Pessimistic people felt the clos- Fort Lane Shopping Center would mean the end of the other businesses. Without an "anchor the ing of the Safeway store in the shops would drift without custom- ers. This just didnt happen. Layton Drug, one of the original tennants has a thriving business. Kings, a variety store and member of a chain, is number one in sales in the three state chain. Kings is another original tennant. The Ink Spot moved into the shopping center shortly after it opened. This year, the Ink Spot expanded to include an area for office furniture. re The newer Shopping Center tennants like Petland and Video Village are viable businesses. Vacant spots will soon be leased, Mr. Willey feels. There are negociations for a large new store on the north end of the Shopping Center. When the shopping center opened over 20 years ago, Safeway took out a long term lease with options to renew. The company elected to renew their lease even though the large store was not being used. This conflict led to court action and last July, the Fort Lane Associates prevailed and the Safeway lease ended. Now, Mr. Willey is working closely with some business people who hope to use this large store for a home im20-ye- ar provement center. If the deal works out, the Fort Lane Shopping Center will once again have an anchor tennant. If not, success if often measured by service, customer relations, community pride and commitment to tennants and customers. The Fort Lane Shopping Center has survived since 1964. Fort Lane Associates are determined to have their business enterprise succeed, expand and serve citizens of Layton and Kaysville for many more years. it doesnt surprise BHS principal Don Perkins.

School offer redticedprice meals The Davis School District today announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch, and-o- r School Breakfast programs. Each school and the office of the Davis School District has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. The attached household size and income criteria will be used for determining eligiblity. Children from families whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals. Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households should fill out the application and return it to the school. Additional copies are available at the principals office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For the school officials to determine eligibility, the household must provide the following information listed on the application: Names of all household members; social security numbers of all adult household members or a statement that the household member does not possess one; total household income; and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct. Households are required to report increases in household income of over $50 per month or $600 per year and decreases in household size. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price policy, the Principal, Assistant Principal, or other designated authority will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent wishes to make a formal appeal, he may make a request either orally or in writing to Maxine H. Reeves, Supervisor of School Foods, 45 East State St., Farming-ton- , Utah 84025, telephone for a hearing to appeal the decision. The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure. If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for reduced 451-121- 0 price meals, or for additional benefits such as free meals if the family income falls at or below the levels shown above. In certain cases, foster children who are legal wards of the court are also eligible for these benefits. If a household has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals for them, the household should contact the school for more information. The information provided by the household is confidential and will be used only for purposes of determining eligibility and verifying data. In the operation of child feeding programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, sex, national origin, age, or handicap. If any member of a household believes they have been discriminated against, they should write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. |
