Show cable and tv listing inside Volume Eighty-Six Speaker says When it somes right down to it, if the Air Force wants the MX missile in Utah, they will have it here, was the general consensus of Ross Stephens, who spoke to the Chamber of Com-, merce, Tuesday. Stephens, who owns Stephens Realty in Springville, said he attended a meeting held at BYU by the military, for small businessmen interested in contracts with the Air Force. At that Mome burglaries imreme 1 5 Home burglaries in cities and other areas throughout the country rose 15 percent in 1980. This is increasing the rational average of a burglary to more than one every 15 seconds, according to law enforcement agencies. And the same situation is true in Springville, Police Chief Leland Bowers said today, in announcing that June is Burglary Prevention Month here. "As a rule burglaries increase when the economy levels out, and this is aggravated by the high cost of gold and silver that is stimulating home break-ins," said Chief Bowers. - "The increase in working wives has made empty homes and apartments on workdays easy targets for burglars. Even mild weather has an impact. "We're noticing too that there is an increasing number of garage burglaries, and we're reminding citizens to keep garage doors closed at all times," he said. '""'Failure to practice the fundamental techniques of home protection was largely responsible for the 170 burglaries committed in our city last year. Most people didn't intentionally invite intruders to ransack their homes, but they might as well have hung up a Council Iniew iiMfcviry pdotrCi proposals ion uDeefiimgi The Springville City Council gave unanimous approval for Nubrite Chemical Company to proceed with its drawings and plans for a building in the industrial park currently under development by the city. A building permit has not been issued to the company and the council had several stipulations that the company must meet before a building permit would be granted. Ray Klauck, in charge of development develop-ment of the industrial park, and a representative of the company made a presentation of the proposed plans of Mapleton Council approves licenses By Frank Nielsen Ron Biggs new owner of Maple Mountain Market, presented applications ap-plications to the Mapleton Council to dispense fuel and beer. Both were approved, but the latter only after debate and by a split council vote. Council also approved the treasurer's report showing six building permits issued and reviewed a proposed map of streets to be added to the master plan. The new streets would avoid land lock problems at Main Street and 400 East between 400 and 600 North Streets, i Public hearings were set for citizen input on this matter and for reviewing the change needed in the ordinance calling for a primary election. Regular, unleaded, and diesel fuels will be sold from the pumps to be located East of the store. Council informed in-formed Biggs that the annual Mapleton 24th of July children's parade generally starts in this area and they were assured that gas pump trade would not interrupt the annual affair. The new owner of Maple Mountain Market, which will be called Ron's Market, received approval to install four gas pumps at the market. The pumps will be the type that will dispense a specific amount of gas after the customer pays for the gas inside the market. life meeting he was told the military is looking at Coyote Springs Nev., as the main base for the MX, and Milford, Utah, for an alternative base. The main base will house 7,500 to 8,000 people, Stephens said, and the alternative base will house 4,500 to 5,000 people. Stephens said the building of the MX system began in 1979. Projected installation in-stallation of the system is planned to begin in 1982, and will be finished in sign saying, "No one's home, burglars welcome!" A stroll around your neighborhood any day will tell you at a glance who's away: porches will be cluttered with circulars, an accumulation of milk bottles on the stoop, an unkempt lawn, an empty garage with the door open or a bulging mailbox. All of these are tip-offs tip-offs that will broadcast "No one's home" to anyone canvassing the neighborhood. neigh-borhood. In the evening, most empty homes can be spotted too-just look for the dark houses. It's a known fact, light is one of the best deterrents to crime, yet most homeowners go out for an evening and leave their homes completely dark. Or, they'll go off for a weekend or vacation and leave the same light burning day and night. No light at all, or a light burning continuously, is a good giveaway "No one is home." A simple, but effective means of having light in your home every evening is by connecting a Time-All Automatic timing device to one or two lamps. Such a timer will turn a lamp "on" early in the evening, then turn it "off" several hours later. With lights turning on and off during the evening hours, it will give the appearance someone is home and may avert a possible burglary attempt! development. The company fabricates commercial cleaners, the representative represen-tative said. Klauck also presented a proposal by Northern Fireplace Limited, a company com-pany from Canada that is interested in building in the industrial park. Klauck presented this to the council, asking for vocal approval to pursue the proposal further. Klauck said all the developed property of the industrial park has been purchased by 13 companies, and efforts are being made to develop and sell the remainder of the industrial park property. Biggs will have to post a bond as he receives his license to dispense beer at the market. Councilman Larry Haines voted against the application because of wording in the city code that says license to dispense beer should not be granted in the "proximity" of a school or church. Haines would have had the council hold up voting until the word "proximity" could be defined. Elementary school property and the market property are separated only by a chain link fence. Councilman Morris Warren, sponsor of the motion, said that it may be a different matter if the school was a high school instead of an elementary school. Warren would not amend his motion to include a review of a definition of "proximity" as requested by Haines. Councilman John Bleggi seconded the motion that passed with only Haines dissenting. The treasurers report showing receipts of $40,224.21 was accepted by the council. This included $1,470 in building permits from Howard Stevens, Larry Broadbent, Claude Rollins, Michael Shepherd, Michael Carnesecca and Roger LeRoy Evans.
