Wednesday, Warning Issued About Canal Use A warning was issued this week by the Provo River Water Users Association concerning the dangers of using the canals for swimming, tubing, tub-ing, water sking and general recreation. "Those who might be tempted to unlawfully engage in such activities not only subject themselves to personal per-sonal injury or death but pose a threat to the public health and safety," says Jack M. Gardner, superintendent of the Association. He says such uses are prohibited and urges Orem City to join with the Association in publicizing the danger this practice poses to public health and safety. He reminds those who might be tempted to use the canals that canal water is contaminated from dead animals and trash that are wrongfully wrongful-ly dumped in the canal. In addition, the cold murky water might result in accidental drowning to swimmers who get cramps, or who are unable to climb the canal banks, or who may be pulled into one of the siphons. Gardner says water skiing by be;., ing towed behind a motor vehicle drive along the canal roadway not only on-ly subjects the participanjs-to personal per-sonal injury or death, -but also poses a serious hazard to overflowing the canal bank by running the vehicle off the bank and into the canal. "Trespassers on the canal properties pro-perties and facilities are in violation of local trespass ordinances and violators should be prosectued," Gardner says. Some segments of the canal properties, pro-perties, including the roadway, are' owned outright Dy tne unuea ouues, and those wupertles have beer, posted against trespassing. However, through other private properties the U.S. owns an easement to maintain and operate the canal. Those properties proper-ties may not be posted but citizens are prohibited from interfering with the easements. 01 men At 13th Orem City Council may be having a change of heart concerning the 13th South Corridor which they had voted to leave zoned as it is.

Blaine Willes said at the April 22nd Council meeting, "I would like to see the 13th South issue come back." He said that due to the late hour, "I shouldn't have allowed a vote. I'll take responsibility." Council member Joyce Johnson also said she'd like to see it come back. "No one has pressured me. This is my own thinking, it's just that I understand some things better now." HarleyGillman, councilman, did ; not feel it necessary to bring the issue back. "We're famous for this," says Gillman.
