Show Volume VI, Issue VI THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 17 July 1, 2002 WOAD-A-THON cont. from page 16 Devil, Dyer’s Woad spreads its evil and we must do what we can to help stop it!” Tim Turner, an Elder and sponsor of the youth said, “We’re thankful for the opportunity to help, especially with something that is so difficult to get under control. We’re doing two things at once, helping out the community while the kids learn a little bit about work ethic. When they get tired of cleaning up the dyer’s woad, I remind them of the Colorado fellowship trip and what they’re here for. This helps them keep pulling, swinging the blade, and stuffing the dyer’s woad in the bags. We appreciate the effort and community donations, all for a good cause.” How much has been collected? At least 138 bags and counting! This is a tremendous effort that will contribute a great deal to youth activities this summer. What can you do to help? Pull or cut dyer’s woad in your area before the brown/black seeds are formed. Educate your neighbors and friends about how important it is to help. Participate in – or organize – a Dyer’s Woad-a-thon for your neighborhood or organization!

Photographs and Soft Sculpture at Your Library The Lorna Wattis Swanson Gallery at the Ogden Valley Branch Library currently features the work of two Ogden Canyon artists. Visitors may enjoy photographs by Paul W. Muller, and soft sculpture by Arlene Bachman Muller. Paul and Arlene Muller live in Ogden Canyon and are co-managers of The Carriage House Gallery at the Eccles Art Center in Ogden. Paul Muller is a former member of the Board of Directors of the Ogden Color Camera Club. He has won Honors and Best of Show prizes in city, state, and national competitions. Ogden Valley is the site for many of his photographs, some of which were shown at his exhibit last year in Germany. His beautiful photography is often published in the Ogden Valley News as Picture of the Month and in Ogden Valley News calendars. Arlene Bachman Muller has been sewing dolls and stuffed animals for years. As a child, she used her sewing ability to express her sense of humor. The pieces have been exhibited in gift shops and art galleries in Ogden and Salt Lake City. A number of her dolls and animal patterns have been reproduced in Peppermint Daydreams, published by Chapelle Publishing, Ogden, Utah. The hallmark of her original designs is her attention to detail such as fine lace, hand-stitching and lifelike expressions. See the work of these wonderful talents at the Ogden Valley Library through August 13, 2002. Instilling the Joy of Reading in a Child (NAPSI)-Educational experts agree that the more children read, the more they’ll enjoy reading, and the better readers they’re likely to become. Parents can play a key role in helping their child become a life-long reader by instilling the joy of reading from an early age. Educational experts recommend that parents spend at least one hour per week—or 10 to 15 minutes a day-reading with children as young as preschool-age. “Reading is an important life skill, and source of great personal enjoyment,” says Dr. Richard Bavaria, Ph.D., vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center, the nation’s leading provider of supplemental education services. “But reading skills and habits develop young, so it’s important for parents to encourage their children’s love of reading at an early age. Spending an hour a week reading with your children inside and outside your home can foster a lifetime of reading.” Instilling the joy of reading can start with preschoolers. Dr. Bavaria recommends that parents set aside time for reading aloud to their child, pointing to the words on the page as they are spoken, and encouraging children between ages four and seven to recognize words themselves. Reading aloud continues to be important with grade school children, as it helps them to develop language skills. Encouraging talk and discussion with a child also contributes to language development skills and can help with reading. Grade school is the time to introduce a child to the local public library, and expand reading to include newspapers and magazines. Parents can also designate shelves in their child’s room for a child’s own home library. “Don’t forget to read outside the home as well,” Dr. Bavaria adds. “There are many opportunities to read to your child—and have them read back to you—as you’re running errands, attending events and dining out.” Parents can also take advantage of reading opportunities on the Internet. For example, Book Adventure is a free interactive reading motivation program sponsored by Sylvan Learning Center, and found online at www.bookadventure.org. Students choose their own books, take short comprehension quizzes and redeem their accumulated points for small prizes.
