Show VALENTIMES - FEBRUARY 1993 . 9 Rumor Control Department Possibly it was all the precipitation in January, or some propitious conjuga- tion of the stars, but this past month seemed abundantly fertile for the sprouting and cultivation of rumors here in our Castle Valley paradise. Maybe just some of our impatient surveyed (the line running along what seems to be the fence line of Karen’s property. When the bulldozer operator dozed that part of Castle Valley Drive, he got on the wrong side of the survey line and took the road out of Lot #76 across from Karen, instead of out of Karen’s side. What a l*?!*? mess! Karen gained about 1.2 acres, and grapevine that you’d like more information about, ask one of the CV TIMES folks if we could do an article on it. A major reason why we started putting out the TIMES is to provide an easier means for residents to find out what is really going on. Last month we published all the names of FDA, Town Council, and Planning Commission the other lot lost the same. Lots 78 and members and other representative gardeners chomping at the bit, frus- 56 also have a similar swap, but it only groups, so you could call any of them if trated that they can’t yet get things to amounts to about .08 acres. Since the letter sent out to the you have a question. Look up the was going to be moved and Karen would have to move her workshop! RUMOR #3 has it that our illustrious mayor, John Groo, broke several ribs during his present trials and tribulations with bronchitis. Don’t believe him. Si ainglass While we might buy the line that he and his bike had finally been run off the River Road and thrown into the tamarisk by an irate CV commuter, the true story is much simpler. During a simple karate practice session with his son Ian (3 Ninja Turtle Karate Grand Master), John’s momen- ek—nics BY misc C usto m tary lapse of attention gave Ian the windows public discussion before this was ever poneb decided one way or the other. There are pros and cons both ways. How much would it really cost? Would it lower our fire insurance rates? Would it raise our taxes? Would residents have to connect? Would it be a worthwhile back-up for our wells? RUMOR #2 claimed that Castle opening for a spectacular throw, sending John through the air, over their pickup truck All might have been well, lamps Valley was going to make Karen Nelson move the workshop she built two years ago because the workshop is actually in Castle Valley drive. (Karen has Lot #77 on the east side of Castle Valley Drive on the big jog in the road just before Bailey Lane.) While it is apparently true that her workshop is in Castle Valley drive (according to the platte map), the problem is that the existing road isn’t in Castle Valley Drive (according to the platte map)—another wonderful little gift left to us by the original developers to keep us out of trouble by making sure we don’t have time to do anything had not John landed on their overturned roto—tiller, which was being worked on in preparation for the annual spring assault on Castle Valley’s clay.

As the population grows in Castle Valley, and the chance of well contamination increases, the most sensible solution discussed so far is to tap into the huge amount of federal funding available for community culinary water systems. This would be much, much cheaper than a sewer system. Even so, there would be a long and contentious (New Times) and post it for reference.
