Show Breaking the cycle of spouse abuse .' Spouse abuse who are the victims, vic-tims, who are the perpetrators, how can we make the suffering stop? Is there a way to stop domestic violence before it starts? These are the questions Robert Adkins, Summit Sum-mit County Attorney, posed to the staff of The Counseling Institute Wednesday at his of f ice in Coalville. Though domestic violence is an age old problem, it is something that civilized societies can no longer tolerate. The increase in the number of domestic violence incidents reported to law enforcement agencies agen-cies in Summit County have increased increas-ed at an alarming rate. Scouting f or food a good turn Studies indicate that more than 20 million Americans, including 4 million children, go hungry at some time every month; these studies reveal, also that there are more hungry people in America now than at any time in the last 25 years. Between 1983 and 1985, the average number of households seeking seek-ing emergency food increased by almost 40 percent. Seventy percent of those seeking help were families with children. Prolonged hunger causes more than just discomfort. Malnutrition can lead to permanent tissue damage and leaves its sufferers suf-ferers particularly children and the elderly susceptible to illness and infection. Hunger is a problem we can do something about by working together. Scouting for Pood is a starting star-ting point. It is an example of our long standing commitment to community com-munity service. The Boy Scouts of America National Na-tional Good Turn for 1990 will be the collection of nonperishable food. We anticipate that this will result in the largest donation and collection of foodstuffs ever experienced in the United States. Through this project, the BSA will help meet the needs of the hungry directly, as well as expose ex-pose its members, particularly youth, to the highest ideals of the Scouting movement through a practical prac-tical and dramatic experience in the principle of the daily Good Turn. The 1988 and 1989 Scouting for Food Good Turns resulted in the collection of a combmed' tb&iof m million tans bf tnnif ,5' bfilwJ ?i-jc l&iaut i jilt The BSA's Voe is to organize the ' food collection and make arrangements ar-rangements with legitimate community com-munity distribution agencies that will warehouse and distribute the food to the needy at no cost. The emphasis em-phasis is on nonperishable food most needed for nutrition, such as peanut butter, baby formula, complete packaged meals, and such canned goods as tuna, chunky soups, stews, meats, fruits, and vegetables. Most of the 407 local BSA councils will conduct appeals beginning on November 10, 1990, when BSA youth members will start door-to-door distribution of food collection bags. Then, on November 17, 1990, at 9 a.m., BSA members will begin collection col-lection of filled bags. Donated food will be sorted and boxed at collection centers. It will then be distributed to or picked up by legitimate distribution distribu-tion agencies who will make the food available to, the needy in the home communities. Some councils will conduct their effort on another date to meet local food bank needs. The Boy Scouts of America Good Turn traces back to American Businessman William D. Boyce. He was lost in a London fog, and a boy offered to take Boyce to the address he wanted and then refused a tip, saying he was a Boy Scout. Boyce's curiosity was aroused. He later had. the youth take him to Scouting's British founder, Lord Baden-Powell. From this chance meeting, the Boy Scouts of America was born. As a result, the Good Turn has been a cor-nerstone cor-nerstone of Scouting's citizenship and character-building efforts. - Promotion of a safe and sane Fourth of July in 1912 was the first national Scout Good Turn. Scores of others have followed. The most recent re-cent was a 1986 effort to inform persons per-sons of the need for donated human organs and tissue. Your question may be, "What is spouse abuse?" Spouse abuse is defined as an act of violence committed com-mitted against one person by another adult member of the same household. The abuse can be physical or mental and usually is both. Attacks often begin as verbal abuse and threats, and usually escalate into severe beatings, rape and even murder. The parties in-. volved are usually married couples, but can be simply cohabitants of the same household. A series of articles on spouse abuse and how to deal with it will be forthcoming in this publication. However, if you find yourself in a violent situation, dial 911 for help. Council creates award for employee service The City Council recently approved an employee award to be known as the "Customer Service Excellence Award." It is an award of recognition that will be presented on a quarterly basis by the Mayor to the employee who has most exemplified excellence in customer relations. According to Bob Stephens, city personnel director, "The award works best when we receive written accolades from members of the public who want to recognize an employee's customer relations skills." Employees may be nominated be fellow employees, management, elected officials, citizens or guests of Park City. Nominations need to be in writing, spelling out the circumstances where the employee went the extra mile. "We have the desire to promote the highest of customer service skills among our employees," said Stephens, "and we feel that recognition of our employees, particularly by the citizens of Park City, will go a long way toward achieving this goal." Parkites are encouraged to drop a note to City Hall when they have noticed a city employee who has been especially helpful or friendly and polite. Such a note will nominate the employee for an added "thank you" through this program, The first award will be presented at the city's annual Christmas party.
