Show Single Copy 25c I Eaot Mdvale Water Users To Pace Slightly Higher Winter Bill ; MIDVALE. f I rC ' " ( East Midvale who are residents being transferred from the Sandy water system to the Midvale system may find it a bit of a shock when they get their new water bills from Midvale, specifically senior citizens. They will discover they are paying almost two dollars a month more. However, in the long run,' particularly during the summer months when water usage is heaviest, they will find they will pay about the same, if not a bit less than they have been paying Sandy. The city council here was briefed on the development Tuesday night. The council was told that the higher costs will come during months when the senior citizens use less water because Midvale's base rate, for senior citizens is figuring out to be about $1.09 more than Sandy's rate for senior J citizens. The savings which will come during the summer months with heavier watering will result because Midvale has a higher threshold level before additional costs are charged than does Sandy. Sandy residents who use over 6,000 gallons per month are charged an additional 90 cents per thousand gallons, while Midvale does not charge additional until 25,000 gallons are used. When the new Midvale customers, coming from the eastern part of the city, use 9,000 or more gallons, they will be paying about the same as they would had they remained with the Sandy system, it was explained. The East Midvale residents are being switched over to the Midvale system following the sale of water lines to Midvale by Sandy. While living in Midvale, those residents have been, up to now, served by the Sandy water system. In other action Tuesday night, the council here approved the life purchase of a paid-u- p insurance policy for 11 retired firemen. The decision will make on an approximately good promise the city made to provide insurance for retired firemen, a promise that was temporarily derailed when the became too previous policy expensive for the city and when the insurance carrier subsequently cancelled it due to the age of the retired firemen. The council also took the first step toward development of an economic development plan with the appointment of an economic development committee made up of a wide range of people from the Midvale area. The committee will be partially responsible for the development of city's economic development plan to attract more business to Midvale. Vocational Education Needs Grow, Analysis Of Job Market Indicates SALT LAKE. The need for vocational and technical education in Utah is illustrated by the fact that only 19 of the current jobs in the state college degree, 41 require at require a four-yeleast six months but less than four years of h school training, and 40 need less than six months of added training. That was the conclusion reached by the Utah Foundation, a private research organization, in its examination of the five AYCs located in various parts of the state. While the state has beefed up its efforts to supply vocational education through regional centers, vocational education has also become an area of increasing concern to many local school districts 'which . operate . programs .which sometimes parallel to the state vocational system. Dr. Don Carpenter, for example, told fellow members of the Jordan Board of Education last month that Utah's 1988-9- 3 Vocational Education Master Plan states that during high school a student must earn 14.5 credits from a required course list and 13.5 credits of electives providing knowledge and skills which will allow students access to most higher levels of education and still be able to complete vocational education classes. He expressed concern at that, time that the State Board was stressing college preparatory work at the expense of vocational training. Most jobs in Utah, he noted, do not require a college degree, but more than 60 of the graduating seniors last year indicated they would' be attending college. During the past four years, there has been a joint effort made by the State Board of Education and the Board of Regents to develop a master plan for vocational education in Utah. The purpose of this master plan is to clarify objectives, improve planning and increase accountability for vocational education in the state. Currently, this vocational master plam is in the process of final revisions and is expected to be in place by January.

Vocational proponents argue that each auto shop provides a different level of service in automotive training. The high school provides an avocational background. AVCs train to put the student into a job, and higher education either teaches greater technical skills or a broader base of related - technical skills. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that the' levels of technical training at different institutions duplicate services.
