Mallory t; step-stoo- A family gallery I went into a home not long ago that was open and spa- cious, immaculate and beautiful. Since clutter and spaciousness dont seem to mix well, this house had an answer to a family gallery. I noticed that photos of the family lines the false wall space above the kitchen cupboards. ;A11 the pictures were the same size and hung evenly along this area. It was a wonderful way to fill that space and a very practical way of using pictures. As kitchen cabinets are being designed, think strongly -- about making that space above the cabinets into more cabinets. One thing a kitchen rarely has enough of is cupboards. So utilize that space for more cupboards, regardless of what the carpenter wants to tell you.

For her it was better to bring the dilemma out in the open than to fight with the person who was said to have circulated the tale. A girl who wanted Amanda to break up with her boyfriend started the rumor, Amanda told the two peer mediators in the privacy of the principals office. How did that make you feel? asked Kay Dee Weaver, one of the mediators. at North Davis Kay Dee, an eighth-gradJunior High, and Andrea Painter, a seventh-grade- r, were helping Amanda and Katee Staab, work through a problem. I didnt call him and Im not trying to take him away. I dont even know his number. She doesnt appreciate me. We used to be best friends, replied Katee. I heard you call me names in the hall, Amanda said. I was playing games with her, she calls me names, Katee replied. CLEARFIELD er . You both started it now maybe one of you should stop it, Amanda advised. I know you two guys have been good friends for a long lime, Andrea said. Tell your boyfriend you cant be friends any more if he tries to break you up. Following a mild discussion, the two girls agreed to apologize to each other. I think it was basically a misunderstanding, said Kay Dee. Can you still be friends? Katee immediately answered yes but Andrea said it would take a while. They told each other they were sorry and instead of shaking hands, they hugged each other. A hug is even better, Andrea said. Kay Dee began filling out papers about the rumors Amanda had heard. She wrote that the girls had agreed to be friends and not listen to rumors without consulting the other person. This was an easy conflict to mediate, according to the peer mediators, who have had experiences with other students who became angry. Vice Principal Randy Jensen had heard that a program with peer mediators was working in another school district and wanted to try it at NDJH. So last summer he looked into the program and signed up to take a class in conflict management. fund-raisin- 776-150- 0. iTOPY more information eall Sherry-Aldric- h at The Division of Child and Family Services needs volunteers to help Utah's children as a project director or volunteer coordinator.

In January of this year, he began the program at his school. The student mediators were nominated and voted on by the other students, the faculty and slalT. Thirty students were elected as mediators, but three of them have moved, leaving 27 who take turns mediating conflicts. Those elected spent hours after school and gave up a Saturday to get training in the position. They had to learn the conflict management process and how to facilitate, explained Jensen. Part of their job as facilitators is to fill out a report on the mediation and have the students with the problem sign an agreement. If something comes out that is against the law or if someones safety is at stake, they report it to the principal or Jensen. There are always two or more mediators working with those students who have a problem. They sit between the students and follow a script with the first question asked being Do you want to solve the problem? If they don't agree to solve it then the case isnt even heard. Once they agree, they meet in a private room without any adults. The students agree that there will be no interrup- See MEDIATE6 information contact Nedra 7.
