Show Park Record Thursday, June 2, 1988 Page A7 Special needs addressed Just getting on a school bus is a challenge for special education students, but with community support these students are able to participate in the public school system, as well as looking forward for-ward to productive lives. A big part of the education for special-needs children is social assimilation; these students need to understand their differences aren't insurmountable obstacles to successful lives. In fact, the largest obstacles these students face come from a society which is only slowly beginning to understand that special-needs citizens are not a burden, they are eager to make whatever contributions they can. There is a group in Park City,. "Parents and Advocates of Special Needs Children," which meets once a month to discuss the barriers facing special needs students and how those barriers can be eradicated. The group's next meeting, which will also be its last this year, is scheduled for June 2, at 7:30 p.m., in the Treasure Mountain Moun-tain Middle School media center. All interested people are encouraged en-couraged to attend. The meeting will focus on community com-munity involvement, including how senior citizens and businesses can help with problems pro-blems facing students, such as transportation.

There will be a bike fair next Monday, Mon-day, June 6, at Parley's Park Elementary School at 1 p.m. Along with a McGruff puppet show, a bike safety film and visits with TRON the robot, there will be a drawing for a free BMX bicycle, and all students are eligible. But the most fun thing will be a bike-riding skills course, which means you need to bring your own bicycle to school in order to participate. par-ticipate. The bike fair is being sponsored by the the Park City Police Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, and Jans. The two sponsors have teamed up to purchase the free bike, and the police are also giving away $50 to be used for bike accessories. Students qualify for the drawing by having received a McGruff crime dog poster to color. All students who bring their bikes to school will be able to register them at the bike fair if they haven't already been registered. That makes the bikes easier to identify if they get stolen. Sgt. Bennion of the Park City Police Department said students will be able to talk with the robot, TRON, as well as watch experienced riders do trick bike-riding exhibitions. exhibi-tions. Students will learn safety pointers for riding bikes, such as riding with the traffic, and keeping to the right of the road. Riders should obey all traffic regulations, and use proper hand signals for turning or stopping. Sgt. Bennion also reminds bike riders to stop and look both ways in order to make sure that sidewalks or streets are clear before entering a street. He said riders should walk their bicycles across busy streets and at corners or crosswalks, and they should use proper headlights and red tail lights or reflectors when riding at night. He noted that members of the Summit County Sheriff's Department Depart-ment and the Utah Highway Patrol are assisting with the fair. whmyoure riding, alone , or witK aN (friend, remember to be smart , and be safe imkiA m i mJ mJ Copyright June 1988 National Wile WHO-O-O KNOWS? by Wise Old Owl Q: How can animals see in the dark? A: They can't! No animal can see in complete darkness. But some animals can see in extremely weak light. Being an owl, I can see in one tenth the light that you need to see. That's because I have very special, spe-cial, very large eyes. Q: Why do owls sleep in the day and not at night? A. Like most owls, I hunt at night because that's when I can find the most food. My special eyes and ears help me find nice fat mice and other prey after the sun goes down. And by hunting at night, I don't have to compete with the hawks and other animals that hunt during the day.
