After the fireworks, the distant thunder moved in and huge drops of rain began to fall Country Tair Days began early, 7 a m , for the 106 participants who ran or walked in the th Annual Richard Bouchard Memorial 5K. Vonda Bouchard, Richard's mother, said that Richard ran in the 5K race every year from the lime he was about 13 years old. After he returned from an LDS mission he took charge of the race and spearheaded it for a few years before he was tragically killed in an automobile accident on U S 89 Since that time the race has been run in his name. Its so nice to have people remember him, said Vonda Bouchard, also acknowledging the many people and businesses who, when approached to donate prizes for the race, said that they remember Richard and were more than willing to donate goods for the memorial 5K. After the characteristic morning winds coming through the canyon died down, the parade began with sirens that could be heard for more than 10 mirules before the vehicles making the noise could be seen. Most parade goers wailed patiently, anu the little ones not so patiently, for the noisy fire engines, Davis County Shemfs Departments DARL car and paramedics to arrive signifying the start of the parade.

For years many have known about the philosophy born decades ago and created to help young adolescents on more than just an academic level Creating programs to help students developmcntally, socially and academically started a long time ago, said Jane Muna, principal of Centerville Junior High School. And its definitely something needed in junior high schools that have maintained the largest student-teachratio for years, administrators say. Here we are with kids from 11 to 15 needing a lot more caring and an educational community for learning We need smaller classroom sizes, more personnel, and here we are trying to make our junior highs into mini high schools, said Muna, whose school at 1,500 students is the largest junior high in the district. This year the district will implement the middle school philosophy in its junior highs without actually changing them to middle schools Since the philosophy is centered around the idea that sixth-- , s seventh- - and need special skills and special attention as they make the transition from elementary school, teachers admit incorporating the plan will be a challenge. It's intended to help them to get the support they need on the social level and to help them make the transition to adulthood, said Paul Bamcwicz, who teaches eighth grade at Centerville Junior High School. A middle school is made up of grades fifth through eighth, whereas a junior high school consists of grades seventh through ninth. There are no middle schools m the Dav is district, but there are 13 junior high schools m which teachers will put the plan to work beginning next school term. 93- SLundanj Eanwef purchases to the counter at the Mervyn s store at LAYTON - It was like letting kids loose in a candy store Only this time, the treat was sweeter.
