Show NEWS AUGUST 27, 2012 A3 Graduate shares her story about multiple personalities Going green and blue at UVU UVU Recycling notes an increase in usage of blue recycling bins around campus By Mallory Black Assistant News Editor PHOTO COURTESY OF JUDY BYINGTON Judy Byington's recently released book, "Twenty-Two Faces," features Miss UVU runner-up Jenny Hill, who shares her abusive past in writing. By Emily Stephenson on the loose. "I met her about 17 years ago," said Byington. "I had been an Alberta Canada Mental Health Supervisor, then Director of Provo Family Counseling Center and counseled several ritually abused women who carried multiple personalities." Byington explained that since Jenny was not allowed to process her stressful experiences in order to cope, her thinking patterns separated into 22 multiple personalities. According to Byington, each year in the U.S. over six million children are investigated for physical, sexual or emotional abuse, and it is estimated that millions more go unreported. News Editor UVU graduate and Miss UVU runner-up Jenny Hill recounts her experiences with ritual abuse and her multiple personalities in the newly "Twenty-Two Faces: Inside the Extraordinary Life of Jenny Hill and Her Twenty-Two Multiple Personalities" by Judy Byington. Byington and Hill have been piecing together the book for the past 20 years since Hill had been seeing Byington, a former therapist, for treatment. Hill wanted to write and felt that her experiences of abuse could help others. Hill has received various threats about publishing her book. For the past 17 years, Byington and Hill have been piecing together Jenny's biography. Since the age of 7, Hill has written her experiences in journals, feeling that in doing so, she could eventually help others. Hill claims that as a 5-year-old she was raped, tortured, watched another child be murdered and was threatened with death if she told anyone. Her perpetrators are still "Multiple personalities are always caused by child abuse," said Byington. "It has to do with the child's developing brain, severity of the abuse and whether or not they are locked into a traumatic situation from which they can't escape." "Since the Salt Lake Tribune and Utah Daily Herald articles about "Twenty-Two Faces" were published three weeks ago, I've about them, or refuse to recognize had nine ritual abuse survivors ask the problem," said Byington. for free counseling through our Hill received almost straight As website, www.22faces.com ," said while attending UVU and graduatByington. ed as an LPN.

After asking a second time if he had any firearms, Kraig remembered the gun and said yes. Jacobson was taken into custody while Kevin waited overnight. "The guards told me that he wouldn't be in there very long," Kevin said. "All the guards at the border said that they'd probably just confiscate the gun, kick us out and let us on our way, but that didn't happen." Kraig Jacobson was held at the Niagara Detention Center for 18 days before being released on bail. Kevin stayed nearby, visiting his brother in jail twice a week. A hearing for the case against Jacobson is set for January 24, 2013. Kraig is not allowed to hold a job or leave Ontario for the next five months. Jacobson was enrolled as a student for fall semester at Utah Valley University, but since the incident, withdrew from his classes. He was in line for a promotion at work and had signed a new lease for an apartment near UVU. Mitch Mallory, a friend of Jacobson, has set up a petition for his release.

"I have never tried to park without a permit myself, but I have had friends that have, and they always get ticketed," said Amy Rose, a deaf studies major. "I wouldn't ever even try and park at school with out a permit cause I would be more afraid of being booted or towed." Communications major Zack Dearing has the same fear of being ticketed. "I have tried parking on campus without a permit. It definitely scares me because I hate getting tickets, but I have only gotten a few.

She explains that there is a fear behind the anger and you can discover what that fear is. Byington advises that victims try to forgive those who wronged them and research ways to over come their fears. "Believe in yourself, know that you are a Child of God," said Hill. "He wants you to be happy. No matter the challenge you can overcome anything if you set your mind on it."

Parking fines double after 10 days, and violators can expect an extra $10 late fee for an unpaid ticket after 40 days. Citations carry over from semester to semester and can be contested up to 10 days after first issued. Once a parking citation reaches its late date for non-payment, or escalation period, a student's registration and access to transcripts can be held. Some lesser known offenses include parking a motorcycle in a car stall, parking overnight, and reusing a previous citation. We've all done it, thrown our trash into the blue recycling bins instead of the garbage cans around campus. While inadvertent as it may be, plenty of work, and pride, goes into UVU Recycling on campus. More than 110 pounds of aluminum are recycled every month at UVU. Even more astonishing, an average of 18,000 to 20,000 pounds of paper make their way into the blue bins each month from the hands of employees, students and staff. "We have seen more usage of recycling bins around campus and have had to hire additional help to keep up with the daily pick-up of the bins," said Joel Herd, assistant director of the Sorenson Student Center. Herd now oversees UVU Recycling. Cardboard recycling has also notably increased. UVU was recognized by Greenwise Business, an organization that promotes green business practices, for recycling 37.72 tons of cardboard in 2010 and 26.32 tons of cardboard in 2011. UTAII VALLEY UVU UNIVERSITY Herd said that both UVU staff and students seem to be making an effort to recycle more around campus. "I believe we are a recycle-friendly campus and we have tried to place recycle bins in as many areas as we can," Herd said. For some students though, recycling in blue bins has caused some slight confusion. "I recycle paper in the computer labs because it is convenient with the recycle bin right by the printers," said David Fullmer, a communications major. "But I don't recycle in the rest of campus because there aren't clearly marked receptacles. Sure, there might be color-coded bins, but while most of the time green means recycle, in residential areas, blue means recycle and green means trash. There needs to be more indication." Though it is unknown how many students actually recycle and may run into similar issues on campus, most students seem to support recycling in general. "Yes, I recycle. Go green by recycling and having UVU pride!" said Cori Fox, a communications major. Skyler Clark, a biology major, shares a similar yet wistful sentiment toward going green. "I recycle every chance I'm given that opportunity, but I do not find enough opportunities to be a full-time recycler," Clark said. "How I wish we could have that opportunity." The school's recycling program is funded through UVU administration. Currently, no student fees are applied to the operational or maintenance costs of the UVU Recycling program.
