The planning commission was thrilled with the response and turnout. It went really well. Development is still a real issue. We have had some delays in the telephone survey planned for September and we are looking forward to doing the survey the end of September the first of October, said Petersen. After results of the surveys have been tallied, the planning commission will be looking at a decision of whether or not to amend the general plan of the city to include larger apartment complexes. Even if, and that is a definite if, the planning commission agrees to amend the general plan, each rezoning will be done on an individual basis and there will be site plan issues involved including traffic flow, sewer, height, water, wetlands, etc., said Petersen. There continues to be pros and cons concerning development in Farmington. Schools and roads are a concern in many cities. Centerville placed a temporary moratorium on building in the north area last summer because schools are over crowded and the school district asked for time to evaluate the situation. That moratorium has since been lifted. Working with developers to help solve critical needs is a process which takes some give and take.

Councilman Shafter was first elected to the City Council in 1983. A long time resident of the Davis County area. Councilman Shafter has years living spent the last thirty-on- e in the same Bountiful neighborhood with his wife, the former Sue Trimble, and six children. He says he is "dedicated to keeping Bountiful a prime residential community. Having been a citizen of the city for such a length of time, he says, gives him a firsthand knowledge of the wants and needs of the people. In fact commented Councilman Shafter, I feel my voting record demonstrates that I was one who consistently represented the wishes of the PARK Park, North Salt Mayor Clair Jones held a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the according to a letter to Mayor Gregory S. Bell from Sidney W. Smith, director of Davis County Public Works. We understand that Farmington City is nearing action on the Prows & Associates development between and US Highway 89, wrote Smith. Davis County Public Works has no authority or desire to influence the city in zoning and development matters. Several years ago the cities requested the county to be involved because of efficiencies of scale and to more fairly collect and distribute revenues and expenses. The county accepted this role and delegated it to county public works. Channels were designated for county responsibility. Shepard Creek is one of those channels. The project as proposed provides to the county most of the property for a large detention basin. The basin reduces the peak flow in the channel which eliminates the need for a larger culvert under The cost saving is over a quarter of a million dollars. Channel improvements from to the lake are also significantly reduced, said Smith. We have a window of opportunity provided by this project as proposed, that will save the county tax payers a considerable sum of money and reduce the present risk of flooding. Therefore, we ask the city to consider the flood control benefits to the city and the county as part of the overall decision making process," said Smith. Other issues such as transportation, schools, roads and safety will need to be addressed if and when the potential apartmentbusiness development is allowed to submit further desiens. majority of the community. 1 really work for the people, and 1 dont ever forget that. In his past twelve years in office. Councilman Shafter has voted for strict enforcement of the laws regarding beer sales to minors, manning of Bountiful Fire Station 2 at all times, increased water hook-u- p fees for new construction to pay for the increased needs on the water system, and an increase in use fees on the Bountiful City Golf Course to be set aside for future improvements. Also, he pointed out, one of the most important things he unfailingly voted for was a balanced budget during each of his twelve years as Councilman, with no property tax increase to residents. He voted against joining the new play area. Parks Beautification Team Member Kim Bell said the project s a real boon to the community, Bell wanted the Citys children to feel a part of the project. When the new sand for the equipment was delivered to the park, she gathered a group of about IS kids from the community to help shovel the sand under the equipment. Bell was part of a citizens group that approached the City Council about the need for updated playground equipment and feels citizen input played a large role in the renovation proShe said the Team is very excited about the new equip- ject ment and feels especially pleased that the equipment meets ADA requirements, We feel reatly good about it It feels like Christmas, Bell said, and that future costs would escalate. This has proven to be true and can be seen in the present day cost. In his efforts to represent the people of Bountiful, he visits neighborhoods that will be affected by proposed changes brought before the council. He pointed out that he has never spent taxpayers money to attend out of state conventions. Councilman Shafter said he felt the proposed cost of $ 4 per ton for a tipping fee, would not be maintained There are many other areas where that money is better used, he said. He says he feels a deep responsibility to spend taxpayer funds wisely and judiciously for the betterment of the community as a whole. Councilman Shafter has had a lifelong interest in community affairs. He served his country as a Sgt. in The United States Marine Corps, he as been a partner in a small business, and a youth leader in his church for much of his adult life.

I am asking peo- live in a different world from ours. Food is also very different. We have to revise the menu every day for them because they dont eat salad or vegetables. To them that is food for the animals, he said. Their diet is mainly beans, rice, bread and very sweet coffee. Dr. Chen also had to teach them how to use a toilet and faucets. So they wouldnt be burned, a piece of tape was put on each hot water tap so they would be careful. They wonder where the water comes from because in their world they bathe in the rivers. There is no electricity and no pumped water, he pointed out. The trip has also been an adventure for the fathers and sons. As we flew to Utah they would ask, Are we still in the United States? They also see that there are so many things in the same place. Where they come from, their village is just 15 to 20 huts, he said. The fathers are still staying on the ninth floor of the Red Lion when they leave the children in the hospital at night. They are just glued to the windows to see the outside, the lights, the ple to put their visit here on a video so people in their village can see where they were. The people wont believe that all this happened to them and that what they say is true. It is the fathers who are here with their children although in their society the mother is as important or more important than the father in caring for the children. The men go to school while the mothers dont. The fathers can sign their names and they speak some Spanish as well as their native Kuna. For that reason the fathers were asked to travel with the children. Dr. Chen has been working with the Kuna Indians for the past 12 years. He lives with his family in Panama City, Panama but he travels each month to the islands where the Indians live and spends about three weeks with them. Then he returns to Panama City for ten days to rest and to be with his family. There are 365 islands off the coast of Panama but only 52 native communities. Some of these communities are on the islands and others are on remote parts of the mainland. In their Kuna villages they live the way they always have. Dr. Chen speaks Kuna and some of the Kuna speak some Spanish. I concerning his twelve years of elected service to the citizens of Bountiful. He is looking forward to the coming election and invites everyone to vote. Dr. Chen enjoys his work with the Indians. "I like to work with them. he said. When you are a private doctor people pay you. I am paid by the gov- ernment but they really can't pay enough for the service we perform. We really give the service. Operation Smile made contact with me. began sending patients them. They said, They know you and you speak Kuna. So that is why I am here. The entire experience being on the show and being in the hospital is a big change for the boys. Nemesio Escobar who is six had lived hidden away in the mountains until his mother died and he was sent to live with his grandmother. That was the first time that Dr. Chen saw him. Dr. Chen first saw Dorisnel Diaz, three, when he was a newborn but it was not possible to operate on him when the doctors from Operation Smile came because he was suffering from malnutrition. Later he was sent to Panama City for Operation Smile but again was not well enough to be operated on. He has had so many opportunities and they never could operate, Dr. Chen said. Both boys are now doing well and may be leaving for Panama in a week. 1 I Simple Interest Rate Diamonds Watches Gift For All Occasions Jewelry Repairs NOW Watch Repairs Till January 1996 170 South Main, Bountiful (295-202-1) When Was The Last Time Vou Mad A m?
