CAMPUS site development, including landscaping, walkways and roadways is pegged for $715,000, a figure Board Member Ray Briscoe raised his eyes at. If we could do it, I know we would do it for less if we had the help to do it, Mr. Shell responded, emphasizing the states work the school placed limits on what could complete. - KAYSVILLE The Davis Area Vocational Center continues its growing pains, as its board of directors looks to the future and more expansion. THOSE PLANS reflect continued emphasis placed nationally and here at home on subject areas often taught at facilities such as DAVC. The board in its last meeting gave its nod of approval for a $3.7 million plus five year plan that now moves to the state board of vocational education, having already passed through the building board for their perusal. THAT $3.7 million is broken into six parts, Were trying to stay (even) with the Davis School District salary schedule, Mr. Shell said, with some concern about preparation periods. Some teachers have them and others dont. In addition, some teachers work longer than the regular 180 day contract period and are asking for additional experience (lane) pay. $403,273 while a similar amount, about $402,000 is listed for utilities. Third priority is earmarked at $1 .9 million for construction of electronics, electricity and drafting program facilities. Completion of that 33,000 square foot addition would allow for remodeling of the auto body for classrooms in the mezzanines for $250,000, about half what that would cost ground level, Mr. Shell told the WE TOLD THEM no, but its still on the burner.

Main Street in Farmington were apparently the first people to be flooded on that day of the mud slides and floods on Memorial Day, 1983. SHEPARD Creek runs through one of the most beautiful lawns and gardens in North Farmington and a small creek adds to the beauty of the landscape around the Law home. About two weeks before the Rudd Creek slide, there was a small slide above the Law home, damming the creek with mud and rocks and holding water up there. THEN VERY early on Memorial Day, about 4 a.m., that dam gave way and the surge of water, rocks and mad gushed down, surrounding the Law home and gardens. A window was broken with the torrent and mud and water filled their basement, up to the ceiling. 'In the family room at ground level, there were about four inches of water. Fortunately, the children who usually sleep in the basement spent the night with friends, so they were not in the basement bedrooms. Debris filled the once beautiful lawn and gardens. BUT NEIGHBORS, friends and many strangers came to the rescue. There were up to 150 people helping, according to Cheri Law and what a great feeling to have these kind people working to fill sand bags, shovel out mud and silt and to empty water from the basement with a bucket brigade. A man just riding past on his motorcycle even came in and helped for hours. Many strangers came from Hill Field to help wherever they were needed. ALL THE furniture and ap $60-$7- Marion says.

HEAVY DRINKING leads to problems from men potentially losing some of their male hormones to a suicide rate 55 percent higher than normal, he Airman Linda L. Henry, says. Death often results from clogged respiratory channels and physical withdrawals, Mr. Marion says, citing the loss by a heavy drinker of up to 300.000 brain cells a day-th- ree times the normal. On top of that, the central nervous system is eventually affected and the nutrition suffers as distribution of nutrients suffer.

The board also approved the 1983-8- 4 budget of about $1.2 million, reflecting only a fractional change from last year.
