Candidates in the local school bpard Precinct 4 race share a majority of the same interests on issues, but differ when it comes to campaign strategy.

Downs said she has received of her funding from the DEA, with the remainder coming from private donations and her own pocket. There are no strings attached, Downs said referring to the DEA contributions. I feel comfortable with the issues I have in my own head, she said. It (the funding) does not mean I will be just a representative to them. I have no gifts that have to be returned. I am me, and they bought into me, and not I into them. Downs said she is honored by the variety of support she has received and said she feels the DEA support gives an indication that all facets of education are working togather. Other issues discussed by the candidates involved the topic of education reform. We need to continually reform education because the needs of education are changing," Forbes said. Forbes said reform in education is vital because education is competing against other state agencies for the same state support.

I dont think at this point in d school is the antime swer ...because of the cost, he said. Downs also agreed education reform measures have to be implemented. Some of the things schools themselves can do is implement an alternative (scheduling) session day, Downs said. The alternative session allows students to attend school in varied time frames in order to provide instructors with more time for individualized instruction. Downs said alternative scheduling would reduce class size and is currently on a trial basis in four elementary schools within the district. Other issues addressed by both candidates included the elimination of competitive athletics from secondary schools and the proof the kinderposed garten program. Downs said she opposes any cuts that are made to kindergarten and supports the current measures being taken by the board in reviewing the funding for school athletic programs. Forbes had similar views. Athletics are an important incentive for students to come to school, Forbes said.

According to County Assessor Willard Gardner, a malfunction in the computer program used to value and generate tapes in the vehicle registration (renewal by mail) program, will cause some delay for approximately 50 percent of those registrations up for renewal in October. The problem lies in the fact that a value was not matched to the vehicle to be registered and in the absence of a value the registration documents were not printed, Gardner said. The vehicle packets normally get out by the first of the month, Gardner said. ROBERT REGAN and then choose which idea Review staff makes me laugh, he said, If it makes me laugh then its pretty good.

Browning said he was upset by the boards decision to reject the parents request based on expense, because recently the district spent $28,000 on trees used in landscaping Sunset Junior High. If they have money to buy trees, they should have money to spend on people, Browning said. Browning said the district had no intention of making a change when the parents group made their request in the open meeting. There are certain (school) administrators who do not wish to make any changes because that would make their life inconvenient, he said. Browning said the trees were purchased and planted earlier in the year. sup-jYp- , . FARMINGTON The Davis pounds a week, Neiger said. .
