Show THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1972 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2S, 1972 County Economic Report Poor Industrial Funding Cited Major Problem, Developing Industry would require the full-tim- e attention of the UVIDA staff. UVIDA, however, has not been able to live up to these responsibilities, according to the county report. Reasons Noted "Because of insufficient funding along with difficulty in obtaining funds from the organization's participants, the manager has had to relegate 40 to 60 per cent of his time soliciting funds in order to keep his- office minimally functional," the economic report states. The OEDP (Overall Economic Development Program) committee recommends a return to the goals recommended by Development Planning Associates Inc., which would maintain a program to permit an aggressive program to attract industry. By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN "Most of the Chambers of Commerce active in Utah Coun-t- y have operated on a 'shoestring' and have had few funds to promote Utah County as an excellent location for industrial and commercial development." This statement is from the Overall Economic Development Program of Utah County, completed recently and presented to the county com-mission. The program listed "inadequately, funded economic development organizations" as one of the 13 prime deficiencies standing in the way of good economic development of the county. UVIDE (Utah Valley Industrial Development Association) was organized in.. 1966 upon the recommendation of Development Planning Associates Inc. of San Fran-cisco, which conducted an extensive study of the county's future development potentials and recommended action programs. UVIDA Goals Listed Objectives of UVIDA were to: 1) Provide more jobs in Utah Valley for unemployed persons,, for high school, technical school and university graduates, and for persons who would come to live in Utah County if employment were available, (2) Increase the diversity of the Utah Valley economy, raising the general level of in-come and reducing the effect of economic fluctuations in single industries. (3) Expand the tax base and provide adequately for schools, public improvements, and other local government services. In order to accomplish these objectives, an aggressive and program was suggested. Foremost in such a program were three major activites, all of which would require sustained effort to produce results. They were: (1) Exploit the development opportunities of Utah Valley through selective prospect iden-tification, colicitation and negotiation. Assure Building Sites (2) Assure the availability of suitable industrial sites at competitive prices for new and expanding industries, with utilities, services, buildings and sound financing where needed. (3) Encourage and assist related community programs designed to enhance the desirability of Utah County as a location for people and industry. An ambitious program for the manager of UVIDA was outlined whereby he could deal effectively with top management and promote in-dustry and industrial land, development.

By Ann Shields Tribune Correspondent AMERICAN FORK - The year 1972 has been one of progress and achievement at the Utah State Training School with new projects implement-ed, existing programs expand-ed and the lives of the mental-ly retarded enriched. How Is progress measured at the school? Perhaps through the first steps of a child who is learning to walk after having spent years in a crib; or in the quiet pride of a young man being trained as a carpenter's helper as he com-pletes the sanding and refin-ishin- g of a fine piece of furn-iture. It may be in seeing the pleasure of a child who enjoys participation in a music class, or the concentration of a boy who Is learning to type, or in the smile radiating from a wheelchair resident who loves the daily ride up the ramp to the school building. Cites Philosophy The philosophy of Superin-tendent Paul S. Sagers and his staff is to help each of the 900 residents of the school to reach his or her potentials some way. For some, that means learning to cook or sew' in a home economics class. For others, it is learning to walk "alone in the sensory motor programs or to make a craft item at one of the activi-ty therapy centers. Mr. Sagers said "our objec-tive is to make the lives of the retarded as near normal as possible, to help them to be-come productive Citizens of .the community or to find a comfortable, challenging life within our sheltered environ-ment." A full gamut of professional, education and rehabilitation services is available for all the retarded. Staff members are guided by the basic ideals that every child can learn; every child has the right to reach his full potential; every child has the right to be treated with dignity and as an individual of human worth; every child has .the right to live in an atmo-sphere of happiness; and "we should continually strive to achieve normalization in the lifestyle of our residents." "The team approach is em-phasized as we utilize all members of our staff to meet the needs of these special .people," Mr. Sagers said. He noted that staff mem-bers are pleased with the re-sults of .the- new program for the deaf-blin- which was recently implemented. . The progress of participating youngsters is "inspiring," he said. Many other areas of train-ing are also being expanded at the school as their value has been proved. These in-clude sensory motor programs which began as a pilot pro-gram last January LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO WATER USERS Notice is hereby given that Delbert Chipman of American Fork, Utah has filed with the State Engineer a request for extension of time to make and submit proof of appropriation for Appl.
