Youth Basket Mailing continued from pagol hop One Person's Junk Is Another Person's Treasure Do you ever see in Park ;; City a gal wearing five hats? Deanna Burdick is such a gal. You can see this active person in various roles everyday. Not only does she don the scarf of housewife, the knitcap of the mother of preschool toddlers playing at the part, but also she caps this off with a partnership in a main street business. . So often it is said that a wife's job is like a toy. It is done to keep her from being bored, or to fill in her day. If she does not make as much money as her husband, then the job is not; as valuable. This is a myth that Deanna has tried to dispell. Operating Operat-ing a store that is providing used goods at a reasonable price and filling the needs of the community as well, is not a toy at all. , Her business philosophy is to provide bargains, nice; pieces, funky junk and interesting paraphernalia , with a rapid inventory , turnover made possible by buying at low prices, selling at low prices and not necessarily getting the highest high-est prices the traffic will allow. The pleasure of finding useful items for others, combined with the fun of being able to browse make it like a treasure hunt. "When a customer is able to find a $100 plate and buy it for $2, that is a happy customer that returns a ,dozen times." ,: Her philosophy has been greatly influenced' by the-Hopi the-Hopi Indians. Deanna lived and worked asr a riurseonjthe" Hopi reservation in Arizona ' for-2"years, and this experience has had a profound pro-found effect on her Ufa When dealing with a piece of merchandise, the Hopi Indians say, "It is a beautiful piece. I like it, but if I can not afford it, I will come back when I can." Another philosophy she draws from the Hopis is the pleasure of recycling one's excessive accumulations. Once a year, the Hopis get together and have a "swap," but instead of selling their goods they place all extra possessions in a pile, they are then available for anyone who needs them. Being involved with "On The Other Hand" has caused Deanna to change her lifestyle. life-style. It became necessary to set priorities, due to the pressure of time commitments. commit-ments. A partnership ; requires this, especially, if this partnership is with a male. The advantages of having a male partner is the . . different perspective offered and the helping hand in building shelves, dressing rooms, and the other thousand thou-sand things needed to get a shop started. Because she has chosen to go into business with a male other than her husband, some of the difficulties so often encountered with a husband and wife business team are all alleviated. With her husband's enthusiastic support, she has been able to move into this new role while retaining her autonomy. The role of businesswomen has created a new image for Deann'a's daughters. They now see her not only as a mother and homemaker but also as an individual involved involv-ed in other skills that are not limited by her sex role. She has found that the shop has taken more time away from -her family than expected and she feels that her time with the children should be creative and of high quality. Although quality preschool facilities are available in Park City, it is with the toddler age that full time creative day care is needed. Good instruction at an inexpensive care center is not, at this time available to working mothers in this area. Previously tried co-operatives for children under 3 years of age were not effective due to strict Utah State law concerning the " ratio of adults to ' children,' r fire and building codes and other existing rules. 'Federal . subsidy of a day care center is not available. What Deanna feels is needed is a day care center similar to the one she was familar with while living and attending college in Berkeley. Berk-eley. They have a moderately moderate-ly priced day care center affiliated with the Berkeley school system. The facility is supported by Federal grants and a nominal fee based on the mother's ability to pay This is not a school but a structured area for play for small children. The instructors instruc-tors use this for training and employ the best theories and ideas available. In closing, Deanna asserts that day care is one of the most critical issues facing working mothers' in Park City. The entire issue will be explored in this column at a later date. THIS IS what remains of the car Involved in Friday's fatal crash. was released on $2,3)0 bail and is tentatively scheduled to face a preliminary hearing for the 3rd degree felony sometime in January. - Goings Family Jenny's father, Mr. Merten Goings, an air traffic control-' ler, moved his family to Park City from Denver, Colorado in the fall of this year. Besides her parents, Jenny is survived by her brother Robert Rollie of Soda : Springs, Calif., and her two sisters, Pamela Joy of Loveland, Colo., . and Bridget, a student at Marsac Elementary School.

Art Center guest instructor Paulette Ponick, formerly with the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, will conduct the workshop with a two-fold goal: That students learn several specific techniques tech-niques of basketry and leave the workshop with a handcrafted hand-crafted item plus the knowledge know-ledge to make additional baskets and sculpture for gifts. "Basket-making is one art form that people can pursue on their own at a minimal materials cost," said Ms. . Ponick.- The workshop will include both basket-making and basketry -schulpture, and will utilize many materials frequently found around the home such as rope, yam, string, ribbon, decorative i cord, leather stirps, and such added touches as beads and feathers. Although basket-making has been v practiced for centuries, it has only recently been rediscovered and hailed as a contemporary art form.Ms. Ponick added that coiling, the technique used in basketry-sculpture, is closely related to that used . in ceramic sculpture.

Unfortunately, Unfor-tunately, bad behavior is usually contagious. A few years ago, I had occasion to work closely with an individual who usually didn't allow himself to be negatively affected by other people's bad behavior. I guess you could call him his own man. He knew where he stood with people. In talking to him about this,, he explained that he tried to look at the why of behavior and not the what. In other noisy children are involved in inappropriate behavior an idea is to stop and discern the why. Maybe the child is hungry and bored with what he is doing. He may not be feeling well. He may not be receiving enough constructive construc-tive attintion. By discerning the why of a child's behavior, we learn to know our children. (We're also in a better position to make changes that help improve the child's behavior.
