The bricks from the old mill were salvaged and the Nephi Lions Club cleaned much of the brick. The Nephi Fine Arts Center, built on the old mill location, was built using the salvaged brick with the building officially opened in June 1972. The park pays tribute to the flour milling operations which were part of the early heritage of the residents of the community, said Steele. The Old Mill Park is now officially open, he said. We hope the residents and visitors enjoy the park, he said. Celebrations Cafe, located next door to the park, is building a deck which will allow patrons of the cafe a place to eat with the water of Salt Creek flowing beneath the decking. The deck will be in the location of the old P.N. Anderson law building which was constructed over the creek. It was razed as a safety hazard a few years ago. The park property was purchased by the city and was the site of an old service station which was also razed many years ago.

Rex and Susan Claridge, Callao, said they wanted to commend the work of the road crew in the Callao, Trout Creek and Fish Springs district. We own ranches and farms in the area and are constantly on the roads, including the Bureau of Land Management property (Boyd Station Allotment), said Rex Claridge. We note that sections of these roads have been upgraded and are becoming a pleasure to travel now and we feel with the continued interest in them by Juab County Commissioners they can remain so, he said. We wanted the commissioners to know that the work out here is sincerely appreciated by all of the residents who must travel these gravel roads as a way of life. The wear and tear on our trucks, automobiles and horse trailers is a very important part of our existence in this valley and we are grateful for whatever assistance you may give us, said Claridge. We are pleased that the recent work done in the West Desert has been noticed and appreciated, said Gordon Young, commission chair. It is not often someone stops to say, Thank you, he said. 6230222 |
