The first in a series of reports aimed at coping with student growth in Granite Schol District cast a favorable light on a school system here Tues year-roun- d day night. The report came after six months of comprehensive study by a Board of Education-appointe- d citizen committee. Before any movement on the of the board, there will also be reports on shared usage plans and busing, building and use of relocatables or modular construction. John Mackay chaired the committee and acted as spokesman at Tuesday nights board session. The greatest obstacle facing imschool plementation of a year-rounsystem, Mackay told the board, would be overcoming staff and patron resistance. He said two years lead time would be required to overcome all obstacles. There would also be some legislative changes needed, adjusting required days in school if the plan favored by the committee were to be implemented. Seventeen states are currently inschool provolved in year-roun- d grams and in most cases, patrons would be resistant to changing back to the traditional system, polls have showed. The committee recommended that the system only be implemented in those areas where growth is a significant factor and that where imbasis, plemented it be done on a with all members of families and, possibly, entire neighborhoods, on the same track. That means that schools feeding part d terms and have one off -- - that at- is, tend school Aug. 26 to Jan. 2, be out until March 1, back in until June 27 and out until Aug. 26. The concept has met with favor from many of the valleys large employers who would prefer scheduling vacations on a more staggered basis and it would allow families more flexibility in rates, such as skiing, Mackay reported. The programs have been found to be educationally sound. Teachers would also have flexibility. Most would teach five of the six terms, but could opt for other arrangements, including one which would give them a full college semester in which to pursue advance degrees. Buildings would require air conditioning, but the committee said cost of that is far less than continued building programs. There would be some significant start-ucosts, but studies show that taxpayers would get one year free for every 13 years the system was in use, based on current figures and projected savings. The system would only be viable as a long term solution to student populations, the committee stressed. Experience in other areas has shown the concept to be little problem in scheduling of sports and p Three Sections most activities. report is generally favorable to the concept. The board also has access to all of the support materials the committee used in preparation of its document. While not taking any stand on the issues, the board highly acclaimed the report and the methods used in arriving at the conclusions Down the line the report will be a factor in some hard decisions that will face this board or subsequent boards. The fact that it was a patron study with input from both administrators and teachers is expected to give it greater validity with the board. extra-curricul- The 38 Pages WeofOatmj K-1- 2 Granger, TWENTY . . .

Slate Change Considered By City Officials WEST VALLEY. The City Council is expected to pass an ordinance here tonight (Thursday) cutting its Thursday meeting schedule in half. The revised ordinance, which was discussed without dissent Tuesday, would result in the council holding business meetings on the first and third Thursdays of the month. The council currently meets every Thursday. In recent months, however, the volume of business appearing before the council on Thursdays has been minimal. Several members suggested the schedule could be pared without making the council inaccessible to the public. Mayor Jerry Maloney previously expressed opposition to the idea, contending it was the councils responsibility to be available to the public frequently. He did not object to the revised schedule at Tuesdays session, however. The council will continue to meet eacfh Tuesday for its study session. Issues are discussed more extensively at those sessions than at Thursday meetings, but formal action is generally postponed business meeting.

SALT LAKE. Two sites for a proposed minimum booking jail in Midvale and west Sandy were agreed upon for further study at a meeting of the Salt Lake County Council of Governments Friday. The action followed a suggestion by spokesmen from the County Real Estate Division and County Administrative Services that three sites be narrowed down to two, before expensive and extensive studies on the sites were begun. Approved for further study by COG was a 16 site north of 7200 and the Denver South between and Rio Grand Railroad tracks in Midvale. Greg Goodwin, a planner for County Administrative Services, said access to the site would have to e developed to go over or tunnel under five sets of railroad tracks. e Also approved for study was a site at about 8900 So. 500 West in a developing industrial area in Sandy. The council suggested that the second site be moved to the west side of a road that cuts through the present proposal to lessen concerns about devaluation of industrial property in the area. County Commissioner M. Tom Shimizu said the jail won't be built for about five years, but said the property will have to be acquired now, because it wont be available in five years. County Commissioner Mike Stewart said the railroad company, which owns the first site, has historically been opposed to any taking of its lands and said it was opposed to the present proposal. He added, however, that he thought the bare-bone- -- 17.6-acr- n 535-773- here's a point It was the death of film star Ingrid Bergman that brought it all to mind.

Cagney didnt say that, either not in any one of those tough-gu- y films he made. Yet impersonators invariably portray Cagney with that line and audiences always react accordingly. It might also surprise you to know the granddaddy of all detectives, Sherlock Holmes, never did say, Elementary, my dear Watson! Weve read a good many Holmes books and witnessed most of the movies made from them. Wed probably have sworn that somewhere in all those chapters Sherlock removed pipe from mouth and made such a statement. Not so. In The Holmes makes Crooked Man, an analysis of Watson which elicits from his equally-famou- s sidekick, Excellent! In response, Sherlock Thats as says, "Elementary! close as he ever got to the line commonly attributed to him. Another victim of misquotation was Marie Antoinette. The poor French aristocrat supposedly said, when told the peasants had no bread, Let them eat cake! Alas, she never said that at all. Historians contend revolutionaries put those words in her mouth to further justify her trip to the guillotine. It appears theres much when history is most historians have now decided the fabled story of George Washington chopping down the cherry tree was a fabrication - it never took place. And (horrors!) Cinderella didnt wear glass slippers at all. She wore slippers made of fur in the original story. Many years later the French word in the phrase "pantoufles de vair had gone out of use and a translator unfamiliar with it took vair to be verre - glass. So ever after the story put Cindy in the no misunderstanding discussed. Fr instance, doubt more alluring slipper made of glass - or gold or silver encrusted with pearls or jewels, as your version might have put it. Its really frustrating to learn the truth about so many of the fabled stories you learned in childhood. Nero didnt fiddle while Rome burned. In fact, there was no such thing as a fiddle in Nero's time. He was a nut, its generally agreed, but he was at Antium when the fire broke out - 50 miles away. And though he travelled there as rapidly as possible, you can calculate how far the fire had gone before 50 miles could be travelled in the first century. And Sir Walter Raleigh didnt lay his cloak across the mud puddle so Elizabeth wouldnt get her dainty slippers dirty. That yarn was the invention of a writer who didnt let truth interfere with his tales of gallantry. For that matter, Walt wasn't the man who brought tobacco to Europe, either. He drew credit (or discredit) for that in 1586. But the Frenchman Jean Nicot upstaged him by more than a quarter-centur- thats where the word nicotine" came from. y -- How about that popular Biblical recounting of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? The one where she gives him that infamous apple . . . -- Genesis 3. You'll find the word apple is never mentioned. It was simply the fruit of the tree which grew in the garden. Most likely that was a fig tree since both Re-rea- d the principal characters dressed themselves in fig leaves after partaking of the fruit. If youve hung on this long, youre entitled to a few more affirmations of our inability to get the facts straight. To wit: That famous string used in violins - catgut. Its not a byproduct of deceased felines at all. Its made from the intestines of animals - but not from cats. And an ostrich burying its head in the sand in time of danger? Not so! An ostrich-raisinexpert contends he never once saw one of the ungainly birds do anything of the sort. In fact, he says, theyd suffocate if they did! Then theres baiting a mouse trap with cheese - their favorite food. No it isnt. Exterminators say sticky candy is more tempting and serves the added purpose of holding the mouse for that needed for the trap to spring. Well, 'nuf tradition destroying for one session. After all, we cant tolerate the whole world of disbelief (or misbelief?) toppling round our ears. In fact, some might question the need for setting the facts straight at all . . . -- g -- split-secon- d |
