BY JAN HOPKINS Clipper Staff Wi Her - CENTERVILLE A power retail center with a big box and pad sites is proposed for development within Centerville, according to Community Development Director Anc Jensen. Some of the preliminary paperwork, however, was incomplete, he said, and had to be returned to the developer, Powell Development of Kirkland, Wash. The retail center would be located north and east of the Super Target in the Centerville Marketplace. The development would encompass approximately The animals FRUIT HEIGHTS come from all tvpes of pet owners, relinquished to the care of the Davis County Animal Shelter, hoping someone will adopt and care for them. Animals come by wuy of nuisance calls of stray animals, from drug busts, or injured by a larger animal or vehicle and in dire need of medical care Some come from homes where owners, for whatever reason, can no longer care for them. One elderly man couldn't keep up with the antics of his coon dog. He didn't want to let the animal go, but he wasn't strong enough to walk it anymore. The energetic dog had pulled him down several times in the last few days, creating several deep bruises and dragging its owner. If the separation seems hard on the pet owners letting go. it can be just as hard on the officers and staff at the shelter. Imagine repeating the letting go process twice in one day or mavbe 10 times. That's exactly what staffers must do, when the animals that arrive at the shelter have not found a home, and must be euthanized to make room for the never-endin- g stream of animals 16 acres. Because the proposal submitted was not in full form, Jensen said he could not provide any further information. That included potential occupants of the big box or other sites within the project. In the recent past, reports that t, Costco or both Super were looking for possible locations in South Davis have been widespread. Centerville and a proposed RDA area in West Bountiful have been discussed as possible sites. Powell Development, meanwhile, has not returned repeated phone calls from the Clipper Wal-Mar- arriving. It's interesting how they attach themselves to you, said Ann Workman, a staff member at the shelter. Stories ' abound of staffers who fell in love, rescuing as many animals as they could legally own. Each animal that comes to the shelter is treated with that same kind tenderness ofcaie calm, nentle. The shelter employs 13 statf mem- bers and 10 officers: heroes who work each day in behalf of the county's ani- - a Bank robbery nets undisclosed amount - Police were conLAYTON tinuing their investigation into a Saturday morning bank robbery, where a handgun was brandished.

Bob Ballew, public information officer with the Davis County Department of I lealth. said the flu may have already hit Davis County, but if anyone has had it, they didn't go to their doctor because there have been no laboratory-confirme- d cases here Flu has been reported in Salt Lake, Summit, Wasatch and Utah counties Symptoms include the abrupt onset of fever, muscle aches and pains, cough and sore throat.
