Show AUGUST 26, .1986 Ncgotiates land for new school Layton - Kaysville parks in good hands By JOYCE WINTERS order, cleanliness and green lawns in our parks and cemetery exists, we are prone to take it all for granted. The cleanliness and order which adds to the beauty of our city doesn't just happen. It takes a lot of roncentrated effort by a special group of city employees who have managed to catch the vision and who take a certain pride in making our town something special. ..The Kaysville Parks and Recreation Department. A lot of the credit needs to go to Vance Garfield, superintendent of Parks and Recreation. Vance is a city boy from Los Angeles who has chosen the slower paced life of Kaysville. That slower pace is very debatable if you were to follow him around town any given day. Vance must have read the book, or In Search of Excellance, maybe its because hes owned his own business before. At any rate, Vance knows how to treat people. He builds up his staff, gives them praise and credit for work well done and tries to any limelight that may come to him. In trying to interview Vance, he tells about his staff, one of whom is the Parks Foreman David Black. David is strong in such areas as mechanical work and reaching young people. Along with helping keep the vehicles running smoothly, David helps young people who are in trouble try to turn their lives around. side-ste- p David works with youth offenders. He helps the courts by putting those offenders to work on public work projects. David has worked in drug and alcohol abuse programs with SAVE, helping young people straighten out their broken lives. David does the scheduling of the parks personnel. 'With David Blacks background and Vance Garfields background with youth, the two make a good combination in our city youth programs. Vance graduated from BYU in youth leadership and is just, two semesters away from a masters degree in recreation. He and David see the need for good parks and a strong recreation program to help young people in their development, and to keep them busy and out of trouble. With their kind of vision, its no wonder Kaysvilles little league programs have gone from a few hundred parin ticipants to over a thousand--jus- t baseball and softball alone. They 1 . mission. .

Over 200 young people participated this summer in that program alone. Under the care of the Parks and Recreation Department come the city parks, of which we have five, plus a new one starting: the cemetery, and all the city property. Thats a lot of land to mow, water, plant, weed and take care of. Vance knows a lot about landscaping and caring for land. One of his many past jobs included being a tree foreman at the second largest tree farm in Oregon, plus working as a landscape manager in a company there. Our Kaysville City Parks Department evolved from the Streets Department as the city grew in size and population. When Vance was first hired it was as a landscape gardener. Then later his title was Parks Superintendent, and now its all inclusive to Parks and Recreation. Vance and his wife Kimberly and five children: Erinne 1 1, Sarah 9, Michael 7, Audrey 5 and Seth 2, have been part of Kaysville for over three years now.
