Show .1 Vemal brttt Wednasdoy, Jonuory 23, 1985 ByJockWallis Private vs. Vemal City and Utah Department of Transportation have been overly concerned con-cerned with snow removal this year. Even before Monday's dump of over a foot of snow in the area, there has been a problem of where to put the snow. When a snow storm hits an area, it usually is no respector of persons, it fall on the roads, sidewalks and private property alike. Someone said they would enjoy winter more if the snow would not fall on the roads. According to a recent UDOT new release, it is unlawful to shovel snow from private walks or driveways onto on-to state highways. According to a Vernal Ver-nal City ordinance, all sidewalks should be cleared within a reasonable time after a snow storm. For several years there has not been much of a problem because most snow storms didn't amount to much. But this year the snow has piled up and frozen with very little melting. Usually the snow is plowed to the side of the roadways and sooner or later it melts. This year it looks like a lot of snow will have to be hauled off from the streets and sidewalks. Most property owners are pretty good about cleaning their sidewalks and driveways, but when it comes to hauling the snow away or paying someone so-meone else to haul the snow away, a problem arises. The Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce Com-merce has been asked to encourage all businesses to take care of their snow removal. But the problem of removing snow when there is too much to contain con-tain on private property is difficult for each business. One idea that has been suggested is that a snow removal assessment be charged each property owner when snow depths are excessive. The city could hire additional equipment for Two men arraigned on felony theft charges Two persons came before 7th District Court Judge Richard C. Davidson on felony theft charges. Jay C. Meyer, 23, entered a guilty plea before Judge Davidson on third degree felony charges of theft. The charges were amended to a third decree felony from a second degree felony. His case was referred to Adult Probation Pro-bation and Parole (AP&P) for a presentencing report. He is scheduled schedul-ed to be sentenced Feb. 20. Michael Salazar, 19, also entered a guilty pica before Judge Davidson on third degree felony charges of theft. He is charged in connection with the same incident as Meyer. His case was referred to AP4P for a presentencing report. A third degree felony carries with it a penalty of up to five yean in the state prison and a SS.Ooo fine. Patt Griggs, 22, came before Judge Davidson on an order to show cause as to why he had violated the terms of his probation, In September Grip Vernal Express (USPS 6580 B0O0J J 1 4 00 pm fm v4 $29 00 pm otrf of vt fcf I Vml tfim PbkiKj Cr. 54 No" Vfd Arv, Vmol, Uo iZ't S&4 tW potto? p&4 V ivol.

Still, other property owners may have access to snow removal equipment equip-ment and will want to remove their own snow. Then there is the problem of expediency expe-diency in removing large amounts of snow. It is pretty hard to remove all the snow after a large snow fall at the same time or even within a few hours after a storm. Usually first things come first. The first issue is to clear the roads and sand the dangerous areas. Last on the list is the actual removal of the snow. If the depth of snow and the length of its duration was known beforehand, snow removal could be planned. The snow could be plowed from the sides into the center of roadways and hauled haul-ed off. But since this is not possible and most snow storms only require pushing the snow to the side of the roadways, this method of pushing snow works well. This year has been a little different. We hope everyone realizes the extra problems that have presented themselves and are willing to go the extra mile in making our roads and sidewalks safe during this extreme snowy weather. We congratulate Vernal City and UDOT for their efforts this winter in keeping our roadways clear of snow and safe to drive during times when large amounts of snow and cold icy weather has made this job most difficult. Hopefully, everyone will cooperate in clearing their private sidewalks, parking areas and driveways so we can get through this winter without personal per-sonal injuries and property damages that add to the already escalating expense ex-pense of surviving the winter. was ordered to enter into any counseling programs recommended by AP&P and his probation was transferred to Weber County. Griggs violated the terms of his probation when he removed himself from the counseling program. After a lengthy discussion with Griggs about his performance at the halfway house and prior record, Judge Davidson ordered Griggs to serve an additional six months in the Uintah County Jail with a review in three months. Judge Davidson did not give Griggs any credit for time he served earlier. Richard A. Reynolds, 23, came before Judge Davidson for sentencing sentenc-ing on a burglary charge. Reynolds was ordered by Judge Davidson In October to undergo an evaluation by the Department of Corrections. After reviewing the rrport by the Department of Corrections and comments com-ments from the defem-c and county attorneys, Judge Davidson placed Reynolds on II months puliation. He ordered that Reynolds make refutation refuta-tion in the cae and pay a fine of 11,300, Judge Davidson aUo ordered that Reynolds obtain and maintain full time tmplnyment during his period of probation.

ORIGINAL-EQUIPMENT AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIERS Following on the heels of an automotive recovery in 1983, last year's relatively strong economic climate was reflected in another banner ban-ner year for this nation's automakers and their suppliers. In tandem with the approximately eight million cars sold last year, demand for the necessary components was strong as well. More important, current automotive production plans albeit slightly below the similar period a year ago are reasonably good, and we anticipate an-ticipate a continuation of financial progress pro-gress for the parts fraternity in 1985. This is not to say that there are not potential problems or that a plateau in demand could not be reached this year. On balance though, optimism is the watchword. DIVERSE MIXTURE Similar to many industrial segments, automotive components producers are a varied group contain- ing several members with different interests. in-terests. For example, Allied Corp. had been a traditional chemical, fibers and petroleum producer. But in 1983 ALD acquired Bendix and instantly became a substantial factor in original-equipment automotive parts as well. And this is by no means an isolated development. Actually, many auto parts makers have diversified operating profiles. Moreover, some firms in this field serve not only original-equipment, but replacement sectors at the same time. Hence, it's very important for investors in-vestors to be aware of the relative source and contribution to sales and profits in order to more properly gauge the likely direction of financial results. CYCLICAL PEAK? Following the devastating recession, automakers and parts manufacturers in general moved ahead quite well financially. Their success in recent years can be attributed in part to innovative in-novative merchandising and financing programs. Also worth of note, a good deal of the sales gusto following the recession was related to pent-up demand de-mand from earlier deferred purchases. Historically, auto sales levels have been cyclical, and in some quarters fears of the current up-cycle peaking : out have been voiced. Babson's docs not feel this is the case at this time. I lowevcr, it is quite realistic to expect a moderation in unit volume gains in 1085 from the heady pace of recent advances. SOME TKOI HLE SPOTS Today's automobiles quite often are loaded up with sophisticated gear. As a coa'M.quence of this trend, many component manufacturers will be required re-quired to expend increased monies for research and development to stay abreast of the changing state of the art. Another potential problem area is the Inroads of foreign auto components manufacturers. Presently, many overseas companies have established production facilities In the U,S, We do not furrM-e growing foreign competition in the domestic rn.ifketpl.ice t iaurmountable. but it ill remain a a tra?g influence upun the domestic auto components environment.
