Job Corps emphasizing social skills Weber Basin students learning how to get along with others to get ahead in life By CHERYL BUCHTA Standard Examiner Davis Bureau SOUTH WEBER Its a warm summer evening and a group of girls are sitting on the floors and ' beds in the small dorm room talking about rewarding themselves. , Cheryl turned in $10 she found on the steps. Ten dollars is like a million to Job Corps students, dorm advisor Diane Mom Higley tells the girls. It takes a hell of a person to turn that in. , People dont always reward you for doing the right thing, so give yourself a pat on the back, Higley tells the new recruit.

So a friend down the way tosses her a pack of cigarettes and says dont worry about paying them back. Its Wednesday night at Weber Basin Job Corps Center. And that means Social Skills Training classes. Last week the sessions dealt with fear. Next week the topic may be as simple as learning how to say thank you or to compliment others. Every week, the students meet with their dorm mates for 30 minutes to talk about life and how to live it successfully. manSo what does ners and communication skills have to do with job skills? Everything, says center director Roger Mullins. Thats why Job Corps centers across the country instituted a formal social skills training program a year ago. We knew from our failures that it was not because of (lack of) eduMullins says. cation or basics, They were not able to adjust so self-estee- cially and social issues were costing them their jobs. Down at Custer dorm, the guys have a different slant to the same message. Resident advisor Mel Davis reminds them of the good things they accomplished since coming to Job Corps. Simple things like passing a driving test. Like having the confidence to talk to any young lady they see. Dont be afraid to toot your own horn," Davis tells the guys. Because the world loves a winner. When you fill out a job application, show your General Education Diploma because it denotes responsibility, he says. See SKILLS on page 2 Reyna It began Aug. 19 when, while investigating a car accident in Clearfield. Reyna and officer Dick Martin spotted Brooks' tour bus in a car wash and offered to help the large vehicle get through the heavy traffic and onto the freeway. In appreciation for their help Brooks autographed some pictures and handed them out a window to the officers We knew who he was." Reyna recalled. We all listen to country music except the officer he handed that was Dick Martin " them to He said Martin didnt recognize the singer at first and gave Brooks a polite but puzzled thank you." until he looked at the photos and recognized Brooks. But he's a Garth Brooks fan now," Reyna joked. Coincidentally, that same night Reyna worked security at the Delta Center where Brooks performed while Reynas wife and mother, whom he bought tickets for, were m the audience. The detectives involvement with the country singer might have ended there except the following Saturday morning, he and his family were passing the Ogden Park Hotel while grocery shopping when they spotted the bus and saw Brooks helping load his luggage He said he pulled into the hotel parking lot and introduced his wife and three children to Brooks, who recognized him from the car wash He came out and he spent 20 minutes with us, Reyna said, adding that Brooks introduced the Reyna family to his wife and baby daughter. We just talked about what it was like being on the road and he asked about the area, he recalled He's just a real nice guy. Brooks also autographed pictures for the kids and signed his wifes white blouse thats now never going to be worn again," Reyna said Proposed road connection concerns neighbors By KATHY KELLY Standard Examiner correspondent KAYSVILLE Fears about crowding and more traffic have stirred some residents into opposing more housing and street development near their formerly quiet Standard Examiner neighborhoods The residents are upset about the citys plan to connect a dead-en- d street. Hods Drive, with Westbrook in order to allow access into Coventry subdivision which is still under development The residents say the road extension will bring more traffic into their area endangering children City officials say that the subdivision needs an auess road and that the plan has been on the citys master plan for several years. Other families who live in the nearby unincorporated area are facing annexation into the Kaysville city limits and some feel the cost of extra taxes will outweigh the benefits Homeowners around the Boynton Road area have refused to lend their support toward the annexation proposal, and a public hearing previously scheduled for Sept 7 at the Kaysville city building has been canceled because the required number of signatures from citizens have not been received In past city council action discussion has revolved around developers who purchased around 105 acres of unincorporated land to build Coventry subdivision. About 30 acres of that has already been annexed into the city. As the subdivision develops, a proposal to eventually connect Boynton Road with Hods Drive may also be considered. The development involves Covand 2 that will be entry phase built between Mutton Hollow Road and Hods Drive, east of Fairfield Road and behind Morgan Elemen1 tary School City Administrator John Thacker said the council went beyond the subdivision plats, and included a street extension on Westbrook that will connect it with Bay Aaron Rose of Bountiful has Kui named Multicultural I reshnian Studinl of the Year I sihool year by lor the the Multicultural ( enter at t t.i h State Inisirsits.
