Show Page 7, The Salina Sun, Wednesday, March 3, 1994 Helping your child Succeed in school yc 5 by Lily Eskelsen, president Utah Education Association Its easy to spell, but its the hardest word we ever ha ve to say : No. We try to say No to kids, but it gets filtered through several layers of juvenile brain cells, and what they actually hear is more like, I kinda, sorta think I better not, but keep working on me and maybe Ill change my mind. Few adults really know how to say NO. We love our kids, and weve been told to be positive and loving. No is so negative. We try to soften it. We make our No sound nurturing and loving. Big mistake. My 12 year old wants me to drive him to his friends house. Im reading the paper and dont want to put my shoes on. He says, Will you take me. Mom? Please? Plleeeasssse? I say, I really wish I could but Ive got a lot to do and I wont have time." Is he discouraged? Heavens, no! He takes heart After all, like I said, I really wish I could. Hes halfway there. And Ive given him a reason. Ive got a lot to do. What, he needs to know, do I have to do? Its clear that Ill have plenty of time to play taxi and still get everything done. He mentally bets himself that with just 20 or 30 minutes more of pestering, needing and whining, hell be on his way. And hell apply this technique when asking for movies I dont want him to see, money I don t want to lend him,- or sleepovers I dont want the :. 'M'i V' rS vr . . r .

Eight youths were presented with honors in recognition of using their knowledge of Emergency Medical Training. Jessica Barney receives award from Governor Leavitt North Sevier High School Freshman, Jessica Barney, along with seven other youths from the State of Utah were honored February 22, 1994 by Governor Mike Leavitt at the State Capitol Building where local television stations covered the event. The eight youths were presented with plaques and certificates in recognition of honoring them for using their knowledge of Emergency Medical Training. Each one of the young people honored were credited for keeping cool heads and applying what they had learned in Special Medical Training. Jessica used her knowledge just one day after completing a Emergency Training Course taught by Jonathan Edwards. A statewide program is being taught to students on what to do in emergencies. Since its inception in 1982, the Utah Emergency Medical Training Council (UEMTC) has taught techniques to 236,571 students in Utah. Through a life-savi- curriculum called What to Do Until the Ambulance Arrives, every high school in Utah offers CPR and first-ai- d classes. The students who participated in the courses are credited with rescuing 125 people, often only days after learning the methods. In every case a life is saved, those families have been grateful that there had been somebody who knew what to said Elaine Butterfield, execu. do, tive director of the UEMTC.

Lions Club hold planning session to outline activities At the Salina Lions Club meeting held at the Carriage Court on February 23, 1994, a planning session was held to outline some of the activities for the club during the next five months. Some of the plans were as follows: 1. Endeavor to improve and increase the newspaper collection with an increasing demand for folded paper by the Utah Florists. 2.

Sometimes maybe is the answer you mean, and you really havent made up your mind. But when you have, you have a right (and a responsibility) to say No. Dont be soft Dont be squishy. Stand firm. And remember. (1) You dont owe a child an excuse. When children ask a favor, they should not feel like they are entitled to a Yes unless you have a good reason for a No. (2) You dont owe them an apology. Youve done nothing wrong in saying No. (3) You have to practice. Say it loud. Say it proud. No, were not going there today. No, I dont want yo seeing that No, Im not giving that to you."

If a news source does give the other side of the story and either discredits it by the way it is presented or acts like the source is not worthy then that is probably a clue that it is worth checking out. How much effort should you go to, to find out the truth? The answer, obviously, depends on how important the issue is to you. However, if you are going to get your news from the TV, you owe it to yourself to at lease read a newspaper. Newspaper reporters are not bias free, but there is usually more of the story there than there is on the TV, and if it is an issue of concern to you follow itfora while, there will often be another report or an d column that adds informaop-e- tion. Then of course, there are news and trade magazines. If these are too expensive to subscribe to for the few issues that may be that important to ' you go to the public library and check out the periodical shelf. It is true we cant each know everything, but with a little reading we can get to the bottom of a lot of issues that do affect us.
