Show Parley's Park Principal Resigns, New Headmaster AVaits Board Vote The Parleys Park Pot Guts won't be scampering around their new school on opening day, and the recently-hired principal resigned re-signed before he started. But the good news is, Marsac will be ready when school opens, and another principal is in town waiting to be formally accepted by the School Board. School District Superintendent Superin-tendent Richard Good-worth Good-worth said Tuesday that Allan Pederson, selected by the board earlier this year to be principal of the new Parleys Park Elementary Elemen-tary School, resigned his post this week. Goodworth said that in his resignation letter, Pederson noted that personal complications would keep him from moving to Park City from Minnesota. The superintendent said he was pleased, however, that the board's close runner-up selection, Robert Rob-ert Freeman, has accepted accept-ed the offer to become principal. Goodworth add-d add-d that the School Board will formally vote on the candidate at their meeting August 19. "But I feel sure that the board will appoint him," he said. In an interview with The Newspaper, Freeman said he was the assistant principal princi-pal at the Timpanogos Elementary School for the past year, and served as a 4th and 5th grade teacher the three previous years. He has an associates degree de-gree in language, a bachelor's bache-lor's degree in elementary education, and a master's in education administration. administra-tion. Freeman is 29 years old, married, and has three children. "My first concern will be to stabilize things and get ready to move into the new school," Freeman said. "My goals are to bring more professionalism into the Park City education system. I have some good concepts and ideas to bring in with me. So far, everyone every-one I've met is very; dedicated, and I'd like to bring in mere of those kinds of teachers." Of particular interest to Freeman, he said, will be to institute a gifted and talented program in the elementary school. "Many children, though they can't excel academically, excel in other areas, such as productive thinking, creativity creati-vity and planning," Freeman Free-man said. "I'd like to teach all children something that they can excel in." On behalf of the Park City School District, Freeman recently attended a workshop work-shop in Mobile, Alabama for training in a program for gifted and talented children. He attended the workshop on a grant offered offer-ed by the Northeastern Utah Education Service, based in Heber. Freeman said he intends to hold workshops with interested teachers at the elementary school, and the program will be offered throughout the classroom. He commented that the children will be tested before the program begins, and again at the end of the school year, allowing instructors in-structors to record student progress. "This will be a step-by-step process," Freeman Save up to 15 on Homeowners insurance If your home is less than 7 years old, you Find out how much, call: STATI MIM INSUtANCI commented. "This isn't another new program, but instead, it's taking academics acade-mics and adding creativity." creativi-ty." Freeman said he now is in the process of meeting the staff of the elementary school, which includes three teachers for each of the grade levels (first through fourth), a full and part-time kindergarten teacher, and a number of aides. He said he expects a student enrollment of 450 this year. "I'm. really pleased with the number of teachers at the school, and I'm looking forward to meeting with them," the principal said. Asked if he anticipated any differences with working wjth children going to school in a resort town, Freeman responded, "Children "Chil-dren are children; each one has his or her own problems prob-lems and differences.

' If Freeman is indeed selected as the new principal, princi-pal, and all indications say he will be, he will begin his new post at the Marsac school.

It has been unusable since last October. And we definately need lighting for nighttime tennis, maybe a timed lighting system that would possibly pay for itself after one summer. Suzanne Rowan, Park City If the limp net at City Park has been cramping your style, your game should be back in full swing by the end of the week. According to Don Putman at the city maintenance shop, the problem is the "comealong" gear around which the wire at the top of the net is wound, which then is attached to a crank that pulls the net taut. Don says he has the comealong, but what's holding up progress now is the welder necessary to install it. Currently, the welder is without its wheels, and as big a guy as Don is, he says he can't quite heft the 2,000 pound welder to transport it to City Park. "The net is fixed as well as it can be right now, and I know it's way overdue," Putman said. "But it very definitely will be fixed by the end of the week." ' As far as the suggestion for night lighting, Bruce Henderson Hender-son of the Recreation Department said it is a great idea, and one that is on the list of improvements needed for city facilities. But for now, Henderson said, there is no money available in the city budget. He said he looks forward to a time when there are more funds so that existing amenities, like the tennis courts, can be used more extensively. ' If you've been using the sagging net, look out ; by next week you may find that the shot you perfected to just glance over the top now will be stopped dead in its tracks.
