Local helps unearth ancient city of Chersonese in the Crimea by NATE FERGUSON Record staff writer There aren't too many places anymore where one can get a meal for sixty cents, unless of course you travel to the resort community of Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Called the Black Sea Project, Park City resident and sophomore at the University of Puget Sound, Brandon Cunningham, participated participat-ed in a one- month archaeological dig this summer, looking for signs of the presence of Judaism in the 2000-year- old city of Chersonese. What led to the ruin of the ancient city, besides numerous take overs, the Crimean War and being bombed by Nazi's in World War II, was the removal of rock by the Russians to build the modern city of Sevastopol located two miles to the southwest, population 300,000. Although much remains of Chersonese, which has become a popular tourist spot, the going was slow according to Cunningham. Since European, as opposed to American archaeological methods, are treated more as an art than a science, the dig was far from meticulous. Using pick axes, Cunningham said, "We were able to remove about five centimeters per hour of dirt." Partly embedded in earth and partly restored as a standing museum muse-um now, Chersonese was once a trading and military center for the ancient world. With its geographic location the modern Russian military, mili-tary, with its 12 time zones to defend, took refuge there, most notably the Black Sea Fleet. After the break-up of the Soviet Union secrecy was reduced thus allowing modern archaeologists to practice their craft. Although this particular dig did not produce evidence in positive association with Judaism, other digs did provide evidence of a Jewish settlement. Inscribed plaster plas-ter had led scientists to believe there was Jewish presence in the first through the fourth centuries. And tombs with human remains and ancient Hebrew script on the mosaic floor next to the mausoleum mau-soleum were found. Plaguing this dig, as in other digs in the latter part of this century, centu-ry, were the inaccuracies of previous previ-ous expeditions. Translators had to sift through Russian text prepared by writers who were operating under government constraints and could not report exactly what they saw. People who lived thousands of years ago were no more perfect and made mistakes like people of today, said Cunningham.

Yarrow hosts annual Community of Caring National Convention by NATE FERGUSON Record staff writer Community of Caring held its annual national convention at the Yarrow Hotel during the last week in July. Sponsored by the Joe A. Kennedy Foundation, about 200 hundred people attended the event and discussed ways of communicating values in schools. One participant, local parent par-ent Jo Duthie was responsible for starting the program in Park City after her experience at the Treasure Mountain Middle School. In her speech at the convention Duthie stated: "My older son is dyslexic. This meant that he had problems and I was in the schools working with teachers for him a lot. Because I was there, I saw some behaviors in his middle school which were absolutely unacceptable and totally intolerable, such as putting heads in toilets, throwing kids in trash bins and smearing one kid with snow while others looked on and laughed. Generally, it was spoiled brat behavior. So, I started start-ed reading about moms in the ghettos who were making a difference. About people who dreamed about bettering their communities, and who succeeded. That inspired me to have a dream of a middle school that embodied the values that our society was losing so fast." The organization, made up chiefly of parents, goes into schools and helps teachers improve the quality of education. Among the values they communicate are: responsibility, respect, trust, family and caring. The values are incorporat ed into the curriculum in all subjects. In history for instance, respect can be understood by students if they are taught why historical figures were respected. And trust can be learned when students are blind folded and follow each other around. While Eunice Shriver, the driving force behind the national organization, was in Park City during the convention conven-tion she noticed the town's uniqueness since so many parents par-ents were involved Duthie estimates between 50 and 60. Nationally, the organization has noticed a reduction in teen pregnancy, truancy and teacher absence, while there has been an increase in test scores where the program has been implemented. "It's kind of intangible, but kind of amazing." Duthie said. 1 CEDAR DRAW ESTATES Where you CAN see the forest from the trees cy LOOK AT THIS!!!
