Many developers spend hours and months, some even years meeting the careful restrictions and analysis now in place in Farmington City. What should have been a simple acre piece of rezoning issue for an 1 PARKING continued from front problem. "Unless the students cars are blocking the driveway and they are illegally parked there is nothing we can do about it. Poore said that some of the students that are loitering around Viewmont are not even students of his school. Many of the kids are from other schools there waiting for our students to get out of class. Poore also disputes Bountiful's claim that 120 stalls are not being used during school hours. "We have issued 100 more parking stickers this year than last. We can ask the students not to park on the neighboring streets but we cant force them to. Poore added that Viewmont has issued more parking stickers than spaces. Sophomores are not issued parking stickers because most cannot obtain a driver's license at the beginning of the school year. "Some of our students do choose to park on the streets rather than in the parking lot in the back of the school, he said. Viewmont has asked students to walk or car pool and is working with the school district to create more parking spaces next year in a nearby orchard. The district has guaranteed us that next summer the orchard will be turned into a parking lot to help alleviate the problem, Poore said. TINGEY continued from front Mormon environment. He went to local schools and attended LDS seminaries. But it was just prior to his mission call as a young man that Tingey developed his personal testi- mony, studying the Book of Mormon while a student at Utah Stale University. I always knew the church was right. I saw examples of it in my family, he said. "But before my mission I focused on study ing the Book of Mormon. I began praying, pondering and searching out answers. It all became very clear and was consistent with had thought. Tingey found his mission helpful what I putting into practice what he learned. He said it gave him invaluable experience and direction, not in only for the task at hand, but in his later work as a mission president, regional representative, Seventy and now in his work heading the Missionary Department. As a mission president and regional representative Tingey enjoyed working closely with missionaries. His experience in the field and his attitude about the church's founding members made it easy for him to sit down with a young missionary longing for home and encourage him (or her) to stick it out. As head of the Missionary Department, he has much less opportunity to meet with missionaries as he is responsible for 310 missions and nearly 53,000 missionaries, working with training, one-on-o- calling and budgets. He said the position, "gives you a real sense of your inadequacies when youre dealing with people. Tingey is involved with all aspects of the department. He said just last week, a missionary was killed in an accident. He also has to be there for the family when such tragedies occur. The assignment involves a lot of property on Glover Fane and the west side of 200 East became not only a neighborhood issue, but an environmental issue. "I get very- emotional when I think of a subdivision going onto that piece of property, said Pat Achter, I compliment the property owners and the developer on work- - "Llnlike other district high school's we are landlocked. Poore was transferred from to Viewmont from Northridge High where he was the principal and there parking is not a problem. The new parking area would add about 75 to 100 new parking stalls. City Manager Tom Hardy said the school and the school districts hands are tied in this situation. "The district (or the school) can't enforce it (parking) and doesnt have the power to regulate it. Since the Oct. 16th meeting the city prosecutor has been checking out the legality of restricting parking to the students on public streets. The idea would allow' local residents to obtain stickers and all other violators would be ticketed. "We are checking into the legalities of restricting parking on these public streets, City Attorney Russell Mahan said. The council decided to table the issue until the legalities could be reviewed. No decision was made public at the Oct. 23 meeting of the council. In the fall of 1994 Bountiful enforced the red zone in front of Viewmont High and warned violators that their cars would be towed-awaThe council wanted to stop the practice of vehicles being parked in emergency access lanes near the school hampering public safety in case of fires or other disasters. "We have the same problem every year when school begins, traveling. Last week Tingey met with mission presidents in the and will soon travel to Alaska, Illinois, Arizona and the Dominican Republic. He Pacific-Northwe- st said in meeting mission presidents, Im real conscious of what my assignment is. Theres a lot of tenderness there as we deal with cou- ples leaving their families behind for these assignments. And when it comes to readying the young men and women of the church for their missions, Tingey said, We want every one of these young people to be successful." The EDS Church is certainly not a Utah or regional church any longer, because of the efforts of the church's missionaries. The church conducts missionary training in 15 localities overseas and the training is the same at any of those training centers as at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, so whether the missionary is from Bountiful or Mongolia, they have the same basis to teach from. Tingey calls the missionary effort, one of the secrets (to the success) of the church. You have these persons who accept a call to serve. The fact people are willing to do that and pay their own way is incredible, he said. And everyone pays something. While the church maintains a fund to help missionaries from the poorest areas, such as portions of Africa, even they pay for a part of the mission themselves, because the church doesnt want them to be a paid ministers. By making a contribution at some level, they have ownership, Tingey said. Even though hes basically home-spu- n and enjoys his family and garden, Tingey said heading the churchs Missionary Department is one of the greatest assignments. Its a position in which you can make something happen and do some good." He said the job is made easier because he has the support and help of extremely compe- - ing together. I appreciate the sensitivity of both to come up with a plan." "I have a lot of attachment to those trees, the creek and the property, said Gary Elliott, councilman. The property in question has a variety of old and beautiful trees along the banks of the Davis Creek. Months of negotiation and public hearings were concluded when the city council voted on a conceptual agreement favoring the zoning change providing a development agreement could be reached. The development agreement would allow the developer 27 lots instead of the 36 lots originally asked for. The neighbors and planning commission had recommended 25 lots. At the risk of being controversial and a bold politician, said Mayor Gregory S Bell, I feel the developers have done a great job. We are being terribly conservative and extraordinarily sensitive to this neighborhood. I dont know the magic between 25 and 27 and I dont think its our place to draw lines on maps. I dont see the basis for eliminating two lots and about $200,000 to the developer unless we have a reasonable basis. Let's make our decision and let both sides get on with their lives. "We wanted to keep the creek and the trees as an amenity as part of the trail master plan, said Gerry Tully, of Tully Design Group, Inc. Landscape architecture and Land Planning. You want a good project and we want a good project. We are exceeding or matching lot sizes in existing zones. We have created a plan that will provide side yards with no solid barrier fence and an open rail fence that will create an open space feeling. Some of the issues that still need to be resolved with the development agreement are the hammer head turnaround areas instead of the normal design; the lack of sidewalks on Glover Lane; and the flood way area. Those will be addressed in future meetings. tent people who are vital to the church, running the department. Between school, military service and work, Tingey spent 19 years away from South Davis County. All but one of his children were bom in Manhattan. But in 1980 the Tingey family returned home, when he was offered a position as general counsel for Kennecott. He believes the events in his life led him back to his roots. Man dies in trailer fire LAYTON The Davis KAYSVILLE Citizens Coalition Against Violence (DCCAV) will hold a Domestic Violence Awareness Open House on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at the Kaysville City Building, 23 E Center, from 5 p.m. The open house will honor the volunteers working with the Victims Advocacy Program and the pro boon attorneys and the other volunteers who have helped as well as the donas who have brought the Coalitions project to build a shelter for battered women to this point. The public is invited to attend the open house. The Coalition had an October 1 deadline to raise funds for the 5,000 square foot, eight bedroom unit that is to be the womens shelter. We did meet the goal so the funds are no longer in jeopardy, said Darlene Galbraith, president of the Coalition. Thanks to the people who donated, we have had an overwhelming response. There was $5,000 3-- 27-ye- ing. May said neighbors told police the victim had been using propane bottles to keep warm. Previously Couturie had set a blanket on fire. That fire was extinguished. May said investigators believe another blanket caught on fire Friday raised by people who mailed a check directly to the bank for the Coalitions account. The coalition needed to have $470,000 in place to begin building. The Davis County Commissioners voted to support the Coalition with $50,000 which made it possible to fill the gap when that money was combined with dotations and the $47,000 left from the grant to purchase the property for the shelter. The coalition also received a $200,000 Community Development Block Grant and a $100,000 Community Development Block Grant. In addition, the coalition raised $75,000 through their various fundraising activities. We have enough to build the building but we still have to furnish it so we will have more fund raisers, Galbraith said. The group is now advertising for construction bids and they should be able to begin construction in 45 days. The building should be up and ready to be occupied by early spring, depending on the winters weather. It has taken the group about five years to get to this point. The group has been organized since 1993 when it was incorporated as a 501 (C) (3) organization w hich made all contributions tax deductible. Galbraith emphasized that money to put on the open house is coming from the Utah Domestic Violence Advisory Council, not out of the coalfunds. The Utah d itions Domestic Violence Advisory Council made the allocation to the Coalition so they could do something to make the public aware of Domestic Violence Coalition Month which is October. Darlene Galbraith is now President of the Coalition Against Violence. The groups has an executive comminee of eight board members who are the governing body for the coalition. The coalition has about 50 members from all over Davis County. Nclda Bishop is the President Elect and Faye Purdy is the Past President. The president term. serves a The Coalition is also funding the remodeling of the house in Farmington for the Childrens Justice Center. hard-earne- two-ye- Scout leader is prepared to 'do a good turn daily Offers tips for volunteering with right attitude Susan Tanner Holmes Contributing Writer FARMINGTON Loving youth and caring enough to help the scouting program is what its all about to Lonnie Fausett, who has been leader to over 125 boys. Recently he received the Silver Beaver award, the highest award a council can give an individual who has helped, served and worked in the Boy Scouts of America. But awards are not what Fausett is all about its building charachave to say the most satisfyter. ing thing for me is to see youth have a good time and go through the growing experience, watching the process of maturing and accepting responsibility and learning leadership skills, he said. In 1969. he was asked to serve as the Scout Troop Committee chair1 man. That was his first taste of old Layton man died Friday morning of carbon monoxide poisoning in a fire at his mobile home. Lance Lindsay Couturie, who lived alone at the Park Village Mobile Home Park, was found dead by firefightrers called to the scene of the 7:42 a.m. blaze. Layton Police Sgt. Dale May said the fire was ruled accidental after an autopsy revealed Couturie died of carbon monoxide poisonA Cherie Huber Contributing Writer scouting. Now, 27 years later, he is still serving. Presently, he is the district commissioner, one of the key three in the district. For the years in between, Fausett has served as scout master, assistant scout master and assistant varsity coach, a Weblos leader and has served on the District Training Committee and as District Properties chairman. "I had to mellow out. At first I had too high expectations of the boys and what they could do, said Fausett. You have to like youth and put up with some of what they're going through. They dont have a long attention span, they goof off and theyre rowdy. What makes someone willing to share their time with others, perhaps at the expense of self and sometimes family? Love and enjoying what he's doing. There are some definite keys volunteers, no matter what the organization, have that make them great, Fausett said. Desire is an important element behind serving. If you're thrust into a situation where you dont really have the desire, you can still get that desire by being organized, having plenty of help and then by working with the boys, and then you cant help but enjoy the job, he said. one-on-o- Seek out training so you can understand the program. A lot of scouting is by the patrol method and if you know what the patrol method is, you can help the boys so they can be responsible and work out their own program. Don't try to do it all alone. Its a sure-fir- e way to get burned out. Use a committee. Use an assistant. Organize your boys or your group. Have plenty of help. Plan ahead. Don't go It's good to plan a year ahead. In scouting, youll have camp and the themes set for each month. You have your group and your guide and get your committee behind you to execute the plan. week-to-wee- Tenure is vital. LONNIE FAUSETT enjoy every aspect of it. you'll, enjoy others. Im strong on outdoors. Anything has its pluses and k. minuses. It grows on you." Fausett said. The opportunity is out there, even in an LDS emironmenl. Step forward and say, Td like to help'. Volunteers shouldnt be concerned if they're asked personal questions, Many prob- lems in scouting, as well as other organizations are caused by turnover. Its like getting a new coach. It takes him longer to develop his program. There are so many basics to leam and its hard to get it right. Beginning in different committees and working through the ranks helps a person learn the basics. Don't sit back and wait to be asked. Volunteer. You won't like every position or job you're asked to do, but it will help you grow and learn. I dont enjoy getting up in front of people. Scouting is diverse enough that even though you wont especially today when there are problems all around us, he said. You need to understand there are concerns and theyre just checking. There are 12.000 to 15.000 regular volunteers in the Great Salt Lake Council, working with 74,000 boys. The Great Salt Lake Council is the largest council following the patrol method in the United States. "Volunteers have a lot of room to grow. Our youth will be called on to step into the stream of society. The years from 12 to 18 move by fast."
