"We are aiming at the young family market for these homes, anticipating a price range of as to seventy-fiv- e low as sixty-fiv- e thousand dollars for homes situated on lots of about six thousand five hundred square feet," according to Howlett. Known as Country Meadows Estates, this is the first project of its kind in Draper. "The project incorporates some of the newest ideas for residential developments that have proven successful elsewhere that we believe will work in Draper. Land techniques for the development are consistant with the rural look that exists in Draper," according to Draper Todd councilman City Andersen." The project features a major public parkway to be constructed with no homes fronting on this street, but rather, extensive native landscaping which will create a special "country to the effect" according developer. It will also feature bicycling and jogging trails. The According to city administrator, Nick Zullo, "This type of development is actually more economical and that is one reason the city favored it over and above the traditional subdivision you generally see. Much less tax money will be required to maintain services where the homes are clustered on smaller lots. The overall density, including the landscape amenities, is still three units per acre. "We like this kind of development for Draper where growth can occur in a more orderly manner, which is the idea of a planned development. This is much more attractive than in communities that grow in widely scattered ways, especially where numerous weed and rubbish-strewlots are left in the central part of a community. We would try to avoid that in Draper, and hope to see more of this kind of development which also opens up the community g more to the younger to market," according Greg Newkirk, development coordinator for Draper. n home-buyin- o V Valley Sentinel Volume Continuing The Midvale Sentinel (USPS 347-940- ) Published weekly at 125 W.

According to Owen the new requirements graduation handed down by the state will make the high school program "easier to complete if a student is not serious about being there," but tougher if a student is college bound. not Students anticipating to will be able to on college going choose from a long list of elective classes, while those "aimih,? for college will fmd it more difficult to meet the state graduation requirements and requirements college entry within the confines of a seven period day. Owen believes this will force students desiring to enter college to decide on a particular academic pursuit at an earlier age. "It's going to force kids to make some hard choices about what field they would like to enter and that will be tougher for kids with multiple talents," Owen explained. "So we need to get to the ninth grader earlier." these To accommodate of been talk there's students, all moving activities to hours, but Owen felt that would extra-curricul- non-scho- ol overburden school facilities before and after school and it would be difficult for districts to provide advisors to run those activities. Another possibility mentioned by Owen would be scheduling eight period days, rotating four and four. "A six period day gives you no choice, a seven period day some choice, and an eight period day more choice," continued Owen. "We have to study it and any other options we can come up with." "I think that a lot of people have jumped on the educational bandwagon without realizing that a lot of excellent things are already going on," added district - superintendent Ray Whittenburg. "Yet, as this drive goes on, expectations get higher and we get more mandates from the state." Ken Baker told the board that education received only about the half the $109 million Had had governor requested. that amount been granted in full by the legislature, Baker stated, Utah would have gone from in h to forty-fift- forty-nint- h expenditures per pupil. As an example, Baker pointed to the teacher career ladder While the appropriation. governor had asked for $41 million, only $15.25 million was approved. Districts will then apply to the state for their share of those funds. Jordan's will come to $2.3 million. The money will be used to improve the pay scale for the longest and best serving teachers.
