Rogers is charged with second degree murder, a first degree felony, in the June 19 shooting death of Larry Gene Ward, 25, of Minersville. NOEL ill The jury trial is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Monday in the Beaver County Courthouse courtroom. Rogers was arrested June 20 in Eureka County, Nev. Milford Ordinance To Be Rewritten Milford City Council found a seemingly acceptable way to handle a hot potato Monday night, Nov. 16. During regular meeting action, the council voted unanimously to deny Bonnie Hardy's application for a zoning variance to convert her carport into a home beauty shop. But then, according to Milford City Recorder Betty Bacon, the council also voted to alter the city ordinance governing Vhome "occupations," in effect allowing for future approval of Mrs. Hardy's request provided certain requirements set forth under the new ordinance are met. Mrs. Hardy's request for variance had met with considerable opposition in Milford, partially on the basis of unequal treatment if it received approval and partly on the grounds that approval would open a "Pandora's Box" of variance requests. Changing of the "home occupations" ordinance requires publication of the proposed version. That version also will be the subject of a public hearing on Dec. 7. According to Mrs. Bacon, councilmen outlined several conditions which must be met prior to council approval of a permit. Mrs. Bacon said the ordinance will entail possession of a permit and business license, and requires that the proposed business "must be solely operated by one person" . and "must not the physical coof the property exceed nfines" involved. Mrs. Bacon explained that the "physical confines" portion of the new ordinance will enable additions for business purposes, but only if the additions do not include "outside" structures. She cited as an example a rack for lumber storage, which she said would not be allowed under the ordinance. Also required will be the meeting of federal and state regulations by businesses subject to those regulations. A beauty shop is one business, noted Mrs. Bacon, which would be affected by that section of the proposed ordinance. Milford's council also decided Monday night to take steps toward a possible rezoning of a residential area on Main and Center streets to commercial status. Mrs. Bacon was assigned to draw up and submit a map to the council. The map would outline how the council might rezone a k stretch of Main and Center extending from their intersection. According to Mrs. Bacon, businessmen in Milford have supported the idea in the past and the Milford Planning Commission recommended such action "at least two years ago." CHRISTMAS COMES before Thanksgiving in Beaver, or at least the signs of Christmas do. While Christmas season in the city doesn't start in an official way until Dec. 5, the tree in Beaver City Park has been partly decorated and signs such as this one are being strung. Perhaps it's all a reminder that there are only 35 shopping days left until Christmas Day.

The audit lists a total of five shortages in detail and then makes this observation: "The check items were deposited in the bank account of Beaver city but no receipt was made nor were the amounts credited on the books of the city. The cash items were determined as given to the city but also were not on the books." Christiansen said Tuesday night he had consulted County Attorney John O. Christiansen about him (the county attorney) looking into possible criminal prosecution regarding the shortage. The mayor told councilmen that Christiansen said he was busy preparing for an upcoming murder trial, but that the attorney would look into the shortage at a later date. Three cash transactions and two check transactions are involved in the discrepancy. According to Pickering's written account, largest single missing amount is an Intermountain Consumers Power Agency check for (Continued on Back Page) Of Producing Richard Allen Bradshaw of Milford was found guilty in Beaver's Fifth District Court last Thursday, Nov. 19, on two counts of producing and possessing marijuana.

Up- - until midway through the jury selection process, Bradshaw had sought to participate in court as a second defense attorney. However, Judge Owens hclJ that Bradshaw could defend himself or have Anderson defend him, but not both. The charges dated back to an October 1980 raid by seven lawmen on Bradshaw's residence and yard in Milford.

Beavers Beat Kanab Win State Championship 7-- 3, The Beaver Beavers have come a long way in 1981, and the Al Marshal-leteam has just returned with its third State title in a row. d A For the Beavers, this was the 11th year out of the past 13 years that the Beavers have been in the finals, and their 7th state championship. The game was a matter of revenge on the part of the Beavers, as they played host to the Kanab Cowboys on the BYU Cougar's field in Provo last Saturday. The Cowboys had beaten the "Blue Machine" twice this past season, 21 to 0 and 20 to 0, but the third time was the Beaver's charm as Class they won the State Championship 7 to 3. The game was outstandingly played on the part of both teams, but the Beavers could taste victory; and as the saying goes, "How sweet it is!" The poise and the determination of this 1981 club will long be remembered. For you who have forgot ten, the team had a record of two wins against four losses just six weeks ago, and all four losses were by shutouts as the Beaver's offensive machine failed to get un- packed. In the past six weeks, the team has come of age and boasts six wins to its credit, downing Grantsville 20 to 0, Parowan 56 to 2, North Sevier 33 to 6, Monticello 34 to 14, Park City 24 to 21, and the finale against Kanab 7 to 3. In the state tournament, the Beavers' poise shown through like a vast rainbow in the sky, as this was truly a team of destiny and color. In all three recent games the Beavers fell behind, kept their poise and came home with victories. Although, they didn't have the "superstar" of some past teams, the leadership of this year's 11 seniors was evident, as the youth became progress-ingl- y better as the season Ella Easton Named Woman of the Year Beaver BPW held its monthly meeting in the them.

The Beavers got action last Saturday, the first break when Kanab's fullback Johnson fumbled, but were unable to capitalize when a Steve Hutchings pass rolled off the outstretched fingertips of Scott Yardley.
