The assessment was necessary in order for the museum to apply for accreditation. "They were all pleasantly surprised (the assessors)," said Museum Director Vern Swanson, "I think they came to Springville expecting to find a little gallery off the side of the local library with a few paintings in it. As they surveyed sur-veyed the large, beautiful building and our impressive collection of Utah, Russian and American Art, they were taken aback." The art museum was recently awarded a Conservation Assessment Program (CAP) grant through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). CAP is a onetime one-time grant funded by IMLS and administered by Heritage Her-itage Preservation. . This grant, as other private and organizational grants the museum receives, provide the main portion of funding fund-ing for the Springville Museum of Art. The professional assessors and conservators spent two days surveying the site, and three days writing comprehensive compre-hensive reports that will identify conservation priorities. The onsite consultation enables the museum to evaluate its current collections care policies, procedures and environmental envi-ronmental conditions. The assessment reports will help the museum make appropriate ap-propriate improvements for the immediate, mid-range and long-range care of the collections and building. Recommendations gained from this assessment will assist as-sist the museum in working toward accreditation. "Accrediation will mean that the museum will be able to host internationally reknown shows with increased publicity," said Natalie Peterson, assistant museum director direc-tor over operations. . The Board of Trustees of the Springville Museum of Art met with the assessors for a brief discussion of the project and to better understand the purpose and impor tance of their visit. The museum staff is anxious to receive the completed assessment report soon, so they can improve the care of what is known as "Utah County's hidden treasure," the Springville Museum of Art. Carey USOE Montierth - Novell Teacher of the Year Carey Montierth, Springville High School business busi-ness teacher, received the NovellUSOE Teacher of the Year Award on September 21,2004. Duke Mossman, the Information Infor-mation Technology Education Educa-tion Specialist at the Utah State Office of Education, presented Montierth with this prestigious award, which consists of a plaque and a check for $500. The award is made possible by the Novell Young Network Net-work Professional (YNP) firogram and is only available or teachers who are teaching teach-ing Novell's Certified Novell Administrator (CNA) curriculum. cur-riculum. Montierth has taught the challenging CNA program at Springville High School for five years. Over the years she has , helped eighteen students earn their CNA certification. CNA certification is the first step towards a Certified Novell Nov-ell Engineer (CNE). Only three Utah students have earned Novell's rigorous CNE certification since the program started in 1997, and two of those three students were Montierth's students from SHS. Montierth sets an excellent example for her students; education ed-ucation doesn't end after high school or college and Montierth works hard so that she can help her students learn the latest in computer technology. In order to teach the Novell CNA program, she has to ... continually upgrade her network net-work knowledge, and she must recertify every time Novell releases a new version of its networking products. The students, faculty and staff of SHS are proud of Ms. Teachers will have to be highly qualified by 2005 The number one educational educa-tional concern of Utah parents par-ents is the quality of teachers in our classrooms, and rightly right-ly so. Research shows that the best way to improve student stu-dent achievement is to improve im-prove teacher quality. Because of the No Child Left Behind law, by the 2005-06 2005-06 school year every teacher must prove that they are "highly qualified" with a major ma-jor or equal qualifications of time and expertise in each subject they teach. Even a minor in a particular subject will not designate a teacher as "highly qualified". Each district in the state is working hard to help each of their teachers become highly qualified. Rural districts have an especially daunting challenge with their secondary sec-ondary teachers, because one teacher often teaches several subjects. Many professional development devel-opment opportunities are being be-ing offered both at the district dis-trict and state levels, and teachers are working harder than ever to become their very best so that they can help our children receive the quality education which we Utahans expect for every child.

Queen Rosabelle and her court donated to museum The Provo Daughters of Utah Pioneers announce an-nounce their first Company meeting to be held in the Eldred Center Lounge at 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 4. This meeting will celebrate t;he DUP Museum's adoption of multiple babies: ba-bies: The Cleo Heavener Doll Collection! A Gus Clark - who has graciously donated this rare collection to the museum - will speak about the amazing dolls And the amazing woman who collected them. Heavenor, who was from Springville, breathed such magic into them that they came to life for thousands and thousands of school children all over the state and nation. They invite all interested parties, whatever your age and circumstances, to join them in this celebration of a woman's life work, as Gus - with the magic which he, himself, so delightfully possesses - opens up the treasury trea-sury of stories and enchanted lore surrounding surround-ing Queen Rosabelle and her royal court. Cleo Heavener, or CP. as she was know, was born in Springville. She began teaching school in Delta and later in Spanish Fork and Ogden. She loved children and books and imagination and fairies and little people. And she brought joy to hundreds of school children chil-dren as she traveled around with her doll, Rosabelle, Queen of Dolls and friend of the fairies. Many folks will remember CP. and Rosabelle. Ros-abelle. The doll visited libraries and school children and reigned over doll parties and festivals all over the country. The Rosabelle collection includes hundreds of newspaper articles about her travels and how she affected affect-ed children. There are also hundreds of letters let-ters to Rosabelle from children everywhere. One such newspaper article tells of Rosabelle Ros-abelle being the guest of honor at a party given by Mrs. George A. Anderson, wife of the mayor of Springville. It said, "Rosabelle has been a contact medium with boys and girls in other cities and countries, even so far away as Japan. Her wardrobe includes some 50 pieces, including a replica of the coronation corona-tion gown worn by Queen Elizabeth She has her own miniature calling cards." "The doll has been the center of attraction at many social functions, a recent one being at Cedar City, where she was crowned queen of a festival in which 500 dolls were displayed." dis-played." At the party given by Anderson, every guest brought a "lucky stone" to build a monument mon-ument to Rosabelle. Another newspaper article talks about Rosabelle meeting Springville's famous sculptor, Cyrus E. Dallin, on her visit to Boston. "As a guest of the Doll Collectors of America, Inc. with headquarters at the Harrison Har-rison Gray Otis house, Queen Rosabelle received re-ceived Mr. Dallin with all the majesty which her position assumes, and he in return, imbued im-bued with that rare sense of make-believe, enjoyed himself in true gentleman fashion to the queen of dolls on display in that old Boston colonial mansion." Rosabelle had a little rainbow autograph book in which famous people from all over the country wrote and a "book of wishes" written by the children. In an article by Garry C. Myers, Ph. D. he said, "Thanks to Doll Rosabelle, and the teacher who still believes in fairies, her children chil-dren read with driving purpose and have their imagination kept alive and cultivated - "AA-- f -Av v. x" i Cleo Pierce Heavener WWW.HARKTHEHERALD.COM CALL 375-5103 TO SUBSCRIBE Rosabelle - Queend of Dolls The doll that went to school one of the finest samples of creative, motivated moti-vated learning I have ever seen." Myers also said that, "The adventures adven-tures of Rosabelle, K by Cleo . fc A Pierce,, , Heaven- -er, make up the ' choicest r ' v volume ' ' X, of creative cre-ative fancy fan-cy since "Alice in He went on to say, "The ex- tradi- nary, creative writing by school children in the intermediate grades, stimulated by this queen of dolls; the response throughout America of fired imagination in outstanding adults who know good literature, interpret it or create it; and the dramatic accounts about Rosabelle in newspapers of widely scattered large cities of the United States - all attest to the fame Rosabelle already has and to the artistic skill of her creator, Cleo Pierce." Quoting from Heavener's book about Rosabelle, Ros-abelle, she said, "I purchased Rosabelle at the Doll House in Portland, Oregon. For three years she just stood on the library shelf and it was a little boy who first discovered that Rosabelle watched the children - the good ones and the bad ones - through the day and talked it over with the fairies at night, telling them to bring good dreams to the good children chil-dren and bad dreams to the bad children." If you knew Rosabelle when you were a child or if your have a child that you would like to tell about Rosabelle, you will want to go and visit her on Monday. xxxj i I |
