School enrollments are based on the number of students in grades 2 who were registered at the school against geographic rivals Monticello and San Juan would count in its own region 10-1- standings, allowing them to pare its schedule against faraway opponents by a game or on Oct. 1, 2003, excluding special education, home schooled two. and hospitalized students. We feel better about that than to be off on our own and not being able to get any Grand County Highs enrollment on that date was 366 students, placing it roughly in the middle of the newly proposed 2A range of 150 to 450 students. This range is slightly lower than the previous 2A that was range of 165-49- 9 used to create the classification scheme currently in ef- games, Dolphin said. For football, 2A schools would remain grouped into two divisions, since not every 2A school Helds a football team. Time out of school is the most important thing to me," Dolphin said, noting that if fect. The UHSAAs Nov. 20 proposal had a total of 23 2A schools grouped into four regions. Under that proposal, Grand (366 students) was placed in Region 15 along with four other schools: Emery (currently 3A, with 536 students), San Juan (307), Monticello (152) and Whitehorse (which has always been 1A, with 149). Dolphin said although it was a good idea to put the three southeast Utah 2A schools back together in the same region, he had serious concerns about the size discrepancy between Emery and the two small schools of Monticello and Whitehorse. There is an equation that to has be in place, which is the 1:3 ratio. In other words, the smallest school should be at least a third the size of the largest school. Dolphin said, noting that serious safety concerns arise if this ratio is exceeded. Under the current students come back from a midweek road trip at 2 a.m., theyre not really ready for school the next day. Reducing our travel time is in the best interest of the kids. I think almost everyone in 2A can live with the current proposal, which is more realistic, Dolphin added. However, its still a work in progress, he cautioned, noting that its possible some of the schools currently projected to move to 4A may decide that theyd rather remain in 3A, causing a trickle down effect to the lower classifications. That could put us right back in a nasty situation, he said. Dolphin said that with the latest proposal, the UHSAA did away with the soft zone cutoff idea, which was unpopular with the 2A schools in particular Schools in the soft zones would have been able to go either to the higher or the lower classification.

There has been some interest from a few local contractors, said McElhaney. Most ofthe interest is for the 40 acre piece. Nobody has asked about the 80 acre parcel. McElhaney noted that the land went on the market during the holidays, which he says is not a good time for real estate purchases. He suggested that GWSSA might want to split the 80 acre parcel in half to make it more saleable. Judy Carmichael, county council member, said that it was likely that GWSSA could make an agricultural split of use a system that is proven to get results. No radical changes.

Southeastern Utah District Health Department is one of ten local health departments in Utah that recently received funding from the Department of Health Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program (HDSPP). The purpose of these local grants is to promote active a community environment, where people can safely walk, ride bicycles, and increase their physical activ- hometowners - people who left, started a business, and may want to bring it back to Moab. They would be conretacted through unions, families and other informal channels. Sue Larsen, regional head of Zions Bank, says the city of Monticello is giving land to such a company for its synthetic railroad-ti- e business. Mayor Dave Sakrison also suggested establishing a local revolving loan fund, which bridges or replaces bank financing in certain circumstances, and appealing to the Bureau of Land Management to establish a regional training center here. Greg Schem, whose Moab Paper Co. and InkjetGoodies.com have added four employees and may build their own facility soon, wanted to use positive to attract business, and was nominated along with other marketers to g lead seminars. Last weeks brainstorming should be shaped into a coherent strategy at the second meeting, scheduled for January 22. No matter what, the economic development offices mission to act as a catalyst will continue.
