Although Ludlow earlier said the Nightingale subdivision would install blacktop within the subdivision area, he reported he is now getting a mixed reaction from homeowners there. Some of the owners are for having the roads paved, and others are not. Ludlow said some of the owners were under the impression the town had changed its position and was planning to blacktop the area rather than have the subdivision owners do so. Mayor Kevin Young (SEARCHING FOR DROWNING VICTIM Search and rescue teams both Juab and Utah County Sheriffs department comb the water for the body of Darrell Carter, 31, in Mona Reservoir said he had heard the same rumor, but did not know what had started it.

Juab County Sheriff Dave Carter said searchers had done all they could to locate the body of Darrell Carter, 31, Mona. On Tuesday morning, said Carter, rescue workers from Utah County joined in the search. The body was located in approximately 12 feet of water within swimming distance of shore about 2 p.m. on Tuesday. The dogs Utah County Sheriffs Department brought to the site helped us pinpoint the area, said Carter. Darrell Carter had been missing since Sunday evening when a wind storm which also wiped out electricity in Mona, Nephi, and Levan, whipped the waters of Mona Reservoir and over- - boat-Darre- ll Carter hanging on to the side and drag- was riding in. We had a Millard County aircraft here first thing Monday morning, said Carter. Sanpete County divers joined search and rescue crew members from Juab County as they searched the murky waters. Searchers from Juab began looking for the missing man at approximately 7 p.m. Sunday and searched through the night continuing Monday until the lightening began striking at 8 p.m. Monday evening. It was the high winds which moved through the area on Sunday evening which caused the problem in the first place, said Carter. There were a group of aluminum four in a small The wind Carter. said boat, came up and the waves got high, he said. Darrell Carter and his companions decided to head for shore. The waves began swamping the boat, said Carter. The boat overturned and the men began swimming alongside the boat 14-fo- ot ging the boat with them as they went. The boat never did completely sink, he said. Darrell Carters companions said he was swimming with them and clinging to the boat when they were approximately from shore. When they reached shore they looked back and just his hat was floating on top of the water, said Carter. Darrell Carters companions began frantically diving to try to find him. They did that for about 30 minutes until they were exhausted, said Carter. The Juab County Sheriff Office was then contacted and Carter summoned his searchers. Waves were breaking two feet high on the shore when we arrived on the scene on Sunday, said Carter. We had six deputies, 24 search and rescue members, six citizens, and divers and began wading, said Carter. They set up a line from the beach from one cove to 50-fe- et the other, and searched from shore out. The divers took up the marked line and continued the search. Then, said Carter, a drag line was suspended from two boats and the bottom was searched using that method. On Sunday night we had three boats on the water, said Carter. All night, members of the search and rescue team drove vehicles along the shore and used powerful search lights to try to find Darrell Carter. By Sunday evening, 50 people were helping with the search. The number was high again on Monday, said Carter, with another 50 or so helping. The hope the man might have made it to shore diminished as the night wore on.

The dust is really bad when traffic moves through there. The normal dust problem will undoubtedly be worse when the connecting roadway is opened, said Young. Ludlow said he would not be available for the next two weeks and asked that a meeting be set after that period of time. As soon as a date and time is decided upon for the meeting, the council said they would send an official letter ofinvitation to each homeowner. Ken and Diana Taylor met with the council to discuss the growth of their dog kennel business. Some complaints about the dogs barking and disturbing neighbors have been received by the council. The agreement was that ten dogs would be the maximum number held in the kennel at any one time. seven females in their kennel at any given time. The Taylors raise Samoyed dogs and, according to them, their business has been so successful they had already decided they needed to expand to another location. Councilmember Craig Allred reported that the Planning and Zoning committee plans to hold a public hearing at the town hall June 7th at 7 p.m. We are wanting some public input to develop zoning for the towns master plan, said Allred. Some inquiries concerning the placement of new homes in parts of the undeveloped areas within the city limits have been received by P and Z. These areas will be looked at and proposed roads to serve the areas will be studied. The council said they would like new development to follow the basic grid pattern of the town and would welcome the opinion of citizens regarding future town Continued on page 5 Heidi Jensen, 1994 Red Taged Again...

By Myrna Trauntvein Times-New- A red s Correspondent tag on the public safety building required a meeting of the county building authority and resulted in several decisions made by that group. It has been determined that any change orders coming through on the new public safety building will have to be approved by the Juab County Building Authority board. In addition, attorney fees for the project will not be paid to an outside attorney by the county in the future. The county attorney, Don Eyre Jr., will serve as the attorney for the project and will work to represent the county and the building manager. We are having a $500 test made to determine if placing other material inside the cement block at the public safety building will raise the walls to meet the four-hotest, said Ike commissioner. Lunt, Verl Wilkey, reported the Juab ur County Commissioners at Mondays commission meeting, The foam (to be placed inside the concrete blocks) doesnt bring the wall up to the four-hocode, said Lunt. He said the block must meet a four-hou- r code to meet state codes. Wilkey, serving as building inspector for the county and working under Craig Pew on the public safety building, said the wall construction did not meet fire safety code. Foam, apparently, can melt inside a wall after two hours and so does not meet the code. The architects specs were faulty, said Gordon Young, commissioner. It is new technology. The type of wall proposed will code and is good meet a two-hofor a building by itself but is not good for buildings hooked together nor for a cell area where people are confined. This will not cost us a lot of time, said Young. There is plenty of work on the project to last until Tuesday, said Lunt.

The county facility is being built on land located in extreme south Nephi. A different wall was designed for the facility when the architects first planned the facility. Then Juab County Commissioners had to trim the project because all bids, came in several thousand dollars over project funds available. The new wall design was determined to be a savings to Juab County. However, the wall type had not had extensive testing to determine some of the factors when it was first decided upon. We are hoping we can use earlized vermiculite to fill the block, said Joseph Bernini, county commission chairman. The material should pass the four-hou-r fire test code. The test should be done by Wednesday. Nothing has been placed inside the concrete block walls, said Bernini.
