The two spoke Tuesday during a teaching seminar at Wausau West High School. Math Hmong, Indians urge parental ties to math By Mary Jo Kewley Wausau Daily Herald Educators are working to keep the family in Family Math.

Representatives from the Hmong and American Indian communities told teachers Tuesday to keep parents informed about a new math program that encourages parents to work with their children on math-related activities. Ball State University professor Charles Payne said the program aims at increasing math skills and promoting cultural understanding among female, minority and white students. "The most important thing we can do is learn to live with each other," he said. Sharon Cloud, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Native American Center, recommended that teachers get to know the student's families. "Just because the student is Indian doesn't mean they maintain ties with culture," Cloud said.

"And different tribes have different traditions." Hmong community leader Tou Xiong Lor said teachers can go one step further. He suggested teachers hold a conference with parents to introduce the program. Lor also said teachers should provide information to the family's clan leader, who can then advise other family members about the program. "Parents get instruction in language, not math. It's a good program, but they don't know about it," Lor said.

Robin Butterfield, an Indian education specialist with the Oregon Department of Education, recommended that teachers be prepared to discuss cultural differences. She said some Indian tribes consider making eye contact disrespectful, while European-Americans encourage direct eye contact. "They (students) need to be aware of the difference," she said. 61990 Accu-Weathw. Inc.

An educator from the Akron, Ohio, school board said educators must also work to include Hmong families in the program. Peter Yang said the language barrier makes it difficult for many Hmong adults to understand the program. But once exposed to the program, Yang said Hmong and other Southeast Asian children tend to excel in math because they are accustomed to memorizing lessons. Also, Yang said, "math doesn't use language, you just apply the formulas." refused so far to join in embargo efforts against Iraq and to cut what could become Iraq's economic lifeline. Turkey and Saudi Arabia in effect shut down Iraq's major oil outlets through those countries, but according to Jordanian officials, a smaller line into Jordan remained operating.

On Tuesday, the United States and Soviet Union conferred in Washington on putting an anti-Iraq naval blockade under a United Nations umbrella. The United States has provided most of the naval vessels so far to block Iraqi trade, with Britain, West Germany and Australia among the nations lending support at sea. The embargo is meant to cripple Iraq by cutting off its exports of oil and imports of food and military supplies. Iraq imports about three-quarters of its foodstuffs. U.S.

allies and other U.N. members have objected that the Security Council embargo resolution did not specifically authorize such a naval operation. The State Department on Tuesday summoned the U.S. ambassadors of the Soviet Union, Britain, France and China to discuss the possibility of establishing a joint U.N. military command in the region, or of warships flying under the U.N.

The high temperature for the nation was 110 degrees at Bishop, Calif.

Storms later this week The Associated Press State Today's warm and partly sunny conditions in Wisconsin are expected to give way to a chance of showers and thunderstorms later this week, forecasters say. The National Weather Service said state residents should expect partly cloudy conditions tonight with a chance for thunderstorms to the south. Forecasters said the rain will be touched off by a cool front making its way across central Wisconsin, but is expected to stall tonight. Lows tonight are forecast to be in the mid-50s to mid-60s and highs Thursday in the 80s to around 90. The extended outlook calls for a chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday and Saturday, but partly cloudy skies Sunday.

Since then, it has been taught throughout the country, funded by the federal government through the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The course will be offered cooperatively by the state Department of Public Instruction, the Cooperative Education Services Area 9 and the University of Michigan Programs for Educational Opportunity. "Any school that adopts this program will show a tremendous increase in participation," Payne said.

The program will begin this fall in Gulf From Page 1A allies are eliminated." ABC quoted an Iraqi Foreign Ministry official in Baghdad as saying Americans in Iraq are "restrictees" who will stay there until the crisis ends. The Iraqi ambassador to Venezuela said Tuesday that Iraq would retaliate against Venezuela and other OPEC oil cartel members if they boost oil production to fill the gap created by blocked supplies from Iraq and Kuwait. With Kuwait now "annexed," Iraq has control of 20 percent of the world's oil reserves. A steep rise in world oil prices followed the Kuwait invasion. The U.N.

Security Council on Aug. 6 ordered a global embargo on trade with Iraq, as punishment for seizing Kuwait. Bush then sent U.S. troops and planes to Saudi Arabia, saying Iraqi troops massed nearby in Kuwait threatened Saudi Arabia and its vast oil reserves. Twelve Arab League nations voted for an Arab force to protect Saudi Arabia, with the vanguard of Syria's contingent arriving Tuesday, according to diplomatic sources in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

Jordan's Hussein, however, has Timbers From Page 1A Police were called to investigate the incident, but South Bend owner Alan Levin decided not to file a complaint after meeting with Timbers' officials. South Bend, however, protested Wausau's 4-3 win in Game 1 of the doubleheader because its starting pitcher Larry Brutcher injured his knee after slipping on the wet grass. South Bend officials feel that the grass would not have been wet and the injury could have been prevented if the Wausau players wouldn't have tampered with the field. Who's on suspension?

He made one start. Kip Yaughn, a 20-year-old right-hander who tossed six innings of two-hit ball Tuesday, was 2-4 with a 5.29 ERA. Jimmy Roso, 20, was a regular in the Wausau lineup and was hitting .242 with four homers and 30 RBI in 97 games.

Brad Hildreth, 23, was also a regular infielder for the Timbers and was hitting .240 with seven doubles, four homers and 18 RBI in 87 games.

Hussein arrived in the United States on Tuesday in his self-appointed role as mediator in the crisis that began when Saddam overran Kuwait overran last week and positioned troops as if to invade Saudi Arabia. Baker and Bush are expected to press Hussein to stop permitting commerce in and out of Iraq in defiance of a United Nations trade embargo. The president went to the Pentagon for a briefing on the crisis, which has led him to deploy tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of aircraft and dozens of naval vessels to the region. Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams said the subject of a possible call-up of reserve units would be discussed. Williams said Tuesday night that if such a call-up were made, he expected "a great deal" of the reservists would remain in the United States.

In his new book, "Trump: Surviving at the Top," The Donald thinks money is uninteresting, publicity is dehumanizing and life affords no protection from its tragedies and the passage of time. Trump admits that even he got caught up in the '80s buying frenzy, and explains why he paid so much for the Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Shuttle and other "trophy properties" that brought him to the edge of bankruptcy: "For me, you see, the important thing is the getting," he writes, "not the having." To capitalize on some of his problems, Random House moved up publication of the book from October and ordered 500,000 copies for the first printing. Trump is vague on the subject of his estranged wife, Ivana. He says the two grew apart, but he extols her many fine qualities and insists that although the couple "seem to be headed in different directions I don't know what the outcome of my separation will be." racist reiusai 10 let a white actor play a Eurasian in the Broadway production of "Miss The Oscar-winning actor said he would claim only "financial core" status in the union, meaning he can no longer vote or hold office but retains health benefits in return for reduced dues.
