MICKELSEN FARMINGTON Widespread concern from a groupof Val Verda residents opposed to the construction of more multiple-famildwellings in their neighborhoods, prompted the Davis County Commission Tuesday to delay any decision on the matter until the two newly-electecommissioners arrive in January. y d A SPOKESMAN for about 100 Val Verda residents, Ellsworth Jensen recommended that any county action be postponed until the new commissioners are in. What started as a recommendation from the county planning commission for an amended twin home-zer- o lot line overlay zone ordinance, quickly turned into a barrage of pro and con debates over the necessity of higher density housing in the countv. MR. JENSEN told the commission people living in Val Verda with planned homes are worried about the density factor between houses. Greg Erickson, a developer in the Val Verda area, disagreed with Mr. Jensen , noting that it is the countys job to set up an ordinance to set some standards for the building The ordinance would not change existing use or impact. he said, "so why wait? IIE TOLD the commission and Mr. Jensen that the higher density, but well-plann- homes will allow people the opportunity to afford homes "otherwise unavailable." He urged the commissioners to "set the standards before the conversions (of existing single-famil- y dwellings) are allowed." THIS IS A real landmark case. Mr. Jensen said, warning the commissioners to be careful about their decision. Mr. Erickson reiterated that the ordinance is well thought 0ONE UNIDENTIFIED Val Verda resident told the commission Mr. Erickson built a duplex just below his home. "I have never seen a structural monstrosity go into a neighborhood like that, he said, criticizing Ericksons plea for more room to build more such houses.

HE EXPLAINED to the commission Tuesday that the people who currently cant afford houses were not in attendance at the meeting, and urged the county leaders to give consideration to those groups.

BOUNTIFUL Holidays are generally very happy occasions, filled with celebrations and good times with family and friends. BUT WHAT about those who for one reason or another cannot be with loved ones or celebrate the holiday? That could result because of work responsibilities, distance from home or loss of loved ones through death. For some, holidays are terrible," says Stan Fillmore, who oversees the emergency help line for Davis County Mental Health. A lot of people are off with their families and loved ones. But for others, the holidays are very trying." And if a person doesnt have people around him he may reach out for help from the emergency line. 24-ho- MR. FILLMORE oversees the program that includes six psychotherapists rotating duty with two others on backup. Stressing that five different professional areas are included Mr. Fillmore said, Theyre not volunteers. They do psychotherapy during the day and all have extensive training. In fact, the service has NUMBERS ARE 6 in south Davis in north Davis County with 0 and the calls handled through the Layton centers transitional facility. Calls are "quite evenly distributed" throughout the county, he said, including 58 last January, 76 in February down to 23 in June and include about the same number from both sexes.

But for those without such ties he continued, "A lot feel very isolated.

BIT THERE are some precautions that local merchants should take in cashing checks or accepting credit cards for merchandise sales, according to Dct. John Richey, who spends much of his police efforts this time of the year on the prevention of bad checks and following up on cases when they do occur.

"At this time, it should be determined that the check casher is aciually owner of the check being cashed." He noted that checks have been cashed when it was later determined that there was no resemblance between the person cashing the check and the person w hose name was on the check. ANOTHER "DEAD giveaway" is any check or credit card that is altered in any way. Date of expiration should also be checked to be certain the buyer is not using an expired credit card. He also urged merchants to take their time when dealing with a customer. A MI RC1IAVT "DONT LET the hustle-bustl- e of the Christmas season catch you off guard or cause you to let down just for the want to offend a good custom- sake of rushing through HE NOTED that merchants "get stung" this time of the year more than any other with bad checks and credit cards, but they still will not take the es to varifying ownership of checks and credit cards.

Home burglaries, car prow U and shoplifime also increase daring ihe holiday season with Christmas gifts being the primary target. CHIEF HIGGINS urged homeowners to be especially careful during this time of year to keep their cars and homes locked and Christmas gifts out of sight. agnt Gifts should be placed in the trunk of the car while shopping. not laying in the back seat in view of passersby and creating a temptation to others. Gifts at home espeexpensive gifts should not be placed under the tree until Christmas Eve. "They should be hidden from prospective burglars just like you would hide them from the children." he said. MOST MAJOR department stores hire security guards to aid against shoplifting, but the number of shoplifting cases increases drastically during the holiday season. Customers who see others slip items into their handbag or clothing should notify the store manager or security guard. All customers share in the cost of shoplifters through increased prices, it was explained: cially Terrible For Line Holidays meraency received very positive reviews" from evaluators. a a.'S M'S1 Tis The Season voca-tion.- already made for new By TOM BUSSELBERG School Closing A public BOUNTIFUL hearing on possible closure of sonal tastes. but rather whether or not standards should be set up.

"Most dont want to be dead, they want to be free of hurt and hurts come in about any way. Some feel they just cant cope that's where the support system comes in but if they dont have that... IF THEY see nothing else available generally that leads to some thinking that maybe if they were dead there would be no pain," he said, indicating the emergency team would attempt to help the person examine his life to the point where they can be shown some other alternatives." In some cases the emergency team becomes a persons support system, he added. WHILE MANY elderly feel frustrations because they cant stay ahead of inflation they have "a real positive support system through the Council on Aging. Mr. Fillmore noted. Help is given where possible by telephone but if necessary the therapist will meet the caller at the clinic or some other location, he said. WERE NOT just a hotline but an emergency system. We do what we can on the phone but weve gone to some hospitals and given evaluation when requested in the emergency rooms or the jail may call and ask us to evaluate (a case)." e Perhaps the need for emergency would be lessened if people were given better stress training, Mr. Fillmore said. "Were all experiencing a lot of stress, with monetary problems, etc. But it seems as people know how to solve prob-- : lems they can manage the stresses we all experience. assi-tanc- MANY HAVE never been tried or had to handle a lot of pressure and problems. I dont know how much focus schooling and family mangement (can) be directed to helping kids learn to resolve their prob''lems. It seems often easier for many people to give the solution (rather than) letting them learn the process of going through to finding a solution, he continued. "SOMEHOW WE need to teach the young how to (try to) solve their own problems. Im not blasting parents I just suspect were not teaching problem-solvinskills. Staff can provide educational programs in that area upon request, he said. g |
