He really enjoys the Recreation and Rehabilitation Program (RRP), which picks him up and lakes him to activities every Thursday, and some Fridays and Saturdays. Recently the RRP went to a show at the Scera Theater. "He's so pleased with the program, because we're getting to the age where we don't care for a lot of things, so he wouldn't get to go otherwise," Comaby said. "He's a kind, loving boy. We sure iove him, and we've learned a lot from Kenneth Cornaby him. He's the only one in our family who hasn't graduated from BYU, yet he's spent more time at BYU than any of the rest of them. He has attended classes over there from the time he was three years old—we took him to classes every day," Cornaby said. The Cornabys are very proud of their family.

Farmers' Market starts this weekend Jen Allen STAFF WRITER Well-known for its small-town community values, Spanish Fork City is a leader in preserving and providing traditions that draw it's citizenry together. One of the lesser-known traditions is the farmers' market, which runs from the first weekend in August until the frost. Harold Olson, a local citizen who sells his produce annually says that he loves the farmers' market. "It's fun to watch people come. It's neat. I like to see people I haven't seen in a long time," Olson said. As one of the farmers selling his produce, he has to follow certain guidelines put in place by Spanish Fork City as well as by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. One of the most unique requirements is that all produce must be homegrown. This guarantees that those who purchase their goods from local vendors are actually supporting local business and citizens. Olson sells various kinds of squash including Hubbard, Spaghetti and Yellow. He also farms cabbage, cucumbers and zucchini, all of which he will sell in the upcoming weeks. Those wishing to purchase goods at the market can find vendors set up at 40 South Main Street each Saturday from between the hours of 8 a.m.-l p.m. for the next three months. Water woes in WH Hilarie Orman STAFF WRITER Will Woodland Hills'NoWater Days become an annual event? Less than a year after residents spent ten days on emergency water restrictions, the city suffered yet another outage of their single water supply. In the wee hours of July 20, the city's emergency phone notification promulgated the call for water usage restrictions. In strong contrast to the 2007 event, this year's failure was handled smoothly and expeditiously, with full repairs and an additional water source in place in less than three days. Salem and Woodland Hills worked together to mitigate the shortage, make the repairs, and keep the affected citizens informed about the problem. Councilman Bob Fisher, head of the city's tiny water department, said it began with an automated phone call to the city of Salem about the low water level in the Maple Canyon tank. Chris Everett of Salem went to the tank and found that it was not a false alarm and called Fisher. Knowing that Woodland Hills was drawing 600 thousand gallons per day from the well and that the city had exactly that amount in its storage tanks, Fisher said that immediate action was needed. First and foremost, the the city needed to have water to address the potential fire danger that summer brings. Fisher said, "Fortunately, with the experience of last September on people's minds, we were able to act more quickly." Perhaps some sleepy Woodland Hills residents turned off their automated watering systems immediately upon getting that early morning call, and perhaps some waited until after breakfast, but by Sunday evening Fisher noticed "magnificent" cooperation. Between Sunday morning and Tuesday afternoon, the city cut water use by roughly 90 percent. In the meantime, Salem arranged to have an external pump augment the small artesian flow of the well, and Fisher worked with Corbett Stevens, a contractor familiar with the city water system, to activate the two small wells along lower Maple Drive. By Monday the city was getting nearly 200 gallons per minute from the lower wells. When the engineers removed the drive shaft from the Maple Canyon well, they discovered the good news, the shaft was not broken, and the bad news, two pieces had come unscrewed and destroyed the threading. Last year's shaft replacement left several spare pieces, and Salem was able to quickly put those into place, effecting a complete repair on Tuesday. In the meantime, Woodland Hills had a county fire truck full of water on site, ready for use. There was also a shower trailer, but it did not have heated water and was fortunately not needed. The city of Salem, which operates the well and draws about 50 percent of its capacity, stopped drawing any water at all until the repairs were completed. Fisher says that he "hopes to sit down with Salem and figure out a spare parts plan" for the well. No one understands why the shaft pieces came unscrewed, and though theories abound, there is no comforting guarantee that it cannot happen again. |
