By DONETA GATHERUM FARMINGTON - The newest addition to the Horticultural Farm in Farmington is a 16x50 foot solar heated classroom with three large green- houses attached, the new building is designed to be heated entirely by solar energy produced by the greenhouses. THE CLASSROOM will be used for gardening classes built around home greenhouse construction and use. With the new greenhouses, gardeners can also study home gardening year around. Classes will start in November with a majority of the classes being taught during the winter months of January through March. THE GREENHOUSES were by the Davis constructed County Community Action Agency to help extension service personnel teach family Emphasis will be placed on the teaching of cost effective gardening, to de- monstrate the extension of harvest periods of fresh vegetables and to teach energy conservation. The new greenhouses cost $1,000 to $2,000 each to construct. THEY WERE designed by Dr. Wayne Ringer, Extension engineer at USU. The builders were Rudy Puzey Construction Come pany.

WHITING believes a good practical greenhouse can be build by a homeowner for several hundred dollars. In the future solar hot beds will be constructed along the south wall of the greenhouse-classroobuilding. Hot beds are used to start bedding plants and some vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers from seed. Mr. Whiting believes it is very wise for every home gardener to construct a hot bed. Seeds can be purchased at a very reasonable price. A good hot bed would only cost about $50 to build. The operating expense is almost nothing. h, ACCORDING to Utah GOP Chairman Charles Akerlow, Mr. Peresich will be responsible for supervising the partys voter identification, registration and turnout activities, and for providing candidate campaign targeting data. THE GREENHOUSES will be in operation raising vegetables from September to late He previously supervised the partys 1982 candidate recruitment and political education activities. MR.

The wall space is filled with insulation. Windows have panes of triple pane glass. The doors are metal with special insulating material inside the outer surface. The doors close with a magnetic latch system that prevents them from being left open or ajar. THE BUILDING has a back up heating system just in case everything doesn't go as plan- ned. Mr. Whiting says this will probably never be used unless we have an extended period of smoggy weather or a period of very high winds. The extension service will publish times and dates of classes in home greenhouse management, construction, etc. as they are developed and MANY PEOPLE utilize motor vehicles and trailers during the hunt that may only be used once or twice each year. Problems regularly de- velop from this practice, warned UHP officials. People may be unfamiliar with how a piece of equipment might not properly judge the loss of power or the extra length behind their vehicle when passing another car. BRAKES, lights and other safety equipment are often substandard on seldom used vehicles. Drivers may be una-wa- re safety equipment requirements are the same on a din road as the highway. A vehicle driven anyw here in the state, other than private property. must be safety inspected and have a valid sticker. The same applies to motor vehicles (such as Jeeps) being towed. They must have a safety inspection and must be currently registered. Registration law s apply both on and off the highway. THE UHP warns that traffic will be extremely heavy on Friday, Oct. 22. the day prior to the hunting opener. Unnecesis sary travel by discouraged especially during afternoon and evening hours. Highway users during the hunting season should be especially alert to vehicles stopping ' or parking along the road. Also, vehicles are turning oil and driving onto the highway from unmarked, unusual locations. THE HIGHWAY Patrol cautions people who must stop to get as far off the road as possible. Watch approaching traf- fic. Provide warning lo approaching drivers if necessary. An especially dangerous situation develops when hunters attempt to hunt and drive at the same time. They watch for deer, not other cars. W hen road hunters spot a deer, it will often he difficult to move off the highway or 600 feet away from any building as the law requires. A quick stop and a shot from the roadway are both dangerous and illceul. ROADWAYS in the back country present special problems during the hunt. They are not designated for heavy traffic. and surfaces are usually slippery. Excessive speeds, narrow roads and blind curves add together for a combination colresulting in many head-olisions. and people being run off the road.

The Highway Patrol would like to encourage drivers to participate m the KI.DDI program if they spot drunk drivers during the upcoming hunt. REDDI stands for Report Ev- ery Drunk Driver Immediately. and is a State Department of Public Safety project to encourage citizen participation in solving the drinking driver problem. DRIVERS are asked to cull in a vehicle description and location of a suspected drunken driver to the local police station or the Highway Patrol. n LHS Singers Set Concert Monday The Layton High Choral Department will hold its annual fall choral concert on Monday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. in the Layton High Auditorium.

Mr. Della Silva was serving an appointed term. dicating why he accepted the compromise. My wife has lived in Syracuse her whole MR. DELLA SILVA was on an leave of absence during January 1980 when just THE CITY COUNCIL agreed in an executive meeting last week to pay former Justice of the Peace James O, Della Silva back pay since his release from office last January, while Mr. Della Silva agreed to stop his push for Both sides agree the solution is a compromise, but is a preferred approach to pursuing a costly court judgement. THE CONTROVERSY arose when Mr. Della Silva sent a Sept. 10 letter to Mayor Boyd Thurgood charging that his removal from the JP post was illegal according to Utah law, and demanding his and back pay dating from his removal from office. Mr. Della Silva was notified by Mayor Thurgood last December he would no longer serve in his Justice of the Peace post, but according to state law Mr. Della Silvas four year term would not expire until January, 1984. and ACCORDING to sections of the Utah code a judge may only be relieved in mid-terby the State Supreme Court after a review of the State Commission. The crux of the controversy is whether 78-7-- m 78-7-- doesnt like the controversy. Im glad it was settled amicably. However both sides emphasized it was a compromise. Both the Mayor and Mr. Della life and -- th the mayor and city council ordinarily appoint a justice of the peace. Mr. Della Silva and his wife were serving on a mission for the LDS Church in South Carolina. Mayor Thurgood contends that Mr. Della Silva was not to office due to his absence and therefore is not protected by the Utah law governing dismissal of JPs. IF THAT is the case how come I went right back to my duties after I returned, asked Mr. Della Silva. I served from the time I returned from my mission until I was let go in January 1982. Mayor Thurgood pointed out that the minutes for the meeting during which a JP is normally appointed did not show any indication of Mr. Della Silva's reappointment. THE COMPROMISE was reached during a meeting between Mr. Della Silva and Mayor Thurgood before the Thursday special City Council meeting. Mr. Della Silva said he originally wanted to office, upon which he to be would resign the following day. However such an action would demand a lot of unnecessary paper work, so Mr. Della Silva agreed to accept the back pay totalling to $2070. I GOT my point across concerning how Mr. Della Silva, in JPs are appointed, Silva contend that they were legally right. IT CANNOT be overstressed that the city compromised, Mayor Thurgood said, We dont feel we were wrong. However it would have taken a lengthy court battle and cost the city a lot of tax dollars to resolve the issue. Mr. Della Silva also said the cost of the court battle to tax payers was one of the reasons he accepted the compromise. if I FEEL fairly certain I would have won it had gone to court, Mr. Della Silva indicated. Cornell M. Jensen, a Clearfield resident and circuit court judge is currently serving as JP for Syracuse city. Mayor Thurgood stated the city was happy with his work as JP and that he does a very professional job. MR. DELLA SILVA served as Syracuse 14 years and indicated he would accepted a reappointment to office if offered at a later date. Both the Mayor and Della Silva declined to discuss the events leading up to his dismissal from office in January. Mr. Della Silva recently spearheaded a petition to have the issue of electing JPs placed on the November ballots, but failure to meet certain legal criteria invalidated the petition. JP for |
