Compromise DAVC offers basic skills9 By Neighbors TOM BUSSELBERG Editor Reflex-Journ- vocalize al KAYSV1LLE - As members of the work force or homemakers return to the classroom, its sometimes hard to recall all those math computations and reading skills you once had. opposition -- By OR MAYBE, through some quirk, you never really gained those abilities sufficiently to operate smoothly in the work 'force, once your educations through. For that reason, Davis Area Vocational Center in Kays-vill- e g is expanding its basic skills program. Entering students are given a battery of tests that covers those and other areas to help determine where they stand, explains Larry Brice, assistant center director. BOUNTIFUL - The City Counvote, attempted to cil, by a compromise with a group of irate citizens over a proposed rezoning but the compromise proposal was met with bitter disapproval from residents. 3-- math-readin- THE BASIC skills program is just one of the new offerings getting underway at the center where students and employees are getting used to expanded quarters, thanks to recent completion of a new phase that includes services, cafeteria and machine shop, among other things. Even as final touches are being placed there, the expansion program is being studied. It includes space for drafting, maintenance engineering, electronics and added facilities for auto body. The Legislature appropriated $2 million for that new phase that will encompass nearly 60,000 square feet, or V2 acres if it was all on one level. Another similar amount is needed to assure the buildings more than a shell, though, Mr. Brice adds. student-administrati- long-ran- EVENTUALLY, we want everything available now during the day also offered in the afternoons and evenings or weekends depending on need, Mr. Brice indicates, referring to the centers plans moving forward to provide Saturday and evening classes within the next few weeks on a far larger scale. In other vocational center activity, employee contract negotiations have been completed. Salaries fall in line with the Davis School Districts 5.5 percent increase with some variations adjusting for retirement contributions, Mr. Brice notes.

Mabey to rezone 22 acres of property that would allow for higher density condominiums. After sitting quietly during the council discussion, the gioup the erupted and began council who had voted for a compromised rezonmg.

Instead, theyve been brought in from farflung locations across the county or given improved facilities, Mr. Brice emphasizes. The electrical program is the last casualty of the building d courses that were offered. It wont be available this fall, due to lower construction trades demand coupled with low enrollment. In its place, though, a marketing and distributive education class will be offered starting next week. That choice, based on results from surveys of local businesses and the advisory councils recommendation should see a real viable class offering, the assistant director says. GARY R.

MABEY, and his son, Tom. presented a proposal to the council the prior week asking that the property be rezoned to allow 13 instead of seven condominium units per acre. Residents alleged that the complex would add up to 300 units of condominiums on the property if Typhoon eve; all m. a days work - By KATRINA ALLEN and TOM HARALDSEN - HILL AIR FORCE BASE For many women at Hill Field, equal job opportunity, responsibility and pay is becoming a reality. For at least three of those women, that reality was discovered when they chose to venture into areas traditionally dubbed a mans world. CAPTAIN Natalie Lademan is a petite, physically fit young woman who spent nearly three years stationed in Guam. During that time, she was part of a flight crew which penetrated 45 typhoons, and subsequently was awarded with three Air Force medals for her bravery. Before coming to Hill two years ago, Capt. Lademan was stationed with the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron. Her mission was to fly into the center of a typhoon, determining intensity, direction and location of the colossal storms for purposes of informing islands or countries in their wake. FLYING INTO typhoons is not as scary as one might think, she stated. Actually youre better off flying through one that being on the ground during one. According to the Captain, the eye of a typhoon is very beautiful. YOU LOOK up above you and see the sun and blue sky in a perfect circle. Its a gorgeous sight after miles and miles of nothing but clouds and bad weather," she explained. Originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut, Capt. Lademan added that her family has been very supportive of her Air Force career. Her two brothers graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, and her younger sister one of the first female cadets to 'graduate from the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs. IN HER spare time, the single captain tutors high school and college students in full-blow- n math, and she recently completed her masters degree in political science from Utah State University. Civilian women are among those making big gains as well. The heavy crating shop would not seem a likely place to find a petite, 52 mother of three. But the Directorate of Distribution's heavy crating area is where you can find Sharon Martin these days. NERVOUS AND scared are the two words Mrs. Martin chose to describe her feelings about changing from a white collar supply clerk to a blue collar wood worker. In her new occupation, Mrs. Martin handles large pieces of plywood, which weigh as much as 63 pounds and run as large as 96 inches. We mainly build heavy crating boxes for storing or shipping aircraft items, she stated, adding that aircraft parts and components make up the bulk of items she ships. EIGHT YEARS ago, Mary Ann Clark became the first woman on her mechanic crew in the Industrial Products and Landing Gear Division. She gave up a clerical job on the base for her new position because I felt I wasnt going anywhere in the clerical field and the money was better in wage grade. Ms. Clark has responsibility for the cleaning and repair of guns, accessories and ammunition-handlinsystems for 5 and 7 aircraft. Like Mrs. Nelson, Ms. Clark enjoys her blue collar job much more than her former office position because she likes working with her hands, on and off the job. I TOOK my vacuum cleaner and mixer apart and repaired them, she stated. I even do occasional minor repairs on my car. She advised other women who are considering a career change not to overlook the option of blue collar work, but also warned that this kind of work is not for everyone. I just felt I had to do it," she said. F-- 4, g F-1- 6, F-1- A-- 1 the original rezoning was allowed. Mr. Maybe said only about 10 to 15 acres of the proposed site is suitable Tor development. THE OPPOSITION group also alleged that the complex was not conducive to the surrounding area which is primarily single family dwellings. They said the complex would immediately devalue their property because noone wants to live near a condominium complex as large as this would be. There was even some bitter infighting among two council members Councilman Shafter and Councilman Jerry Lawrence. COUNCILMAN Shafter was trying to explain that the added number of units which was finally decided on at 10 units per acre, instead of the requested 13 - would cause the complex to be spread - -- Continued on page 2 Aging confab set at Lagoon LAGOON -- - Senior Citizens from Davis County will be joined by their colleagues statewide at the Governors Conference on Aging Thursday, Aug. 29 at Lagoons Pioneer Pavilion.
