We had another volunteer who wanted to give us too much of her time. The screening process discovered both situations," the volunteer coordinator said. Ms. Berry said the Salt Lake Dilauded even by stricts program LEA critics in a i cent legislative provides coordination and meeting training so teachers and volunteers know their respective roles. The program furthermore lets volunteers know how to enrich, support and help children learn the subjects and concepts their teachers are teaching them. Good volunteer programs, added Ms Berry, also teach school personnel how to better deal with and be among and not just in the community "We use many senior citizens as volunteers and they give us more of their time, love and energy than you can ever hope for, said Ms Berry "W'e look also to the business community, ask businesses to give released time to parents, and use students to assist with other students, she added. Ms. Berry said volunteers give about 350,000 hours of their time each year in service to Salt Lake City Schools. if they were paid minimum wage, their services would cost the district $1 .25 million, although they are worth much more than that, she said. "If facets of the education community are skeptical about the need and role of volunteers, the volunteers may not be available when educators change their tune and want assistance in the classroom, she B-- The American Red Cross, cancer society and hospitals don't discount the use of volunteers, she said "Educators are now competing with these and other agencies for a shrinking number of volunteers," said Ms. Berry Volunteers will give service where they are welcome, well received and where they can offer meaningful assistance, she said. Citing the program she oversees in Salt Lake City, Ms. Berry said a good volunteer program is an opportunity to bring in citizens and involve the community in meeting schools educational goals. "If educational goals are to improve spelling or reduce math failure, tie the volunteers into the objectives, she said. "Educators can strengthen their position in the community through school volunteer programs.

Manti had asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the federal equivalent of the Public Service Commission, to order UP&L to transmit power to the tiny city when its A UP&L expires Feb. 4. UP&L owns the only power lines to Manti and the city cannot afford to build a transmission system that would duplicate L'P&L's existing sys- tem. d UP&L supplies roughly of the citys power through a wholesale power contract. The balance of one-thir- Manti's power comes from two hydroelectric power plants the city owns and from federal hydroelectric dams along the Colorado River. UP&L told Manti in 1981 that it would not renew the wholesale power contract after Manti refused to give contract. up a fixed-pric- e Manti, which was seeking power from another supplier, went to the FERC because it contended that UP&L had refused to transmit power to the city once the wholesale power contract expires. UP&L said it would transmit power to Manti once the city knew how much power it planned to buy and who would supply the power. There was no reason for the FERC to order the company to transmit power to Manti when in fact we have publicly announced, quite loudly, that we will transmit power to the city, said UP&L spokesman John Serfus-tin- i. But Manti contended it could not reach an agreement with a potential supplier unless UP&L agreed to transmit the power to the city. Our problem is fair transmission, fairly negotiated, said Donald Allen, the attorney who represented Manti before the FERC. "Up to now, we never felt we were on equal terms with UP&L and we still dont. The FERC said in its seven-pag- e order that Manti did not provided sufficient information on where the city planned to buy power once its wholesale contract with UP&L expired. When the FERC hearing was held last August, Manti had a tentative arrangement to buy power from Deseret Generation & Transmission Bonanza Power Plant near Vernal. The agreement, however, had not been completed, Mr. Allen said. Manti is a member of the Utah Municipal Power Association, a group of six municipal utilities in central Utah that has since bought about a 4 percent interest in the Bonanza plant. Although Mantis wholesale power contract expires early next week, UP&L will continue to provide power to the city, Mr. Serfustini said. "Manti could not prove there was of laws that any threat to service," he said of the PURPA, a hodge-podg- e came out of the energy crisis of the FREC order issued Wednesday. late 1970s, Mr. Allen said.

And saying sponsible that is like putting a sign on my back that says Kick Me. " Dr. Bell said legislative funding cuts in education for this fiscal year will hurt education. Teacher contracts already are in place so educators will have to scratch and scrape to make up for the reductions. "I never thought Id see the day Utah would cut existing educational budgets he said. I guess its better than a deficit.

Ann Campbell, National PTA officer and a former member of the National Commission on Excellence in Education, said she was surprised to n learn of Utah's ranking in class sizes. Dr. Campbell drew oohs" from the audience when she said the average class size in the nation is 20 students to one teacher in elementary schools and 16.5 to one in secondary schools. "I was shocked to find out Utahs class sizes are in the 30s, she said. "One teacher told me that she has 37 students." Dr. Campbell said educational reform is a "grinding, noisy and confrontational" process. Parents should become involved in the schools, after having learned the issues. She said it is wrong to assume parents and students have no responsibility in the educational process, and wrong to assume educational reform can come without additional funding. Dr. Bell said outstanding school are those with active PTA organizations and principals who are committed to parental involvement, who can reach out to the community to obtain active support. The HomeSchool Connection conference was sponsored by the Utah and National PTA, the Utah State Board of Education, State Office of Education, Rocky Mountain Counseling Center and USU Mountain Plains Regional Resource Center. highest-in-the-natio- THE BEST OF EVERYTHING!
