"The kids should see what else is in the world." She believes the city school system has failed to motivate students to reach that fuller potential, and for that reason, among others, Maloney is running for the School Board from Precinct Pre-cinct 5. Maloney recommends a number of changes in the district, including more complete files on a student's academic achievements; the reinstitution of the counselor position at the Middle School; and provision for study space and study time at the high school. All this, she thinks, will help achieve a policy of "letting the children be more aware of themselves and what is around them." A resident of the Park City area for three-and-a-half years, Maloney has four children in the school system, ranging from first grade to senior year. Maloney said that colleges judging a future Park City graduate for admittance will have very little information to go on in his school files. Subjective evaluations of a student are no longer included in-cluded in files, thanks to sunshine laws, she said. But districts have gone to the other extreme by eliminating elimi-nating almost all objective information. "A problem pro-blem student may have a file this size" she said spacing her fingers a teaspoon's length apart. An exceptional student who has achieved at drama, forensic or "a sport other than football" foot-ball" will have nothing in his record except his last test score, she added. A student's accomplishments should be recorded and, she said, should also be acknowledged by the schools. "The local newspapers do a good job of reporting who won this or that, but I'd like to see the recognition in the schools." Studies should be mounted, she said, to find what hap pens to young Parkites after they graduate from high school. To achieve goal-oriented goal-oriented schooling, she also suggests holding career courses, and bringing in college representatives including in-cluding out-of-staters to talk with students. The meetings should start by the end of the junior year, sne suggested to enable the students plenty of time to meet the early deadlines of some colleges. "Why is it the high school can't keep the students interested in-terested in school?" she asked. One reason, Maloney said, is the school's lack of sjtudy resources. There are no study periods or study halls at the high school. "The library can't be used except a half-hour before school and a half-hour after," she said. And if the student is enrolled for a full day's sessions, Maloney added, He is compelled com-pelled to leave the grounds during his free time. "If the student is not a problem child or in football, the administration doesn't seem to know they're there, in my opinion, Maloney said. Maloney said there should be more counselors available avail-able for the district. She said she was "very disappointed disap-pointed in the people of Park City," who became very involved in-volved in the principal-teacher principal-teacher dispute of the Middle School but did not notice that at the same time, the counselor's coun-selor's job there was abolished. "No one got excited ex-cited about that," she said. A full-time school counselor served for the first time at the high school, during the 79-80 school year, "how can you wait until high school to have a counselor?" A counselor should be brought back to the Middle School, she suggested, perhaps a person who ould also spend one or two diys at the elementary' school. ' "That's a very critical age for children," she added. "If a kid has trouble with his peers or teachers, he has to have someone to talk to." We expect a lot from the teachers, she said, but they can't do the whole job. Nancy and husband Joe were born and bred in Niagara Falls, New York. They were drawn to Park City, she said, by the mountains moun-tains (and the fact they'd no longer have to drive 8-10 hours to the Vermont ski resorts.) One of her suggestions for the district involves a ski program for the high school. "The elementary and middle school have them," she noted. "If the high school dismissed one day of school for the skiing you would have less stuffing." Maloney obtained a B.A. in Sociology from the State University of New York and is on the verge of completing her M.S. in Education at Niagara University. She also worked in general counseling coun-seling for seven years with the Niagara County Department Depar-tment of Social Services "I am an individual that can look at a problem objectively, objec-tively, and pick out the best solution," she said. Nancy Maloney said she wants to see more individual, in-dividual, direct attention given to students. "From the beginning,' the child should have the motivation to learn,"-she said. "Aside from the basics, readin', writin' rind 'rithmetic, the subject matter is not important." impor-tant." the student, she said, should be taught not what the aiiswer is, but how to find the answer through the use of resources. "I don't want a child to be discouraged. I want to see every child motivated to reach his full potential," she said. Attacks on 'Confusing' Sprinkler Law Less than four months after af-ter it became law, Park City's so-called sprinkler ordinance or-dinance came under fire at last week's City Council meeting. Expressing concerns about ambiguities in the ordinance, or-dinance, a group of 31 Park City businessmen presented a letter to the city last week asking that the law be replaced with one which is more equitable and enforceable. enfor-ceable. Named in the letter as representatives of the group were architects L. Spencer Smith and Ted Warr. "We're not really objecting objec-ting to the (concept of a) sprinkler ordinance," Warr said later. "But it was confusing, con-fusing, very hard to interpret, inter-pret, and in some cases conflicted con-flicted with the Uniform Building Code." Accompanying the letter was a proposed replacement for the current sprinkler ordinance, or-dinance, suggesting changes to bring it into compliance with the Uniform Building Code. City Councilman Tom Shellenberger agreed there was some validity to the complaints. "I understand it's holding up a lot of people," he said. "It's making it difficult to build right now." Shellenberger told the Council that a meeting had been scheduled for the next day with members of the group, including Warr and Smith, along with representatives represen-tatives from the group which drew up the original ordinance. or-dinance. However, he emphasized em-phasized that it was not his intent to see the ordinance diluted so much that )r it became ineffective. ' , '-;," "It is our intent to keep the majority of it in force and the intent of it intact," he said. -'' Developer Malcolm MacQuoid wanted to know whether the city had considered con-sidered a permanent fire department. "Everything is a problem right now because of the volunteer fire department," depar-tment," he said. Shellenberger pointed out that the city had no jurisdiction jurisdic-tion over the fire district. "When I was on the fire district two years ago, I was pushing for a (full-time) chief," Shellenberger said. "It wasn't well received at that time. In fact I was just about run out of town on a rail." Realtor Al Horrigan argued that, at least in some situations, the present sprinkler ordinance appears to be retroactive. He said that, especially since the investigation in-vestigation into building in- ' spection practices, it has been difficult to get interpretations inter-pretations from the city. "I think, since that investigation, in-vestigation, everyone in the building and planning department depar-tment is afraid to make a decision," he said. "And I think it's because of those ambiguities." Friday's meeting apparently ap-parently resolved some of the complaints voiced before the City Council. A new ordinance or-dinance i wasi "drafted to ,v .satisfy ithe i meeds, ;cr5,i both, sides. Shellenberger said it would be discussed at the next meeting of the City Council. ii As written, the new ordinance or-dinance would become effec tive Oct. 1. It would apply to building permits issued after Sept. 30. According to one of the new provisions,' all existing ibuildings . in the Historic Commercial Business district south of Heber Avenue would be required to have automatic sprinkler systems installed within three years. West Coast Firm Into Prospector? THE IRISH CAMEL LTD Serving fine Mexican dishes Burgers and Salads BACKGAMMON TOURNAMENT Tuesday, Sept. 2, 6 p.m. Entry Fee $,5.00 (Includes complimentary drink) Open Round: Cash Prize Consolation Round: Dinner Lunch: 12-2:30 Dinner: 5-10:30 Closed Wednesday Located at 434 Main Street Park City, 649-6645 A California-based resort condominium management company announced (his week that it currently is negotiating to take over operatidn of the Prospector Square lodging and conference con-ference center. The facilities had been operated by Management Man-agement Concepts Inc. since May 1978, until owner Bob Hutchins was unable to renew his lease agreement with property owner K&M Inc., and filed for bankruptcy bankrupt-cy early in July. Managing the Grub Steak Restaurant, the conference center, and the Prospector Athletic Club on an interim basis has been the Huntsman Goodson Chemical Corporation Corpora-tion of Salt Lake City, which has been negotiating with K&M President Keith Garner Gar-ner to purchase an interest in the facilities. Huntsman Goodson officials admitted from the outset that they are not a management company, and that they were as surprised as many local businessmen and property owners when Hutchins filed for bankruptcy. The chemical chemi-cal corporation since then has been researching various vari-ous management firms, and now is negotiating with Colony Hotels, Inc., which is based in Van Nuys, California. Cali-fornia. Howard C. Donnelly, vice president of technical services ser-vices for Colony Hotels, said Monday that his company has presented a letter of intent and is working toward taking over operation of the restaurant, athletic club and conference center, as well as assuming the management of the more than 300 lodging units in Prospector Square. He commented that letters will be mailed this week to the 200 to 400 fractional owners of the units describing describ-ing Colony's rental pool program. "Within 30 to 60 days, the owners can sign the letter and return it, acknowledging their desire to be incorporated incor-porated into the rental program," pro-gram," Donnelly said. "We hope to receive about 200 replies." He noted that the owners have the option to manage their own units, but added that Colony's program would be more beneficial and attractive with the amenities offered in the restaurant, the athletic club and the conference center. Donnelly said Colony Hotels has no intention of seeking to purchase an interest in the property, and foresees no major changes being made in the restaurant, the club or conference center. "Our only ambition is to take what there is and improve it," Donnelly said. "We hope to reach an Agreement with the Huntsman Hunts-man group by the first of September, or October 1 at the latest, and by October with the unit owners so that we can look forward to a good first quarter." Colony Hotels, Inc. is a subsidiary of First Travel Corporation, which is the parent company of Ask Mr. Foster Travel Service, Firstours and Transportation Transporta-tion Consultants International. Interna-tional. The company was established nine years ago, and has worked with over 3,000 individual investors in a dozen properties in Hawaii, Florida and California. Colony's philosophy is to manage a small chain of medium-sized resort hotels "with a professionalism heretofore unavailable, increasing in-creasing profits and operating operat-ing these resorts as though they were owned by Colony." The management company has expended the most energy developing properties proper-ties on the Hawaiian Islands, where they have 10 hotels on Kauai, Oahu, Maui and the main island. Donnelly noted that coming to Park City marks "our introduction into a mainland resort." |
