Show (?0Mm,ent4 . . . Moab Movie Committee .embers have been walk-tg walk-tg on egg shells this week i fear that something ould come up to changj le plans of MGM Studios i filming work on' their roduction, "Wild Rovers," i the Moab area. But it appears that all well, the weather eould-'t eould-'t be more perfect, and .ie work will proceed as ;heduled. It's a pleasure to have 1m location work going on a the community again. . film company in town lways lends a certain mount of excitement to hings, and we are sure lis one will be no excep-on. excep-on. We hope MGM finds oab to their liking. SJT Watching Thorn Con-truction Con-truction Co. crews pour-ig pour-ig curbs has been an iteresting pastime this reek for sidewalk super-utendents. super-utendents. They have eally been putting down oncrete, taking advan-age advan-age of the warm spring-ke spring-ke weather. Our only regrets in see-ag see-ag the improvement work oing forward, is that the lans did not call for in-lusion in-lusion of sidewalks while iiings are all torn up. The lack of sidewalks in he community is unfor. .mate, and is an over-Ight over-Ight that will eventually ave to be corrected. But ie work being done how ill make a big difference 1 the appearance of the )wn. It's nearly 20 years ince Moab went through ;s most hectic period of rowth, and we're still rying to catch up with hings. SJT For over a year now, we lave been urging County Commissioners to get on vith their intended job of :ompleting action on the County master zone plan i plan which has been virtually completed for all if that time, awaiting only he final stamp of appro-'al appro-'al by the Commission. And we haven't had any nore luck getting them to ict on this matter, than Tack Olson of the Utah Taxpayers Assn. has had n getting their account-ng account-ng straightened out to his latisfaction. Maybe Jack and thia vriter are using the wrong rpproach. Perhaps in this case, reverse psychology would be in order: OK, fellows, don't pass ;he darn zone plan. Wo ion't care if the valley jrows up in a tangle of ihanties, junkyards and .veed patches. Why should care what things look ike in twenty years we probably won't be here :o see it anyway. Besides, those experts we paid so much money to do the planning plan-ning for us don't know anything about land utilization utili-zation especially OUR land. |
