Payson City Council Minutes 1000 East Dedicated er m Denises Doodles by Denise Windley required up to city utilities clouded the issue of the dedication of 1000 East, at about 100 South, during last weeks Payson City Council Meeting. Loafer Meadows Subdivision is in the process of development and will bring some 58 new homes to the area on 19 acres. According to discussion, some of the residents now residing in that area may have been erroneously told that they would not be required to hook up to the sewer system as soon as the mains are in. The cost of the hookup and its installation is significant, and Council discussion indicated that State law requires hooking up to the sewer system as soon as the main lines are within 250 feet of a residence. The Council will be reviewing minutes of past meetings before making a decision about how costs of such hookups are to be met. If the residents were indeed promised a delay, the City may decide to help defray the cost of the hookup fee. New residencies would not be affected and would be required to pay the normal fees. The forthcoming subdivision was also the subject of Public Forum comments. A resident of that area complained that the new development will bring with it an influx of traffic that may endanger children playing in the area, especially during the construction stages. She expressed concern about traffic patterns and asked the City to consider adding additional streets to relieve pressure. Citizen Kathy Caldwell, though not referring to Loafer Meadows in particular, stated much concern about Paysons growth and the impact it is having on school populations. "Payson does not need to grow at this tremendous rate," she said. Also during a Public Forum, a teenager added that there is nothing in Payson for young people to do and urged the Council to build a recreation center. aims-leng- ' Funding For Sidewalk Repair DUP Cabin Subject Of Concern Local Daughters of Utah Pioneers leader Helene Jones asked the Council to consider fence around the DUP Cabin in Memorial Park.

Monument To Be Dedicated In Cal Armstrongs Honor Amy Allreds 2nd Grade Class, of Santaquin Elementary, wanted to become involved with the Centennial Park and new playground near their school, and in their efforts, they decided to spearhead the construction of a monument to honor Cal Armstrong. Cal participated in a National Boyscout Jamboree in PennsylIn 1977, fifteen-year-ovania, where be was fatally struck by lightning. After the incident, a monument was placed at the park in Santaquin, but since time has taken its toll, making it necessary for a new remembrance to be constructed. Cals monument will be mounted at the foot of a flagpole near the playground, where the Boyscout Flag will be flown.

There is something exhilarating about growing things. I cant accurately nor thoroughly explain the way it makes me feel. You take a seed---a mere nothing in size and image bury, water it, and you propagate life. You bring to life a necessity for survrval. Or a flower, to chase away gloominess as its tender body worm its way up, up, unveiling a Ahh! I had better cease any further utterances down fragrant masterpiece at the finale. this lane. Im starting to sound sentimental, like a romantic, a Fabio fanatic or something. The toughest part, really, involved with a garden is the work that takes place at the beginning, the process entailing chores of preparing the soil for the seeds or starts of your fancy. After selecting a proper location to grow your darlings, you must remove rocks which have, in many cases, grown quite fond of the ground over years of unsettlement of their territory. Beneath these dinosaur eggs are plump, juicy potato bugs sleeping cherubically, their bedrooms exposed. At that point, you call on poor Karl Malone-watchinhusbands to do the rest. Then you plant your garden. weary-eye- d If vegetables could grow as heartily as the weeds in my gardens, you would neer see a Windley shopping in the produce section. It puzzles me at times, this natural ability to bless the ground with such lovely dandelions dressed in chiffon, fox tails and those flat prickly ones that sting like mosquitos on your soles when walking about without shoes. It is uncanny the way they tower and flourish in my gardens, and with oh, so little care. It is a shame there are no categories for which to enter my great harvest at the state fair. I feel as though I am being discriminated against, as I am unable to enter the fruit of my bounty in the yearly round-u- p of the states best. Sure, I could enter my carrots, my peas, my ingredients for fresh salsa, but if my weeds were allowed to compete at the state fair, I would clean house. Actually, now that I think about it, it is a complete outrage, there not being a Weed Category at the fair. How dare they leave me out of the competition, keep me from the ribbons, the praise, my name up in lights?! Doggone it, I want my share of the pie. alike Someone call Congress, there is a great injustice brewing around for as I speak-y-ou read. As for my garden, I ask Mother Nature here and now to not set a chilly agenda for the weather this weekend. A garden awaits me this Saturday.

Her suggestion reached open ears especially considering the bad weather that has hampered cleanup in April. While Dr. Gordon Taylor is personally committing $7,335 for sidewalk, curb and gutter in from of the three homes he owns along 100 West, across the curved highway from One Man Band Cafe, he suggested the City participate in the installation of a length of same that would complete the frontage to the end of the block on the north.
