For special projects, the three classes meet together for an extended time that can take up time equal to the three class periods. This will be the case next week when the Gaiters help plant the trees. This kind of project is hard to do on your own, Erickson said. If I didnt have support from the other teachers, it would be hard to do. Erickson said this years project is part of a plan to add more than 100 varieties of trees at the school. ar Theyll discuss the economics of the Support from the other teachers also benefits the students, Erickson said. He explained that the concept allows him to get together with the other two teachers, who see his same students, to discuss individual student strengths and weaknesses, which help him better decide how to help those students. They cant get away with anything because we talk together, Erickson said about himself and the other two teachers. We work as a team.

We have a considerable land along amount of Parrish Lane which is available for businesses to come into our city, said Blaine Lutz, Centerville finance director. We also have a large amount of privately owned land along the street which has great potential to be developed commercially. At a recent meeting. Lutz told city officials about an idea that began four years ago. Mayor Priscilla Todd told the city council since Parrish Lane is "the only access into the city from Interstate 15, it could become a crowded and congested sprawl of businesses surrounded by asphalt, or the city could control commercial growth in a way that would benefit business and be aesthetically pleasing to residents and visitors, he said. This gave birth to an idea in Todd's administration that has carried over to the present administration. Lutz said Todd told the people of Centerville that the city had city-own- ed See ,15, oo as By BOB HUDSON Standard-Examine- f staff LAYTON - Although Tom Winegar is selling his Layton and Clearfield stores to different local chains, he will still be involved in the operation of one of them. Winegar has signed a three-yeconsulting agreement with Dans Foods, which is purchasing the Layton store. Were quite excited he agreed, said Dans Foods president Ted Gardiner said. We look forward to his input and wisdom. The Clearfield store is being sold to Maceys. Financial terms of the sales were not disclosed. 1 lowever, Winegar said, its a situation for everyone concerned. He said his decision to sell came about because of some business realities that face ownar win-win-w- in e ers of one- - and operations in an increasingly two-stor- competitive marketplace. It was just an opportunity that came along that was the best opportunity for everyone concerned, he said. Winegar noted that concern for his employees future with their two new companies was paramount. His own future is also secure, but somewhat uncertain at this point.

At Tuesdays city council meeting, Galbraith said upon calling one of the citys newest volunteers, This gentleman started screaming at me before I even told him who I was." Galbraith had called Jim Carter on Monday during the last two minutes of the Utah Jazz basketball game to tell him that he and his wife, Kaylene, had been selected as the new youth city council advisers. Galbraith said she was confident the Carters would do a good job despite their beginning, and she promised not to call again when there was a game on. Not when there are two minutes left, said Jim Carter, who admitted hes still embarrassed by the incident. j ' Residents wont get dump cards activities. To encourage cleanup activities, the city provides free trash bins twice yearly, during the spring and again in the fall. But a group of residents told the council Tuesday that the bins fill up too fast and are difficult to load because of their height. As an alternative, they requested the city issue cards good for free entry to the Parrish Lane A landfill.

Im not that old. Gardiner said the Layton store will close for some remodeling in late June and will before the first of July. Unlike Maceys, Dans Foods stores are open on Sunday. However, Gardiner, said, no definitive decision has been made on whether the Layton store will be open on Sunday or not. If it is, employees will be given the opportunity to decide whether to work or not. We try to respect the religious beliefs of all our employees. he added. Gardiner said the reality is that a lot of people shop on Sunday. Sunday is a very big day in our other six markets," he noted. Five of those markets are in Salt Lake County, while the sixth is in Park City. No major changes are expected in the Clearfield Wincgar's store when it becomes Maccys. Ken Macey, the president of that food chain, said only small cosmetic changes are planned. The Clearfield Wincgars will close its doors May 30, be closed Sunday, May 31, and will as Maceys on June 1, Macey said. Under the Maceys name, it will continue to be closed on Sunday. We feel that will fit very well for us," said Macey. Its something weve done for years and years.

I knew I McKay wanted to be a firefighter more than anything, but when I first came to Utah and tried to get on with several different city fire departments, I was turned down every time. It was a job that women just did not do. Then an idea came to her. Why not join the Air Force Reserves and be a firefighter? She knew the military had an equal employment policy, and within a few months she was training to be a firefighter at Chanute Air Force Base, 111. When I got back to the reserve unit at Hill, I immediately applied to be hired by the base fire department, she said.
