Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, OCTOBER 12, 1978 By BETSY ISON 1 I had just gone back into my apartment from answering the door, someone looking for my neighbor. I went upstairs for a few minutes when heard sirens and then a terrible crash I ran to my window and looked out, there was a brown car spinning like a top, then it spun into my neighbors parked Blazer forcing it into a van which was parked behind him. It hit with such force that it shoved the Blazer and van into the intersection of 500 West and I South. BEFORE THE car even had time to stop spinning there 1880 were several police cars screeching to a stop, officers were climbing out of their cars with shotguns aimed at the car. I went downstairs and opened the door, an officer yelled to get back inside, I did. As I watched from my win- dow I saw them wrestle something from each side of the car, later I found out that they were guns. There were police cars from all over the area, Highway Patrol, West Bountiful, Woods Cross, and Bountiful. THEN CAME the spectators. The PMTs arrived and time to get parents involved in the PTA again, and hot on their trail for memberships are, from left, Marianne Call, Layton High School membership chair - LAYTON There's a full ganrut of activities set at Layton High School through the end of this week.

In the end, we chose for the fence between ourselves and solid our neighbors a five-fo- A breath of fresh air is blowing through the corridors of Clearfield City politics lately and some of our illustrious councilmen are feeling chilled. The fresh air comes in the form of a mayor who is sincerely interested in John Q. Public. CITIZEN can pick up the phone and call in a complaint or suggestion and expect to be A treated with respect and courtesy. The mayor may not d agree with us but he is open-minde- enough to listen. Without the mayor we would 'still be saddled with a stupid home occupation law, whereas, now we are only saddled with a committee, who in spite of passage of the law, want to put as many stipulations in it that in most cases it is still impossible to comply, making it impossible for some to have home businesses. Mayor Townley tried to get some changes made to better handle the animal control problem, but to no avail It seems it is more offensive to some of our councilmen for some ladies to have beauty shops in their homes than to allow half the dog owners in the city to let their dogs run loose. At least they are more diligent in seeing one law is enforced than the other THE COUNCILMEN know good and well the present dog ordinance has never been enforced as it should or could be, maybe it should be put on the ballot like some other issues have been lately. Until a problem is solved it should be continually brought up as the mayor has tried to do. Sweeping it under the council table doesn't get rid of it. It is our suggestion that a couple of our present council-me- n run for dog catcher next election and that could help solve two problems at one time. IN THE meantime we sug- gest the chilly feeling at council meetings could be improved by those needing sweaters to stay warm, wear them and if possible at our next there might be more fresh air than some could stand. councilman who was worried because people were laughing at them, don't worry as weve been laughing for a long time.

THE POSTS are painted with a wood preservative stain in a dark barn brown, and the boards are stained in moss green. never would have believed that a new fence would have changed the appearance of 1 the yard so much. The property all of a sudden seemed so much larger, for one thing Also, we suddenly felt urgently inspired to lav down new flower beds against the elegant picture frame background The far corner of the property where the fence had to be built around a large, old tree all of a sudden seemed a natural for a tree house for the kids new THIS, OF course, necessitated the moving of the garden shed and a hundred other major structural changes throughout the entire yard Ant to top off the entire effect, I found a fabulous buy on low white plastic fencing to border all the, beds So now, because of a new fence we have ended up witn an almost 'entirely new garden This year we have discovered numerous advantages to having a substantial AROUND the patio area, hanging planters bolted to the fence posts add much to the aesthetic beauty of outdoor living We found bright and splashy plants like begonias, geraniums, marigolds and petunias set off nicely with hanging plants like lobelia and thungbergia. Even herbs like basil and parsley, or small vegetables like Tiny Tim cherry tomatoes and patio pot cucumbers make good subjects for these fence plant containers We June also found the fence bordering the main garden plot to be a marsaver. velous space Trellises, wire, or string supports established against the fence can support any number of flowers and vegetables anything that can be persuaded to grow upwards instead of sprawling over the ground taking masses of space. up great IN A lightly shaded spot against the fence, sweet peas are a natural. Protected against the fiercest summer heat, they will yield their fragrant blooms all season In a sunnier place against the fence, morning glory vines will grow up any type of support to produce a solid bass of greenery and blooms. Scarlet runner beans are another treat to eye and palate that can be grown in sun against a fence, given some support Their bright red flowers and attractive, delicious beans make them a double value in the garden. WE FOUND that whatever we grew against our new fence was made doubly beautiful for the picture frame effect the fence gave to the planting Homs Coolun The latest estimate is that cents of each U S food dollar today is spent for food eaten outside the home That percentage is rising 37 Eiallesige To A challenge is issued to every citizen and organization in Layton and North Davis County, to become involved in the building of the Heritage Museum of Layton. IT DOES not take any effort to sit complacently at home and do nothing for your community. The exciting thing is to become involved and see things happen. Many organizations and people have been contacted concerning the Heritage Museum. If you as an individual. family or organizabeen not have tion approached, we appeal to you now, to become a part of the Heritage Museum. Residents YOU MAY do so by having special project to raise funds, or you may donate directly to the museum Does your heritage or the heritage of your community and country mean anything to you?

I didnt hear the first shot, but saw him fall. I pulled over when I could and reached for my CB, by the time I changed channel to 9 to report someone else had already started to broadcast it. I couldnt help and I had several young boys with me so I left When I got home and everything hit I thought I was HOMECOMING QUEEN going to be sick.

At one point I was afraid that I might accidentally get shot. The officer told me that the two in the car were suspects tn the shooting of a highway patrol officer m Farmington. I watched them tear the doors almost off the car to get the two out. They removed the father, handcuffed, to the student activity card SATURDAY AT 2 p m things began working to free and remove the crash victims. One of the officers came to PTA BOOSTERS Its believable.

Sometime later they removed the thirteen year old son. AFTER THE ambulance departed things quieted down. The photographers, newsmen and reporters had started to leave. The reports needed to be done, and the spectators started to leave. I went outside then." Everyone there could see at least one gun in the custody of one of the officers Things started to settle down, they removed the big spotlights they had used in the rescue. A womans handbag was removed from the car, evidently belonging to the person the car was stolen from. The Granada was totaled beyond belief, the Blazer was pretty smashed up where it had been hit and also where it had been forced into the van, the van was dented in pretty bad in the front. I WENT back into my apartment to await the officer to take my statement. I thought how lucky I was. I had planned on going out in a few minutes, if I had I might have been right in the middle of it all, or, if the Blazer and van hadn't been parked out front would I have had a car in my kitchen window.

Taking a look at the county from north to south, he says the Freeport Center and adjacent property should continue to grow for industry because it already is serving as such a center. "West Layton will obsee development the Smith viously around Management Corp.," he says. Kaysville will see expansion to the west and possibly some to the citys north adjacent to its commercial area. It would probably be of a more sophisticated, business park type. Citing the same for Farmingtons fringe, he notes that growth as already started tn West Centerville. THERE WILL probably be some small areas of piecemeal development in Woods Cross and West Boun- tiful and at the large Beneficial Development Corp.

A lack of utilities is holding up development jn many areas," he says. But industry could move into the area in the relatively near future. And rather than seeing it as heavy manufacturing in nad ture, Mr. King predicts emphasis will be on assembly-type plants and light industries BIT GROWTH will come as community leaders see the advantage to adding industrial developments to tax bases, he says I think those who are really concerned about the future and being able to provide services are looking for some help The best way is to get non homes because homes mean schools and other services while a industry doesn't create that many problems ider instead of a It's a tax user.
