Show LcirvtiSKjb Review LAKESIDE Tuesday, Apnl 21 , 1998 7 This week, turn off that television By SUSAN TANNER HOLMES correspodent Standard-Examin- FARMINGTON . - National studies show children spend an average of four hours a day watching TV, as compared to only 39 minutes a week spent by children in meaning- conversation with parents. .This week is TV Turnoff Week and is designed to help get parents and children out from in front of the TV and doing different ful things. , Some of the major benefits of turning off the TV for this week are spending more time reading with family members and participatsaid Helene Van ing in physical activities, Natter, principal at Monte Vista Elementary. Schools and libraries throughout Davis County are organizing special activities to help children utilize that extra four hours in more meaningful ways. Some are offering drawing contests with prizes, others are participating in genealogy workshops, and some are hosting reading pizza parties. Monte Vista is hosting a NASA activities week with an assembly, making of solar systems, rockets, star charts and a fami . ly stargazing night. There is much a family can do on its own, said Karen Schleifer, principal at Farmington Elementary. Families can visit the library, read a book together, play a game, go to the park - there is so much to do. The statistics on TV violence are frightening, Schleifer said. Kids learn from seeing violence on TV and it affects their lives. When choosing the kind of TV you should allow your children to watch, I would suggest something that stimulates their thinking. If they just sit there and not use their braifi, its a mistake. Children need something that is challenging the brain and stimulating the mind, said Schleifer. The National Association of Elementary School Principals suggests parents try some of the following activities during the week: Set an example. Turn off the TV, especially when eating or engaged in other activities. Select specific programs for information or entertainment. Dont watch adult programs when children are present. Dont use TV as a babysitter. Keep interesting items handy as an alternative to TV, such as jigsaw puzzles, board games, crayons, American pencils, paper, books and magazines. Schedule daily activities. Teach children schedule in by planning a daily after-schowhich TV fills only a small block of time or none at all. Plan a weekly TV schedule showing each childs choice and family programming and stick to it. Use TV to teach. Watch programs together and talk about them. Help explain the difference between news and entertainment, reality and Monitor programming by keeping the TV in a central location where you can keep an eye on what is being watched. Children should not have TV sets in their bedrooms. Encourage other activities. Promote exercise, hobbies, crafts, reading, playing games, tending pets, helping with household tasks, doing homework, keeping a journal and writing letters. Look for good TV. There are many fine programs including concerts, plays, sports events, nature and wildlife shows, animated films and some movies. ,7,..J BftstS TTX fWfUwrftlitr make-believ- Dr. Dave Tensmeyer TOPIC: "Living Successfully With Diabetes" A special invitation to young people growing up with diabetes from a doctor w ho has done it.

New attorney sought FARMINGTON - A Clinton man accused of sexually assaulting four teenage girls says his family has run out of money and he cant afford to take his case to trial without the aid of a public defender. Paul Grant, a private attorney for Alex Lopez, stood with his client Tuesday, April 14, in court and asked 2nd District Court Judge Jon Memmott to excuse him from the case. Lopez, 40, who has been in jail since last September, has rejected a plea bargain. Grant said he has only paid him enough to help Lopez through a plea agreement. Lopez has had three different attorneys since charges were filed. Memmott expressed concern about having a new attorney step in at such a late point in the case, but said he would allow the switch if Grant instructed public defender Troy Rawlings on every aspect of the case. Lopez, along with his wife, Barbara Lopez, 39, face multiple felony charges including felony counts of child rape, object rape, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sexual abuse. Barbara Lopez is poised to accept a plea bargain.

Drysdale, son of David Robert and Nadine Smith Drysdale of West Point, has earned the Arrow of Light award. appeared in court Tuesday, Apnl 14, with his attorney, Davis public defender Glen Celia, to update the court on the status of his case. Police allege that on Oct. 29, 1996, Rettenberger, along with Scott Jeremy Johnson, shot and killed motel clerk and father of two John Whicker during a botched armed robbery. Police later managed to get a confession out of Rettenberger, who also implicated his friend Johnson in the crime, but Rettenberger now claims that Woods Cross Police detectives coerced the confession by refusing to let him call an attorney and by making comments about the death penalty and ways of carrying out executions. With their key piece of evidence tied up in the Supreme Court, Davis prosecutors said they had little choice but to drop charges against Johnson, who demanded a jury trial. Prosecutors said the confession was the only evidence they had linking Johnson to the murder, but they do plan to charges if the confession is cleared by the high court Johnson claimed he was dropped off at his parents house before Rettenberger allegedly committed the crime. Celia said Rettenberger is coping well inside the jail and has been a model inmate ever since he was charged in an alleged attempted gang rape of another inmate last winter. A review hearing for Rettenberger has been scheduled for 3939 Harrison BlvdJOgden e.
