Thanks to our Constitution, Utah has an open meetings law. I believe that protects the press and ultimately you, the reader, in being able to read about issues that maybe some people would rather discuss behind closed doors. As one north county mayor told me the other day, sometimes its nice not to have newspaper people around when theres an argument on the council. But then he added that its far better to receive coverage and let the public know than to have the public unaware of whats going on. The United States, as any country, has its classified documents. How well we are reminded of that in the affair. But at least we dont have an Official Secrets Act. That act plays a role in Great Britain that appears to make it impossible, many times, for the press to legally gain access to various documents. Im only trying to piece the pattern together as an armchair reader having never lived there, but it appears that Whitehall (bureaucratic government officials in London) can impose that act whenever they want. That way, no one knows for sure what a particular program being proposed actually includes or the details of a particular budget. Fortunately, it is not routine here for bureaucratic Washington to prepare a new Social Security Act, lets say, and hide it from public view until just before Congress takes action. We are the home of the Pentagon Papers, published by the press much to the chagrin of some in high government posts. We are the home of Watergate and Of course, the Constitution is a lot more than just freedom of the press. But as we can see from accounts coming out of Communist countries, thats quite a privilege. As attorney Felshaw King said not long ago, the Constitution has seemed to stand the test of time so well because of its allowance for diversity and sharing of power. Theoretically there should be no way the Army would try to take power or Congress could usurp the President. It isnt that long ago that we saw the wheels of government put to the test with Richard Nixon. And of course we are now privy to accusations into the Executive Branch not letting the Congressional branch know whats going on in international dealings. Yes, England may have its Magna Carta and all the future citizen-typ- e rights it bestowed, but we have the Constitution the model for so much of the world. Lets have an eijoyable 4th of July (even if it does fall on a Saturday and mean no day off for many). Maybe well get to ' know the Constitution a little better, too. That could only help each and every one. 0 State superintendent much-neede- - , and master degrees KAYSVILLE Vocational education will be responsible for the future economic development of Utah, said State Superintendent James Moss to the Davis Area Vocational Center Board Tuesday. The time when you could pre- pare for one vocation has changed, said Supt. Moss. Most will have an average of five to six jobs and as many as two to three different professions in their life- time. Once general education has been established, Supt. Moss named vocational education and its method of short intensive training as the great key when it comes to getting jobs in our rapidly changing society. Area Vocational Centers are the most flexible part of our education system, because they cut . Supt. Moss said the recent e. approved the 1988 fiscal year JESSE HACKNEY 1988.

VIEWPOINT IN A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Hearing on bum plant bonds Uyton tUysvtSe J A public hearing will be held July 22 for public input before Davis County issues industrial development bonds to be used for refinancing the bum plant. The county will issue bonds up to $53,000,000. Proceeds from the bonds will be loaned to the buyer to help pay for the bum plant. The buyer will also be adding some of V - the state superintendent. We have resolved the drive of higher education to control the Area Vocational Centers with the intervening of the superintendent, he said. Board members said their hesitation to intervention was due to fear that they would not be effective as an administration. Supt. Moss blamed poor communication for the disgruntled feelings of the board and promised, we will not cross the line in policy making and we hope the board will not cross the line with administration of policy.

We can foster economic development through vocational education, said Supt. Moss. If we dont the entire state will suffer and higher education will suffer as a direct result. A supportive role needs to be established between higher education and vocational training, Supt. Moss said. There are obvious problems in funding, its going to be a struggle and its not going to change overnight, Supt. Moss said. But Supt. Moss said he feels upbeat about the future and the relationships that have been established. The avenues of communication are open and the legislative ties are supportive, he said. changes in policy have been to provide a tie between the Area Vocational Centers and the highest level money can be raised to support the library system. 84025. m down on duplication, Supt.

FDCL is concerned with the welfare of all the libraries in the Davis County system (the South Branch in Bountiful, the Main Branch in Farmington, the North Branch in Clearfield and the soon to be completed Central Branch in Layton) and will work to promote their growth as educational, cultural and research centers and to develop their potential as dynamic forces in our communities. The Friends are now in the process of planning the annual used booksale, which will be held in the fall. Each year the booksale has brought in hundreds of dollars in d revenue. FDCL is more citizens than ever that hoping will participate this year so enough Students are introduced to aptitude testing and ways to help determine desirous careers, he says. Careers are often based on test results coupled with personal values and interests. Noting the classes are generally small, Mr. Baldwin stresses the personalized approach used to assist each person through various phases of the Turning Point program. We dont try to limit students (in selection a of career or training option) but try to tailor our assistance to whether they have short or long-terneeds, he adds. The DAVC has been offering the class, formerly known as SELF, for about a year. Students have come both from the DAVC and elsewhere with many gaining or other support and going on to gain job skills and work placement. says: of education administration strong local libraries and who decision- -making.

The organization, Friends of the Davis County Library, is seeking friends to join the group and participate in its activities. Anyone who believes in the importance of Lectures are combined with discussions, Mrs. Stevens notes. Experts in various fields are utilized to teach various segments. Among those whove served as instructors is Gary Baldwin, a counselor at the DAVC. He has provided input on career testing and his own money to the sale price. The bonds will be paid off through repayment of the loan. Commissioners stressed this is not a bond that is the responsibility of the county for repayment. Any default of payment on the bond would be a problem to be worked out between the new owner of the bum plant and the bond holder. budget representing no salary increase, but a 14 percent insurance increase. The total budget reflects an increase of $86,666 in revenues and expenditures over this years budget. The speculation of a one percent cut in this budget was confirmed by the superintendent. Scouts from Troop 521 who helped Matt Loveland with his Eagle Scout project included, front from left, Matt, Dallin Baxter and Jared Allen. Back row, from left, are Derek Loveland and David Isaacson. Scout project means July 4 walking tour will be easy to follow KAYSVILLE People who participate in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers walking tour of Kaysville on July 4th will be aided along the trail with special numbered markers. The wooden, permanent markers were made as an Eagle Scout project by Matt Loveland, son of Glen and Judy Loveland. Matt became interested in the history of Kaysville about two years ago when he joined with other members of his family to take a tour of historic Kaysville. The family saw a need for easy to spot markers for the different sites. Matt decided this would be a good community service project. Materials for the markers were donated by Kaysville businesses. Economy Builders supplied the wood. Ralphs Builders donated sandpaper and screws. The varnish was a gift of Coast to Coast. Eight members of Troop 521, sponsored by the Kaysville 21st Ward, assisted Matt in making the 30 wooden signs. This involved edging the wood, painting and var nishing each sign. Kim Byington rotated out the numbers. The boys also had the responsibilitiy of contacting the property owners for permission to put up the signs. On July 2 the scouts will have the signs in place. They will remain up for a week so that people unable to take the tour on July 4 can do so later in the week. Matt feels this has been a good project. He has learned more about his home town. After completing this project, Matt will turn in his Eagle Scout application in hopes of earning this high scouting rank by the end of the summer. The Loveland family are active participants in Kaysvilles history. They operate the laundry on Kaysvilles Main Street in the historic Williams Building. Recently, the Loveland's had the north end wall of the building sandblasted to expose the original brick which was manufactured in Kaysville. They plan to match the brick on the side wall with an artifical brick on the front to give the appearance of the original building. |
