Show I REFLEX k LEADER AUGUST 26, 1982 BULLETIN JOURNAL I Looks Like Kids Wont Be Bussed By TOM BISSELBERG News Editor - FARMINGTON Parents and administrators were meeting at press time, Wednesday afternoon, to determine if busing could be arranged for about 200 youngsters attending Layton's Elementary School. THE DISTRICT was to propose busing for a fee, set at about $900 per bus, said Bonnie Durrance, public information officer. If the kindergar-ten-ls- t graders were bussed, the group causing mot concern for parents, they would fill about one bus while another bus, at $900, would be needed for upper grades. Layton City will be asked to foot that bill in an arrangement similar to what Box Elder School District has used to a limited degree, Mrs. Durrance said. PARENTS FIRST met with school officials Tuesday afternoon in an effort to get busing continued for their youngsters who must walk along Antelope Drive, crossing the new Antelope drive interchange. The district said in letters last June that it would discontinue busing when the interchange was completed. Its been open for about a week, with lack of sidewalks raised as a major though not the only concern. Its our feeling, at present, that Antelope Drive needs to have a solution so parents can be comfortable but not (includsending) taking on long-tering buses across, said Dr. John S.

STEVE RANDALL, spokes- man for the parent group, raised concerns echoed by others that visibility is poor in several spots where children must cross the interchange. A truck may see a child, for instance, waiting to cross, but the Vocational School Plans Class In Home Wiring By TOM BI SSELBERG KAYSVILLE want a job with Do you percent 0 placement possibilities, in spite of the recession? AFTER ONE years training, or less, if you land a job, you can learn the basics of electrical wiring from a program offered at the Davis Area Vocational Center in Kaysvil-le- . Registration is underway for the start of classes Monday although the program is open entry and exit. Instructor, Leon Pulley, emphasizes a hands-o- n prog- ram where not only the procee-dure- s for wiring of motors to fire alarms and other assorted instruments is taught , but If an electrician cant find a problem and repair it, then hes not worth the title electrician, he emphasizes. trouble-sh- ooting. STUDENTS THIS year, for example, will have the chance to wire the new home for the young mothers program, a commercial structure going up in the area. Itll be build by Davis High School, emphasizing the cooperative effort between the school district and vocational center. In fact, adults and juniors and seniors in high school are encouraged to participate in the program although high school students must maintain a certain gpa or theyll be dropped, he says. LONG BEFORE students are let loose on such a project, though, they gain simulated experience through a plywood structure complete with walls and partitions including a roof truss all put together by Mr. Pulley only to be "bugged with problems. Students then go through in teams and try to correct the faulty wiring, only to have the process repeated. It helps students become aware of testing proceedures, as well, he says. THEY GET further experience in motor operation, repair and maintenance where its down to putting the nuts and bolts of a motor into place, to the tune of about 50 motors a year. In fact, the motor is tested before its taken apart to give an idea of expected per- formance. Thats all part of the need to keep motors running in acutal assembly line situations where down time can be expensive, to say the least, Mr. Pulley says. ELECTRICAL motor control is probably the strongest part of the program where a class project involving with individual Lucerne Apple Juice 939 Gallon USi Spaghetti "SriTM Potted Meat S81 Camp Pork & Beans tells 59c t cans i 2S289 Nestle Crunch Bars t10, 1.1 9 Pancake Mix Buttermilk 3P;6S1.79 Golden iddie Table Syrup Carmel tterscotch Toppings, Smuckers fil BToppings . 1.99 ?4J! .
