I discussed this problem with Mr Doug Semenick who was recently named the United States Strength Coach of the Year Mr Semenick is well known for his training of athletes at the University of Louisville basketHis program concenball program trates on a number of important philosophies According to Mr Semenick vertical jumping is a total body movement and he believes the upper shoulder muscles and chest muscles should be equally conditioned with those of the lower exIn the upper body the tremities deltoid or shoulder muscles (the large muscles along the spinal column) and the rectus abdominal muscles (stomach muscles) all play an important role in creating velocity to elevate the body off the floor He refers to these muscles as the jumping chain which begin in the upper body and also involve the gluteal lllllllllllllllllllimillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIH A Letter for Goldilocks continued He delivered mail to all the other went back to the neighborhood post office with Baby Bear’s letter to Goldilocks still in one of the trays Baby Bear’s letter was then put into another sack and sent back to the Main Post Office to the computer people When the computer people got the letter for Goldilocks they punched some keys on the computer and it spit out a bright yellow sticker On the sticker was Goldilocks’ new address! Back to the sorting people went Baby Bear’s letter Back into a big truck in the middle of the night Back to a different letter carrier morning Into a slot into a tray into a jeep (It sure was doing a lot of traveling for just 22 cents!) Finally the letter was really on its way to Goldilocks The letter carrier drove to the street where Goldilocks lived and parked his jeep Then he took a pile of letters from one of the trays in his jeep and stuffed them into a big satchel that hung from his shoulder on a strap and looked just houses then like Mama Bear’s great big purse He was a little worried today because he had to deliver to the houses of the Three Little he’d heard the Big Bad Wolf was still after them Sure enough! Just as he walked down the path from the first Little Pig’s house and up the path to the third Little Pig’s brick house out of the bushes came the Wolf! (But the Wolf didn’t bite the mailman on the leg After all the Wolf was after the Three Little Pigs Everybody knows that! And anyway this is supposed to be a happy Story) So the letter carrier just kept one eye on the Wolf while he delivered the mail to the third Little Pig’s house Then he went whistling on down the street to where Goldilocks now lived and delivered the letter from Baby Bear Nobody but Goldilocks got to read the letter but it took lots and lots of Postal workers to get it to her And the very next day Goldilocks sat and wrote a letter to Baby down Bear Dear John Letters Community Calendar Beginning June 15 Motor Vehicle Schedule: Fillmore Mon & Thurs 9 a m noon & pm Delta Wed 9 a m noon & pm Renewals any working day at Millard County Offices October Family Violence Awareness month Oct 1 - Nov 5 Prenatal Classes Delta Medical Center Classroom Thursday evenings 7:30 pm Oct 26 30 Utah Classifieds School Employees Week Oct 29 Delta City Library Board meeting 7 pm conference room “Meet your candidate night” 7 pm Statehouse Museum Fillmore “Meet your candidates” Delta Ci7:30 pm ty Council Chambers Delta High School night begins 6 pm BLOODMOBILE pm Palomar ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS Meetings: Mon 8 Wed & pm ALANON: Wed pm 8 Delta Mental Health Offices 51 North Center For info call: PR0BLEMS& Call Geno: TEENAGE Nov 2 DHS Program Sports Nutrition 7 pm Auditorium Nov 3 Nutrition Sports Program MHS 7 pm Auditorium Nov 4 Blood Pressure Clinic Delta Public Health Office am & By Nov 5 Deseret District Cub Scout Pow Wow pm Delta Utah Stake Center “All American Cub Scouts” First meeting West Millard Historical Society 7:30 pm Delta City Council Chambers Nov 6 “Children’s Dance Theatre” 7 sponpm Delta High Auditorium sored Cultural by West Millard Council Nov 11 Veteran’s Day Banquet M E Bird Center 7 pm Nov 17 Food Handlers Class Delta Public Health 2:30 pm ($500 fee) Nov 18 Food Handlers Class Fillmore Public Health Office 2:30 ($500 fee) Nov 20 Ducks Unlimited banquet social hour 6:30 pm dinner 7:30 pm M E Bird Center Nov 30 Immunization Clinic Delta Public Health Office am & PublMlai Publisher Suun Editor Dutson Editorial Carder Dawn at Large Reporter Advertising Sales Riley Wood Rita Robinson Julie I Legal Billing Sales Goerti Ward Design Office Manager Fillmore Evelyn Mallet Deb Greathouse Accounts Receivable Circulation Ward Julie Goertz Rita Krebs Circulation Comp Production Circulation Rita Robinson Circulation Commercial Production Printing j: Dutson Shellie In Advance Subscriptions 00 per year 00 per 6 months $20 00 per year 00 per 6 months cents Copy Send Address changes to In County In County $10 Out of County Out of County Single IPOSTMASTER P O Box 249 Delta Utah Advrrtw lifts ttqutsf Second Ctns PoMiff Pad 162400 or 74) $4624 M624 I i: Tiu'ti-ti- t)i —r— y Iddddddddddddddddddddddddddedi i: by Warren Ottley The customer is always right! Well maybe not ALWAYS but we believe the customer deserves better than he is getting We refer particularsome of ly to retail establishments them appear to have a policy of ignoring the customer and nis needs and we are constantly amaze J that they survive with that kind of trategy Millions of ad ertising dollars are spent by manufr turers and when the buying public r sponds they are often treated shabb y at the point of purchase Obvi' isly I have a particular incident in mind but rather than describe it and run the risk of the ofI’ll fending business being identified just let it go at that In connection with customer service there is currently a great groundswell called "The Graying of America” That means that the elderly are the new focus of national attention Life expectancy is increasing There will be a half million increase in the population 65 and over just this year 210 people in America reach 100 every week I don’t mean to imply that elderly customers should be given any more consideration than younger ones but I do mean we are becoming a greater force to be reckoned with and if we are contemptibly dealt with our business will go where it is appreciated Oddball Observation: A Ottley’s human relations lecturer reminds that nobody loses anything by being polite But there are a lot of people who seem afraid to take the risk joy Who buys a minute’s mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one fond beggar but to touch the crown Would with the scepter straight be stricken down? I’m sure that Shakespeare did not have alcohol and drug abuse in mind when he wrote those lines but they apply perfectly And the questions raised are ones that every child and adult should ask when tempted to participate Candidates for office in Fillmore City and in Delta City will have the opportunity to present their political platforms on KNAK radio on October 30 and November 2 Each candidate will have five minutes to speak Friday October 30 will be devoted to the five candidates from Fillmore Those interested are to contact Sheri Della Area Kit’d the near future I do miss having consistent and more news of Hinckley people as I am from Hinckley Thank you Harriet M Spendlove You and Your Child: activities which revolve around alcohol and drug abuse “What do I get from doing this? Is a moment’s pleasure worth all the resulting pain and deception? Am I willing to jeopardize my entire future for something of so little importance?” While these questions maybe of value to each of us as we make the decisions that direct our lives they are of pivotal significance for youth who are developing the life skills and values which are to become the foundation of their integrity and destiny “What win I if I gain the thing I seek?” How many of us really take time to ask ourselves this question before we engage in certain behaviors? Unfortunately I’m afraid we epitomize the old African saying that “Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet” Too often we fail to use any logical approach when it comes to our behavior at least until we’re in over our head At that point we may ask ourselves how we got into this mess or we may simply accept the mess In either case we lose “Who buys a minute’s mirth to wail a week?” In our society the emphasis seems to be on immediate gratification We want to feel good and we want it right now And we continue to behave in certain ways even when they result in pain until we can no longer tolerate the pain I don’t know Maybe there’s still hope for us Maybe we can learn from what’s happening to us our families and our world The frightening fact is that if we fail to do so we will indeed be selling our eternity to get a toy Success Ashworth The broadcast 10:05 am The six candidates for Delta City Council positions will have their turn on Monday November 2 at 10:05 am Those interested are to contact Ruth Rawlinson or KNAK WEttXHED Jcllm Date Oct I Fillmore Area T B) lx High The kid with more freckles than a Sunday morning flapjack took a from the quarterback He sprinted and to the right met a tackier lost five yards on the play “Wake-uGary!” a grown man screamed from the sidelines “You shoulda cut sooner You’re looking awful out there!” Gary was fueling awful without that thunderous from his Dad He knew he’d goofed Actually his dad goofed too He was expecting too much of Gary After all the kid had picked up seven slant just two yards on an plays before the disaster Even Walter Payton can’t do that every time he carries the ball The moral of that little story is this: Expect a lot of your children but not Rixrr Precp too much If a parent or teacher expects a lot from a child that child very often delivers However expecting too much of a child may lead to sad consequences The parents who expects a straight-report card or a touchfown in every game may be expecting too much So where’e the happy medium between expecting a lot but not too much? You the parents are very likely the best judge of that If your daughter fluffs a note in the school orchestra concert it isn’t the end of the planet Instead of openly criticizing your son or daughter say you’re proud of them for performing After all taking those kinds of risks with their egos requires a special kind of bravery So don’t carp They’ll get better with age Cats II: The sequel By Jillyn Smith Science Writer Utah State University I’m planning a sequel to the musical “Cats” The first “Cats” is loosely based on Eliot’s “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” People in body stockings and face paint play Bustopher Jones the fat cat Mr Mistoffelees the who lost an magical cat Growltiger ear to a Siamese Old Deuteronomy who’s buried nine wives the TS mischievous or KNAK will begin at in School by JIM CAMPBELL Utah Education Association President in Candidates to be on KNAK B well as unwise The federal government cannot solve the child care problem apwith this kind of proach Nor would it be fair for the federal government to mandate specific methods for delivering services to every state in the union When it comes to the welfare of our children Utahns should not have to negotiate with federal bureaucrats I think that concern can best be met if local organizations initiate their own child care projects Churches schools and other service clubs businesses groups should be able to develop programs which reflect the priorities and values of parents and the community And parents should have choices Child care should not be limited only to group centers operated by organizations Many parents prefer child care or child care at their place of work The bill I have introduced provides incentives for these private sector initiatives We must recognize the facts concerning today’s working families and try to eliminate the risks to our children unafforcaused by the unavailability dability or inadequacy of child care Care Services Improvement Act is a responsible realistic approach to addressing these issues I would welcome your support Sincerely Orrin G Hatch United States Senator John Waterbury Dear Readers Although I am directly and indirectly involved in numerous presentations to the community on the subject of alcoholism drug abuse and chemical dependency recently I had the opportunity to attend a very unique at Hillside Junior High and I was Brent impressed The US Attorney Ward and Hyrum Smith Chairman of the Board of the Franklin Institute united in an effort to educate the students about the consequences of alcohol and drug use There must have been about 700 in attendance and each left with a tangible reminder of the occasion in the form of a card On the card were seven lines from Shakespeare Shakespeare? You might ask why a drug presentation would include material but it was Shakespeare minutes (I timperfect And within ed him) Hyrum Smith had the whole auditorium memorize them You could feel the electricity in the air Let me share them with you What win I if I gain the thing I seek?
