The National Association of Homo Builders launched a highly successful educational project keyed to middle and high school students two years ago. Since it was first announced, more than 2.2 million students and teachers have participated in the program nationwide. The title of the project is "Building Homes of Our Own." It uses familiar concepts of home building to teach math, science, civics, technology and personal financial responsibility. The course is provided free to educators by the NAHB. "Educators tell us tliis program has really excited their students, introducing them hi diverse industry professions and the concept of homeownership. It forces them to sharpen their critical thinking skills in key subject areas," said Bobby Raybum, NAHD president. "It's become so popular that teachers, students and their parents are contacting us for extra copies for use at home for extra credit assignments or just for fun." This is a great example of how the real estate industry can work in tandem with communities to achieve quality educational programs for young people. In this case, it focuses on tine design and construction of homes. But the educational vajue to kids extends far beyond those boundaries.

Pra Miners tie as they head into the playoffs The Park City High School varsity hockey team tied with the Utah County Independent (UCI) High School hockey team 1-1 Thursday at the Peaks Arena in Provo. The tie came from a goal by Nick Strand mid-way through the third period, off of an assist by Nick Edwards. On defense. Park City goalie Carter Graves played well, frustrating UCI's offensive chances. UCI outshot Park City 34 to 17, but the Miner's defense, led by Marcus Neckman, Daniel Modrovsky, Bridger Bach, Keaton Robbins and Andrew Archer played very strongly in front of Carter, clearing the few rebounds that were left from the goalie. "We continue to improve our play heading into the playoffs and are working very well together as a team. We are .dominating the play at times but still need to improve getting our shots on the goalie instead of wide of ihc goal," said head coach Barry Graves. Although it was officially designated as a "home" game for Park City, UCI appeared to have an advantage playing on their home ice. The game concluded with Park City dominating play in the UCI zone. During the game-ending play, a UCI player kicked a Park City player with his skate blade while lying on the ice. The referee indicated to the official scorer that he \vas going to penalize the UCI player for this infraction for "intention to injure an opposing player." Instead, the referee decided to just give the UCI player a warning. The UCI player was able to avoid the mandatory onc-gamc suspension connected with a game misconduct call and will be eligible to play in UCI's first round playoff game. Park City finished the regular season tied with East for third place in the eight-team Central Division. The single-elimination Utah high school playoffs begin Feb. 1.
