Show WEEKLY REFLEX I I I DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, JULY 15, 1982 Restaurant Riata Days continued SPECIAL FEES for iwimming pools, for example, while restaurant generate a 'consistent income." Lashing out at the food handler permit program he said, "The point can be made the food handler' fee charged to restaurant employees are by themselves ludicrous. It is generally admitted less than half of all restaurant employee in Davis County even receive the permit, leaving a large potential source of income already available to the health department." CHARGING THE county hasn't updated its food program for ten years w hilc other counties hold "regularly-schedule- d illnesses classes on food-born- e and update their programs," he said Davis County approach has allowed fora "highly profitable" program. "In fact, the program exists only for making money since employees are required to renew their food hand ler's card every two years even though the exams and booklets are identical to those received 24 months ear- Riata Days festivities were postponed for July 24th. LAYTON -- The Riata Days July 4th activities that were rained out have been scheduled SINCE THIS program is a profitable sham, it is ridiculous to force restaurants which are in no way helped by the program to pay the extra fee," Mr. Ipaktchian emphasised. "As a businessman, I am willing to pay for services which help my business. But I'd be crazy to pay a special fee for a program w hich is far more detrimental and frustrating than helpful." I le objected to the health department proposing the fee and also holding the public hearing and deciding "thcr merits of that same fee."

EXPRESSING opposition to the proposal he said it's "unfair to single out restaurants" and said the theory users should pay for the program is "questionable. I think everyone uses them (restaurants) at some time. I feel the entire public should pay. He further asked, "Why are commercial food establishments charged a fee why not others such as grocery stores. If the health department wants the program to be it should assess all areas covered.

While a Salt Lake City attorney disputed legality of the health board setting such a fee he voiced support he believes stems from the legis- lation. "When you look as a user fee underlining a service it impacts directly on the users of that service it may be an and other appropriate course of action. He said Davis health districts probably arent "covering all the bases to obtain funding. t "IS THIS (restaurant) industry singled out? I dont believe so. As other areas are identified appropriate fees can be set, he said. "I dont think any fee completely (should) underwrite (a program). We still need some (funding) from the general fund, as long as its consistent with the other services theyre providing." He noted only one of the states 12 health districts currently has an inspection fee, that one is Utah County. One other department responding to Mr. Furlow opposed such a proposal while others were undeciding, with at least one admitting theyre waiting to see what Davis County does. A FORMER Davis County sanitation director, Morgan Reid, who now heads the state division said the state demands each restaurant be inspected at least once a averyear with additional up to each area.

Following a discussion, Councilman Howard moved to approve the rezoning request with the stipulation that curb and gutter be worked on a lein waiver; and to zone a general commercial with the manufacturing as a conditional use.

You the city proceed with the installation of the subdivision improvements in the Marketboro subdivision. The council approved the extension. City Administrator John Thacker presented copies of the agreement between Utah Power and Light Co. and Kaysville City Corporation for the sale of electric distribution facilities and discussed the agreement in full detail with the city council. After the discussion, Councilman Howard moved for the adoption of the agreement and it was approved by the council, unanimously. THACKER PRESENTED traveled in the buggy to Kaysville to buy groceries, my Grandmother would say, Well, the snow horse is comor the snow horse is fading away. I don't know if she named it or if all the pioneers of the area called it wouldnt know it was the Snow Horse unless you had been watehing all year." THESE ARE typical statements made by many Layton residents who have made watching the Snow Horse an annual spring and summer ritual. About three weeks ago Ed Bird took a picture of the snow horse from the area of Gentile Street and Fairfield Road. He says this is something he has wanted to do since he first heard of the Snow Horse from his father. The day before the picture was taken, the tail of the horse was visible. THE SNOW Horse is los of the cated about way up Webb's Canyon on Snow Horse Ridge. This canyon is south of Adams Canyon and north of the towers on Frances Peak. It can be seen from the mill in Kaysville from Mutton Hollow Road and from most parts of Layton. People living in Syracuse also have a good view of the Snow Horse. Lowell Stephens lives on Mutton Hollow Road. He can see the Snow Horse through his kitchen window. Mr. Stephens has hunted deer on the Snow Horse Mountain for many years. He says there are many deep washes that fill up with snow during the wintertime. Wind drifts the snow into the ridges and washes. The sun doesn't shine onto the accumulated snow with enough force to melt it rapidly. This explains the Snow Horse formation. NED WILLIAMS has lived in Layton 52 years. He has been able to see the horse every spring. The bottom of Snow Horse Ridge is the end of the trail up the mountain, Mr. ing out the Snow Horse. Mrs. Wil- liams says. "We have been able to see it every year. WILFORD Whitesides is 80 years old. As a young man he hunted pine hens on the mountain. One day he trailed a hen over to the Snow Horse ridge. You could never get a horse down the ridge. It comes to a dead end. I had to turn back and go north around to Maple Mountain. Thats rugged country." Mr. Whitesides re- calls. The Snow Horse has lasted longer this year than usual. It changes every year depending on the temperature, the depth of the snow and the winds," Mr. Whitesides says. "I WENT out to show some of the neighborhood children the Snow Horse about two weeks ago. They just looked at me. Young kids dont pay much attention to it." Just one long strip of snow remains on Snow Horse Ridge now. Next Spring when the snow starts melting from the mountain peaks, he will reappear. Look up to the mountain. See the Snow Horse that is one of natures interesting legends we can all appreciate and pass and to the on to new-come- children. , WITH A little anticipation, wonder and imagination our lives can expand, reach out and grow. The Snow Horse can be a symbol of the continuity between generations and of the common bonds and interests that tie all people together, dmg continued LOOKLNG specifically at Clearfield Job Corps, where he has been a guest several times in the last couple years, Mr. Hatch said, This is the best in the country. Ive seen people go through the center and get good jobs."

Noting he employees about 70 with a $200,000 payroll and generates more than $50,000 yearly in sales tax Mr. Brimhall said, If it werent for restaurants in Davis County your unemployment would go up at least 5,000. The government doesnt want the little man he wants the little man broke. Your attitude is stick it to em. It might cost $100 or $5,000 (for the inspection fee). You want us to pay for our own inspection. Tomorrow I could be closed its tough on us. Ive got to pay to be criticized and condemned. MR. BRIMHALL added the county could generate revenue from food handler permits if it would make that process valuable, not a mockery. I can get the most ignorant person in for a permit. Why not get the Utah Restaurant Association to help make a film? The URA also spoke out strongly against the proposal with Executive Director Ron Morgan noting the inspections are mandated adding, If the health department is unable to operate within its budget, we suggest you tighten your belts and cut overhead, just as every business is having to do in this economic slump. If you need additional funds, we suggest you go back to the county commission and plead your case with them. mons Park. Major League All 3 p m. at Wcndall Snow Ball Diamond. Star Game.

HE TOLD graduates of their chance to rise from humble roots and achieve greatness. Those I personally admire most are those who began from humble backgrounds and had to work even harder to reach their goals. If you read biographies of famous people, you will find many of them were not born rich or famous. President Reagan was born in Dixon, III., not in Beverly Hills. His parents were not wealthy, but their son grew up to be president of the United States. The same could be said of most American presidents. IT S OPERATED by a private Ogden-base- d group headed by former Thiokol employees. That firm operated the center until about two years ago. In my experience the private sector can always do a better job and make sure it works right, the senator continued. It s better to go like the Management Training Corp. (Clearfield Job Corps owners), he said adding that doesnt mean the government cant operate a similar program. 16-2- Fire continued APPLICANTS, therefore, assume total responsibility for any damage suffered as a result of a lack of water ' for fire protection purposes. Applicants will receive the same fire protection service as otherpeople situated in the unincorporated areas. "THE MAIN reason for this is that there are houses out there right now, said Albert Cole, assistant county planning director. He emphasized that there is limited fire protection in several of the areas. Unfortunately, Cole told commissioners, its the pioneer that has to suffer. COM. CHAIRMAN Ernest Eberhard, Jr. expressed concern over opening the door for a massive influx of building permits in the unincorporated sector and said hes not in favor of such a move. Cole said developers with an eye on the unincorporated area must meet the same criteria as developers in other areas of the county namely providing sewer and culinary water improvements. |
