Chard retired on Jan. 2 folcareer lowing a second 20-ye- ar in law enforcement. The first 20 years he spent in the military, mostly the Air Force, largely involved in police work. Following his military retirement, he and his wife Georgia settled in Layton. Chard was born and raised in Weber County and married Georgia in 1943. They are the parents of eight children, six of whom are living. They have 20 grandchildren. During Chard's last day on the job, his office seemed to speak of retirement on all sides. Cardboard boxes were being filled with his personal belongings. Large stacks of his files were on his desk waiting to be permanently filed away at his home. Only the faded paint showed where the diplomas and certificates had hung on the wall, small pieces of framed paper that really don't do justice in explaining Chards efforts to upgrade Laytons police department. He joined the Layton force in 1964 as a patrol officer, a move Open House Set Jan. 1 1 For Retired Layton Chief An open house LAYTON will be held to honor retired Layton Police Chief LaMar T.

When he hired on Layton had a population of less than 10,000. He became chief of the department in 1966. During his career as chief of police he has seen the city grow to more than 32,000 residents.

During Chards career the police complex has changed from a small closet used as an evidence room and paper boxes for files to the professional police-jacomplex it is today.

Chard graduated from Weber College and later earned his masters degree in public administration at Brigham Young University. He has served on the Weber State College Police Science Advisory Council, and was chairman of the District 2 Law Enforcement Planning Council. He was the president of the Utah Chiefs of Police in 1977 and 1978, a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, a member of the Utah Peace Officers Association, and has been both the secretary and president of the Davis County Law Enforcement Administration. He has also served on several other committees involving law enforcement. Chard said he expects the trend in education to continue for the police force but also hopes to see an increase in manpower on the force. Currently, Layton has a ratio of police to population of .78 for every 1,000. He feels the city should have at least one officer for each 1,000 residents. LAYTON POLICE Chief LaMar Chard has retired after 20 years with the department.

A motion filed by the residents demanded an appeals hearing be set by the court on the planning commissions decision to grant the permit. Rather than have the court require a hearing be held, county commissioners held the appeals hearing on Dec. 20. Residents had until a week ago to submit further evidence the permit should not have been issued. A finding of fact by the county commissioners should be made today, according to Hess. After the court hearing, the complaint must be answered in 10 days, Hess explained. A period of discovery, of yet undetermined length, must be allowed, he said. 2 Z What folks dont look at when g theyre buying a stove is how much heat a flu can handle. The flu is only as good as its rating and once youre past that, the ability of the flu to retain heat is reduced." Blacke said that instead of having heat pass up and out the flu, the heat begins to bake the wooden joist and framing around the flu. In time the wood turns into charcoal, reaches its ignition temperature and, when you start a fire in the fireplace, the charcoal ignites," said Blacke. With this g recent fire, the A house fire apparentg caused ly by a hot stove pipe resulted in $12,000 to $15,000 damage to the home of Larry Perkes, 4497 S. 1900 W, There were no injuries.

It doesnt take long. When buying a stove, Blacke recommends checking to see if the flu pipe is UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed. If it is, the store should have a UL listing that tells how many BTUs the flu can handle. One pound of wood burned generates 8,000 BTUs. if the listing is 16,000 BTUs and you throw in three pounds of wood, youre overloading the flu pipe and eventually youll have trouble, said Blacke.
