Show 4 Saturday, February Lakeside Review Forum 3. 1996 ILifefe STREET TALK ... B What residents of Davis County think about the issues How are you handling that record snowfall? A change in the weather from unseasonably warm for January to snow storm after snow storm over the past few weeks has meant a lot of digging out or hibernating for many people. In informal interviews, the Lakeside Review asked some area residents what they have been doing to cope with the record snowfall. Stephanie Povey Kaysville I do a lot of jogging on my treadmill and a lot of shoveling walks. The grass was brown when we went off track, now were under about 20 inches (of snow.) We do a lot with our kids and I play on an indoor soccer league. We had a video marathon one night and watched video after video. We watched Secret Garden and Little Women, just oo S oOocO ooo O ' o a bunch of classics. We play a lot of games and clean the house. We have had friends over. Wc went sleigh riding, had friends over, built a snow cave. We had those piles of snow where we shoveled so we built a big snow cave and had breakfast out in there one morning. We try to get out as much as we can. Its fun. -- '0-"o 6Offl OrZp0? op,o 0 .nlilenl ApcMJS? d 0 Q o Barry Wood Huntsville Im digging out on a daily basis. Weve got about 3 12 feet at my house. I had a snow drift in my driveway yesterday morning that was well over 5 feet When it snows, you shovel what else can you do? So many people, when I look back east, they would shut down. Here is Utah we are equipped for it and we have to deal with .Basically it takes three or four hours a night to shovel out everything I have to shovel out. I have a snow plow on my truck and it still takes that long to do it. I go around and help my neighbors, the ones who dont have snow blowers or access to plows. When the county comes and plows the roads there is only one way they can do it They push it over to the sides and the driveways happen to be where they push it and so I try to help as many of the neighbors I can. What else can you do but deal with it? I went out and bought me a pair of snowshoes, because there is s,o much snow that I can't ride my horse up there. We are going to snowshoe into where we varmint-hucoyotes, bobcats, raccoons. We have a lot of coyotes up where we live because we have a lot of wild turkeys. The coyotes are beginning to pack like wolves because so much of their range has been taken away by humans. You have to have a license and a fur bearer's license. I snow ski. How can you live around three resorts and not snow ski? Im 20 minutes from any of the resorts. o0 uo o-P- O it nt Chuck Johnson LETTERS Cubs off to good start for third term at CDJH Last week started off the third term for the CDJH Cubs. Along with the starting of third term comes girls basketball season. The team has just started their games and they are doing a great job. Solo and ensemble competition is also going on for those students enrolled in advanced choir or Central Singers. The ALM class held their first academic league at home against North Layton this week. This is the first time Central has ever participated in these games and our team was not as experienced as the Longhorns but still did an awesome job! Third term has started out great for the Cubs. We hope it keeps going that way. Shelly Tanner Central Davis Junior High publicist Junior high grateful for food-driv- e help Before the recent holidays. North Davis Norsemen were excited. The excitement wasn't because of the idea of receiving; the thoughts were about helping those who need help. With that notion. North Davis Junior High and Utah Food Bank teamed up to help out Utah. Teachers would give extra credit for' those who brought canned goods. Classrooms would compete with other classrooms to see who could raise the most The boxes would get so full that Letters policy The Lakeside Review , encourages readers to submit letters y to the editor.

' the student government had to round up the cans from classes each day. The canned goods were stacked in the background of the Norsemen televised announcements. Every day the students could see the progress as the cans stacked up. The goal of the Norsemen was to cover the whole background of the morning announcements. Before the cans could be stacked, the deadline was at hand. The cans were boxed and picked up by Utah Food Bank. The total amount of food donated to the program was in the ball park of $2,000. North Davis also helped a family get into better living facilities. With the help of many businesses, people and their own personal money, this family is now living happier than before. At this time I would like to thank all those that donated food, money, and time to help North Davis reach their goal. I wish that I and all those that donated could sec the expression on a needy familys face when the food comes to their door. That is what the true meaning of Christmas is all about, helping the needy, and to see their reaction. Thank you, everybody!!

Weve had a lot of snow. We have a condo so they shovel for us. We do skiing and snowmobiling. It has been fun for me. I enjoy the snow. Ive been snowmobiling and basically out working. I like the snow." Ron Ramsey Syracuse I dont like driving in it I wouldn't mind if it would stay up in the mountains. I know we need it for the water. To cope with it I drive slower and keep further behind people so if I have to hit my brakes I dont run into them and I hope other people would do the same. We have quite a bit of snow in Syracuse. I think they had more in Salt Lake, but we have quite a bit I have to shovel some, but not a lot I live on a farm and we use a tractor to plow out our driveway with so that helps. Sidewalks I have to shovel, but the driveway I just plow out I don't down hill ski, I cross country ski, but I haven't this year. i I dont snowmobile."

The kids like to play out in the snow. As far as doing anything else, I dont do a lot with it. The city has taken care of it pretty well up our street Im in kind of a predicament right now. I just got RIFed from Hill so Im looking fora job. Ive been at home answering ads and filling out stroy liberty by going beyond the legitimate scope of government 479-444- . The snow! Im so glad to see it! I love the change. Thats why I moved to Utah, for the seasons. I'm so glad we finally got some snow. I just wish Christmas was here now. Coping with it just let it ice over and play on it We go over to Kaysville park and slide down the hill, Ponds Park by the freeway. There is a big hill, the kids love it Ive made lots of hot chocolate and made homemade bread and watched some movies. We watched some theatrical type movies, Much Ado About Nothing, The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain. What else do I do? Take a hot bath by candlelight its relaxing. The fireplace doesnt work or wed have a fire too. We barbecued last night and got strange looks because we were barbecuing in the snow. That was fun. We filled spray bottles full of water and food coloring and went put and sprayed the snow with the spray bottle. It was so pretty, we had blue, pink and green. It was very artistic. That was fun. We did some creative things. There is a lot of things you can do with snow. We melted an icicle so I could show the kids there is a lot of dirt in the snow so they wouldnt eat it We did experiments in the snow. I teach school so we have had a ball at school. We bring the snow into the classroom and made snowmen and let them see it melt. We painted pictures with the water on tissue paper on top of another paper and it makes colors.. You take the tissue paper off before it dries. 479-493- ; k 3 |
