And the principals may believe the program is difficult and only adds to their full schedule. However, each school can choose which level they will try to achieve, and resources and funding are available to support the school. Up to $1,500 is available to schools that achieve their fitness goals, and children are more productive when they are physically fit, Cross said. If each board member encourages schools to partici- pate, Cross said it may help to dispel any concerns about the program. Educators are concerned for their children, and if they understand the program, they may be more willing to get involved. "All schools want their children to be healthy," she said.

If If JD Richard Nance, director of the Utah County Division of , Substance Abuse, also spoke to the Board of Health on Monday about the state's metham-phetamicampaign. Nance said the campaign was started after Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. took a tour of the Salt Lake City House of Hope, where his eyes were opened to the drug's problems. The state campaign was modeled after commercials that aired in Montana to address drug problems, but Nance said local commercials were intended to use an approach more appropriate for Utah. While the Montana commercials were harsh, Utah's are more gentle. While most drug rehabilitation clients are males, 64 percent of Utah meth users are women, and the state campaign brings awareness to that. Billboards in Utah County showed diaper bags, purses and pacifiers and the campaign brought the users' lifestyle to light. Nance said the billboards' effectiveness were obvious because of the number of complaints they drew. Nance said much of the campaign was directed to family members of addicts to encourage them to seek help. It is vital for meth users to get help, because treatment can decrease child neglect and abuse cases, and foster care and termination of parental rights also decreases. Once meth users have completed an outpatient program such as Promise of Women and Families, Nance said sobriety increases to 90 percent and users are able to obtain stable housing, higher income and an improved relationship with family members. the Savvy Shopper '"f ; Price good through 329 , Prie in good through 330 m Price good through (free to Daily 375-510- 3 or thesawyshopper Chercldextra.com ; PmlH Trin !antc Program, which launched in September 2006, distributed 1 fim trrants totaling $1 fi mil- cation professionals so that teachers may continue using field trips to enhance students' classroom studies. Bean Continued from Bl BYU senior Melissa who works at the museum as an educator, told her excited audience before she instructed them to touch Ringo with two fingers and stay away from his head. Patty Jones, the assistant to the museum director, said she likes seeing the children come in and run from animal to animal with looks of awe and wonder. "It's really exciting to see them ... like little sponges soaking up all the information," Jones said. Learning the difference between different kinds of animals is part of the core curriculum for students in kindergarten. Teacher Susan Sabey said that without the museum, she could still teach her students that snakes come from eggs while puppies don't, but it just wouldn't be the same. "They also get to touch and feel things," Sabey said. Museum director Larry St. Clair said children like the lions, tigers and bears. "Children are attracted by certain things: the big Kodiak bear, the wolves, the lions," St. Clair said. Teaching classes is one of Landeen's favorite parts about working at the museum "It's just so fun to see the looks on the kids' faces," Landeen said.
