In actuality, Scoopline is a service, a benefit to our customers, says Chris Robert, the Scoopline account maninformation on the ager. Lets say a BYU fan wants Cougar football team. For a couple of bucks he can call a special number and receive current information that Scoopline might not make the daily newspapers. Sure, he can. ..But he also can call one of six dating services. And that, according to some complaining residents, is the problem. I hold a position in the LDS Church, said one Cyclops caller. Ive never looked at another woman except my wife. And yet my telephone bill shows that I called a Scoopline number of a dating service. I dont know anything about it. The folks at Mountain Bell know little about it either.

The show was professionally done, with an outstanding cast, consisting of the following: Liz Smith as Reno Sweeny, Nathan Goff as Billy Crocker, Todd Wente as Moonface Martin, Laura Oldham as Hope Harcourt, Julie Richards as Bonnie, Cory Leonard as Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, Marcel Walker as Mrs. Harcourt, Matthew Semandeni as Bishop Henry T. Dobson, Justin Brown as reporter, Scott Stringham as Cameraman, Scoopline charges. But most of the people eventually discover that their children or a babysitter made the telephone call. It was a reasonable explanation. And then Robert made me an offer I couldnt refuse. How would you like to call one of the dating services? Ill connect you. Within 30 seconds I was listening to the same d ladies my Mormon caller had not listened to-had been billed for. Hi, Im 18, have brown hair, blue eyes and am Some people say that Im beautiful. If youd like to meet me, call me at my home telephone ...Hello, Ive been divorced for 14 years and 1 1 months and am looking for a moral man who can appreciate good cooking.

I am Jackie, Im a young 30 years of age, Im 5 feet tall and 105 pounds. I am pretty attractive. Id like to meet you-b- ut only if youre single and have a steady job. Thank you. I could have haerd more. The longer you hang on the line, the more girls you meet-a- nd the more charges are racked up on Scoopline.

But members of the district chapter of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), whose Utah group is called Utah Teachers United (UTU), say they are not, and or never have been, anti-DEA anti-UE- Those words, from chapter Dave Nielsen, have somehow escaped other published reports of the group's formation. Nielsen, a teacher at Sunset Junior High, says his group simply has a different philosophy as to purpose. We dont feel you have to be anti-DEDEA has to be pro-AFserved teachers well in the past T. A with regard to representing teachers rights. Im not nearly as dissatisfied with DEAs representation of teachers as I am frustrated with its general philosophy, he states. AFT was formed several years Its ago as an arm of the AFL-CI- founder, Albert Shanker, is well known nationally for his progres sive views on education reform. He currently serves as International President. Nielsen, whose Bob Jensen, also teaches at Sunset Junior High, says AFT has led the way with education reform. Its only been in the last few years that the NEA (National Education Association) has jumped on the reform bandwagon. UTU formed three years ago in Utah. Its president, Pat Denslow, operates out of Salt Lake City. The state organization is approaching about 1200 members, and Ms. Denslow sees that number growing dramatically in the next couple of years. Weve had chapters chartered in both the Salt Laike and Granite School Districts, she says. Im sure the growth in those districts will increase rapidly. Some of the other districts are just getting started, and as they get the message of AFT conveyed, UTU will grow even faster. Currently, the DEA serves as local representative of the UEA, which in turn patterns its policies for the most part from NEA. AFT has a similar chain-o- f command. But thats where the similarities end, Nielsen points out. AFT deals with the issues that h- ntns TT(P IEdlnTtciDD0 Riding place needed horse club in Layton. is a We are members of a wonderful organization for youth as it helps to build character. in Davis County has many fine and outstanding leaders which help in any way that they can. Our problem is that Davis County has no riding facilities for us to ride in. For the past two years we have been using a make-shiarena set up at Davis High. It was set up entirely with donated labor from adult riding clubs in the county. We know that there are many horse enthusiasts in our county and that given a piece of property to work with, another arena could be constructed again. We need a permanent arena where lights and bleachers could be set up. We know our county has many beautiful, parks and golf courses for its citizens and we really feel like its time that we get the arena that we need. 4-- H 4-- H 4-- H ft Kristen Fikstad Tami Fikstad t will turn teaching into a true profession. Like doctors or lawyers, AFT believes that teachers should strive for certification and make substantial changes in education policies and procedures, he explains. He adds that DEA, and its parent groups, have been mainly concerned about teachers salaries in the past few years. We agree that teachers have the right to make more money, but that comes with certification, with the accomplishments of teachers in the classroom, not just in the bargaining room. Nielsen, who says about 50 district teachers have joined the new group, compares the goals of AFT with the way the American Bar Association, or similar organizations, have handled their profession. The ABA sets standards and policies for performance of lawyers, just as the American Medical Association does for doctors. They arent concerned just about higher pay. Teacher unions of the past have made pay their most important issue, and that often leads to the protection of incompetent teachers rather than helping them improve, he adds. Nielsen says that boards of education, which set standards and administrate policies for teachers, have been forced to police the profession. Thats because we have not been able to set policies for ourselves. The certification of teachers, and the teaching profession, could change that." Among the groups goals are certification, plus the usage of master teachers in schools to help train college student interns. Most student teachers spend a semester or less in a training environment. That often is not enough, and yet, as college students they cant afford to spend more than that. We would like to see these master teachers train the students, with both parties receiving some type of pay. Wed encourage the training period to last an entire school year as well, he adds. UTU has already assumed an active role at the state legislative level, as UEA has done. Both organizations feel much can be accomplished at the local, state and na- tional levels to improve the teaching profession. One area where AFT realizes that its at a disadvantage is in bargaining for teachers. With about 70 percent of Davis District teachers belonging to DEA, it is still the bargaining force for teacher contracts. Were optimistic that as memberships change each year, more and more educators will come our way, Nielsen adds. We simply offer educators an alternative, and we feel a good one. 7 ' ' For more information about By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON The preservation and storage of textiles, documents, photos and other family artifacts was the topic of discussion at the Tuesday meeting of the Kaysville-Layto- n Historical Society.

Sew the article onto muslin or acid-fre- e backing using 100 percent cotton thread. Be careful that the needle 544-383- 5. doesnt punch holes in the fabric. A needle is the best kind to use. Water soluable glues are good to use, she said. If you want to preserve a dress, it is best to hang it up in a muslin bag which is open on the bottom. Clothing should be hung on a wooden hanger that has been padded with quilt batting and a muslin cover. Never store clothing in plastic. Another interesting thing about ball-poi- nt preservation Ms. Brookheyser mentioned was to never seal anything completely. Leave an opening at the top or bottom of garment bags, photo pages or document containers. This allows the material being stored to breathe. She said a guideline to follow is dont do something you cant undo. Textiles shouldnt be washed very often, if at all.
