Postage PAID LEARF1ELD Clearfield UT. 84015 Permit No. 12 '(lh5d!sDD p' sttoOD omnidloD Owners of the chicken coop" apartments must come up with Volume 0 Number 26 Serving the Clearf Area ield-Suns- July 30. 1980 detailed plans drawn to specifications order will not be lifted, or a stop-wor-k according to Gearfield City officials. The building, located at 627 Maple, is a disgrace to the city, said City Manager Gayle Starks. Located in the same neighborhood as $150,000 homes, the pre-wa- r construction was originally built to serve as a chicken coop. During World War II, with apartments so much in demand, the coops were made into four apartments. The owner sold out and moved to Green River and the apartments have changed hands many times since. Present day owner Charles E. Pomeroy applied for and received a building permit several months ago. He has expressed plans to spend in repairs and turn the $10,000 coops into a fourplex. City Officials have changed their mind, however, and a stop work order was issued. Its my opinion that they have lost the nonconforming use of the property by letting it stand idle for so many years. The citys building and legal departments might have a different opinion on that however, Starks said. The area is zoned R-- l, but the apart Turn ment has retained an R-- 4 zone. The Pomeroys have been very courteous and reasonable to work with, but that area deserves to have that mess cleaned up, he said. A tition passed around the neigh-rhoo- d by the Pomeroys received no signatures. One hundred percent of the neighborhood signed the petition the city went around with, indicating their desire to have the place tom down, he said. The council instructed me to go as far as I have to go to stop them. I guess if that means the Supreme Court of Utah, thats where well go, Starks stressed. The planning commission will require detailed plans for the building and the parking, and contractors and subcontractors must be licensed with the state and the city, according to Starks. They wLU have to make the structure sound, and if they can make it conform I guess the judge will let them go ahead with it, be said. The city received a letter from the Pomeroys Monday afternoon, stating their intention to clean the place up, according to Starks. It has been condemned by the Health Department. Policeman promoted A Clearfield Police officer has received a promotion making him one of the departments three sergeants in the patrol and traffic division. Sgt. H.M. (Bud) DeRyke, formerly the youth bureau officer, has been with the department since May of 1975. He began as a patrolman but was transferred to investigations in October of that year.

The Ashbys presented a $50 check to Mayor Donal.Townley last week. Mrs. Ashby said shelsglad to be the first to contribute. She has been critical of the citys initial plan to tax to finance park impose a half-mi- ll development and had suggested that families might wish to make a on-tidonation instead to purchase trees and shrubs. Her suggestion sparked the idea of A Tree FYom Every Family for the park, said Arlene Maass, chairman of the Community School nine-memb- er Parks and Recreation Advisory Council. The council has worked for the past year on the project and other details of the parks development. The active campaign to obtain donations began with the Ashbys contribution. Virginia Shupe, a member of the council, donated printing services for information sheets to be distributed to every home and business in the city during the coming week. Clubs and other organizations are invited to join the project. Contributions may be delivered or mailed to the Clearfield parks and Recreation Department at 140 East Center Street, Clearfield, 84105. All funds will be kept in a trust account in a bank, to be used only for purchase of trees and shrubs. Mrs. Maass said suitable recognition will be given to donors, and any trees or other plants that fail to grow will be replaced by the city. City manager Gayle Starks noted that matching government funds can be obtained for each dollar donated by local citizens., Mayor Townley expressed appreciation to the Ashbys on behalf of the city. This type of effort makes Clearfield a better place to live, he said. Clearfield City Recreation Director, Roger Thomas, said, We hope that each family will contribute $15 or $20 towards the cost of buying trees and shrubs but any size donation is welcome. We hope to begin planting the park in September, he daid. Trees betWeen 8 and 12 feet tall are re needed, according to Thomas. Included in the plan are such trees as ljttle Leaf Linden; thornless Honey Locust; Norway, Schwedler and Crimson King Maple, Kimberley Mountain Ash (a male seedless variety), fruitless flowering trees such as plum, cherry, crab apple, hawthorn, peach and some magnolia trees. Several varieties of birch and Gingko trees will be used for accent.

Draft registration SSginup coDuttinues with duo trouble By LaVora Wayment As the draft registration rolls into its second week, photos by D . Horner the Clearfield and Roy post young men each day. protestors that have plagued post offices are receiving an average of 0 With none of the demonstrations by anti-draoffices in some of the nations larger cities, the signup continues peacefully. Over 300 had registered in the two cities as of Monday afternoon. They are a small portion of the expected four million who will either register by the end of the week or face a five-yejail sentence of a $10,000 fine, or both. As of Wednesday Gearfield postal officials will actually have registered several hundred 19 and 20 year olds. On Wednesday of each week a representative of the post office visited Gearfield Job Corps where over 400 young men were registered in the two days. 'Although there are no plans by the U.S. at the present time for a draft, those registering to be called in the event one should become necessary, express the concern that national emergency could easily occur. I dont agree with it but its something thats got to be done with situations like we have in Iran and Afghanistan, said Blake Bennett, 18. The Washington Terrace resident stated he had other plans, but they may be changed now. Dart Davis, 18, of Riverdale was of a different opinion. This (the draft) is a bunch of baloney - If we want to go they should let us, he said, but we dont need the draft - we have enough military strength right now to defend our country. Of two different opinions on a couple of the points of the draft were Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Kranendonk of Roy. Registration is okay but I dont like the idea of a draft. Mr. Kranendonk stated. He was there, with his wife, for the purpose of signing up. I think women should register too. They could do office work and free the men for fighting. Reluctant to agree with him, the expectant Mrs. Kranendonk also felt there should be exemptions for fathers. "They should sign up but they should be called only after all other available men have been called. I think every one should go - no exemptions, Kranendonk stated. Kent Sieler, 19, of Clearfield said he feels the registration is needed. I would be willing to defend my country if it came to that, he said. Kent stated he has had three years of ROTC at Gearfield High. I hope I dont have to go but its the right thing to do if it comes to that, said Jimmy Wood, 19, of West Point. He then added humorously, That is if you listen to the old man. 35-4- ar old man, Bill Wood, is a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant. They ought to sign women up too, he said. They could handle supplies. But basically I thalnk they (the Selective Service System) have got the right idea. and nobody with families and all that. Yeah, theyre doin it Right age (19-2- Jimmys THE KRANENDONKS right." which is sponsored by the Gearfield Police Department. He is active in the LDS Church where he serves as Elders Quorum President.

Open house planned Wahsatch Shooters Association of Davis County will hold an open house with free admission to the public on Saturday, Aug. 2 from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. This open house will familiarize the public with the location of the range, the proposals the club is making for the operation of the range, the facilities available (and not available) and how those who are interested in this can help create for Davis County one of the finest rangest in the state.
