A bill that would establish less stringent waste water discharge requirements has been passed by the state House of Representatives, but it won't make things any easier for the Central and South Valley Water Reclamation Facility boards even if it does eventually become law. That's because the new plants they're building have been locked into even higher standards than those the bill would seek to change. There are two standards, stream standards and discharge standards. Under the former, it is the stream that must be monitored, not the water being discharged into it as is the case with the later. Stream standards are set up seperately by the EPA and are aimed at making all 3... X I waterways swimable".

Detectives here are continuing their investigation into a at the State Liquor Jan. 27 break-iStore, 150 E. 9975 So. According to Sandy Det. Bryant Green, the suspects first deactivated the building's alarm system, then used some type of heavy hydraulic equipment to force open the doors. Green believes the thieves were intent upon removing the safe, which, he reported, weighs nearly a ton. This was the second time the store was hit over the past month. The first incident occurred just two weeks before and police have reason to believe the same suspects were in- volved. "The method used to gain entrance was similar," Det. Green stated. "It appeared that they were trying to crack the safe on the premise, but couldn't force it open or were scared off before they could finish. They may have come back a second time with the idea of hauling the safe to another location where they would have more time to work n on it." Police officers arrested a Sandy male adult late last Tuesday night, just 10 minutes after receiving a report of an armed robbery at the store, 8500 So. State St. The apac- the Probed suspect, reportedly, entered the store at approximately 11:30 p.m., produced a handgun and ordered the attendent to empty the cash register. However, officers are still looking for a man who held up the Freewheeler Pizza outlet, 8700 So. 1300 East, the following night. The suspect made off with about $300 in cash stuffed into a pizza box. Officers were called to Alta View Hospital Thursday after a telephone bomb treat was received at the hospital. Dr. Russell Sorensen told officer Al Avila that he was attempting to call the office of a doctor in the Cottonwood Medical Tower, but the line was busy. Suddenly, over the busy signal, Sorensen heard a male voice threaten to "blow the place up." Officer Avila and hospital personnel were able to determine that the call was not made on any Alta View line. Based on the possibility that the call was acutally intended for the Murray doctor's office, they then contacted Cottonwood Hospital and the Murray Police Dept. A Sunday night arson incident resulted in $350 damage to a home located in the 12000 block of Hidden Valley Club Dr. SANDY. The degenerating relationship between the Sandy City Council and Mayor Larry Smith received a great deal of ink and air time in the major media during the week. At least one television station aired issues ranging from the council's expression of concern over city projects down without the council's loan knowledge to an interest-fre- e being issued to a developer. The concerns have prompted the council to consider passage of an ordinance giving the city tighter controls over city expenditures. Consideration could be given to such an ordinance at Tuesday's regular council meeting. Smith has publicly branded the intensifying battle between himself and the council as "political-yea- r electioneering," suggesting that at least one councilman will challenge him for mayor, Robert Copier, City Attorney caught somewhat in the middle of the battle, issued an opinion Tuesday that city officials should not enter into contracts unless budget funds have been approporiated by Cupid's Arrow Is Poised For Trip To The Heart by Sherma Lind Yeates MURRAY. Poised and ready for a trip straight to our hearts is Cupid's arrow. At least that's what tradition would have us believe. Young or old, Cupid is ready to turn us all into lovers. According to historians, the first Valentine message was sent in 270 A. D. It was supposed to have been a handwritten note penned by a Christian martyr, St. Valentine, who cured his jailer's daughter. Research shows us that there are various theories regarding the origin of Valentine Day and the tradition of people sending tokens to one another. One theory is based on the belief that throughout Europe during the Middle Ages the birds began to mate on Feb. 14. Still another theory stems from the practice oof the "Roman feast of the Lupercalia," which occurred in February. During the feast the names of young men and women were put in a box from which they were drawn, by chance. Under the plan the young man became the "gallant" of the young woman for an entire year. During the year, the two young people could excange gifts and notes of affection. This drawing took place on Feb. 14, the Day of the Saint. Apparently today's romantic holiday traces its origin from the ancient festival when the bachelor's drew lots to choose their sweethearts for the year. It was an ancient version of "spin the bottle." One thing is certain, until the invention of the printing press and lithography, Valentines were a rarity. Before that a few sweethearts with a flair for poetry and design would have had to pen a few lines like St. Valentine did to make the day for their intendeds. The first record of a drawing or il The bill being debated up at f State Capitol, HB102, would set asidt a 1974 ruling by the State Water Pollution Control Committee requiring polished secondary treatment. Sewer districts were given until July 1, 1985 to install the necessary filters in order to meet polished secondary. Extensions could be granted if a good faith effort to meet the goal was in evidence. The filters will remove more suspended solids from the effluent and, with it, more disease-causinorganisms, about 92.5 percent as compared to 87.5 percent with secondary treatment g alone. Some state representatives, principally from Davis and Weber counties, felt that the additional five percent efficency wasn't worth the cost of putting in the new filters. With the deadline approaching and a number of plants still not in compliance, opposition began to form. The Water Pollution Control Committee disagrees, of course. Director Calvin Sudweeks feels that there is a "definite benifit" to polished secon Sandy's Issues Getting Major Media Attention match went on.

Utah is not like Eastern states and the Jordan River is not like Eastern rivers. Yet the EPA has set a "fishable and swimable" standard for waterways and the only way any city or sewer district can hope to escape that standard, reported South Valley's facilities manager Jack Peterson, is if it discharges into something other than a stream. So. even if HB102 does become law, some sewer districts in Utah may be forced by the EPA to treat to higher standards if the waterway they discharge into doesn't test out to the "fishable-swimablerequirement. That's the position South and Central Valley have been in from the Continued on page 11 to established discharge requirements as well as stream standards and. according to Sudweeks those discharge standards are not as tough as polished secondary. Some people have used that as an arguement for dropping polished secondary. "If the feds don't require it, why should we?". "Those EPA discharge standards are only floor or minimum standards, set up for the country as a whole," Sudweeks answered. "Each state must look at its individual needs. Utah is the second driest state in the Union, the past few winters aside, and when you have less water to dilute the waste water dumped into it, you have to meet a Jordan North Council PTA Honors Six Teachers SALT LAKE.

At iast week's council session City Engineer Randy Taylor said he had approved and completed a project before it received council approval, attributing the oversight to a breakdown in communications. The confrontation occurred during a city council meeting after a councilman "noticed" the completed work at 9220 So. 1300 East that included a retaining wall where land was stuffing at Earl Way. Taylor told the council he thought the line item $11,9000 for 1300 East improvements in the budget was for the retaining wall and he transferred the remaining $32,000 from other areas in the capital improvements budget and the project was completed in the fall. Councilman Dick Adair suggested that the project was actually done as a favor to the developer of the project, who had been active in Smith's campaign. Smith termed those charges "absolute garbage," calling attention to problems in the area that required something be done. "It was a city problem, not the developer's," he maintains. In the midst of that fireworks the council demanded an explanation as to why Smith had accepted an interest-fre- e $7,000 promisory note for fees owned by developer Ray Johnson on a subdivision he was building in the city. The note was evidently issued when a city employee made an error in calculating total fees for the subdivision. Smith said the note was because it was the give interest-frecity's fault the total fees had not been paid at the onset. The ongoing battles between the mayor and the council have resulted in consideration for holding an election to change Sandy's form of government to council-managerather than council-mayoContinued on page 11 - James Shurtliff.
