Pleasant individuals found out last week, that the loose ends of the citys pressurized irrigation project were going to cost them a combined sum of $20,000 over and above their city sprinkler assessment because in addition to living within the physical boundaries of the city, they also owned shares of Pleasant Creek Irrigation water stock, and were liable for a per share assessment for the companys participation in the irrigation project. While residents were aware that the sprinkler project was a joint venture between Mt. Pleasant City and the irrigation company, few were expecting a monetary commitment to the irrigation company for the companys share of the projects No Of special interest will be two works employing the piccolo trumpet, played by Ted Olson. Olson has taught mathematics at Snow College for nine years. He played the trumpet solo in The Trumpet Shall Sound" in the recent performances of George Frederick Handels immortal Messiah in both the Manti and Mt. Pleasant presentations. work. The accompanist and harpsichord soloist for this performance is David Ralphs, a native of Springville. A graduate of Snow College, he was a student of Sharon Hinckley and Lavar Jenson. He is currently a graduate music student at B.Y.U. The public is invited. There is no While those landowners may have felt a noticeable twinge t, quarter-acre-assessmen- since the 1800s. Neither the city or the irrigation company want to give up the $20,000 revenue the specific shares will generate. With records kept on irrigation shares, both through the irrigation company and the Division of Water Resources, one would think this particular problem would have been anticipated and resolved before the approximately $1,200,000 project was begun. Since it was not, it is now up to the two entities who shared the project to share the loss of revenue that these loose ends have created. Those who have been caught in the middle of an unfortunate situation should not have to pay more than anyone else who will receive the same service. And they certainly should not have to forfeit ownership of their water shares because someone failed to recognize a potential problem when it would have been relatively simple to remedy. family-owne- 1 d NS debaters in tourney MT.

Even though the man threatened to blow her away, according to 1 in the Deputy Lund, she continued following him into Ephraim. When they reached the bowling alley, she stopped long enough to let her roommate out of the truck to call the sheriff's office and continued her pursuit. Shortly after leaving Ephraim, Lee pulled off the highway and Geiger told him to get out of his car. She thought she could detain him enough for officers to arrive. Instead he came running at her again brandishing the shotgun, and Miss Geiger threw her truck into reverse and put as much distance as she could between herself and her assailant. She said she didnt know the range of the shotgun, but she wanted to make sure she was out of it. Lee returned to his truck and again took off with Miss Geiger in pursuit. Between Ephraim and Manti, Lee ran two other vehicles off the road, she reported.

Double billing wrong at receiving the citys per they were stunned and outraged at a similar billing from Pleasant Creek Irrigation Company. Water has historically been a precious commodity in our arid state, and those who held water shares in an irrigation company were considered the most fortunate because they knew those shares entitled them to water even in the dry years. Now, however, 11 of this citys landowners are finding their water shares placing them in a catch-2- 2 situation. If they pay their water share assessment, in addition to their city assessment, they will be paying more than other city residents for the same services. And they are quick to point out, some city residents now connected to the sprinkler irrigation had no previous claim to any irrigation water either through the irrigation company or city shares. If they dont pay their assessment, they are told that Pleasant Creek Irrigation Company will foreclose on its shares, and they will lose their entitlement to water shares, many Jan.

Lee was arrested by Deputy Lund and charged with assault, driving under the influence of alcohol, hit and run, and driving on suspension.

With January comes new beginnings January is more than just the first month of the year. It is a month when you can look outside and see beautiful days of sunshine glistening on the pure white snow but weather so cold it fails to warm things up any higher than 20 degrees. January is a month when you wish you could have traveled to Arizona with other nomadic Sanpeters. January is a good month to have a birthday in, because you stay the same age all year. January is the month when we make all those lofty resolutions that have usually disappeared by the 15th. January was one of the few months not to have a holiday until next year when government workers will get another day off to celebrate Martin Luther Kings birthday. January is a month when the news stories center around why we are depressed in the winter. to a report in According Newsweek winter depression now has a name and is called Season Affective Disorder. SAD victims lose their energy, but not their appetite and like to binge on carbohydrates. What makes victims sad is the short days in the winter. SAD researchers are finding that light talks to the brain via the pineal gland which is at the base of the brain and secretes g melatonin, a hormone produced in the dark, which seems to depress both mood and mental agility. It's the same kind of stuff that tells bears it is time to start hybernating. The best cure, according to the Newsweek report, is getting up sleep-inducin- MT. PLEASAN- T- Jared T.

January gets its name from the Roman god, Janus, who was known as the god of the beginning of the year, month and the beginning of the day who would open the gates of heaven to let out the morning and close them when the day returned at dusk. He also looked forward into the New Year and back into the old one. There are a lot of monuments in Rome, usually in the form of arches, which are dedicated to Janus. January is the month when you can find great bargains in January clearance sales if you were lucky enough to have any money left after Christmas. Stores like to get rid of winter stuff because they can get their new spring things out. Has anyone noticed the mannequins in Country Squire have been wrapped in towels probably just waiting for the arrival of those new spring fashions. January is the month when the Utah legislature opens for a our and session, to return Congressmen Washington to see how they can extract the money from us the legislature doesnt take first. Could it be that with those two prestigious groups of lawmakers getting ready to grab our dollars it is not melatonin that makes us SAD in January but thoughts of those two groups going back in session. Well all be lucky if, like the mannequins, we have a towel left to wrap up in. gal. 60 835-772- 1 1 gal. 30 |
