Show Page A2 Thursday, June 2, 1988 Park-Record WATER from A2 In response to Newhall's allegations, allega-tions, Daniel Schofield, president of the water company, said Gorgoza Pines is not near foreclosure, and that its sale of the land is not an indication in-dication that the company is financially finan-cially troubled. "We sold it for a profit," said Schofield, who feels there are "enough good people on the board of directors to carry the development" and keep it financially sound. He noted that Pinebrook is "one of the most successful developments in the county, and built 30 homes last year. We have plenty of water and plenty of water rights. And it's some of the cheapest water in the state," he added. Further, Schofield said Gorgoza Pines paid a $40 per year assessment assess-ment fee on the shares when they owned them, and the bank will now continue to pay that fee to Weber Basin Water if the action is approved. approv-ed. That fee is much less than homeowners pay, who are assessed $12.50 per month for each share going go-ing to a developed piece of property. The number of property owners in the Pinebrook area, which includes Pinebrook Estates, Sunbrook, The Ranch and Elk Run, exceeds 250, according ac-cording to Newhall. Newhall said the articles of incorporation incor-poration for Gorgoza Water Company Com-pany require that water shares be associated with a piece of property, and that the gift of 1,000 shares to the bank may not adhere to those regulations. "I'm surprised the bank would countenance such an action," said Newhall. "I think if they knew fully well what was going on, they wouldn't have allowed it to happen." His main concern is what effects the proposal could bring, giving the majority of the control to the bank when the homeowners thought they had it. "It would definitely take the control con-trol out of the hands of the shareholders," said Newhall. "The bank would have a preponderant majority." Because the letter states that the company doesn't presently own the water system, and it needs to acquire ac-quire additional rights, Newhall feels it's "in direct contradiction to our understanding" and to sales documents associated with the company. com-pany. But Schofield responds that the bank's majority control is not much different than Gorgoza Pines having the control. "Gorgoza Pines never deeded all the rights to the company anyway, besides, it will benefit the water company because it's never really been put together correctly."

"Do you believe we can pass a bond issue for $1.5 million?" she said. Amanda Peterson, the committee's commit-tee's marketing advisor, said she felt the group had been "very conservative" con-servative" in deciding which alternative alter-native was the best. "I don't consider con-sider it pie in the sky or frivolous. I consider it prudent," she said. "But, I don't think it will pass if is doesn't have the 100 percent support sup-port of council." "It hits the community as wide and broad as the Miners' Hospital did," added volleyball representative represen-tative Allison Child. "The beauty of this one is we've covered so many bases for a low price."

Buckle up the kids! The leading child-killer in America isn't cancer or muscular dystrophy or any other disease, it's adults. Adults who neglect children by letting them ride unprotected in the car. . The National Safety Council says 81 percent of Americans ride totally unprotected; bouncing on the back seat, leaning over to talk to Mom and Dad, waving from the window; tiny missiles waiting to be launched through a wall of glass. Each year nearly 700 children under the age of five are killed in automobile accidents. They deserve a chance to live and you can give them that chance by strapping your children into car seats and buckling their safety belts. Set a good example exam-ple by buckling yourself as well. One study shows that the deaths from automobile accidents occur more in areas with sparse population. popula-tion. For example, a county in Nevada had a death rate of 558 per 100,000 people, while in the Manhattan Manhat-tan area of New York City, it was 2.5 per 100,000. The national average was 18.7 per 100,000. As we live in a sparsely populated area, we should use extra care driving and more importantly, im-portantly, protect ourselves and our children. The leading child killer in America is also the most curable. The cure is in your hands. Please buckle up and ARRIVE ALIVE.
