Church members who will be attending the sessions have been lf asked to be seated at least hour prior to each session. Access to the temple may be gained by either 1300 or 1700 West after turning south off of 9000 South; by 10600 South and up to 1300 West ; or by exiting the freeway in Riverton and taking either 1300 or 1700 West one-ha- north. Adequate parking in available in lots adjacent to the temple. Those people attending the early sessions should be aware that South Jordan elementary school students will be walking along 1300 West and should take extra precautions. Exiting the temple will be a little more tricky. .. Jordan board told results 7.0 7.- 0- Eighth 12. 1981 - Test Scores. Grade Thur.diy. Nov. (USPS 347 940 Second-clas- s postage paid at Midvale.

The north lane will turn north on Redwood, but the center and south lanes will be routed south on 1700 West. Redwood Road will be blocked off to allow two southbound lanes to 10400 South. From there, one lane will be continued on through to Riverton and the west lane will turn onto 10400 South and routed out of the city via 2200 or 2700 West. Redwood Road, in the vicinity of the temple, and 10400 South from 1700 to 2200 West will be blocked off to allow one way traffic only. This will occur for approximately a 45 minute period from 10:30 to 11:15; 2:30 to 3:15 p.m. and 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. during the five day period beginning Monday. Police are hopeful that this plan will keep congestion at a minimum and allow temple visitors quick and easy access out of the city.

CIlllQ 8DUSG CGfllGr SGI Midvale City officials have set the evening of Nov. 17 as the date for a public hearing concerning a request to locate a branch of the Family Support Center at 75 West Center St. The hearing will be held in the city hall council chambers beginning at 7 p.m. All city residents are living in the area west of invited to attend and give comment on the matter. 1-- W.J. recount shows no change The results were the same but victory margins were widened just a little in a West Jordan recount. Council hopeful David Plouzek requested the votes be counted again after he lost by just eight votes to former NAC chairman Sherman Monson. Plouzek was right; there had been an error made. He wasn't, however, anticipating the results. When the recount was over, he had lost two votes and Monson had picked up five, widening the gap to 1,176 and 1,161 in Monson's favor. A recount in the mayoral race also placed 15 votes between those candidates. Dennis Randall picked up another vote bringing his total to 1,181; Treglown lost four, leaving him at 1,166. The Family Support Center is a United Way private, Agency devoted exclusively to the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. The center program operates under two primary components: first a crisis non-profi- t, nursery where children eight years of age and under and who are a risk of abuse by parents can receive short term (72 hours) care and second a parent support arm comprised of parent education groups, family and group therapy. The center, now in its fifth year of operation, has served 1100 children and 2000 parents this year out of its original location in Sugarhouse. The two founders of the center, Mary Ann Glasgow and Ann Tyler, made the request before the city council last Nov. 3. plant might not perform properly. According to board chairman Boyd Twiggs, E.P.A. has stated that to engage Westech and Maier at the present time would be contrary to federal regulations unless the entire planning process was put out to open bid once more. It would also mean throwing away South Valley's current plans and requiring the board to pay back the E.P.A. for its share of the $2.4 million it cost to draw them up. "It would also mean that we would have to reject what our engineers, NM&W and J.M. Montgomery, had told us, and the review process by the State Department of Water Quality, the E.P.A., the Army Corps of Engineers, and the value engineering firm of Culp, Wesner, and Culp," added Twiggs. However, Twiggs said later that South Valley may follow one of cn i proposed for use in South Valley's oxidation ditch process. Maier had originally proposed to the board that the plant could be constructed for around $25 million as opposed to the current projection of $52.4 million. The savings would be achieved by building the ditches in the ground rather than above, cutting back on the size and amount of some equipment, using different pumps and using less Diping. If South Valley accepted the idea, Maier and Westech would be engaged as the design and construction managers and would be responsible for constructing the plant-th- e planning, design, and construction phases and demonstrating that the plant will work before turning it over to South Valley. In other matters brought before the board, South Valley is still waiting to see if partial federal funding for 1982 and into 1983 will be approved by Congress. If the $2.4 billion dollar package is okayed, South Valley would get $3.7 million in both 1982 and '83 to which South Valley must provide an equal amount of local money for a total of around $15 million. That, plus the nearly $10 million in funds already committed, could bring the liquid phase of the plant on line by early 1984 Also being discussed in is the Washington possibility of delaying the date by which plans must meet the more restrictive 1010 discharge requirements until South Valley has scheduled a public hearing for Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. on its proposed 1982 budget.

Mr Bianchi said that significant gains in basic skills are also being seen in the district's high schools. Juniors taking the Stanford Achievement Tests last April scored above the national average. With SO representing the national norm, the juniors tested at 53 in reading and language arts and at 55 in mathematics. Compared to the 1960 scores, the percentiles for the 11th graders had improved by 3 in reading, by 4 in language arts, and by 6 in math.
