Mature animals can be traded with other aviaries for new species and for mates. Sometimes it takes as long as three years to find an av iary that has stock to sell or trade. THE KILLING of one swan Sunday morning is only one example of many such cases. This year dogs have killed a black neck swan, two wood ducks, two mute swans, two Muscoi y ducks from Africa, cinnamon teal and one black neck swan valued at $800. Hunters killed a pair of wood ducks. They w'anted to stuff them for trophies. I he birds are very vulnerable. All aie pinnoned so they cannot fly All aie so tame that they come to the lence to be fed. Many will answer to names they have been given by park employees and people who frequent the aviary. . i 1 v PAIR of Mute Swans ate alued at SI 1(H). The owner of the dog will be required to pay restitution based on the value of the swan. Complete restitution on the loss Some roam freely. Others have broken away from the owners.

Highlight of the talent assembly was the crowning of a new Miss Cellaneous. dmg ty THE LAYTON Commons Aviary has been built by city park employees. All birds have been purchased through money donated by park employees and citizens for this purpose. Not one cent of taxpayer money has been spent acquiring the extremely expensive-birdfor the aviary. It is a project built on city employees willingness to give of themselves. It is a generous gift from park employees to the citizens. The dogs who have killed birds over the past four years are not stray animals. They are pets who are allowed to walk in the park.

HILL AFB - Air Force investigators have released conclusions of a study of an industrial accident which killed a civilian worker last September. DURING A press conference Tuesday afternoon, it was revealed that Burnell C. Parkinson, 52, of Wellsville, died when the torch he was using to weld a pump onto a sulfuric acid in the tank to explode. Base storage tank caused hydrogen gas officials stated the hydrogen gas was the byproduct of a reaction between some acid in the tank and the steel interior of the tank. Base spokesman Len Berry said Hill AFB has issued a Safe Alert notification of the accident as part of the Government will be made Industry Data Exchange Program.

Signs are posted advising owners of this fact. Legal penalities are severe. The 0 0A dog is impounded. The owner must pay for replacement of the killed bird. In the case of the Mute Swan killed last Sunday this amount was S365. From now on. the dog owner w ill also have to pay for the cost of shipping and sending a city employee to pick up a new bird if and when one is available. LEGAL penalities are not as severe as the penalties the general public has to pay for these thought- less acts. According to James Woodward. Paik Director, if the killing of birds by dogs continues, the birds will be removed. It is not humane to pinnon a bird so that it has no defense and then allow a dog to kill it, Mr. Woodward states. The only other alternative is to cage the birds so there is no contact between the birds and the people. This would defeat the whole purpose of the park and the aviary, Mr. Woodward believes. Public support and pet owner support is needed if the Layton Commons Aviary is to continue to operate. SOMETHING that started in 1981 by a donation from James' Woodward and local merchants to buy one pair of swans has grown Making melodies pleasing to the ear are the Central Davis Junior High School Singers.

RICHARD Mayfield the Davis County Planning Director told the board members that the County Master Plan has never been adopted as the official county plan, therefore, the discussion might lead to a direction fo'r future county policies. Since the Master Plan was completed, laws have changed and cities have been able to annex much county land. Also, no Master Planning has been done in several years. A presentation w as set up to present the problem to the board from the planners standpoint and from the landowners standpoint in an attempt to discover what the real issues are and if agricultural lands be preserved through zoning. - , t WILF SUMMERKORN.was assigned to present the position of orderly planned growth from a planners viewpoint". He point out that the characteristics that make land desirable for agriculture are the same characteristics that make it good for urban use. About a half million acres are converted from farmlands to urban use annually in the United States. In Davis County there is about a four percent annual decrease in agricultural lands. Summerkorn also said that urban sprawl is costly to the taxpayers. Subdivisions scattered between parcels of farm land cost more for sewer, water and storm drains. More roadway per residence must be maintained and police and fire protection was more .expensive. All the taxpayers in the county pay higher taxes to subsidize those services in the unincorporated areas of the county. taxpayer in the county more, the county could justify restricting the rezoning of agricultural property for residential purposes. A more cost effective plan of growth would be a slow even growth from the edge of the cities to the west instead of the patches or urbanization that are now occurring, Barry Burton, one of the planners was assigned to present the opposite side of the question. He pointed out that the board must consider the welfare of the farmer who might need to be able to sell part of his property just tq afford to continue farming. BURTON SAID that protecting agriculture in Davis County might already be a lost cause. The majority of the farmers in the county have less than 50 acres. The majority of the farmers are--' e farmers and thp number of farmers is steadily already , decreasing. part-tim- Much of the agricultural property is now the farmers retirement fund. According to information he obtained from an appraiser farm land must sell for less than $1,000 per acre to be profitable to farm. Generally in Davis County land sells for $800 to $1,200 per acre. Land is sold for development, not for farming. , SOMETIMES the farmer wants to sell ofT land for retirement. Other farmers would like to divide ofTlots for their children. The planning commission also has a moral responsibility to consider these peoples rights. After discussing both sides of the question with the planning board, the planning director said that the planning staff will do research into current laws on this subject A January date will be set up for comment from farmers and other land owners affected by the problem. The planning commission will also put together an information sheet. , a i A ' i 1 |
