During the summer. Eliason attended seminar in Vermont, based a week-lon- g on the beliefs of a 1920's researcher, Orton Dillingham. Dillingham said that reading is really based on sound, not v the way it is taught. Eliason said that people who teach reading should have linguistic training, and that speech pathologists are the only professionals who get it. Linguistic training encompasses or thography, phonics.semantics, and comprehension. Weve all used some of it, but none of us has seen the whole picture, she commented. She gave an example of how we teach now: draw a letter a and will be able to feel how their bodies make the sounds and then be helped to know how to spell those sounds.

With its restoration project of the historical C.C.A. Christensen house well underway, the Traditional Building Skills Institute program is making a statq wide impact. C.C. A. Christensen was a prominent Mormon artist, who settled in Sanpete Valley after enduring the difficulties of across the plains. pulling a hand-ca- rt Christensen even served on the Ephraim City Council, and is respected for his civil leadership as well as his prolific writing. Christensens deeply rooted history with the city inspired Richard Christensen, one of his descendants, to donate the building for restoration. Under the direction of Russell Mendenhall, Snow College has been given the opportunity to work on this important project. Architectural Conservator, Dr. Joseph G. Gallagher, was hired to assist in the restoration, as was Robert Young from the University of Utah School of Architecture. Nine Snow College stu- dents: Laura Jensen, Michael Mahaffey, Aaron Nielsen, Blake Nielsen, Michael Allred, Joseph Anderson, Kevin Hadfield, Russell Larsen and Mitchell Merrill, also have the opportunity for hands-o- n learn ing through this important project. Currently, the restoration has included moving the cabin seven miles to its new location behind the Ephraim Cooperative Mercantile Association, and replacing the rotting base logs. In order to preserve the monument, a lot of care was taken in the craftsmanship. Students also learned the basics of the adze, a tjpe of wooden axe, to learn hewing and notching techniques. The replacement sill logs were donated by Nic Robertson of Legacy Log Homes. In the future Snow College TBSI plans to continue this historical restoration. We plan to redo the roof, doors, and windows" Mendenhall states. They will also complete several projects through the duration of the year. Anyone interested in taking classes at Snow College or community members interested in attending the workshops, are free to contact Russ Mendenhall. Donations to the restoration fund are also in demand. Contributions can be made to the Traditional Skills Building Institute at Snow College in care of Russ Mendenhall, (435) The benefit of this prowill touch gram many lives. Not only will it provide extremely valuable experiences for the students, but also make a mark on Ephraim City. Restoration projects such as this increase the historical value of the community and are methods by which many people can be reached. 283-757- 5.
