Show 1987 MAY 5, Brian Cray By Hearty cubscouters beautify park areas By ERNIE J. SHANNON What are you thinking? As we celebrate the anniversary of the U.S. Constitution, its heartening to hear readers debate the important issues raised in the Cyclops column. The telephone began ringing soon after a recent column. Were the readers voicing their opinion on nuclear proliferation? The future of the American family? The threatening trade deficit? The states education and budgetary problems? No! The readers were discussing hamburgers. d It began with my column on the Silver Dollar Burgers, 29 n Drive-Ifor in served at Kaysville gnomes Hyers cents. The manager, Craig Hyer, traced the history of the Silver Dollar Burger to a chain called White Castle Burgers, a successful Midwestern and Eastern chain which serves even smaller hamburgers--an- d grosses even larger profits. The first call was from a recent transplant from Columbus, Ohio, the original home of the White Castle Cyclops made me very, very hungry," said Jenny Volz. Ive been in Utah only two months and my main regret about leaving is that I cant order a White Castle burger. In fact, thats one of the first things I looked for when I arrived in Utah. But unfortunately the closest White Castle location is St. Louis. The Cyclops column not only brought back memories. ..It also made my mouth water. A White Castle burger is better than a steak. When I was a child, the burgers only cost seven cents. Now they sell for 29 cents, but theyre still incredibly delicious, the way theyre fried in onions and topped with pickles. Tell your readers that they havent eaten a real hamburger until theyve had a White Castle. One White Castle burger? I asked. Oh no, she said. You only get four bites out of each hamburger. If I went to a White Castle restaurant today, Id order five of them. You mentioned that White Castle was shipping them across the country. Well, my friend offered to buy them by the bag and send some to me. Well pop them in the microwave. ..Boy, what a hamburger. But mention Columbus, Ohio. Thats where the company started, the same place where Wendys and Burger King began. New York shouldnt get any credit for White Castle. End of telephone call But the next day another reader called. "Youve done an injustice, said Pam Stephens. A White Castle burger is so good that it should never be compared to anything else. Utahns dont know what a great hamburger tastes like until they venture east and grab a White Castle. I eat six at a time. In fact, White Castle is my idea of heaven. Or at least a small piece of heaven, I said, referring to the hamburgers size. Bigger is not always better, she said. Your column made me terribly homesick. And a Salt Lake newspaper editor, Mike Carroll, agreed. A White Castle hamburger typifies great American he said. Any other hamburger pales in comparison. On a break, Id pop two or three of them in my mouth. d Gil Craig, the owner of a franchised Mexican chain, doesnt understand all the commotion. We have a store located right across the street from White Castle in Hempstead, N.Y., he said. The sales of that White Castle are unbelieveable. But Ill never understand why people crave them. Theyre hardly a gourmet burger... They re just very small. A reader in Layton is one of those who craves the little pint-size- mini-burge- , r. . . fast-foo- d, Utah-base- Less than a dozen Kaysville cub scouts found themselves alone with two parks to clean Saturday. The nine boys, aided by several friends, collected cans, bottles and other refuse from two parks Saturday morning. It was sponsored by the district, said Danita Caldwell, den mother for Pack 405, sponsored by the Kaysville 20th Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daWe expected many Saints. more people to be there, but we were the only ones there. As it was, y North the boys did a great job and we had a lot of fun." Kaysville city is all too happy for such help. These are good projects for the scouts and it saves the city money, said Vance Garfield, Winds city recreation director. "This way, everyone comes out ahead. Park cleanups similar to this are occurring around the country. Its part of a program called "Save Our American Resources sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America. As a reward for their efforts, the cub scouts received a special patch for their uniforms and recognition at their next meeting, according to By TOM BUSSELBERG Yes, Layton actually is going to get its own library again. Its been about 12 years since the small facility near the comer of Gentile and Main closed its doors pending opening of the North Branch in Clearfield. Mrs. Caldwell. DAVC instructors push for raises approved a motion that area vocational center teachers (including DAVC) be considered uniformly on salary and career ladder issues with public school teachers.

By TOM BUSSELBERG KAYSVILLE Teachers salaries at the Davis Area Vocational Center should continue to enjoy an equalized salary schedule with their public school counter- parts. That was the message to the DAVC board of trustees from Dee Burningham, negotiations representative for the vocational schools teachers association. He also serves as Davis Education Association executive secretary. He said DAVC teachers should receive the same lane and incre- DAVC teachers received a bonus equal to one percent of salary earlier this year and Mr. proposal asks for an additional one percent to make up the difference with public educators. The DAVC board aired the issue in a closed, executive session in their recent meeting. Formal, open action is expected in the May 26 Burn-ingha- ment changes as Davis School District instructors and referred to an unwritten policy that has followed that pattern. Since 1978 the board has used an unwritten policy to keep the DAVC salary schedule for teachers and classified (office, personnel at parity with the school district, Mr. meeting. In other action at the recent board meeting, approval was granted for the DAVC to operate all vocational education programs in the Morgan School District. Morgan District and County are part of the DAVC service area with representation from that county on the board of trustees. Many Morgan students attend classes at the Kaysville campus. In addition, DAVC has operated some programs at Morgan High School. Burningham noted. Although unwritten, the board has reiterated support for the poli- cy each year until the current school year, he explained. At that time, the state board of education said area centers could not negotiate teacher salary schedules. The state body used Utah State Legislature-prepared intent language prohibiting salary increases for state employees, he continued.

I like the four seasons and the friendly atmosphere here but Utah is poorer for not having a White Castle. Thank goodness Crown Burger is buiding a location up here. They come closest to the White Castle taste but even Crown Burger cant compare. And how many White Castle burgers can she eat? Ive eaten nine at one time. But when I went on a diet, I cut back to three. Benjamin Franklin would love to hear the hamburger debate. ..Democracy in action! 8 I I 8i . Since that time, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, as they say. A strong Layton Library group has pushed and tugged for a library, A former mayor and city council voted themselves out of the county library system, stayed away a few years and then returned early last year. I wouldn't blame the city for going its own way for a while. In fact, I kind of relished the idea of another independent library in the county. After all, Layton as the largest city should be able to sustain its own library if it really tried. Well, the tables finally turned at the county level thanks perhaps to economics, tax revenue growth and the passing of time. If you can have your own library and still draw on the larger county system, why not? Yesterday (Monday) architectural plans were unveiled for the new Central Branch Library (Layton library) that will be located at the corner of Hawthorne and Wasatch Drive (Lancer Lane) across from Layton High School. It looks like Douglas Todd from Todd Associates of Bountiful has done more than just draw a few straight lines and make them appear fancy. In fact, it looks to be a very functional, yet attractive library he has in mind for the area. Landscaping has played a vital role too. After all, the library will become an integral portion of the Layton Commons Park area. Holmes Ceek is virtually part of the library parcel as well and is included in the plans, not just noticed. Leonard Grassli of Ogden, no newcomer to good landscaping, has been retained Jerry Meyer hs been working feverishly to make arrangements for the new library. The former North Branch librarian, he wore both hats for about half a year and then took on the Layton library full time last December. Just like moving into a new house, only on a much grander scale, hes been picking out the fixins. Most of those will come in the form of books, not surprisingly. It takes a while to intelligently choose 25,000 books for a starter collection. Eventually the library will house double that number of volumes and will also serve as headquarters for the department. It will also contain the new video cassete collection being formulated for county patrons. The library will be carpeted throughout lending to a more restive, atmosphere. A large skylight will bring in the outside light in all its glory while a meeting room will allow for more use of the facility. Bids should be opened this July and occupation possible by late summer of 1988. The 14,000 square foot library will all be on one level for easy and nearby. access by the public with plenty of parking Excellent cooperation has come from Mayo.r Richard McKenzie, city council and staff, Mr. Meyer notes. I think a library takes time to develop. It has been extremely and the collection will be as good and well- rounded as we can make it, he adds. "It takes years to get the full breadth just as a house takes to get that really lived in, feeling, I would guess. Judging by the number of Layton residents whove rushed to obtain now regular county library cards, it looks like the interest is definitely there. Patrons there will start off with quick computer access to not only their own fledgling collection but also the entire county system. Theyll get the advantages of all the latest advance-ment- s in the library world and the world of information. Undoubltedly, it wont have everything for everybody. But then its not meant to be the Library of Congress. Let's hope it will be agreed by most, though, that it was worth waiting for. Horray for another step forward for Layton and Davis County!
