The $600,000 shelter for victims of domestic violence is set for an Oct. 29 rihhon-cul-tin- g ceremony. 5.000-squarc-fo- ot building with eight rooms und counseling offices is the collective effort of the Davis Citizens Coalition Against Violence, state grant money, county funds and private donations gathered during the past four years. Kasten Bell said the shelter will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days u year, to house a maximum of 34 people. "Domestic violence doesnt take a holiday and our volunteers know that, said Kasten Bell, who has 20 years experience and 35 volunteers, but is hoping for 50 to make the program work. The Shelter also will have e five staff members, e two of those being counselors. Though the shelter opening may be new to Davis County, the first of its kind, its not new to Kasten Bell, who helped open the first womens shelter in Madison, Wis. The building they transformed was a parishioners office. Kasten Bell also has worked in Evergreen, Colo., as a domestic violence victims volunteer, and spent the last 13 years with the Salt Lake YWCA. You want to work to the point where you are no longer needed, she said. Kasten Bell is hoping this new shelter will help her obtain that goal by providing a three-fol- d mission.

NUMBER ONE: The other community resources, and educating the public on Photos by BRIAN NICHOLSON Standard-Examin- the dangers Standard Examiner Davis Bureau FARMINGTON - A Layton man who lost his right leg falling from a tree was denied his appeal for a $300 disability tax abatement Wednesday by the County Commission, whose members feared it would 'set a precedent. The County Commission by a 1 vote deemed an appeal made by David Wild for a disability abatement after his initial request for the abatement was Hjned down Monday. Fawn Jensen, a Davis County tax special- ist, said Wild failed to file an application for the disability abatement before the Sept. 1 deadline. But Wild, who lost his right leg 14 years ago and was applying for his first disability abatement, said he did file the necessary paperwork with Jensens office and someone misplaced it. The abatement would have reduced this years property tax payment from about $800 to $500. County Commissioner Carol R. Page made a motion to reverse the countys earlier denial and grant the appeal. The motion died from a lack of being seconded. County Commissioner Dan McConkie said the county could not approve the appeal because it is required by state law to adhere to the tax deadlines. He said if commission members approve the appeal for abatement, it could set a precedent for others to follow. Im sorry, McConkie told Wild. Wild, before leaving the meeting, received from Jensen the information needed to file for the abatement next year. jPOOU COPY of domestic lence.

She spoke to about 300 women from the North Clearfield LDS Stake and surrounding stakes last Saturday. Her grandfather, James Wood, farmed the land where the stake center now stands, she said. Smoot greeted many of the women there by first names. She grew up in Clearfield in a home close to the old Pioneer elementary School and the canning factory on Pioneer Road. Glenna Jarvis of ClcarficlJ attended sixth grade, junior high and high school with Smoot. I was thrilled to death to listen to her," Jarvis said. Using the theme for the day, Pockets of Service, Smoot spoke to the audience about service and how it is changing the d the world. She saw it first two months after General Conference. She traveled to 13 countries and spoke with women from all over the world, some in their own homes. ! I wonder if you know how wonderful you are, she told the audience. LDS women live in a negative world, but they can make a difference in their homes, their community and in their countries by uniting together and standing up for what is right, Smoot said. She said she has met with women who have put their Father in Heaven first in their lives and have made a difference in their lives and those around them. She spoke about a woman in Argentina who spread the gospel until she became bedfast. Another woman in that country also joined the church and traveled from her home on top of the mountain to church every Sunday on foot with her children. Smoot said she understands how difficult it is to come to church with children. She is the mother of seven children, six bom in the first eight years of her marriage to Stanley M. Smoot, I do know the challenges you r face. I understand what its like to feel you never got a thing out of the meeting.
