Amen-ca- , n Fork. Those who attend the free concert may bring blankets or chairs. Concessions will be available. Eight siblings make up the Sizzling Strings. The Jensen family children play up to 14 stringed instruments with their mother at the piano. They offer a quick-paceentertaining show that includes brilliant Broadway, furiously fast fiddling, timeless country and a touch of classical flair. They have toured through Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. Closer to home, they have performed at family venues such as Thanksgiving Point, Young Family Farms, Utah County Fair, Springville Art Museum and The Provo Pioneer Day Extravaganza. It all started 13 years ago when young Joshua, 5 years old at the time, used sticks in the backyard to help him imagine he was playing the violin. Not long after, he insisted that his mother, Sherri, find a violin teacher. She did, and thus began the family's musical journey. The children's current ages are Joshua, 18; Jossalyn, 17; Ty, 15; Kenna, 14; Tennyson, 12; Caleb, 8; Kassandra, 7; and Krystal,2. Sherri, who is an accomplished keyboardist, had no idea she would raise so many string musicians, but not long after Joshua started violin lessons Jossalyn took up the d viola, at age 4. Ty started the cello because he became jealous of the older two. Kenna, who started learning the violin at age 4, fills out the quartet. Tennyson plays the double bass and wows the audience as he flies up and down the finger board and brings the deep, luscious string sound of the group to full fruition. Jossalyn shares the vocal spotlight with Tennyson. Jossalyn has been attending Aspen Music School all summer in Aspen, Colo., on full scholarship to hone her classical viola skills. She has also been chosen to be on a national public radio program called "From the Top," which features excellent young musicians from across the country. found at www.nationaltown-watch.orgnn- ; ; ; : : The Cancer awareness is Childhood week of Sept.

OXIEBX Gang-fre- e areas The Orem City Council voted Aug. 25 to make all public parks and public schools in the city prohibited areas for gang loitering. Under the gang loitering statute, codified during the last session of the state Legislature, it is a class B misdemeanor for gang members to loiter in designated areas after having been ordered to disperse by law enforcement within the preceding eight hours. The law's intent is to prevent gangs from establishing "turf" and bases for illegal activities. The council met with Alpine School District officials about including the public schools in the gang loitering-fre- e zones, and reportedly received their support. Orem police chief Mike Larsen said that currently, the parks and schools are the only designated areas of the city where the new ordinance will be in place, but the areas will be when the department gives an annual : report to the council. Li u TVS N : Herald Photos by ASHLEY FRANSCEUDaily Lone Peak High School junior Amanda Anderson plays with children in the school's center in Highland on Tuesday. day-car- e LPHS day care is a learning lab Ashley King CORRESPONDENT A handful of students at Lone Peak High School have the unique opportunity of receiving credit for working at a day care this year. The high school runs the day care from the school to provide students with hands-o- n education in early childhood education. Lone Peak is one of only three high schools in the Alpine School District to e offer the program. e Becky Cox is the supervisor at Lone Peak. Cox said that students must first take the Early Childhood Education 1 course before enrolling to help in the day care. The class is a semester of preparing students to teach children, Cox said. They learn developmental characteristics of children and then learn to apply them in curriculum. "Additionally, students learn about first aid, space planning for a classroom, how to identify child abuse, child nutrition and so on," Cox said. "They also plan and prepare activities for children in the areas of math, science, language arts, art, small and large motor skills and music." For most high schools in the state, the second semester of the course involves lab time, in which students spend time in a school-ru- n preschool. "The function of this is to be a lab for the students to practice what they have learned," Cox said. "Some school districts opted to create a dedicated room for this lab and offer a day care to expand the lab. This allows more students to participate in the program and offers the opportunity to work with a wider range of ages." While the added day-car- e facilities are able to serve a greater number of e students, the cost of adding a lab to a high school is very high, which is why so few schools have them at this day-car- day-car- high-scho- day-car- point. The preschool and programs operate under the family and consumer science teachers, and adults supervise the day care while the students act as teachers and caregivers.

Schaeffer Collection of European Art are available for public viewing starting this week. The exhibit, titled "A Struggle for Beauty & Meaning: Selections from the John H. Schaeffer Collection of Victorian Art," features approximately 40 iconic and rare paintings and sculptures. The collector, John Schaeffer, has traveled the world to build his collection Works of notable artists such as John William Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jone- s n and William Hunt will be displayed. A portion of Schaeffer's collection was recently featured at the BYU Museum of Art, but the Springville Museum of Art will display some of his new acquisitions in a new environment. John Schaeffer's belief that art viewing and appreciation is a search for beauty and meaning inspired the title of the paintings with rich, bright colors, usually with biblical or historical subjects.
