Show Fifth graders to go to middle school The Park City Board of Education Tuesday voted unanimously to place fifth graders in the middle school in spite of the objections of parents. Some 30 persons attending the Tuesday meeting were in favor of leaving their fifth graders in the elementary school, but board members decided to pursue the "middle "mid-dle school concept" of grouping group-ing grades five through eight in the new $6 million facility. Chief argument of the opposing parents was the feeling that 10-year-old fifth graders are not mature enough to compete with the older sixth, seventh and eighth graders. The Board of Education, according to Superintendent Richard Goodworth, implemented im-plemented five years ago the concept of grouping the 10- to 14-year-olds in a middle school. This school year, however, the fifth grades were returned to Parley's Park Elementary because of added growth in the higher grades. In the meantime, the board began construction of the new middle school which eventually will accommodate accommo-date some 1,000 students. Grades five through eight will include some 450 students stu-dents when the new school opens next fall. Goodworth told the group of parents the middle school is designed to address the needs of the emerging adolescent ado-lescent who has "major social and emotional concerns. con-cerns. We will have a staff that is well-equipped to deal with the child approaching puberty." The concept, he said, takes into account the needs of a maturing child and gives him an environment environ-ment that is accepting and caring. "We need to address the needs of a fifth grader regardless of where he is," Goodworth said. It was noted that the new middle school is designed to group fifth and sixth graders in one wing, and seventh and eighth grades in another, in classroom situations. Good-worth Good-worth emphasized also that students will be provided with an expanded curriculum curricu-lum in the new facility, with a large gymnasium, indus trial arts, home economics, science and music. Dr. Brian Schiller, principal princi-pal of the Carl Winters Middle School, was on hand to support parents' views on the matter. "The middle school staff advocates grouping group-ing grades six through eight," he said. With just these grades currently in the middle school, "we can do some things in the curriculum curricu-lum that weren't possible in the past." Board President Nancy McComb said she believes that "so many fears are based on the unknown." The middle school concept, she said, should be tried out, and if it doesn't work, it should be changed. After the vote, McComb recommended polling fifth graders on their feelings both before they enter the middle school, and later when they've experienced the environment. In other action Tuesday, the board: Moved to direct High School Principal Jack Dozier to request Region 11 of the State High School Activities Association to rescind its motion to charge area radio stations for broadcasts of high school basketball games. Dozier told the board he was "tunnel visioned" in supporting the motion originally, origin-ally, and said there's no firm evidence that such broadcasts broad-casts result in reduced revenues at the games. Agreed to recommend to the Region 11 board that girls' gymnastics as well as golf and tennis not be eliminated from state competitions. com-petitions. The regional body, Dozier told the board, had moved to allow the sports only on a regional competitive competi-tive basis because of time being lost from academics. Agreed to put off sale of $5.8 million in bonds for a few months in case the interest rate drops. The board still has 12 months in which to sell the bonds to finance the new middle school. Cancer Society plans spring fundraiser Handicapped skier benefit flooded with donations The Silver Creek Band, a bluegrass group, has volunteered volun-teered its time and talents to the fund-raising party for handicapped skiers Saturday Satur-day at ParkWest. Betty McNally, chairman of the benefit, said the band's offer to play at the event is typical of the support that has been flowing in from the community. com-munity. Some 50 restaurants and retail shops have donated door prizes and other businesses busi-nesses and individuals have offered food and beverages for the occasion. Proceeds will go for equipment needed to teach physically and mentally handicapped children child-ren and adults in ParkWest's volunteer handicapped skiing ski-ing program. The program already has received some $1,800 in donations from friends and family of Paul Hill, who died Feb. 26 in a one-car accident on Highway 224 near the ParkWest entrance. Hill's family had requested that memorial contributions be made to the ParkWest Special Ski Foundation. The money will be used to purchase an Arroya sled for use on the ski slopes by paraplegics. Among the door prizes will be memberships to The Club, P.C. forensics team wins Region 11 meet The Park City High School forensics team walked off with the sweepstakes at the Region II Forensics Meet Friday, March 5, at St. Mark's Academy in Salt Lake City.

But you'd rather not think about it, right? The trouble is, the chances are about one in four that you'll get cancer at some point in your life. That's right, one in four. That estimate comes from the American Cancer Society. Lea Barnes can tell you a bit about cancer. She has four relatives who have contracted some form of the disease in the past 18 months. She is also the president of the West Summit Sum-mit County Unit of the American Cancer Society, serving the Park City area. A coincidence? "A lot of our volunteers are involved because of personal experiences with cancer," acknowledges Nancy Witt, who is in charge of publicity for the group. Whatever their motivation for joining the group, a number of individuals have decided to work to help cancer victims and prospec- Science fair The energy from about 100 students at Park City High School is being harnessed to generate some 75 projects for this year's science fair, which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 16 in the school's multipurpose room. "We have almost half of the school involved in it, said C.W. "Moose" Smith, a science and mathematics teacher who is helping to coordinate the event. "I've never seen the youngsters so enthusiastic ... I'm expecting expec-ting some very fine projects from them." Judging of the exhibits will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. The fair will be open to the public starting at 6 p.m., with the winners announced at 7 p.m . Smith said prizes would be awarded to the five top entries in both physical and biological sciences. The winners will be eligible to compete in the Metropolitan Metropoli-tan Science Fair, set for April 1 and 2 in Salt Lake City. Smith pointed out that Park City science students have a good track record in the Salt Lake fair, winning one prize last year and two first-place awards the year before.

"We are a fundraising organization," recognizes Mrs. Witt. "But we're also a service organization. And education is really big." Members of the group keep in touch with people in the West Summit County area who have recently contracted con-tracted cancer. Some don't want any help. But others ask for information on health services in the community. One individual needed transportation trans-portation to the hospital once a month for treatment. The American Cancer Society provided it. Two other members of the local chapter, Jane Schwenk and Annette Sneed, keep in touch with local physicians and clinics to let them know what the American Cancer Society can provide. New tests are constantly being developed to help in the early detection of the disease, and some of these have been made available locally. Early detection is the focal point of the Society's education educa-tion program, which is targeted both at school children and at adult organizations. organi-zations. The West Summit County Unit is now gearing up for its annual fund-raising effort. Last year, about 40 volunteers volun-teers managed to raise $1,500 going door to door. This year's target is $2,000.

"We'd like to leave them with the thought that we're active and we would like their help," said Mrs. Witt. "And it's a good way to get to know your neighbors.
