Show Nephi City Council says no again to cabaret license issue The Nephi City Council denied, for the second time, a request that a cabaret license be given to Rays Cafe. .The action was taken at the Nov. 18 meeting of the council, and was hard to make, as Tim Bradley, owner of the cafe, had strong, though unsolicited, support from the Nephi Jaycees. Robert Krebbs, Jaycees vice president for internal affairs, read a prepared statement in favor of a .cabaret ordinance saying that to be without one was an undue ; abridgement ) of personal freedom. He said that Nephi should be a desirable living place for adults of many persuasions, not just one or two, making the point that Nephi is part of a free country where the rights of all should be considered. Councilman Bob Garrett continued with the freedom issue to make his own point. As officials of the city, elected by a majority vote, he said that it was the views and desires of that majority that should be protected, not the views of a special group or minority. Following the Jaycees, Bradley took up his own defense, making four promises which he hoped would both satisfy the city and make a profitable business possible. First, his supper club would feature a separate entrance with no access from the front of Rays Cafe. This would prevent any problems with minors. . Second, the club would private. Patrons be without would be given a pamphlet with the rules of the establishment and would be considered for membership. Third, it would be optional for people to drink beer with or without a meal. Bradley said that without this leeway, it couldnt be memberships a money-makin- business. g manufacturing Fourth, he would have his own police force in the form of bouncers to make absolutely sure that one one entering the club would be offended. The council appreciated Bradleys sincerity, but the need for him to make these promises at all seemed to stir their doubts. Councilman Steele said that the very fact that Bradley would agree to hire bouncers was an acknowledgement that there were possible problems there. Bradley said that his purpose was to make sure that Nephi City police officers would not have to deal with anything at the club so that taxpayers would not have to pay for its law enforcement. Steele said, however, that after someone was bounced off the clubs premises, he would immediately become a city policing problem. Bradleys view was that these types of people were already the citys problem. Further, he said his club wouldnt be a Ogden motorcyclist, Kent Killpack, spent a cold afternoon and part of a cold night on the Juab Countys sand dunes Nov. 21. ' According to Juab County Sheriff David H. Carter, Killpack had been riding with some friends at about 11 a.m. Saturday, when they got ahead of him, and he became lost on the dunes. His friends searched for him until dark, and when they couldnt find him, they contacted the 467 jALX Bradley Bradley was also asked if his club would enforce a dress code. Although one is not prepared as yet, Bradley said it would be prepared. This might, then, deter many undesirables from frequenting the establishment. With all the ideas and comments, however, the city council still would not go along with the plan. Bradley said he would then make an application for a beer license at this time, and perhaps try again later to make his cabaret dream come true. Karen Kenison will be the guest speaker. Refreshments will be served. 1. We extend a special invitations for moms and dads to enjoy this special night out with their daughters, says Sandra Mangel-son- , 12-1- 8 stake center.

Rescue units from both East and West Juab County, about 40 men, went to look for the biker, and at about 1 a.m. Sunday he was located just northwest of Sand Mountain. Killpack told the Sheriff that his motorcycle had run out of gas at about 2 p.m., and he had wandered on the dunes since that time. Sheriff Carter reports that other than being very cold, Killpack was alright. ANT THIRJ T ION SOUTH LiKS CITY, IT 84111 didn't think his establishment would add to the drunk driving problem.

Nov. 25, 1981 Fires do $2 million in damages in Juab County, fire marshal says say, for the master plan to be finished, but the County Planning Fire caused over $2 million in damages in Juab County this year, the Juab County Commission learned at its Monday and Zoning Commission has recommended that soil contours and mapping be partially completed under their direction. If Nephi City officials are receptive to this plan, the project will be subcontracted to a professional mapping company. Although the commissioners think that this work is not of much advantage to the county, they agreed that the mapping is still necessary. The county has already invested $4,000 in the master plan project, the commissioners say mostly for citizen comment. The commissioners also spoke to Leon Winter, county emergeny management director. Winter told them that a new antenna for the county communications center needs to be purchased. The present antenna, mounted on the county jail, has been hit by lightning, and needs to be replaced. The antenna services civil defense operations, the sheriffs office, and the countys two ambulance services. Replacing the antenna would cost about $350, and the commission approved the pur- meeting. Juab County Fire Marshall Greg Newton said blazes have burned nearly 45,000 acres of land so far this year, and cost almost $14,000 to fight. Each year the state budgets money for the fire fighting effort, and if that budget is exceeded, pays 50 percent of the difference. The county is responsible for the rest. The county, then, is responsible to pay $5,600 for their share of the fire fighting. Newton told the commission, though, that he expects fire fighting expenses to exceed $14,000 before the end of the year. The commission also discussed the master plan project being done by the Central Utah Rural Impact Capital Corporation. The $95,000 project was originally to be subsidized by grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the State Impact Board, the MX Planning Commission, and Juab County. Federal budget cuts have made it impossible, the commissioners chase.

There is confusion as to the actual amount due. The statement shows an interest payment of $78,000, and County Clerk Loree Memmott questions if an additional $50,000 in principal payment was overlooked. If that is the case, the amount due in July 34-to- would be $128,000. Met with Marge Morgan an$ John McLain of the Juab County Hospital. Coordinating the countys budget with the hospitals budget in regards to paying the bond payment was discussed. McLain said that as of Jan. 1, the hospital could put $12,000 a month into a special account to be used for the payment. This figure could vary as the hospitals revenue figures vary from month : to month, he said. Saw the East Juab County Ambulance Associations new ambulance.
