However, it still has an original cellar. The Slatore home was also the first home in Davis County to boast central heat. Il has been converted from coal to gas, but the home still has hot water healing. Slatore, who has two sons attending college, said. This has been the only home they know, but they'll never really be back. Tsc raised a family here." she said, her favorite memories being of her sons. Keeping her company are several Kestrel hawks that nest in the attic. "Theres room there for them. Theyve lived up there for years," Slatore said. "Some also say the house is haunted, but theyre friendly. But I'm beginning to feel like a spook here with them," Slatore said, laughing. Slatore's favorite aspect of the home is its peacefulness. "Its very peaceful and very quiet. One always feel safe." she said. She also enjoys the stories about her home's history. "It's got so much history. (The Laytons) used to come here to be married and there is an upstairs e i, Ud Held From page 1 velociraptor, and a pack of iguano-dont-tydinosaurs called campto-sauru- s. Future projects include refurbishing a car engine that can be cranked in order to show how one works. Trees From page 1 committee gave the power compafor trimming those ny the trees, but didnt like the look of the ash trees when pruned. The advantages are that this way the trees can be saved, and residents foot no additional cost as tree pruners are UP&L employees. The trees would also balance with ash trees on the opposite side of the road. Some residents argued that balance was a disadvantage as pruned trees would look different than the other trees. UP&L district manager Steve Rush said if the committee decides to remove the trees, his company would pay for the removal of all trees and stumps. Plant From page 1 - they grow closer to the ground and have larger leaves. Killebrew claims that the leaves on the plant are strictly potato leaves and that the tomatoes are growing close to the ground on a branch of the potato stem. If you follow the main stem of the potato plant, you can see the potatoes. If you follow that main stem about eight or 10 inches, theres a little branch that comes off of it and there's a pot of cherry former art teacher at Davis High School.

Miller predicted that a number of existing trees in the area will die within a decade or so because of irritations they have suffered through past pruning and from driveway construction around them. Rush said his company would be open to any combination of these first two options. Thatcher said keeping the trees, and healthier trees, are advantages to any of the other options including installing taller poles, underground lines or moving utility poles to back yards. Rush said 19 taller poles could be installed for $700 a piece, costing residents some $14,000. He said eventually the trees would interfere with these lines as well and they would have to be pruned 12-fo- ot 55-fo- ot tomatoes on it, Killebrew said. Killebrew said the plant isnt the result of gardening techniques or grafting. Its not grafted. I didnt do anything to make it happen, he said. The incident, according to Killebrew, is simply chance and he does not have plans for developing the idea or trying it again next season. Whatever happened happened by nature. It wasn't planned on my part. There is nothing I have done that would cause this thing to work that way, unless just by its chance."

He said to legally progress with such a measure, all residents would have to cooperate in handing over easements. that it was a tomato. "I cut one of them open and the seeds on the inside indicate it is a tomato. The neighbor was standing there and he also agreed it was a tomato, he said. For the skeptics, Killebrew said, Its all on the same plant. It certainly is not two vines." Carol Turner of the Utah State University Botanical Gardens in Farmington, said its not unusual for a potato plant to produce a fruit, but that it's not a tomato. Sometimes potatoes will put out a green fruit that looks like a cherry tomato. Potatoes and tomatoes are in the same family and do that on occasion."

He spent many years stationed in North Dakota. but chose to retire in Utah where his brothers and sisters were living.
