Ultimately, as always, it is the kids who will suffer. As adults, we make radical decisions and dont stop to consider who is affected, as long as we achieve our goals, to hell with anyone who gets in the way. Many county residents are unaware of the situation concerning the Carroll Arena, north of Orderville. As a fairground area it has been pass-the-buc- used since 1976, free of charge, so graciously donated by the Carroll family. Today, less than 4 months from fair time, the arena is locked, and will remain so unless a stagnant situation is remedied. The key to the arena is held by a county commissioner and her signature on a contract is the requirements to back in the saddle. put Because of a personal goal and her ability to control the power struggle, she refuses to relent. 1 feel that this is a potentially and somesituation explosive one in authority had best get it straightened out before Aug. 4-- 6, 1983. Sincerely, Patsy Blackburn Orderville, Utah New Kindergarten Program Planned The Kanab Elementary adopting a new program for the kindergarten for the 1983-8- 4 school year. It is Early Prevention of School Failure. This program was started by Lucille Warner in Illinois and she has trained teachers who are called turnkey trainers. These trainers in turn travel to schools to present the program and teach it to the kindergarten teachers. Principal Bob Johnson was interested in the program and will begin EPSF at Kanab next fall. A Elementary sample of six new kindergarten students were screened and their parents given an orientation presentation last week in Kanab. In this program, parents are told that they are the major force in their childs life and that by age five the child has of all the learned one-hainformation they will learn in their lifetime. The program consists of five areas to identify each child's individual strengths and weaknesses. The teachers and parents are then able to remediate the weaknesses and start the child on a success cycle. The program is specifically devised to help each child feel good about him or herself. During the first phase of the screening the strengths and weaknesses are determined. l.Q. is not tested for. This phase finds out each child's modality, or mode of learning. About 20 minutes per day in class will be in the child's modality group. The philosophy of EPSF is that even though he or she can't do certain tasks, they wont feel failure--it'- s just something they haven't learned how to do yet. Once the screening is complete, confer school is lf ences with parents are held, the childs learning style is determined and his or her special needs will be met. The five areas of screening does are 1) visual skills-wh- at he see and how does he it. 2) Auditory interpret skills-wh- at does she hear-ho- w does she interpret what she hears. 3) Gross motor skills - how does she move her body during a given task. The gross motor skills are the alrger muscles and involve running, playing outdoors, etc. If a child stays indoors most of the time the gross motor skills will not be as developed. 4) Language skills - how does she express herself and understand the concepts of her environment. 5) Fine Motor Skills -- how does she interact with objects using her hands. This is the first thing most children develop. It is how they color or write or use their hands with small shapes and objects. Screening of the 1983-8- 4 students will kindergarten begin in the fall during the next school year. Parents will be given a parent orientation and a questionnaire about their child to fill out. Teachers will use the student learning profile from the screening and the parent's responses to help each child individually. Parents will be given the opportunity to meet with theii child's teacher or guidance counselor, if desired. The program is designed tc help children in their weakest areas early in their lives sc they don't get into a set failure pattern by the age of 9 oi 10-t- he age special help ii usually available. Principal Bob Johnson it looking forward to the new program and feels it will reallj help the students as the; begin school. -- 0049-165- 9 Serv. District Review Bids On Collection (Continued bom page one ing Orderville. along with the other areas of the District. Esther Heaton directly answered Dr. Roberts, "It couldnt pay to have several collectors." She answered Dr. Roberts question "If the towns can do it chaper, why with "They not let them? can't do it cheaper. The District said the biggest expense is to maintain the landfill. They explained that the Special Service District was to set up to serve the whole western part of Kane County. To be able to do that it has to be as a unit. They were asked, "why not charge a fee and let them do it as they want?" and "Why does a private contractor have to pay $4,000 a month to use the santary landfill?" Gaud Glazier said "that fee is to pay back the money used for the road, fencing and the expenses to get the landfill set up. When that money is paid back the $4,000 a month fee would stop." However, that was not specified in the bids, according to Mr. Truman Lynch, and may have changed the way bidders bid if they had known that. Esther Heaton replied that the Special Service District doesn't want to make any profit. The fee is only to pay back the money spent. Rick Lynch thought that the $4,000 a month was quite extreme. Dr. Roberts said the contract is binding on the contractor and all options are left to the Special Service District, and that the contractor was taking all the gamble. The members of the Special Service District thought they were the ones taking the gamble. In other business at the meeting.

Brown, publisher and editor. Member Utah Press Association and National Newspaper Association. By Rob Ford A few short years ago 1 heard about a small affluent school district in northern California. It was in the mountains, an idealic setting away from the urban population of Sacramento, but close enough to commute to their respective businesses. This district had one high school. These people appreciated the advantage that good education could bring and it reflected in their attitude toward the high school. Parents were very involved. Circumstances became such that it was necessary to search out a new principal for the high school. They wanted the best man available and had the means to entice him to their district. They found a man who fit their needs and offered him the job. Obviously, the proposal was attractive, though it meant leaving his own successful position and uprooting his family. Knowing the complexities and the intrigues that are Always a part of any school, he accepted the offer with some conditions that he felt essential. The school board and parents wanted a quality school that met the demands of today s education and preparing their children. He knew this is not done without a great deal of forethought and planning. assume he Now, you buy teachers teachmg aids and equipment.
