(She would . havesajd,I told you I was sick.") Norma Hampshire Anderson was born November 6, 1918, during the terInfluenza epidemic, ki rify Mount Pleasant, Utah, to Samuel Richard and Etna Cecilia Waldemar Hampshire, She was the youngest and the last of her sMngs: Richard (Dick), Lyle E, and Auer S. Hampshire. The family moved to Orem when she was seven years old. Norma attended Orem schools and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1936. She was very active in high school and was a member of the Posture Parade (like the pep dubs of today). She participated in and played piano for many high school assemblies, plays, and other activities. She played piano in a local dance band called "The Gentlemen of Swing" (she was the only girl in the band). Mom had natural gift of playing piano by ear, as well as Later in life, she used to say, "Now, I play by smelL! Norma met her future husband; Paul Everice Anderson, in elementary school and they knew each other throughout their school days. They were married in Orem on March 22, 1941, and lasted until Paul's death in September, 1996. Norma and Paul moved to Bountiful in 1941, and then West Bountiful. She started taking dance at the age of thirteen from the local teacher, Rita Brooks. At the tender age of 15 12, she started teaching the children of Orem in her father's barbershop. She continued her chosen career of teaching tap, ballet, and freestyle jazz for 65 years, in the Davis County area, until she retired at the age of 80 12 years young. Norma had her own accom- panists: Mary Alice Eakle (about 10 years) and Virginia Mann (48 years). Norma was a member and of the local chapter of NADAA (National Association of Dance and Affiliated Artists, Inc.) for more than 35 years. Her talents included playing piano, singing, poetry, and composing happy, fun tunes, that frequently found their way into her dance routines. Norma's biggest natural talent was giving of herself to others. She loved teddy bears, beautiful sunsets, Sherrie's homemade bread, roses, cats, any shade of blue, Louis L' Amour books, Western movies, good music, and the family cabin at Fish Lake National Forest. Norma and her daughter, Colleen, spent six weeks together there this summer. ' Y sight-readin- B7 : ; Daylight search for Hacking to continue Norma is well known and loved for her unselfish influence to her fami-rfriends, and thousands of associates and dance studenta. Norma's Dance Studio was also very generous in donating thousands of dollars to TT", Primary Medical Center, The Opportunity Center, and other charita ble organizations. When asked what religion are you, she'd reply, with a grin on her face, "I'm a heathen." We called her the "Dry Mormon because she never would join. However, she spent countless hours working in the West Bountiful 1st Ward. She was Dance Director for some years, and she wrote and directed many ward roadshows. She enjoyed working with the youth and adults in the ward. Norma is survived by her four children: Larry Paul Anderson (Chris), Las Vegas, NV; Connie Jean Anderson Mattioda (Jim), Tucson, AZ; Colleen Anderson, West Bountiful; and Sherrie Lyim Anderson Scott (Canby), Lehi, UT; her two grandchildren are Lori Faith Merritt (Bill), Tucson, AZ; and Katelyn Ann Scott, Lehi, UT; nieces and nephews. Her parents, two broth-- , ers, one sister, and her husband preceded her in death. Thank you, FJon Widdison and Shelley Argyle, for being devoted visiting teachers and friends; J. Dell Holbrook and Wes Argyle, home teachers; and Jeanne and Evan Cope (classmate and friends forever). We'd like to include her many friends, former dance students, and associates but there are way too many to name. The family also wishes to express our appreciation to dear friends, relatives, and Marie Jensen from VistaCare, and others, who gave tender service to Norma. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." We will miss her quick wit, humble spirit, and darling sense of humor. We love you Norma, friend, Mom, and Grandmom! Norma and family would love it if you could donate your time or money to Primary Children's Medical Center in her honor. Take an old person to lunch once a week, like Norma did with her late friends.

Charlissa Sireech, 45, pleaded innocent Friday to seven charges, including assault resulting in serious bodily injury and assault with a dangerous weapon while within Indian country. Sireech is accused of throwand his ing a brother to the hardwood floor repeatedly and burning the younger boy with a curling iron. According to court docu y ments, she was angry because the boys spoke Spanish and wouldn't do as they were told. This case involves child physical abuse of the most egregious nature," assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Bearn-so- n told U.S. Magistrate Brooke Wells. Wells ordered Sireech to remain in custody until her trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 15. The boys, their sister and two older had been living with Sireech and her boyfriend since early August.

Scholar lives among Navajos to deepen his affinity for Indian life Toby Smith i j ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL ' GALLUP, LJ-i- N.M.-- The boy sat in the public library in Berlin, swalsandy-haire- d lowing whole every book he could find about America. The books he liked best told of Indians. Indians rode horses, raised animals, lived romantic, t t adven-turouslive- s. The boy's life, on the other hand, was spare and lonely. His father had abandoned the family, and his mother and stepfather were strict as stone tablets. As he read, the boy dreamed that one day he might visit America, perhaps meet some Indians, maybe even ride a horse. In 1961, when he was 17, the boy left Germany and came to the United States to live. When he got off the plane in New York City and saw no bows and arrows, he asked, "Where are all the Indians?" The boy, Peter Handeland, is now 60 years old and he is talking to a classroom of students. Handeland's students this evening are mostly Navajo, and he is their German instructor at the Gallup branch of the University of New Mexico.

German is Largo's thud language; he already speaks English and Navajo. a Peter Handeland class. He clearly is the center of attention, studied as closely as a list of vocabulary words. The boy who yearned to experience the mysteries of Indians today has become a part of Indians, and they a part of him. . "It was my destiny," he likes to say. After English classes in Massachusetts, the German boy, now a young man, enrolled at Texas Lutheran College. Most Indians were out West, he quickly realized. In Texas he read an article in Life magazine about a blizzard in New Mexico that left hundreds of Navajos stranded in drifts, their livestock lying in the snow like frozen logs. That sealed things for me," says Handeland. "I would go to New Mexico to live with Navaot jos." He took a Greyhound bus from San Antonio and arrived . in Gallup in August 1970. . It was not easy being a stranger in a strange land. But Handeland's kindness, his strong work ethic and great curiosity quickly won him fans. Most important, Navajos detected from him a genuine interest in their lives. He didn't seem to want anything at all from them except to try to understand. One day a Gallup High School student, a Navajo, asked Handeland if he'd like to visit his home. Eyes widening, Handeland said yes. The Hudson Ranch is located in Tse Yah To, about 20 miles ' west of Gallup. "One look," says Handeland, "and I saw the land I had read about and dreamed of as a boy." He returned the following weekend, and the one after Tom and . that. The Hudsons Dorothy and their nine kids introduced him to herding sheep and cattle. They took him to a rodeo and fed him mutton stew and fry bread. They even put him atop a horse. After a while, the Hudson boys' asked Handeland if he wanted, to.live with them on the ranch. "I can't imagine anything I want to do more," says the man who dreamed of this life so long ago and so far away. atomism can sound normal to yourself when you speak.
