PLEASAN- T- Mayor Amoir Deuel has declared this coming weekend a potential disaster situation due to the possibility of flooding caused by inclement weather ongoing combined with anticipated high temperatures. An emergency meeting was held Wednesday to prepare local government officials and citizens to help mitigate potential flooding problems.

Local DOT crews have made a a day effort to sometimes keep the road open to traffic across the mountain for coal miners and others who must get on the other side. Highway and forest officials agree, however, that a cave-of- f seems imminent and the DOT is unsure as to how long maintenance crews will be able to keep the road U-3- passable. For the past few weeks some coal miners have moved to the other side and return home only on weekends by rail have had to be shipped by truck since the disaster. Railroad officials say they will take a look at the economics of rebuilding the rail line when the lake is pumped dry and lists costs of up to $12 million if the rail line has to be built along the route of the Highway 89 bypass planned by the state. In the meantime, State Senator Eldon Money D- - Spanish Fork said he has been flooded with calls from farmers and water users in the south part of Utah County who would like to see the reservoir made a permanent lake. Keep the lake They say keeping the reservoir is a critical issue for them and that having it up there for control is going to help everyone downstream. Utah County Commissioners say they have received numerous similar calls. MANTI County commissioners have proclaimed May 23 through 28 as Sanpete County Annual Tourism Week in recognition of the areas unparalleled tourist attractions. Commissioners also recognized the value of the tourist dollar to the countys economic recovery. Among the top places to visit in the county are the Mormon Miracle Pageant, Lamb Day, Scandanavian Jubilee Days, Hub City Days, Palisade Lake and Golf Course, and the Fairview Museum. Later on during the summer travelers can also enjoy the beauty of the Skyline Drive.
