Show Yuba Dam tragedy Page THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 4 Tuesday, April 28, 1987 Search continues for Holden man By MYRNA TRAUNTVEIN Juab County Correspondent NEPHI Yuba Lake beaches were not crowded and it seemed like a good day for a little fun. But the outing turned jno tragedy for a young Holden family Monday morning when the father of the family sank when he swam n to retrive his boat. The search continues today for Louis John Monsen, 29, Holden, an 1PP employee. Monsen, his wife, Chris, and three of their five children traveled to Yuba Dam, located more than 27 miles to water-sk- i south of Nephi on but found the water too cold. Dave Carter, Juab County sheriff, said the family then boated across the lake to a beach to play. Later, Monsen noticed his boat, with the life jackets inside, was drifting out onto the lake and tried to swim for it. His wife said he reached the boat about 100 feet from shore but could not climb inside. Mrs. Monsen tried to swim to her husband but became cramped in the cold water and returned to shore. She went for help and nearly 50 rescuers were on the scene within an hour.

Officials said because of the An to assist with Or em studies setback zone Developer expects no objects to Traverse annexation plan By MARGARET HAMMERLAND Herald Staff Writer An Arizona developer, hoping to annex 4,300 Utah County acres into Draper City, says he is not expecting protests from anyone who has interests in the area. A public hearing is scheduled to take place tonight at 7 p.m. in the Draper City Building, 12441 S. 900 East, where citizens and others will be able to express their opinions about the proposed annexation. "We have not heard of any opposition to the annexation," said Dennis Wall, project director for the Estes Corporation. The company is planning to build a resortindustry development called Traverse Mountain. The project will be built on approximately 6,000 acres of land along the northern border of Utah County and the southern border of Salt Lake County. Wall presented an update on the annexation to the Utah County Commissioners on Monday. He said he hopes the annexation will be approved because it would better serve the needs of the project. Throughout the past several months, some Utah County cities have protested the annexation, but lately Wall said he has not been made aware of any such protests. According to James Young, Utah County Travel Council Director, the annexation is the best option, although the county will lose approximately $95,000 in taxes each year. "By allowing to annex, Utah County would lose about $95,000 a year, but if the county didn't annex, it would have to Assume all the responsibility of providing services." Despite the losses, the county is projected to receive $5,321,423 in tax revenues. Of that $4,407,058 would be property tax; $182,940 would be personal property tax; $289,135 would be motor vehicle tax and $42,290 would be transient room tax. During the first year of operation, the project's hotel is predicted to bring in $400,000 in room tax. Also in that first year, the county would receive $628,200 in property tax and $500,000 in food and bever alterations age taxes. After tonight's public hearing, interested parties will have five days to file a protest. If that occurs, Estes will go before a boundary commission, which will make the final decision. Wall and other Estes officials have met with city leaders in northern Utah County several times to discuss the annexation. "The meetings have gone very well," he said. "People are beginning to believe in us. Hopefully in the next few weeks' a lot of good things will happen." Commissioner Brent Morris expressed concerns about the annexation. He said he fears Utah County will experience loss of control over the project if the land is annexed. "I find it a little offensive to think we would give up our land to another city," he said. "That is a concern I have." Young said he believes it would be a real injustice if someone petitioned against the annexation now.

The proposed modifications would move the setback requirements for a home from 30 feet to 25 feet in the front yard in certain zones, and from 30 feet to 25 feet in all zones for the backyard. Builders are anxious to push the modifications through the council to take advantage of them during spring building. According to city manager Daryl Berlin, one of the major concerns among citizens is whether the development of lots in existing subdivision will be homogenous with the homes already built. But he notes that as the proposal is currently written, the modifications would only take effect in new subdivision developments. So, there will be no subdivisions where some setback distances are 30 feet and others 25 feet. "The builders like it because it creates more building space," Berlin said. "But some would oppose it because they like more open space." Obituaries Barbara Beveridge cold temperature of the water it may be a week before Monsen 's body surfaces. Saints, died Dec lie 1. 1977.

Kelly as one of the United States' 100 Outstanding Junior Students. Time gave the award because Kelly "overcame opposition to start a new student-ru- n university newspaper," the Student Review, and successfully managed many facets of the operation. Kelly is the only student in Utah and only one of seven students from the western states to be so honored. The award included listing in Time's campus edition, a cash award and a banquet in New York City with the magazine editor and publisher. The Portland, Ore., native is a German major and political science minor who plans to pursue a master's degree in organizational behavior. As one of the of the Student Review, Kelly's organizational skills were tested as he coordinated advertising, distribution and editorial content. What began with a desperate for start-ucapiselling of tal has now become a paper with a readership of more than 12,000 and four times the advertising it needs to maintain current distribution, Kelly said. "AH we wanted to create was an outlet for student opinion," Kelly said in explaining the impetus for the Sf'lent Review. "We don't n to be even r journalists; we're ed in what's right." inu. just p 9 By LISA MOTE Herald Staff Writer Ancient Egyptians spent their lives preparing for immortality or eternal life rather than waiting for death, said Dr. G.A. Gaballa, dean of archaeology at Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt. Gaballa, who visited Provo during the Ramses II exhibit, spoke at Brigham Young University Monday on archaeology and religion in ancient Egypt. In addition, he talked a little about his work on the excavation of Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Gaballa said the prescription for attaining eternal life for ancient Egyptians included doing good deeds, performing certain rituals and recognizing the power of the spoken and written word. The Egyptians believed there was no death, but only immortality and they needed to prepare in this mortal life for the judgment and eternal life. Their faith in eternity stemmed from some truisms in their lives that the Nile would eventually flood, providing the desert with life; that the sun would continue in its eternal cycle, and that the desert would protect them from invasion. "Their environment helped them have faith. Everything around them entrenched in their hearts the belief that life was eternal," Gaballa said. In order to attain eternity, the ancient Egyptians believed they must do good deeds especially for their families. "They had a strong feeling of family link. That was an asset that made the civilization endure." They also prepared through careespefully performing rituals cially the rites of burial, he said. "The rituals had to be carefully done so nothing was forgotten." Governor Norman H. Bangerter has issued a proclamation calling for a special session of the Utah Legislature, May 20 at noon. Six items of business are on the agenda: 1. For the Senate to advise and consent to the appointments made by the governor to positions within the Executive Free lung tests, reported in the calendar of events Monday, will be at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and not American Fork Hospital. The screening gives indications as to how effectively the lungs are functioning and can indicate possible problems that may be caused by respiratory disease. The screenings will be 10 a.m.-p.m. in the UVRMC lobby, Thursday. No appointment is necessary. PROVO FLORAL 171 HOP "OUR HOWfRS SAY WHAf THC Sri J"? h v Dr. G.A. Gaballa For example, mummification must be done carefully because the person would need his body for eternity. In addition, statues of the person were made to take his place if something happened to the mum-- , my. Finally, the ancient Egyptians believed in the power of the word spoken and written. "Without it,' you can't attain eternity," Gaballa said. For that reason, the people had texts like the "Book of the Dead" it was really the (a misnomer "Book of Life") with the words they needed to know to attain eternal life. Often also the person was buried with a declaration of innocence that said, essentially, "I am pure." Gaballa also showed some slides of his excavation of Memphis.
