Peterson School needs volunteers Volunteers are needed to assist with programs at the Dan W. Peterson School in American Fork. The school, a special school in the Alpine School District for han-dicapped students, provides free and appropriate education to han-dicapped young people ages five through 21 from throughout the school district. David P. Adamson, principal, noted there are about 125 students enrolled in the school this year. All have varying degrees of handicaps including mental, physical or other types of disorders. Some of these youngsters can achieve levels of performance which will allow them to enter the main stream of regular school classes later, Dr. Adamson said. "Part of our overall plan is to see that each student actually ac-complishes his or her potential," he commented. Mr. Adamson said under the law there can be no more than six students to one adult (volunteer or teacher) and in some cases three students to one adult is better. Volunteers, he said, are an "integral part" in accomplishing these ratios. The students at the school require a great deal of close supervision and intervention to promote growth, according to Dr. Adamson. In addition to classroom studies there are many activities which stimulate and teach the students, including the use of computers. Special devices allow the han dicapped to use the computers and other leaching machines at their own pace, Dr. Adamson com-mented. "It is unbelievable what they are able to do," he said. Leila Ogden, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist at the school, said there are various physical activities conducted at the school as part of the curriculum. These in-clude training for the Special Olympics events as well as swim-ming at the Orem Recreation Center on Fridays from 12 : 45 to 2 p. m . Volunteers, who need not be ex-pert swimmers, are needed to help the students while in the water. There may be two sessions of swimming in the near future, Ms. Ogden noted, saying, "A large number of volunteers can be used" in the program. Periodically there is also a need for volunteers to help with field trips such as going to the zoo. Wheel chair students need someone to assist them in getting around on these occasions. Everyday at lunch time volun-teers are needed to come in and help feed those students who are unable to feed themselves. Because of the one-to-on- e relationship, many helpers are needed here, Dr. Adamson said. Anyone wishing to help at the school may call the facility in American Fork, or contact United Way's Volunteer Center in Provo for further information.

OREM 224-715- 5 HOURS: Monday through Saturday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Housing starts are up Utah County and its communities authorized 740 new housing units during the first six months of 1984, a 37 percent increase over the same period in 1983, reports the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah. However, the value of all new construction in the county - in-cluding home building, non-residential projects and remodeling - was down 9.9 percent compared to the first six months of last year. In home building, the biggest increases came in Provo, which granted permits for 317 new units between January and June; Orem, which authorized 217 new units, and American Fork, which granted 35 new home permits. . The figures appeared to: signal, continuation of a Utah housing recovery that began in 1983. However, the BEBR says home building slowed in April, May and June as mortgage interest rates began rising. The BEBR also reported that for the first time since construction records have been kept, the number of apartment and condominium units being built in Utah is out-pacing the number of single family homes. The move to apartments and condominiums, especially in Salt Lake County, has been a long-ter-trend that now appears to be taking hold in Utah, say BEBR analysts. In 1977, multi-famil- y units made up 18 percent of new housing. By 1983, the figure was 35.7 percent. Bet-ween January and June, the multi-- , family share rose .to. 5.04 percent. Utah County-ha- d a 66.1 percent increase in the value of non residential construction for the period, compared to a 69.6 percent rise statewide.
