Page IB May 24, 1988 Outstanding teachers in district cited ByARVA SMITH Staff writer Thirteen proved a lucky number for those honored Thursday evening as the outstanding teachers for 1987-8- in the Carbon County School 8 District. The group, one from each of the schools in the district and their spouses, were given awards at a dinner at the Elks Club. The dinner was sponsored by the Carbon County Board of Education. Each teacher was presented a desk set produced by students at the Castle Valley Center. Teachers can display the sets with pride. You should let people know you have won this honor, Supt. Ell B. Sorenson said in making the presentations. Honored were Carol Clark, Petersen Elementary; Lois Ruth Cotten, Creekview Janis Gitlin, Elementary; Wellington Elementary; Carol Ann Johnson, Harrier High; Pat Castle Heights Frandsen, Elementary; Sandra Hanson, Castle Valley Center; Doug Jennings, East Carbon High School. Catherine Llewelyn, Carbon High School; Janet Sparks, Helper Junior High School; Scott D. Stanton, Mont Harmon Junior High School; Hal S. Stevens, Westridge Middle School; Lynda Varner, Sally Mauro Elementary; and Leah Wells, Durrant Elementary. Teachers gave responses in a videotaped program produced through the cooperation of Eugene Crocco, board office; Foster Lott, teacher at Carbon High School; and television production students. Varner, who has taught 17 years, said the basic school curriculum is like a basic recipe; no matter how good it is, you can always add something new to improve it. A teacher for the past six years, Stevens said, The student needs to come first. Students need a variety of learning experiences and to develop many skills including research skills. (Continued on Page 2A) School district to offer program to special students Help for developmental delayed three- - and will be offered next year through a new program being organized in the Carbon County School District, Dr. Robert N. Hanson, assistant superintendent, said. manThe new program dated by state and federal governments and going into will operation statewide four-year-ol- teach mainly language development, motor skills and socialization. In the past, such services have been available only for a limited number of children, generally the most severely handicapped, through a program of the Castle Valley Center. Children in the older program were qualified by the Utah Department of Social Services. The new program may be offered at the Castle Valley Center but it may also be located at some of the other schools. There could be two or three centers depending on the need, Hanson told members of the Carbon County Board of Education at their meeting. At this point we have no idea about the numbers that may be enrolled, he said. The program will begin operation at the start of the 1988-8- 9 school year. Hanson said during the summer, probably early in June and again early in August, some testing will be done. The testing will be done by school psychologists. Some aides may be hired to help them. Parents who have children who may qualify for the program are urged to contact Bunny VanSickle at the school district office, 637-173- 2. Hanson said VanSickle will make arrangements for the examinations which will verify the childrens eligibility. Those who qualify will be three-- , four- - and children with difficulty in one or more of the following areas, personalsocial development, motor development, adaptive development, communication and cognitive development. Personalsocial development five-year-o- ld includes adult interaction, expression of feelings or peer emotions, interaction, coping and social role. Motor development includes muscle control, body coordination, locomotion, fine muscle movement and perceptual motor skills. In the adaptive development category are such skills as self-conce- paying attention, dressing, personal eating, respon- sibility and toileting. The communication areas are in receptive language and expressive language.

According to Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Billy Hunt, three motorcycles collided with a GMC pickup on the curve just 600 feet east of the bridge. Killed on impact at the scene was Howard W. Busch, 41, Orem. John E. Cawley, 48, Orem, died at Castleview Hospital in Price shortly after the accident. Barry Smith, 46, k American Fork, remains in critical condition in a Salt Lake City hospital where he was transferred by helicopter. A fourth motorcycle driver was able to avoid the accident. He is Ron Carter, 46, Orem. The pickup, driven by Janet Kelly, 34, Clawson, was heading toward Price from the summitt when her pickup crossed left of the center line, Hunt said. She had just started into the right hand curve, Hunt said, and saw the motorcycles coming at her vehicle nnd took evasive action, pulling quickly back to accident kills two the right. Busch, riding the lead motorcycle, slammed into the front end of the truck, just inside the right fender and was killed instantly, Hunt said. About 40 to 50 feet behind him was Smith with Cawley another 30 to 40 feet further back. The impact of the Honda Gold Wing motorcycle caused the pickup to rotate clockwise and the motorcycles driven by and Cawley then imthe left side of the truck, pacted to skid off the road on it causing the west side. Its unbelievable, but Carter Smith was able to get his motorcycle out on the shoulder and ride through the accident scene on the bank before stopping about 150 feet beyond the accident, Hunt said. Hunt also speculated that one of the second two riders to impact the truck had laid his motorcycle down in taking evasive action before hitting the truck. Kelly had some injuries to her lower left leg and complained at the scene of neck pain, Hunt said. Investigation into the accident is continuing, Hunt said. |
