Show Monday, November 23, Viewpoint: 3-- A State Football By JACK Hll.L While this issue is being pul together, the 3-- State Football Championship game is being played at Rice Stadium in Salt Lake City. Judge and Jordan, two fine teams are battling for the State Crown, something every 3-- player and coach dreamed of back in August. Hundreds of high school athletes wanted to be at "Rice" for the showdown, but only two teams can be on the field. But whore are those hundreds of football players who dreamed of Slate glory! Are they there to see the finest in their division play for the number one spot. NO! With the exception of the two teams and a handful of players in the crowd, the vast majority of these athletes are grunting and groaning in some sweaty wrestling room or pounding up and down the hardwoods passing and shooting the basketball. Now there's nothing wrong with wrestling and basketball. But why in this society, even at the high school level, can't we get one sport over before we start the next! Every high school player and fan should be at Rice Stadium for the Championship. All 30. 000 seals should be occupied with spectators to wit-ness the best teams in action and share in the thrill of a championship game. This notion of "if we ain't playing, we ain't going" is hogwash. Alter the final game is finished, when all the blocks and tackles, forward passes and punts are over for the year, then each school should start basketball and wrestling, (lood grief, the winter sports season is too long anyway. Of course, this sad story will be repealed in February and March. While the best are struggling on Ihe mal and basketball floor for Slate honors, where will all the other wrestlers and basketball players be? Thai's righl, working out for baseball, soccer and track. I,el's finish one spoil before we start the nexl. 1 J Goals Set for Gifted Students In the initial meeting for the 1981-8- 2 school year, ADAGE (Alpine District Association for Gifted Education) determined several primary goals and shared upcoming op-portunities for parents to enroll gifted and or File under Ihe auspices i of Donalcr Eiscnharl 1 thai parents and j teachers can use lo draw on for help for ( Gifted Education. This i file is lo include names I of people talented and j willing lo share Iheir I talents either as i mentors, or leachers, or back-u- p persons for programs and classes wanted within the district for gifted. Eisenhart is in- - I terested in hearing from I patrons throughout the l district, at 768-847- I bored children in classes s p e e i a y designed for them. President of ADAGK Sally Taggarl informed parents attending the September meeting that t v o e o m m u n i I y education programs are now being formulated for bright and interested elementary children in Science lo be pari of the Community Ed agenda this next term. The other class is undergoing organizati-on and parents or in-terested individuals are encouraged to contact Karen Ferry if they have ideas or particilar subjects they want to see offered for gifted through the Community Ed program. The Science Class for Gifted Elementary students is to be taught by Peggy Caan at Mountain View High School and will need a minimum of ten enrolled to carry the class. Parents should watch for the Com-munity Ed. mailer. Taggart also noted that goals for the coming year are essentially a carry-Ihroug- h of goals sel last spring as Ih e organization was born; a policy for gifted needs to be written for Alpine School District, and a district liason is needed. Taggarl says some progress is being made toward achieving these goals, as Dr. Stanley Leavitt is now officially the district person to contact with questions and needs concerning gifted. An adivsory com-mittee is currently writing a policy statement that is to be finished by late Sep-tember, according to Taggarl. "This should help with the problem of getting different treatment at different schools," says Taggart. "In the past, the school you live in determined what ser-vice, if any, you can get for gifted children." Taggart mentioned too, that the district is creating a Resource fTuyone BrgMacSdwich I""asV II GETONE fglK II Sand present fe lWit ' this coupon when buying .ff l a Big Mac and you'll get g I V I another Big Mac free!
