In Miners vllle, Craig Davie and Duke Boningshead are the only candidates lor the two town board seats, but the two proposals for sewer bonds should get the vote out. There seems to be little controversy over the sewer project, but times are tough, especially in farm -lng communities, and there win undoubtedly be some who win vote against the measure.

The well which blew out at 1200 feet of depth Monday, October 24th, was still spewing steam Tuesday, November 1, but the flow bad been reduced to about half through the efforts of the well drilling crew, and CUDD Well Control Company out of Oklahoma. The surprise steam well was drilled by Mother Earth Industries, who were looking for steam or hot water to produce electricity. But we didn't expect anything like this, Wayne Portenova said. Porte nova explained that it looked like they had discovered a pure steam reservoir, possibly like the ' He estiGeysers in California. mated the temperatures at approxi- mately 600 degrees. Portenova, president of Mother Earth Industries, aCotmectlcut based company was excited about the discovery, though even with the help of CUDD, and after pouring cold water and drilling fluids down the hole, they had only been partially successful in bringing it under control.

Because If the bond election Calls, so too win the sever project, sod M is unlikely that another package of loans and grants caa be pot together la the near future. la fact, there Is a good possibility that EPA might step la and build a sever system for Miners -ville at even greater cost, and then bin the city (or property owners) for It. Passage of the bond Issue next Tuesday Is the best possible way to achieve a sever system laMin-ersvil- le, and surely the cheapest way that will be available in the future, even disregarding any Inflationary costs. The Town Board Is unanimous in asking support ofMtn-ersri- ne residents to rot in favor of both propositions in next Toes-day- 's The complete project includes a gravity flow savage collection system for the town, a 7,000 ft. outfaU line from the northeast corner of MinersvUle to the two --cell total containment lagoon about one and a quarter miles vest of MinersvUle. Minersrille has also purchased a $20,000 water storage tank, which they plan to install. S win give them over four times their present capacity. This was purchased and win be installed with block grant funds of $62,500 received through the Five County AOG. Purchase' price of the tank was $21,500. Cost estimates for the sewer project total $1,325,000. Broken down this adds up to $621,100 for the collection system, $114,000 for the outfall line, $338,000 for the sewage lagoon system, $108,859 for contingencies and $143,041 for enand legineering, administration gal fees. Better than half of the project ($788,000) win be financed by grants from EPA, $418,000, and FarHome mers Administration, $380,000.

There win be a program and dedication, followed by tours of the faciUty and refreshments. The Milford Senior Center was built by the senior citizens themselves, with contributions from Beaver County, Milford City, and many private contributors. MaudeU Crane, president, took charge of the fund raising. And through a number of fund raising dinners, bazarrs and private donations, the organization raised over $10,000. Beaver County contributed $20,000 and Milford City contributed the property. With the donation of the old Jeep Patrol building planning got underway. Ben Lepplnk and Warren At-k- in took charge, and with the help of others, mostly senior citizens over 60 --years of age, they built -- -- on an addition 50' X 38 on the back of the Jeep Patrol building which was 24' X 30'. The end result is a building which has 2,620 square feat, and bouses a banquet room 60' x 24' which can seat up to 200 for dinner, make an excellent dance hall, and be used for many other community affairs. Besides the huge banquet room, the center houses a kitchen and storage space 16' x 26', an ante room 8' x 24' andtwo large spacious rest rooms.

Percol Sofiiso oo?o Spoil The Fishlake National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) and Its Environmental Impact Statement have been delayed because they now must address the wilderness question on the Fishlake National Forest. The question is not how much more or less wilderness but "What is the best allocation of land on the Fishlake National Forest?" The wilderness potentials of road-le- ss areas have been evaluated several times since passing of-- the 1964 Wilderness Act. In October of 1982, the Ninth Circuit Court The weU is also complicated by, the presence of hydrogen sulphride, but no lethal measurements have been made and. the gas soon dissipates into the air. But it forced workers to wear breathing systems, in and around the well. According to Ray Gould, they expected to have the drill rig removed Tuesday afternoon, and then planned to move special equipment over the well to run casing and cement the well in. After safety devices are Installed, The cement win be drilled out, and they should have a controlled steam well. MEI has already contracted with Provo City for some of the power, and possibly they win be interested in purchasing more. Others are interested, and Mother Earth plans to develop "ther mineral resources on the property. Union OU Co. orginaUy drilled the leases, but found nothing of commercial value, and were plagued by the poison gas and earth cavities which complicated the drilling. Did you enjoy as extra hour sleep Sunday morning? Far as we're concerned it's the only good thing about daylight saving time. But the early evening darkness dldnt seem to bother the trick or treat rs, who made the neighborhood rounds in record numbers Monday evening. - -- 0 least to this writer there seemed to be more interest in costumes. In past years we've had At difficulty in finding good costumes for pictures. But as youll note in this issue, there were plenty of ghosts, witches, goblins and ghouls. And there were very few sloppy sweatshirts and football uniforms. We feel a lot better about giving up our treasures to pirates and clowns, than to an old pillow case with a sloppy sweatshirt carrying it. - -- 0 We're too old to have been a part of the trick and treat crowd. Back in those days it was more trick than treat. And if we bothered to ring a doorbell, there was no one there when the householder answered. We suppose what we did on Halloween would be called vandalism to- day. Somehow almost everything that was loose on Main Street ended up on the school lawn. And, of course, all the playground equipment ended up on Main Street. The old cow always ended up on the barn roof, or in someone else's barn. Even when someone sat up with her most of the night. Dumping over out houses was a big number and in those days there weren't many Inside toilets. But then that was nearly as hazardous to the dumper as to the dumpee. Especially If you made a misstep on the last big push. -- 0 Of coarse, most of those things were done by the big kids, after the little tykes had their parties and apple bobbin, and were put to bed. We suppose that it's better this way, the little tykes go trick or treating, and the older kids go to the parties. And before long, there wont be - anyone left who remembers how Halloween once was celebrated. -- 0 You 11 notice that there is no grocery advertisement in this issue of the COUNTY NEWS. It's probably the first time In over 50 years, maybe in the almost 84 years the COUNTY NEWS has been in existence. We hope the new managers win reconsider soon, while Milford still has a newspaper. -- 0 The trial over some very valuable mining claims was getting hot and heavy In the old western mining camp. One morning as trial resumed, the Judge said he had an ammniwinanf in ma Ira "Last night, by way of messengers, I received two bundles of cash, bribes yon might can them, from the interested parties in the case. One was for $10,000, the other for $15,000. To be fair and square ,ln this matter, l am returning $5,000 to the second party and win decide this case strictly on its merits. - - -0- - "But I can't marry Daughter: an atheist. John, mother. He's He doesnt even believe there's a heU.' Mother: "You go right ahead and marry him. Between the two convince him we'U of us, he's wrong!' A woman, explaining a traffic, crash to the investigating officer,' concluded: "And then I very clearly signaled that I had changed my mind." E of Appeals ruled that the Roadless Area Review and Evaluation Environmental Impact Statement, the product of the most recent roadless analysis by the Forest Service, was inadequate. A of wilderness potential of road- less areas win now be pert of the .Forest Plan. "This is not a RARE m, said Forest Supervisor J. Lent Taylor, and it win not result la a separate document, but win be incorporated into the forest plan. We win reevaluate all the roadless areas on the Fishlake sad the evaluation win be an intricate part of the forest manning process." In a related effort, the Utah Congressional delegation held hearings this year on proposed wilderness legislation for Utah. Such a bill could decide the Utah wilderness But since the specific question. timing and details of this potential legislation are unforeseeable, it is best to proceed with the analysis now and adjust if and when the Act Is passed. Maps and descriptions of the various Fishlake National Forest roadless areas will be available tor public review and comment during "Open House" sessions which will be held at Ranger District Offices 7 on November 9, 1983, from pjn. The purpose of these open houses is to verify the evaluations. Specifically, since the original inventories and recommendations are RARE n, development activities have occurred In the "roadless areas." This is an opportunity lor the public to Insure that an past development activities are Identified. Interested parties are to in at the nearest stop urged District Office oa that date. 3-- |
