Show Page Millard County 2 USPS s (fimunumts Thurs Nov IB I’m really feeling cranky this week So what is new you all say? Well I’m crankier than usual It started Saturday when we were finishing the siding near the peak of the roof in the wind and rain without the bencf of my good aluminum extension ladder I was teetering at the top of a poor excuse of a ladder hanging by my fingernails while Dennis was dangling over the edge of the roof Dennis caught a nasty cold but I kept warm because I was do damn mad about the ladder I would be delighted to report next week that the ladder had reappeared but I have lost a lot of faith in humanity and I doubt the ladder and will ever meet up again Add to that the bitter cold weather which I detest and 21 shopping days until Christmas and those are a few of the contributing factors to my crankiness And if that isn’t enough things have been less than delightful at the Chronicle Progress this week Marge is off Mark’s basking in sunny California camera caught the flu and all the 29 1984 u t o It special projects we had planned for the paper this week went astray for some reason or another We had to leave out five columns Oak City Deseret Kanosh Holden and Sutherland The five of them almost filled a page but we didn’t have the other page to go with them so they are being held until next week We really appreciate the work our correspondents do to prepare the columns and hate to have to hold them over after they have worked hard all week to gather the news but this has just been one of those weeks Community Calendar Nov 30 Eleanor Skidmore 80th Birthday Dance M E Bird Center Delta 11 is a push button My friend is going to the “body shop” where she lies on the couch and the machines exercise her arms thighs etc and it is doing wonders for her She has a “push button life” a beautiful home where she can push a button and her washing is done she has to bend enough to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer She can push a button and her dishes are washed and dried to perfection With only one hand she can open the freezer door take out some packages put them in the microwave and her good dinner is prepared My friend’s mother didn’t have the opportunity to go to a “body shop” She didn’t really have the time nor the need if one could have been found She had to mix the bread making a well of flour on the kitchen table pour in the potato water yeast and with her arms and nearly all the muscles of her body knead the mixture into a lump of elastic living dough Don’t malign Las Vegas of any city in the nation This membership includes over 60 LDS Wards The LDS church is building a Temple in Las Vegas We are not all crooks!

An old adage goes that one should believe nothing what one hears and only half of what one sees In truth the Delta City Council in the meeting of November 5 reviewed the bids from the three local car dealers The Council did not accept any of the bids because this items was not on the agenda for action During the meeting the City Council its long standing did emphasize preference to buy from within Delta City since the businesses within the City are those who provide sales tax to the City who pay Delta City property taxes and who acquire a Delta City business license The City Council’s preference is not being acted upon out of spite or malice because of some past circumstance or event The City Council is above this anfl acts to best serve the Citizens of 8 pm Stacy Adams Jake Rogers wedding Kenneth Adams’ home reception Sutherland Dec 1 Community Yule Fair Delta Art show Openhouse Fillmore Library pm Santa arrives in Fillmore at American Legion Hall 10:00 am Dec Painting Show Fillmore Library Dec 2 “Messiah” Delta High School Auditorium 7:30 pm Delta Communit Church opens Advent Season 9:00 am Dec 3 Deadline for ASCS ballots Dec 5 “Lights On” Zions Bank Fillmore 5:30 pm Delta Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas Party Dec 6 Delta Fine Arts Christmas Party 7:00 pm Dec 10 Delta Area Chamber of Commerce Welcome Council “Goodie Ex1:00 pm change” Dec 12 Stage of Loss seminar 7:30 pm Fillmore Public Safety Building Dec 24 Deadline for for EMT course Jan ' world She mopped her linoleum floor on her hands and knees She didn’t have a vacumn cleaner so she carried her rugs to the wire fence where she beat the dirt away with a broom handle She did the sewing for the family by pedaling the sewing machine with her two feet and all the muscles of her legs After lifting eight “batches” of wet clothes through the suds the rinse and the bluing she carried the baskets of clothes to the clothesline in the back yard where she stood bending and reaching with her arms until she had hung a dozen shirts twenty diapers twelve pairs of underwear wrestled uncounted sheets towels dish towels and blue overalls on the clothesline in the wind In between time she weeded the garden planted petunias carried water to the chickens prepared three meals washed the dishes grateful for a bed at night that didn’t jiggle Delta City But why consider a bid $298 above the lowest bidder - not the reported $400? The policy is that suppliers outside of Delta are nonpreferred bidders and when their bid price is low bid the lowest preferred bidder or Delta business shall be granted the opportunity to meet the low bid The Delta business has 72 hours to accept in writing after these conditions notification Because the bidders were not aware of the preference policy the City Council felt that none of the bids should be accepted during the November 19 City Council Meeting Instead the Council felt that the bid invitation should be let again to all parties who might be terested in bidding and to have the bid advertised in the local announcement newspaper This policy is designed to be fair to the City businesses and allow outside business to compete The City Council appreciates businesses in our area like Alldredge Equipment and hopes the business climate in our area stays viable and contributes to a healthy economy sJim C Allan City Manager 8 EMT course starts in Delta Westernwear for the Entire Family Milled County The Chronicle Process USPS (MU twry Publisher Editor - Boots Dutton Sutan Editorial Barton Marge Reporter at for the littlest guy up Sizes & Styles to fit the Fillmore Editor Managing Amott Mark Large Advertising Dutton Shellie Dennit Production whole family Tony Lama Starting at Detign Salet Ashbrook Fillmore Office Manager Evelyn Mallet Accountt Deb Greatboute Receivable Riley Wood Legal Ward Acme CirculationComp Commercial Jane Printing & Durango from $3995 Beckwith 00 in county for 00 out of county for SubKnptiont in advance year SI 00 6 monthi year centt Single Copy Send Addrett changet O 249 Deha lain I Car & Truck Repair Now Open In Delta CUSTOMER SATISFACTION 111 East Main Delta is the foundation of our business Westernwear Willi Ph: 8644651 StnS''' completely TZH £ Rancher Cafe 171 West Main Delta Ph: 864-274- 1 Mexican Food Nights - THURSDAY - FRIDAY Additions to the MEXICAN CRUISINE: Burritos Chili Releno Quesadilie Pina Coladas TUESDAY & Prime Rib WEDNESDAYS Pizza & satisfied with the service and personal care that your vehicle receives from us please call us immediately THURSDAYS MONDAYS Pizza Diesel Foreign Domestic Jolley’s to Utah I4C24 m Fdhnorr IT We Do Any $9995 Billing Circulation Julie 'odetl Prime Rib & Mexican SATURDAYS Italian Pizza We Still Feature Our Regular American Menu Specials are served from 6:00 pm until Midnight 279 East Main Delta - Ph: 864-291- 7 HOURS: Monday thru Saturday 8 am - 5 pm |
