FO Bex 1327 Salt district t Tw discauBtf sto ir! school J signup Aug. 30 iC, pmil lrair School days again are figuratively just around the corner and Box Elder district this week announced details for registration of elementary students. Signup will be conducted in all grade schools of the district except Lake View in Brigham City on Aug. 30. Schools in the south end of the county will register between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12 noon and those in the north end, between 8 and 10:30 a.m. It seems that Brigham City has something of a horse race on its hands where proposed construction of a discount de- partment store here is concerned. The city planning commission heard Tuesday night that two department chains Grand Central and Kmart want to come to this northern Utah community. As a practical matter, it was assumed that if one is established in a store here or is given the inside track for construction, the other would decline to come. Brigham City is not considered large enough to support two such operations. The history leading up to Tuesday nights confrontation is this: Earlier this summer, representatives of Salt Lake City builder S. M. Horman sought to lay the groundwork for a Kmart store on south Main property located between Fishburn drive and 990 South. But it was Boyer-GardnProperties Partnership, Salt Lake City, that obtained options on the 6.12 acres. And through the firms efforts, the property was rezoned for commercial use. At the time, the Salt Lake firm didnt have a tenant for store it proposed to build. Since then, however, Grand Central has expressed a desire to establish itself here, solicited by However, explained company spokesman Dan Gardner, the chain store said the outh Main location wa3 too small. ' ' turned efforts to locating Lake Views registration will be held Friday, Aug. 26, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon. C. Morgan Hawkes, administrator of curriculum and instruction, states that lunch money, kindergarten milk and cracker money and student insurance, if insurance is desired, may be paid at registration time. Elementary school meals for 45 cents y ticket and the each or $9 for a kindergarten fee for milk and crackers is $1 per month or $9 per year, Hawkes stated. It is not necessary for children to attend, although they are welcome. Registration will be for all grades including kindergarten. Kindergarten parents are reminded that they must have proof of immunizations, which can be obtained either through the family doctor or the county nurse. 1977-7- 8 Boyer-Gardne- school year will begin on Wednesday, Aug. 31, in Box Elder district. . .

And property has been acquired bordering the Eleventh South west of US 89. access road to On Aug. 2 Gardner presented a preliminary plan to the planning commission proposing construction not only of a store for Grand Central but adjacent space for a grocery store and smaller shops. This was billed as Phase I, occupying 9.6 acres, and was accompanied by a written commitment from Grand Central. Tuesday night, Gardner presented the planning body with a letter from Bert L. Taylor, district engeer for the Utah Department of Transportation, indicating that access at five locations has been approved on the Eleventh South expressways south side. r proposes to use three of these in its development. Gardner explained that an additional seven acres, designated as Phase II, will be developed with additional shops and tenants as the growth of Brigham City allows. Gardner announced also that his firm has relinquished its option to purcahse the south Main property first considered. Thats when David Mathis and Marlon Berrett, both of Salt Lake City, advised the commission that Horman is ready to build a store on the south main site for Kmart. a Boyer-Gardne- Weve had verbal feedback from Kmart that they desired to be in Brigham City, Mathis stated. some people a mountaintop to an exexperience citing or uplifting moment, but for Walter G. Jaggi of Brigham City it was a literal experience as he stood on the top of 14,000-foo- t Grand Teton. Anyone familiar with mountaineering knows that isnt the normal tourist stunt, for it requires a lot of hard work coupled with roped belaying techniques to reach the top and rappelling to get back down (which is the other important half of climbing mountains.) Many younger men have had to give up reaching the top, but years didnt deter Walt Jaggi from his mountaintop goal. just refers 60-pl- He was accompanied by his son Ralph and sons friend Jerry Jack-son- , both of Vernal, in making the two-da- y assault on the peak July 27 and 28. The idea began last fall as he went elk hunting with Ralph, walking many miles without tiring. Ralph then expressed the idea that he thought his dad ought to try the climb to the top of Grand Teton. And the idea stuck. First the three attended the climbing school at Jennys lake, although the younger two men had more experience with climbing. However, Jaggi notes that he was the grand daddy of all the students enrolled in the climbing course. The climb included spending the first night sleeping in a cave on the first saddle of the mountain, snug inside while a hailstorm raged outside in the high altitude climate. Was it worth the climb? Just the grandeur of the view from- the mountaintop provided an uplifting as the mountaintop experience patchwork of Idaho farms, the blue of Yellowstone lake, and the tiny dot of Jackson lake could all be seen from one magnificent vantage point. And the different life of the high beautiful alpine wildflo-wer- s altitude never seen in lower climes, (Continued on Page 3) to As to a request from Boyer-Gardnrezone the Eleventh South property in its entirety for commercial use, Mathis said' it would be unjust to Kmart and the city to consider rezoning a different site since property has already been zoned for this purpose. He charged that accepting the Eleventh South location would have a detrimental effect on the downtown area. But Gardner shot back that he had attempted on three occasions to buy the south Main' property from owner Jim Cutrubus but without success. That was before a tenant had been obtained. Gardner declared also that he had contacted Kmart and was advised by its representative that as long as Brigham City did not have its own daily newspaper, they were not interested in coming here. That, he said, was when Grand Central looked at the property decided it was too small and efforts were directed at obtaining the alternate site. He said Mathis and Berrett were in business with Cutrubus and so have an interest in development of the south Main property. Its true that Cutrubus owes us some money. Our interest is in bringing Kmart together with Mr. Cutrubus, Mathis responded. Commission Chairman Jim Simper said the planning body has only responded to (Continued on Page 3) President Tanner will speak Stake to climax centennial with varied activities The LDS Brigham City, Utah Box Elder stake centennial observance will come to a climax this week with President N.
