The toddler was in serious but sta ble condition Tuesday following sur gery Monday on the foot, Midland Memorial Hospital spokesman Sue Ristom said. Meanwhile, thousands of West Texans were expected to sign a huge get-well card bound from San An gelo for Midland and Thursday’s celebration. The 6- by 6-foot card is being touted as the largest get-well greet ing in Texas and includes a huge Winnie-the-Pooh on the front and the following message on the inside: “You brought hearts together from all over the world. Our hearts go out to you.” The card, sponsored by radio sta- spe tion KIXY, will be on a float that fea tures hundreds of teddy bears and other stuffed animals sent to Jessica from around the world. Friday morning, syndicated talk- show hostess Oprah Winfrey will tape her show in Midland. Officials said the program will focus on the efforts to save the toddler, who turned 19 months old Monday. During the one-hour operation Monday, doctors cut away dead tis sue from the side of the right foot and heel, Ristom said. It is a process that will be repeated Thursday. Jessica injured the foot when she fell into an abandoned well in Mid land almost two weeks ago. The foot was wedged between the well and her body during the SSW-hour or deal, cutting off the blood supply. Doctors will have to cut away dead tissue several times before they graft skin from the girl’s thighs onto the injured foot, Ristom said. Jessica is eating well, playing often and undergoing three pressurized oxygen treatments daily, Ristom said. The oxygen treatments are in tended to help the body replace blood vessels in the damaged foot.

Prepared by: Charlie Hi Staff Meteon A&M De partmentofMetra I A&M researchers develop new teaching certificatio By By Jeffrey L. Jones Reporter College graduates can get the skills needed to be certified as a tea cher in Texas with an alternative tea ching certification program devel oped by researchers at Texas A&M. Dr. Jon Denton, a professor of curriculum and instruction in the College of Education, said the pro gram tries to train individuals for their certification without repeating courses they have already taken. Denton said many of the people who have gone through the pro gram were professionals who de cided to change to the teaching field. “The first year (1986), most of the candidates were from the petro chemical field,” Denton said. “Oth ers were recent graduates who had prepared to go into various indus tries, but for whatever reasons changed their minds.” The research began in 1985 when Denton and his colleagues re sponded to a proposal by the federal government expressing the need for such a program. Denton said A&M is one of 29 institutions in the United States that received this grant. “Our first group came through in June 1986,” Denton said, “and our second group started in June of this year.” The popularity of programs like this may be increasing with the pas sage of a Texas law saying Texas universities can no longer offer an undergraduate degree in education, Denton said. Many students caught under the law will receive a degree in some dis cipline other than education and go on to earn a master’s degree in edu cation. Denton said this program will provide these students with an op tion other than a long graduate pro- gam. Denton said it takes 15 months to complete the program, which has two summers of classwork at A&M and a year of internship at a partici pating school district. During the first summer, courses include topics such as teaching methods, classroom management and instructional planning. The sec ond summer is made up of more ad vanced courses dealing with curric ulum development and instructional analysis. Heroin ad the avc rgoing rchers f The study school district.
