It has just been purchased by Dale and Jackie Nelson, who, though new to the area, have moved in and plan to live here the rest of their lives. They have retained the same 12 employees, some of whom have been with the store for as long as anyone can remember. The checkers and Stockers are local high school and college kids, some paying job. Both the Nelsons were bom and raised in Salem, Utah, where Dale was a dairy farmer. He then owned a dairy farm in Parowan for more than ten years. They liked life there but the dairy business was becoming more and more difficult for the small businessman. They sold out and moved back to Utah County which they found had grown too much too fast. They wanted the peace and quiet they Springtime in the Rockies? A third option, and, it is felt the by city council, by far the most ideal, would be for individual citizens to use a composting operation on their own property, thus recycling the organics. Recycling is also an important issue and the city is investigating recycling techniques and collection systems for plastic, paper, and aluminum. The citizens who expressed their opinions regarding trash pickup were very much concerned about the costs involved. Some expressed the concern that a fairly large group of citizens, such as retired folks, widows and single people had no need for trash pickup and yet would have to pay the same fee as those using the services. Miss Manti, Holly Holman was asked to talk about recycling. Her project for her reign as Miss Manti is to educate the people of this community regarding the importance of developing a recycle habit. She feels that a recycling (See "Manti City Straw Pall" on page 10) This tree on the Manti Temple Hill fell victim to the combination of an automatic sprinkler system and the chilly temperatures Mother Nature dished out last week.

When the Crisps (Jean is Jackies sister) suggested that the Nelsons buy Manti Grocery from them so that Morris could retire, it seemed like the perfect solution. They moved down last fall and by January had sold their holdings in Spanish Fork and taken over Manti Grocery. Manti Grocery is affiliated with Associated Food Stores which owns 672 such stores. They supply great training for their associates and the Nelsons are grateful to be part of this organization. Their concern is to be a support to the community. They have one customer whose premature baby requires a special formula which cannot be ordered through the usual channels and so whenever necessary they travel to the Wasatch Front to buy the product and bring it back for their special little customer. Their desire is to give quality service to all areas. Dale and Jackie will celebrate their acquisition of Manti Grocery with the community at a Grand Opening May thru 7. May 3 and 4 will be especially exciting because those days will feature a huge giveaway.
