The new members, Val Chin, Jan Sloan, and Greg Schirf, shouldn't have much trouble catching up as all three have been school district observers for some time. The three departing members, Ralph Hale, Nancy Garbett, and Ed Axtell, sat through their last board meeting Dec. 13: Hale and Garbett are both retiring from board service, ser-vice, Axtell was upset in a campaign against Schirf. Chin and Sloan are both parents of Park City students, and they have both served the school district as volunteers at the schools and by volunteering for school board committees. com-mittees. Schirf, who says he's been following follow-ing board of educaction issues through the media and meeting minutes, has not been as involved with district affairs, but other experiences ex-periences should prepare him for district service. Schirf has served on the board of directors of KPCW, and he is the owner of a local brewery. Both experiences ex-periences have given him experience ex-perience working with budgets and trying to please the public. All three board members will be faced with trying to maintain teacher salary schedules, reduce in flated class sizes, and keep academic standards high. With the current financial crunch facing the district, the new members are going to have to ask for more from Park City. "I'm proud of what we've accomplished in the last eight years," said departing member Hale. "We had to ask for more money, and Park City responded positively. I hope the new board can find ways to finance some of the things the district needs, like an addition ad-dition to the elementary school."

Project Teamwork has been developed by Governor Bangerter's staff and members of the Governor's Drug Advisory council along with the Utah Federation for Drug Free Youth and various sponsoring businesses. Project Teamwork was designed to encourage local involvement involve-ment in school programs to combat drugs and to encourage students to work together as teams in the fight against drugs in our school systems. Summit County and Wasatch County middle and high schools were asked to cooperate in Project Teamwork. Schools participating sent a team of volunteer students along with advisors to share in the seminar. Project Teamwork goals are to use these teams to develop an action plan so every school in Wasatch and Summit County will educate students and adults about drugs and wipe out drug use. By bringing together students, faculty and staff to combat drug use locally there is a greater chance of success. The seminar consisted of nationally national-ly known speakers on various subjects sub-jects that concern our youth today. Brent Ward, U.S. attorney for Utah, represented Gov. Bangerter and addressed ad-dressed the students on the fundamentals fun-damentals of Project Teamwork. Some of the other topics covered were Dynamics of Dependency, Stress and Natural Highs, Teen and Aids, Eating Disorders, DepressionSuicide Depres-sionSuicide and others. Toward the end of the seminar, each team of students from the different schools formed small groups and worked together to brainstorm ideas, projects, pro-jects, and activities that they could utilize in the schools by the teams. The team discussed topics, shared feelings and interacted with each other on the subject of drug usage in their schools. One of the main objectives objec-tives of the seminar is that the teams will go back to their respective schools and implement their ideas and activities to promote a drug-free school. The use of alcohol and drugs in our schools is increasing in alarming figures. Here are some of the latest statistics gathered by the National Institute on Drug Abuse: 1. One out of 20 high school seniors drink alcohol. 2. The average age of a student staring star-ing to drink is now 12.9 years. 3. Over six percent of the 6th to 8th graders have smoked marijuana and about two smoke it at least weekly. 4. One out of four high school seniors have tried stimulants without medical attention. 5. One out of four children in every classroom lives in a chemically dependent household. 6. One out of five high school seniors smokes cigarettes daily, one out of 10 chews tobacco. Although the drug problem is not as severe as that in many states, we must do all we can to lessen it even more. Projects like Project Teamwork Team-work will help us ensure that our schools are promoting a healthy lifestyle and are taking a stand against drugs.
