The eyes are ordered from the company in the Eastern United States. Once the cape and form reach her home, Anita papiermaches the antlers onto the form and tries the cape on for size. If the skin and the form do not fit properly, Anita begins modifying the form to fit. When she finally gets the cape to fit with the use of clay and other special taxidermist secrets, she begins working on the minor details. For three days she presses features into the face. You have to play with the features of the face for about three days, Anita said. You keep pressing, smoothing, pressing, smoothing and loving it a lot. When the face is finally set, she paints parts of the hide to replace natural colors lost during the tanning. Then she glosses the nose, eyes, lower lip and charges the customer approximately $250 per deer head. I try to do each mount as if it were for me, she said. It doesnt matter to me if the guy wanting a mount is an expert on e gets the best I can do. I figure my reputataxidermy or tion is worth something. Most of Anitas business revolves around mounting elk and deer heads. But she has also preserved a Desert Bighorn Sheep and a Pecary-- a wild pig from Arizona. Her most frustrating and satisfying work was on two fawns. doe. A friend of Anitas The fawns were taken from a road-kifrom Michigan knew Anita was looking for a fawn to mount. When she heard about the accident and the two fawns the doe was carrying, she had the carcasses frozen and sent to Anita. Because they hadnt been born, their hair hadnt oxidized, Anita said. It was the most frustrating thing-ju- st toughing the hair would make it fall out in globs. Instead of sending the skins to a tannery, which is usually done, Anita used alcohol and water to tan them in her shop. When I started working on them I became so frustrated Ijust put the skins in a plastic bag and threw them in a comer for four days. But the two mounted fawns eventually won her four awards in BYUs annual taxidermy workshop. Decked with four large ribbons, the fawns have now joined the other moist-eye- d critters surrounding Anita Nortons desk. milk.

The four council members in attendance at the meeting unanimously voted to allow Mayor Richard McKenzie to proceed to consummate an agreement with the Special Service District based on a draft resolution and agreement that had been prepared by Mayor McKenzie, Layton City Attorney, Mark Arnold and Special Service District Attorney, Gerald Hess. This is one step short of signing a plant-landfi- ll final land-fi- ll use agreement with the District. Laytons Attorney, Mark Arnold said the Council would probably not sign a final agreement until they were ready to join the special service district. The proposed agreement presented by Mayor McKenzie to the city council dealt with landfill management. The District, Clearfield and Layton would jointly own the landfill. Clearfields share was computed at 16.8 percent. Laytons portion was 37.8 percent and the District owns 45.4 percent. The three entities--Th- e Special" Service District, Layton and Clearfield will jointly manage the landfill until the District waste recovery plant becomes operational probably in July of 1987. Once the plant is in operation, Layton will agree to have the District assume full management re sponsibilities. Mr. Arnold indicated the key factors in this arrangement are 1. The District will be able to set the tipping fee; 2. The District will be required to bring the landfill up to environmental standards which might include catch basins and other invitations not presently being used at the landfill. The contract spelling out this agreement will be for a 25 year n of the period. This is the Industrial Revenue Bonds the Special Service District has issued. Any violation of the agreement on the part of the Special Service District would allow Layton to reassume the management of the set-back- s, life-spa- landfill. Mayor McKenzie asked for authorization to sign the agreement at the Thursday meeting but he also stated If possible, I want the Council to be united in this decision. Councilman Bob Stevenson said he had some reservations about the language in the official document. He said he would talk to the Mayor privately about his concerns. Councilman Stevenson then made the motion that the Mayor be authorized to proceed to consummate the agreement with the Special Service District but that the council would hold back a final decision at the present time. The motion passed unanimously. Councilman Kent Smith asked, What will happen if Clearfield doesnt go along? Mayor McKenzie replied, 16.8 percent of a land fill operation would make a great expense for Clearfield. They will feel a great deal of pressure to do what we (Layton) are doing. Clearfield and Layton have been the only cities in the north end of Davis County to remain out of the Special Service District. As plant construction got underway and with the change of administration in Layton City, the philosophy of the city leaders started to change. Since Mayor McKenzie began his term of office in January, he has actively promoted joining the Special Service District. About a month ago informal discussions between Mayor McKenzie, Mr. Arnold and Mr. Hess started. The result of these discussions was the document the council tenatively approved Thursday evening. Mr. Hess notes one good feature about the contract is that after the 25 year period, the landfill property will still belong to the cities that now constitute the NARD. No one is giving up their interest in the landfill, Mr. Hess stated. He further noted the percentage of ownership was based on the number of households in each NARD city that now use the landfill. While no official discussion have been with Clearfield, Mayor McKenzie and Mr; Hess both stated there has been on-goi- unofficial communication with Clearfields Mayor and City Manager. Mr. Hess concluded by saying he felt Layton's willingness to sign a landfill management contract and possibly join the Special Service District is a Curtial step in solving the landfill problems of the county and in uniting the county in the common goal of responsible muni-- ; cipal waste management. The spir-- l it of compromise has been good on both sides, cluded. the Attorney con- Veterans officer sets meeting A field Service Officer from the American Legion, Department Service Office, in Salt Lake City, will be in the area to assist vets in understanding and applying for rightful VA benefits, preparing and documenting applications for compensation, pension, hospitalization, education and other benefits.
