Peterson School in American Fork, serving han-- . dicapped students of , the . Alpina School District, needs volunteers from the community to help in various programs, according to Principal David P. Adamson. He says volunteers are essential in providing one-to-o- interaction to make' certain that each of these special students is learning and growing to hisher potential in self-hel- p skills. The categories of need are: Swimming program needs people who can help the students while in the water at the Orem Recreation Center each Friday from noon to 2 p.m. Volunteers need not be expert swimmers. Help with feeding students at lun-chti-from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Academic help is needed, in reading, math and other subjects, during regular school hours, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday ' through Friday. Volunteers are needed to help With young autistic children during y time each school day. Principal Adamson explains that autistic children are those who have a communication disorder which joes not allow them to interpret or express language instruction. "Volunteers make it possible, in a l onq-to-on-e relationship for 4s, to be certain we have each student's attention prior to the educational activity," he adds. Help kindergarten children who have trouble with speaking ability. Volunteers would serve as language models, talking with them and reading to them so the children can hear the voice and the words as they attempt to learn. Scott McKay, Manager of Community Education in the American Fork area, and involved in coordinating volunteer action at the school, says that a time com-mitment by volunteers of at least one hour each week for at least six weeks is desirable to be most ef-fective. Days and times can be arranged at the convenience of the volunteer. Volunteers will be supervised and guided by the regular teaching staff. He adds, "We could use as many as 60. volunteers, and would welcome anyone interested to come and visit prior to making the decision to become a volunteer." Individuals who wish to volunteer time to the Dan W. Peterson School should call United Way Volunteer Center.

Watch out for fall lawn insects If your lawn has had some problems the past few weeks, you should check it for the subteranean. sod webworm, also known as the cranberry girdler. The larvae, or grub, looks very similar to the sod webworm. However, the damage usually oc-curs on a different part of the grass. The sod webworm feeds onthe grass at the soil line, while the subteranean sod webworm feeds on the crown and roots. Diazinon can be used to control this lawn pest. After applying the pesticide, be sure to water it in by letting the sprinkler run for 10 to 15 minutes. |
