They (the parents) didnt want us to teach functional skills. They wanted to teach them at home, and wanted us to maintain the academics, Langston said. This year is different. The faculty, promising that "we wont throw the academics out the window, proposed some changes to the parents at the beginning of the year. The parents accepted the new ideas and have had nothing but praise for the new program, Langston said. ground- breaking will begin June 1 with completion on the project in about 14 weeks.

He has a look of determination to win. A graceful swing and the ball spinning into the gutter. The bowler, expected to be sulking, is instead applauding the gutter-balHe has won. The bowler is a student from Monte Vista School and has just successfully thrown his first bowling ball down the alley. The student is one of many participating in the bowling program at the Lakeside Lanes in Clearfield. The bowling program has short and long term goals," said Coy Langston, instructor at the school. The long term goal is to prepare for the Special Olympics, he said. The short term and more emphasized goal is to teach the handicapped children functional community skills. The most important lesson in the bowling program is teaching the children how to become more involved in the community, Langston said. The students have bowled every other week since school began. We have taught them how to meet the bus, put the money in the slot, and pay for their bowling, he said. This type of community of community involvement program is new for Monte Vista. The school has normally been centered around basic academic study mostly because of bonds.

The single family area would be developed CENTERVILLE single-famil- one-hal- f. two-fami- ly senting homeowners who live near the land to be developed, agreed that the new plans were more satisfactory than the earlier ones presented. As resident Terry Murray said, We moved here because the houses were not as close together as they were in Sandy or in parts of California where we have lived. We just dont want that to happen here. Another concern is potential flooding problems, but Hoffman assured the commission and residents that a drainage pipe would be laid which would lower the water table and keep basements dry. The concept approval is good only for six months and the proposal will still have to be given a preliminary approval by the commission. West Bountiful OKs Sales Tax Increase WEST. BOUNTIFUL With unanimous vote, the West Bountiful City Council agreed to increase their local option sales tax by 18 of a percent from 34 to 78 of a percent. The council responded to a recommendation of the Utah League of Cities and Towns which advised that such action would have a substantial projected benefit to the city. In accepting the tax increase, the city also approved a new method of allocating local sales taxes. Beginning in fiscal year 1983-8sales tax will be allocated by both population and perpoint of sale. Seventy-fivcent of sales taxes collected will return to the city or county at point of sale, while the remaining 25 percent will return to cities and counties based on population. Annual adjustments will increase the population percentage to 5 percent and decrease the point of sale percentage by 5 percent until 1988 when a 0 ratio will be reached. e 50-5- , 4, It is estimated that Davis County as a whole will benefit in excess of $800,000 as a result of the new allocation method.
