The Folsoms wish to put up a modular-typ- e house, a different form of housing than mobile homes, but constructed to different standards than the UBC. The house is approved by the federal government and carries a HUD inspection sticker, which is similar but not identical to the UCB. But the Folsoms say the HUD standard has been adopted by the state of Utah, and that counties do not have the right to discriminate against HUD homes. County Attorney Bill Benge said he had studied court cases in Florida and Colorado that dealt with similar issues and that he had conferred with the State Attorney General's office. , It money. They said they would take the county to court if not given approval. Council chairman Charlie Peterson asked the Folsoms to give the council a few days to look into the issue and see if an amicable solution can be reached. In other business, the council approved changes in the 1993 budget, to shift funds among departments. Near the end of each year, the clerkaudi tor's department determines which departments have gone over their estimated spending and takes money from the budgets of other departments to meet those shortfalls. According to the county, the biggest area of increased spending was in legal services, money going to outside attorney fees in suits the county has been involved in. The legal services line item was $60,000 above what the county budgeted for Helping students do well in school is important A child who does well in school has a good chance of doing well in life. As parents we want our children to get the most out of their school experience. We can better prepare our children for school by making sure they are physically prepared. They need to eat proper food, have sufficient exercise and sleep. They also need to have the proper immunizations against childhood diseases. Hearing and sight problems should also be addressed before a student suffers from not being able to see the blackboard or hear the instructor. Students should be told that the school is a serious learning environment and can be a pleasant, organized experience. They need to be told they will be away from home and with "strangers." Interest should be displayed in what is happening at school without too much concern about the rate of learning as a child begins hisher schooling. Problems that your students may be having should be discussed with the child's teacher. Parents need to focus on the student's self esteem as well as academic progress. Homework can more easily be quiet attempted in a work area without distractions. It has also proven to be better if homewoik is completed before TV is turned on. Helping with homework does not mean doing the student's work. It is best to review and discuss the student's work and suggest where changes might be considered in order to improve the assignment. well-lighte- In school, our children understanding, encouraging and open to our children.

Total charges in all the departments is $128,000. To free up money within the 1993 budget, $82,000 was taken away from the budget of the roads department. Money was also removed from the budgets of the county attorney, the surveyor, the jail, and from funds set aside to clean up the Cisco and Keystone salt water disposal pits. The council also heard from groups upset about increased fees at the civic center. Last month the council voted to double the rental cost to groups using the facility. And the council also heard from supporters of the Moab Film Commission from the county's-overal- l economic development department might mean decreased financial support for the Film Commission's activities in the future. Beginning in 1994, the coun- cil hopes to pay for Film Commission expenses through the budget of the Grand County Travel Council. That would shift the financial cost from the county's general fund to the transient room tax collection.
