Show DAVIS REFLEX JOURNAL, JULY 18, 1984 aters Gone; Cleanups Not 40th Reunion By DONETA GATHERUM Valley View Drive in Layton is a shady, mountainous road lined with substantial homes that reflect extra caie inside and out. Three particular families, the Millers, the Wests, the Larsens, live on Valley View Drive. LAST TUESDAY afternoon, Mrs. Dale West and her children were picking cherries from the young trees planted just south of the family home. I want to fill at least one bucket for my husband. Hes taking some boys up to scout camp, Mrs. West says, stopping just long enough to answer a few Our cherry crop is questions. good. Once we got water to the trees, they did well. The Weber Basin water supply along Valley View Drive was cut off this spring. Before the Wests can use their secondary system, lines, valves and connections will have to be replaced. Weber Basin will not pay for any of the equipment needed to complete the Wests water system. MRS. STEFFIE Larsen lives close to the West family. Tuesday and Wednesday she was working in her yard sorting through pieces of machinery, bolts, saws and other items that were once stored in sturdy buildings behind her home. Mrs. Larsens daughter handed a landscape drawing to John Daughterly who was at the rear of the Larsen home doing some work. The Waldo Miller family were away from their property Tuesday and Wednesday. They are living temporarily in an apartment. NORMAL routines have slowly returned to these three particular families living on Valley View Drive. Wednesday was the last day the ding, ding, scrape, boom of a front end loader was heard in the rear lots. Boulders that were once randomly scattered have now been carefully placed to aid in the landscape beauty of the yards. The Wests front lawn once sloped toward the street. Not it is level. Mrs. Larsen has a new stream flowing near her home. I guess some springs that used to saturate underground strata are now exposed. I don't know what the city will do about fixing the channel. They havent made a final decision yet, Mrs. Larsen ex- plains. THE MILLER home is completely gone. Rebuilding will have to wait until county and city offi- cials decide on stream control. According to Scott Carter of the Layton City Planning Department, the plans are to construct a flood Set By Jaycees MR. BURDETT said at this point, it was discovered that this mud slide situation was not extensive enough to qualify the people for federal assistance. City and county workers are not allowed by law to work on private property. All mud removal and reconstruction work would have to be done by volunteer labor. People and businesses have responded well to the request for assistance, Mr. Burdett says. Weber Basin Job Corp workers spent loadone week with two front-en- d ers working in the slide area. Extensive effort to provide time and equipment free of charge has been made by UP&L, Hatchco, Union Pacific, Durbano Metals, Mark John Daughterly, of Salt Lake City, spent six weeks helping north Valley View Drive residents clean up after the mud slide earlier this summer. Chevron Oil donated equipment, and his time to the cleanup effort. THE NEW plan will soon be submitted to the county flood control committee for consideration. Money from the recently passed flood control tax and flood bond might be used to pay for this proposed channel and basin. Mr. Carter says the city would like to begin work on the project in August. UNTIL A definite prevention program has been approved, Layton City will not issue building or remodeling permits to the families affected by the mud slide. We cant allow construction in this area until we are satisfied that the citizens living there are adequately Mr. Carter explained. protected, "The city is responsible for doing everything possible to protect property owners. A muffled, flowing sound startled these families early in the morning of May 14th. Rapidly a mud slide engulfed their homes, out buildings and yards. Evacuation was necessary. LARRY BURDETT, District Coordinator for the Emergency Preparedness Program for the Layton East Area, received a telephone call at 6:45 a.m. Help was started immediately through the THE REUNION will be held July 27 at the Kaysville Bowery behind city hall. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. and will last about one hour. Members are asked to bring their scrapbooks, trophies, awards, etc. that they would care to share with the public. Such items should be marked. The program will feature as its guest speaker, E, Lamar ner, a past United States Jaycee President neighborhood coordinator, the area and district leaders. City officials were notified. Many Layton workers were on the scene when Mr. Burdett reached the mud slide area. The first step in handling this emergency situation was to make sure all family members were safe. Secondly, a center was set up at the Emerald Drive LDS Stake Center. The LDS Church provided three radios from the welfare ser- vices in Ogden. The Red Cross and members of the I4th LDS Ward Relief Society furnished food throughout the day. services case worker from the Red Cross was available to assist the families. The Red Cross also provided Mr. Miller A SOCIAL with a ladder so he could continue working in his roofing business. Mr. Burdett became completely involved in the mud slide clean-u- p programs. He is the volunteer dis- trict emergency preparedness coordinator and the Executive Director for the United Way of Davis County. regu- lar salary from Chevron. Both worked many volunteer overtime hours. John Daugherty got the feel for mudslides last year when he was assigned by Chevron to work in the Bountiful and Farmington disasters. Things were much worse down there, John says, but the slide was so much larger that the people qualified for federal assistance. There is no help for these ated equipment started hauling away the mud. ACCORDING TO John, the in Layton went very p smoothly. Priorities were set. The first thing accomplished was to open the Richard McMillian driveway. The McMillian home was not damaged by the slide but the driveway was completely covered. The second mud removal project was in front of the Larsen home. LEVELING and landscaping around the West home was the third priority. Finally, the Miller home was demolished. This was hard, John Daughterly says, The family stood out front and watched. There were tears in many eyes. THE LAST stage of the cleanup was smoothing the back portions of the lot so smaller tractors and shovels, rakes and hand labor can finish the job. Excess dirt was taken down Valley View Drive to the north and dumped over the west shoulder. Some people who needed extra dirt in their yard got the benefits of the excess mountain soil.

BURDETT says because there is no federal relief money available to assist the three families who lost heavily and because insurance policies dont cover mud slides, a special citizens committee has been organized to determine needs. A trust fund has been set up for the families through the Citizens Bank of Layton, 1480 N. Highway 89, Layton. Money contributed to the fund will be allocated on the basis of need.
