Students come from as far north as the Canadian Provinces and as far south as Florida to learn from the nations best trainers in pro- couns ne es 1 third annual summer theater production in conjunction with Strawberry Days festivities. This summer's production will explore story theater - an ensemble approach to presentation which features the entire cast on stage at all times. In this type of theater, cast members generally play several roles, moving between character portrayal, rhythm instrumentation, narration, cultural dance and even animal and inanimate object impersonation. The production is open to all youth ages eight and up and meets Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to noon, June 9 to 18, with matinee performances at 2 and 4 p.m. on June 19and 20. Rehearsals and performances will take place in "Canines...play an integral part ofpolice work." Froehlich Trainer Bill Froehlich, trainer at the Utah Post Canine School, reported that over 100 law enforcement work dogs and partners receive instruction from his school, which is the most regimental in following and achieving the high standards, set for police work. The Utah Post Canine School, in operation for approximately 12 years, draws from the expertise of Bill Froehlich, Bruce Shepherd, and Coordinator, Wendell Nope. Wendell's background is quite extensive, with a strong background in dog psychology and case law. Froehlich continued to explain that many of the dogs come from Czechoslovakia and Germany, Holland and will only respond to commands in their foreign languages. These imported dogs often have excellent work habits and have been raised from parents, with a rich background in police work. Many of their prized attributes include good noses, endurance, and agility, making them excellent for law enforcement. Dogs typically cost over $5,000 and, with the proper training, can be worth more than $20,000. Training at this school is just as important for the trainers as it is for the dogs. This instruction brings the handler and dog together so that they can operate at the same level. They establish a working team that unlocks the potential within each dog.

Peter Kadish, working with and Highland Police Alpine Department, was continuing Zeus's education at the class. Kadish reported that he has been with Zeus, since he was a puppy and Zeus has had extensive training with criminal apprehension and narcotics detection. Zeus has helped in searching for lost kids and also helps develop a link between the police See For departments and the general public, especially children. Froehlich, with the West Valley City Police Department, With regards to the training, Froehlich, suggested, "We want to see the dogs succeed. We try to excite the dogs and make the learning experience a fun one, so that the next time we have a leaning opportunity, he will remember it and look forward to it. Cne of the tricks is to help the dog develop a desire to search and enjoy working with the officer. To the dog, the work is often entertaining. We try to make it a game when training the dog." Froehlich continued, "Canines, I believe, are underutilized and play an integral part of police work.

The only time they are used as weapons is dogs. dogs when the suspect does not follow our instructions and it meets the requirements to turn to the use of force. They are not attack dogs and they are not vicious. They are turned on and off like a light switch. This dog here, after it has been biting the sleeve in apprehension work, can easily be petted and will not bite you afterwards. They live at home and are part of the family. My dog, Cora, had been used for over five years and I take it fishing and camping. Cora was recently retired and still is part of our family." In West Valley, officers, suspects, and citizens have been saved from injury, through the work of canine units. Froehlich noted, "Sometimes a suspect will be more willing to resist arrest and fight four or five officers, but will not be willing to fight when the police service dog is present. We win twice in engaging the suspect and limiting injury to the suspect and the officers. His mere presence dictates the actions of many suspects, limiting injury to both." Dogs are also very effective in canine demonstrations for service groups, schools, and other organizations. Many children leave the demonstrations thinking, "That dog is pretty nice, and we don't have to worry about getting bitten by the dog, as long as we are doing what we should."

I, too, am grieving because of the sexual molestation of my daughter. A male cousin molested her in our home during a family reunion. the boy's mothMy sister-in-laer, barged into the bathroom and caught her son in the act. I heard her screaming at him as she dragged him down the stairs. When I asked what was going on, she replied, "Oh, nothing much. Boys will be boys." I did not learn what really happened until my daughter told me everything. I took her to the doctor the next day, and by law, the doctor had to file a report. My daughter was interviewed by deputies, social workers, detectives and a therapist. She told them exactly what happened. The authorities then contacted my brother's family for questioning. My brother, the boy's father, is now furious with me for "bringing in authorities and ruining the family name." He hung up on me when I called him on the phone and now refuses to have anything to do with me. Meanwhile, my daughter will be in counseling for a long time. She never will be able to forget what happened to her. What the boy's father described as "a little curiosity exploring" will have a lifelong effect on that child. Nowhere, U.S.A. Dear U.S.A.: All children should be told (3 years of age is not too early) that their private parts are private and that they should not let anyone touch them. They should also be told that if anyone tries to touch them there, they should tell their parents about it immediately. You have given me the opportunity to spotlight a very important subject, and I thank you for it.

That letter bothered me tremendously. If this mother will forget in thinks a time, she is sadly mistaken. I am 27 now and finding it very hard to deal with the psychological problems I've had to live with since I was 3 years old. The same thing happened to me, and I remember every detail vividly. The molester was a teen-ag- e boy, a distant relative. My mother caught him at it, but she wouldn't do anything to stop him because she didn't want to "ruin the family name." It continued until I was 7, when he moved out of town. I have had many boyfriends, starting at age 13, and had sex with every one of them (most were several years older than I was), and it was no big deal, just something that was expected. It never occurred to me to say no. I am now married to a wonderful man and feel like the luckiest girl in the Anonymous, Of Course world. Dear Anonymous: You are "lucky" and then some. Girls who are molested at a very early age and continue to have sex with multiple partners years through their teen-agusually have low and have trouble establishing long-terrelationships. How fortunate for you to have met a decent, caring man who wanted to make you his life's partner. And how fortunate for him that you had the strength to turn your life around.
