The idea was for the students to cover enough distance, in kilometers, on a course laid out on the school grounds andor on their own to reach from Westvale to Washington D.C. Anything after that would be considered The students reached their primary target, Washington, with time to spare, but the close of the school year would have left them stranded in Illinois, had they actually been out on the road. "The students really got into this program," reported teacher Norm Springer. "They just ran themselves to death. Not only did they reach Washington, but coming they got us halfway back the other direction. " ' Two of those responsible for the success of the program are students David Barney and "icing-on-the-cake- ." f rf:-r;,: c David Hilton. Barney turned in a total of 800 kilometers and Hilton 650. Both young men stated that it was the first serious running they'd ever been involved in. "I used to run just once a week," noted Barney, "usually on Saturday, but nothing like this." "Our teacher, Mr. Springer, warned us about two weeks in advance that he was going to be starting this up," added Hilton. "That gave us a chance to start getting into shape.", The two boys said that they ran on an average of three to five times a week. While their totals were tops at Westvale; there were many other students that contributed 100 kilometers or more. According to Springer, more than half of the school's fifth graders stayed with the with personal program competition being one of the major motivating factors. "When we first started out I was really ahead of David (Barney), but then he caught up f IT TV 1 1 in i vl- - u i; JXil ' I ! i Hilton and went past me, explained. "I've been chasing him ever since. A large map of the U.S. was hung up on the wall, flags showing the students' progress. The students, running during the worst weather period of the year, reached Washington D.C, 3200 kilometers distant, sometime in January then started the return trip. Springer pointed out that the program was not meant merely as a physical fitness activity. As the students passed through each region and state, they studied about those areas, their people, products, history, topography, and etc. The trip was measured in kilometers as a help in teaching the metric system. "It was kind of hard on some of the students when they first started out," . Springer continued. "But, by the end of the year they got so they couldn't stand not to run."

The South Jordan police department issued a blanket warning to parents this week to be alert to the hazards presented to their children now that school has let out for the summer. According to Lt. Bud Stevens, "Parents need to be especially aler. t, because of the high water danger, not only on the Jordan River, but on the canals." Lt. Stevens has observed many kids wading in and around the riverbpttoms near 10600 S. shooting and spearing fish. "That current is deadly," says Lt. Stevens. "If they step off into a hole or hidden ditch, they'll be sucked downstream. As a parent I would instruct my kids not to even play in the area near the river." Another hazard is the canal along 1300 W. near 10500 S. Lt. Stevens has been watching youths with rubber rafts in the "Kids seem to be so restricted nowdays, we don't want to harm their summer fun, but if we have to, we will go to the canal company for help in keeping the kids off the water." In addition to water safety, Stevens reminds parents that they have been relying on the schools to watch their children. "Parents need to watch out for their own kids. There will be a lot of kids running around out !...'..'',". . I - West Jordan 7080 S. I700W: Free Checking .' 7095 S. 'State Mklvalc with a $98 balance. 10625 S. State SanJy Memhe FDIC.
