"My preliminary findings supports that there is no' violation of the Sunshine Law." Cenarrusa said. Cenarrusa made the finding, "basically on two provisions of the Sunshine Law: the right of exercising free religion is very broad and the other is persons who limit their lobbying to appearances before public sessions of committees of the legislature" are exempt from registration.

help handicapped BOISE UPI i -Secretary of State Pete Cenarrusa said Friday the Mormon Church has not violated the Sunshine Law by not registering as a lobbying group. Cenarrusa said the finding is part of his "preliminary analysis" of a complaint filed bv the Women's Lobbv that the LDS Church has not complied with the Sunshine Law by failing to register as a lobbying group. The secretary of state said that since the "Stop F.RA" philosophy is part of the Mormon Church's religious beliefs its activities come under the exemption given for it "CASH for CANS' fiiiii 3 QEGVGLE i. iwiMmimiu rTtllllllMEIT 1 5iN4 per pound for BEER SOFT DRINK each for coons BOTTLES El) KEAY superintendent since 1936 ADOIPH COORS COMPANY, GOLMN. COLO 111 AUIiffi only college in the country solely for the deaf.

He also has done graduate work at Portland State University. Oregon. Reay served as principal of the schools for the deaf in Kansas and Washington and then went to Florida to hold a similar position. He had been in Florida only one year when the Idaho post became vacant. The official said he had tried to "take the good things he'd seen" at the other institutions where he had served and apply them in Idaho.

He feels that early acceptance and training of children with hearing or sight loss is the most vital factor iin his work. Reay claims the satellite and itinerant programs have increased awareness both in the public schools and among parents of the handicapped child. There is more public acceptance of handicapped children. Reay believes, than there used to be. Now more parents accept the fact that if deaf children are going to be able to communicate they may have to learn sign language, he said.

During his years at the state school in Gooding, the staff has grown from 133 to 510. This includes employes in maintenance, food and household service and dormitory care as well as 22 employes who are with the satellite and itinerant programs. Twelve employes are involved in care for the 17 children both deaf and blind, who require extra care because they have additional health and physical disabilities. These children are the victims of the rubella epidemic about a decade ago. Reav said.

BIWFIL. By contrast, a blind child at that age "could talk your arm off." Reay said. Reay says he believes one major accomplishment of his years at the Gooding institution was a legislative change in 1901 allowing the state school to have children on campus under the age of (i. "We started by saying if a 4-year-old was too babyish and didn't want to stay, we'd send him home." Reay said. But none of the pre-school children who have come since the age was lowered in 1902 have wanted to go back home.

The physical appearance of the 40-acre campus at the south edge of Gooding has changed considerably duping Reay's administration. In 1959 the superintendent's residence was built and a dining hall and infirmary in 1902. The building of a girls' dormitory followed in 1903 and a swimming pool was added in 1905. A new structure to house the primary school for the deaf and administration offices was built in 190K and the latest addition, a classroom building for the blind which also holds the school's extensive library, wascompIetedinl975. The latter building replaced the old administration building where Reay said his living quarters were "across the hall from the office, down the hall from classrooms with the kitchen downstairs." Reay first became interested in teaching the deaf when he was an undergraduate at Illinois College in Jacksonville.

The campus was only a half block from the Illinois State School for the deaf and many of Reay's friends worked on the state school campus. Many of his classmates trained in the field and went on to become superintendents of schools for the deaf throughout the U.S., Reay said. He was taught in Iowa and Illinois and received his M.S. degree from University of Massachusetts at Amherst By LORAYNE O.SMITH Times-News writer GOODING When Ed Reay became superintendent of tlie Idaho State School in there were 102 deaf and blind students on a campus with seven buildings. When he retires Aug.

31 the school will be serving nearly 400 students through its combined residential, satellite and itinerant programs from a campus with double the number of buildings. Reay estimates the replacement value of the seven new structures built during his administration at nearly $2 million. But probably more important, he feels, is the increase in the number of handicapped children and youths being helped toward a more normal life. While there were only 37 blind and 65 deaf children in the school in 1 95fi. Reay says.

"There were just as many handicapped i children in Idaho, but they weren't in this schoool." Today the slate school has 1.34 resident students, of which 95 are deaf. 22 blind and 17 both deaf and blind. In addition another 190 are helped through the school's itinerant program under which teachers work with handicapped students in the public schools and 49 more children are involved in the satellite program. The satellite program began in Magic Valley in recent years and provides opportunity for state school personnel to work with parents to help them learn how to cope with their child's handicap. In cases of hearing problems this means having parents begin early with teaching communication such as sign language.

"It used to be." Reay said, "parents would wait until a child got through a couple of grades and was way behind in his work before they'd realize he needed special help." Asked how the state school has increased the number of students over the last 21 years Reay said, "We did a lot of field work." He said they used to have a deaf child come to the school at age 6 and "he didn't even know his name."
