Citizens are invited to come out and tutaple'to&i) by Roger J. Sturman It seemed like a good idea at the time. Mapleton city officials bought the old grocery store building buil-ding on Main Street with the goal in mind of converting most of it into a modernized home for the public safety department -Or at least for the police and ambulance ambu-lance departments. The original cost of the building build-ing was considered inexpensive (around $70,000) and the estimate to refurbish it for the intended use was about the same (another $70,000). Under the latest Uniform Uni-form Building Code, any commercial commer-cial or public building that is remodeled re-modeled or has changes in usage or occupancy, must be brought up to the current specifications for earthquake protection, fire haz fr'"v' XT'.? i.-t" Scout leaders, Cub Scouts and parents gathered last week for the dedication of the Utah Railway caboose at Camp Jeremiah Johnson Scout Camp in Hobble Creek Canyon.

Ofly building Semis ard, health protection, etc. Last month a disagreement between city officials over the usage of the building nearly caused the resignation of the Mayor and one Councilman. Now, however, it seems those disagreements have been settled and a new use is being considered for the old store. The city offices would be placed there and the public safety offices in the old city hall. A new building will have to be built to house the emergency equipment where the old fire station now stands. The cost for the city office project runs at $135,000 according to Scholz and Associates, Architects, plus $126,616 for the construction of fire and police station. There are several major prob Health Care Hypertension is the medical name for high blood pressure. About 15 of Whites in the United Unit-ed States, (60 million people), have hypertension which is defined de-fined as arterial pressure of 14090 or higher. 140 is the pressure pres-sure as the heart is pushing and 90 represents the heart at rest The smaller number (90) is most looked at, but both are significant t,.M"l a !

A second major problem, not addressed ad-dressed by the architectural study, would be the change in occupancy at the old City Hall. According to building code enforcement officers, offi-cers, if the city fathers remained in their current offices, a grandfather grandfa-ther clause would allow the building build-ing to remain the same. If the city offices move and other departments de-partments take over the city building, buil-ding, the Uniform Building Code (UBC) will require major upgrades. up-grades. In fact it may be more expensive to remodel office space than to just tear it down and Vri- t . donors provided the manpower and equipment to get it up the canyon and into the camp area. It will be used at the day camp for meetings and classes for the boys. Why high blood pressure Hurts you Pressures greater than 14090 can hurt vital organs like the heart, brain and kidneys, and takes months to years. This happens hap-pens much like a car tire which is over inflated causing it to wear out quickly. Hypertension causes plaques to develop which make arteries narrow, hard and brittle. This can block off blood flow and lead to heart attacks and strokes. All of this can be prevented with effective treatment which is now available. Who is at risk? Hypertension risk is associated with smoking, alcohol, obesity, known family history, high salt intake, menopause, males, and certain drugs such as birth control pills, stimulants and diet pills. Lower your blood pressure 1. Get your blood pressure checked. . 2. Reduce blood pressure by seeing your doctor and receiving effective medication. 3. Reduce stress with exercise. Lose weight. Stop smoking. Reduce Re-duce salt intake. Eat a low-fat and low-cholesterol diet Decrease alcohol intake. . 4. Take responsibility for your own health by lifestyle changes, and seeing your doctor regularly. The silent killer, hypertension, is usually a lifelong condition without symptoms which can eventually hurt you. Medical treatment treat-ment without side effects can almost always be found because there are a great many options and there is excellent evidence that treatment reduces risk.

The kids bounced in and said they felt like going to Seven Peaks today, but I felt like wc really couldn't afford to, so how about the tube slides at Provo Pool or going to the Springville Pool? They usually don't feci like eating as much junk if wc go somewhere else as they do at Seven Peaks with all the nachopizzaham-burgcr nachopizzaham-burgcr stands around. No matter how much we take in a cooler, they always feel like they need something special there at $2 a bite. Wc needed to get the house picked up and vacuumed before we left for swimming, but the kids didn't feel like helping. "Who do you know in the world who's ever felt like vacuuming?" I yelled. "I certainly don't-I also don't care whether or not you feel like help- rebuild. The architect is under the impression that the city would not have to conform to the UBC at the old city building and therefore did not include estimates of cost of remodeling the existing office area. This could result in a very costly oversight, especially in light of the fact that an even more stringent UBC is now being drawn up and will likely be in force by early 1991 It is unlikely that the citizens of Mapleton have heard the last of this issue. What started out to be a simple, inexpensive solution to the cost of remodeling City Hall is becoming a red herring that may end up as an embarrassment embarrass-ment to the present administration administra-tion at the very least Arts and Crafts Show in Mapleton All citizens of Mapleton are encouraged to show their talents at the upcoming Arts and Crafts display during the July 24th celebration. cele-bration.

That made them feel more enthusiastic. Why can't I turn these things into a fun game so that we all feel like housework is a way that wc show our love for each other and our pride in our surroundings? It's basically because I don't feel that way myself. I feel like in a perfect world we'd all be like the lady in "Bewitched" who just had to wrinkle wrin-kle her nose and everything jumped back into place.

"Dear Lord, make things better: for them-and don't let it happen to us." I feel so selfish when I think that, but we've had enough struggles in our life that I always remember what it feels like to be down, and I want to keep going as long as wc can without troubles. trou-bles. I felt like I'd better call Ida, an older lady I know. "Oh, I'm so glad you called! I was just thinking think-ing of you! I felt like I really wanted wan-ted to ask you about what you thought I should do about my cat?...." and on and on. Ida just needs someone to bounce her ideas around with. When you're living alone, you feel like you have to figure everything out for yourself. What to do about car insurance and the yard and the cat. You might feel like you can get help in the big things, but it's the little things that leave you feeling like no one cares. I sat by the pool all afternoon and read my latest Louis L'-Amour L'-Amour and soaked up the wrinkle-making sunshine, and listened to the kids. I feel so peaceful at times like that when I know my family is safe and having fun, and I have time to just relax and enjoy life. Occasionally, one of my group would run over and get a pop from the cooler and lay down and I'd rub their back and we'd enjoy a friendly moment and then off they'd go. Later tonight after dinner, I know I'm going to start feeling harried again and tired and grumpy. These summer days the kids seem to feel more and more like they don't have to go to bed early, and I feel more and more like I do. We usually have some time before bed when we sit and read together. Right now, we're on about the fifth book in the "Little House on the Prairie" series. I feel like if we read and study about other good lives' together, to-gether, eventually we'll get the idea all at the same time that we can live better lives-even when we don't feel like it As I look back today on all our feelings, from the kids feelings about work to my neighbor's feelings about their d ifficultics and my friend Ida's feelings being alone and my occasionally peaceful, peace-ful, good feelings about family life, I'm really amazed at how much our lives are directed by feelings. We do what we feel like. I also realize how important it is to keep our feelings on the right tack by the way we choose to live. Good actions bring good feelings, good feelings bring good lives. I won't feel like getting up again tomorrow morning, but I'll feel it was worth it by the end of the day. is MOD. P21357B details. . - |
