LAYTON — At Hill AFB, the jobs picture is rosy, even “precedent-setting.” That was the message shared with hundreds of Northern Utah small business owners, including many from Davis County, last week by Maj. Gen. Andrew Busch. The commander of the Ogden Air Logistics Center at the base was the keynote speaker for a procurement symposium sponsored by state economic development officials. “Hill is the most successful ALC (air logistics center) for contracts with small business,” Busch said, having served at all three facilities. He said contracts have been let recently with several hundred small Utah-based businesses worth well over $100 million. “There is a lot going on at OALC,” he said, noting more than 22,000 people are employed “inside the wire,” or within the base. Those are civilian federal employees,

contractors and military. They’re involved in everything from maintaining F-16s and other aircraft, to working as software engineers, to thousands of others supporting the military mission, Busch said. “There are many defenserelated missions, including engineering, logistics, depot maintenance, with ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles) being a significant mission,” the brigadier general said. And tens of thousands of additional jobs are still looked at in the near future, thanks to pending development of what he termed the “precedent-setting” Falcon Hill project. That mammoth project will cover 550 acres adjacent to the base, stretching from Clearfield and Sunset in Davis County into the southern end of Weber County, Busch emphasized. Because of “underutilized” land, in federal terms, the Air Force’s largest Enhanced Use program is

Bowers pleads not guilty

VALYNN BOWERS, above right, in the courtroom.

FARMINGTON — Valynn Bowers pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and forcible sodomy with a 14year-old boy last week. Bowers, a former Bountiful Junior High math teacher entered the plea in 2nd District Court on Thursday. She is charged with five first degree felony counts of rape and three first degree felony counts of forcible sodomy, involving the student who had been in her class, but wasn’t at the time of the relationship.

Shooting suspect arrested

Bowers resigned her teaching post after being arrested on March 5. Prosecutors contend that even though the boy was not in Bowers’ class at the time of the relationship, her position as a teacher puts her in a position of special trust. However, her attorney Rich Gallegos has repeatedly said that isn’t the case, since nothing improper occurred during school hours and that his client did not use her role as a teacher to initiate anything. Linda Nef, another Bountiful High School teacher is currently serving a three years to life sentence after confessing she had a relationship with the same boy when he was 13.

CLEARFIELD — Clearfield police have arrested a suspect in a walkby shooting last August in a driveway here. Police are also asking for help locating the alleged shooter’s brother, who is on Utah’s Most Wanted list. Ramon Rivera was taken into custody last week by Clearfield police and members of the U.S. Marshall Joint Criminal Apprehension Team in West Jordan. Clearfield Det. Kyle Jeffries said that with the arrest police have recovered evidence of the attempted homicide. On Aug. 29, Clearfield Police were called to 862 E. 2200 South on a report of a shooting.They found the victim critically wounded with shots to the shoulder and

face in the driveway. He was semi-conscious and was able to speak with officers. Police used a K-9 unit to search for the suspects, but were unable to find them.The victim recovered after an extended stay in the hospital. Police are also asking for the public’s help in locating Paul Rivera, Ramon Rivera’s brother. Paul is on the state’s Most Wanted list for robbery and kidnapping at the Black Velvet Boutique in Clearfield in September 2008. He has a $100,000 warrant out for his arrest in the robbery. Police believe Paul has been in contact with Ramon in the past few weeks, and Paul was most recently seen at the Layton Surf and Swim three weeks ago. Paul Rivera is believed to still be in the Layton or Ogden area. There is a $1,000 reward offered by the owner of the boutique for a tip leading police to Paul Rivera. Anyone with information should call the Clearfield Police at 801-525-2806.

Bookkeeper sentenced to jail time

FARMINGTON — Dawnie Crockett, a former bookkeeper at a Farmington engineering firm was sentenced Monday to serve one year in the Davis County Jail for taking $300,000 from the company. Second District Judge Jon M. Memmott sentenced Crockett to jail rather than prison so she could continue to work and pay restitution to WestTest Engineering Corp. He also ordered Crockett to three years probation. Crockett has already paid back $42,000 in restitution. She took the money between 2002 and 2008. She pleaded guilty in September to two counts of second-degree felony communications fraud and one count of third-degree communications fraud.

Memmott said the charges would normally warrant prison time, but he gave her the jail sentence instead so she can continue to work, through a work release program, and pay back the debt.

Traffic check set by police

LAYTON — Layton Police and Utah Highway Patrol troopers will set up an Administrative Traffic Checkpoint on Friday, Oct. 30 at Hillfield Road and I-15 from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. The checkpoint is being held in an effort to promote highway safety and deter those violating traffic safety laws, said Layton Police Lt. Quinn Moyes. Police will be looking for drivers who may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and any other violations that present a danger to the public.

School bond ‘needed to keep up with growth’ Davis Clipper • October 29, 2009 • A3

The difference a week makes Though the mountains above Davis County were showing off their best fall colors as recently as last week, above, the storms that hit the area this week have turned both the mountains and the county into a winter postcard, right.

Frugal approach ‘serves county well’ FARMINGTON — What does Davis County’s AAA bond rating mean to the average resident? “Davis County is one of just a handful of counties across the U.S. that enjoys that rating” from bond rating agencies, said County Commission Chair Bret Millburn. Instead of having the near “junk bond” status of California bonds, Davis County’s rate means savings for residents. That’s in terms of lower interest rates charged for bond issues, such as the recently-approved $27 million that will go to improve storm drain channels and related projects. “Davis County has had a plan for a long time. We’re not in dire straits,” financially, said County Commissioner Louenda Downs. In a meeting with bonding officials, the county’s good position was strongly noted and how it makes for a better bottom line, said County Commissioner John Petroff. The three commissioners met with the Clipper’s Editorial Board to discuss a variety of issues, last week. The coun-

THE COMMISSIONERS, above, discuss the county’s financial status. ty’s strong bond rating is also helpful in today’s customer-friendly building environment, the commissioners agreed. “It was a good time to replace the health department facility – a building that is in dire need of being replaced,” Millburn said. “Financially it is a winwin, with the lower bid prices, and interest rates.” As has previously been noted, bids had been projected at about $8 million

to build the 45,000 square-foot facility. However, they came in at nearly $3 million less with the project awarded to Wadman Corporation. “It’s a win-win with Wadman,” Downs said. “They have a lot of employees from the local area.” “The building will be built in the heart of where there is the greatest n See “FRUGAL,” p.

BOUNTIFUL — There’s no recession when it comes to new students joining the Davis School District’s ranks. Superintendent Bryan Bowles said the $250 million bond question on the ballot is intended to keep up with growth. That growth equals about 1,000 more students per year, or equal to 1 1/2 elementary schools, one junior high or two-thirds of a high school’s enrollment. “This may be the last time we can do it without a property tax increase,” Bowles said in a recent meeting with the Clipper Editorial Board. “Even with the recession, the board knew we had a need. We wouldn’t ask unless there was a real need.” In addition, it seemed like a good time to build because “construction costs are down 15 to 25 percent.” For example, a new elementary being built on the Foxboro plan will cost $3 million less – thanks to the recession and hungry contractors, Bowles said. Other districts are considering bonds for something Davis isn’t, due to its ongoing growth. For example, Granite School District also has a ballot before its central Salt Lake County constituency. But much of that money would go to fund air conditioning in many of its schools. “We have some schools that don’t have that (air conditioning) either, but we can’t do that. We have such construction needs,” the superintendent said. Plans call for construction of a new junior high school in west Kaysville, an area that has seen explosive growth over the past few years. Other plans indicate an immediate need for three new elementary schools: one each in west Layton and West Point, and another yet to be deter-

mined, based on growth. The district’s oldest elementary school building, Wasatch in Clearfield, would also be replaced with a new 30-classroom school. A special education school will also be built for “medically fragile” students in the 18 to 22 year-old age bracket. Lots of other work is also planned, including: • A 12-classroom addition to Millcreek Junior High • Woods Cross High School is slated to get a 10classroom addition • More property would be purchased for future schools. Of the total bond, $173 million is projected to go for new construction, renovations, additions and property purchases, while $77 million would be to protect and maintain existing infrastructure. The district oversees 10 million square feet of buildings, or about 12 times the space of the Layton Hills Mall or slightly larger than the Freeport Center business park in Clearfield. “There are a lot of little ones (youngsters) coming up, a lot of new, young families,” the superintendent said. “That brings vitality and life. In addition, there are a lot of older homes that are turning over” from original owners to younger families, he said. Unlike some districts, Davis has never closed a school and not built a new one in its place, Bowles said. “A school becomes the gathering place for a neighborhood,” said Public Information Specialist Chris Williams. “This bond is only for construction (and maintenance). The tax rate will stay the same,” the superintendent emphasized. “It’s not true that property owners would pay $157 more. If we didn’t layer our debt, by 2018, they would pay $118 a year less.”

SMOKE FILLED THE SKY on Saturday as two condominium units burned, causing damage to another two condos.

Fire displaces four Bountiful families BY MELINDA WILLIAMS Clipper Staff Writer BOUNTIFUL — It may be two months or more before two of the families displaced because of a condominium fire on Saturday, Oct. 24 can move back home. South Davis Metro Fire Agency crews were called to 1300 East and 2100 South, on a fire in a complex of six condominiums at 9 a.m. The two-alarm fire started in one of the middle units and spread to the south side of the building, according to SDMFA deputy chief Jeff Bassett.The two units on the north side of the building suffered only water damage. Only four of the units are occupied, and those families will be displaced for some time, Bassett said.The American Red Cross was on hand to help with relocation, but most of the residents were able to go with family members. Bassett said fighting the fire was “labor intensive” and some 40-50 firefighters were on scene, including some from Farmington and Salt Lake City fire departments. Bassett said the complex

was built with what is called balloon construction.That is, the units share a common floor and an open roof system. The fire spread rapidly once it hit that open space and was difficult to fight, Bassett said. Residents of the northern units should be able to move back much more rapidly than residents of the other units. “They may have to replace some flooring and dry the place out, but then they should be able to move back in fairly soon.” The other units will require more work as the floors and roof trusses were burned through. There were no injuries and the estimated damage is about $300,000. Bassett said investigators are still looking into what caused the blaze.

FARMINGTON — No tax increase. No employee layoffs. A leaner budget. Those are three of the highlights in the Davis County 2010 tentative budget that was approved by commissioners Tuesday morning. Copies of that budget, following some “tweaking,” will be available for the public Nov. 25. The final budget hearing and expected adoption will be Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. at Farmington Junior High School. “A decline in sales tax revenue and state passthrough revenue” is reflected in the smaller budget, said County Commission Chair Bret Millburn. The 2010 budget is pegged at $92.8 million compared to $94.4 million for the current budget, which runs through Dec. 31.

Department heads were asked to submit tight budgets, and County Clerk/Auditor Steve Rawlings confirmed that was the case. “I asked them to be very frugal, to live within the 2009 level,” he said. “Last year, requests were $10.5 million over what we had available, and this year it was $4.3 million.” In line with what other government entities and many private businesses are doing, no cost-of-living increase is planned for employees. An unchanged number of full-time employee equivalents is planned, at 933. However, Rawlings said the payroll actually includes only 890 FTEs currently. He noted that insurance rates dropped 12 percent, a few years ago. “We’ve been really fortunate (with insurance premiums) thanks to our

employee wellness program,” which has helped keep rates lower, Millburn said. Deputy Civil County Attorney Gerald Hess emphasized that “all requirements are being met” in terms of preparing the budget. “We do it a little different than the (state) statute, but we are in compliance,” he said. As explained by Millburn, a budget committee, including the county commission, meets regularly. In addition, public budget meetings with the various department heads are held, receiving input from county commissioners and others. “Occasionally a citizen will attend,” Millburn said. “It’s a part of transparency. We have nothing to hide. “I think it saves us money,” as well, he said. “That way, Steve (Rawlings) doesn’t have to go

through all of the process with department heads, prepare a budget and then present it to the commissioners. With our committee, there’s good dialogue,” he said. The budget includes $3 million for construction of a new Heritage Senior Activity Center in Clearfield, with funds coming from capital projects reserve funding. That fund is generally maintained at the $3 million to $5 million range. Some $6 million, meanwhile, is earmarked to begin construction of the new Farmington headquarters library and election building, coming from library funds and bonding. The $5.7 million health building is being paid from capital projects reserve while beginning of “threeyear critical flood projects” is coming from $27 million in bonds. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

Hill Air Force Base explodes bomb for safety’s sake Davis Clipper • October 29, 2009

BY MELINDA WILLIAMS Clipper Staff Writer

HILL AFB —From the surrounding area, it looked like Hill Air Force Base was under attack Saturday, as ordnance disposal experts safely detonated an unexploded bomb jettisoned from an F-16 during an inflight emergency. At approximately 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22, an F-16

pilot on his way to a training mission at the Utah Test and Training Range experienced engine problems about 20 seconds after take off, causing him to drop two external fuel tanks and two unarmed Mk-82 bombs on a remote portion of Hill’s west side. Base officials said that one of the bombs unexpectedly exploded upon impact, causing a power outage on base. Power was restored a

few hours later. The second bomb buried itself nearby. The pilot, whose name was not released, was able to land safely with no damage to the F-16. Col. Scott Zobrist, commander of the 388th Fighter Wing, said it’s standard procedure for a pilot to jettison munitions and fuel tanks after an engine failure. He added that when an engine fails, landing with excess weight is danger-

ous. Base fuels technicians recovered the jettisoned external fuel tanks and ordnance disposal experts decided to explode the second bomb in place. The tanks released approximately 500 gallons of fuel. Some evaporated in the air, and the remainder impacted the remote area. Base officials have contracted for environ-

mental remediation of the fuel by excavating the soil. Prior to Saturday’s bomb disposal operation, Col. Patrick Higby, 75th Air Wing commander said, “We have determined destroying the Mk-82 bomb in place is the safest method to neutralize impact to our emergency response and recovery teams, as well as cause minimal environmental impact.”

The explosion took place Saturday when five M3 shape-charged explosives were detonated over the top of the buried Mk-82 bomb, destroying and remediating the bomb underground.Base officials said the fifth charge penetrated the earth, detonating the bomb, at 2:36 p.m. During the disposal the base’s Roy gate near 5600 South was closed.

WHATEVER HAPPENED NSL Flying J refinery being sold TO STEVE CHAPMAN? BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor NORTH SALT LAKE — The Flying J refinery, here, is being sold, a spokesperson for the firm confirmed Tuesday afternoon. But few details were provided beyond that. “Flying J began the sale process for the North Salt Lake refinery on Oct. 12,” said Peter J. Hill of corporate and financial communications firm Kekst and Company in New York City, in an email.“The company (Flying J) is exploring this as one among several potential paths that would facilitate exit from bankruptcy,” he said. Flying J, headquartered in

Ogden, filed for bankruptcy late last year, involving its Big West refining and Longhorn Pipeline subsidiaries. It initially said no employees would be laid off. However, 80 Utah employees received pink slips in early February. None of them were from the North Salt Lake refinery, company officials said. Among its efforts to exit bankruptcy, the firm put up its 700-mile pipeline that provides a small amount of crude oil to the North Salt Lake refinery. In January, Big West of California, a Flying J subsidiary, shut down its 70,000 barrel-per-day Bakersfield, Calif., refinery, saying it didn’t have enough money to buy crude oil under terms

offered by suppliers. “The sale process for the Bakersfield refinery is proceeding, and is much further advanced (than North Salt Lake) at this stage,” Hill said. In mid-July, Flying J merged its travel plaza business with larger rival Pilot Travel Centers, LLC, of Knoxville, Tenn. Pilot operates several travel centers in the state, including Ogden and Salt Lake City. Flying J, meanwhile, has many travel plazas in the state. A company press release blamed the action on “nearterm liquidity pressure from an unprecedented combination of factors” including big oil price drop and lack of available financing from traditional sources due to disrupted credit markets.

Eaglewood Village waiting, not dead BY JENNIFFER WARDELL Clipper Staff Writer NORTH SALT LAKE — Like a seed buried deep underground in the middle of winter, there’s still the potential for life going on at the city’s proposed Eaglewood Village Development. Though there’s no timeline for when construction will resume on the property, both Compass Development and North Salt Lake officials say that no official death knell has been sounded on the development. Compass is continuing in their efforts to seek financing to move ahead with the project, and the city is planning on moving ahead with a community development agreement (CDA) that won’t go into effect until construction goes vertical. “It’s not dead,” said Ben

Lowe, a principal for Compass Development. “In this economy, all real estate developments have been delayed. I’m not sure of one in the state who hasn’t.” Lowe stays in regular contact with both North Salt Lake Mayor Shanna Schaefermeyer and City Manager Collin Wood, whom he keeps updated every few weeks. “Until U.S. Bank (the bank working with Compass on Eaglewood Village) determines that the project’s dead, there’s still some chance for development,” said Wood. Wood added that North Salt Lake is willing to be patient on the project, since the money the city put toward the development went largely into already made drainage improvements that were vitally nec-

essary to get any future use out of the property. U.S. Bank is also likely to continue being patient with the property, which is in better shape than some of their other Utah projects. “Some of their other projects are way upside down on the land to loan ratio,” said Wood. “That’s not true with this development.” Schaefermeyer is continuing to work on a CDA designed to help Compass hold on to some fluid capital once vertical construction begins, and is planning (with Davis County Economic Development’s Kent Sulser) on getting on the school board’s November agenda to talk about their possible participation in the CDA. “I’m still hopeful,” she said about the development. “We’re trying to ride this thing out as best we can.”

hen Steve Chapman started selling cars at Olsen Chevrolet in October of 1972, it was only going to be for a couple of months until something better came along. He fell in love with the car business and is still in it after 37 years. He sold cars for Kent Murdock and Sam Young for about two years, and then became their Used Car Manager. In 1977, he was hired by Owen Wright Oldsmobile Cadillac in Midvale as their General Sales Manager. He was responsible for both new and used car sales and operations. In 1982 he became General Sales Manager for Ken Garff Oldsmobile-Honda. He worked for them until December 31, 1986. In June of 1987, with the help of a dear friend, Jesse Thompson, he opened his own dealership, Steve Chapman Auto Sales and Leasing. He ran that business until June, 2004, at which time he left for Ireland to fulfill a church assignment. His business closed in 2005 while he was in Ireland. He returned from Ireland in July of 2007 and was hired by the Murdock Auto Group as their Used Car Director. In September of 2008 he decided to join his son-in-law, Ben Mitchell, who owns High End Rides. The dealership is at 555 North Main, Suite A, in North Salt Lake and is only

a few blocks from his old lot in Bountiful. He really enjoys finding just the right car for his customers. Many of them have referred their family and friends to him. He specializes in low mileage lease returns. He can get almost any make or model of car in just about any price range. Many of these vehicles are still under factory warranty. They are thousands of dollars less than new cars and are what are referred to in the business as “clean one-owners.” Most of the vehicles come from California and Arizona. Because of the weather in these areas the cars are in better condition than those found in most other areas of the country. Leasing companies have strict rules about the miles their cars can be driven, and their condition when the lease is finished. For this reason they are a great value. If you or a family member or friend is in need of a vehicle he would appreciate the opportunity to be of service. He can take the hassle out of buying a car and can save you time and money in the process. His phone numbers are: C-801-814-6649, H-801-7459669. His email address is steve.chapman49@gmail.com.

Bountiful City sales tax revenue refunding bonds OK’d A6

BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor

BOUNTIFUL — There are some bright spots to a down economy – including lower interest rates for those borrowers who can get financing. The Bountiful City Council took advantage of those better rates, recently, by authorizing a parameters resolution relating to issuance and sale of sales tax revenue refunding bonds. It deals with bonds issued in relation to construction of

the Renaissance Towne Centre, 1500 South 200 West. What is now Gold’s Gym and Wells Fargo Bank are included in the bond issue. “Bond rates are down next to zero,” said City Manager Tom Hardy. “The city can refinance a special improvement district,” he said of the bonds issued about seven years ago. Emphasizing it wasn’t taxpayer-funded, he said the bond is being paid off by adjoining property owners benefiting from improvements: curb, gutter, sidewalk,

water lines, etc. “The city can issue cheaper bonds by pledging as an additional security, sales tax, even though sales tax won’t actually be used to pay it off,” Hardy explained. With nearly half of the 16 years bond duration over, he said “bonds will bear a lower interest rate for the last nine years. By using its sales tax credit to guarantee repayment of those bonds, the city can get it at about a 3 percent lower rate,” Hardy said. That will translate into a benefit of about $30,000 a

year for the city. “That will help with the economic downturn at no additional cost to our citizens or the city,” he added. Property owners will continue to pay their same assessments as when the bonds were issued – but the city’s budget will ultimately benefit, the city manager said. A public hearing will be held during the Nov. 10 city council meeting, with bonds to be issued either later that month or in December. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

Recycling drop-off center groundbreaking set BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor

LAYTON — Wasatch Integrated Waste System’s recycling drop-off center groundbreaking is set for Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m., at the landfill, here. As noted in a Clipper article last summer, the facility is a first-of-a kind in the state, according to Nathan Rich, WIWS executive director. He believes it will be some time before every city in the county adopts curbside recycling, although that movement is growing. Wadman Construction was awarded the bid for $1,114,000. Completion is anticipated by late next spring.

“Some of the cities are going on board for individual recycling, some not,” said County Commissioner John Petroff, who is also Wasatch Integrated’s board chair. “What if there were a way to do this without a mandatory program that was still convenient to make it work?” “This will provide some quality recycling opportunities for residents and businesses who care to use it,” Rich said Wednesday morning. Should this first facility work out, Rich and Petroff both believe others will be built around the county. They could be small, unstaffed facilities, possibly serviced by a roving crew. “We’ve been talking for

years about trying to extend some of our services into south Davis County,” Rich said.“That does remain a priority for the district.” With several South Davis cities starting to implement curbside recycling, which services are appropriate to offer will have to be decided, he said. “We’re looking at garbage drop off as well as extending household hazardous waste and some larger recycling opportunities,” Rich said. The idea of a waste transfer station in South Davis is still in the long-range planning, he said.“The time when it makes sense to do that is when we’re transferring waste outside of the district. We’re probably looking at

KAYSVILLE — University of Utah and Weber State University students can take advantage of discounted bus and FrontRunner passes. So can employees of some large businesses, such as ATK in Clearfield. But those working for small businesses, especially with 35 employees or less, currently can’t take advantage of such perks. With that in mind, the Davis Chamber of Commerce and UTA are exploring ways to change that. “Normally (this program) involves a single employer,” said Jerry Carpenter, Utah’s information officer. “We haven’t actually formalized a program along those lines” for small businesses. “It’s something we’re looking at,” he added. The idea of offering such a service to small businesses was raised earlier this month at a meeting of the chamber’s Legislative Affairs Committee. Such an effort would fall under the Eco Pass program, said Kent Jorgensen, committee member who is Northern Utah marketing specialist for UTA. “This program is offered for as little as $69 per person per year, which is less than it (normally) costs one person to ride for a month,” Jorgensen told the committee. For UTA, it’s intended as a way to “create value,

relieve congestion, carry more people,” he said. But as currently set up, firms or groups must employ at least 350 people, with the entity guaranteeing payment as if 100 percent take part. The retail value of such a pass could be up to $2,000 a year, Jorgensen said. “Typically, your car sits idle for 95 percent of the time,” other than being used for transportation to and from work. “The cost of such a pass is repaid very quickly” in value, said Davis Applied Technology College President Michael Bouwhuis. Maybe a coordinated effort could be made to place vans at commuter rail stations at appropriate times to further facilitate its use and benefit riders, he added. “The chamber presidents from both Davis and Weber counties want to get together to work on a plan that would benefit small companies who employ less than 35 people,” Jorgensen said. “Once they do, and present their plan to UTA, get their buy-in, we’ll present it to chamber businesses,” Jorgensen told the Clipper. A plan for businesses with more than 35 employees ia already available. “If we could guarantee a certain amount of ridership – it has to make sense (to do),” said Davis Chamber President Jim Smith. “There needs to be a certain number of riders.” tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

WFRC seeking residents interested in eco study Interested residents of Davis County are being asked to participate in a study examining the region’s green infrastructure. Wasatch Front Regional Council is initiating the study, working closely with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands and the non-profit Center for Green Space Design in creating recommendations that can be utilized by cities, counties, government entities, the regional council and others with regard to green infrastructure. Green infrastructure is an interconnected network of natural systems including

watersheds, viewsheds, trails, parks, open space, forest preserves, farmland and natural reserves. The study will help identify the best places to conserve critical lands, protect ecological sites and working lands and preserve open space. The study will also provide guidance on how to rehabilitate habitat and other natural lands. The study will focus on Davis, Morgan, Salt Lake, Tooele and Weber counties. Those interested in participating or who have further questions should contact LaNiece Davenport at ldavenport@wfrc.org or at 801-363-4250. mwilliams@davisclipper.com

Clothing, coat drive aids Head Start kids A7

BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor

KAYSVILLE — As winter approaches, scores of Head Start youngsters in need, and their families, will have warm coats and mittens to wear this winter. “This year we helped 62 families for the winter,” said Brett Lund, Fathers Program director. “The extra clothing that we had was donated to a shipment of supplies going to Samoa” to assist tsunami victims there, he said. Clothing came from a variety of sources, including that left over from the Utah Foster Care Foundation and Head Start staff. “Most (recipients) agreed it was a great help, especially during the tough economy right now,” Lund said. “Several families had recently moved here from warmer climates and would not have warm clothing without the clothing drive.” “It is pretty awesome. It is really helpful for those

MORE THAN 60 FAMILIES in Davis Head Start benefited from a fall clothing drive, recently. that really needed it,” the member of one family said. “ I am a little emotional for the help we received. It is a great blessing for mothers who have been worried about getting warm clothes to keep their children warm in the winter.” Another mother said they are living in temporary

housing and there is no heater in the home – so the warm clothes will especially help them through winter. A food drive was conducted in partnership with the clothing drive, enabling Head Start staff to target families not able to receive food stamps, or access help from food banks and fami-

lies in crisis programs. “We were able to collect enough food to help 11 families and were given resources to assist more families throughout the year,” Lund said. “There were community donations along with school district food drives. Thanks to all of those who donated!” As the Holidays approach, Head Start is starting to implement its Sub for Santa drive. Last year, 531 children in 174 families were assisted. “Due to the economy we are anticipating an increase in need this year and are highly in need of community sponsors/donations,” Lund said. He asked for help from church groups, for Eagle Scout projects, businesses, families or individuals to “share the joy of the season with others.” Those interested in helping are asked to call Debra at 801-402-00704, Joanne at 801-402-0751 or Elizabeth at 801-402-0755.

Mock disaster drill to run through plan BY JENNIFFER WARDELL Clipper Staff Writer CENTERVILLE — Though it’s impossible to predict a natural disaster, that doesn’t mean people can’t try and prepare for one. That’s why Centerville City will be holding a mock disaster/exercise drill on Oct. 31 from 8-10 a.m. Though most residents won’t be involved or may even notice that anything is happening, the city’s emergency response teams and volunteers will be running through the basics of how they would respond if a large mud slide or debris flow came out of Centerville Canyon and into developed areas of the city. “We’ve all gone through the national emergency response training, and now we’re going through the skeletal structure of the plan to see what we learned,” said Cory Snyder, who serves as the city’s public information officer (PIO). “Everyone gets an idea of how we would coordinate all the various entities that would be involved.” Some of the groups that

will be involved in the mock disaster drill include the police, fire department, the city’s Medical Reserve Corps, and some parks and recreation employees. Centerville Youth Council members and others will participate as mock victims for those with CERT training and others to practice on, and local volunteers who are part of the neighborhood networks will also report in. “We’re going to be testing communications, seeing how well it moves up and down the chain,” said Snyder. “It will give us a chance to find out some of the quirks, like how well the radios stay in contact with each other.” Though the city has already run through a tabletop version of the mock drill, the full version on Saturday will be the first time that those involved have ran through a complete (though not comprehensive) live version of the city’s emergency response system. “At times, it will probably be a bit rough.But to be honest, we don’t want everything running too smoothly,” said Snyder.“After all, no real disaster ever ran smoothly.”

F.H. water rates may go up BY JAMIE YEAGER Clipper Correspondent

FRUIT HEIGHTS — Water rates may be going up for Fruit Heights residents, soon. A public hearing to outline the proposal and receive input is being set for the next council meeting, which is set for Thursday, Nov. 5, at about 7:30 p.m. at city hall, 910 S. Mountain Road. The meeting date has been changed due to the Tuesday, Nov. 3, general election. City officials are looking at raising the base culinary water rate from $17 to $19.75 in the near future. Individual homeowner bills would also include any charges for the actual amount used. In addition, officials are looking at raising the base fee each fiscal year, which runs July 1 to the following June 30. That would continue until 2015, when the city’s base fee would be at $32. “The city’s water fees aren’t high enough to cover maintenance, repairs, installing meters and just

everything that goes into making sure residents have clean water,” said City Engineer Brandon Jones. He told city council members recently that the proposed culinary fee increase is necessary because the city’s water fund has had to be subsidized from the general fund for the last three years. In Utah, water funds are supposed to be self-sustaining. “We are proposing a fixed rate fee to allow for enough money,” said Jones. “We would prioritize projects and as soon as we collected enough money we will take some extra funds and try to get ahead on some of these projects.” Council members are looking at collecting and saving money for the next 50 years at a 3 percent increase, hopefully providing sufficient funds to pay for existing and future projects. “We looked at every conceivable way to get revenue without raising residents’ water rate,” said Council member Kris Christensen.

Bridge on the move

BJH student back in school after week on suspension

The Utah Department of Transportation replaced the first half of the U.S. 89 bridge over I-15 last weekend using the accelerated bridge construction technique. It involves building the bridge next to the old structure and moving it into place in less than a day, rather than taking months. The northbound bridge will be replaced this weekend, with I-15 closed from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 p.m Saturday.

BY MELINDA WILLIAMS Clipper Staff Writer BOUNTIFUL — Bountiful Junior High seventh-grader Suzannah Pabla is back in school, wearing a transparent nose stud, instead of the “sparkly”stud she wants to wear. Twelve-year-old Suzannah, an Indian-American, was suspended from classes for the nose piercing she had done she said to honor her father’s religion. The day before the Indian Festival of Diwali (which was Oct. 17) Suzannah got her nose pierced. She didn’t get the response she expected. She was called into the principal’s office and suspended for an infringement of the school dress code which forbids body piercings except of the ears. Exceptions are made to the dress code for religious reasons, but the Davis School District, after consulting with the local Interfaith Roundtable, decided that in Suzannah’s case it was a cultural thing. “If it’s a religious thing, we try to accommodate it,” District spokesperson Chris Williams said. Williams said the district has its own dress code policy, but each school is allowed to amend the policy, working with the school’s community council. Shirley Pabla, Suzannah’s mother is frustrated, not only with the school

district, but with members of the community as well. “I just wish Bountiful would open up. We’re slow to accept other cultures.” She said “Suzie didn’t do it to be rebellious. She did it to embrace her father’s culture.” Suzannah’s father Sodhi practices an offshoot of the Sikh faith, and while Sikh’s don’t believe in body piercing, Suzannah believed she was honoring her father’s religion and heritage, Shirley said. “Her dad’s been really supportive of her. He’s so proud of her.” As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Shirley Pabla said she doesn't know everything about her own faith and Suzannah doesn’t know everything about her father’s faith. Shirley said, “She’s not a bad kid. She had no intention of rebelling. It wasn’t to break the rules,” Now Suzannah is worried about catching up on her schoolwork. Rajan Zed, chairman of the IndoAmerican Leadership Confederation released a statement from Nevada on Tuesday, saying the district’s decision appears to be discrimination. “It was denying the right to this teenager to express her religious and cultural identity freely, who appeared to sincerely believe that wearing a nose stud was part of her religion and culture.” mwilliams@davisclipper.com

Making a world: Colfer shares the stories behind his books BOUNTIFUL — Sometimes, it’s the story behind the story that offers up the real adventure. Eoin Colfer, author of the “Artemis Fowl” series, came to the South Branch Library earlier this week to talk about how he came to write “And Another Thing,” the recently released sixth book in Douglass Adams’ “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” series. Colfer, who fell in love with the series as a teenager, remembers the first time he read the fifth book in the series, “Mostly Harmless.” “It was rushing to this big climax, and I thought ‘He’d better hurry up, or everyone’s going to be dead,’” Colfer remembered, adding that he heard later that Adams hadn’t wanted to write the book.“Then I turned to the last page, and everyone was dead.” The public was quite upset at the

ending, and before he died Adams had decided that he was going to do a sixth and final book in the series. That book, however, never materialized, and so Adams’ widow requested that Colfer write the book for the 30th anniversary of the original “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.” Though he initially said no (and continued to say no to writing more books in the series), Colfer eventually agreed. Of course, fans had some strong feelings on the matter. “As soon as I said I was doing it, the Internet went insane,” said Colfer. “Even more insane than it usually is.” The reaction was bad enough that Colfer became too depressed to write the book, a state that started to change when he was invited to join a “Stop Colfer from writing the next Hitchhiker’s book” group on Facebook. Though he initially joined the group to defend himself, at one point he just gave up and

started actually saying worse things about himself than they were. “I insulted myself for three hours. It was fantastic,” said Colfer. “If you’re depressed, find a website that hates you and join it. It’s like 10 years of therapy.” The second thing that finally

pushed him into continuing with the book was a talk with his wife, which he had while trying to decide whether it would be OK to take the second head off of one of the characters in the Hitchhiker’s series. When he finally told her what the problem was, she just looked at him

and said “I have to pick up the children.” Colfer, however, knew what she meant. “There are some things you should worry about, like your wife and children,” he said. “There are other things you shouldn’t worry about, like taking the head off a fictional character.” Colfer also gave a glimpse behind the scenes of his next Artemis Fowl book, “The Atlantis Complex,” which is due out next summer. The Atlantis Complex of the title has nothing to do with the underwater city (it’s a fairy version of multiple personality disorder), but he didn’t mention this to the publisher when they asked what the title was.A few weeks later, they sent him back a cover they had paid a lot of money on showing Artemis underwater in front of a huge city. “So that’s the big literary reason why the new book is set in Atlantis,” said Colfer with a laugh. “Because I’m a big fat chicken.”

the base’s west gate and accompanying roadway will be moved east, pushing the gate back and allowing for more development. “Eleven million dollars has been set aside to help with the infrastructure to realign the west gate,” thanks to Utah legislative appropriations, Busch said. “This project is designed to create an opportunity for aerospace companies and others to co-locate more closely to the base,” he said. “There are a number of projects that are absolutely ready to bid.” Job estimates of up to

ville, Mike Willden’s home is a free haunted house, but takes donations. This year’s haunted house had a bit of extra help from the Viewmont High School drama department. The house is open from 6:45 - 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 31 (see story on B5). The South Davis Recreation Center is continuing the Halloween spirit with its annual Spook-tacular, set for Oct. 30 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Again this year, South Davis Community Hospital, 401 S. 400 East, in Bountiful, will open its doors to the community for its annual Trick-or Treat event, providing a place to celebrate, and giving patients, both young and old an opportunity to participate in Halloween. The festivities begin Oct. 31 at 3:30 p.m. and will run until 5 p.m. Patients will get into the holiday by handing out treats. For many, it brings back memories and gives them the opportunity to be a part of a tradition. The Inn on Barton Creek, a part of the SDCH campus will also host little ghosts and goblins for trick or treating from 3:30-5 p.m. Avalon Care Center, 523 N. Main, Bountiful, will also be welcoming young trickor-treaters on Friday, Oct. 30 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Also on Friday, the Life Care Center of Bountiful, 460 W. 2600 South, will hold its neighborhood trick-ortreating from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Meanwhile Legacy House of Bountiful Assisted Living Center, will host its Halloween Carnival on

Thursday, Oct. 29 beginning at 3:30 p.m. On Saturday, residents of Heritage Place Assisted Living Center, 1150 S. Main, Bountiful will be giving out candy between 6-7:30 p.m. The Layton Hills Mall will offer its annual trick or treating event on Oct. 31 between 5-7 p.m. The annual Harvest Party hosted by Abundant Life Assembly of God will again be held Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m. in the new gymnasium at South Davis Junior High School, 298 W. 2600 South. St. Olaf Catholic School will host its annual Halloween Carnival on Friday, Oct. 30 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the McNamara Center, adjacent to St. Olaf Church. The church requests that all little goblins be accompanied by an adult. Also on Oct. 30 the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, 1131 S. Main, Centerville, will hold its annual Halloween party. Children are encouraged to dress up for ECOR’s party, and should bring a carved pumpkin. Lakeview Hospital will not be offering X-rays of children’s candy. Hospital spokesperson Tiffany Burnett said that because of restrictions placed on children visiting the hospital due to the H1N1 virus, the hospital will not be offering the service this year. However, she is encouraging parents to closely examine any treats their children receive, and to not let them eat any candy that has not been examined. mwilliams@davisclipper.com

under way, Busch said. Hundreds of construction workers will be hired initially to help with demolition of 134 World War-II era base buildings housing about 6,000 employees, currently. That 10 million square feet will be replaced by new offices, warehouses, etc., along with other new buildings, he said. For example, construction is due to start soon on a Security Forces building on base as well as an ICBMrelated facility. As a part of the project,

20,000 new positions within the next 20 years have been announced, with tens of thousands of others possible. The Military Installation Defense Authority is spearheading the public-private partnership. It is based in Kaysville and chaired by recently-appointed state senator Stuart Adams of Layton. Its CEO is Rick Mayfield of Fruit Heights. “There is a lot of ebb and flow” in workload at the OALC , Busch said. “We always do maintenance, weapons system work, are in a constant state of transi-

tion,” he said. And while production of more F-22s has been put on hold, there is still “a tremendous amount of investment, great amount of workload” for those aircraft already approved and built, Busch emphasized. And signaling other continuing expansion efforts on base, a ribbon cutting is due soon on a new software facility, he said, calling future work opportunities there “very promising.” “The future is very bright,” Busch added. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

of a positive building climate, with construction on a Farmington headquarters library and election training and storage facility anticipated to start next year. It will replace a 45-yearold facility that has been determined to not be seismically sound and is woefully small and inadequate. The county has grown in population by about 2 1/2 times since it was built in 1964. “We have some critical needs, and if we don’t do it now, it will cost a lot more

need,” Millburn said. That said, the commissioners emphasized the full complement of health services will be available to all county residents, For example, there will continue to be a satellite office in Bountiful. Completion of the new facility,meanwhile,is expected by late next year. Until then, services will continue at facilities in downtown Farmington. The county will continue to take advantage

money,” Downs said, speaking further about the $27 million public works facilities bond. “We want to be prepared. Things wear out,” Millburn said, of flood channels, other related facilities. In the 26 years since the floods of 1983, many more homes have been built, stretching some channels beyond their intended capacity, among other concerns, Petroff said. “Public Works could take 10 to 15 years (to complete

necessary projects) if we didn’t have this bond money,” Downs said. As a part of the bond approval, projects must be approved and started within the next three years. Public Works Director Kirk Schmalz is busily preparing some projects to be bid shortly. For example, some channel work will be started in the winter, when they’re free of flowing water, Petroff said. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

Will computer games be OKat library? Davis Clipper • October 29, 2009

DAVIS COUNTY — Will computer gaming of any kind be allowed soon at Davis County libraries? The board of trustees has asked for information about how other libraries across the state are dealing with this issue. It could make a decision in its next meeting, tentatively scheduled for Nov. 17 in Farmington. “As our policy currently states, game-playing is not permitted on the Internet,” said Library Director Chris Sanford. That covers everything from M (mature) adult-type games to instructional games geared to children. “The policy was written and passed quite a few years ago,” she said. “The kinds of requests that we have received so far have been mostly educational in nature,” Sanford said. “For a lot of people, it’s not the games themselves. It’s

the sites that allow them into ‘cheat codes’ that give them a way to solve and play games at a faster rate, advance to another level.” County Commissioner Louenda Downs, who sits on the board, emphasized the need for the library “to create a better environment, something that reflects the community.” She supported taking a closer look at what other library systems are doing before any decision is made by the board. Sanford said she would also confer with Assistant County Attorney Craig Bott on what action is advisable, legally. “This could open it up to argument. Someone could say a war game is every bit as educational for a teen” as a teaching-oriented game for youngsters, she said. Assistant Library Director Jerry Meyer has been conducting research with other Utah libraries. He said gaming on the Internet is allowed at not only Salt Lake

City and County and Weber County Libraries, but it is also permitted by Murray, Orem, Provo and Logan, for example. During a recent meeting, several board members said they wanted more information about how gaming is being handled elsewhere before giving approval to a policy change. In other action, the board voted to make its meeting room policy uniform, not allowing use of the library kitchen in the South Branch in Bountiful. It was already prohibited in Clearfield. Prepared food can still be served at functions held in the auditorium. Holiday hours were approved for the Thanksgiving holiday. All libraries will be closed that day, Thursday, Nov. 26, and Friday, Nov. 27, following the county’s policy. However, libraries will be open regular Saturday hours on Nov. 28, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

H1N1 FLU (Swine) The Davis County Health Department has a limited supply of H1N1 FluMist spray and injectable vaccines. These vaccines are free. The H1N1 FluMist vaccine is for people in the targeted populations who are healthy (but not pregnant) and 2-49 years of age. The H1N1 injectable vaccine is for people in the targeted populations

Free ride home on Halloween offered DAVIS COUNTY — Rather than drink and drive on Halloween, AAA Utah will offer you a free ride. The AAA Tipsy Tow program is open to everyone, including those who aren’t AAA members, a press release notes. The service will be offered to drinking drivers from 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, to 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1 throughout the state, includ-

ing Davis County. The service will offer a one-way ride for the driver and vehicle to the driver’s home. Any additional passengers needing a ride will be taken to the driver’s home as long as there is sufficient room in the tow truck. The number of motor vehicle fatalities rises 40 percent on average when Oct. 31 is on a Friday, Saturday or

Sunday, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders and restaurant managers can call 1-800-222-4357 for a free tow home of up to five miles. Just tell the AAA operator that you need a Tipsy Tow, and a truck will be dispatched. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

Letters Headline was misleading Editor:

Journalists are wordsmiths who recognize that words convey powerful messages and perceptions. The use of specific words in a newspaper article present a picture or idea that can lead one to conclude the thinking of the author about a particular issue. That perception was erroneously conveyed by the Clipper in its Oct. 22 headlines: “Experience or new blood? Bountiful mayoral race hinges on change vs. stability.” This headline and byline appeared to many to be an outright endorsement of the incumbent, Joe Johnson, in the Bountiful Mayoral race. These poor choices of words do not represent the foundation of my campaign—that we need to restore civility to local government, become more transparent with what we as a government are doing and why, allow the voice of the people to be heard in council meetings, and create both an ethics and business development committee to revitalize business.These are but a few points I have included in my strategic plan. To be clear, I will not accept the burden of financial risk with your tax dollars, therefore, I would not have supported the recent

loan by the RDA to a local business for $750,000. I would not then or now support a mandated recycling plan. I would never allow the issuance of an alcohol license within 600 feet of a public building simply because I will not place profit over public safety. I will not turn away businesses who want to purchase, remodel and relocate their company to Bountiful. I will finalize the land swap by the “B”or, at least in the interim, work with the US Forest Service to establish a no firing zone up to 8,000 feet elevation. I will address the safety risk of stray bullets in that area. I have made it a policy to avoid answering letters to the editor and to engage in unproductive mudslinging even though members of the current government have taken that role since the beginning of my campaign. However, the headlines in the recent Clipper must be addressed. If you want to know what I think, what I’ve said and what I will do, visit my website at www.jeffnovak4mayor.com, or contact me personally. Joe Johnson has served admirably for eight years, but two terms is long enough. That precedent was established by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and we would do well to emulate their wisdom.

Regarding the political ad on A16 of the Oct. 26 Clipper, paid for by the “Friends of the Davis District Bond Election,” I feel quite sure that, of the almost 500 names listed in support of the General Obligation Bond Proposal that we will vote on Nov. 3,

90 percent are educators and/or politicians, certainly a biased lot. The education lobby has a stranglehold on Utah politics, and gullible Utah voters believe its propaganda. Jo Ellen Ashworth Bountiful

Marda Dillree: A true champion who brought out the laughter The views expressed in this column are the opinion of the writer and not necessarily those of the ownership or management of this newspaper.

here is a new best-selling book which promotes the idea that positive thinking is undermining America. Marda Dillree would scoff at such an absurd notion. As a Davis County legislator, Marda was one of the first proponents of the Legacy Parkway. She also was a proponent of laughter. She loved a good joke and she smiled even during a cruel joke, the cancer that claimed her last week after a noble 12-year fight. Prior to her retirement from the Utah Legislature, I designed her campaign materials. One afternoon in the late 1990s, she called me about preparing a special package. Her fellow legislators and other at the statehouse had delivered and emailed a variety of humorous thoughts to get her mind

off the cancer treatments. She wanted me to compile them and offer copies to those who contributed. “If laughter is the best medicine,” she said, “these guys should open up a pharmacy.” Here’s a random assortment… “What’s the best way to force a man to do sit-ups? Put the remote control between his toes.” “Qualifications to be a Utah legislator: Walking out of Chuck-a-Rama with food in your pocket, bringing cola home from the store in a brown paper bag, post-dating checks written on a Sunday, having relatives named LaDell, LaVerle or LeDawn.”

“Dear Lord, so far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent. But in a few minutes I’m going to get out of bed and from then on I need a lot more help.” “The world’s shortest book: Career Opportunities for History Majors.” “Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.” “If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a car payment.” “The two most common elements are hydrogen and stupidity.” “Raising teenagers is like nailing Jello to a tree.” “Definition of a Lottery:

a tax on people who are bad at math.” “Atheism is a nonprophet organization.” “Strange state law: In Oklahoma, whale-hunting is strictly prohibited.” “You know you’re getting older when you sit in a rocking chair and can’t get it going.” “LAWYER: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people? DOCTOR: All of my autopsies have been on dead people.” As a legislator, Marda despised meanness and blind partisanship. She was a Republican who enjoyed pouring over ideas and crafting solutions. When I last saw her, the cancer was in remission. We talked about our families and had a good laugh. That was Marda Dillree, positive to the end, facing her challenges with a smile on her face and that neverending twinkle in her eye. Davis County lost a true champion last week.

Bond needed for student growth Editor:

It’s time to vote “For the Issuance of Bonds” during the Davis School District Special Bond Election which is Nov. 3 with early voting. The students are coming and more schools are needed to meet that growth in Davis School District. The student population in Davis School District is currently growing by nearly 1,000 students each year. In the next five years, elementary school enrollment will soar by 16 percent, junior high enrollment by 13 percent, and high school enrollment by 8 percent. If the District cannot build new schools, five junior high schools will eventually have more students than half the high schools in Davis District. We should not have mega junior highs for kids who are entering their teens and need close relationships. From an economic standpoint, it’s wise to build the schools that are going to be needed while construction costs are lower. Davis District often repeats school architectural plans. A new west Kaysville Elementary was bid out in 2009 for a cost that was $2 million less than an identical school which was bid in 2007. And those construction jobs for Utah residents at lower costs for taxpayers are a boost for the economy. Some have suggested that Davis District meet this growth by purchasing more portable classrooms or changing boundaries, or even going to double sessions. Davis District already has 330 portable classrooms, and boundary changes will always be considered although they are rarely popular. These solutions alone cannot meet the growth that is anticipated, growth that is calculated on children that have already been born.

Letters Is the Davis School District bond necessary for better education?

Voters also need to understand the ballot language which can be confusing. The language will indicate that there will be a property tax increase due to the issuance of up to $250 million in bonds. If the bonds are approved, the current debt service levy will remain the same. The Davis Board of Education has made this promise to the public. Language on the ballot states, “However, the Board [of Education] expects to issue the bonds in such a manner that no increase in the current tax rate for debt service will occur. If the bonds are approved and sold, the current tax rate will continue for more years than if the bonds are not approved.” Davis School District has not raised the debt service levy since 1997. Yet the District has met past growth by wisely building schools where they are needed. Many schools throughout the District have had remodeling and renovations. If the bond is approved, we’ll see a new junior high in Kaysville, elementary schools in west Layton and West Point, rebuilding of an older elementary school where growth is expected, and the construction of a special education school for medically fragile students and 18- to 22- year old students. There will also be more additions and renovations and major maintenance projects on many other schools throughout the District. Those additional students are coming. Let’s be ready for them and provide them with classrooms that have the technical equipment they will need to prepare them for a constantly changing world. They will be taking care of us in the future. Let’s take care of them now. Jeana Stockdale Vice-Chair, Friends of Davis District Bond Election Kaysville

Clipper headline had negative spin

12 years too long for public office

Editor: The headline in our recent Clipper “Experience vs new blood? Bountiful mayoral race hinges on change vs. stability,” smacks of bias and gives the wrong impression. I’m sure it doesn’t take even a second to identify with the negative spin that is currently associated with the word “change,” given our recent presidential campaign. Furthermore, the words “change” and stability” are not mutually exclusive. For example, if a building contractor were to renovate a commercial building to make it more able to withstand an earthquake, does that “change” make it less “sta-

ble?” Wouldn’t it seem logical therefore that change and stability could or may be used to reflect the contribution of either of the candidates? The headline seems to convey the idea that “change stands in opposition to stability,” and “stability to change.” This is simply too simplistic! We are blessed to live in a country where we have not only the right to vote but the responsibility and obligation to do so. This race should not hinge on such a faulty and misleading analysis. Please take the time to know the candidates. Talk to them face to face. Analyze their capacities to serve you as you learn about their values and objectives. And then, make the wisest choice you can. Debra Poulsen Bountiful

Editor: Bountiful residents will have an opportunity Nov. 3 to seat a new mayor and two new council members. By and large, the incumbents have served well for two terms, eight years. Now they ask to be re-elected to a third term. These are not career positions. Twelve years in office is too long for an elected official at any level whether municipal, county, state or federal.With term limitation, the need for campaign finance reform would probably be unnecessary. This nation knows about entrenchment and political

favoritism in public office. Term limits must be implemented sometime, somewhere. And now is the right time to elect a new mayor and council members for Bountiful. I’m voting for Jeff Novak who has a solid record of executive leadership. Novak has a four-year plan to strengthen our local government and create an atmosphere conducive to the inclusion of all citizens in governing Bountiful. I’m voting for Phill Wright and Eric Hattabaugh for city councilmen. They share Jeff Novak’s agenda for ethics in government and for district representation on the city council.

Letters Linnell missed facts on issue Editor:

Most of us lead busy lives, and in matters of “civic responsibility” we lean heavily upon the printed word to give us information that we can trust to make our decisions on what policies and candidates to support. However, people are free to submit articles to the paper that are based upon their perception of the truth. Sometimes the “truth” is hard to come by, and we are left to believe the sources we have trusted in the past. In recent months we have witnessed many articles in the Clipper defending the Mayor and City Council in their handling of the alcohol variance issue. In a recent letter to the editor (Oct. 22, 2009),“Attachment did not appear factual”, Bob Linnell went to “the accused”to find “his truth”. He was not a witness to any of the events mentioned. The following are quotes taken from the audio recordings of the public meetings regarding the El Matador’s request for a beer variance: • Bountiful City Council Meeting and Public Hearing, Dec. 11, 2007, Bountiful City Council Chambers:After public comment from both sides of the issue, Mayor Johnson addressed the audience of Bountiful citizens. “And I just don’t quite get the idea today that you guys have come up here, and I’m a little offended by it, that you don’t think because we’re going to prove 400 feet that all of a sudden we don’t care about children. That’s what you’ve said today, ‘You’re not protecting them. You’re not caring for them.

Novak brings ethics, preparation Editor:

Fifty years ago I entered law school in Washington, DC. For the next three years while attending law school, I worked in various positions that put me in close association with elected officials. From then until now I have been an active participant in the political process. I have had numerous opportunities to associate with individuals elected to

You’re not being responsible.’ And you know what, I’m just not buying it, …And for you to come up here and tell me, because we have a restaurant with a beer license, that I’m not protecting my children? You’re just dead wrong, I’m sorry.” • Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC) State Proximity Public Hearing regarding the El Matador restaurant alcohol variance, April 21, 2008, Bountiful City Council Chambers: One hundred nine Bountiful residents were in attendance. One hundred opposed the alcohol variance. Nine were in favor of it. None of the Bountiful City elected officials were in attendance. City Manager Tom Hardy was the final speaker. “My name is Thomas Hardy, I’m the City Manager of Bountiful, and I represent the gentlemen up here, and ladies, that sit as the City Council. Let me first tell you that there are no drinkers among them, they’re all active Mormons, they all have temple recommends, and they made a decision that they considered to be the proper decision.” • Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission Meeting, April 23, 2008, DABC Office in Salt Lake City:The owner of El Matador restaurant explained his interactions with Bountiful City to build his restaurant across the street from the library. Several commissioners asked him questions. Commissioner Bobbie Coray: “…So what you’re telling me is that the economic development arm decided to use you as the anchor tenant for the downtown area, and told you to build this, with the idea that they probably could get a variance for you. Artoosh Hasrat-

public office. From those experiences I have gained a very clear understanding of the qualities that are essential for an individual who seeks or holds an office of public trust. Based upon that experience, I write this letter to urge you to vote for Mr. Jeff Novak for the office of Mayor in the upcoming municipal election. Mr. Novak is a man of integrity. He will bring to the office of Mayor those qualities and attributes that will be needed during the next four years. During the past several years I have become increas-

ian: “Exactly. …I listened to them because they wanted to showcase me on Main Street, and I did exactly what they asked me to do, and here I am, I have to suffer.” The DABC Commissioners voted to grant the variance recommended by Bountiful City Officials. Questions were then posed to the Commissioners: Valerie Mills: “I know you’ve already voted. Can you answer me and tell me what remedies we might have?” Commissioner Kay Balmforth: “I think your remedies are political.” Commissioner Gordon Strachan: “Yes, next election.” Commissioner Kay Balmforth: “ …The interests of one businessman were placed against the interests of the majority, apparently, of people who don’t want to be involved in alcohol, and that’s not the way the statute reads.” Commissioner Kay Balmforth: “You need to let your legislators know how you feel. You need to do something about your City Council.” The public record gives unbiased, unemotional, undeniable verification of what really happened. As you inquire for yourself, you will see that this election has less to do with restaurants selling alcohol, and more to do with the most important issue of all, that of integrity. To obtain audio recordings of these meetings please contact the following: For Bountiful City Council meetings contact Kim Coleman, City Recorder, 801-2986115. For the DABC meetings, call 801-977-6801. An audio tape is available to any citizen for the public hearing sponsored by the DABC on April 21, 2008.

ingly concerned with the lack of transparency and accountability associated with the municipal government for Bountiful. I believe that it is important for the future of our community to bring to the office of Mayor an individual who has the preparation and the personal ethics necessary to restore confidence in the management of our community’s public affairs. Jeff Novak is such an individual. John Harmer Bountiful Former Lt Gov of California

Is school bond really needed? Editor: On Nov. 3, the Davis County School District is asking you to support a $250 million bond proposal. The proposal states, “passage of the proposal means that the tax on a $250,000 residence within the district would increase by $156.93 per year.” In our current economic times, that seems like a lot to add to our tax bill. The heading in their “Meeting the Need” flyer states, “Supporting the Davis School District $250 million bond election on Nov. 3 won’t increase your tax rate.” The tax rate is not the tax that we pay on our properties. The formula for our taxes is: (Market Value of the property times 55 percent times the tax rate equals the tax we pay).

Campaign reform is necessary Editor: Two things are evident in the air this fall. Neither one of them has to do with football spirals at the Ute’s or Cougar stadiums.With the recent nonevent of county primary elections, (in terms of voter turnout and participation), it is clear that apathy rules the electorate even in our little town of Centerville. Our former governor appointed a select group, Commission on Strengthening Utah’s Democracy, to study the matter. Most agree there is a need for ethics reforms in state government, but given the distance and the new job title for Gov. Huntsman it isn’t going to happen with former Lt. Governor Herbert. Efforts by Kim Burningham and his group, Utahns for Ethical Government are working diligently to bring reform via the

Big thanks to Davis County Health Dept. Editor: I salute the Davis County Health Department for the tremendous effort to immunize as any of the high-risk residents of South Davis County as possible on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009. The location for the H1N1 immunization clinic at the LDS Regional Center was a brilliant idea, with great use of the space, adequate parking and well-thought-out organization of many people

The tax rate is only one element. In fact, the school district tax rate on my personal property has decreased from .005964 in the year 2005, to .005514 in the year 2008. The tax rate for the year 2009 has not been received yet. The flyer also states, “The foregoing information is only an estimate of tax increases, and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the Board may be required to levy in order to pay debt services on the bonds.” New homes and businesses continue to broaden the tax base in the county, although at a much slower pace than when the economy is thriving. The Bond is based on a 10-year projection, but currently homes are not being constructed as rapidly. Additionally note the numerous trustee sales listed in the Clipper. However, if there is substantial growth,

why can’t we utilize the resulting increase in taxes collected to pay for the School District needs, on a pay-as-you-go plan, rather than assuming a $250 million debt? Finally, per the flyer, do we want or need a separate special Education School for medically fragile students, and 18 to 22-year-old special needs students? Travel from all over Davis County to one particular school could represent a hardship for medically fragile students. Also mainstreaming has advantages for the entire student body, including peer tutors to assist our teachers and great examples for our special needs students. I urge you to consider this proposal carefully before you vote your choice. And, either way, please vote.

ballot box. A review of statewide voter turnout to communities in Davis County yields the same results. Among those who know, this is a consequence of Utah’s own “wild west” campaign practices leaving voters dissatisfied with candidates and politicians for the most part. In the 2006 election Utah had the lowest voting rate in the nation at 36.7 percent. We used to be among the highest in any election. In the recent countywide primaries for Davis County voter turnout was between an abysmal 6 and 10 percent. If campaign reform is going to happen on the state level it should begin on the local level. Consider among the four candidates for Centerville City Council this electoral cycle the distribution of campaign contribution and expenses. It is obvious to anyone driving through our fair city who has spent and collected the largest sums of money. To some degree the election

results support that premise. Incumbent Justin Allen raised some $4,875 prior to the primary election, more than $3,000 coming from donors external to Centerville. The other three candidates collected and spent a combined $1,300 and change. Campaign finance reform needs to happen. The good efforts of the Governor’s select commission needs to be supported along with the efforts of Utahns for Ethical Government. Until change is made money buys votes in our city and in this state. Contact your elected representatives and mayor and let them know how you feel about our elections. In Centerville do you want them being bought by the Northern Wasatch Association of Realtors, or the Utah Apartment Association, Stokes Strategies or any other lobbyist or special interest group?

involved. KSL News reported over 5,000 people received immunizations! Thanks to all who volunteered their time for this initial project. I appreciate this incredible effort to protect Davis County citizens from a “swine flu” epidemic. My maternal grandfather died in Provo in 1920 at the age of 34, as a result of the influenza epidemic. He left his wife with four small children and no government welfare program to come to her assistance. The memories of my mother’s stories of how

awful this experience was for her family still haunt me. I am very grateful for our local and national government for sponsoring this program and also to those who patiently waited in long lines to be immunized.

Letters Bountiful needs fresh outlook Choice between two good men Editor:

Elections don’t stress me out. I develop opinions easily and confidently. The dilemma is this: Current Mayor, James Behunin is running for re-election and current Councilman, Ken Romney is also running for Mayor as his opponent. The difficulty for me lies in the uncomfortable choice between two good men. The problem arises since both mayoral candidates appear to be excellent, trustworthy men. Both seem to be conservatively like-minded and seem to hold viewpoints similar to my own.What’s worse is that I consider each to be a close personal friend. Here’s my solution: If the voters elect Ken Romney to serve as their mayor, only one of these good men will continue to serve the city because the councilman will replace the mayor. The empty council seat will be filled by appointment and be unelected. However if James Behunin wins the election, both men can continue to serve the city. I can’t see why voters would want to eliminate one. While there is no doubt that both Councilman Romney and Mayor Behunin are both dedicated men, they have significant differences in their leadership style. Ken Romney is affable and everyone’s friend, while James Behunin is more direct and determined.

This is a good thing right now. We need consistent strong leadership and direction rather than “change,” just for the sake of change. West Bountiful has made important progress in the past few years. The Mayor has fixed the police department with the appointment of a consummate professional as chief. The city staff has been improved with the addition of Administrator Craig Howe and most recently, a full-time financial manager. The budgets are tight and well considered; Mayor Behunin is nothing if not a tight numbers guy. The prior city manager has retired honorably and we are all grateful for his years of service. We have new trails. We have a thriving retail area and thriving community boards. We still need consistent directed growth. There is a continued need that West Bountiful act rather than be acted upon or merely react to outside interests who want to push our small city around. Mayor James Behunin has provided knowledgeable strong leadership and residents should vote for him to stay. Ken Romney has and should continue to serve well as a balance on the city council. We need both men. I will be voting for James Behunin so West Bountiful can benefit from the strides we’ve been making and I strongly encourage you to do the same. Boyd Fisher West Bountiful

Bring on debate in Syracuse race Editor:

Tom (“Tip”) O’Neill had it right when he said “All Politics is Local.” All over Utah this November cities and towns will be electing their mayors, councilpersons and other officials. You can’t get more local than that. In my town of Syracuse things are really heating up. The real issues of good local government are being obscured by rumors, innuendoes and accusations. It is time to stop all this

nonsense by having a public debate between the two mayoral candidates. The discussion can then revolve around what is important. We need to know the candidates’ positions on budget issues, tax issues, future growth problems, stimulus grant money and other things that will move our city forward into the 21st century. For the sake of good government in Syracuse bring on the debate. Robert Van Velkinburgh Syracuse

Editor:

It was with dismay that I read the front page headline in last week’s Clipper titled, “Experience or new blood? Bountiful mayoral race hinges on change vs. stability”. What was so disturbing about the headline was that it was designed to lead the reader to believe that the only way we will have stability in Bountiful is to stick with the status quo with our current city officials. The tacit message was, “the only way we can have experienced leaders is to keep with the ones we have.” While I agree that Joe Johnson has had many years in public service, anyone at the meeting can tell you that the mayoral candidate, Jeff Novak, is not lacking in experience. While I agree that our current city officials have accomplished some commendable things, anyone at the meeting (or certain city council meetings) can tell you that there is room for some change in our city government. Anyone with any life experience knows that holding office for years does not always mean stability. In addition to the disappointing and blatant bias shown by that headline, there was also a very long editorial from Bob Linnell, former mayor of Bountiful. Mr. Linnell made the case that Laura Bunker had leveled false claims against some of our citizens and elected officials in a letter she sent out in support of Jeff Novak. In reading his letter, it does not appear that Mr. Linnell was at even one of the meetings where Laura Bunker claims to have had her experiences. So instead, he said he called all the people Laura mentioned in her letter and they all said she was falsely accusing them. The message is: If Bob Linnell says they didn’t do and

say those things, then you should believe him over Laura Bunker. Even though Laura was at the meetings and Mr. Linnell wasn’t. Even though others at the meetings have also added their witness to Laura’s. Even though most of us weren’t there, we should, by the simple fact that Bob Linnell is a former mayor of Bountiful, completely invalidate all that Laura Bunker said, assume she made it all up, and get on with business as usual. That’s the trouble. Business as usual. That’s what some are calling for. And that’s what we’ll get. Same run-around when you need some help from city hall. Same disrespect for the opinions of citizens who don’t happen to agree with our leaders. Same disregard for proper role of government and process. It is important that you remain a sheep and follow along with the flock, otherwise, heaven forbid, we may have change. There is no doubt that Mayor Johnson and the current city council have dedicated the best of their time and service over the past several years. It is a thankless and often stressful job to run a city. I am sure that these men and women have done their very best to represent us in a wise manner. But, I have been to city council meetings and watched them at work. Without the space to go into detail, I will just say that I have gone away from those meetings wishing there were more attention to the proper role of government and fewer special preferences granted. I have wanted to see more accountability and less blame. I would have liked more respect for the citizen and less defensiveness by some of the leaders. It is with that perspective that I say I believe it is time to get some new people in place with a fresh outlook to the future of our city.

Judge’s retirement Davis County’s loss Editor:

In April 2008 we hired a man I’ll call “Mr M” to make repairs on our home. It would be a few weeks before he could begin, but the lumber yard had a sale on the materials he would need, or so he said. He asked for, and I gave him a check for $3,500. Several weeks passed before we realized we had been scammed. We kept calling and he kept promising, etc. Finally after nine months we turned to the legal system. Detective Gary McFarland of the Kaysville Police Dept approached “Mr M”and received more excuses and promises. Then it was turned over to the Davis County Courts in January 2009. The first appearance was The State of Utah vs “Mr M” in March, with a criminal charge of theft. The Victims of Crime Assistance Program with Janine Men-

delssohn and others on her staff answered our many questions, and their explanations helped us make decisions. For instance: “Mr M,” on the advice of his court appointed attorney, paid a little over $2,000, which took it from a felony to a misdemeanor. They then gave us the opportunity to say, “Thank you and we will forgive the remainder.” We said, “No, we want it all.” After six months and several court appearances, we finally and thankfully received the full amount. Sitting in court over those months we watched Judge Rodney Page preside and adjudicate dozens of cases. There were defendants from those who had made stupid mistakes and wrong choices to those who were downright evil. In each case Judge Page treated them with courtesy and respect. Judge Judy could learn from him! His retirement is Davis County’s loss. Thank you, Judge Page. Lynne Jansen Kaysville

improvements. They’re facing an early December deadline to submit a Community Development Block Grant proposal to Davis County officials for their review. Fruit Heights is vying for a piece of $1.8 million in funding that could have lots of other applicants. In addition, there are many criteria that must be met. “Our Mountain Road project barely, by 1 percent, met the lower to moderate

income qualifications,” said City Planner Jeff Oyler during a recent city council meeting. He is referring to a CDBG requirement that a simple majority of residents who directly benefit must come from low to moderate income. He explained that the $450,000 referred to above would be the most the city could apply for if it seeks one-year funding, while $600,000 could be sought

over a two-year period, for a potential of $300,000 maximum each year. However, several council members said they worry that it “may not be worth it” when all of the administrative costs and fees associated with receipt of such a grant are included. “Since we have never applied for a CDBG grant before and since we have a chunk of money saved to contribute to the project, those are two things going

for us,” said City Manager Brandon Green. Although the city often comes out near the top, statewide, in terms of per capita household income, most money coming into city coffers is from property tax. That’s because the community of about 5,000 residents has only a small commercial tax base, including several shops at the Rockloft and Cherry Hill Resort & Campground.

BY JENNIFFER WARDELL Clipper Staff Writer LAYTON — It’s a chance to help out your neighbors, halfway across the world. Mothers Without Borders will be holding their fourth annual fundraising boutique at Chantilly Mansion (170 N. Main, Layton) on Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. All proceeds from the boutique, which will feature a wide variety of handicrafts from local residents, will go toward the group’s Family and Children’s Resource Center in Lusaka, Zambia. “Even with the economy the way it is, for most of us there’s still a long way to go

before we hit the bottom,” said BJ Warnick, who helps organize the event.“Our friends over there are already at the bottom.” The resource center, however, is helping to change that. In addition to a home for orphans and their guardians, volunteers were recently able to construct a one-room school house, an outdoor kitchen area, a playground (a rarity in Zambia) and a small outdoor amphitheater. “One of the best ways for the kids to work out the tragedies and realities of their situation is through drama,” said Warnick.“The amphitheater gets well used.” It’s the thought of these children that inspired Heidi

Short, a sixth-grade teacher at Sam Morgan Elementary in Kaysville, to get her class working on crafts for the upcoming boutique. The students are putting together felt horses and mittens that will be filled with candy, and thinking about those who will be helped by their work. “Most of the kids have so much, it’s good for them to see kids the very same age who don’t have very much,” said Short.“It’s good to hear them talk about the kids in Zambia and the responsibilities they have.” She added that the students have been really enthusiastic about the project, taking them home to work on over weekends and n See “COMING,” p.

Donations of products for the boutique are down this year because of the economy, but Warnick feels that makes the boutique even more important. “People early on wondered if I was going to do the boutique at all this year,” she said.“I told them that we have to do it now more than ever.” Those interested in donating crafts to the boutique can call Warnick at 801-510-1580 or email her at bjwarnick@gmail.com.

NSL’s Screamatarium looking to scare

Davis Clipper • October 29, 2009

THE FRONT OF THE SCREAMATARIUM, which, according to the back story, was the home of a failed series of experiments which drove people insane with fear.

BY JENNIFFER WARDELL Clipper Staff Writer NORTH SALT LAKE — What truly makes a haunted house frightening is the human imagination. There’s plenty of that imagination on display at the Screamatarium, which will be open Oct. 30-31 from 7-10 p.m. at 104 North Bamberger Ct. in North Salt Lake. In honor of the holiday, a simple garage has been transformed into a sanitarium with a dark history. “The whole thing goes around creating people’s fears, which kind of leaves

us open to do anything,” said Brian Dove, who is doing the haunted house with his son. Though scares are the goal – the story at www.screamatarium.com includes failed experiments, terrifying deaths, and a house “hungry to feed on the screams of its residents” – the house also has a more kid-friendly version that can be requested. “More lights are on, and no actors jump out,” said Dove.“They can just go around and see all the cool stuff there is to see.” The Screamatarium is also planning to have an

impact long after Halloween is over. Though a trip through the haunted house is free, Dove is also accepting cash donations for those affected by the recent disaster in American Samoa. “It’s kind of a way to give back to the community,” he said. In the end, however, it’s the scares that Dove hopes people will remember. “We want them to be scared, and we want them to have fun,” he said.“Even though it’s in a garage, we want them to think that this is the best haunted house they’ve ever been to.” jwardell@davisclipper.com

school choirs will also sing music of the season. There will be hand-crafted items available for purchase as gifts for youngsters and others, along with treats. Items will range from gift baskets to blankets to quilts and more. Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., a silent auction and tree preview will take place, while a dinner and auction will be held at 6:30 p.m. RSVP for the dinner by calling 801-660-6108 or 801292-3801. Cost is $50 a table or $750 per table for 10. The silent auction will include several vacation packages, autographed basketballs from former football great Steve Young, Lasik surgery packages, gift

baskets including gift certificates of hair products and more. Last year, items auctioned included two road bikes, with more items still being accepted, said Kay Card, executive director for Safe Harbor. “It’s a fun, fun night with all proceeds going to benefit Safe Harbor,” she emphasized.“This is our only fund raiser of the year.” In addition, donations of toiletries, clothing and toys are always accepted at the shelter for use by children and mothers. Phone number at the shelter is 801-4449161. Donations may also be mailed to: Safe Harbor, P.O. Box 772, Kaysville, UT 84037.

FARMINGTON — After three years and raising $41,000, the Knowlton Elementary Colts ran for the first time around a new track built around the school’s fields. Knowlton Elementary is a Gold Medal school, meaning one of its focuses is on the physical health of its students. The school and its principal,Grace Larsen,have been saving for three years for this track — which was dedicated this week and the ribbon cut with the help of others in the district and community. “If we keep our students physically fit, they’ll do better in academics as well,” said Larsen. The entire school was invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony, and the kindergarten class was the first to run the full track. Speakers at the ceremony talked about the things students can accomplish in their own lives as well as the importance of this specific accomplishment. “For schools that decide to take something like this on, it’s really an asset to these students,” said Davis School District elementary school director Kristi Frodsham. Frodsham spoke to Knowlton Elementary students about Davis High School cross country coach Corbin Talley, who ran the Wasatch 100. Farmington City Mayor Scott Harbertson also addressed students about staying physically fit. “I’m more fit today because of what happened when I was younger,” he said. He told students he used to walk to and from school every day. Davis School District Superintendent Dr. Bryan

Weekend Halloween haunts come to life across the county BY SHALYN ROBERTS Clipper Staff Writer CENTERVILLE — Doctor Frankenstein’s laboratory, a flying Dracula and clown-infested mayhem are just a few of the haunts available this Halloween in Davis County. Mike Willden’s Centerville home is full of festival Halloween tricks and monsters. Located at 1387 N. 75 W., this home is a free haunted house, but takes donations. This year’s haunted house had a bit of extra help from the Viewmont High School drama department. “While admission is free, donations are suggested and will all benefit the VHS drama department,” said Willden. The house is open from 6:45 - 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30 and Saturday, Oct. 31. In Woods Cross City, another house is going all out with animated monsters and Halloween decorations. The home at 916 W. 2025 S. in Woods Cross fills its yard with moving monsters.

Cars can trail by the house, which the whole family donates time to build, and see different monsters move and wave. The South Davis Recreation Center is also hosting a spooktacular event with trick-or-treating, carnival games, spooky crafts and more. The event is on Friday, Oct. 30 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Between neighborhood haunts, spook alleys and animated monsters, the weekend offers various haunts throughout the county.

A glimpse inside nuclear disposal BY JENNIFFER WARDELL Clipper Staff Writer BOUNTIFUL — The nuclear world is messy, which means that there are people who have to clean it up. One of those groups doing the cleaning is EnergySolutions, which runs a class A nuclear waste treatment and disposal facility in Utah’s west desert. Mark Walker, who is in charge of marketing and media relations for Energy Solutions, recently spoke to the Bountiful Rotary about what the company actually does. “(U.S. Representative) Jim Matheson feels that the work we do makes Utah the dumping ground of America, but we argue that’s just not the case,” said Walker.“We would rather see this stuff properly managed than out there where the wind could pick it up.” About 20 percent of the country’s electricity is created by one of the 104 nuclear power plants currently in operation in the United States. Though Utah doesn’t get any of its electricity from nuclear sources, Chicago gets as much as 50 percent. In the west, the largest nuclear power plant in the country is located just outside Phoenix. The EnergySolutions disposal facility, located in Clive, Utah, handles only the

lowest level of nuclear waste (the company has other disposal facilities and operations centers located throughout the U.S.). That means items such as dirt and rubble from power plants that have been torn down, as well as the clothing worn by workers at those plants. Anything stronger, including normal smoke alarms, cannot be stored at Clive. “The spent fuel from nuclear power plants stays on location,” said Walker, adding that EnergySolutions helped oppose the measure to store spent fuel on the Goshute reservation.“Keeping it on location is the right thing to do until the government decides to start recycling it like the rest of the world.” Employees at the plant are exposed to about 41 millirads of radiation a year. According to Walker, the average American is exposed to about 600 millirads a year just in their daily lives, usually in doses such as the 8-12 millirads in a dental X-ray. As for the waste itself, the landfill at the Clive site is about one square mile big. At its current size, EnergySolutions expects to fill it within about 30 years. “It’s not as big or as high as the Salt Lake landfill,” said Walker.“It surprises people.”

Canyoneering in my bathroom y bathroom has become the exit point for a major “canyoneering” route, and it’s just creepy. That’s because the hikers trekking from my drains with tiny water sandals and ropes are cockroaches. Even showering doesn’t stop them. They probably approach the last climb up the flowing drain of my bathtub as a challenging ascent through a waterfall. Out they clamber, giving each other leggy high-fives for their prowess, ignoring the cringing soapy giant cowering in the farthest corner of the tub, toes curled and squealing “Eeww, eeww!” What brazenness! I stomped my heels in the tub, thinking the massive vibrations would send them scuttling back down the chute, but instead, they raced toward my naked toes. I screamed and flung myself from the tub, grabbing the shower curtain to steady myself and sending the entire curtain rod crashing down, dripping water everywhere. My soapy feet slipped on the tile, and I ripped the towel bar from the wall in an effort to stay upright. I looked back to see the cockroaches sitting in little bleachers, laughing and enjoying the show. But I had the last laugh. I lunged for my Slipper of Death and pummeled the insolence out of them. That didn’t seem to faze the other explorers, though. The next day, I was washing my face at the sink and opened my eyes to find myself faceto-mandibles with a humongous cockroach slithering from the drain. What chutzpah! It didn’t have the

decency to flinch or run, or even excuse itself or hand me a towel. After my initial shock, I grimaced, “Adios, sucker,” and reached for my executioner slipper. I’m sorry, but I feel no pity for this species of God’s creatures. They have the entire outdoors to frolic. I thought we had a deal: I don’t bother you outside, and you don’t bother me inside. Some of my own species might tell me the roaches are just doing what nature intended them to do: colonize my bathroom, where water and sloughed skin provide a yummy buffet. But don’t expect me to put on an orange crossing guard vest and escort them back outside. And I don’t think Animal Control is going to send officers to catch the roaches and release them into the wild. So it’s up to me, and the best I can do is post the tiny signs around the perimeter of my house that warn: ? NO TRESPASSING! VIOLATORS WILL BE SMASHED INTO GOO! Honestly, if they ignore my warnings, fatal squishing is their own fault. And really, for creatures having something like three billion years of adaptive experience, they should be smarter. Shouldn’t they have realized that, gosh, 230 billion of us skulked into houses and never returned, so therefore, houses must be an existential no-no? Well, I’ll continue to give these disgusting cockroach explorers more teaching moments whenever they pop their beady little eyes above my drains and scurry out to plant their flags in my bathroom. And speaking of flags, I think it’s time to spray some Black Flag.

There are recommended trails for seniors in the area, with level walkways and even pavement. But what people look forward to the most is what they can see while out on those trails. “We like to go up the mountain and look down on the valley. You can see everything from there,” said Farmington resident Lois Mulholland. She and her husband, David, have been avid hikers around the Farmington area for the past 10 years. They each said there are trails that seniors can enjoy, even without hiking up the mountain. “We’ve seen deer and fox along the Shepherd Creek trail and we enjoy going past the horses on the Buffalo Ranch trail,” said Lois Mulholland.

County Commission Chair Bret Millburn said Tuesday that plans are being finalized for a new facility.

For the last decade, it has been housed in the old Clearfield City Hall, which now serves as that city’s Community Center.

have Christmas this year thanks to the annual Operation Christmas Child and South Davis residents from at least three area churches will have a hand in it. The First Southern Baptist Church of Bountiful, 696 N. 400 East, is serving as an official relay center again this year. In addition to the First Southern Baptist Church, Grace Lutheran Church and the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection will be participating this year. Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse, ships shoe boxes filled with gifts to children throughout the world, and if you think it’s too early to think about Christmas, the organization’s national collection week is Nov. 16-23, according to Jan Barking with the First Southern Baptist Church. “It’s not too early. We have many people who like to gather a few items over time.” Barking said the children are thrilled to get the gifts, even though they aren’t big or expensive.

FAMILIES CAN WORK together to fill shoe boxes with small gifts to distribute to some eight million children worldwide. Members of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection are inviting the community to join them by picking up a box or two from the church and filling them. Those picking up boxes can drop the filled boxes off, either at the Episcopal Church 1131 S. Main in Centerville, or at the First Southern Baptist Church. Members of Grace Lutheran Church will also fill boxes, as they have for several years. Kids, families, church groups, school, civic organizations and businesses can join in the effort. Organizers of Operation

Christmas Child separate boxes into those for boys and girls, and by ages ranging from 2-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years of age. Participants are asked to fill a shoe box with school supplies, toys, hygiene items, and hard candies. Those who wish, may also include a separate note to the child and a photo. They ask that no damaged items, war-related items, chocolate or food, out-of-date candy, liquids or lotions, medications, vitamins or breakable items be included. The box may be giftwrapped or donated as is, but

if it is gift-wrapped, organizers ask that the lid be wrapped separately, so each box can be examined before it is shipped. Each donor is asked to donate $7 or more for each prepared box to help cover shipping and other costs. A donation envelope will be available at First Southern Baptist Church or online through the program’s EZ Give at wwwsamaritanspurse.org. Operation Christmas Child began in the United States in 1993 with 28,000 shoe box gifts. Since that time, the kidshelping-kids project has collected more than 61 million shoe box gifts and hand-delivered them to needy children in some 130 countries, including: hurting children stricken by poverty in war-ravaged Sudan (2007); children in wartorn Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries (2006); young survivors of the horrific tsunami in Southeast Asia (2005); school children attacked by terrorists in Beslan, Russia (2004); and children in Honduras and Nicaragua left homeless by Hurricane Mitch (1998). Those who would like more information may call the church at 292-8095, or to find out more about Operation Christmas Child, go to its website at occinfo@samaritan.org.

George Richard Smith 1956-2009 If you heard the sounds of a guitar, and a husky voice singing “Kate, my beautiful Beauty” that would have been Rich singing. G. Richard Smith left us October 22, 2009 from his home in Centerville, Utah. Rich was born to his dear parents Pat Reiser and G. Robert Smith on May 1, 1956 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and spent his youth as an inquisitive and energetic boy with his brothers Tom and Jim and cousin Joe in that nostalgic era in Sugarhouse. He attended Garfield Elementary, Olympus High and Salt Lake Community College. When he chose a profession he

approached it with enthusiasm. He was not just a painter, but an excellent and unusual artist, whose special delight was refinishing antiques and being asked to help restore the LDS Tabernacle and Assembly Hall. He loved his work, woke up singing every morning, anxious to begin the day. Rich found tremendous joy in the outdoors, jamming with his friends on their guitars, and his dog Molly. Rich had a great love for his family. He loved people and always looked for the good in them. Everyone he knew was a good buddy or sweetheart. He was never happy unless he was helping others, until his health no longer permitted. Being with Rich made one feel warm and special. The great love of his life was his sweet wife, Kathryn “Kate” Hinton, whom he adored. His indomitable spirit leaves her happy and fun memories, as well as times of mutual love through his years of pain. His funeral will be 11 a.m. Friday, October 30, 2009 at Lindquist’s Bountiful Mortuary, 727 N 400 E. Friends may gather Thursday from 6-8 p.m. and Friday 10–10:45 a.m. prior to services.

want to share a humorous instance of miscommunication that I have enjoyed for years. Perhaps you have heard it but would like to see it once again. It is preceded in Dan Clark’s book titled “One Minute Messages,” by this comment from him: “Communication is an exact science, involving two or more persons, . . . the sender of the message and the receiver of the message.” He continues,“In the family, there isn’t a generation gap, there is a communication gap.” Then he proceeds with this humorous example: “An English lady was looking for some rooms to rent in Switzerland and asked the local village schoolmaster to help her. A place that suited her was finally found and the lady returned to London for her belongings. She remembered that she had not noticed a bathroom, or as she called it, a water closet, so she wrote to the schoolmaster. He was puzzled by the initials,“W.C.,” never dreaming, of course, that she was asking about a bathroom. He finally asked the parish priest who decided that W.C. stood for

It is capable of holding 350 people at a time and is open on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday each week. A large number of folks attend during the summer months, so it is suggested you go early, although there is plenty of standing room. Some folks like to take their lunch and make a day of it, especially on Thursday when there is organ accompaniment. “It may be of interest to you to know that my daughter met her husband in our W.C. and was also married there. “We hope you will be there in time for our bazaar

What they mean and what we hastily misunderstand may be two different things. I was amused by some examples of notes that teachers at schools received. In this case the “senders” did have some problems. “Please excuse Jimmy for being. It was his father’s

fault. “My son has been under the doctor’s care and should not take fizecal ed. Please execute him. “Please excuse Sara for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot. “It wasn’t Jimmy’s fault that he doesn’t have his homework. The dog ate it. It was hard. We had to force him to do it, but he did it” (Ibid.). I am convinced that communication is important. I am convinced that often we quickly interpret comments erroneously and I am doubly convinced that a sense of humor is a wonderful mediator. I have seen pathetic situations eased by laughter. I have seen quarrels turned around and communication reestablished. Sometimes it may seem inappropriate to the watcher, but to those involved, laughter can release tension in situations that are extremely difficult. May we ease the tension in our own lives by finding the humor and then sharing it. What a legacy we would leave our youth.

Rhyme and Reason SWAN SONG (by Marilyn Larrabee) Autumn is the Gloria Swanson of seasons. Like that aging drama queen, she denies the end of fertility, dreads the harvest as evidence her time in the sun is done. Autumn wind groans her last song as she dances the last dance around a smoky bonfire. Desperate to ward off imminent decay, she wears layers of garish make-up over dry, leathery wrinkles. Her gaudy silk scarves rustle and swirl in crackling firelight. Soon spent, she collapses to face north wind. Sobbing, Autumn's tears flood fallow fields and quench fires, making way for Winter. The Utah State Poetry Society, Rhyme and Reason Chapter, is national and state affiliated. . For additional information, visit www.utahpoets.com or call 292-9596.

We, the family of Juan Joseph Allred would like to wish him a happy 80th birthday. Juan was born in a log home in Smithfield, Cache, Utah on Nov. 3, 1929 to Arlin and Irene Allred, the youngest of seven children. Dad lived a fruitful, productive life. Born during the depression years, he learned to work hard and be very frugal. After serving a mission in Minnesota and Canada, he married Gladys Bingham in the Logan Temple in 1952. They have eight children: Joe (Ann), Irene (Jerry) Thomas, Sharene (Gary) Lloyd, Annette (Marvin) Jones, Renae (Alan) Ruppe, Keith (Sherry), Gaylene (Kent) Burbidge, and Paul (fiance Krista), 42 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. Spending most of his life working under the hood of a car, Juan is a master auto mechanic, running the family owned “Allred’s Garage” for many years. Following back surgery, he returned to school at USU and became an automotive teacher, first at Viewmont, then at DATC teaching diesel automotive until his retirement in 1995. Juan and Gladys served two

Danielle Newson LDS missions; Fresno, Calif. and Church Offices in Salt Lake City in the auto fleet department. Now they enjoy retirement traveling to sunny Arizona for the winters, actively serving in the church, pursuing a hobby of cutting stain glass, being of service to his family and neighbors at a beckon call, attending the temple, camping and enjoying the warm Utah summers at their home in Kaysville. The family held a surprise early birthday bash this past July when all of his children could be in attendance. And so hats off to Juan, Son, Brother, Bro.Allred, Mr. Allred, Dad, Grandpa and Grandpa Great. We love you and wish you many more birthdays.
