Show NOVEMBER 3, 1987 Farm, photographer finds natures beauty TCycBtonns By Brian Cray The morning mail often brings interesting tidbits which rarely see print in this column. My husband has a phenomenal worm collection. How about a story? We just moved to Utah, but my daughter was the most talented tap dancer in Buffalo Meal, North Dakota. in the column. He gambled away my Blast my child support last month by betting on the Green Bay Packers. 1 am dating a man who has been married 14 times. Wouldnt that be interesting to your readers? The answer is No. Worms are dreadfully boring, a hampster should have can be a celebrity in North Dakota, the his instead on the and Redskins money gambled Washington any man who has been married 14 times deserves rest, not publicity. But last week the mail included a copy of a computer message, one that Ill share with the readers. The computer in question is a timely little devil operated by the Davis County School District. The official name is Davis School Electronic Message Display, but anyone on career ladder simply calls it a snappy for short. Hooked up at the district office and the schools, one would presume would be used for the quick delivery of serious messages regarding policy, inventory, time changes, etc. But so much for assumptions. On Oct. 19 the following message of dire importance came system: flashing onto the "The Layton Stake will be putting on The Music Man Oct. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Starring Mr. Jim Layton, formerly principal of North Layton Junior High, as Mayor Shinn. Tickets are $1. Hope to see you there... Anyone in the District Office wishing to purchase tickets may do so by seeing me in the purchasing department. They will, of course, sell tickets at the door, but it is better to get them ahead of time. (End of Message) I dont know if a line began forming at the impromptu ticket office in the purchasing department. But I do know that several hours later a Bountiful-are- a keyboard principal sat at the and banged out a witty response. It read: Jim Layton is an extremely nice and talented person. However, do we want to promote, advertise and sell tickets to LDS Stake and Ward productions across Davis County? Across the state? Seems we might be opening a can of.. .Oh, well.. .If we are going to do this, then I know an obscure sect which is raising money to move their operations to a small southern hemisphere country. Our staff will be willing to help. Details later on the (End of Message) There were, however, no further details. The man had made his point. I made this point clear to my friend, the Rev. Feelgood, pastor of the Church of Jayne Mansfield which holds weekly inspirational services in the telephone booth. I would love to utilize the school district computer for my congregations events. he said. Actually, The Music Man is for my group, but maybe we can advertise the a little church bingo game and our gala poker tournament on I pay taxes, too, so I assume we could gain access to the free advertising. But bingo and poker are not educational in nature, I said. More educational than The Music Man. Ive heard 76 Trombones ever since I was a kid and the song always sounds the same. At least a poker hand changes every five minutes... You dont think I should call the school district and ask for equal time? No. After the Bountiful principals response, I dont think will ever again become an electronic billboard for church functions. But what if the computer continues to flash information on church functions? Then, it will be back to The Music Man, I said. There could indeed he trouble in River City. 22-2- 3. il.

Howard Stahl Tom Manager While most FARMINGTON in are slumber, a steep people Farmington man may be romping the hills and canyons in search of that elusive photograph. Ron Kusina doesn't seem to mind getting up two hours before sunrise, driving up into the mountains, searching for a site, setting up his equipment and then waiting somewhat like the deer hunters of late. A good photo is 50 percent preparation and 50 percent bold-face- d luck, the long-tim- e amateur photographer says. A sunset is not always everything you think its going to be. Ive probably been up in those mountains a dozen times and two times gotten the sunset I wanted. Sunsets will form a part of his display that opens Nov. 1 in the Davis County Courthouse. Eight prints will comprise the show Images of Autumn Farmington Canyon and the Great Salt Lake. "My ultimate favorite type of photography is landscape. I like to capture moments of the natural environment that look particularly interesting, he says. Something happens when I put a camera in my hands. Its a very positive, relaxing interaction with myself. I forget my problems. All of the shots were taken with 35 mm cameras using Kodachrome and Fujichrome at low speeds and using a tripod with virtually everything. By using longer exposures o seconds for a tree or eight-1- 2 seconds on a sunset, hes able to extend the zone of focus.

Every detail doesnt have to be illuminated. He spends a lot of time shooting the sunset an hour before it goes hour after its down to officially down. Hes taken an exposure of the Salt Lake City skyline just before sunset to accent the natural lights, shot over that negative a half hour or so later to highlight the city one-ha- lf one-tw- lights.

Aaron Richards, a Farmington resident, has been named as chairman of the Davis Region Advisory Council that includes citizen representatives from both Morgan and Davis counties. Both areas are served by the school. Mr. Richards had held that position but resigned early this year due to concerns over proposed governance policies at area vocational centers. We need to get the council organized and functioning again, said Dee Forbes, DAVC board president, in making the recommendation. The board unanimously approved his reappointment with Mr. Forbes indicating state action is expected soon that would allow for Mr. Richards reappointment to the DAVC board of trustees. long-tim- ur seminar starts Nov. 9 and runs through Dec. 18. daily, in a variety of fields will visit with class members Specialists career development, assertive on topics including: communication, life management and resource management.

A kitchen staff of 15 works steadily and efficiently from 6:30 a.m. until 1 in the afternoon. There isnt a pan in the kitchen that isnt used on a daily basis, along with eight restaurant size ovens. The and ovens are not one of the ovens is thoroughly cleaned every day with SOS pads and a lot of elbow grease. Central has one meat sheer that is in constant use slicing up to three types of meat in a day, plus tomatoes and cheese. The mixers are used just as often for whipping potatoes, making ketchup and sauces, frosting and a host of other items. How do they keep these job responsibilities in order and running smoothly? A chart is posted with job descriptions, not only for the current days work, but also for what needs to be done up to four days in advance. Ediths organiza- self-cleanin-g, tional skills are as exemplary as her cooking skills. Lunch is ready to be served by 10 a.m., considering the incredible job of serving over 900 meals in such a short period of time, what Edith and her staff accomplish is nothing short of remarkable. The students favorites at Central are French dip sandwiches, pizza, chicken nuggets and tacos, a parallel to what they can buy at fast food chains. According to Edith this is a fast food generation. If you want students to eat at school, you have to serve what they like to eat. By the end of the day when its time to go home, the kitchen sparkles. It is immaculately clean. Edith feels that no one would go into a dirty restaurant, and a school kitchen needs to be treated the same way. The customers deserve the same consideration. It is projected that next year the number of students attending Central Davis will be even greater, and Edith will be there seeing to getting them fed. Its easy to sit idly by and complain or Just do nothing at all. 544-913- 3 TOM BUSSELBERG havent always had the warmest of feelings for the Utah Patrol. Highway But then who does, right? That has all changed at least until I get my next ticket. I was driving between Kaysville and Farmington about dusk, last Wednesday night. Something seemed to be wrong with a tire it just didnt feel as smooth as usual. Of course, it did eventually go flat as I was cruising along Interstate 15, but at least it wasnt a blowout and I had no problems getting off onto the shoulder. Immediately, who should pull in behind me but a Utah Highway Patrol trooper. What in the world had I done wrong? I thought Id remembered to signal from the center lane to the right and then over to the shoulder! As it turned out, a trooper who would only identify herself as Betty stopped to offer assistance. She stayed through the whole blessed affair, offering not only her much more powerful flashlight to better see the lug nuts with, but also pitched in to get my wonderful jack to work right. She couldve not bothered at all, especially since I didnt cause a wreck getting off to the side. Or she couldve offered some comforting words and sped on her way. No, she stayed on. I think even two me couldve handled everything okay, but thats not the point. It really is great to know that when the UHP has time, its troopers will help a motorist in distress. Even with all of the financial cutbacks, its heartening to see such service. Now that the speed limits been raised to 65 at least in some areas maybe I wouldnt have as much reason to have an encounter with the UHP. This was a pleasant encounter and I take my hat off in thanks to Betty and all of the Davis County UHP crew!
