Show Canadian wins annual Indian golf tourney Lloyd T. Goodwill, aSantee-Siou- x from Canada, won the an third annual Open Golf tournament at San Juan Golf Course inMonticelloover the July 4 weekend. San Juan golf pro Grant Leavitt said the tournament attracted 120 golfers, repre- to the green, Goodwill demonstrated why he deserved the championship. His chip shot came up short of the pin and he for a 7. Almothe rimmed cup for what juela would have been a match-tyin- g over the United States. He finished disappointing. second here last year and had returned with determination to take the championship trophy back toSunny vale, California, where he is on special assignment by the Army to All-Indi- two-putt- 4. Goodwill, 24, won the North Inter-Trib- al cham- pionship last summer. This is a Canadian version of the U.S. an Open. I wanted to prove myself in competition with the top Indian golfers in the United States," Goodwill said. "It's a great thrill to win; it's been a great tournament, and Ill certainly look forward to coming back to Monticello next year to defend the title." Goodwill got off to a slow start on Friday, posting a mediocre 76, but he came back on Saturday to er shoot a 69 and move into a tie for first place with Tom Estimo, a Yakima from Washington. In Sunday's final round, Goodwill started out by scoring an eagle 2 on the first hole. The 6' 2", 230 pound athlete had reached that hole consistently using a two-iro- n. It was his second eagle on that hole in two days. He bogied two, four, eight and nine, but made birdies at three, five and seven to finish the front nine one under. Meanwhile, Estimo was sturggling and finished .the front nine three-ove- r. Moving into contention was Army Capt. Thomas Nahanee Almojuela, the man picked by many to win this year's tournament. Almojuela had looked impressive the first two days as he shot a pair of 75's. But on Sunday his game fell into place and he finished the front nine with a 3 -- under par 32 and suddenly it was the Vietnam war hero and helicopter pilot from Sunnyvale, California, who threatened the long -- ball hitting Canadian.

Goodwill and Almojuela were putting on a show of exciting Bluff citizens vote for sewers by Alvin Reiner One of the most important meetings of the history of the San Juan . 96-ye- ar com- munity of Bluff was held on the evening of June 30. The purpose of the meeting was two fold. First, a decision was to be made as to whether or not Bluff should have a sewer system. And secondly, should the community incorporate or become part of a county service area or district. John Thompson started the meeting by giving a general report on the previous meetings of the sewer advisory committee. John Hatch, a committee member, outlined his reasoning for a sewer system. He stated he is not usually for rushing into things and unnecessary progress, but he felt the sewer system would be advantageous to the community. Dave Johnson, sanitarian for the Southeastern Utah Health District, gave several reasons for having a sewer system. Mr. Johnson felt that increased water use due to the recently installed water system in conjunction with an increase of water disposal necessitated an improvement in sewage disposal. He also said that when a new family moves into a house there may be an increased neeu for adequate sewage disposal over the original owners' needs. The increased use of dishwashers and especially garbage disposals also contribute to the sewer problems. He also stated that septic tanks must be pumped out and places to dump the sewage found. Other septic tank problems arise when there is a high water table, such as in the Bluff area. He that people genclean out their don't erally septic- tanks until they have trouble. Committee member, Judge John Cook informed the gathering of the possible financial costs. A rough estimate of $570,000 was given as the total mentioned amount, with $320,000 going for the collection system and $250,000 for the treatment facility. He said H.U.D. (Housing and Urban Development) could probably finance 100 per cent of the collection system with a grant. An application must be submitted during next January or February. The Environmental protection agency could provide a grant for 75 per .cent of the treatment facility. However, grants can only be made to a service area or political entity which at present, Bluff is not. Mr. Cook estimated that the reamining $62,500 could be paid off in 20 years with a monthly user fee of $5, taking into account the projected growth. The town could be paid off in 40 years without the anticipated growth. Lawyer Erick Swenson briefly acquainted the assemblage with the four types of service areas or political entities from which the citizenry would have to choose. They are a County Service Area, a County Water and sewage improvement district, a county improvement district, and in- - (Please turn to page 2) golf. As the two teed it up at 18, Goodwill led Almojuela by three strokes and it looked like the big Canadian would breeze to the championship. But he snap-hook- ed his drive into the oak brush to the left of the fairway. A five -- minute search failed to produce the ball and he had to play a second ball which found the rough but was playable. His approach shot flew the green and landed, on hard surface near the clubhouse. Now facing a precarious shot Little Buckaroo Rodeo July 0 Goodwill had won by a single stroke.
