Some of these offers include going into the teaching field, which he enjoyed, but he wants to stay in Green River. Richard Ryan trasnferred his rights in the Phillips 66 station at Broadway and 50 & 6 to Jody Baker and has taken on the full-time management of the Airport. Jody finished his military service assignment assign-ment of air-traffic controller at Cannon AFB in January, and is looking forward to this new field with enthusiasm. George Weihing and his family have built and put into operation a Taco Time fast-food fast-food installation which is a real addition to the town, and is enjoying a brisk business. And the drive-in movie is open for business again. STARTS GROUND SCHOOL Redtail Aviation has announced an-nounced plans to begin a complete ground school for private pilot certification. This is a milestone in Green River's aviation history. Although Al-though Jim Hurst operated Green River Aviation for several sev-eral years, and did license several pilots, he never offered of-fered a complete ground school for pilot certification. All general aviation ground school knowledge was acquired ac-quired by these pilots on an individual person-to-person basis with Jim. Redtail Aviation has recently recent-ly employed a certified flight instructor with instrument instructor rating. Dennis Hockman has several years experience in the aviation field, including 2,000 hours aviation instruction. He taught for a while at Emery School Aviation in Colorado at Denver, and has recently come from Texas where he was an instructor for a certified certi-fied school there. Jim Bonine will also continue contin-ue to train pilots, as well as fly ambulance runs and charters. This rounds out complete full FBO service for the airport; Jim Duerock is a commercial pilot and also has a mechanic's A & 0 rating. He can repair any plane, then inspect and sign it off for flight. Several students are under instruction, and anyone wishing wish-ing further information about the new ground school is invited to call 564-3412 for details. The opening session is set for July 22 from 7:00 to 9:00 in the evening. CITY COUNCIL MEETS Green River City Council met with Mayor Hatt and all five councilmen present. The main part of the meeting was with the Grand County Commissioners Com-missioners on building permits per-mits and zoning of the portion of Grand County annexed into the city. Keith Burnett presented pre-sented a detailed report on zoning, at the request of Zoning and Planning chairman chair-man Mrs. Pearl Baker. Very few changes have been made in the general zoning of the city, and the Grand County commissioners were pleased with the planning. From Moab to meet with the local group were Leo Burr, attorney William Benge, Harvey Merrill, and Building Inspector Larry Brundage. Also meeting with the council coun-cil were Jess Kunz and Mack Shaw, SEAOG, who are doing a survey of Green River for their Masters degree from BYU. They have been interviewing inter-viewing tourists and business people. They suggestesd that the town should work for a more dynamic public image for the time when 1-70 bypasses by-passes it. Mayor Hatt stated that he was hopeful of setting up an 1-70 Green River Bus- . iness Loop at that time. Fall elections were discussed dis-cussed briefly, with Mayor Hatt stating he would not seek re-election. Blaine Silli-man, Silli-man, Jim Ramsay and the Mayor's position will be up for election, with Ray Sherrill, Howard Silliman and Ted Ekker hold-overs. The new set of ordinances and Zoning Maps were presented pre-sented by Chairman Mrs. Pearl Baker, and were adopted effective immediately, immediate-ly, all legal postings and time allowances for protests have been met. Ken Silliman asked what could be done to alleviate the dog problem, and was informed in-formed that the City has traps which will be set out if the householder will pledge himself him-self to be responsible for watching to see that trapped dogs are not just turned loose. When a dog is caught, a call to Sonny Prator at the Sewer Plant will bring him up to pick up trap and dog. Dogs are held at the Plant for three days then disposed of. If the dog has tags, the owner is subject to a fine for a loose dog, but if it does not, Sonny tries to find out who owns the dog and if the owner wants to pay the fine and license, he can reclaim the pet. This is a new way to handle the dog situation, and sounds like it might work out. Big dogs are often dropped off here, and are tremendously destructive to lawns and gardens. gar-dens.
