Show mm ratate will m pap hookup ff by Laurel Brady Mapleton's City Council decided that residents not served by the sewer will not be required to pay the $350 hookup fee originally origi-nally required of all residents. Some council members pointed out the sewer provides benefits to all residents, whether or not they hook on, by enhancing the tax base and protecting groundwater from contamination. Mayor Richard Maxfield noted "It is going to hurt the city if we have to give the money back." The money was collected to generate capital for a down payment pay-ment on the sewer system, but council members voted two to one not to require the fee from homeowners not adjacent to sewer lines. The council also compiled a list of projects it will consider in this year's application for CDBG funding. Grants totalling about $1.3 million are available, and individual cities can apply for amounts in a range of $25,000 up ' to $200,000 for specific projects. Mapleton has received about $165,000 in the last few years for assistance with sewer hookup fees, drainage problems and replacement of lead jointed culinary culi-nary water pipes. Planner Karen McCandless said the grants are intended to benefit residents of low and moderate income, prevent or eliminate blight and eliminate urgent health or welfare problems. prob-lems.

Teaching children Here's a simple way to encourage en-courage your children to think, be creative and practice writing. All that's needed is pencil and paper. The object is for them to make up and write sentences-each sentences-each containing at least four words that begin with the same letterExample: Ann and Adam ate apples. Or Carta's cat had lots of cute, cuddly kittens. This activity builds cooperation coopera-tion also. Children can work together to build the sentences. Don't be surprised if you hear them laughing loudly as they read the sentences they've created. If you have a child who is too young to write sentences, allow them to say the sentences instead of writing. .Treasure Befcs 489-6484 4 in Sprinaville mm.
