Show Mingr-EnUrprl- Thursday, March 21, 1985 , Bruce Jennings Tonia Edwards, a fifth grade student at Gunnison Valley Elementary School, is one of about 40 volunteers who are helping teach the handicapped children enrolled in the Day Care Program at the school. Tonia says helping a handicapped boy or girl her own age with reading and math is "fun and gives her "a good feeling." "1 like helping, she says, and she's glad to give up recess and lunch time to do it. Tonia probably doesnt know the meaning of the terms used to describe some of the new educational practices precision in use teaching peer tutoring for some time in some regular classrooms, but new at Day Care. And because theyre proving their value with handicapped children, educators are visiting the Day Care Program at Gunnison Elementary to see those practices in operation. To be specific, precision teaching is teaching that focusses on a child's say the spelling special problem of "receive until that problem is overcome. And peer tutoring is one-on-o- teaching help provided by a child in the regular program for a handicapped child the same age. is the supervising the Day Care Program, which is operated by the South Sanpete District for the North Sanpete and Sevier School Districts, too. Donna Pritchard is the teacher's aide who is using the precision teaching and peer tutoring practices in her intermediate group.

REWARD: Steven Frischknecht is offering a $100 reward for the return of tools and a tool box stolen from an equipment shed on the Arthur King property in Ephraim. The children also learn survival skills the knowledge they need in in the academic the modern world are setting. They taught about money, telling time, reading signs. Theyre taught to recognize survival words, words like stop, go," street. Scouts seek work "car," "home. One tutor was very pleased when hed finally helped his handicapped counterpart always recognize the word poison" in a long list. Every child, he thinks, should be able to recognize that word. Helping a handicapped child learn to write his own name is another goal. The tutors are very helpful, in her classroom, Mrs. Pritchard says, because she can't find enough time to teach each handicapped child on a She trains the volunteers and that can take anywhere from two days to ten because theyre excused from their regular classes for only 15 to 20 minutes each day teaches them cueing, eye control, data recording and other teaching skills and checks back on them frequently. The sharing, the helping, is good for the handicapped children and good for the volunteers, Mrs. Schrotz says. Both are reward for the progress that occurs. Here's what one fifth grade volunteer wrote: "It makes me feel good to help. It makes me feel important to be able to leave my classroom and help in a different one. I think Ive helped a lot. He's learned to identify the word, poison. He's pretty smart. He can write his name pretty good, too." We are using peer tutoring in both the regular classroom and recess situations," Mrs. Schrotz says. In the classroom setting, the And another volunteer wrote: "It peer tutors are assigned to handicapped children their own age is sometimes fun to come in at lunch and help them with reading and time and help the kids with math or arithmetic. reading. It is sometimes even more fun to go to the daycare than to go to "In the recess setting, the tutors teach the children how to play recess."

Anyone can be that way." The mother of one of the special children sent a note to Mrs. Pritchard that said in part: "1 was really impressed with your peer tutoring observing you and the group reinforced my belief that to learning something children learn faster from other children.' In the minds of most researchers, perfect would mean a sweetner that has no calories, no chance of causing cancer, no bitter aftertaste, is heat resistant and is inexpensive Learning from one's peers, Mrs. Schrotz observes, can have a negative as well as a positive effect. At Day Care, she believes, the effect is positive, both for the handicapped children and for their tutors, who realize that they must be good teachers, both by precept and by example. "So far, nobody has been able to meet these standards," says Dr. Bob Olsen, Utah State University Extension nutrition specialist. Olsen says most of the people who have spent their lives researching artificial sweetners have missed the Foreign language films dated The first in foreign-languag- e series of films, entitled a "Wild Strawberries" will be shown in Snow College's Little Theatre Wednesday, March 27, at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited and there will be no charge for this film, or for subsequent films which will be shown on consecutive Wednesday evenings through May, according to Jackie Young project director of the grant obtained from the Utah Endowment for the Humanities.

For example: Saccharin was discovered in 1879, but its original use was as an antiseptic and food preservative. It was not until about 1907 that it began to be used as a sugar substitute. Cyclamate was discovered by accident in 1973 by a University of Illinois chemist. It was approved for use in foods in 1951 and was taken off the market in 1970. There is still controversy surrounding the research that links cyclamate consumption with bladder cancer in experimental animals. The film will be shown in Snow College's Little Theatre (Noyes Building 1 15). Aspartame was also discovered by mistake. In 1965, a scientist at G.D.

That makes them useless in baked products. The underlying problem with all artificial sweetner research is that we are still not sure exactly what processes go on in the body that make things taste sweet.

Half the sprinkingly system and half the grass at the 15 acre site are in place and the rest of the landscaping will be completed this summer. Manti City has been the official sponsor of the project, required in order to obtain the city community grant.
