sworn b County Attorney Steve Jackson The pair replace and Harold Stewart in Commissioners Monday as Millard Count Millard County politicians Leigh A serious shortfall in child day care providets has prompted local officials to attempt to streamline license application processes and seek alternative facilities to meet the needs of the county's large wot king mother population “There are at least (X) children who need day care services in this area and it just isn't there” said Millard Counworker Pete ty Social Services Jacobsen Mr Jacobsen and several state and Delta City officials met Tuesday to discuss ways to encourage and make it easier for people to enter the child care business “We hope that Social Services can coordinate the child care application process and make it less of a runaround for people trying to establish themselves as providers” Mr Ja- obsen said state law allows for approved day cate homes to provide for up to 12 ch Idren while a day care center can ha idle up to 40 or more In Delta there are about 13 day caie homes and one day care center local officials were told Tuesday they could not count on state help in solving the growing day care problem ois Rudd State Department of Social Services Day Care icensing Officer told the meeting that her department is way over budget and could not be counted on to assist the local effort to create more day care facilities Mr Jacobsen said that news set the gtoup to wondering what could be done to take care of the problem “We brainstormed about several ideas which we will have to explore in the near future” he said Among the ideas were to investigate the possibility of using church and school facilities as day care centers One of the larger problems in providing day care is in obtaining proper facilities due to restrictions of city and state codes and high capital investment Schools and churches ate destreahle facihtes because of then location m close to users' homes neighborhoods Since schools currently ate not used significantly outside of class liouis the opportunity to rent rooms to a private child care pros ider for ol lending also will provide a financial benefit for many financially beleaguered school districts "Right now all we can hope for is that more people will provide temporary services or babysitting until we can get more people involved in the day care business" Mr Jacobsen said “For our part we hope potential day care providers with licensing and finding facilities" Sand dune poachers nabbed near Lynndyl UP&L picks manager After an eight year stint

prehistoric Utah culture and promote tourism at the same time has been proposed for Clear Creek Canyon east of Cove I ort in Sevier County I ast spring more than 80 dwellings of the remont Indian Culture were discovered on a hill in Clear Creek of Canyon during the construction It was the largest such community ever discovered Now a committee representing five firms who have studied the archaeology economic benefits proposed facilities and the park concept have recommended that at least $13 be appropriated by the state legislature for the project The proposal calls for developing a heritage park and museum on five acres near the site of the archeological which was completely discovery destroyed by freeway construction after excavation Highway construction was to give ardelayed somewhat chaeologists a chance to fully excavate what has popularly become known as I ive f ingers Hill The Tremont culture is one of several in Utah and the southwestern United States which flourished and died long before Furopeans invaded this land Comparatively little is know about the origin and demise of the culture but archaeological evidence suggests the people were highly socialized The Clear Creek find is in fact the first good evidence that f remont culture peoples lived in relatively large permanent communes much like the Anaazi of the I our Corners area So significant was the Clear Creek Scott M discovery that Governor Matheson appointed a task force committee and the special session of the Legislature advanced some $100000 for a comprehensive study to determine the feasibility of a park and museum The immediate park development would include an asphalt “Rock Art Trail” to view the Indian art in the small canyon It would offer visitors a chance to get into the area where the Indians conducted their daily lives It also would give an overview of the f ive ringers Hill area Though this summer’s excavation of the Indian dwellings has been destroyed remaining cultural resources in the It is estimated canyon are plentiful there are 250 different rock art locations with over 500 panels and 6000 characters The feasibility study estimates annual tsit at ion to the proposed park at about 55000 That would place the park as one of the most visited among the state heritage parks Delta Area Chambei of Commerce Business ( bait man Nikki aid Killpack
