"This route" means the City invests taxpayers' dollars dol-lars in non-essential real estate, es-tate, thereby making the City the "developer." Contrary to what he says, the City can (and already does through zoning) control private property. So, the City does not need to force taxpayers into investing in non-essential real estate to accomplish what he says the City wants to accomplish on Main Street. Instead, the City should create an overlay zone on Main Street to regulate the nature of new private development devel-opment there. I (iordon Miner Let the Sunshine in!

A IQUXOi TC Y Q n Dec. 27, 1944, while we were in the South China Sea, we sighted a small craft and went to our battle stations submerged. While we maneuvered to get a shot at it, the craft turned and came straight at us. We had to submerge, but no depth charges were fired at us. Then the approach was called off. As we took the torpedoes out of the tubes to clean them, 9 torpedo was sizzling with heat. The chief torpedoman told everyone in the compartment to evacuate the compartment immediately, but we watched the procedure through the hatch windov . The torpedo was put back in the tube and fired. About 90 seconds later, we heard an explosion. We'd had a really re-ally close call. The torpedo probably had had a leak somewhere, some-where, and the salt water had caused a short circuit to the battery. At least that's what was assumed. One episode started when a crewman by the name of Gavin did not remember the 0 Sprinkler rebate program aids homeowners Michael Rigert NORTH COUNTY STAFF With drought conditions continuing con-tinuing this summer and many cities in Utah County establishing estab-lishing watering restrictions, residents may be interested to know there's a program that rewards homeowners with cash for installing water-wise sprinkler components.

The rule was that the hatch was never greased on the surface, because the dogs had to be turned in to make sure the grease worked into the moving mov-ing parts. When the worker had the dogs out, a plane came in on us, and the officer ordered a dive. The first man down the hatch knocked Gavin down the hatch. The quartermaster is to grab each man as he shoots down the ladder and push him to the side so the next man doesn't land on top of him. The last man down grabs the hatch lanyard, bringing the hatch down on him, while the quartermaster turns the dogs out to seal the hatch. In this disaster, because the dogs were already out, the hatch would not close, and we almost lost the boat and all hands on it. Some people have to learn the rules the hard way, though Gavin was not court-martialed. cash rebates to homeowners for purchasing and installing water-conservative sprinkler components, said district conservation programs coordinator coor-dinator Nancy Hardman. Not surprisingly, the program's popularity has surged. To date this year (the season runs from May to June of the following year), the district has paid out $8,500 in rebates to 95 rebate applicants. Last year, 122 homeowners got back $9,700 in rebates, and in 2005, 44 rebate applicants were reimbursed $4,000. "So it's doubled, easily," Hardman said. The rebated components include 14-day calendar smart controller clocks (up to $75 depending de-pending on how many watering water-ing stations), weather stations IE ''""i-SMlia JffCiistonhQualiiymi Large Selection of 725 South 900 East Provo, Utah 374-0580 Flowers Topiaries Gifts 437 South State, Orem 801 225-0185 Free Delivery to Utah A Funeral Homes Jewries WttUtrs Center Flatter Stomach 1 laurie, 7ticett 687-2141 all submarine dangers week Gray reports that many A submarine is a very complex sailors. The radar was very vulnerable vul-nerable to the flooding, and numerous troubles developed from salt crystals that formed. Shorted-out motors had to be taken out, the parts washed in fresh water, repainted and baked in the cooks' ovens, so they would hold up. But now we had very little fresh water and no means to make more. I remember taking a spit bath in a cup of water. Of course we could take salt water baths anytime we wanted to, but I didn't enjoy the salty skin afterwards. af-terwards. I remember listening to Tokyo Rose telling us how our Japanese submarines were sinking passenger vessels ves-sels with women and children aboard. She also said that all U.S. submarines in the area were doomed, for the Japanese Japa-nese had created a new secret weapon, and none of our submarines sub-marines would get out of the East China Sea alive. We laughed at these kind of remarks, but after a while, some of the crew got to wondering won-dering if there might be some truth in the statement. We did enjoy the modern American or soil moisture sensors connected con-nected to the controller clock that regulate water use based on current conditions (up to $100), pressure regulators (50 percent up to $45), and low precipitation stream-spray nozzles, noz-zles, bubblers, and xeri-sprays and drip emitters (50 percent up to $100). Hardman cautions homeowners, hom-eowners, however, that the smart controller clocks don't conserve water if they're not attended every few weeks and if the times and schedules aren't regularly adjusted based on weather conditions.

Very shortly after this, we were informed that many of our submarines were entering the Japanese sea and having a heyday in sinking many Japanese Japa-nese ships. In August 1945, we arrived at Midway Island on our way back to the Good Ol' USA. On our way through the Panama Canal, we stopped at Balboa and were given liberty to go into town. Some of the crew got carried away visiting cat houses and came back aboard with social diseases. The liberty liber-ty wasn't as much fun as they had thought it would be.

The total rebate maximum for the program is $250. To receive rebates, homeowners hom-eowners consent to providing water use information through billings March through October Octo-ber to program administrators so they can determine the water-saving effectiveness of the program. "(It's) specifically designed or hoped to encourage people to try different technologies to help them save water," Hard-man Hard-man said.
