Show I WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, I NORTH DAVIS LEADER, APRIL 22, 1982 Davis Education Association Aids Open Meet Drive By MARK D. MICKELSEN FARMINGTON The Utah Legislature s reluctance to open political caucuses and committee meetings to the public has spawned a countywide petition drive by Davis educators who feel the states open meetings law should apply to all public bodies not just those outside the legislature. THE DRIVE is an offshoot of a Utah Education Association initiative which would place on the November general election ballot several Sunshine Law amendments aimed at forcing lawmakers to open certain meetings to the public. An overwhelming majority of the members of the Davis Education Association Board spoke out in favor of the initiative proposal at a recent meeting and are working to circulate petitions through the end of May, according to DEA Spokesman Dee Bumingham. TEACHERS HAVE an occupational bias in favor of the right to know," Mr. Bumingham said, adding that of 80 board members present at the meeting, all but a couple endorsed the initiative. When legislators adopted the Sunshine Law during the late 1970s, some members asked that the statute not apply to certain legislative meetings. At the same time, the law required meetings of city councils, school boards and other public agencies to be open to the public and press. THE PROPOSED Right To Know law, if passed, will open all legislative party caucus meetings and all sessions of legislative committees to the public, media and interested political constituents. Responding to the obvious inequities in the open meetings law, DEA members last year began encouraging the UEA to take a stand on the issue and to ask legislators to consider opening up previously closed meetings. BECAUSE OF the legislatures reluctance to do that, Mr. Bumingham said, we feel like it is a critical enough issue that the public ought to make the decision. Bumingham, who has worked extensively with the legislature in past years, said most committee meetings are open, but many of the key ones are not. THE MOVE by the UEA reflects local needs, he said. The decision for an initiative proposal comes after years of work and lobbying with the legislature by members of various educational associations. Asked why educational agencies feel inclined to sponsor the petition drive, Mr. Bumingham said the organizations have no more to gain than any other agency. Many other groups are frustrated with the process, he said. It is not a partisan issue. CURRENTLY, the Republican Party dominates both the Senate and the House of Representatives and yields the greatest amount of political power. Democrats have agreed to open up their caucuses, but Mr. Bumingham said the situation might have been somewhat different six years ago when they had control of the legislature. Closed meetings have resulted in a loss of accountability, he said.

Food orders inside the restaurant will be served by 36 members of the Davis administration and staff. ments indicate that he has not taken that position. BUT, SAYS Bumingham, the DEAs (i number one" reason for wanting the meetings open is because educational agencies have had to hold open meetings for four or five years. Those who have to abide by that law, he said, have found that it works. THERE ARE some public officials, he added, who feel that sensitive issues must be dealt with in the back room." The falacy in that approach is that although wise men often make good laws, those laws may fail if the citizenship doesnt feel an ownership, or if they dont understand the reasons for the law. Prior to the passage of the Sunshine Law, Mr. Bumingham said key decisions were often rehearsed by the Davis County School Board. Consequently, he added, the school board reached a number of unanimous decisions during the six years he attended the meetings. Now that the Sunshine Law is in effect, the board has a new view of how to operate and Burning-hasaid the meetings are attended by a majority of the media, educational association representatives, PTA members and the public.

Ten years later they relocated in Bountiful and in 1892 the Majors settled in West Layton. Virginia served as Relief Society president from 1895 until her family moved to Thatcher, Ariz. After spending two years in Arizona, the Majors returned to live in West Layton. Mrs. Major fed the hungry, nursed the sick and conforted the distressed. No one ever appealed to her in vain for help. She always responded to calls. Under her leadership, the Relief Society women traveled by white tops, surrey and buggy to assist those in need. They made burial clothes and often prepared RED CROSS chapter was organized during World War I under Relief Society President Amanda Hill.

The anticipation is often the worse part. If we can relax we can often have an enjoyable experience at the dental office. Many dentists now use nitrous oxide analgesia or laughing gas as it is better known. This allows the patient to relax and not worry about what the dentist is doing. The nice part about this is that at the end of the dental procedure the patient breathes pure oxygen and feels normal when they leave the office. Many times sounds can trigger fear. To help alleviate this, audio analgesia is available. All this really means is that the patient can put on a set of stereo headphones and listen to music or stories so that they cannot hear the sound of the drill. THE PRESS, on the other hand, will have to determine when a legislator is making a stand on an issue and when he is only making a statement. The open meetings concept will make a great difference in the number of bills which actually reach the floor of the House or Senate. More controversial bills will reach the legislature and will have to be voted on, rather than being shut off in other meetings, Bumingham said. represent thousands of Davis North Births Many of you have heard of the term painless dentistry. Perhaps some of you have thought to yourselves, "Ha! With todays modem methods and advancements dentistry truly can be painless. BUT WILL an open meetings clause hamper legislative operations? According to Mr. Bumingham, most legislators will continue to operate as they have in the past, but some will have to find a new kind of integrity, and theyll find it refreshing. THOSE WHO have been stringing people along, he said, wont be able to do it any more. One of the merits of the new system is that new approaches to legislative problems will be public information much earlier. Mr. Bumingham said lawmakers will still have to talk to colleagues and friends on a confidential basis, while at the same time learning that open meetings can go through an exploratory phase.

THE 17.25 ACRE plot, at approximately 400 West and 300 North, has been set aside for the development of twin homes and fourplexes. Despite a recommendation for final approval by the citys planning commission and engineers, the city council asked that development plans be tabled until the question of traffic access is taken care of. MAYOR NELDON Hamblin, who was a councilman when the issue first arose last year, pointed out that former city officials had voiced some concern over possible traffic congestion in the area. Howard McMillan, Clearfields chief building inspector, told city council members Tuesday night that the first phase of the Yorkshire Place development shows only one exit. The city Council's concern is that the amount of traffic being funneled into that one point may be excessive. MR. MCMILLAN said another exit is possible if further development occurs in the area. Albert Cole, a representative of the Clearfield Planning Commission, said developers may construct up to 300 units on the 17.25 acre plot, but said current plans show far fewer buildings. ORIGINALLY, the developers had asked permission to build some single and some multiple-famil- y e dwellings on the property. Newer plans call for units on the outer border of the subdivision and fourplexes in the center region. Mr. McMillan said the developers revised their and fourplexes are the plans because best thing for now. BARNES BANKING COMPANY of Kaysville.
