A graduate of the University of Utah, Miles was raised in Clearc field and currently lives in with his wife Nancy and their two children, Garrett and Brooke. He is employed with the Department of Social Services for the State of Utah and is also a partner with his brother, Kay Miles, in Micro Mania, a home computer retail outlet with stores in Ogden and Bountiful.

He chose to run for the school board because "education is the most important area in life for most people and has a lasting unemployemnt 1 Kays-vill- year-roun- needed.

Bountiful Officials Tackle Water Drainage Problems CHERYL ARCHIBALD headaches. Review Staff Developer of the subdivision Subsurface and surface water g have always plagued the areas sandwiched between the Great Salt Lake and the mountains in south Davis County, but recently city officials have had to tackle problems of draining the water from those areas. A couple of things have led to the need for better drainage. rain and snowfalls in the last two years have raised water tables causing basement flooding problems for homeowners in Centerville and West many using sump s of the year pumps to keep their basements dry. In addition, developers used to avoid wet areas. But population growth in the last decade has pushed development into d areas. Builders must now consider drainage; cities have the burden of making defaulted and left streets unfinished with no drainage system. The city took responsibility and spent $150,000 to help with streets and drainage. Demands by residents that the city do something to alleviate their flooded basements prompted officials to drainage engineer a system. A resolution was approved by the council assessing residents $500 to hook up to the system, plus a monthly fee for maintenance. But the resolution is no answer to Centervilles overall drainage problems. "This is not just a Pit-fAcres problem, its said Lee Duncan, councilman. low-lyin- sub-surfa- Recor- d-breaking Boun-tifulwi- th three-fourth- low-lyin- or city-wid- e, Centerville Mayor Neil Blackburn said the resolution was passed to get people in Pitford Acres hooked on to the system so the city could pave the street before winter. g, water-plague- sure they do.

A proposed ordinance will be presented at a compensation and other social programs. Having worked in the Department of Social Services for the State for eight years, have seen how those with inadequate educations burden taxpayers with increased costs for programs needed to solve the problems created by their lack of education. "Innovative concepts need to be explored to make changes and save costs. For example, the d school concept has enabled some school districts to use money saved from the construction of more buildings to reward good teachers. I am prepared to lobby the Legislature for a commitment to properly fund the reforms which are LAYTOIS be replaced. Parents need to get more involved in all aspects of education by volunteering their time to help, continuing to learn themselves to set an example for their children, and encouraging them to take more demanding courses and to be more diligent in their studies.

Under the ordinance, homes must be built with the main living floor 12 inches higher than the street. If a builder wants to avoid compliance, a protest may be filed with the city along with a $75 engineers fee to study individual cases. If, through an engineers study, the builder can prove there will be no water problems, the city may grant permission to build a basement, said Von Hill, West Bountiful city councilman.
