Show Page A2 Monday, November 24, 1980 FROM THE FRONT PAGE Property Taxes Up 9 (Continued from Front Page) this time last year," said UTA. "Property taxes are now the second largest money producer in the state; only state and local sales taxes bring in more. "The 1980 average overall levy is 67.80 mills, or $67.80 in property taxes for each $1,000 of assessed valuations. On a $60,000 home assessed at 20 percent, this year's tax would amount to $814. The 1979 average tax rate was 65.14 mills, or $782 on the same average home. Therefore, this years total average property tax increase amounts to $32. The Workshop Way (Continued from Front Page) negativism. She emphasizes that "the .workshop way" is right now in pilot stages. The feedback appears to be very positive so far, said Beck. "But people often make judgements before they understand something thoroughly. It's a humanism approach to learning, that's all." Mrs. Rosenbaum reports that she's had parental reaction from very positive to very negative. "Some children aren't taking their responsibility very well, and the parents get a little upset. But then the others are so supportive - they think it's great." "There are things a child needs," adds Mrs. Beck, "such as security, and peace of mind. We are trying to help them reach themselves without fear of failure. One aspect, the "risk sheet" encourages the child to try something he doesn't know. It teachers courage, and the value of following directions." Some "workshop" critics have called the teaching process a "parrot like" process, and fear children will become like robots after years of exposure to the intensive eye-to-eye contact teaching. Mrs. Beck was surprised to hear these criticisms. "I really think it's doing just the opposite. Rather than making robots of children, it's teaching them to think and act for themselves, without fear." The Workshop Way is currently being used in most of the elementary schools throughout the district. Some teachers use more parts of the program than others. Many have been exposed to aspects of the program without even realizing it In Idaho and California, according to Mrs. Beck, the results of the program have been good. If it is successful in the elementary grades, she hopes to introduce it into the higher levels in Alpine District. Chief Ferre Discusses Crime Prevention (Continued from Front Page) The chief said that an increase in crime is a reflection of many things such as failure of the family, failure of the schools, failure of the criminal justice system, judge, probation, prosecutors, correction and the increase in population. Chief Ferre said that every citizen has the responsibility to see that the laws are enforced. He concluded by saying that the public cannot be saved by the police department, but by working together with the police department, we can make the community much safer. Speed Myth Disproved In an expernt according ac-cording to tlV SA Financial Corporation, two identical cars made a competitive trip Covering 1000 miles. One driver was told to make the best speed possible. The other driver was told to avoid all unnecessary risks, and move only as traffic flow permitted. Both cars were fitted with instruments to record all actions which took place. Results of the experiment were: The "speedster" made the trip in 20 hours and 12 minutes. He passed 2,000 cars. He used his brakes 1,339 times. He used an extra 10 gallons of gas. The "slow" driver made the trip in 20 hours and 43 minutes. He passed 13 cars. He used his brakes 652 times. The "fast" driver saved 31 minutes on the trip. This amounts to about one and one-half minutes per hour. Was it worth it? The U.S. has more of its 15 to 18 year olds enrolled in school than any other country in the world. Eighty percent of this age group are graduated from high schools, compared to England's 20 percent and Italy's 16 percent. m VOW" ttfc Fresh Pine Nuts 49 QJ) lb.
