The evening was filled with fun activities. One of the favorite events was when Fon Rothe entire the challenged needle threading contest for the men and a nail driving contest for the women. It seems that the ladies were much better nail drivers than the men were needle threaders. Earlene Giles won the nail driving competition by driving an eight penny nail into solid wood with only four hits. A greased pole climb was a popular contest with the kids.

Although the activities were M.V Training School Population To Be Cut (Continued from Front Page) He commented he prefers to have additional staff, especially in critical care areas, but said his hands are tied. "There is no disagreement with the Division of Health regarding the number of direct care, care, non-dire- or supervisory staff," Dr. Nakao said, but "because of budget pressures it was necessary to reduce the direct care staff to minimum levels following the guidelines of Title XIX for federal funding. All program areas were effected by the reductions to minimum levels." He added the staff reduction is particularly noticeable in such buildings as Self Help, Habit Training, and the Nursery which have been demonstration programs in the past and have traditionally "enjoyed" staff ratioes greatly in excess of minimum standards. Dr. Sagers, in response to questions from parents, said more community programs are being developed to insure residents placed in alternative settings are not forgotten. He agreed that at the present time, these residents do not have the programming opportunities those remaining at the training school do, but said part of his job is to direct development of these resources. "Our residents need the community, and the community needs our residents. I will work very hard to have the programs for our residents developed in communities throughout the state," Dr. Sagers pledged. Also speaking briefly at the meeting were Elaine Sharp, executive director of the Mental Retardation Association of Utah; Jerry Miller, executive director of the Utah Association for Retarded Citizens; and JoAnn Rice, chairman of the Division of Family Services Board. Horse Riding Being Used As Therapy For The Handicapped (Continued from Front Page) improving coordination. "Riding provides a tremendous boost to self esteem to students with learning disabilities and for the emotionally disturbed. The fuzzy, friendly quality of horses provides a source of love and reassurance (for the autistic) while mentally retarded and Mongoloid students gain new incentives for learning. "There is absolutely no doubt among the medical and equestrian experts who teach handicapped people to ride that this form of rehabilitation is one of the most effective yet to be discovered. It is becoming more in demand by doctors and physical therapists for their patients at NARHA-approve- the centered There was even a bake sale to raise money for the ward budget. The harvest theme was even carried down to the table centerpieces which were cleverly decorated fruit bottles. Last "?z The program has already received offers for volunteers from as far away as Magna, and two ponies and one horse have been donated. Horses in the program must be sturdy, gentle and calm. When a horse is purchased or donated he is put into intensive training for a minimum of two weeks. He must get used to loud noises. Foam basketballs will be thrown at him, wheelchairs will come at him from all sides. "He is taught to stand quietly near the mounting ramps while pupils mount from either side. Then he is tested with and different leaders riders, sidewalkers. The training is rigorous, but the animal chosen for the program is rewarded with a lot of love and attention," Linda explained. The riding program also benefits adults. John Koslowski of Chicago is in his thirties and has cerebral palsy. "I've learned live within the limitations of my physical abilities," he said. "However, I have not allowed my physical handicap to extinguish a desire to extend these limits." The Cervantes Equestrian Center is the only facility of its kind in the to West. 1 f If ;Ht Zm m m fa : I J - v I 4" ' Volunteer is still being kept busy fighting almost daily fires, it was reported by Chief Max Ray. The chief said that Monday evening about 9 p.m. they were called to fight a grass fire north of town. "Between 30 and 35 acres were blackened at about 300 West and 2400 North," he said. "This has been the scene of an annual fire," the Chief stated, reporting that residents in the area reported seeing a pickup truck in the area shortly before the fire erupted and it is thought to have been deliberately set. Chief Ray said that 23 men and two pieces of equipment were at the scene for two hours containing it and cooling hot spots. High winds hampered their efforts and they fought to keep it contained. On Tuesday afternoon the department was called again. An alarm was sounded at 3 p.m. to property on the Saratoga Road belonging to Arthur Griffin of South Jordan. A shed containing lumber, old tires and other pieces of junk was on fire. Chief Ray said there was no value placed on the loss and cause of the blaze is undetermined. Ray said that 16 men and two pieces of equipment stayed at the scene for three hours before leaving. Again, gusty winds hampered The Lehi their efforts at times. The chief issued a plea for local residents to be especially careful with fire. "Everything terribly dry and with the current winds even a small blaze could be out of control within minutes." He urged extreme caution and noted that the "No Open Burning" rule was still in effect. L A Published by Newtah, Inc. Every Thursday Michael N.
