Turk calls it quits Dr. T.R. Turk, school superintendent, was scheduled to tender his resignation at the Wednesday meeting of the Juab School District Board of Education. Turk will leave to work as an assistant superintendent for education operation and policy development for the Calhoun County Independent School District in Port La- vaca, Texas. His resignation will become effective in June. Turk said he had two primary considerations for leaving the area. For one thing, he will be making more money, and for another, he will be returning to his native Texas. The board has been Nephi 4th Ward.

Last year, for example, the pool went in the hole $25,000, all of which was up by money from the citys general fund. Pool patrons outside Nephi will pay the higher admissionfee, and thereby make up somewhat for their lack of tax support for the pool. Even with the higher rates, city taxpayers still will need to subsidize the operation of the pool to a significant degree, said City Administrator Randy McKnight. . J-M- McKenzie is in Panama with U.

Nephi citizens need to be more optimistic about area's economy Nephis citizens need to be a little more enthusiastic, a little more positive when they are talking about the community, jthe director of the Juab Community Economic Development jAgency told the Nephi City Council Tuesday night. Many of the towns citizens (tend to be unduly pessimistic bout Nephis economic status, aid Glenn Greenhalgh, and ownspeople need to remember hat the area has many good jpoints that may be attractive to business and industry. ! For example, viding even a little bit more sersaid Greenhalgh, particularly those that have been growing rapidly in recent years. One thing in Nephi that apparently needs a little positive mental attitude is Nephis industrial park. The economic development agencys former director, Mark Fuhriman, had little good to say about the park. He claimed the lots were unattractive, too small, and had other deficits. Greenhalgh said that so far in his experience, he has found no such problems with the park. Greenhalgh did say, though, that the industrial park could be spruced up a bit. He suggested that trustees at the county jail might do work. As far as selling lots in the park, Greenhalgh said it will be hard for Nephi to sell lots when many other communities are giving away land to industry. vice, said Greenhalgh, Nephi City has the .capacity to deliver twice as much water, electricity, and sewage treatment as it is now doing. That capacity is available because the citys electrical, water, and sewer systems have been revamped in recent years. i Many other communities The Nephi City Council has passed a business license dinance it hopes will protect city businesses from unfair competi-fro- be 'on-lin- Levans new $690,000 water system will begin operation Tuesday, May 27, according to Levan Town Board Member Joe Jensen.

Jensen says the system has been tested and problem areas have been fixed, but he asks that Levan residents watch their toilets, faucets, and water heaters to make sure they are operating properly.
