Tickets are free for tonight's Park-Case game
Tickets are free for tonight's rescheduled high school football game between Case and Park. The game was cancelled Friday after officials failed to show up.
Racine Unified released the following statement Monday about the game:
On Friday, Oct. 1, the Park High School Homecoming game against Case High School was postponed because referees failed to report to the game site. The game is rescheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4 at Hammes Field. Fans will be admitted to the game free. In addition, all fans attending tonight’s game will receive a ticket for admission to any Park or Case High School event during the 2010-11 school year.
All other Park Homecoming activities throughout this past weekend took place as scheduled.
“We feel very badly for all of the players, coaches, students, staff, parents and fans who were disappointed on Friday evening ,” said Superintendent Dr. Jim Shaw, “especially those there to celebrate Park’s Homecoming.”
The District and Park High School are working with Southeast Conference officials to determine why referees did not report. The Southeast Conference Commissioner schedules officials for all conference games. Racine Unified School District is only responsible for scheduling officials for non-conference games. The conference has been utilizing this system of scheduling officials for the past five years without a problem. Unified administrators will work with the commissioner to ensure that a situation like what happened Friday does not occur again.
“We were just very impressed with how the coaches, players and fans handled the situation on Friday,” said Park High School Activities Director Jeff Miller. “There was a lot of disappointment, but everyone handled the situation with class and worked together to determine the best way to proceed.”

Walden students join Global Work Party for climate change
Five hundred Walden III Middle and High School students will work throughout Racine on Thursday, Oct. 7, from 8 a.m. to 10:45, as part of 350.org’s Global Work Party taking place in over 5,000 locations.
Walden students will spread compost and wood chips at the Racine Urban Garden site; remove invasive species and make paths at the Caledonia Conservancy, the Johnson Dog Park, and Walden III’s own outdoor classroom and rain garden; and work at the Kid’s Cove playground. Members of Walden III’s Green School will work with Racine Home Insulators to insulate the home of a senior citizen who has lived next to Walden for forty-eight years.
Last year, Walden III and other high schools organized a rally calling for action to prevent climate change. This year, words and demonstrations are being replaced with a day of work as a call for politicians to achieve workable solutions to climate change and other environmental problems.

Two RUSD Seniors are National Merit Semifinalists
Case High School senior Shannon Kelly and Park High School senior Nicholas Sytsma are 2010 National Merit Semifinalists. Of the 1.5 million entrants across the country, approximately 50,000 students with the highest PSAT scores qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Only 16,000, approximately one-third, of these students are named Semifinalists. They will now go on to compete for some 8,400 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $36 million. National Merit Finalists will be named in early 2011. They are chosen based on their academic records, endorsements and SAT scores, as well as essays and school and community activities. Congratulations to Shannon and Nicholas!
