Cascade students launch Cape Town Connection By Jeanne Thayne City Editor Cascade Elementary students are collecting funds to assist a very poor black elementary school in the township of New Crossroads, near Cape Town, South Africa, purchase badly needed books and supplies. The project is part of World Citizenship Week, Dec. 6-11, declared in a proclamation by Mayor Stella Welsh. Mayor Welsh was present at ' the school Monday to help launch the project and to commend the students on their worldwide interest. in-terest. Under the leadership of Deon Ruf, Cape Town Connections Advisor Ad-visor at Cascade, the students Geneva Geneva Steel announced today that an equipment failure will temporarily interrupt operation opera-tion of one of its two operating blast furnaces. The equipment failure, which occurred on November 29, involved the fracture of a 38-foot long steel rod used in controlling the flow of raw materials into the blast furnace. fur-nace. Iron ore, coke and limestone are smelted in a blast furnace to make molten iron. No injuries resulted from the incident. The company is making preparations to startup its third blast furnace, which is currently Helping your child Succeed in school by Lily Eskelsen, president Utah Education Association I was so mad I could have smoked a pickle! It was one, maybe two years ago. The exact offense, I cannot recall. All I remember is the anger. My end of the conversation was completely rational. It went something like, 'We've told you and told you and told you . . . Don't you ever let me catch you ... Of all the dumb . . . You never stop to think . . . How many times have I told you?" ; My intention was to smash every feeble excuse he tried to serve up. I had to make him appreciate ap-preciate the enormity of whatever it was that had so upset me. (It was so awful, I really wish I could remember what it was.) I waited to see remorse and guilt in his face. But what I saw was a clenched jaw, narrow eyes and an uncharacteristic sneer. The boy was simply not picking up on. my apparently too-subtle message. We squared off. I clenched my jaw, narrowed my eyes and sneered. have learned much about South Africa and about the black township school in particular. Members of the Cascade school's Cape Town Connection, with Devin Williams as president, presi-dent, visited the Orem City Council Coun-cil recently to request the council declare World Citizenship Week for Orem City and to adopt the black township as a sister city. They also attended a board meeting meet-ing of Alpine School District to present information on Cape Town Connection. . The purpose is to encourage peaceful relations worldwide and responsible world citizenship. The students have exchanged pen pal letters with the township and last year with the help of PTA and Scholastic Book company, sent Steel blast furnace undergoes idled. The third blast furnace will be used to replace production from the damaged furnace until it is restarted. Startup of the third furnace is expected to be completed com-pleted in approximately three weeks. In addition, the company is taking several steps to minimize the impact of the equipment failure on production, including rolling slabs and ingots from inventory, increasing production in the currently cur-rently operating blast furnace, and increasing Q-BOP scrap melting. As a result of the interruption, the company presently estimates Before I could release another verbal punch, my husband-the man who says he's just no good with kids, flat beside our son and put his arm around him. "I just -don't understand why you did this. I'm disappointed." Jeremy looked up at him with tears in his eyes. T don't know why either. I know it was wrong, and I'm sorry." I, the woman who thought she was so good with kids, stood there totally confused, wondering what had happened. When we .lose control, our children are given the opportunity to become the injured party. When disciplining a child, stay in control.

They are continuing the effort ef-fort this year and have sold treats after school to help raise funds. Three years ago, Mrs. Ruf with her husband, visited South Africa. She had read a magazine article about the black township school near Cape town and visited it while she was there. While there she became, friends with the South African principal of the school and they talked about starting a partnership partner-ship between the schools. As a result, students on both sides of the world have learned a great deal about each other. Cape Town Connections was organized as a club for fourth graders last year.

Only they just spend millions instead of billions! First the council bonds for a new sewage system with out getting voter approval! I guess they think that because the Federal Government Govern-ment tells us to jump, we have to jump. I say lets leave that decision up to the people! Up we don't want to jump. Just like our forefathers who had held a tea party because they got tired of putting up with King George. We have a right to say no. Next they -flan, on building a park by a sewage plantThen they-try .and convince us that the trees and " bushes will "shield the smell" and the cost is only $450 thousand. Ill be they would also like to sell us some ocean-front property in Arizona. The City must be desperate to find a place to build a park when they have to build it next to a sewage plant. Can you think of a worse place to build a park? Next the City plans to spend $4.5 million on the new children's section of the library and then have the guts to. tell us that they are trimming costs by $1 million? They sound so much like our other big brother that I can't hardly tell them apart. I have yet to see the library with a few people in it let alone full. If we don't need one thingit is to spend " more money on a new section of visited the club members at Cascade Cas-cade and told them what it was like growing up in South Africa. Paulo Zandemela told the students stu-dents that when he got sick he had to share a hospital bed with a TB patient. Monday, the students presented pre-sented an assembly to promote a fundraising project. An African folk tale was acted out, videos taken by Rufs during their visit were shown, African music was played and art work and pen pal letters were exhibited.

The cost of repairing the damaged furnace and startup of the third furnace is expected to be approximately $1 million. Editor City money the library. I have never seen a library that was filled to capacity and the Orem Library is no exception. excep-tion. Next they are going to follow the gangs around and repair what they destroy. Do they really think they can keep up with all of the gangs and their graffiti? If the City is having difficulty finding ways to spend our money, I would like to suggest we spend it on building a new jail. That we send out a strong message to gangs that if they are caught putting on graffiti that they are going to jail and that they are going to repair the graffiti. We need to take an offensive move instead of a defensive defen-sive move which is what other cities have take in controlling gangs and gang related crime. We need to build a jail that is big enough to hold everyone that breaks the law. We need to control con-trol it and make it a place that . criminals don't want to be. We ' need to send out a very strong1' message to gangs. They need to know up front that the City of Orem doesn't put up with crime in anyway, shape or form. Now is the time to take decisive action. Now that the City has $5 million to blow, lets build something that will really make Orem a better place to live and raise our children. Dwight J.

The heart that hides behind a set of locks Retreats to where nobody ever talks, Or cogitates in unabashed delight.
