Show rage two the Springville Herald August 15, 1990 EDITORIAL SSie loves Spring ville! Springville's first woman mayor has proven to be a tireless worker and champion promoter of everything good in Spring-vine. Spring-vine. Delora Bertelsen is a smart, fun lady, who gets things done and enjoys doing them. She surely must spend most of the time that she isn't at work at Brigham Young University working f or the citizens of this city. There isn't a community meeting that slips by this mayor. She is there and she is involved! At the 1990 World Folkfest she was there every morning and every night and in between, doing anything that needed to be done from handing out programs to stapling the skirting onto the stage, to welcoming the audience, to donating a turkey our of her freezer for the New Zealand group's party, to being there with a hug when each festival performing group left Springville to return home. She isn't afraid to work and she knows how. She doesn't let her position decide what she should be doing. She pitches in and helps wherever there is a need. Delora doesn't get paid for doing all these extra things. In fact, the city council members and she get about five cents per hour for the work they do in their assignments for city work. What motivates Delora to put in all that extra time and energy? She loves Springville. She loves the people who live here and she wants to make it a better place to live. And she is doing just that. More citizens need to follow the fine example of our terrific mayor and do something good for Springville. Special improvement district proposal cancelled by city by Karla C.

Smith presented the certificates because be-cause of the exceptional service ser-vice through gifts and work given to Springville by these two men.

Before the crowd left, members of the city council meeting announced that Springville is under orders to restrict the amount of water used every day. The council members said that there are a lot of people who water excessively exces-sively and there areUserious water problems. Council members hope that people will follow this order.

Now, it seems, several residents want to make changes. Councilman Hitchcock Hitch-cock reported the construction crews have been diverted to other projects until the problem can be resolved.

In other water matters, Mapleton is still experiencing some problems with competing pressures from the various tanks.

Deon Dove gets prison sentence Deon Dove former owner of the once-thriving Dove's Happy Service Markets in Springville, was sentenced Monday to five terms of 1-to-1 5 years and three terms of 0-5 0-5 in the Utah State Prison. The terms will run concurrently, meaning they will be served at the same time rather than one term following the completion of another. Dove, of Springville, asked the court to spare him prison time so he could continue to work to provide for his family and pay back his victims. But, referring to three top officials of Timpanogos Mental Health, who are serving terms at the prison for misusing millions mil-lions of dollars of public money intended for the treatment treat-ment of the mentally ill, Fourth District Judge Boyd Park said he could not make an exception of Dove. The Judge noted that other prominent citizens who chose to defraud to enhance their businesses are now in prison. Dove pleaded guilty to eight felony counts in a plea bargain from an original filing of 56 felony counts last year by the Utah County Attorney's Office. Of-fice.

Pleasant, Gunnison, Provo, Delta, Spanish Fork, Richfield, Heber City, Kanab and Springville, locations of the Dove's Happy Service Markets which share sales tax receipts with the state.

In addition to his prison term, Judge Park ordered Dove to first pay the Utah State Tax ; Commission the taxes owed '' and then make restitution to' others as he is able to pay them back on a pro-rated basis. The judge gave Dove until Sept. 10 to get his affairs in order before reporting to the Utah County Sheriffs Office for transportation to the prison. pri-son. State and county investigators investi-gators began probing Dove's business dealings after he filed a Chapter 1 1 reorganization bankruptcy in the fall of 1988.

"The vast majority of the oil we use is bought and paid for 60 to 90 days in advance. T he oil industry won't be forced to dig into their pickets to cover cost increases until some time in September; the American ' consumer shouldn't have to pay more before then either." "In addition, Iraq and Kuwait Ku-wait account for only 6 of our consumption.
