I AFCC has new director The American Fork Children's Choir has welcomed Ruth McOmber Pratt as its new choir director She has studied and taught music in church and school settings throughout through-out her life. She graduated from Idaho State University with a BA in element ary education and minored in music, recertifying at BY I'. She has taken classes with Intermuse in addition to private pri-vate lessons and is a member of IT OLKS Professionally, she taught Pagan roots, 1 , en Marc Haddock HE EDiT COLUf' the Cascade Chorus in Orem for two years with Pam Peterson. Peter-son. For the past three years, she has taught music at Alpine Elementary School and for the past year, has been a pitch teacher at Northfield Elementary. Elemen-tary. Pratt has been a soloist in several productions of Handel's Han-del's Messiah and is the reigning reign-ing 2nd attendant to the 2005 Ms. Senior Utah. The American Fork Children's Choir rehearses Wednesdays from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the American Fork Library. Li-brary. 64 S. 100 East. All children ages 8 to 17 are welcome, no auditions are required re-quired The fee is $35 per month.

So there must be parents out there wlio would send a fourth-grader to school wearing a slurt sporting an obscenity. Bonneville Elementary' in Orem spells out that tliey will not allow face paint or toy weapons. So forget about the KISS costume. Without the makeup, it just wouldn't work. It didn't work for the band either. None of the schools I saw outlaw tattoos, however, so it might be OK to go to the Halloween parade dressed as a pro basketball player, especially if the cMd goes as a pro basketball player who ls complying with the .NBA s new dress code. But I bet if one of those tattoos is an obscenity, someone's gonna be sent home. Bonneville does allow the wearing of masks but only during tlie parade. That will probably suit the kids jut fine. Those masks are seldom comfortable, often hot and and prov ide poor vision at best. Some scliools really get into the spirit of the holiday. Willowcreek Middle School 111 Lehi is allowing the kids to come to school in costume and stay that way all day. although no masks or props are allowed and the costumes must meet dress codes. Orem High School is having a Halloween dance on Saturday, as are many other high schools. They are allowing no masks or fake weaponry'. Probably a good idea, since seme of those high schools kids probably own their own replica of Glamdring. the sword carried by Gandalf the White in "Tlie Lord of the Rings." But while a wizard's staff ls definitely a prop, ls ri a weapon? (Hint: To find out. watch "The Tw o Towers ") Some schools are dropping the school Halloween activities altogether, hoping that the holiday won't interfere with the day's classroom activities. Does anyone think that will work? I doubt it. Despite our best efforts to make the holiday more "nice." goblins and ghosts and vampires and superheroes oh yeah, and all those princesses will still populate the night, and kids will be thinking about that throughout the day. For all the bad press, the appeal of free candy- for the asking continues to make Halloween one of our most popular holidays, pagan roots or no. Candidates Confirmed from Page I parking, signs and nuisance abatement. Jimmie Cates Cates identified his three top goals as providing adequate water for growth, promoting the arts, and making the city financially stable. "The studies that have been done indicate that pressurized irrigation would be the most effective for the long-range," he said. Cates said he would still be willing to consider other oth-er suggestions to see if they would Ix; cost effective. He expressed concern that in Malcolm Mal-colm Beck's term as mayor the city considered a system and nothing happened. "Three years ago we voted for a pressurized pres-surized irrigation system and nothing happened," he said. He encouraged the council to take action soon, since the costs continue to increase. Cates said he would promote pro-mote the arts. "The arts make a better person" he said. He said he would encourage encour-age greater citizen participation participa-tion to build more and better programs. He referred to the Utah Pageant of the Arts, which was known throughout the state for many years, as a great example of the effectiveness effective-ness of volunteerism. He would like to eventually build a cultural arts center. For financial stability, he would have the council consider consid-er the city's long-range needs and require that spending stay within those guidelines. Terry V. Fox Fox has plaits for the city to update its policies, procedures and directives to provide a road map for the future, encourage politeness, responsiveness respon-siveness and understanding in government, and improv e the water supply. "I have been talking to the chief of staff." he said, referring refer-ring to the policies and procedures proce-dures for employees. He said the new documents would need to be reviewed by attorneys, at-torneys, those in government and the mayor and council. "That would help them understand un-derstand and have everyone on the same page." he said. He wanted to have long-term planning for human resources. resourc-es. "Our employees are our number one asset." he said. In the years he has been attending at-tending City Council and other oth-er meetings which involve the public, he said he has often seen people leave not feeling good about the interactions they had with the city. "They should be treated with more dignity." he said. He encouraged the same cooperation and communication communica-tion with other communities and agencies. "Our number one capital improvement project is water." wa-ter." he said. He would like to take the information the city officials have received and make it available to the residents resi-dents to study. Heidi Rodeback Rodeback said her goals were professionalism in government, gov-ernment, economic growth and quality of life in neighborhoods. neighbor-hoods. She said government should have courtesy to prospective businesses and residents, and care for the morale of its employees. em-ployees. That includes offering competitive wages, cost-of-living increases and effective training and communication. "1 would also insist on open government." she said. "That includes amending the agendas agen-das only minimally." "We should make effective use of volunteers. Their efforts ef-forts needs to be supported by a paid volunteer coordinator and communication with the council and mayor." Rodeback advocates hiring a full-time economic director and a grant writer. She outlined out-lined four areas where she would concentrate on to improve im-prove the neighborhoods. "1 would reinstate Neighbors Neigh-bors in Action." she said. "I would provide safe routes to schools not only sidewalks, but cleanup of problem areas, visible patrolling and a partnership part-nership between the schools and police department. I would enact and enforce effective ef-fective nuisance abatement legislation and finish our parks projects. We need to find grants for parking lots, trails and walkways and swings. You can never have enough trees." 1 " ipon |
