be signed However disclosure would cause hardship Vital Links President by LILY ESKELSEN Utah Education Association Sharing common ground Teat hers and parents share miles and miles of common ground Parents are a child’s first teachers Teachers must use basic parenting skills to accomplish their tasks We share the joys and the pride and the hopes for our children’s accomplishments but we may also share responsibility for the development of a serious and growing problem Do these words sound familiar? “That’s no fair"“It’s not my fault ”’T just forgot" "It was an accident" I’m not suggesting that there are not valid reasons for a child to be in some sort of trouble The problem occurs when we allow the excuse valid or not to relieve the child from having to find a solution to the situation When we see the child as victim and ourselves as rescuer we fail to develop the essential skills that will mean so much to that child as an adult When Jan spills her milk when Kyle hasn’t studied for the test when a borrowed toy is broken we rush Then we tell them exactly how to solve in with a lecture on being more responsible the problem or worse yet we lake control of the situation and clean up fix pay for or omplete hatever it as that had been the topic of our lecture Y ou know The one on being responsible classrooms peer It is so easy to see our children as victims of pressure or a learning disability It’s not as easy to see them as victims of our own love and concern When a child has a problem tell him you know he is capable of in control and let him know taking finding his solution Praise him for the maturity vou’rc there to help when he has made a decision We w on’t al ay s be available w atching on the shore ready to jump in and rescue Although it takes times to develop the skills we’ve got to teach thetf how to swim so that when they’re in over their heads they can find the way to safety all by themselves Call Kate you have any news tips at if 743-451- 8

spent hours in our Iix al coffee shops listening to gossip about the downs running our county government If he'd made a phone call to Fillmore he could have got his facts right but then his story wouldn't have sounded so far fetched Fact one—our bow ling al ley manager is making not 33000 per year but a mere 23500 plus benefits (only Downtown Mafia Members make 30 big ones) Fact two- forty hours per week is considered full time employment regardless of your occupation (only horse trainers farmers restaurant managers and car salesmen put in longer hours but then one must count all their time at the coffee shop) are snick with our Fact thrcc-present form- of county officials until November when the great big change then let’s get could lake behind all these county employees and support them in their efforts to serve us June Dutson Looking to past experiences To whom it may concern Recently I was reading an Editorial in the Chronicle FYogrevs when tears came to my eyes The letter to the editor that I was weeping over was tilled “Where is Millard County Going?” As I read on through the article my mind wandered to the past (even though the article suggests the past isn’t worth remembering) and couldn't help but think the many trials and tribulations that Delta and Millard County weathered and also the many great things that happened to the city of Delta and the county of Millard in the past Now as we look to the future of Millard County and the towns of Millard I think we can lixik to broaden our future expectations by hxiking to past experiences I'm not suggesting that we live in the past I’m merely suggesting that Millard County can grow from the agree wholeheartedly with Inez past Mixxly when she says “The past is what we should rely on to get through another I would like to render this by say ing "The past is what we should rely on to get through present and future tribulations” Such as building a solid future for Millard County It is true that Hatch Farnsworth and Inez Moody are no longer Mayor and City Recorder but I feel if we look to times when great people such as Hatch Inez Perry Windsor Leo Burraston Willard Stephenson Neil Forester Clark Cox Arch Barben Bill Bishop Cecil Baker Lilly Dawson and Bevan Thompson reigned we can build a great future for Millard' hour" County Times charge I realize but if we build a basis of past experiences we can make Millard County something impressionable and important in the future So as citizens past and present of Millard County let’s reunite and have to be proud of something for Lola Farnsworth Thanks to publishing plea Dear SirMadam Thank you so much for your benevo- lent hearts and kind efforts in publishing my plea for help in your Uveal paper the Millard County Chronicle Progress My

little Energizer Bunny in the commercials that “just keeps going and going and going" Oh I do tend to w ind down now and ag ain (Sometimes I get downright exhausted) But I don’t stay down long there's too much to see to do to know I see each birthday I'm about bringing me closer to the big to attend my 30th High School Reunion I watch my friends host weddings for their and then I find myself nose down in children I wonder where the time has gone boxes of memorabilia and realize that I've lived the equivalent of three lifetimes and I begin to feel better Gratitude begins to replace the sense of loss and I revel in these brief trips down memory lane I also remind myself that being 50 years old in this country in this age is no longer considered elderly Obsessed beauty mavens are redefining our standards of a woman’s appearance and what older women are capable of Cher Jane Fonda Racquel Welch Sally Field Diana Ross Goldie Hawn Jessica Lange Ann Margaret and Barbra Stricsand arc all on the cusp of their fifth decade or beyond and they don’t seem to be slowing down expecting her third child this spring - at the age (Then there's Susan Sarandon of 45! And Elizabeth Taylor who’s just celebrated her 60th birthday) We've got local women who are role models for the perpetually young (As private citizens I doubt they’d like to be mentioned so I won’t name names You know who they are) If life begins at 40 then I’m a mere child I turn to the boxes of possessions I own Vaunt!y I struggle with the decisions of what to do with this or that As I distill I wonder whether I’ll return to airbrushing or advertising what if I decide to cater again? My tools have a history I have a proportion wheel that was given to me by Herb Fields designer of the AMF logo that you see on every bowling ball in America He and I worked together in New York City and I hold that wheel in my hands and my mind drifts back over the many adventures we shared like the time I saved his life Or the times he saved mine My thesarus still boasts of my maiden name I’ve hid it a long time It’s and has followed me from Los Angeles to Honolulu fr m New York to San Francisco It's a friend I have been entrusted with the family photographs going back to long before I was bom I have my Grandmother’s china her linens some of her clothes These are things I must keep Then there are the documentations of the many lives I’ve led: cowgirl surfer dancer designertypographer photographerillustrator activistjoumalist These touchstones are now back to photographcrreportcrwriter important keys to remind me of who I have been TS Eliot wrote “April is the crudest month" I know what he means For those of us who remember many Springs each new one aches with the reminder of the fragility of life the constant entropy that surrounds us the hope eternal which soon turns to decay But this Spring is truly a new beginning for me and I am struck by the work I've got to do My new house my work at the Chronicle my hobbies my life all leading me forward into uncharlcred decades This April does not seem cruel at all A slack of papers sits on my desk Pages and pages of lists and lists of story ideas More are being added every day I'll run out of time before I’ll ever run out of Millard County mysteries talcs and news Most of the stories are small and personal (and very important) Then there are the big ones stories that demand a lot of time energy and commitment as well as some depth of thought I hope I’rn up to the task Looks like I’ll be here awhile Millard County could very well become that I permanent home my family prays I'll find the place finally put down some roots the place where I settle in But then again maybe not Maybe I’ll keep moving popping up in the oddest someday places Like that Energizer bunny I'll keep going and going and going really leaving it all behind - A WIC program being offered The Central Utah Public Health WIC Program is a supplemental Food and Nutrition Program offered to low come women infants and children The WIC Program is funded by the US Department of Agriculture and is administered through State and Local Health Agencies Women who are pregnant breastfeeding or have just had a baby infants and children under the age of 5 may be eligible for the WIC WIC does not provide a complete diet but gives supplemental foods high in iron protein calcium and vitamins A C and D The foods include ceinfant formula fruit juice eggs milk real 100 cheese peanut butter and dried beans To qualify for WIC you must live in the county served by the local health department You must meet certain come guidelines set up by the Slate Department of Health and be pregnant breastfeeding or have children under the age of 5 If you are interested in applying for WIC you may call the clinic for an appointment at the Public Health Department 252 West Main Delta Utah We are open between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm Monday Otrough Friday The phone number for this clinic is WIC is an equal opportunity program If you believe you have been discriminated against because of race color national origin age sex or handicap write immediately to the administrator Food and Nutrition Services 3101 Park Center Drive Alexandria VA 22302 Medicare beneficiaries Anne B Smith RN of Utah Peer Review Organization (UPRO) will be at the Fillmore Community Medical Center Monday April 6 at 5:00 pm and at the Delta Community Medical Center Tues April 7 at 1000 am to discuss the rights and responsibilities of medicare beneficiaries She will also answer questions about the medicare program If you ere a Medicare beneficiary yourself or know someone who is you should understand the government’s hospital payment system and how it affects your care Ms Smith would especially like to invite children or spouses of beneficiaries to attend this informational meeting since they must frequently handle all the paperwork and questions Inez Sez Who? What? Am I an old "Has Been” or an “Ah Waz 7” Is it possible that I’ve no true identity any longer? And am I now part “Old Has Been" and part "Ah Waz" with no true bloodline cux ahm a tctch of Cherokee Indian and a lot of Irish a dab of Scotch Welch and a dab of French? Hey! Ah’vc got it Ah think Ah’m a Heinz57 sort of female that sometimes cries and laughs at the wrong times and ah talks loo much and too fast Being a Heinz 57 is no easy life for ah’m always trying to get rid of weaknesses and that is a real struggle But the part of me that admits to being an old “Has Been" is absolutely convinced lhal'lis better to be an “Old Has Been" than a "Young Has Been” or a young “Never Been" Ah’m convinced to be called an "Old Has Been” is actually a compliment for it infers that a person has lived a noteworthy life up to a point but because of age andor health the “Old Has Bcens" do not owe an apology to anyone of any age or in any position The “Old Has Bcens" of this area set standards of conduct supported good causes served people advocates paid their dues in dozens of ways Now can a “Young Has Been" claim more? Nay Nay Sometimes a female Heinz 57 wears shoes too tight and lipstick too red and frequently a male "Has Been" wears trousers too short neglects to shave every day and could care less if his shoes are polished or not But us Heinz 57crs could care less whether you like our looks or not For we kind know our worth and generally speaking are comfortable being "Heinz 57ers and we know inside we’re the pure stuff You ask "stuff’ as in "stuff and nonsense?” No way Baby no way!"
