The Mt. Pleasant City Council has delayed action on a request by Randy Ostler for a license to sell beer at the new Double Kwik gas and food outlet, but the issue drew vehement feelings from citizens on opposing sides at Wednesday night's council meeting. The new outlet is located across the street from North Sanpete High School and the city ordinance says that no license shall be granted to sell beer in any dance hall, theater, or in the proximity of any church or school. The ordinance also states that the chief of police must make a report on any apparent problems issuing a license might bring before the council J can make the final determination. In a report to the council read by Officer John Christensen in the absense of Police Chief Bill Curl it was reported the Chief said that since the city did not have an ordinance specifying the exact distance and establishment must be from a church or school, the city could not deny the request. He added, however, that he had discussed the matter with Precinct Judge Ted Dase and it was their opinion that shoplifting would increase and adults would buy beer for minors at the establishment. The chief's report urged not selling beer during school hours and also not after a half hour before school opened nor until school had been closed for a half hour. a City Manager, John Thacker, quoted state statute on the issue which says Queen Suzanne Nelson Royalty named in Ephraim Suzanne Nelson, a stunning auburnhaired dancer and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bart Nelson, was crowned Miss Ephraim 1979 by Jolie Higbee, 1978 queen at the Miss Ephraim Scholarship Pageant April 27.

Commenting on the issue Councilman Jim Thornton, principal of the high school said, he found, himself in a conflicting position. He said he was in favor of the free enterprise system and adding new businesses to the community. He said, however, that as principal of the high school he was tom on the issue. Councilman Dan Jorgensen agreed with several citizens who said selling beer across from the high school would not cause a student drinking problem or encourage the use of the beverage. Another citizen brought up the point that when the high school is moved to a new location, there would be ' no problem. It was pointed out that existing stores are already close and are now selling beer and that using a precedent to deny Ostler the same privilege would be difficult. However, the council at one time apparently denied beer license to Lunds TexaOo, also across the street from the high school Ostler said no minors would be employed at the Double Kwik outlet, back doors would be locked and he said he would adhere to any laws the council set in order to get the license. Apparently much of the controversy over issuing the license to Ostler occurred over the lack of a sound definition of "proximity. It was pointed out by those supporting Ostlers request that two stores selling Planning Commission Chairman, town. Another citizen, Kerry Deuel, said he had seen a lot of bad things in town, but seeing people buying beer wasnt high on the list of bad things he'd seen. Councilman Don Chin hit the nail on and Terrel's Foodtown Erldeans Market were within the beer, same "Proximity" of a church or school as was the new outlet and in the past had apparently not caused public concern. However, some parents speaking out on the issue said they didnt want their children exposed to seeing other people buying beer or "the kind of people who buy beer and that if this outlet was approved, eventually the streets could be dotted with bars and no one would be able to stop it. Another citizen countered saying a grocery store was not a bar. Terrel Seely, owner of Terrels Foodtown which another citizen pointed out is located across the street from a church, said he would rather stop selling beer than have it sold right across the street from the high school. Councilman LaMar Olsen challenged that if beer could not be sold in gas Mt. Pleasant City will back up citizen efforts to clean up the town and has set e three Saturdays in May for cleanup. The city has set May 12, and 19 for the annual clean-u- p campaign and the council agreed to have city trucks available to help with hauling trash. Citizens are asked to have their debris in containersand placed near the street for pick up. The city is urging volunteer help and are encouraging all citizens to help make Mt. Pleasant pleasant. Falling-dow- n shacks, old cars and parts, and other debris in people's lots and on the streets drew the ire of several citizens at Wednesday nights council meeting. Mention was made of several lots along State Street that citizens said were eyesores to the community. Citizens attending suggested citizens committee with the backup of the city council. It was suggested that a good combination would be the city council, the planning commission and building offical along with the Chamber of Commerce Beautification Committee members and the police department. Firm back up from the council was strongly emphasized. "We have an ordinance to clean up the town and it isnt enforced now," Tom Nanley said and added that we should eliminate the ordinance if it wasn't going to be enforced. Those attending echoed his views and said they wanted the town cleaned up and the ordinance enforced. The council urged citizens to take pride in their community and support the clean-u- p campaign. d Sanpete Ambulance Crew display some of the equipment they have purchased from contributions made from local citizens.
