More than 1,200 children, teachers and officials offi-cials of the Alpine School District attended the ceremony. ceremo-ny. Melvin Beckstrand, principal of Sharon School, acted as chairman of the event, and ceremonies were opened by C.N. Gammon, president of the school board, who offered the invocation. The actual laying of the cornerstone was performed by Victor C. Anderson, Alpine School Board member, assisted by Glen Healy, brick contractor for the new structure. A copper vault was sealed inside the concrete facing, containing the names of all the children present from the schools in the Orem area. Also contained in the 1948 time capsule were books, letters, photographs and newspapers from 1948. Thorit C Hebertson was named principal of the new Geneva Elementary School, which held classes for the first time during the 1949-50 school year. Since the opening of the Geneva School, a project of the faculty and PTA has been the acquisition of a collection col-lection of fine art, which lines the halls and corridors of the building. The education program for exceptional children of the Orem area has been conducted at Geneva School since 1957. At the cornerstone ceremony in 1948, it was announced that the cornerstone time capsule would be opened in 1988 at the Geneva School's 40th anniversary party. However, it was not until time of the school's birthday birth-day party in 1908 that school officials became aware of the time capsule, which had been sealed up in 1948. Wayne Crabb, Geneva School principal at that time, said, "After searching for the capsule for almost three years, we finally located it in 1991, when we were reminded that in 1948,the school building's front was located on the west side. Until then, we had looked every here and couldn't find it." Finally, near the end of the school year on April 23, 1991, hundreds of students at Geneva Elementary School, joined by people with long-time ties to the school, were on hand to celebrate the opening of the 43-year-old time capsule and rededicate a new one, scheduled to be opened in 2034. Hoping to inform their children and grandchildren more about what life was like in 1901, twenty-five students, stu-dents, representing each class at Geneva School, submitted sub-mitted items prepared by their respective classes for inclusion in the new time capsule. Included were mug pictures of student? on shirts, audio tapes containing music, hopes for future peace illustrated by articles on Operation Desert Storm, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle reading book, a "Geneva Kid" T-shirt, and a message of hope for a drug-free future. One of those attending the 1991 Geneva Time Capsule Celebration was Lt. Fran Fillmore of the Orem Department of Public Safety. He was emotionally moved to see Ms childish signature written with many others, then 42 years of age, and buried in the copper box, along with school books, reports, photos and a copy of that week's issue of the Orem -Geneva Times. Geneva Elementary School's first principal, Thorit C. Hebertson, retired from that post many years ago, and be has been succeeded by many worthy successors. Janette Strong is serving as Geneva School Principal, today, with a capable faculty of 36 teachers. Geneva students, enrolled today, number 590, some of whom are the great grandchildren of students who attended Geneva Elementary School back in 1949, To make sure that 190 lg Geneva School Time Capsule is not forgotten, in 1901 Principal Wayne Crabb appointed three sixth-grade students to took after the marker. It is also their responsibility to dig up the capsule, cap-sule, when the school is closed. "I think they w21 take that assignment pretty seri-&s!r. seri-&s!r. And I hope that they will come find me in 43 years, so I can be a speaker at the next time capsule celebration, celebra-tion, said Crabb.

Banda Aceh was their goal. Complicating their mission mis-sion was the fact that Indonesia has been fighting fight-ing a resilient separatist movement in the province of Aceh for three decades. Since a cease-fire had broke down between the government and the rebels, two years ago, the Indonesian military has controlled Aceh, and the outside world has been kept out. Indonesian President Yudhoyono had instructed that all foreign relief operations oper-ations on the ground be escorted by Indonesian troops. Thus, after landing in Indonesia, for three days, the three Utah County women were still trying to reach their destination Banda Aceh. Traveling with them was KSL Newsradio's Russ Hill. On Jan. 16th, the three women attended church in a two-story old home, which had been converted into a primitive LDS Church house in Medan. Other Utah relief workers also attended the services, and eight Medan residents were dressed in white, preparing to be baptized The Indonesian LDS Mission President, Dean Jensen, from Arizona, had just returned from Banda Aceh and reported, The devastation is unspeakable." Two days later, after taking eight hours to work through government paper work, the Mothers Without Borders group finally arrived in Banda Aceh to experience the reality of that fact for themselves. - Contractors - Handyman Welders - CkWaW M-uW-Cut Saw 14 S-aw fi Hmnm - Cam tnV 11 ea as MCTADTOrl: 181 SoJh 1200 East Lei ivye Hojry M-f 5 SATOON WHETHER YOU HAVE A LITTLE OR A LOT OF WEIGHT TO LOSE...

Nothing they had previously previ-ously experienced in Zambia. Africa, on earlier expeditions, had prepared them for the scope of the tens-of-thousands of children chil-dren they found, alone, with no parents, no family at all. After a week of working to comprehend the enormity enormi-ty of the challenges facing relief agencies in Banda Aceh, they were scheduled to conclude their monumental monu-mental task and return to Utah on January 25 and advise relief agencies of their findings. Kathy Headlee was working in the orphanages of Romania, when she was fir-it confronted with the devastating results of children chil-dren raised without nurturing, nur-turing, without encouraging encourag-ing from caring adults, without hope. She adopted her youngest daughter from an orphanage in Romania in 1936. Kathy has been involved with relief and community service work for more than fifteen years. Her work has included volunteer expeditions expedi-tions to orphanages and communities throughout the w orld. As she communicated the needs of these children to others, men and women around the world responded by offering their time, talents tal-ents and resources to alleviate allevi-ate the suffering of these often forgotten children. Mothers Without Borders was officially formed as a 501 c3 corporation corpora-tion in 2000, after more than 10 years of work with orphaned and vulnerable children.
