Vol 74 Number 21 50 cents Salina, Utah 84654 Wednesday, May 24, 1995 Salina , Redmond Aurora don 't make grade in free lunch program There aint no thing as a free lunch, the axiom says. And this year children in Salina, Aurora and Redmond will understand just what it means, as the Sevier School District announced that these locations did not qualify for the summer lunch program, now in its ninth vidually, which is a new part of the guidelines. Although each community sends their children to Salina for school, there was not enough to qualify. In the past the district was only required to qualify one site in the attending area to qualify for the lunch program. Pace mentioned that the program had employed nine people in past years and that the employees were primarily kids who needed the summer work. Notices were sent Tuesday to those expecting employment. Lunch will not be served at the Ashman Elementary School this summer either. Concerns over child safety near the construction going on at the school is the reason lunch will not be provided. The sites providing lunch during the summer of 995 will be Greenwich, 1:00; Koosharem. 12:00; Richfield Lions Park, 12:30; Richfield Forest Service Garage, 400 East Center, 12:30; Rotary Park, 1 1:30; Glenwood City :30; Sigurd City Park. park, 1 :30; Venice LDS Church, Central Annabella 12:15; City park, 11:30; City Park.

' No meals will be served in at the Aurora City Park, the Salina Legion Park and the Redmond City Park because of changes in the funding and eligibility requirements, said a news release from the school district. According to Karen Pace, from the Sevier School District, the new guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, each site needed to have at least 50 percent of the student body receiving reduced or free lunch during the school year. Salina had 54 percent and Redmond and Aurora both had 38 percent. I have had many sleepless nights trying to get the of Agriculture to reconsider their guidelines, Department but they wont budge, she said.

Paul Lyman has compiled the Sunny Brook Acres and Salina Creek Estates restrictive covenants into an additional couple of sections to the citys P&Z ordinance. He gave the council members a copy of the proposed ordinance .and suggested amending the section on uses in the current ordinance. This action was under consideration by the council, sponsored by Dwain Burr and Kim Robinson, after several residents brought difficulties in their various subdivisions to the attention of the council. Council member Burr told a group of homeowners at a previous meeting that he had been working on the Sunny Brook issue for almost a year and would sponsor including the Salina Creek Estate covenants into the ordinance. He did pursue it and gave the matter to Lyman to compile. The proposed ordinance adds six pages of single spaced typed text to the P&Z ordinance, if adopted, Lyman explained to the council the two sets of covenants were similar but not identical. He said the dwelling costs in the two was one area the planning commission and council needed to look into and perhaps amend, to bring them into line with each other, or leave as 1 facts are already in the building. Outside a lot of work has been done already, cleaning up the lot and placing stones in walkways. HISTORIC STEPPING STONE CHURCH The old Presbyterian Church and historic Carter School in Salina is turning into a cowboy and pioneer museum. And eventually into a stepping stone for even more. TIMELINE The planning commission will have 30 days to review the proposed ordinance, copies of the proposed amendment were given to the commission chairman who was in attendance at the meeting. Lyman said that if the commission made no response in that time the council would take that as their approval of the proposal. Then a public hearing will be advertised and held. The council could then adopt the ordinance or could just take it under advisement then vote on the issue at their . One significant stone came from Fay Hampton and the Bovang Farm in Gunnison. This stone was the stepping stone to the family cabin and has been set in the front walk at the church -- - and will be made a part of the name when it takes on the planned full name of the site, which will be The Historic Stepping Stone Church." This building will also become a stepping stone for the furthering of the dream of a larger plan. Jim Valle said it is a larger crusade which America is already struggling to claim, namely the regaining of the old values and ideals through the cowboy myth.' This is obvious in the amazing tide of support for Country Western music, the City Slicker phenomenon, and other evidences. A brief package of information on the concept has memories.

Marian Dirnick said the dream of marrying history and a museum with a cowboy connection is not just her effort.
