Show Pams Place Well, if it is true that a change is as good as a rest, then I am sitting in a relaxed position right now in- t I deed. It was fun to take s few months off from deadlines and die pressure's that come with working on a news-pape- r. s However, rest assured that I was not just sitting home relaxing during that time frame. I was working once again with the public only this time as a grocery clerk. It was a nice place to work as the employers and employees were once again nice people. Something that I have been blessed with to have in my various establishments of yeg r. Moving right along - family is important to me and it was really fun to take part in a family reunion on my fathers side recently. It was extra special this year as one of my Uncle's had recently got- ten married (at age 85). One of my Aunt's and Uncle's were celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary and- - County Library Corner - Kamas-Summ- it ployment. I was also able to witness the birth of yet another darling opps handsome little grandson. Kwaylon was bom into the world 2 weeks ago weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz and was 20 inches tall. Our family that began as five little boys has now grown into having two daughter's in law and now five grandchildren ( yes, there is one little girl mixed in there somewhere). We are also excitedly anticipating the arrival of yet another grandson set to make his arrival my special Dad celebrated his 83rd birthday, I feel fortunate indeed to be part of such a terrific group of family members.

Because of the diversity of these three areas, programs are being proposed and planned to fit the individual community. Various teen tobacco programs are currently being used throughout the State. In Summit County, schools, law enforcement agencies, juvenile court and the County Health Department are developing plans which will work in each of die three separate school districts. Lastly, the TTRP is not intended to be a stem fist program. Rather it is designed to reduce court appearance and provide youth tobacco user's with skills to stop smoking and develop better decision making skills. Tobacco is commonly termed a gateway drug meaning that adolescents commonly begin experimenting with tobacco. If we can intervene in this early stage of experimentation hopefully we can reduce the use and abuse of other drugs. If you have further questions on this matter, you may contact Steve Jenkins, Health Director, at 1 or Geri Essen, Health Educator at Dear Editor: In response to your article in the Sept. 12 issue of The Summit County Hee regarding the pilot tobacco project for North Summit High School, we noticed a few errors which arc misleading to county residents. First, according to the Stephen Barr study which was quoted. Summit County is not twice as high as the State average in teen tobacco use. The State average is 12.4 and Summit County is 12.S only three of the thirteen planning districts are lower than Summit County. Second, the "whooping" 18.7 percent of high school seniors that was reported was in the area of smokeless tobacco. Please keep in mind that this survey asked if the individual reported use of the product in the past month not if they were a regular user. Smokeless tobacco is a bigger problem in rural areas and this is definitely being considered in programs that are being developed. Third, die proposed Teen Tobacco Reduction Program (TTRP) is still in the draft form.

And more and more of them, because of the serious degree of their crimes, are becoming certified to stand trial as adults. Many as young as 16 years of age. A lot of them are being represented by alibis of" lawyers who continually hack away at the worn-o," broken homes." "abused as a child," "failed by society," and lots of other causes. Some of these, undoubtedly, are legitimate, some frivolous defenses. are questionable, and others are down-rigBut my theory is, that in all too many cases, if Mom and Dad had been more attentive, more authoritative, and more conscientious early on - and invoked heavier disciplinary action, there would have been far fewer teenage criminals standing before judges in today's court rooms. Schools take a lot of flack for young hoodlums becoming young hoodlums, and the consensus seems to be that "My kids are in school more hours per week than they are in any other place, so, therefore, they should be taught more, there, about right and wrong. Aftewall, isn't that what education is all about?" Well, yeah, that's part of what it's about, but how many parents are part of the group who, when little Mortimer is caught at some egregious task, exclaim, "Whaaat? My son? Are you nuts? I'll have your job for this you dirty brack-- a brack." Parents who seriously listen to complaints about their children and then take appropriate actions are becoming more difficult to find nowadays. Maybe if s because they have let minor childish infractions become nothing more than "cute" things that "all kids do..." My wife and I were fortunate, a dozen or so years ago, to have a very special event happen in our office. Well call her Mary Jane, and she had her daughter. drive to our Coalville Elizabeth, with her. They had taken the office, and while her mother was transacting business with us, Elizabeth wandered into my wife's craft store, which occupied half of our building. craft items and numerous chilDazzled by the hundreds of brightly-colore- d dren's toys, she was in a dream world until her mother said. "Come on, Elizabeth, ifs time to go." Imagine our surprise when, about an hour later, they walked back into our office, Mary Jane was upset, and Elizabeth, crying, was in her mother's arms, We asked what was the matter, and Mary Jane said, "Elizabeth has something to show you." The little girl reached into her pocket arid pulled out a small, plastic toy. The look on her face was pure devastation. "She took this from your store, and we have had a serious talk about it. 1 don't think she realized this was stealing. But she does now," her mother stated. "The three of us talked about this - she and I and her father - and de-- cided that she had to bring this toy back and tell you she was sorry," Elizabeth was really sobbing by now, and try as she might, she could not say the words. After some time, I finally broke the silence. "Elizabeth," I said, "We know you feel badly, and we know that you wont do this again. But you know what we'd like to have you do?. When you get home today, we'd like you to draw us a picture of yourself, and be sure to coin your hair the beautiful red that it is. And draw it with a smiley-fac- e, because you have done what is right - Oh yes, and you can ask Momma to help you write the words, 'I'm sorry,' on it." A day or two later the mail brought us a ' child's drawing of a smiling girl (complete with six toes on each foot). Across the bottom - and up the side - were the meticulously, fairly legible, scrawlings of the words, fPm sorry. I love you, Elizabeth. ' XOXOXQ." Weve kept it as a very special memento all these years. Every once in awhile we get it out and read it. What Parents! What a mother, and what an example! It helps us realize that there are still those kinds of folks out there folks who use the types of altitudes we need to adopted, the simple realization of what's right and the desire to act upon that fact.
