After a discussion with teachers and parents, Principal Ron Ford made the decision to hold off moving those two grades until after school was out. Ford said, hopefully, the transition would be completed before school starts next fall. One of the parents major worries is the 5th and 6th graders going back and forth to the elementary school during lunch hour. Parents asked for another alternative besides letting the kids just wander over to lunch then back to school. Some suggestions were escorting them, or bussing them. Some parents felt the dress code was unfair and that if the girls couldnt wear levis to school then boys shouldn't be allowed to either. A public meeting will be held in May to discuss the dress codes to set a standard for the next school year. It is in the middle school policy currently that the 7th and 8th grades will keep the same standard of dress code and 5th and 6th grades will not be asked to change theirs for the remainder of this year. One teacher felt the middle school was getting shafted. Of the four classrooms for the 5th and 6th graders in the middle school building, one is smaller than the present room at the elementary; and one has skylights instead of windows. Ron Ford reported that windows were to be installed in that classroom before next fall, along with completion of items that the fire marshal has instructed the school board to do toward upgrading the building. Fifth and sixth grade teachers felt a burden was placed on them for the last few weeks of this school year when they each had to absorb five more students into their already large classes because Mr. Ford had on-goi- RAINDROPS ON THE WINDSHIELO-Th- at was the fare for the day Monday as the Kanab area received One hundred and five (105) students representing fourteen high schools and five districts will compete for awards and honors in the Sixth Annual Southwest Utah Sterling Scholar competition, to be held in the Auditorium at Dixie College on Thursday, April 5, 1984.

Pipe Spring National Monument - Kanab Man Dies in Freak Accident A tragic electical accident took the life of Tracy Bunting, 27, of Kanab, about 4 p.m. Tuesday, while he was working on an electric pole near Big Water in eastern Kane County. According to a Garkane Power Company spokesman, Tracy was working on a pole at Fish and Game ponds in the Big Water area with lineman, Mike Talbot of Panguitch. The job they were working on, with several other workers in that general area, was almost completed and Talbot went down to get a hot stick. While his back was turned the accident occurred. Talbot heard the arc, turned and could see that Bunting was limp. He quickly got him down from the pole and began CPR. An ambulance was called and Bunting was transported to Page where doctors worked on him, but the efforts failed to revive him. No one is sure just what happened, but the spokesman said they were working with a ground wire and that it somehow came in contact with a conductor. Tracy was a apprentice with Garkane Power.

MIN 20 ( Service District Trying To Settle Road Conflict Out of Court The battle between the Western Kane County Special Service District and Jackson Cattle Company over the disposition of part of the road to the new landfill was heard in court in late February, at which time the judge ruled that the road was a private roadway, ruling in favor of the Jacksons.
