Vol. 4 No. 41 Thursday, November 4, 1982 20 cents a single copy GOP wins Mg ! Sim local rac ' By MARC HADDOCK ,. ., ,..To Democrats were celebrating in Utah County Wednesday morning, But the Republicans were.

In the county races, Jeril Wilson defeated James Mangum with 63 percent of the vote, William Huish outpolled Wanda Scott with 71 percent of the vote, and Mack Holley captured 66 percent to defeat challenger Michael Ferre.

Don LeBaron won a 56 percent voter approval to defeat David Harvey for State Representative District 58. In the Alpine School District, Nancy Williamson was edging Leon Walker slightly and was expected to win by a slim margin. In the State Board of Education race, local voters rejected Afton Healey, giving her opponent Donald Christensen 52 percent of the votes. Salt Lake County voters involved in that race were reported to be doing the same, and Christensen is ex-pected to win that race.

Advisory council to meet new night Members of the Pleasant Grove Educational Advisory Council de-cided Tuesday night to change the monthly meeting time to the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. beginning in Dec. Newly elected chairman of the council, Bernell Taylor, suggested that a series of committees be formed to make a study of several items for the council. He has asked that any members of the community who would like to serve on these committee notify him at home at 785-405- 6 or at his office, 785-555- The committees are private schools, languages, graduation requirements, neighborhood watch, text books and library expansion, school attendance, board communi-cations, publicity, careers, and extra-curricular activities. The objective of forming these committees, he said, is to find the needs of the community in regards to the school and relay this information to the school district. A task force which has been asked by the school district to provide a plan for correlation of citizen input to the schools through advisory coun-cils will review its proposal with the board on Nov. 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the school board office. The public is invited to attend. (Continued on page 2) I Jin Charge' program Children prepare to protect selves .

It is alay jl Pl eParing the children will "thefe f tne fear that now exists of a child being taken away or the fear of a child being abused. ; There are many ways a child can be taught and prepared how to prevent or react properly to situations that i are threatening.. : One way we should try to avoid, according to Dr. Sherry Aronoff, clinical psychologist, is scare tactics. Dr. Aronoff works especially with children and families at the Utah Center for Mental Health and Family Relations in Prnvo. "Children can become scared if adults are scared themselves," she said. Such fears, if allowed to build, she said, can lead to social im-mobilization and a preoccupation with fearful thoughts to the point of the child not being able to concentrate on other every day activities. She feels it could be very debilitating to a child. An alternative to scaring a child is to teach the child how to cope by presenting him with factual in formation in a matter-of-fac- t way. If done appropriately, the lesson becomes as elementary as the alphabet and it is felt that reactions will become as automatic as the reciting of the 26 letters. The schools make a good setting for presenting the material in a way. The "You're In Charge" program brought to the schools is highly en-dorsed by the Utah Education Association, the Utah State PTA, the State Board of Ecuation, Dr. Aronoff, Mrs. Ronda Arnold, executive director of Crisis Line in Provo, Lindon Elementary Principal Eugene Maag, that school's PTA president, Karen Van Orden, and many parents who participated last week when it was brought to that school. The program was conceived by Susan Cameron and Daryl Barrett, two mothers in Salt Lake working on a PTA Safety and Welfare Committee in 1978. It has grown in popularity and is now taken throughout the state. When it is brought to the schools, parents are given the opportunity of seeing it before it is presented to the children. Then they have the right to decide whether they want their children to participate in it. About 60 parents turned out at the Lindon School to view the program and vote on it, a relatively low number according to Mrs. Arnold. The emphasis of the video recor-ding is to teach children that they do have some control over their en-vironment and they do not have to agree to someone's demands just because they are an adult. They learn from role plays what to do when going to and from school, ' while at play, when home alone, while babysitting or being babysat, and when a stranger or someone they know approaches them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable.

He explained that one month water users will receive a minimum billing. The next month will have the actual meter reading for the two month period. Any water used over the minimum billing will be added to the bill when the meter has been read, he said. He urged water users to check their water system for leaks now. The sewer rate next summer will be based on the water usage during this winter.
