of 160.
Quance who had his grandmother
in the truck with him called his father

him his rights and the accused never
asked to call his lawyer.

A new visual arts curriculum was
the theme of a presentation made to
the board by Sam Alberico, principal.
of St. Aloysius School.
The new curriculum has been
developed over the past two years and
focuses on the process of creating art
rather than on the product.
The curriculum provides teachers
with everything they need to teach
visual arts and is more "user-
fl-iendly" than the older arts
curriculum.
The general objective of the cur-
riculum is to make visual arts
recognizable as an important subject
when it comes to funding, teaching at- .
titudes, and time.
The program is currently
developed only for Grades 1 to 6 but
programs for Grades 7 and 8 will
follow shortly.
The board agreed that the visual
arts curriculum :,hu;:ld. be im-
plemented, starting September 14.
ALHRM
Members of the Crediton fire
department went on a wild goose
chase Sunday night as the result of a
false alarm call.
Dave McDonald took the call
from a person who said the fire was
near the Mount Carmel school, but
would not give his name or location.
Apparently there was a small brush
fire out in the field, but it was not
close to any builtup area and not
dangerous.
Fire officials believe the call was
made some distance from the actual
fire and,thought it was in the area of
Mount Carmel.
