THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, April 7, 1988 LIFESTYLE I Lenore Schows Service Enriches Lives Of Patients At Plantation Getting The Story Right Presents Unique Challenge by Helen Glissmeyer Green Sheet Staff Writer MURRAY. If you cant hold a brush in your hand or move your arms can you still paint? If you have difficulty speaking, can you express your gratitude for life? If you have only a small allowance each month, how can you give a gift to a friend? Gay Cleverly, 50, and Janice residents of the Rice, 48, Plantation Care Center, 835 E. Vine St., have their own personal answers to these riddles. Although these women have had cerebral palsy since birth and have very limited physical ability, they now are able to paint pictures with the help of a dedicated friend, Lenore Schow. She has devised a way for them to hold the paint brush in their mouths and acrylic paint landscapes. As a result, they have changed from "depressed individuals to persons" with something worthwhile to anticipate each week. Also the women are able to give their paintings as gifts to friends and family members on special fun-lovin- enforcement hv stavA warren Green Sheet Staff Writer occasions. The miracle began last October. As president of the LDS Relief at Plantation Care Society Center, Mrs. Schow wanted to find a "homemaking" type activity for these two women. They were unable to participate in most crafts planned for the other residents. She knew that Janice had participated in some ceramics painting with the county work activity center until budget cuts discontinued such crafts. Gay had never done any such artwork. Then Mrs. Schow came up with the idea to teach them to paint landscapes. She had taken a few art classes and felt she knew enough to help these women. "I am a very amateur artist myself," says Mrs. Schow, "but I decided I would experiment and see what they could do." Every Wednesday morning she meets with the women, setting up their easels and palettes. She holds the canvas and also helps guide their brushes. Sometimes the brushes are taped to tongue ARTISTIC . . . Gay Cleverly demonstrates her newfound ability to paint despite disabilities. Cleverly Is one of two area nursing home patients to benefit from an amateur artists caring attitude. compressors to make them easier to hold in the womens mouths. The women produce lovely mountains and trees or desert scenes, using pictures from magazines such as from Arizona Highways for inspiration. The women have completed several paintings which are now on display at the two Murray libraries. Mrs. Schow says that because these women are handicapped in body and have difficulty speaking, "many people look at them as not having any mental capacity." But they are intelligent people who certainly are "not handicapped in mind or spirit." It takes effort for Janice to express herself, but she can be understood. Gay makes sounds which can be interpreted by Mrs. Schow and those who care for her. She is composing her daily journal by dictating it to others who write down the events for her. Mrs. Schow says there are residents r of the numerous home who express their nursing desire to paint when they see Janice and Gay produce their art work. She wishes more amateur artists would take time to teach handicapped people. Her friend, Glen Cornwall, comes often to assist her. She is pleased that the creative experiment with Janice and Gay has proved a success. 'You cant believe what it has done for their Mrs. Schow conself-esteem," cludes. WEST VALLEY. With Addam Swapp and the Singers now awaiting trial, one thing is certain - highly conflicting interpretations about the confrontation at their Marion farm, and what led up to it, will emerge.

Klingenberg has 12 years in the newspaper experience business, the last five of which were as publisher and editor of the High Country Independent Press of Belgrade, Montana.

Smiths Food and Drug Kings and Harmons Food Stores are two of the. supermarkets that have invited the Murray participants to sell coupon books at their stores during National Boys Club Week which is April 10-1- genberg observed. Because of their caveman mindset, when the Nichols Swenson, kidnapped ostensibly so that she could become Dans wife, "they didnt stop to think that society might frown on it," he said. Although not a psychiatrist, Klingenberg It was in Montana that offers this analysis of the elder look Nichols: "He had a couple of Klingenberg had a close-uat media coverage of an event screws loose." Even though he feels that Utah which, like the Singer episode, featured a confrontation between law enforcement officials were a fanatic, irrational element at unrealistic to expect that they odds with the law and those could reason with the Singers, Klingenberg praised police for charged with enforcing the law. In July 1984, Olympic class showing "tremendous restraint" athlete Kari Swenson was throughout the episode. The best kidnapped by mountain men Don evidence of that restraint, he and Dan Nichols as she jogged noted, was the fact that none of along an isolated mountain trail the children at Marion were in southwestern Montana injured in the shootout.

Because of Belgrades location and Dan Nichols, Klingenberg close to the scene of the crime, says the national media went to was Klingenberg personally the other extreme. On that story acquainted with law enforcement they managed to turn Sheriff officials and others in that part of Johnny France, an unprofessionMontana who daily were involved al, if not incompetent, lawman into a folk hero.

Although cover copy of Frances book, Incident at Big Sky, calls his capture of the Nichols "A Klindesperate confrontation," genberg and others in the area believed the two mountain men basically gave themselves up. factors led to this Three conclusion. First, the two men voluntarily came down from the high mountains. Second, they camped in one spot for two or three days and, third, they built a smokey fire. The message from all that, said Klingenberg, was "come and get us." After the conviction of the Nichols, Sheriff France went on a tour to nationwide publicity promote his book. In 1986, however, France was trounced by a former deputy in cour,cy elections. France had fired the deputy, Klingenberg recalled, when the deputy filed to seek the office. This action, together with absences Frances frequent occasioned by the publicity campaign, obviously cost France votes. Frances image also was tarnished before the election when he was caught hunting elk out of season, Klingenberg noted. Before becoming sheriff in Madison County, France had been a police officer in Dillon, Montana where he was kicked off the force. Apparently France had come into disfavor with superiors for shearing the head of an incarcerated "hippie," Klingenberg observed. Klingenberg said there are vast differences between what community journalists know and and what national report journalists report when they do a local story. Thats because the local who are journalists, personally acquainted with those who they, '.report on,; must continue to interact with those people on a regular basis. The national media, however, are here today and gone tomorrow "they dont care whose toes they step - on." 6.
