In a recent meeting COG, a board consisting of the countys mayors, representatives of Davis School District and Hill Air Force Base, awarded funds for seven projects, five of them being joint citycounty projects. Sunset Mayor Norm Sant, who announced how the funds were to be distributed, said the No. I project approved went to Clearfield City for the $300,000 upgrading of infrastructure at the Airlanc Park subdivision. The subdivision is located near the truck gate to Hill Air Force Base on 700 South. The planned improvements include curb, gutter, sidewalks and a new storm drainage system. Community development block grants must be used to benefit The lop joint project to receive funding included a $350,000 project to loop a culinary water line from the unincorporated Davis County area to west Farmington. Sant, who chaired the council's block grant committee, said the committee gave the most favorable consideration to projects proposed by government entities willing to bear part of the cost. ' Other projects approved included $300,000 for the Davis County Housing Authority for housing rehabilitation cost and $30,000 to the South Davis Fire District to purchase 5,000 smoke detectors to be residents. given to Sant said nearly $3 million in projects was submitted to the committee this year for evaluation.

Three projects submitted that received no funding included a storm drain project in Kaysville for $286,000, a water line for the Davis County Hooper Water Improvement District for $175,000 and a $316,000 request for 400 West improvements in Centerville. low-inco- residents or improve low-inco- slums or blighted areas.

Three weeks ago, Mayor Norman Sant recommended the council increase the fees by $3.60 but last week he adJed 30 cents to that figure. The additional proposed increase is in the fees for sewer services. The money will be needed for nu- merous expensive infrastructure improvement projects mainly sewer line improvements in the city, he said. He said one proposed project alone would cost more than $222,000. Even though as a city weve always paid our own way, wcvc never had any money in the bank," Sant said. Expensive infrastructure repairs will require considerable savings over the next few years, he See FEES on page 2 f correspondent great-grandso- Job creation main concern Governor says crowded freeways need attention, also By JaNAE FRANCIS Standard-Examine- r correspondent LAYTON Transportation and job creation were central themes in a speech and question and answer session given by Gov. Mike Leavitt Thursday. Leavitt was hosted by the Layton Area Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon at Camelot restaurant. Some 130 people were in attendance. Transportation issues represented the majority of questions offered by chamber members. Leavitt said many solutions to the states transportation problems cannot be offered by government agencies. People have to change the way they think, he said. We all want public Leavitt transportation. Do you know why? Its because we want our neighbor to ride it so there will be more room on the freeway for us. The governor agreed with one questioner that the states freeway system, especially between southern Davis County and Sandy, is . in serious need of improvement. He said efforts toward solutions must be started soon before the freeways get so crowded that it is impossible to improve them. Leavitt said he plans to lobby the federal government for assistance in a freeway improvement project. We now have a plan in place that has a $1 billion price tag, he said. Frankly, we shouldnt be asked to pay for such a project. He said other solutions are also being considered. I expect at some point in the future either enhanced bus service or some form of light rail to move people off that interstate, he said. Leavitt said job creation is his top concern as governor. Just to employ our children, we need to create 250,000 jobs in the next 10 years, he said. For every one we dont create, we lose one of our family members to another state. He said an important aspect of his plans stratefor job creation is the states long-tergic advantages. We are at a point where we have to start attracting businesses on the basis of quality of workforce, not how much money we will Sec LEAVITT on page 2 m hand-painte- Second-gradeat Holt Elementary School have donated four quilts covered with painted hand prints to the pediatric ward at Davis Hospital and Medical Center.

Mayor votes to retire from teaching after 35 years By KATHY KELLY Standard-Examine- r correspondent Bob Holmes says hes fiSUNSET nally getting out of the ninth grade after 35 years. Holmes, 61, who is also West Haven mayor, has been teaching industrial arts at Sunset Junior High for 29 years, retiring only this week. He was among the first set of teachers who began teaching when the school opened in 1964, and taught for six years before that. He figures he has taught more than 6,000 youth through the years, with an average of 150 to 200 students each semester. He has taught some former students children but said, Id have to teach for another few more years before I started teaching their grandchildren. The only grandchildren I have taught are my own. Ive seen kids change from wanting to learn to wanting to be entertained," said Holmes. That may sound negative but that is what society has done to the kids. He has worked with many types of students with varying capabilities. He said some of the very best students coast through assignments while others work their hearts out and still dont accomplish everything they want to do. Holmes has seen physical changes in the schools as well, as students use computers in addition to pens and pencils. He said his own classroom has stayed basically the same through all the changes in the rest of society. Holmes wont be idle as he retires from his school teaching because he has a See HOLMES on page 2 -- Friend from afar : : Sven Wandres, a native of 1 Germany, has been living with Duard and Kristie Pederson of Fruit Heights as part of the Youth For Understanding !; --!
