One additional proposal was presented by parents from the South Bountiful Elementary School, seeking a name change. st A PRESENTATION stressing the need for a new elementary school in the Kays-vill- e area, supported by population projections, resulted in School Board President Lucile Reading complimenting the group on their presentation, but did not give patrons any firm commitment that the school district would construct a school in that area. Three parents from Burton Elementary School in Kaysville, PTA President Shan-n- a Page and Lynn and Robert Templeton were told that the school administration would meet with the group in the future to further discuss the problem. ACCORDING TO the presentation, the Burton School, which is built for 750 students, now houses a total of 876, with the result that one class is being held on the stage and the library has been moved to a small work room. Mrs. Page said the presence of the class on the stage is not only inconvenient for the teacher and the students involved, but curtails the physical education activities for other children in the school. Superintendent Bernell Wrigley said the problem is not unique to the area. He stated that the policy of the district is to look at problems over a long period of time to see if population patterns are stable before making a decision to build a new school. He said building plans are not made until the school district is assured that 10 to 15 additional rooms are necessary to house the additional students. g ITS rlY Nicole and Nate Eldridge look over the toys for sale in the upstairs bedroom of the Cottage House Gift Store.

The Kaysville patrons argued that planning for additional schools could be projected based on the statistics from the Davis County Planning Office. This plan projects the number of homes planned in the Kaysville area for the next year at 497. BASED By ROSELYN KIRK When Sheila Raitt decided to go into the gift and antique business, she did it in a big way. First she leased and remodeled an old house, with the help of her family. Then she bought a ghost town full of collectibles everything from an old barber chair to a steam boiler. She is working to see how these collectibles can be worked into the decor of her shop, adding to the handmade gifts, uniques and antiques, that are stockat theCottageGift Shop in Layton in SHEILA HAD always liked remodeling houses. She had done a lot of that since she moved a lot with her five children and her husband Bill, a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force. When the Raitts were transferred to Hill Air Force Base and settled in their house in Fruit Heights, Sheila looked around for something to do. I had no experience in business, but my husband let me do this. We took it on as a family project. I needed to do something since I knew Id be bored at home I had passed the old house, located on Highway 89, many times and thought it was SHEILA SAID the house was then vacant and had been vacant for several years. But she found out who owned the house and asked fora lease. bothered the owner for three months from January to April Finally he gave in and said could have a long-terlease. Apparently the old house, built by the Wall family in 1899, was used as a halfway house for people coming to the Salt Lake Valley from Morgan in former times 1 1 "They would stop by and water their horses and get something to eat. If Id known the history of the house then, I might have named it the Halfway Gift House, but I didnt and gave it the name oecause it reminded me of a cottage." AFTER THE lease was signed, Sheila and the family worked through the sum mer to remodel the house in order to have it ready for an October opening date. The staircase which leads to the childrens gift shop upstairs, was enclosed They opened up the stair case Asa family project, they tore the wall covers, boards and paint, off one of the central walls on the main floor and exposed the brick wall. In the upstairs bedrixim, they kmxkedout the ceilings and left the gables exposed This was followed by wallpapering and painting All of the children ranging in age from 15 to 21 the project In October the gift with helped shop opened Sheila admits that at the time the project was a little more than shed bargained for "One time I brought a friend in to see it when we were in the remodeling process and she thought Id gone funny " ONE OF the later construction projects was the white picket fence "There was an old wire fence around the house, but I knew I had to have a picket fence. A miracle happened. found 100 feet of fence on sale for $50 We scraped and painted, but I had my fence 1 the rooms are furnished in antiques, many of which are also for sale Someof the antiques are useful, such as the wood and coal burning stove which heats the downstairs The heat rises to warm the All of COLONEL Foster and his wife, Deedy, have four children. upstairs bedrooms where the childrens gifts are located BUT SHEILA was worried that her stock of antiques wasnt sufficient so then she heard about a town full of collectible items from an old coal mining ghost town in Wyoming A 70 year old woman had a museum in the town, Superior. Wyoming. When the town closed dow n by degrees, the woman collected everything and established a museum Sheila said the woman put up the whole lot for sale. She wouldn't sell only part of the collection, which included such items as slot machines, juke boxes, horse harnesses. mining tools and an old permanent-wave machine, a steam boiler and an y machine. "We went to Wyoming and walked through the collection.

'What have done'v " cattle truck to bring many here from Wyoming, but many are still there Already some of the items have been worked into the decor. A spittoon became the base for a flower arrangement and a barber's chair and a 1902 galvanized bathtub became display items in one room of the shop. It's really a gift shop The antiques are for atmosphere, however most are for sale, Sheila said. Fach rcxim in the household is a central display location. The relics of yesteryear display rcxim are made up of the products trom the Wyoming mining town. "It will be a real challenge " 1TTOOK a big of the old pieces A these statistics, Mrs. Templeton predicted that 937 children could be anticipated to enter the Burton School area during the next two years. While school officials protested that this type of statistic is not reliable because it is impossible to project how many children will result from each household, the representatives presented two pages of estimates that said 17 more classrooms would be needed by September 1977 in the Kaysville and Burton Elementary School areas. Mr. Templeton said the use of sta- - aim F-- ONE OF THE COLLECTIBLES ON tistics from planning sources would help school officials in planning schools. Based on figures released from the Utah State Board of Education for determining school capacity, the group said that Burton School has 243 more students than their capacity while Kaysville Elementary is 220 students over. They predicted that if there were no growth, the Burton Elementary School would still be at least three classrooms short next year. MRS. READING told the group that the board has considered several alternatives, such as mobile units and split sessions, but no firm decisions dealing with problems have been made. The group presented the school administrators with a set of questions, which board member, Sheryl Allen requested that administrators answer when meeting in a session with the parents. In another matter, parents from the Bountiful Community School program, led by spokesman Robert Little, met for a second time with the school board to renew their position that additional facilities be provided for the gymnastic program at the Bountiful High Comg munity School. PARENTS ASKED that cement flooring, estimating to cost between $6,000 and $6,500, be poured to accommodate the 210 gymnasts when the gymnastics program conflicts with the Bountiful High wrestling program. On a motion from Sheryl Allen, the board voted to take the matter under study. If planning indicates that cement construction is the best way to go, the administration is to consider pouring the floor as soon as possible. Both Assistant Superintendent John S. White and Assistant Superintendent Gayle Stevenson said they did not recommend the cement construction at the present time. ANOTHER PARENTAL request from J.A. Taylor School was presented by Anne Zeigler, of Centerville, who asked that another fifth-sixt- h grade class be set up in the additional room available at the school. Assistant Superintendent Welling said the school was waiting to see whether an additional third grade class would be needed at that school. He said the administration would not place any students there until the board recommended the administration do so. Petitioning for the fourth parental group was Janet Garff, representing South Bountiful Elementary School. Mrs. Garff asked that the name of that school be changed to Woods Cross Elementary School. SHE SAID a survey of parents in the area attending Back to School night indicated that 85 percent of those parents were in favor of changing the name. The board suggested that the PTA take a telephone poll and sent notes home with children to determine if the name change would meet the approval of all the school patrons. The administration will also check on administrative problems in changing the name of the school and will talk again with the petitioners when both groups have investigated further.

"The house was like a beautiful woman without makeup." She says her favorite window in the house is in the upstairs bedrexim. She painted the window framing a bright green and made dotted swiss curtains. "I understand when the Walton family lived in the house, their children liked to look out of the window and count the cars. There werent many cars in those days. The plan was to bulldoze down the house, but I saved it, at least for awhile " SHEILA SAYS one of the best parts about running the gift shop is the people she meets. One day she was busy with some customers when a man who was looking around the store, stepped up to the coal stove and slipped a piece of coal on the fire. He explained to Sheila that he was afraid the fire would go out and he wanted to help. Sheila says that Christmas is one of the best times at the gift house because it s then that she gets to decorate her Christmas with tree Last year the tree1 was crocheted balls and snowflakes This year Sheila will have a different tree. looking fora new idea, but don't know w hat Ill do yet.
