Show Page Two - The Pyramid - June 11, 1997 MEWTAIY Open house to honor Mack Vance Merrill Ogden Keeping kids occupied Well, it's that time of year again. The Sanpete kids are out of school and wondering what to do with themselves. Granted, some of them have actual jobs and keep busy by being employed. Many others however are making a speedy transition into a summer life of late nights, late mornings and time on their hands in between. Time was when the agricultural community could keep kids working from dawn to the setting of the moon. The advent of bale wagons put lots of hayhauling kids out of work. The demise of sugarbeet farming years ago put an end to beet thinning. Some kids want to work but don't get the opportunity nowadays. We all try to get our kids to do the yaid work and household chores. We have to provide money .to our kids for their activities and needs anyway. So we want them to work for their "keep." But sometimes its like pullmg teeth to get our own kids to be cheerful employees. Sometimes I think that we ought to hire each other's children to do work around our yards and houses. The other day my daughter was cleaning for somebody else and seemed to enjoy the work. My wife had somebody come in to do some cleaning for her. For some reason the same w'ork seems different when kids aren't working for their own household. When not working, the kids of summer need constructive FAIRVIE- W- An open house will honor Mack Vance on his 80th birthday from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 14, 1997, at his home, 65 East 200 North, in Fairview.

They have three daughters, Kathy Roy, Sharon Pennington and Elaine Adams. They have nine grandchildren and four and creative ideas of how to spend their time. Parents are constantly challenged by the "Im Bored" syndrome. Here are a few options: 1 . Summer school 2. Library reading programs 3. 4-- H 4. Going to town halls and volunteering time to help with whatever needs doing 5. Scouting (girl and boy) 6. Sports leagues 7. Swimming lessons 8. Beginning or developing a hobby Here is a list of what kids find to do on their own without guidance: (granted these are fun, but not very constructive on a frequent summerlong basis) 1. Loitering at convenience stores 2. Loitering at Main Street corners 3. Loitering in dark basements basking in "Nintendo Glow" 4. Two words: Water Balloons 5. Opposite sex reconnaissance 6. Daytime television (like nighttime television is better) I dont have many creative answers when it comes to keeping kids occupied. If you find a winner, let me know. Otherwise well all struggle through until school starts again. (Utah Jazz Notes: OK, so we lost the game where we did all our Sanpete strategies. But we won three and four. Keep sending positive thoughts to the Jazz tonight. The Bulls are going to be looking for vengeance).. .Merrill The family requests no gifts. On June 14 many flags will be displayed in front yards, on poles and from porches. Many people fly the flag every day. It brings a thrill to see one flying and makes people feel good. The American flag stands for our country and every war ever fought. Someone has always picked up the flag and continued on. The flag is the life blood of the nation. It is the single symbol that bonds the U.S.A. The flag is a symbol of justice for those who have fought for liberty under its folds.
