That should be easy, .right? Wrong! The odyssey started with no significant problems. Everyone in Davis County knows where the BARD is located, so it was easy to get to the BARD gate. There was a small sign at the gate indicating that the BARD is now open only to Bountiful residents. The courteous scale house operator agreed that the sign should be a little larger and that haulers should know before they get to the gate that only Bountiful's trash can be accepted at the HARD, take along a map BARD. He explained that some people wont be polite about being turned away. Anyone who has hauled trash to the dump would have to agree. By the time youve completed the task of getting trees pruned, grass cut, basements cleaned or garages emptied to make room for the cars, youre tired. Especially when you take into account the energy expended before the actual work began, that of motivating your fellow worker, (i.e. husband) and borrowing a truck from your neighbor the deer hunter. The last thing you want to hear when you finally get to the dump is, Bountifulites Only. The mellow scale house operator said he wasnt too worried about any serious trouble because many times its the wife who drives to the dump with the trash.

How do you get to the NARD?, I asked. He said he wasn't sure, he just knew it was near Hill Field. So 1 turned the trip odometer to zero and headed North. As 1 traveled along Interstate 15 it occurred to me how important it would be for garbage to be covered as it is transported to the NARD. A skillful driver could keep the trash in a precariously balanced load over the back roads to the BARD, but it would be impossible to do at 65 miles per hour. 1 took the Layton Hills Mall exit and turned right. I knew that street headed toward Hill Field. 1 followed the road to the South gate of Hill Field.

Residents from West Point to North Salt Lake are getting involved in the fight to reduce taxes, says Jane Oshita, county coordinator from the Utah Tax Limitation Committee. Noting that some 500 attended a big tax protest rally staged at the State Capitol earlier this year she estimates interest will mushroom sponsibilities and powers city govern- ments have regarding planning and zoning. 2 Career ladder gams approval By DONETA GATHERUM The Davis FARMINGTON School District Career Ladder Program has received Board of Education approval and on Aug. 7 will be submitted to the State Department of Education for their approval. Stephen Whitesides, spokesman for the Career Ladder Committee, told Board of Education members the program was a revision of the three earlier plans. The committee looked at plans used by other school districts in Utah to strengthen and improve the Davis County system. They decided to change the Davis County plan by amendment rather than abandonment. Over 100 hours were spent in developing the Career Ladder ProgAn overview of ram for 1987-8the program has been sent to DEA members. A two hour meeting 8. prior to the opening of school will be held to explain the details to all teachers in the District. There will be one copy of the program placed in each school for review and reference. Mr. Whitesides noted that the funding amounts for career ladder has not been established by the state at this time. Because of this fact, a point system will be used with no dollar amount fixed until the funds are available. All levels of the vertical dimension of the plan will be using this point system subject to state funding. All teachers will have the ad van- -' tages of the seven additional career ladder days. Four of these days will occur before school begins. They will be one day each at the end of each first three terms of school. Payment for the career ladder days will be made according to salary schedule. ILights coming By DONETA GATHERUM Before the end of LAYTON the summer, the ball diamond at the city park near Vae View Elementary will be lighted. The city council recently approved a low bid of $19,528 for a four pole lighting system. Two extra poles that were purchased when Oak Forest diamonds were lighted will also be used in the Vae View project. Two bids were received for the project. The low bid that was approved was awarded to Keen Recreation of Layton.

By purchasing in bulk, Morrison-Knudse- n claims they will save at least 10 percent or they wont take a fee. Items that will eventually be purchased by the Parks and Recreation Department include a one-to-n truck that can be used to push snow, a two-to-n dump truck with a dump bed and a used recreation van. Morris-on-Knudse- LAYTON Thursday evening members of the Layton City Council departed from the usual routine of giving blanket approval to the final plans of several subdivisions to ask questions such as, Would a fence help the neighborwho wants to farm his ground? Is the city trying to find out who is responsible for damages to an existing fence? When can the council expect to see the storm drain project completed? ,. More and more frequently the Layton council members and people on the city staff are being approached by property owners who feel they have suffered property damage because of a careless developer or because a project contracted by Layton City was not properly finished. The cases are many. They in- Continued Pags 2 Broken fence and debris around a water line allegedly was left by private contractors.

New hires must note citizenship By TOM BUSSELBERG BOUNTIFUL Only U.S. citizens, legal aliens or aliens granted amnesty may get jobs. Thats the thrust of the new Immigration Reform and Control Act that was passed into law Nov. 6, 1986. Business people were informed of the laws impact by Louis M. Pickett, Utah Job Service field operations and employment service director at a recent seminar. Under the new law, verification is required for any employee hired since Nov. 6 of last year. The law lists five necessary steps: Employees must fill out their when they start part of Form work or complete now as soon as forms are received which should be 1- -9 1 by Aug. . Employer must check docu- ments establishing employee's identity and work eligibility. Employer must complete Form (the applicable form). form at least three Keep the if or, employee stays longer, years retain for at least one year after ter1- -9 9 mination. Present the form for inspection to an Immigration and Naturaliza tion Service or Department of Labor employee upon request. Mr. Pickett was quick to note that implementation applies to any employee. The laws purpose is to prevent unlawful employment and help reduce illegal immigration. Admitting the lure of jobs is a major factor in illegal and legal immigration, Mr. Pickett says hopefully the law will reduce problems such as the deaths of 18 illegal aliens in a train car in Texas. Employers have benefited in many cases through hiring illegal aliens, he said. Theyre good, hard workers. Some come to work at jobs the natives (American-born- ) are not willing to work. Emphasizing that prior to Nov. 6, 1986 it was not against the law to hire illegal aliens, Mr. Pickett outlined particulars: Employers must ask for identification that should verify place of birth. It can include a valid U.S. passport, Social Security card or drivers license with picture identification. The new employee must complete a portion of the government form with the rest completed by the employer. This should be done immediately upon starting work. emEven a temporary, three-da- y ployee, say, must fill it out in that case, on the first day. The form must be retained at least one year after an employee quits. as its called, must be The available for inspection by INS or Department of Labor officials who will normally give three days notice of their visit unless suspicion of major problems exist. Checks probably will be made of businesses that have established 9, traditions of hiring illegal aliens. No search warrant or court order is necessary for the check. Employers are responsible for completing the form and the other steps to prove vertification. Clearfield Job Service will provide verification if asked by employers. An 18 page information hand- book should be mailed to employers by Aug. l,Mr. Pickett said. Further information is available by calling Clearfield Job Service at 773-838- 0. Fire station named LAYTON The main Layton City fire station will be called the John H. Adams Fire Station. Last Thursday evening the city council approved naming the fire station after Laytons retired first, e fire chief. Mr. Adams was the subject of a special slide presentation given at council meeting by Fireman Scott Adams. Most members of the fire department were in full-tim- attendance. Among the many accomplishments Chief Adams completed during his many years with Laytons Fire Department was the purchase of very modem equipment including Laytons first ladder truck and a special rescue vehicle. Chief Adams is also responsible for establishing a system of training within the department, an educational program that is taken to elementary schools and an annual open house to acquaint the public-wit- h the many fire safety programs that are available through the fire department.
