Take a few minutes to read it. by ANDREA MATHER Record staff writer Extra. Extra. A special edition newspaper is hitting Park City streets this week. The eighth annual edition of the Treasure Mountain Record is hot off the presses. The paper is a joint effort between Betsy Bacon's Treasure Mountain Middle School fifth-grade class and the Record. However, it is largely the students' project because they did it all including the . initial brainstorming of story ideas, selling of ads, interviewing, writing, drawing the ads, taking photos and editing copy. On May 14-15, they came to the Record office and laid out the paper. Record staff members: Teri Orr, editor, Pamela Hainsworth, director of advertising; David Bertinelli, photographer; and Andrea Mather, reporter, provided the support services to the students. Bacon geared lesson plans around the project. Liz Wasilewski who served as co-editor co-editor of Treasure Mountain Record said the best part of the process was laying it out. "I liked when we put it altogether. It was fun to see when we had nothing and then see the paper when it was done." Her co-editor, Stacey Brewster, agreed but said another aspect she enjoyed was editing people's stories and taking ten-minute breaks. Andy Ryder said he learned that journalism can be fun."If what we did was what all these reporters did all day, then they had a pretty cool job. Especially because they got to go out of the place." The front and back page of the tabloid is what the editors are most proud of. Nick DcNunzio, who was the staffs director of advertising, agreed and said,"I like how the front page evened the paper out and looked really good. It made somebody really look at our newspaper. The back page just finished it all off." Wasilewski said the Create-An-Ad Contest funded the production and printing costs of the students' paper, said Hainsworth. "The reason we did incorporate the Create-An-Ad Contest is to offset printing and production costs. The reward for everyone is to learn how a complete newspaper works." Last year the student advertising representatives sold 40 ads as compared with 18 the year before, she said. DeNunzio said at one point he had to tell his ad reps to stop selling ads.

According to DeNunzio, an argument began when he attempted to place an ad on the same page Brewster was laying out. However, it was quickly resolved. the office), you lost it" Bacon said this year's paper is the best ever. She attributes it to the fact that the student staff is a year older than staffs previously. "At this age, they were able to do more layout and stories in detail and depth." Another big difference TMMS fifth-grader Andy Ryder said, "if what we did all day was what ail these reporters did all day, then they had a pretty cool job'.1 Besides learning diplomacy and decision-making, the staff also learned that the newspaper business is tiring. DeNunzio admitted"! usually do not take any naps, but I took a five-hour nap Saturday." - Wasilewski said,"It was tiring but when you went out to recess you kind of got your energy back. But when you walked back in (to she said was the extra time and help the Record's staff spent with the students. The student newspaper gave students the opportunity to use their education in a different way. Bacon said it increased their understanding of newspapers and gave them contact with the community. The students also used their skills including math, cooperative learning, interviewing, writing, editing, organization and sales. The student staff will probably never look at a paper in the same way. Ryder said, "I'll look at it differently because before when I looked at a newspaper I'd think,"Oh, wow there is this newspaper that suddenly appeared on my doorstep." Ryder said he never thought about the people and the process behind the pages. Wasilewski said,"When I used to look at a paper, it seemed like it would be really easy to put together. But when you make it, you realize they have to make everything in order, spelled right and perfect before it is a decent thing." photos by Andrea Mather LUHCH SPECIALS Served from 11 am - 3:30 pm Served with Soup and Ham Fried Rice Egg Roll ad .69, Fried Shrimp add .89 Served with Soup, Egg Roll, and Steamed Rice.
