Vernal Express How to judge a book The Nebo School District may set up a literary PAYSON review committee to pass judgment on required readings for students. Last week, after protests from several parents, the board decided to drop A Day No Pigs Would Die, by Robert Newton Peck from the reading list at Payson Middle School. The book was read aloud in seventh-grade classes, but several parents thought that material was not and approached the board about removing the book from the classroom. and lower The book was removed last week from ninth-grad- e classes in Payson but no district wide decisions had been made according to District Superintendent Dennis Poulsen. He said a literary review committee may be the answer. Were studying it and looking at other districts. The book is also part of reading lists at the Spanish Fork Intermediate School. The book has been pulled at the intermediate school sparking discussion among faculty and school officials. With the end of school just weeks away, the committee may not be formed immediately. A literary committee could read books on the required list and make suggestions on which ones should be read and to what age groups. Phoebe Gardner, one of the parents upset that her child had to hear the book in class, felt the material was too graphic for teenagers. Of particular concern was a detailed account of pigs mating, an account she claims more indicative or rape than animal husbandry. The idea of a literary committee is still in its infancy but district officials say such a committee could screen books before they are used in the classroom. Spanish Fork Press Plaintiff says decision is the pits No damages will be awarded in a personal injury ROOSEVELT- lawsuit filed against the Duchesne County School District by a Roosevelt woman injured on district property three years ago. an Eighth District Following four days of testimony May Court jury in Roosevelt found the plaintiff in the case, Toni Bowker, to be 70 percent at fault and the Duchesne County School District to be 30 percent at fault for an accident which occurred in the Districts Roosevelt Bus garage. According to court records, Bowker had sought an unspecified amount in general and special damages in her civil suit for injuries to her knee when she fell into an open grease pit at the bus garage in 2-- 5, May. 1991. I asked for compensation of my medical bills, Bowker said, which comes close to $20,000. And, we asked for money at the discretion of the court to cover general damages. According to court testimony, Bowker had gone to the garage that day to find out why her daughter hadnt been picked up for a school outing. In the process of trying to find someone to talk to she failed to notice the open grease pit and fell into it. Bowker testified the pit should have been covered. During a phone interview later, Bowker said the jurys decision was tough to take. The open pit was not visible. The thing that frustrates me is that the school district has spent around three times the amount in court costs to avoid paying a medical bill of $20,000. I think its a joke. District employees . t the garage helped Bowker out of the pit and took her to the Duches ie County Hospital for treatment of an injured knee. Bowker has undergone two surgeries since.
