"We don't want that but we've got to use good judgement and research this out" Many factors will need looking into, such as a current charge on new construction to pay for the fire department's new truck lease. Impact fees are generally tied to capital facilities such as sewers. The parks and recreation fee should be fairly easy to determine based on how many acres per thousand residents the city decides to set for part development, said Steve Anderson, city engineer.

Some rules change for WIC has recently been enrolled in the Angus Herd Improvement Records program of the users By RUTH MALAN Standard-Examin- correspondent LAYTON - Mothers who have WIC vouchers for June need to know that they can't use them in the same way they have been doing. The Women, Infants and Children supplemental food program has lost some of its funding, said Colleen Fechser, director of Davis County WIC. The local WIC offices have just received notification that some of the funds have been cut off and changes must be made in the vouchers. Beginning June I the vouchers may not be used for several items that used to qualify. These items are more costly than other substitutes, she said. Swiss cheese and combinations of cheeses no longer qualify. Only one type of cheese may be purchased on one voucher. Dole blend juices may no longer be purchased, and Kelloggs Special K, Kix, Corn, Rice or Wheat Chex, and Cheerios are now off the list. And peanut butter must be the least expensive brand. These changes do not effect the nutritional value of the WIC food package, said Fechser. The June vouchers already received cant be used in the old manner. They may be used for other items not listed above. Grocery stores are already aware of the new rules, she added. If we follow these changes we probably wont have to take people off the program, Fechser said. If the changes are not made funding for the WIC program will not last to the end of the year, Fechser said.

Angus Herd Improvement Records is a comprehensive evaluation program used by registered Angus breeders to help them keep records of reproduction, and growth rate on individual animals Each year hundreds of Angus breeders use these records to produce more profitable, efficient Angus seedstock. By weighing calves at 205 days of age and again at a year of age, breeders not only identify the cattle that grow the fastest and most efficiently, they also identify cows that regularly produce above average calves, and bulls that sire outstanding calves.
