Ordinance for city swimming pool adopted "School days, school days, Dear old Golden Rule days, Readin', ritin', rithmatic Talk to the tune of a Hickory Stick." A few things have changed in today's schools, making this old song a lit - tle less accurate. The three Rs are still just as rele- vant; however the hickory stick has been replaced by a kinder, gentler discipline. The "golden rule" is still ap - propriate and is evident in the modem approach to physical education. Physical education used to be a painful experience for some youngsters, who were always the last to be chosen for games. The new and more humane ap - proach is that of compet- ing with oneself, support- ing all the other players positively and giving every- one a chance to play. Not only that, a variety of phys- ical activities is offered in- stead of only the old stand- bys such as baseball. In the "olden days" a whole lot of females bought into the myth that girls were not supposed to be good at math. The few who could not help them - selves were looked at as "egg heads." Consequently a whole bunch of little girls shunned the learn - ing of numbers, fearing they would be doing a "boy" thing. I had an occasion to pe - ruse a sixth grade math text. Wow. What a change since a long time ago. After looking through the book, I have a whole new mind set in respect of math. Accord - ing to the well-written man- ual that relates to all kinds of things in life and can ac- tually make beyond mem- orizing, multiplication ta- bles. Not only that, the text had pictures of both sexes accomplishing mathemati- cal tasks. I remember being famil- iar with how many pounds equal one bushel and that it was a different it was a dif- ferent number of pounds depending on whether you were measuring corn is 56 pounds, oats 32 pounds, clover seed 60 pounds, or onions at 57 pounds a bushel basket. This was very important to my math teacher, somehow, being a city girl; I could never re - late it to my life. With some criticism of schools these days, we tend to overlook the positive changes and try to throw the "baby with the bath water." As for me these days I may want to get one of those new math books. The fact is that the Common Core State Standards pro- vide clear expectations for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Yes, teachers are currently working dil - igently with the students these days. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.

Police logs reDDing » They say go big or go home, and Redding's Sundial Bridge Celebrate 10 event is just that — big. Celebrate 10 offers vis - itors and locals a pleth- ora of activities, concerts, events and performances starting June 20 and a fi- nale Freedom Celebration event on July 4, all to cele- brate the 10th Anniversary of the world's largest work- ing Sundial Bridge. On opening night, Ban- daloop dance company will create a site-reactive ver- tical dance celebrating the Sundial Bridge, seamlessly weav ing dynamic physi- cality, intricate choreog- raphy and the art of climb- ing, even to the top of the 217-foot-high pylon. Celebration highlights a l s o i nclude a fa m i ly- friendly f loat on the river and the Sundial Celebration at The Civic, an evening of food, music and fun on The Civic's lawn. Special Turtle Bay Ex - ploration Park activities and exhibits, as well as free nightly concerts at the outdoor, Riverfront Am - phitheater will fill the two- week celebration with fun for everyone. Redding's an- nual Freedom Festival will close out Celebrate 10 fes- tivities on July 4 with fire- works, more music and some thrilling surprises. Since opening on July 4, 2004, the bridge has be - come one of the most pop- ular tourist attractions in the area. It crosses the Sacra- mento River and links the north and south campuses of Turtle Bay Exploration Park, serving as a down- tow n entrance for Red- ding's ex tensive Sacra- mento River Trail system. Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Cala- trava conceived the Sun- dial Bridge's unique design, after seeing the location in which it would reside. Ca- latrava's other notable de- signs include the Athens Olympic Sports Stadium at the 2004 Games in Ath- ens, Greece. The suppor t tower of the bridge forms a single 217-foot mast that points due north at a cantilevered angle, allowing it to serve as the gnomon of a sun - dial. The bridge's shadow is cast upon a large dial to the north and is exactly ac- curate annually on the sum- mer solstice, which will be the kick-off weekend for Celebrate 10. Besides being a func - tional work of art, Sun- dial Bridge is also consid- ered a technical marvel. The cable -stayed str uc- ture's 217-foot gnomon was constructed using 580 tons of steel. The deck is made up of 200 tons of glass and granite and is supported by more than 4,300 feet of cable. Stabilized by a steel truss, the structure rests on a foundation of more than 115 tons of steel and 1,900 cubic yards of con - crete. T he m ajor it y of the bridge's $23 million cost came from the McConnell Foundation, a private, inde - pendent foundation estab- lished in Redding in 1964.
