Show A2 DAVIS COUNTY CLIPPER Tuesday, September 28, 1993 Teachers go on $150 spending spree FARMINGTON anticipation for Teacher $150 their legislative classroom supplement is so strong that teachers contacted already have plans in place for using the money and may have already spent it. Davis County Schools is in the process of distributing $150 to each certified teacher, as well full-tim- as e, certified counselors, psychologists and media specialists. Funding has been allocated to the schools where principals will write checks to individual staff members. The funding was designated by the 1993 Legislature to compensate for a portion of the continuing expenditure of a teacher's own funds for basic classroom needs. In polling some Davis teachers the feelings of enthusiasm, need and appreciation were unanimous, for themselves and their colleagues. Peggy Hyde, first grade teacher at Reading Elementary said. "Teachers : '' are really excited to buy supplies they usually have to pay for out of their own pockets. Teachers schoolwide will pool their funds to buy a laminator, then the five first grade teachers plan to purchase additional manipulatives to implement their new math program. We've had insufficient funds for two years and this will provide a big boost." At Washington Elementary, fourth grade teacher Dorothy Pratt says teachers there appreciate the direction legislators are taking and hope it continues. "Teachers will purchase basic materials anyway, with their own money, but this will help. Fourth grade teachers arc getting bulletin board materials for science units in botany and solar systems. Some funds will purchase paperback books to stock reading corners in the library, curriculum materials for critical thinking and math manipulatives." English teacher Karen Moore at for particular units, workbooks and materials supplementary planning books." Bryan Stephens is planning for software for computer systems or wood shop tools. At Clearfield High School business teacher Boyd Whitesides says, "I plan on getting simulation packets for working in a bank and hope to get subscriptions of the Wall Street Journal for my economics class."

Magna Times -- their boundaries Quilts extend - PARK CITY -- Thread and cloth are joining brush and canvas as resident recognized tools in the art world, says Wendy Lavitt, part-tim- e of Park City, who has compiled a book on Contemporary Pictorial Quilts. Thirty-fiv- e quilts from her book will be on display at the Kimball Art Center during the month of October. Pictorial quilters offer "new definitions of the nature of a quilt," Lavitt says. Quilters are "no longer content with the concept of a quilt as a utilitarian object, dependent on function." They use new techniques images, and "involving asymmetrical contours, unusual collages of materials" to extend their previous boundaries. "They revel in the sensuality of fabric. ..which gives them an touch confines of opportunity to go beyond the painting." One quilt to be displayed "Joy in the Journey" reflects the splendor of the Grand Canyon. Another jquilt, "The Miracle of the Seagulls" depicts the adversity of the Mor.tnon pioneers when crickets devoured their crops. A third quilt titled "We Give Thanks," pictures Pilgrims and Indians at a Thanksgiving feist.

Let that be a lesson to you former Ron of GRANTSVILLE chief Skinner, police for Grantsville City, entered into a diversion agreement on misdemeanor theft charges. Under stipulations of the settlement, Skinner cannot work as a law enforcement officer in Utah for a period of one year. However, his certifications as a lawman in the states of Wyoming and Montana are unaffected. Skinner resigned as Grantsville's police chief on May 22. On May 25, class B misdemeanor theft charges were filed against him by the Tooele County Attorney's office. Court records claim that Skinner charged a softball and bat to the city account, but that the goods were never utilized by the city. It was alleged that the ball and bat only appeared at Grantsville City Hall after the defendant came under investigation. Skinner was also charged with collecting $45 in animal impound fees while working for Grantsville City, which he allegedly did not turn in until investigators questioned him about the monies. Upon being queried about the fee, Skinner purportedly turned over the $40 to the City, insisting that was all he had collected. "Mr. Skinner's problem was that he was too loose with city monies," said the deputy attorney for Tooele County. "I hope other city or county employees get the message that they must be completely scrupulous with public funds."

A local convenience store reported that an older couple, driving an motor home, with unknown license plates, heading an unknown direction, had driven off without paying for gasoline they had pumped. Officers were advised and observed several thousand suspects matching the description. An Arizona man was arrested in a local drug store for intoxication charges. The gentleman was standing in the store with the assistance of a display counter. At the time of arrest, he did not know his name, where he lived, or where he was at the that time. He was taken into custody to get time to reorient himself.

By PAUL CHALLIS With a BOUNTIFUL housing shortage currently being experienced in Bountiful a new proposed subdivision has caught the eye and attention of city officials. In an effort to help alleviate the housing problem, the City Council has set a public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. to Smoke a 1 in Clearfield hapPolice follow-u- p about 50 percent of the time. pens But Bountiful Police Chief Larry Higgins said his department lacks the resources to contact have stores where violations occurred. "We have not gone out and made a personal visit to each one of the facilities, he said. Perhaps we ought to. Ive kind of felt it was a situation where the health department has been by and talked with them, and I felt that was sufficient. But if everyone else is doing it, maybe thats something we ought to do. Another problem, cited by Higgins, is that Bountiful has a lot more retail outlets than Centerville, North Salt Lake and Woods Cross cities where officers not only follow through but accompany the decoys and health officials on the sting operations. Mace FROM A-- 1 classrooms were not affected by the incident. School officials called parents about the incident. Baker said it was left to parents to decide if their children would come home or continue attending classes. Some parents were critical of the school for not evacuating the building sooner and cancelling classes. But Stell said the criticism was unfounded, noting the schools decision was better than having 800 students running around looking for their parents. After consulting with district A-- 3 tored in the most recent sting, only 42 sold tobacco products to minors. Were very excited about that, Condra said. Wed like to take credit for that, but we are only a part of it. Police and store owners deserve much of the credit, he added. Store owners are becoming more actively involved in training and less tolerant of employees who repeatedly sell to minors. A clerk in Clearfield, for example, who sold cigarettes to a youth decoy twice in two months was fired. Other workers have received warnings, and have become much more aware of the problem. Condra said the key to controlling youth access to tobacco products is education and police' I wish Bountiful involvement. was as aggressive in responding to tobacco violations as they are in responding to alcohol violations, he said. Higgins has promised to consider the matter. officials, the student who sprayed the chemical irritant was suspended. A decision on the boys status will be made in several days when all the hype is gone and Baker meets with him and his parents. Personally, I dont believe he wanted to hurt anybody. I think he just wanted to see what it would do..., Baker said. Kent Worthington, policy director with the Davis County School District, said his understanding is that students are barred from carrying Mace or other personal protection devices to school. The districts Safe School Policy doesnt contain language which specifically mentions Mace or such devices, but does prohibit students from carrying anything that could be used as a weapon. Worthington said Mace fits into that category. lyUapferticfgej uAdaft Tues.-Sa- t. 5-- 1 0 p.m. (Take-Ou- Turntable) t r Natures Touch The Holistic Way To Good Health Spinal Touch - Cranial Sacral - Massage LADIES ONLY - Call JOLENE P. 295-797- 0 For Your Appointment KETCHUM, LMT, Member of AMTA Gift Certificates Available FOR SALE Centerville 2177 N.

When police responded to a residential burglar alarm they couldn't find an intruder but did notice a bag of contraband on the coffee table. The marijuana was seized and the caretaker of the residence was asked for an explanation. According to the police report, "Some individuals were having trouble keeping their clothes on" at a Main Street restaurant. One of the perpetrators was eventually cited for disorderly conduct.
