PLEASAN- T- A new bond election will be held, the North School Board Sanpete decided at its June 8 meeting. The decision was based on strong show of community interest. The board had received 1,100 signatures from nearly patrons favoring another election. A $5.8 million bond was defeated March 23 by 21 votes. Timing and the new bond amount will be announced later. In other business, the board approved a tentative 1993-9- 4 budget.

It was because capital outlay increased. "Its a very formalized and very complicated procedure," Alder said, structured so that taxpayers are protected and informed.! Courtney Principal Next, Syme expressed concern about increasing student population at the high school. The school will have an additional 110 students this fall. There is no room for three new teachers already hired, he said, let alone an additional teacher needed. Syme said, "I just really dont know what to do if I dont get more classrooms." He said he really needs four more classrooms but that he could get by with two. The board discussed merits of new classroom construction versus relocatables. Board president Elna McKay commented, "Relocatables- -a nasty word." The board approved immediate construction on the high school Learning Center addition. Principal Syme proposed that class standing of high school students depend on performance or credits earned. "What are we doing as a system, if we continually pass them on?" Syme asked. "Lets start really being a high school and tell students in their freshman year what is required." Syme added, "Our biggest with an important person or problem is those kids that will not; we have plenty of programs event, or distinctive architecture. for those who cannot." e a For a listing, Middle school principal Philip nomination form containing the Johnson supported such a policy description of the site, owners while commenting that it would name and address and the histora double standard.

Alder said it has previously been a cumbersome process to receive property values from various taxing entities, ascertain "certified rates," or new tax limits based on last years dollars actually collected, then calculate the actual rates. A process once worked out by hand by each county is now handled by the state computer. He explained that, if a district wants more money than certified Farmhouse listed on county register EPHRAI- M- The John Peterson house, a one-stor- y log and adobe house about one mile north of Spring City, was listed on the County Historic Register at the May 13 meeting of the County Preservation Commission. According to Spring City resident Frank E. Peterson, the home was built by John Peterson, his father, who began construction in 1900 and completed the home in the spring of 1901. John Peterson married Rosa Savannah "Vanda" Larsen in the January of 1901. Five children were born and raised in the home. In 1912, two additional rooms and wooden siding were added and the home was painted blue. The home has been vacant since about 1949 when John and Vanda moved to a home in Spring City. Vanda died in 1950 and John died in 1960. The home was sold to Frank in 1952, and in 1990 to Sorensen Livestock Company. Frank Peterson relates that of the two original rooms, one was built from logs which were cut in the mountains and hauled to a sawmill in Black Canyon. The room to the west was built from studdings, with adobe in between. Willows were nailed on the inside of the walls to hold the plaster in place. The first land patents on the land (total parcel was 160 acres) were received on Nov. 10, 1879, by Soren Peterson, John Petersons father, who was born and raised in Denmark. According to family tradition, Soren was a guard for the King of Denmark and as part of his uniform, carried a sword. The sword was brought with him to Spring City and it has been told that he always carried it with him. Soren Petersons Meadow above Spring City near Skyline Drive was where Soren pastured his cows during the summer. He built a cabin there. He was also instrumental in starting the Cedar Creek Tunnel to transfer irrigation water to his and others farms, but he died before it was finished. Soren died in 1888 when John, his oldest child, was 11. John received 21.47 acres which included the property where the house is now located. Tessie Pyper, member of the preservation committee, presented the nomination and historical data. The county sites register was established last year. Buildings and sites which are historically significant, but are not yet listed on the national Historic Register either individually or as part of an historic district, are eligible for listing.

Ssople at teenage boys were more likely to develop heart disease, colon and rectal cancer, and gout as adults, while girls were more likely to have difficulty in daily functioning and to develop arthritis as older adults. However, researchers warned against constant or fad dieting for teenagers, recommending instead better overall eating and exercise habits for the entire family.
