Rampton said he was "sick at heart at the destruction that has been done (by the program.)" and said he could not "condemn too strongly this irresponsible type of journalism." "Utah has one of the finest mental retardation programs In the nation," the Governor said, and "this institution is one of the important parts of that program. It has grown over the past decade - and has come a long way from the time when it was believed that the only kind of care that Could be given the retarded was custodial. We have learned that there are very few of the mentally retarded who cannot learn and be helped by proper treatment and programs." Governor Rampton said the series harmed the training schools' program, noting that an objective at the school has been to convince parents with retarded children that "something can be done for them." "Now in the public mind," he said, "is added the spectar that unfortunate, almost helpless person is going to he abused." He urged those present to increase their efforts to toll a positive story about the training school. The governor then complimented training school superintendent Paul S. Sagers on the programs in operation at the training school and gave the superintendent his support. Mrs. Rampton, an avid supporter of the retarded and efforts to aid them, said the school is a "fine institution with a wonderful director and a splendid staff." She spoke on the changes made since she first visited the school in 1965, and of the support community residents give to the school. Utah State Senator Ernest H. Dean of Amerfcan Fork conducted the one hour and forty minute meeting, calling some 20 individuals from the audience to speak briefly. Senator Dean referred to the "unfortunate publicity," adding "all is not well at Channel 2 as you made your presentation." Senator Dean was introduced by Superintendent Sagers as "the anchorman" of I the presentation, which originally had been scheduled as a short groundbreaking program for the adventure and learning park. Frank Lay, state AFL - CIO president, said he has had poor experience in the past with Channel 2. "They have been less than objective," he said. He added that he didn't know what the truth is about the training school charges. Maurice Warshaw called the school "one of the best institutions in the country." He spoke against those "who find out little wrongs that happen in our business or any other business or any institution. It's so wrong. It can hurt us so badly because people like to gossip. We must explain the great work that is being done here," he concluded. Elaine Sharp, executive director of the Mental Retardation Association of Utah, referred to the "appalling and irresponsi- ble way the series was handled," calling it a "hucksters approach, a commercial gimmick to get people to listen." She said hundreds of supportive calls have come to her office from parents and other friends of the training school, and said MRAU feels the "Standards at the Utah State Training School are un- matched in the state and the nation." Mrs. Sharp said parents of the residents appreciate the trained and dedicated way training schoo attendants and other staff members serve the retarded and feel they (Continued on : 8 a & & jg S back page) AV.'.W.V.V.', 1 ji; 4 |
