That time would be spent on reading and literacy; other subjects would be taught during the middle of the day when all students were present. Productivity models allow schools to accommodate 15 , percent to 20 percent more students, Seastrand said. Using a productivity model and with portable classrooms on site, Pony Express Elementary School in Eagle Mountain is accommodating about 1,300 its second students this year Continued from Cl superintendent over kindergarten through sixth grades. "If we did not have extend- - . ed day, we would most likely have to build three to four schools to accommodate that number of students," Seastrand said. In the standard extended-da- y model half the student body arrives early and works on core subjects with their teachers. The other half arrives late arid spends the morning jrLsnisrialtyjasses such as art or computers. In the afternoon, the two groups switch, with the first group attending specialty classes and leaving early and the second group staying later for core subjects, The modified extended-da- y model is being considered for Freedom Elementary. If adopted, half of a teacher's class would arrive at 8 a.m. and leave at 2 p.m. The remaining students would arrive at 9:30 a.m. and leave at 3:30 p.m. , Teachers would be able to spend more individual time with students during the hour and a half at the beginning and I I!

"Brigham City seems overdue," he said. "You can late all you want, but let's face it, we haven't learned to predict earthquakes yet. We can take some guesses." Researchers l.uve dug about 100 trenches along the Wasatch Fault looking for data on historic earthquakes, lCluding six in Utah County, he said. Ancient forest fires leave charcoal in the soil, and researchers dig trenches looking for the charcoal, which can be carbon-date- d and then matched with soil layers on both sides of the fault to show when major earthquakes have occurred. "A trench is about 14 feet deep, which is about the limit of a backhoe," he said. "Fourteen feet takes you back about 5,000 years, so the dirt at the bottom of the trench is 5,000 years old. The purpose is to dig and find charcoal so you can get datable material. Faults are easy to find; charcoal is hard to find." One of the best places in Utah for finding charcoal in a fault trench is in Mapleton, he said. Researchers have dug two trenches in Mapleton looking for data and have just completed a third "super trench," which is 28 feet deep.

A new elementary school scheduled to be completed in August in Eagle Mountain will remove some of the students from Pony Express. Seastrand said enrollment at Freedom Elementary Will be monitored to determine when and if another new school will be needed. The decision to build a new school is based on a formula outlined by the district's board of education, Seastrand said.

Fault lines are not necessarily a good indicator of dangerous earthquake zones, he said. The Wasatch Fault runs along the mountain benches in Utah County, but the collision of the tectonic plates that causes the fault line is happening directly beneath Utah Lake. "The fault line may be along the mountain, but the earthquake will be by the lake," he said, noting that the mountain areas would still feel a major quake and sustain damage. Statistically, earthquakes pose much less danger than mudslides or automobile accidents, he said. "You don't really need to be afraid of an earthquake," he said,with a smile.

A total of 32 agencies are involved in the HOPE task force, including Provo School District. Since its 1999 beginning, HOPE has created brochures, implemented pilot suicide prevention programs in three Provo School District schools, and educated youth leaders, clergy and others about suicide prevention. "Our next step is to train all the coaches in Provo city," Hud-na- ll said. m Few communities in Utah have a similar type of task force; his organization is constantly asked to make presentations all over the state, Hudnall said. "Our goal is to get sign-up- s today and from that develop a statewide task force to develop how do we make this a statewide program and how do we most effectively deal with these types of situations," Hudnall said. school During the 2002-0year, 43 students in Provo School District attempted or threatened suicide. None was successful, but 12 students were hospitalized, Hudnall said. Trisha Keller, manager of the Violence and Injury Prevention 3 Program at the Utah Departof ment of Health and the Utah Youth Suicide Preven tion Task Force, said states in the Intermountain West have higher rates of suicide than the rest of the nation. The reason for this is unknown. "We need to continue to raise the awareness of the general population in Utah of the suicide problem," Keller said. "So many times people want to hide their head in the sand ... and not address the issue." A statewide suicide prevention jnlan that has been in devpl- opment for three years will be completed by May, Keller said. ir I Christi C.
