District officials have discussed split-sessio- Ken-del- n year-roun- programs. According to projected enrollment figures, by the year 1993 there will be 7,753 more students attending Davis County schools. Nearly half of those students will be in junior high schools. ar However, Kendell said he would like to see further review of immediate solutions on the high school, junior high and elementary school level. We are not recommending this (the following options) be done, but we are recommending they be studied, he said. Solutions for high schools include: Maximizing existing space. Open enrollment for students wanting to attend Bountiful or Woods Cross High only. Making the Davis Area Vocational Center in Kaysville a magnet school for students studying electronics and computer science. Kendell said he believes there is enough space available at the vocational center and a pilot program could be underway there as early as 1990. For junior highs: The use of 12 new portable classrooms by spring of 1989. Boundary changes with an interim report to be made available by March of 1989. New classrooms to be set in design stage with a project completion date for central Davis schools by 1990. Kendell said if those remedies do not alleviate overcrowding in the junior high schools a committee can be appointed to review scheduling options. Elementary solutions to be dis- school areas. Kendell said boundary changes may be necessary in Layton because of continued growth and at West Clinton Elementary because the school is currently by the 70 percent use law passed in 1987. cussed: Refining the present extended day program.

Peggy gave birth to Tyrone 33 Peggy and Tyrone Aranda share the same January birth- - years ago when she was 22. Both are Layton residents. With group protesting the wording of the ordinance. Zeus has been scheduled to be euthanised three times, said Mrs. Mickelson. Each time his owners have been granted a temporary Friday the 13th lucky for mom, son LYNDIA GRAHAM Lakeside Review correspondent stay. The dog, which has been retained at the Davis County Animal Shelter since Dec. 14, has made vicious attacks on neighbors, said De Anne Hess, animal control director. Cates said the dog is not vicious. The dog actually smiles, LAYTON Unlucky Friday the 13th, or lucky Friday the 13th. It all depends on your outlook. Peggy Aranda and her son Tyrone, both of Layton, think the day is just great. In fact, they regard it as one of their best. Peggy was born on Friday, Jan. 13, in England. A midwife came to her familys home at 113 Sandy Lane in the little community of East Derheham, North Fork, England, and assisted her birth. Peggy grew up with some superstitions and some teasing about her birth date, but she only recalls happy experiences associated with the day. She said that about the best thing that happened to her on Cates said. Mrs. Mickelson said Zeus has never attacked anyone. But several neighbors living between 50 West and 350 West and 2nd and 4th South say Zeus and the female Doberman, Amber, have been loose many times and have chased, jumped on and sometimes even bitten people. The residents, who asked not to be identified, said in a letter to the Lakeside Review they have managed to avoid serious injury e from the dogs, but that the ns ani-Se- The goat had a collar around its neck when first found, but we had to remove it because it had actually grown into the goat, she said. Hess said many people get standard or pygmy goats as pets but as they grow and develop mature eating habits, the owners usually change their mind about keeping them as pets. ' The animal control director said the shelter has had the goat since Dec. 14 and if it is not claimed by Jan. 17 it will be sold to Weber County to be auctioned off at a livestock show. her birthday came 22 years after her own birth when she gave birth to her son Tyrone. Not only was he born on Friday, Jan. 13, but he was bom in the same home his mother had been born in. If a dash is added to the address of 13 it becomes the date of Peggys and Tyrones birthdays, Tyrone was delivered in the same bed his mother had been bom in. Not only that, but the same midwife delivered them both. Luck? Coincidence? Just an unusual quirk of fate? Neither is sure. Tyrone said his mother is definitely the more superstitious of the two, but neither claims to put much credence in good or bad luck or in tales often associated with the superstitious. Peggy remembers a few of 1 those tales. Her own mother passed on some traditional ones to her as a child. No walking under ladders. No shoes on the table. No open umbrellas in the house. If salt is spilled, toss a little over your left shoulder. During any storm she always covered all the mirrors in the house, Peggy said of her mother. She isnt sure why her mother did all the those things; they were just a part of life. Like playing in the graveyard. It was common for the village children to use the local cemetery for games of hide and seek. The headstones were more fun to hide behind than they were scary, even in the dark. When Tyrone visited England as a child he remembers romp ing with playmates in a cemetery near his home, complete with a church and a ghost. The ghost is reported to be that of a young woman who died during her wedding ceremony and now haunts the church. Despite the ghosts and goblins and old wives tales, Peggy and Tyrone both like their birth date. Each year they and their spouses go out to dinner and celebrate. Well, two years they didnt. Tyrone was in the hospital those two years, but doesnt attribute that to Friday the 13th. This year wont be different. Tyrone plans to take everyone to a nice smorgasbord Friday where everyone can wish everyone else the best of luck for 1989. 2A Snow: Where to shovel it? Animal shelter got your goat? cuse. is in ge long-rang- death. FRUIT HEIGHTS The Davis County Animal Shelter has got your goat. If your goat is an adult grey and blue tick billy, the shelter has it and is waiting to have it claimed. Actually we handle six to eight goats a year, upwards of ten, said shelter director De Anne Hess. Hess said this particular goat, a pygmy, was discovered loose in the area of 3429 W. 2700 S. in Syra- the assistant city Layton and is over planning. The ongoing need for reviewing and renewing the citys e plans has spurred an effort to organize citizen committees, Aegerter said. Those committees will study the city's needs and present their findings in several areas so the ideas can be used in the planning of Layton's future. More than 40 people turned out for the initial planning meeting last week to join committees but more are needed, he said. The committees will consider land use in Layton, parks and open space, the environment, housing and neighborhoods, commercial development, transportation and circulation, public and community services and facilities, and local economic development.

Thats how Fred Aegerter hopes the new Doberman pinscher who was picked up by the Davis County Animal Control Department three times for exhibiting threatening behavior is scheduled to be put to sleep Thursday under a ordinance. Under the ordinance, written by Davis County officials and adopted by Layton, Kaysville, Fruit Heights and Bountiful, an animal control officer can seize a dog the third time a complaint of vicious behavior is filed against the animal. The dogs owners have five days to present their case at a hearing or the animal is put to DOG, 1 Determining if Monte Vista School for the handicapped can be used to accommodate kindergarten classes from Farmington elementary schools.

Lakeside Review staff AROUND HERE Snow, snow everywhere. And now that youve got it, where do you shovel it? Not in front of the mailbox or the bills wont be delivered. Not out in the street or the city will get mad. Certainly not boxed and sent to Florida for it would melt in transit. But what to do with that sea- sonal white stuff is indeed a prob- lem. Not only with what youve but with whats coming. got According to Bill Alder, spokes- man for the National Weather Service, who seems to have given the same forecast for the past month, Scattered snow is expected to continue. And that means more shoveling. If you want mail delivered dont shovel your snow in front of the curbside box and be sure to clean away the pile left from the street plow. Curbside box residents get it cleared out and the snow plow buries it again, said Kirk Martin, supervisor of mails and delivery at the Clearfield Post Office. Weve had a problem with that, he said. Carriers are specifically instructed not to leave their vehicles to make curbside deliveries, he said. If your box is attached to your house then clear a path for the mailman. We really take notice of icy steps on the porch," Martin said, requesting the public to provide safe access. A carrier will deliver during a storm but delivery will be discony tinued after a grace period. he said. If you live in Layton or Clearfield you arent supposed to scoop it out into the street. Theres an ordinance against it. It creates problems, it could damage vehicles, said Clearfield City Manager Wally Baird. If youre from Kaysville or Farmington the city fathers ask you to take care of your own, but you wont be a felon if you toss it in the street. No, we have no ordinance, but I wish they wouldn't res Aegerter said he expects each committee will meet for about four weeks before presenting their findings to the planning commission which will then make recommendations to the City Council. Those who are interested in joining the committees should 0 call Aegerter at so packets can be prepared for them before the committee meetings. 546-852- On the agenda Kaysville City Council will hold a public hearing on a city secondary water system Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 6:45 p.m. in the council chambers. Plans and costs will be discussed on establishing a pressure irrigation system in arof the city where secondary water is not yet available. All city residents are encouraged to attend to voice their concerns and to hear what the city has planned. A Kaysville town meeting scheduled for Jan. 17 has been postphoned by the Davis School Board because of a conflict with a Davis High School play. The meeting for all Kay sville residents will now be held at the School District offices, 45 E. State, Farmington and will be rescheduled for April or May. The Davis School Board will discuss approving a list of child abuse prevention programs to be used in the district, Tuesday, Nov. 17. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the School District offices in Farmington. The public is encouraged to attend. two-da- ,.V A scheduled. eas ' BRYON SAXTON and ROBERT REGAN The land use committee will meet Jan. 12, 7 p.m. at city hall. The parks and open space committee will meet on Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. Chairpersons will be elected and further meetings will be do it. Its a hazard, said mington City Manager Max FarFor-bus- h. Gary Uresk, Clinton city manager, said they also dont have a ordinance, but we. do have a continual battle between our (snow plow) drivers and residents who push their snow into the street. This year has been particularly frustrating because of the amount of snow and the frequency of the storms, he said. In West Point there isnt an or- snow-remov- al ,r i dinance against throwing snow in the street but the City council has discussed adopting one on several occasions. All you are supposed to do in Sunset is to keep your sidewalks clean. And if you call Syracuse your hometown then keep your cars off the road at night. Most other cities have a similar ordi- nance. Forbush summed up the dilemma of the season, Im sick of snow."
