Show Wednesday, May IS, 1974 -C- OALITION PEOPLE! Page School District. Mr. Nelson moved to Park City in 1968 to assume the position of Superintendent of Schools. The community was inviting to him and the job seemed challenging. The proximity of the University of Utah was also a deciding factor. Although a strong proponent of the Special Braid Election, Mr. Nelson feels that a large turnout is the mosf imperative aspect of the election. This epitomized his regard for the wishes of the public concerning public school policy. In his opinion, the most important factor in the success of a public school system is the interest and expression of desires by the community. We have to have the participation of the whole community if we are to have truly public schools. Concerning the role public education plays in our society, Mr. Nelson feels that in these times of so much questioning of national leadership it is essential that public schools remain strong. They are the building blocks of democracy. When asked to make a com- parison of the students he taught early in his career and todays pupil, Mr. Nelson stated that die awareness of todays student is very noticeable. He cited television as perhaps being responsible for their reluctance MR. DENNIS NELSON This weeks Park City Person is Mr. Dennis Nelson, Superintendent of Schools for the Park City School District. Mr. Nelson has the almost awesome responsibility of overall supervision and coordination of Park Citys Public schools and hence, directly and indirectly, influences the quality of education received by our children to a great degree. Mr. Nelson was bom in Price, Utah and was raised in the Emery County town of Ferron. After attending South Emery High School, he served two and a half years in the Navy as an aviation mechanic. Upon his release from the service, Mr. Nelson helped his father and brothers with the family sawmill business. Deciding he wanted to be a school teacher, Mr. Nelson enrolled at Utah State University in Logan from which he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and a Masters in Educational Administration. He also received a Professional Diploma in Guidance and Counseling from the University of Wyoming. Mr. Nelson has taught or been involved in school administration continuously since 1950. His first teaching position was in an elementary school in Emery County. After three years in Emery County, he was assigned as an elementary school principal in thd Piute School District and served as such for two years. The next two years were spent as the principal of Bryce Valley High School. From Bruce Valley Mr. Nelson traveled to San Diego to become a high school science teacher. Deciding on a more rural environment for his large family, he left San Diego to become principal of Green River High School. Two years at Green River were followed by eight years as Assistant Curriculum Director for the Emery County SHOWTIME Cinema 1 - 7 :00 I WEDNESDAY IS I APRIL" 197 THURSDAY lo t:"mPMI MacGRAW t .

Also, visual presentations do not evoke tin some response they once did in school. Another recognizable difference between yesterdays and todays student is the decline of family influence. With more and more mothers seeking careers, the burden of instilling values becomes heavier for the educator. On the subject of student rights, Mr. Nelson stated that such rights are given greater emphasis these days. I feel that in a democracy, a person should have the rights as soon as he is able to assume the responsibility enTo tailed. exercise your rights without accepting the responsibility does not result in or In regard to school rules and regulations, he feels that a complete absence of controls results in a lack of direction for the student but that an excess of controls means no growth. The Superintendent seems very sensitive to the wishes' of the community and very concerned about the welfare of the students as he persues what he terms the major goal of the public school system, Providing the student with an education which will prepare him for a successful and happy life.

Cannes Rated X Film Festival A I S3.00 10A MNG SOIL by JENNIFER GIDDINGS SHARP ...and how does your garden grow? The first rows of peas and lettuce I talked about planting are just now coming up. Weve been using sorrel in our salads and were about ready for rhubarb pie. The strawberries are blooming, asparagus is . coming up and the blueberries and raspberries are leafing out-this the really exciting part of spring to me. is Theres still plenty of time to plant, though, in case youre still spading. Thats one of the good things about a cool climate. Or you can plant second and third rows of things. Ive just put in some more peas, another row of lettuce and my first rows of spinach, beets, carrots and radishes. If youre short on space, put the radishes really near die carrot row. Carrots are slow and radishes are about the fastest growing vegetable youll have. Arid dont plant too many radishes at a time for they all mature at once and then in a week or so are too strong. Just put in part of a row every week. Id still wait to put in beans, for apparently theyre susceptible to frost. Then a word on watering after planting. While the seeds are germinating, Id water enough to keep the soil fairly moist, not soaked, near the surface, so the little plants dont dry out. When theyre well established, reduce the watering to a couple of good soakings a week, depending on weather.' This is supposed to make for stronger plants as the roots have to grow down and out for water instead of staying near the surface, which frequent light watering would encourage. It also makes it a lot more convenient to leave your plants and go on trips if they arent in the habit of a nightly drink-an- d besides the water tunnel in the mine isnt done yet. Which brings me to the subject of mulches. There is a whole school of gardening that is dedicated to covering all of the ground surface not used by plants. The cover can be anything from hay, wood chips and grass clippings to newspapers, black plastic and old carpet. The reasons for it are to keep the weeds down, and thus eliminate work, retain moisture, keep the soil cool, keep fruits like tomatoes and strawberries clean, keep the mud off your tennis shoes, etc. I think its a very good idea and am trying it this year. I really recommend the hay, grass, newspaper type thing to the plastic and carpet idea because the first are decomposable and so add nutrients to the soil. I think mulching really works, too, for I have a useless little hillside that faces south and seems to be all rocks. If I removed all of the rocks I wouldnt have a hillside and that would create problems. So being basically lazy, I took all of our old horse hay and put a thick layer layer on the hill. Then I pushed it aside in little circles and planted my strawberries in what dirt I could find below. This week, when I went out to push more more and aside plant found soil I the that strawberries, under the hay was very cool and quite moist when all of the rest of the garden was dry. When my rows of plants get up, I intend to mulch between them too. It you re going to be brave this year and plant things like tomatoes, com, cucumbers and heard squash, take heart-Iv- e that the gardeners up on Rossi Hill already have tomatoes out. Be prepared, though, to give up the blankets on your beds some night or at least have protective caps ready (paper, milk cartons, cans, etc.) for we had snow in June last year. Im being cowar-dly-Itrying to be patient enough not to put tomatoes out until June first. Instead, I trot all of my little starts in and out of the sun every day. Now that you have the vegetable scene under control, think about flowers. Practically everything does wonderfully up here. Im no expert, but things m Ive are liked petunias, marigolds, alyssum, a little flower called lobelia (does wonderfully here), moss rose (for sun and dry spots), daisies, pansies, bachelors buttons, peonies-reall- y you could go on listing flowers forever.
