Nearly 18 months ago, Gerald (Jerry) Maloney was fighting against the incorporation of this city. Now, he is fighting to become its second mayor. Whether that ironic twist comes to pass will be determined Nov. 3 when West Valley residents cast 1,769 1,688 1,445 972 At Large Brent Anderson Dale Lobato Oren Simmons Randy Bloomquist Virginia Sorensen 2,430 987 728 715 712 universal nearly agreement among election observers that continual reports of their ballots for either the outsider or the lone survivor of the current administration, Commissioner Jerald (Jerry) Wagstaff. Wagstaff ran second to Maloney in Tuesdays mayoral primary and watched as his feuding counterparts, Mayor Henry (Hank) Price and Commissioner Renee Mackay, went down to defeat. Mayor Gerald (Jerry) Maloney Jerald (Jerry) Wagstaff Henry (Hank) Price Renee Mackay was bickering between Price and Mrs. Mackay doomed their chances for The constant squabbling proved particularly injurious to Mrs. Mackays campaign as she fell far below the other candidates, receiving just 972 votes. Relying on a strong show of support from his own community, Hunter, Maloney compiled 1,769 votes to pull away from Wagstaff, who unofficially received 1,688. Price was a distant third with 1,445. The official total was to be determined yesterday (Wednesday) in a canvass of votes by the City Com- mission. Wagstaff Maloney Results were not enter the race, Thomas (Tom) available at press time. Maloney and Wagstaff head a list of 14 candidates vying to become members of the first City Council in the new council-managform of government. In the four-yea- r at large race, Brent Anderson gathered the most votes of any candidate - 2,430. He will be pitted in the general election against Dale Lobato who, like Maloney, used a strong Hunter vote to advance with 987 votes.

Erma pointed out In a recent column, that everybo- dys writing a book. Of course the humorous lady, who inci- dentally got her start on a suburban newsweekly paper, was on- ly joking. She knows as well as we do that only half the people are writing a book. And a tiny fraction of that group is capable of doing so. And fraction of whats an even-tinie- r left will actually do it.

We need the projector to keep teeth in the commission, said decency committee Stephen Allen. spokesman Viewing potentially objectionable movies at City Hall on its own projector was the best of three options available to the committee, Allen told the City Commission. Theater owners will charge $120-15- 0 for a special showing but committee members feel that expense is excessive, he said. The committee also felt that waiting until the first public showing of a movie was undesirable. If we wait until the first night, theater owners will see that the deceny committee doesnt have teeth, said Allen. Added committee member Bill Schaefermeyer, 3585 So. 4840 West, They (theater owners) will test us to the limit. Schaefermeyer told the commission the existence of the decency committee had forced theater owners to curtail sharply the showing of movies including frontal nudity and explicit sexual scenes. This summer has been like night and day compared to other summers at the Valley Vu, said Schaefermeyer of the drive-i- n on 4800 West. The outdoor theater was the main object of criticism from residents who filled City Hall last spring and prompted city officials -- orto pass an dinance and establish the decency committee. But, Allen warned, the arrival of cold temperatures would encourage theater owners to bring in more racy movies unless the decency committee was prepared to enforce the ordinance. W'hen the temperatures go down, they put hot stuff on the screen, he said. City officials agreed with the committees request and authorized the $2,500 expenditure, to be made in two payments. The first payment will be made today (Thursday), said law clerk Paul Morris. Maintaining the projector will be the responsibility of the City Attorneys office, but it will be financed by numerous departments. City Attorney Ron Greenhalgh told the commission that while his department favored the purchase, its budget did not have the money to buy the projector. Commissioners Jerry Wagstaff and Renee Mackay noted that a chunk of the money could come from their legislative budget, where excess funds are available because of the removal of Ron Day from his position as their administrative assistant. Day, whose services were no longer needed by the commissioners, is now serving as a building inspector, Wagstaff said. part-tim- e Since Day is a licensed contrac- tor, his services were needed more by the understaffed building in spection department than by the commissioners, he added. By Tuesday, city officials decided to take the money from the attorneys office equipment fund as well as the auditing, police and budgets, legislative department Morris noted.

The district is carrying the banner for other Salt Lake County school districts and taxing entities, claiming that the countys failure to deliver the funds promptly is costing taxpayers because the district must issue tax anticipation y notes to handle operations. The suit also charges that the district could be making money by investing those funds rather than paying out money in interest. In another matter involving litigation, the board learned that Judge Winder has ruled in the districts favor on a lawsuit day-to-da- demanding that kindergarten children be served lunch. That decision could still be appealed Fisher through reported. Board members approved a recommendation for reapportionment. Final action on the matter will be taken by the County Commid-Octobe- r, mission. The will result in areas west of State Street sending three representatives to the board and those east of that area, two. Legal opinions from several sources in response to a board members question about tem- porary boundaries indicated that that is not a possibility, which means that all five seats should be up for grabs in 1982, though three members would still have two years remaining on regular terms. District 1 will involve the area east of Highland Drive, while District 2 is the area west of Highland and east of State. There are some irregular jogs in District 3 to solve population requirements. The west boundary is 3200 West, except for a small portion in the southwest corner of the district and a slightly larger area in the northwest. Districts 4 and 5 are divided along 4100 South. Once the county completes its reapportionment, there may be some voting district considerations that will result in minor changes, a spokesman for the administration reported. The plan was termed by board members as the best possible option available. by Jim Cornwell vertisement for a firm thats looking for authors to write childrens books. Their ad paints this as a great field because kids are looking for replacements for the old standbys. Our first thought was that writing such a book would be challenging because youd have to avoid writing down to the youngsters. But on second thought we realized that isnt a problem at all. The real crux of the matter would be writing something sufficiently intelligent to hold the attention of kids. Once todays precocious theyre rs theyre beyond being amused by furry caterpillars, beavers, slinky cats and centipedes with corns. So it required but a moments contemplation to realize we buck-toothe- d werent qualified to write childrens books. However, since Erma felt everyone was laboring, mentally or actually, to concoct the great American novel, we carried that proposition on to a conclusion. If not a childrens book, then an adult book right? And if an adult book, on what subject? Use - your imagination - thats what most writers do. With that we roughed out a few plots. One concerned a devil-may-ca- racing car driver who threw caution to the winds as he zoomed around the Indianapolis Speedway because the woman he loved didnt love him and he suspected he had a terminal malignancy but wouldnt consult a doctor because he didnt want to know. Somehow we couldnt get into the spirit of that one. Perhaps because weve never even sat in a high powered racer, cant stand driving too fast and have only seen the red brick Speedway from a passing train. We then gave some thought to writing about a housewife whos become a waitress to keep food down-on-her-lu- on the table. Shes married to a who neer-do-we- ll cant hold a job and spends his days in an alcoholic haze. But after a good deal of wrestling with this plot, we gave up. For one thing, we couldnt portray in decent language how a waitress feels when some jerk chews her out because the spinach is Besides, what man in his right mind would attempt to reflect in the printed word how a womans mind behaves? Men should write about masculine things and leave feminine ones to the gals, we over-cooke- d. decided. Subsequently, weve been told by several people that such a profound thought may have been the wisest decision we made in the entire sequence of We then considered doing a yam about a human fly whos climbing up an enormously tall building and, while passing by a window, sees a murder being committed. As a plot, we had the eyes of the killer meet those of the climber so theyd remember one another. book-writin- blood-curdlin- g Perhaps this book had possibilities, but well never know. Were frightened by heights and as the murderer leaned from the window to shoot at the climber, it all became too scary. Imagine being stuck to the building with those suction-cudevices most such climbers wear while crowds gather 60 stories below to watch the bullet strewn action. It wouldve been a great Hitchp cock movie, though. Finally we considered the one about something we understand. Heres a poor but honest newspaperman trying to earn a living through his reportorial ability and finding the path to the information he needs blocked by dishonest politicians fearful of exposure. This book, though, perished on the rocks of reality. In more than three decades of newspapering we havent encountered more than a handful of authentically logical book And as it dishonest office-holderturned out all of em were struggling to protect something that wasn't worth the effort - a relative pittance in monetary terms. Concluding youd probably have to have first-haninformation to write on that subject too, we wadded up the poorly-type- d s. d first page and sat in contemplation of all wed found we didnt know about books. Finally we decided to dash off a brief note to Erma: Even if everybody else is, we arent. Period. |
