Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 24, 1977 Davis Legislators Speak Out For Utahs Landmarks By ROSELYN KIRK Three Davis County legislators are outspoken in their support of bills that will preserve Utahs landmarks. Senator Haven Barlow and Keith Warner are two sponsors of the bill to purchase Antelope Island as a park. SENATOR Barlow also sponsors a Senate Bill which will provide for the restoration of the Kearns Mansion to 'house Governor Scott Matheson and his family. Rep. Frank Knowlton, District 53, says if the bill to move the governor into the Kearns Mansion passes, he will push for a bill to purchase the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Depot as a home for the Utah Historical Society. SENATOR Barlow said 177 would provide for the appropriation of $2,750,000 for the acquisition of the island by the Division of Parks and Recreation. He says the purchase of the island can be justified as a e purchase. He sees some urgency in the purchase of the island either by this legislature or during the 1978 legislature session. Senate Bill one-tim- WE CANT postpone the purchase beyond that because the commercial implications of the island will change." Senator Barlow said the owners of the island are planning a commercial development unless the state purchases the island as a Fred and Nancy Rock serve customers during the noon rush.

At first I was just thinking of a cart with an icebox that we could use to sell sandwiches and drinks. Fred offered to build a cart for me, but then we had a chance to rent the house." It was almost too easy to get it. Fred said We met so many people while we were fixing it up. People came in to see how we were progressing. Weve had some good AFTER they decided on the house, the two thought of opening a place for high school kids. Then they won- dered about a health food place before they finally settled on the delicatessen idea. Both had seen many delicatessens on the east coast and liked that kind of menu. Nancy and Fred have established their duties. Nancy does all the cooking and makes the sandwiches. Fred cuts the meat, takes orders, and does all the general repair work. The name--Fanc- y Nancys is Freds idea. calling her Fancy Nancy and the name stuck. We decided on it as a name for the delicatessen. Fred says ' he still feels sad when he thinks of the sacrifice it was to sell his Harley Davidson to get the final money needed to open the business.

Knowlton is also sponsoring a bill to create a state SENATOR Barlow is not sure the island bill will be passed during this legislature, even though the legislature estimates there will be a 10 to 15 million dollar surplus. He believes the legislature may keep these funds in reserve in case drought conditions worsen. REP. KNOWLTON, who serves on the Revenue and Taxation Committee, also reports that another historic event, The Utah State Fair has been funded for 1977 and will stay at the same location next year. He said the committee is recommending an interim study which would upgrade the fair and possibly provide for a different location for the fair in 1978. He said the problem will be studied by a joint senate and house committee and will during the 1978 legislature I EXPECT we may hold off until June and look at the island again then. I dont think we can postpone the purchase of the island for over a year, he said. Senator Barlow also com- mented on the historic preservation bill, which he predicted will pass the Senate after coming out of the Senate Intergovernmental Affairs committee with an affirmative vote. The bill proposes to sell the Governors house at 1270 Fairfax Road and use the money to refurbish the Kearns Mansion at 603 East South Temple. THE KEARNS Mansion would become the permanent residence of the Governor. This would necessitate finding a new home for the Utah Historical Society. Both Senator Barlow and Rep. Knowlton are interested in purchasing the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Depot for that purpose. The building can be purchased for $1, Rep. Knowlton said, but it will cost $200,000 to get one wing restored. register of historic and tural sites. session.

He arrived at Cherry Hills, located on Highway 89, and stopped to stay the night. There he heard a discussion by LDS missionaries and stayed to investigate. He was baptized into the LDS Church on July 8. Nancy had joined two weeks earlier. In the meantime he met Nancy, who had come to Utah from North Carolina and Oregon. They went riding on the Harley Davidson and then horses. suggested Nancy Fred jumped on the horse bareback was thrown from the animal and broke his back. IT KEPT me here and we got to know each other, he said. Nancy and Fred decided to go into business, even before they decided to get married. They began the remodeling project on the house in October and only took time off to get married. Fred looked at the place and thought it would take about three weeks to renovate. It took more like three months. FRED WAS a student, not a carpenter. But, he says, as long as he can remember hes been building something.
