UT 811C1 Seven persons rescued Seven persons gladly stepped upon solid ground Monday morning after spending d a cold and night on the Great Salt Lake. Rescuers located the 26 Clipper sailboat of Dr. Phillip Spinelli of Salt Lake about 7 a.m. Monday morning but it wasnt until nearly 10 :30 a.m. that the seven stranded boaters were brought to shore. Others in the boat were Spinellis wife, Joyce and their two children, Matt, age 9, and Angie, age 6, Ted Packard and his son, Michael, age 14, and Keith Moll, age 12, a neighbor of the two families. d Three families had set sail in two boats Saturday morning for two days on the Great Salt Lake, not expecting the sudden turn in the weather. Ten of the original group setting sail were on the first boat to be rescued at about 2:30 a.m. Monday by a State Divison of Parks and Recreation boat. When the Spinelli boat had developed rudder problems, their friends tried towing them to shore but the winds were too strong and the tow rope broke. The boats became separated and the Spinelli group found themselves bouncing around in six to eight-foo- t waves. The worst part was everyone was seasick all night long, reported Mrs. Spinelli. The children readily complained about the cold. off Antelope Island in While their sailboat was anchored about a quarter-mil- e White Rock Bay, dozens of rescuers from the Davis County Sheriffs Jeep Posse and the Bountiful Jeep Posse watched the shore looking for pieces of boat, footprints, life preservers or even worse, bodies. One Jeep patrolman reported they expected to find pieces of the boat broken on the rocks because of the storm. The search was hampered by very poor visibility and it wasnt until Monday morning that the boat was spotted. A Hill Air Force Base helicopter dropped a frogman into the Spinelli boat, who in return reported everyone was alright. A Parks Division boat was used to bring the tired crew ashore. It was terrible right up to the last second, added Mr. Spinelli. We felt like the last souls on wind-tosse- fun-fille- "THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" was repeated several times by rescurers brought seven persons back to safety after their boat broke a rudder while sailing on the Great Salt Lake. Joyce Spinelli, center, and her husband, Dr. Phillip Spinelli, far right, were among seven persons rescued. Mayor accuses two councilmen of using character assassination disturbed by the tactics, employed by two councilmen at the Clearfield City Council Meeting, Sept. 12, of diverting attention away from the issues and using personal public character assassination techniques. I believe it important that you know what goes on at city hall. The two councilmen made 3 major charges: Charge no. 1. Mayor lied about and fights the council on the fire station location. FACTS: The council voted unanimously on Aug. 22 to build the new station at the present location. Subsequent to that date, the city manager informed me that the Clearfield State Bank building and large parking lot was available for lease and-o- r purchase, the details of which may not have been fully considered during the Aug. 22 meeting. Such an offering should be looked into because our municipal building and parking lot are presently filled to overflowing. Our space problem has become more acute since the city court became a circuit court last July. I am " Angie Spinelli is lifted out of the rescue boat Monday ning following a rough night on the waters of the Great Salt Lake. ' mor- Senior to Citizen i Corner Vj News from Heritage Center We are delighted to have some new art work on display at Heritage. Our sincere thanks to Mrs. Ethel A.

With the first snow fall, perhaps you will have more time to spend in some class room activities. Please join us, it is always cozy at the center. , Consequently, I asked the bank to submit its offer in writing. Following receipt of the banks letter Aug. 30, 1 called a special council meeting to review the letter contents and to the building At ro tme did the bank offer ground separate from the building for a fire station, or any other purpose, nor did any discussion take place regarding a separate purchase of mere ground for a fire station only. If, however, the council were to consider acquiring the bank property, by lease or purchase, it may then provide a new option for a fire station location. Conversations did take place in this vein which, I am now dismayed to discover, are construed as my not cooperating with the council. I believe, we must have an open mind to at least explore any new alternatives regarding the city and tax dollars, whether a previous decision has been made or not. Charge no.2. Bucking the council on the dog problem issue. FACTS: The dog problem was initially discussed at city council on June 27. At that meeting, I presented a proposal worked out by 3 cities (Clearfield, Sunset, and Clinton mayors) to hire our own dog catcher to cover after 5 p.m and before 8 a.m. time periods ( a service not now provided by the county) at no extra expense to city taxpayers for at least a trial period. The council rejected the proposal. The council was later asked to permit Mayor Sant of Sunset to discuss the dog problem with them at Mayor Sants request. The council agreed. Mayor Sant made his presentation on Sept. 12, again proposing a 3 city dog catcher. Following the mayors departure, the council again rejected the proposal and at that time the two councilmen attacked the mayor for bringing items back to the council that had already been decided. In my opinion, this attempt to muzzle the mayor should have been directed to muzzling dogs. Good results did emanate from this exchange, however, because another coun cilman wisely moved to have the council meet with the county commissioners responsible for animal control to see if a solution to the problem could be found. Instead of letting the problem continueto stagnate, action is now being taken to work on its solution. The council is to be complimented for their actions to resolve this thorny issue. Hopefully, the eventual outcome will be to the satisfaction of the substantial number of Clearfield residents that are now putting up with the problem. Charge no.3. Mayor Townely issues personal opinions and feelings to the press without consent of the council. FACTS: An article, clearly identified as developed my personally guideposts and feelings was given to the press. The reason for this article was to let my constituents know how I think and the criteria I use to hopefully serve more effectively as mayor in a responsive to the needs cont. on page 2 773-706- Falcons plan events for homecoming 78 September 18 marked the kick-of- f of homecoming week at Clearfield High School.
