Matheson will out of the Jordan Aqueduct-Reac- h 4 controversy once he has made seven appointments to the Central Utah Water Conservancy District next month. Alene Bentley, Matheson's press secretary, said about half of the counties who will have directors appointed to the board this month had submitted three names by Tuesday. The commissioners were aiming for a March 31 deadline for those names. Utah County Commissioners released their nominations for the post Wednesday. They are Don S.

Under the new appointment process approved by the Utah Legislature earlier this month, Matheson will be allowed to select one of those individuals to fill each of the seven seats that will be vacated this month. Ms. Bentley said the Governor won't make that decision until all of the counties have submitted a list of potential directors. Matheson plans on having the seats filled by the time the board meets on April 14. While the appointments are subject to Utah Thursday, March 31, 1983 13 20 Senate approval, the appointees can serve on a temporary basis until the Senate meets to consider the appointments. After that, Ms. Bentley said, Matheson plans to step out of the picture and let the newly constituted board make the decision on whether to build J-"He'll appoint the new board, and then J-- 4 is up to them," she said. "We hope we can make it by April 14," Ms. Bentley continuted, "if we can just get the counties to submit the names." She said Matheson was pleased with the new appointment procedure with supplants appointment by members of the Fourth District Court. "It's one of the the Governor's highest priorities," she said. "He's really excited about this new arrangement." Matheson has been serving as a mediator of sorts between the CUWCD, who want to build the 4 through Jordan Aqueduct-Reac- h the northern part of Utah County, and a group of local mayors, who would prefer to see the Murdock Canal upgraded as a water carrier.

Mother and twins are doing fine. Carson is even more thrilled because the father, a stallion named Night Invader at Richard Orton's Spanish Fork ranch, commands a stud fee of $5,000. Carson's ill - - daughter, Holly Broadhead, competed on DeeDee in barrels competition last summer. Carson said she claimed the twins immediately and named them Bonnie and Clyde. Both colts are healthy. Clyde, the horse colt, was born first and is the larger of the two, large, Carson said, even for a normal colt. Bonnie, while on the smaller side, is still feisty. Both demand and get the attention of their mother. Since the birth of twins is a rare event for a horse, excitement has been high at the Carson home west 21 birth. "We've had more fun," said Carson's wife, JaLaine. "I didn't get this much attention when I had my kids." Carson said he has been unable to find any definite statistics on twin births for horses, but said very few go full term. He said one veterinarian told him that the American Quarterhorse Association, which registers 100,000 births a year, probably sees one successful twin birth during that same period of time. e Carson, who has spent a around the animals, said he personally can remember four sets, including Bonnie Clyde, that have survived. Two of those were to acquaintances, but Carson said, "We had a set when I was a little boy, about 6 or 7 years old." Mrs. Carson said the family will probably keep the twins and use them in chariot races when they are ready. of Lehi since the March life-tim- Oratorio Society presents 'Messiah' TWIN- S- Neil Carson and his daughter, Holly Broadhead, show one of nature's rarities significant when the $5,000 stud fee is considered. - twin colts, Bonnie and Clyde. The occurrence is even more Letii ailk for moire A group of Lehi citizens met last week to ask school board members and Alpine School District administrators to consider changing boundary lines now, so that students from the area could attend Lehi High School. 'There are three times more students in American Fork due to growth in the areas, and Lehi citizens are concerned about entering Alpine-Highlan-d Alpine-Highlan- d 3-- competition," Yates, Lehi commented Doug businessman who organized the meeting. Yates noted that there was "quite a difference in Lehi's curriculum compared to other schools in the district" He noted that there are three language classes being taught in American Fork and just one in Lehi. "Because of the limited numbers of students in Lehi there is lots of disparity in academic programs," he continued. Superintendent Welcker said that next year there would be more ninth graders in the American Fork Junior High than in the 10th, 11th and 12th grades at Lehi High r School. Dr. Welcker told the group that American Fork Junior High would require 10 portable classrooms to handle the increased enrollment there. Yates suggested the funneling of eighth and ninth graders from American Fork to Lehi. "With Lehi's move into 3-- competition it's imperative to move in a direction that would make more flexibility in curriculum especially in academics," he said. Welcker said that a new junior high school will be built in Orem in 1984, and a new elementary school must be built in west Highland soon. He said that there were 800 attending the new Highland Elementary school and 700 enrolled at Shelley Elementary. Dr. Welcker explained that the district hoped to start funneling students from the new junior high school that will be west of Highland and northeast of Lehi to Lehi High School. The change would be a natural one and he felt that it would be best for all concerned if the Lehi High School's enrollment could be increased naturally when students graduated from the new junior high school. Accreditation Committee would have noted it Kent Day, a Lehi High School teacher and west Highland resident said, "It would be nice to offer Physics and Calculus to Lehi's curriculum." He went on to say, "I don't understand why we can't start new boundary lines to get students so we can have improved opportunities for Lehi's students. As a teacher and citizen of Highland, I strongly urge boundary changes." Cloyd Atwood, another teacher at Lehi, said, "I'm qualified to teach German but haven't been able to because if we can't get more than 15 kids, we can't offer the classes." Dr. Richard Sudweeks, Alpine School District board member, said that they might be able to free up scheduling by adding a seventh period. When asked if the board was willing to reconsider boundary changes he answered, "certainly, yes."

The Utah Occupational Safety and Health Division (UOSHD) of the State Industrial Commission issued the citations, saying that while the cited violations haven't been shown to be the cause of that blast, they will have to corrected before the booster plant portion of Ireco's Utah Lake operation can begin again. In a prepared statement, Ireco Chemical has indicated it will contest the violations. The company also pointed out that the violations have not been shown to be responsible for the Jan. 25 blast that claimed the lives of four local residents. The statement reads: "In Ireco's opinion, none of the alleged violations addressed matters that caused the accidental explosion at the Booster Plant. . . .The cause of the accident as yet remains un- determined." "We are deeply saddened by the accident, and are doing everything we can do to preclude similar incidents in the future," the Ireco statement concludes. In issuing the citations, UOSHD agreed, stating that the violations "do not in any way infer that the explosion occured because of their existence, or that taken singly or together caused the explosion." - However Doug McVey of UOSHD said the citations are serious ones. "We are alleging though our citations that the company, which is engaged in the manufacture of explosive materials, has permited it's employees to work even though it knew that these conditions existed.

Lehi's population isn't so much different from other schools in the new alignment. Pleasant Grove, Payson, Carbon and Springville all have about 700 students now, Lehi has around 500. According to Welcker if there had been a marked the disparity in curriculum, Northwest The Lehi Community Oratorio Society will again present Handel's Messiah, April 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lehi Utah Stake Chapel, 200 N. Center, Lehi. This will be the third annual performance for the chorus and includes some excellent manner which constituted an undue hazard to life. Since Ireco is contesting the citations, the matter will now be heard by an adminstrative law judge of the Utah Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. If the citations are upheld there, Ireco will have to be inspected by UOSHD to make sure the cited offenses have been corrected before beginning operations in the booster plant. "We're not saying that these conditions were responsible for the expolsion," McVey said. "Our standards are designed to ensure a safe work place." GARY WILSON...
