I park my truck there, where only two inches of asphalt exists, and there has been no damage, said Jim Dolan. j I suggest we take one block at a time and rebuild the street instead of overlaying many streets at once, he said.

Other trucks will continue to use the streets," said Tidwell. Parking creates no more impact than driving on the streets. Most trucks are parked off of the asphalt, said Neal Blake. Dolan said most truck drivers run legal weights and he thought the streets in town needed rebuilding.

The Lady Wasps dominated the meet as they scored 235 points to bring home the Gold and the Region Champa title. No one was even within reach of the Wasps as the second place team scored only 89 points. The top placers for Juab are as follows: in tlie 100m dash, Alecia Stoddard placed 2nd with a time of 13.368, Meri-t- y Blackett placed 3rd with 13.769, and Jennifer Zirbes placed 6th with a 13.869; in the 200m dash, Michelle Lovell placed 2nd with a time of 27.361, Merity Blackett placed 4th with a 29.186, and Jennifer Zirbes placed 6th with a 29.429; in the 400m dash, Jennifer Wilson placed 2nd with a time of 1.CS.49, Kamelle Newton placed 3rd with a 1.07.28, and Collette Orme placed 6th with a 1.08.19; in the 100m hurdles, Annie Brough placed 2nd with a time of 17.093 , Kathryn Woodland placed 3rd with a 17,294, and Mary Dawn Sperry placed 4 th with a 17.861; in the 300m hurdles, Kathryn Woodland placed 2nd with a time of 5 1 .353, Annie COPY YTJ0D (3uODD( Sperry also said she thought the city needed better specifications when trenches were dug across city streets and needed to keep water ofT of city streets. News reports say we skimp on highway maintenance and dont keep water out of the street surfaces, said Blake. When we patch streets we dont compact the asphalt. Trucks arent the problem nature and maintenance are. John Phillipson said a loaded pick-u- p causes more damage than a large truck. We pay all kinds of taxes and fees more than enough to pay for the roads, he said. Phillipson said he thought water caused the biggest problem in road deterioration. We need more chip seals and more preventative maintenance. Dolan said there is not sufficient drainage for city streets except at the site of new homes where curb and gutter is installed. In addition, he said, trucks required more of a radius at asphalt intersections which he thought should be planned for as part of street construction. Most truckers end up hauling in gravel to park on, said Lee Olsen. The gravel improves the edges of the roads. Snow plows tear up city streets worse than anything else because there are so many chuck hole patches, said Olsen. You cant eliminate truck travel on city streets. Blake said 700 South gets lots of traffic, other than trucks, in the hot sum- mer months. It is a privilege to live in a small town and to be able to park a truck in front of our homes, said LouAnn Thalman. What can we do to help the city to be able to allow us to continue? We want to help you allow us to keep this privilege, even paying a parking tax. Security is a big concern about parking other than by our homes, said Thalman. The city dug up a new street for a sewer installment a few days after the road was built, said Phillipson. Tidwell 6aid he wondered if the no parking restriction would limit his employees from dropping off paperwork at his home. If my daughter parked her truck elsewhere, how would she get home?" asked Blake. I would do anything not to have to park my truck at home, said Dolan, but my employer requires that I park there. He said one of the big reasons parking at his house was required was that it provided more security for the vehicle. He said his employer would not pay for private parkingfor his truck. I love this community and want to be auie to stay here and still make a living, said Dolan. I dont want to leave my truck downtown, said Tidwell. We need to plug our trucks into power in the winter. There is not enough room at the existing truck stops to park all the trucks, See year, said Brough. After one year, we will require that the business be connected to the Nephi City sewer system.
