Show 10 SPRINGVILLE H E R A L D Thursday, September 28, 2006 Lowlschools need reading tutors now What would your life be like if you didn't read? There IS a way you can thank your teacher for mastering this crucial skill. Dozens of local school children will progress better if they practice with an adult. If you volunteer one or more hours a week, you can greatly raise the success suc-cess probability of at least one more child. Although Chet (not his real name) likes to golf and travel, trav-el, he takes out two hours every ev-ery week to help kids read. I asked him why he did it and he said he felt he was helping someone do something very important in his life. Chet may not get thanks from the kidsr but he knows they are gaining valuable sk ills for a lifetime. Our thanks go out to the "diets" who are helping our kids learn to read. When our children learn to read, they learn that English came from many languages and has many spelling forms. They need to know the regular regu-lar phonic sounds, then add to that words that don't follow - the rules. Tutorsare needed to help direct the learning of any students who may be struggling with reading. Call Norman Smith at 798-1609 798-1609 for opportunities or your neighborhood school. Glass artistry and puppets at the Art Museum for Community and Family Night Monday The Springville Museum of Art will host Community and Family Night on Monday, Oct. 2, at 6 p.m. Citizens are invited to bring their families to the museum for a free night of learning, enter--tainment, art and fun. Guest artist will be Ray Grover who will discuss glass artistry. Puppeteers, Max Out Puppetry, will perform some special numbers, num-bers, and then children will have the opportunity to create their own art during the children's art project portion of the evening. Grover, a local glass sculptor, will give a presentation on his artwork. At three days old, his mother promised God, "If you spare his life he will do great things." "God's touch and Grace are evident in my life and art. I am the fourth of ten children from Springville," said Grover. He has enjoyed a number of occupations, occupa-tions, from landscaping to loan officer. About 15 years ago, he found himself 'dropping glasses' for a display case manufacturer. Daily, he marveled at the beauty of the glass. Soon after, he started bringing bring-ing home pieces of scrap to play with. Grover describes his first sculptures as "...quite interesting to say the least, mainly square blocks, and oddly shaped pyramids pyra-mids haphazardly adhered with hot glue and packing tape." "I could not tell you when I first considered myself a sculptor. sculp-tor. God moves my hands, lifts me to transcend previous insurmountable insur-mountable obstacles, ever refin- Shop Dave's Bernina's ing my work and passion for the glass." The past 14 years spent honing hon-ing his craft is evident in every sculpture. Grover and his wife are developing a furniture line with Elegant Essentials, an accessories ac-cessories and home decor line.

By trademark, he creates sculptures using only-recycled glass: 150- year-old bank teller partitions, computer screens (lead crystal), empty liquor bottles, bot-tles, antique beveled chandelier glass set free from its confines to be born again, and scraps from local glass and door manufacturers. manufactur-ers. By grace some of the most beautiful glass makes its way to him from one place or another. "The diversity never ceases to amaze me." said Grover. The uniqueness and rarity of his work always keeps him com-' ing back for more. Acquiring the right tools for the right job including homemade squares, modified glasscutters, our waterbed converted into a cutting table, the right adhesive, ultraviolet light from the sun and all the glass he caq get his hands on. Stacking for volume - a cold process - is what he does. Only a handful of sculptors utilize this process. Max Out Puppetry returns to the museum as special guest entertainers. They will perform numbers cre ated for the enjoyment of children of all ages. Puppet lovers from all over Utah have formed this exciting group. Pup- I ?! JLJh , 1 $1 A I !
