PLEASAN- T- Several years ago, a number of city streets were designated as off highway vehicle (OHV) routes, in an effort to accomodate safe travel to mountains and fields on and dirt bikes. It seems there are several citizens who seem to think that the rules dont apply to them. The rules are very clear. OHV riders can travel from their homes directly to one of five streets, then follow them directly out of town. - They are: 700 South; 200 South; 200 North; 500 North; and 900 East.There are no provisions to ride these OHVs to local conve- . four-wheele- rs Its always nice to read The Pyramid and find out what is wrong with the world.

First, the plans and original budget for the sewer were put together almost two years ago, at which time the ground water regulations were not as stringent; so, now, they need additional work to bring them into compli-- l ance with the current rules.

Of this $1.54, $1.42 goes for Operation and Maintenance, which we would have to fund under any circumstance, leaving 12 cents per month for increased debt service. To fund the additional monies, FmHA is contributing an additional grant of $210,000 and Division of Water Quality is contributing an additional grant of $210,000, with the remainder zero percent loan. in a 30-yea- r, The bottom line is: for an additional 12 cents per month, the city receives $420,000 in grants and has sufficient funds to build the sewer system. I find it hard to view an additional 12 cents per month as a difficulty. Maybe the difficulty is in hooking up the new culinary system.

Those in whom the original diagnosis was diabetes had significantly poorer overall survival than those who had hypertension, glomerulonephritis, or polycystic kidney difference in disease, and the survival was especially dramatic in the diabetes group. Those who had diabetes and started dialysis between 55 and 64 years of age had a 49.2 survival after 5 years compared with a 14.9 survival among those who started the therapy at 80 years or older.

Pleasant. Faithful readers will know we've been following this story since last December when the Wilkinsons nearly lost their business due to zoning problems. The county commissioners approved the rezoning of the Wilkinsons property during their June 7 meeting and now, as long as Jim and LaRaine comply with the conditions set forth, the dust can finally settle. Fairness was the real issue here and the county acted appropriately in granting this change to a business that has been operating for a number of years. County officials demonstrated that they were accessible and approachable even helpful. They were able to recognize logic, and had the integrity to admit there may have been a flaw in the system. Jim and LaRaine were lucky in that they had followed what they thought were proper procedures in obtaining licenses and permits over the years. They had attended commission meetings on their own behalf and, also, when requested to do so by commissioners. Sanpete County Clerk Kristine Christiansen very patiently wept back through the old meeting minutes and copied entries pertaining to the Wilkinsons participation, which helped reconstruct the history of their business and their dealings with the county. Officials were big enough to recognize that errors may have been made because a system apparently hadnt been in place; it wasnt any individuals fault, just a problem waiting to happen. Instead of adhering rigidly to the law itself, they gave credit to the Wilkinsons efforts to abide by the law. Other county businesses may not fare as well. There are those who have set up businesses without even attempting to obtain licenses, let alone check the zoning or request necessary permits. The day will come when these business operators will get caught and they wont have a leg to stand on. In these instances, the county will have every right to demand adherence to the law and take action accordingly. fail-sa- 1845.
