Show North Sevier Wolves clamp down on those not current on accounts City will It seems difficult to believe that as of February 1 99 1 , the citizens of Salina owed the city $9,783 in delinquent utility accounts. There were 86 accounts that had not ben paid for the month of December. It seems that these are the same people who month after month are in the rut of being delinquent in the payment of their bills. Of the 86 who had not paid for the 1 month, 45 had not paid these accounts for 3 months. Seventeen of these accounts had not been fully paid for as far back as October. A delinquency notice is sent out after 2 months for these unpaid bills. The warning on this notice states that that unless payment is made before the noted shutoff date, service will be discontinued. A Salina City resolution passed August 18, 1986, warns: Users accounts are due on the first day of each month, and past due on the fifteenth day of each month. Any bill not paid by the fifteenth shall be charged a penalty of 5 of the bill. Users whose accounts are more than 20 days past due, shall have all services terminated. All terminated accounts shall bear interest at the rate of per month. Service shall not be restored until all charges are fee of paid, including a $25.00. It is doubtful that many of these people with delinquent accounts realize the amount of money they are paying in interest fees. If there is a valid reason why the water should not be turned off, the individual should present their justification before the City Council. The Council has been very considerate in not authorizing discon- nections. It seems that it may be necessary to take a more firm stand on delinquent payments. 1.5 Once upon a time, in 1964, or thereabouts, the North Sevier Wolves traveled to Richfield and defeated the Wildcats on their home floor. History repeated itself last week, as the Wolves came out on top in a hard fought and well attended battle T are atRHS. North Sevier played excellent basketball in the first half to build lead. Richfield came up a 37-2- 2 out after halftime fired up and ready to prove they could keep up with the Wolves, and they scored the first 6 points of the quarter. n' ..-'i- A,. 1 The 4th quarter turned into a hotly contested battle, as the Wildcats desperately tried to the Voles. In so doing, however, they committed several fouls to bring the Wolves to the foul line. This proved to be very unfortunate for the Wildcats when NSHS knocked down 18 of 19 foul shots in the 4th quarter alone. The Wolves were 26 for 30 from the foul line for the game, making the final score out-poi- nt 69-5- 7. , Scoring for the game were: Nathan Hallows, 18; Ricky Torger-so16; Brian Gladwell, 12;Robby Shaw, 9; Lance Mickelsen, 8; Ryan Braithwaite, 4; and Matt Crane, 2. Leading rebounders were Hallows, with 7; and Gladwell, Shaw and Braithwaite each contributing n, 5. Residents tell Commission of Leading the team is assists were Hallows with 7, and Toigerson with 4. concern over asbestos dump More than 300 concerned residents of the South Sevier area attended a public hearing by the Sevier County Planning and Zoning Commission. Purpose of the meeting was to hear public comment on the proposed zone change in the Poverty Flat area south of Monroe from a grazing, recreation and forestry zoning, to an industrial classification, so that a permit could be granted to establish a business wanting to establish an asbestos landfill in the area. The consensus of the hearing was that the people definitely did not want such a landfill in However, the final decision to approve or reject the proposed asbestos landfill, remains in the hands of the Sevier County Commission. County Attorney Don Brown, who attended the hearing, said This isnt necessarily the last public hearing on the issue. Leon Conner, a resident who addressed the Planning and Zoning Commissioner, showed the bags that are used to haul and store asbestos. He said they were only .0006 thick and would be easily punctured. He showed the commissioners photos of an asbestos landfill in Salt Lake City. Several of the bags had been damaged and had been set on the surface waiting to be buried at a later date. Conner said airborne asbestos participles can travel 65 to 90 miles. Another resident noted that the Poverty Flat area was so rocky that the bags would be likely be punctured. Dick Payne, another resident said that if the asbestos was to get loose and get into the wash that goes through the Flat, it could get into the Sevier River, and wash on down to Delta. He added that the govern-ment should take the responsibility for disposing and caring for the asbestos.

The Wolves victory over Richfield, along with Wednesdays win over Hurricane, secured their place in the number one spot in Region standings. NSHS defeated Hurricane 69-5avenging their only region loss. With the challenge of playing against 68" Jackman, the Wolves concentrated on him and limited his playing time by getting him in early foul trouble. The game was played with an upbeat tempo. Thatcoupledwitha pressure defense, worked to the Wolves advantage to give them a 30-2- 6 halftime lead. North Sevier also took control of the second half despite foul trouble for most players. The successful win was due to a patient offense and excellent passing according to Gladwell. The team played more unselfishly than they have been in the past couple of games.
