She was so proud of her new country. She wanted so much to fit in and be a part of it. My sisters and I were in Girl Scouts. My brothers were Cubs. Mom was always a Room Mother. Always there with white sugar cookies and red Kool-Ai- d. Summer vacations were alto National Parks where we ways learned to appreciate the beauty of Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. But there was a gap in my cultural heritage. My mother never taught us her native language. She never shared with us the customs that she knew as a child. And we 't never visited her home which seemed uom to mysterious and fa? away.'" I dont think she did it conspiritual realm or Supreme Being. The new law also speaks on sciously.

A set of rules based on the statute will be . tected and allowed by the Constitution, according to U.S. Supreme Court. The law holds that private individuals (students) have the right to free exercise of religion, but government (public schools and the professionals who operate them) does not. Rutherford Institute attorney Matt Hilton, Spanish Fork, primarily drafted the bill. He says the law states that it protects freedom of conscience and religious liberties in the public schools. The law is explicit on some points, but open to interpretation on others. For example, it states that public schools may not sponsor prayer or religious devotional. That statement appears to declare that prayers at public school commencements are not permitted. Another example of the rather clear language in die law is this provision: School officials and employees may not use their positions to endorse, promote, or disparage, a particular religious, denominational, sectarian, agnostic or atheistic be- accordcompleted by for staff to Bates, attorney Doug ing the State Office of Education.

Board members requested that Vishnu Surivastava, change the plans to allow for 30 candle lighting in the two rooms that will be the site of future dances and conventions. Debate, continues on how to for the lights. Member, although pay not making it a part of the construction discussion, alluded to several ideas. They ranged from a timer box operated by quarters, a key system, used in other similar centers, family and group memberships. The lighting, at 30 candles in arena, and running at 40 percent, would only cost the facility $10. a day, for a 10 hour day. The committee was informed that the invitation for bid had been submitted to the newspaper and that contractors would be receiving plans before this coming Friday.
