autistic children and adults have an unusually high ability in art, music, calculation, computers, comput-ers, and memory). What can autistic children teach society? Non-judgment, non-resentment, non-rigidity, non-blaming, in other words: unconditional love. What can autistic children teach us? To listen to our inner self. To love the self in others as our own self. To connect without with-out words and know all selves as one.
