MERBACK Of the Record staff "I'm happy when..." That's the question students at Parley's Park Elementary School had to answer when entering the 2003 Reflections contest. For some it was when they were riding horses for olhers it was thinking about their friends. Established in 1969 by Colorado Parent Teacher Association (PTA) President Mary Lou Anderson, the Reflections Program provides students in grades kindergarten through twelfth grade the opportunity oppor-tunity to create and submit their works of art in four categories: literature, music composition, visual arts and photography. Then Reflections contest in Utah has four additional categories: dance, theater, film video and three dimensional. Judged on four PTA levels - local, council-level, council-level, regional and state - winners win-ners are sent on to the national competition. '"We have over 60,000 kids enter the Reflections contest in Utah each year," said Reflections Chair for the Utah PTA Program needs funding for new Continued from A-9 the labels to get the true prices," said Reid. Dickson also took the time to answer the students' questions which ran from filmmaking to her political views. She encouraged encour-aged them to study something other than film in their undergraduate under-graduate work because that's where they will get their ideas. "Start by making a film about something you know. Think of yourself as an artist and do things from a fresh angle," said . Dickson. Dickson studied English as an undergraduate, but during her senior year she took a film class and decided "that was it." She went on to do her graduate work in film at NewYork University. Although she has ideas for feature fea-ture films, Dickson" makes documentaries, docu-mentaries, or nonfiction films Las- .. www.

This is the first year Parley's Park has competed after they recently became a formal PTA versus a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), making them eligible to submit entries. Principal Pat Flynn says the turnout was pretty good. "The kids did a great job," he said. In a small ceremony at the school, the students each received a blue ribbon. Fifth-grader Fifth-grader Melissa Emerson's picture of a lighthouse at dusk won in the visual arts category. "I like watching them," she said about lighthouses. Megan Librizzi, a third-grader, entered a photo collage of her cats Blacky and Milo. She says the two are her favorite animals. "I'm happy when my cats are happy," said Librizzi. PTA member and Reflections Chair Kathy Clark, was asked by the PTA to organize the Parley's Park contest after moving to Park City this summer. "I was thrilled to initiate the program because I think it is a great way to promote the arts in schools and it is (virtually) free for all who want to enter," she said. Fifth-grader Kelsey Vik was the only winner in the literature category. Her poem was inspired by a Park City High School foot- she calls them. "Nonfiction films have a three-act classical structure," said Dickson. With films such as "Lake's Kin" about three generations of African Americans from the Mississippi Delta living in poverty pover-ty and "Ruth and Connie: Every Room in the House," the love story of two Jewish grandmothers, grandmoth-ers, she's been nominated for three Academy Awards and is a memberof the Academy of Mption Picture Arts and Sciences. Dickson just finished a film about a ballet dancer in Cuba and is toying with the idea of a film about the Patriot Act. She says, she sees everything in terms of film and continues her work despite the lack of funding at times. "The money isn't there, but I keep at it," said Dickson.

Clark became involved with the Reflections contest while in Salt Lake City, where she and her family lived for five years. "There was a huge tradition at Uintah Elementary School," added Clark. The 13 Parley's Park winning entries now move on to the regional level of competition which includes Heber City and about the need for additional funds. His program runs on a small budget of $6,000 and the amount lessens each year, while the need for better equipment for the students to use still grows. He created the high . school's 17 years ago, and when faced with the choice of leaving it seven years ago to work as the Fine Art Department Chair in Drama at the Eccles Center side of things, he chose to stay put.
