That means no bandannas, shorts, sports and wear with team logos, music hats rock and or or ripped apparel, tom clothing. Anyone found wearing such garb neednt apply for admission. They will sent packing to skate at rinks elsewhere. The dress code, which is touted as new on a taped informational line, has actually been in place for about 8 months ever since Classic owner Alan Bailey decided to dress Klein and Ralph Lauren attire roll-relat- 1 agaisusfi gaongs step don't have to come " example, dont offer skaters much protection against floor burns when they fall. And hats tend to come off and impede the safety and progress of other skaters. Thus far, Classics dress code seems to paying off. After an initial drop in business, the number of skaters at the rink are up. Bailey attributes the increase to parents willingness to let their children come to a clean and wholesome facility. Kids ages eight through 14 make up much of Classics clientele. Bailey said that age group is less inclined to complain about the code than older teens. Those that do object are free to take their business somewhere down skating toughs and ruffians in pursuit of a kinder and gentler roller skating rink. We are trying to create a family type atmosphere, he said. We found that sports wear brought in gangs. We didnt want that type of crowd or skaters that looked like they belong to that type of crowd. Problem is, as Bailey explained, that sloppy or rough apparel leads to rough skating by those who act like they own the rink. Too many elbows and too much shoving, he said. When kids are dressed different their attitude and things change, Bailey said. Theyre not as violent...or crazy. But it isnt just a behavioral or attitude adjustment Bailey is striving for; safety is also of paramount concern. Shorts, for else.

Bill Collard lauded Classic's cooperation with the police in discouraging loiterers at the rink and vandalism to adjacent businesses. He said the roller rink never was a big gang hangout or problem, but sometimes attracted loiterers or the occasional gang member.

The Democrats nominated Randall Edwards, a Bountiful attorney who was instrumental in the fight to throw out Swank and Bingham, as the House District 19 nominee and Todd Taylor to run for the House District 20. Neither Edwards or Taylor even filed to run for the House seats and a possible court battle could be the result of the action on April 23. Taylor is currently serving as the state partys executive director. The two Democrats vying for the county clerk-audito- r nomination are the only ones in the county who face a primary election runoff in June. Theresa Dabling, a retired federal worker and Clearfield restaurant owner, received 61 percent of the votes from delegates and she will face Pat Herrera, a Kaysville real estate agent, in the primary. Party officials say the turn of events is a bit unusual and although Davis County Democrats can nominate whoever they want the two other candidates have the right to file and run as members of the party. The legality question will be raised because neither Taylor or Edwards filed for the legislature seats during the open filing period mandated by state law.

The developers want to built a road Moss Hill Drive that would be connected to Bountiful Bouelvard. At this point we dont have legal title to it, Mahan said. We are not in a position to guarantee a second access and I dont feel comfortable granting approval for this subdivision without the title. The city has been negotiating with Keller about the property for several months and hope for a resolution to the problem within the next few weeks. Dr. Pepper Murray asked the council for approval pending the outcome of the road dispute so his project could continue without any more delays. He also wanted to bid on his road at the same time as the city. We will turn it around as quick as possible, City Manager Tom Hardy said. The council told Murray that the request will be tabled until the land dispute with Keller is completed. We are close to a settlement with the land owner, Mahan said. It wont be a long time. The Johnson-Murra- y Subdivision will have 5 lots over 8.5 acres of land. The planning commission had given the subdivision approval earlier in the month and sent it on to the council for conceptual and preliminary approval. Bountiful officials want to build a road from 400 North and 1300 East to connect with Bountiful Boulevard as another access to the Bountiful Temple for drivers coming from Centerville and Bountiful. Keller has plans for a subdivision wants the road in a different location than the city. In other action , the council denied a request to set a public hearing to amend the zoning ordinance to reduce the front yard setback in single-famil- y residential zones to allow for extension and modernization of existing homes. Following the recommendation of the planning commission and City Planner Blaine Gehring the council voted not to set the public hearing as the request was too vague to take any action. The council granted approval for a home to be built beyond 200 feet from the street at 2867 South Cove Lane as requested by Monte Cassell, owner; approval was given for a two-lo- t subdivision at 190 E. 1100 South to 30-fo- ot Daniel Frederickson, owner and preliminary and final approval for a subdivision at 2251 S.

Results of the evaluation were presented to the City Council Wednesday by Jeff Maxfield. Salt Lake County assistant fire chief, and Brent Hallidav, of the State Fire Marshals Office. City officials had asked for an outside review after the fire department's handling of the fire at 375 E. Spencer Way drew fire from the Petersons and some of their neighbors. But Maxfield told the council the review was an honest evaluation, not an exercise to assign blame. We took it right from the beginning not to make g this a exercise. Its easy to armchair quarterback after the fact, he said. Of primary interest to council membeis was the contention of some critics that firefighters supply of water was interrupted and they experienced a delay of seven to eight minutes in getting water from a nearby hydrant to fight the fire.

Paul Arnold said the man entered a Key Bank, 1065 N. U.S. 89, at 9:30 am. and handed a female teller a note which said he was armed and wanted cash.

He was last seen heading west toward the Trolley North theaters. A police dog tracked the robber to that area but lost his scent in the parking lot, leading investigators to believe the suspect had a getaway vehicle parked nearby. The suspect is described as a white male in his early 30s, weighing about 250 pounds. He was wearing a baseball cap with an offset bluebird logo, red jogging pants, tennis shoes and a white and red windbreaker.
