UHP By DONETA GATHERUM FARMINGTON - The newest addition to the Horticultural Farm in Farmington is a 16x50 foot solar heated classroom with three large greenhouses attached. The new building is designed to be heated entirely by solar energy produced by the greenhouses. THE CLASSROOM will be used for gardening classes built around home greenhouse construction and use. With the new greenhouses, gmdcners can also study home widening year around. Classes will start in November with a majority of the clas- ses being taught during the winter months of January through March. THE GREENHOUSES were constructed by the Davis County Community Action Agency to help extension service personnel teach family Emphasis will be placed on the teaching of cost effective gardening, to de- monstrate the extension of harvest periods of fresh vegetables and to teach energy con- servation.

For example, bamboo curtains or surplus louver blinds can be used instead of the space blanket type night curtains. The existing brick wall of a home can be the heat collector unit. Plastics can be used instead of the doublepane glass. MR. WHITING believes a good practical greenhouse can be build by a homeowner for several hundred dollars. In the future solar hot beds will be constructed along the south wall of the greenhouse-classroobuilding. Hot beds are used to start bedding plants and some vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers from seed. Mr. Whiting believes it is very wise for every home gardener to construct a hot bed. Seeds can be purchased at a very reasonable price. A good hot bed would only cost about $50 to build. The operating expense is almost nothing. The classroom with a seating capacity for about 50 people that will be heated by the greenhouses is designed using the most recent energy saving techniques and materials. Walls have six inch studs in vehicles. Drivers may be unaware safety equipment requirements are the same on a dirt road as the highway. A vehicle driven any w here in the state, other than private property, must be safety inspected and have a valid sticker. The same applies to motor vehicles (such as Jeeps) being towed. They must have a safety inspection and must be currently registered. Registration laws apply both on and off the highway.

By CLINT Mr. Della Silva was serving an appointed term. 3RDLOW A compromise was SYRACUSE reached between a former Justice of the Peace charging he was illegally removed from office and the city council last week though both sides still contend they are in the right. THE CITY COUNCIL agreed in an executive meeting last week to pay former Justice of the Peace Janies O. Della Silva back pay since his release from office last January, while Mr. Della Silva agreed to stop his push for Both sides agree the solution is a compromise, but is a preferred approach to pursuing a costly court judgement. THE CONTROVERSY arose when Mr. Della Silva sent a Sept. 10 letter to Mayor Boyd Thurgood charging that his removal from the JP post was illegal according to Utah law, and demanding his and back pay dating from his removal from office. Mr. Della Silva was notified by Mayor Thurgood last December he would no longer serve in his Justice of the Peace post, but according to state law Mr. Della Silvas four year term would not expire until January, 1984. and ACCORDING to sections of the Utah code a judge may only be relieved in mid-terby the State Supreme Court after a review of the State Commission. The crux of the controversy is whether 78-7-- 78-7-- MR. DELLA SILVA was on an leave of absence during January 1980 when the mayor and city council ordinarily appoint a justice of the peace. Mr. Della Silva and his wife were serving on a mission for the LDS Church in South Carolina. Mayor Thurgood contends that Mr. Della to office due to Silva was not his absence and therefore is not protected by the Ltah law governing dismissal of JPs. IF THAT is the case how come I went right back to my duties after I returned, I served from the asked Mr. Della Silva. time 1 returned from my mission until 1 was let go in January 1982. Mayor Thurgood pointed out that the minutes for the meeting during which a JP is normally appointed did not show any indication of Mr. Della Silva's reappointment. THE COMPROMISE was reached during a meeting between Mr. Della Silva and Mayor Thurgood before the Thursday special City Council meeting. Mr. Della Silva said he originally wanted to office, upon which he to be would resign the following day. However such an action would demand a lot of unnecessary paper work, so Mr. Della Silva agreed to accept the $2070. I GOT my point JPs are appointed, back pay totalling to across concerning how Mr. Della Silva, in dicating why he accepted the compromise. "My wife has lived in Syracuse her whole life and doesn't like the controversy. I'm just glad it was settled amicably." However both sides emphasized it was a compromise. Both the May or and Mr. Della Silva contend that they were legally right. IT CANNOT be overstressed that the city compromised." Mayor Thurgood said, "We don't feel we were wrong. However it would have taken a lengthy court battle and cost the city a lot of tax dollars to resolve the issue. Mr. Della Silva also said the cost of the court battle to tax payers was one of the reasons he accepted the compromise. I FEEL fairly certain I would have won if it had gone to court." Mr. Della Silva indicated. Cornell M. Jensen, a Clearfield resident and circuit court judge is currently serving as JP for Syracuse city Mayor Thurgood stated the city was happy with his work as JP and that he does a very professional job. MR. DELLA SILVA served as Syracuse JP for 14 years and indicated he would accepted a reappointment to office if offered at a later date. Both the Mayor and Della Silva declined to discuss the events leading up to his dismissal from office in January. Mr. Della Silva recently spearheaded a petition to have the issue of electing JPs placed on he November ballots, but failure to meet certain legal criteria invalidated the petition. |
