Extractions: The tireless effort! Utah nurses make their mark at Winter Olympics by Susan Trossman, RN At the XIX Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, great athletes like U.S. short track skater Apolo Anton Ohno, Canadian pairs skaters Jamie Sale and David Peltier, and Croatian giant slalom skier Janica Kostelic were front and center. But behind the scenes, there were scores of judges, Olympic officials and other event organizers, overt and covert security staff and some 170 nurse volunteers. The nurses, including RNs from the Utah Nurses Association (UNA), were among the roughly 1,400 health care personnel on hand at the Winter Games to provide acute and preventive care, as well as to lend their expertise for other tasks. UNA member Sylvia McKee was one of 170 nurses who volunteered their time and talent during the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Their efforts, however, did not just start Feb. 8 when the Olympic torch was officially lit. UNA members and other nurses were intimately involved in planning for the future health care needs of visitors to their fair city. In early 1997, a core group of UNA nurses decided they wanted RNs to take an active role in the upcoming Olympics. Realizing it was a huge undertaking, they invited representatives from nursing specialty organizations, Sigma Theta Tau International chapters, area hospitals and other practice settings to participate in a spring brainstorming summit, according to UNA member Sylvia McKee, MN, RN, BC.

Extractions: Times-News Correspondent Juab School District board members have some concern about the consistency, year to year, of the methods used to re-accredit schools. Superintendent Kirk Wright and board member, Delanie Hathaway, attended the last state school board meeting to complain about the way the accreditation is conducted and results compiled. "The upshot is that our patrons need to know we are certified and we will remain certified," said Leon Pexton, Juab School Board president. "We intend to resolve any issues and are pledged to maintain a high standard of education for those who attend our schools." The Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges issued the warning to nine Utah schools recently for having too few teachers, counselors, librarians or administrators for the number of students they serve per professional educator. Juab High School was one of nine Utah high schools warned to make changes or they may lose their national accreditation.

Extractions: Vol.8 No.2 Summer 1994 It's March 16, 1994 and as the plane circles to land at the Los Angeles airport, I can see the extensive damage done by the recent earthquake. When we touch down, the pilot, after the usual announcements welcoming us to Los Angeles, says Live Long and Prosper! Whether he is referring to the earthquake or just trying to be humorous is unclear. No one pays any attention. Did the reference to Star Trek elude everyone or did they just not care? In April, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed into law The Goals 2000: Educate America Act. This bill details what USA school children ought to be taught and tested on in certain subjects. States will get federal money - $400 million - to develop performance and content standards, along with local governments and school districts. The bill encourages voluntary "content standards" in nine core subjects, English, mathematics, history, science, foreign language, civics, economics, arts and geography. The standards for Arts will include Media Literacy at all primary and secondary levels and so Goals 2000 becomes an important element in discussions on Media Literacy across the USA. California plans to introduce new legislation on media literacy in their war against television violence. Hawaii sees media literacy as something to help prevent racism. North Carolina, Florida, and New Mexico are other states which have educational legislation promoting media literacy.
