NAMES OF families needing help come through the Davis County CAP (Community Action Program). This year volunteers at St. Rose helped 80 families. The largest family had 17 people living in one house. Other families are single people sometimes elderly and living alone. The efforts put forth by the members of St. Rose make up a sizeable contribution to the total CAP help program for the flour, sugar, milk, cheese. Each family helped receive a turkey. Oranges, onions, potatoes and bread are donated by individuals. Some of the local grocery stores help by giving the parrish officials very reasonable prices for the staple grocery items.

Wright-Patterso- LAYTON - The Watched Pot on the second level of the Layton Hills Mall is one store that is fun to visit. There are so many kitchen things to browse through, to buy or to wish you knew how to use. There are practical items, like cookbooks, storage jars, cooking gadgets and bake ware and d there are gourmet utensils like Aebleskiver pans, pasta machines and springerle molds and rolling pins. A person wanting a gift for a bridal shower or a wedding would do well to visit the Watched Pot. The bridal register service is not widely used but it does provide a service for those people wanting to select a practical gift without paying a big price for something that may go unused. WITH THE help of her husband, Joy first decided what the needs in North Davis County were. My husband is an adventer-ou- s person. He believes success comes when you find a need and then fill it. The couple discovered there was a need for a small, personal shop that carried a line of kitchen items. Mr. Hennessy says he feels a lot better. You hope youre satisfying peoples needs. You feel youre making things better for someone, he says. This is the only pay that Dennis Hennessy, Sue Padilla and the 50 or more volunteers at St. Rose receive for the hours of service they give each Layton C of C Kicksoff 1983 Luncheon Speeches 30-5- MANY contribute money that is used to purchase staple food items like beans, rice, d of the people helped through CAP are serviced by the St. Rose volun- county. If you need it in the kitchen, look no farther than Joy McDaniels Watched Pot at the Layton Hills MALL. THE MALN reason The Watched Pot is a delightful place to browse and to shop is the stores owner, Joy McDaniel. This very personable lady is very articulate about the line of kitchen housewares she sells. The Watched Pot opened about six months after the Layton Hills Mall was first established. Mrs. McDaniel wanted to become involved in a retail store business. Her husband is a small businessman in Ogden. She was working as a secretary for the volunteer department at the University of Utah Medical Center. The contact with people she got while working at the U. of U. excited Joy. She thought it would be stimulating to work more closely with people in a retail business. St. Rose Aids Needy Bv DONETA GATHERUM LITTLE OF EVERYTHING n Scott Hughes, 15, son of Shar and Ron Hughes of 436 N. 2800 E., Layton, received his Eagle Scout award on Dec. 12. HE HAS been on the honor roll at Layton High School where he is a sophomore. He has earned his Arrow of Light and Duty to God Trail Award. He earned 21 merit badges and his On My Honor Award. He has been patrol leader, historian and Varsity team captain. FOR HIS Eagle project he painted the interior of Oleah Tamasy home, an old pioneer home that was being remodeled. It took him approximately 32 hours, and was assisted by five other scouts. Scott enjoys skiing, camping and computers. SCOTT is a member of Troop No. 305 of the Layton 21st Ward. Gary Egbert is the scout leader. THE SECOND problem was where to locate the shop. We originally planned to run a Mom and Pop store in an old stone house in Farmington. We were wise to decide against this plan. We would have gone out of business before we got started, Joy states. Reflecting back on the two years she has been in business, Joy recalls running the store is much more difficult than she had anticipate. I had no idea how much would be involved, she says. There is the hassle of shiiments that arrive late or that contain broken items. Setting up a bookkeeping system was difficult for someone who had no experience in this line. Luckily my husband helped and my son that is a CPA showed me how to organize. PERHAPS the greatest challenge of operating a business is learning how to buy. You have to learn what is good. It is wise to pay more for a quality product than to skimp. A gourmet cook uses only the best. It is a learning process to know how much to buy, when to buy it, how to get the best freight and shipping rates and what products are in demand in this part of the country, Joy says. Best selling items at the Watched Pot include Wok cookers and pasta machines. demand for unusual bake The mine-brea- d e ware items like tins, checkerboard cake pans and tarte pans on-goi- hard-to-fin- is a staple line that sells well in the store. The useful and unusual gadget display attracts customers who dont want to spend too much money as well as customers who want to locate a particular tool for a certain purpose. COOKING classes, offered free of charge, and Saturday demonstration have become very popular. Joy says she selects many people to demonstrate from the customers who come into her store. When a person asks for unusual items and seems knowledgeable about cooking, chances are they will be good at demonstrating. There is something about gourmet cooking that makes you an actor, says Joy. Both men and women are invited to give demonstrations. There are many men who are excellent gourmet cooks. CHINESE cooking demonstrations go over the best. Joy believes this is because so many people in this area raise vegetables in their gardens. Chinese dishes utilize this fresh produce and provide quick, inexpensive and healthful meals. Walking through the Watched Pot is a stimulus to anyone who has cooking doldrums. There are so many things that are challenging to try. Joy is enthusiastic and creative. She suggests if you are tired of cooking the same thing, meal after meal, you should buy a new cook book, take a cooking class, try something different. THE CHALLENGE of keeing a business going that was started about the time the economy started turning down requires careful planning and wise management. When we first opened, Layton was experiencing the greatest period of growth in its history. After about six months, things started slowing down, Joy remembers. To keep the business running successfully, it is necessary to attract customers from many communities. There is not a kitchen speciality shop in Ogden. Joy gets customers from the Ogden market area and from Morgan. Many people stationed at HAFB like shopping at the Watched Pot. Most items are imported. People who have lived or traveled abroad are acquainted with many kitchen ware articles sold by Joy. Some are very surprised when they learn you can buy fresh coffee beans without traveling all the way into Salt Lake. The new Mall management is doing many things to attract customers from the Bountiful area. Shopping in Layton is more convenient for these people than traveling to Salt Lake, the Mall tenants believe. Under the new management, businesses in the Mall are learning to work together to reach common goals. A family atmosphere is gradually being built among the Mall tenants, Joy believes. AFTER NEARLY three years in the retail store business, Joy feels her efforts have been rewarded. Today, she has an established clientel, many are repeat customers that can call Joy by her first name. Perhaps the most important thing about operating the business is the personal growth and education that comes only when you plunge in and work on a day to day basis, learning the hard way. |
