She claimed she was told by the developer that there would be fourteen new single family homes built on the property. Caldwell said that she, along with other neighbors, would have come to the Porter Place public hearing to voice their opinions had they not been told something that they were satisfied with. She now feels that the value of their property will decline because it will neighbor a subdivision made up of duplexes. Resident Jerry Barker said that the developer misrepresented his plans to immediate neighbors of the proposed subdivision. He came to us the day before. Barker told the City Council, and said that there would only be fourteen homes, plus the one that is already on the lot. A public hearing was held for the subdivision on April 29th, during which the Payson City Council approved with conditions. Unanimous Vote Made By Santaquin City Council To Not Pursue MTC Despite news reports concerning Management and Training Corporations being given the okay by Fillmore to build a privatized correctional facility there, Santaquin City Council voted unanimously to not pursue the company, nor any other of its kind. Santaquin City had been contacted by representatives of the company recently with possibility of them building a privatized correctional facility there. Though there were some good aspects about the company for Santaquin, remarked Councilman Lynn Adams, he heard more negative than positive comments from citizens in the community about it. When Councilman Dennis Howard communicated with citizens concerning the issue, 75 of those which he spoke to were against it, he said. "No one really had a reason," for not wanting it, he added, rather than fear itself. Councilman Kirk Greenhalgh commented that he believes there are better businesses to come for the City of Santaquin and that having the facility there might discourage them from doing so. Councilwoman Marianne Stevenson and Councilman Frank Staheli both agreed with their fellow councilmembers.

He was performing alongside his band of the time, The Revolution. He looked like a purple vampire bat the size of a Jack Sprat with hair like Little Richards and a face all dolled up like Donna Mills. They played "1999", a song that, however cool as it may be, encouraged the lava of anxiety, which started its course after both my first introduction to the term nuclear war (during all that MX Missile chitchat on the news surrounding the golden days of my youth) ", or kook, take and the inauspicious encounter at age nine with a clairvoyant in end the at 2000 would world a blazing fire vision that the year your pick, and her divine at the point puissant enough to make you say a whole lot more than simply "Owee-crap!- " of impact, to rage on. As with my uneasy nights of dreaming through the years, theres been no lacking when it comes to change for the musician we all once knew as plain old Prince. I somehow lost track of him and his many modifications and alterations somewhere along the line (had I not been worrying about armageddon, I suppose I could have kept up with it all) that for the longest time I had not known exactly what he was going by. I know now. I would love to share Princes newest identity with you in this column this week but it appears as though our language has been made to include an emblem, symbolic of the freshest of his naires.'that the makers of computer keyboards had not anticipated. In order to share it with yo j, I would have to let loose some artistic talent, and since I have none to stomach at the words of a kook foretellspeak of, you are, my dearies, like a ing a grim future, out of luck. Should keyboard and typewriter manufacturers decide to include this symbol on their newer models for accurate discussion? "Nay!" I say. Because it is with great proficiency that I predict Prince will have changed his name again. But then again, anyone could predict that Except maybe the clairvoyant kook I encountered at age nine.
