Show COP Gives 3 Names for Senate Seat Tumbling for This Family's Not It's Acrobatics Roughhousing, All the rough and SUNSET tumble that goes on in the home of Joe and Patty Wells, 2155 N. 250 W., Sunset, might be compared to the antics of children in any large family, with one exception, the acrobatics of the Wells children are amazingly precise for seven youngsters under the age of 11. Mindy executes a razor-shar- p cartwheel, while 8 and Lisa and Holly, pirouette through a series of limber somersaults. Mike, 11, walks on his hands, and even the 3year-ol- d Crissy, can fold back into a graceful backbend at the least suggestion that a guest might enjoy a tumbling demonstration. These are not the ordinary antics The Wells of ordinary kids. children, along with their parents, are seasoned performers in the fastgrowing field of sports acrobatics, which combines the dance and tumbling movements of gymnastics floor exercise with a series of difficult lifts, balances, pitches, tosses, and catches. The Wells family is, in fact, the largest family in the United States to enter sports acrobatics competition, with four of the seven children, Mike, Holly, Lisa, and Mindy, and their parents, competing. Five-year-o- THE WELLS CHILDREN, who will appear Saturday on CBS Sports Saturday, are, from left, Crissy, 3; Lisa, 8; Mike, 11; Holly, 9; and Mindy, 5. Their parents, Joe and Patty, also will perform. five weeks prior to the competition. The Wells Mixed Trio of Mike, Holly, and Lisa were featured a year ago on CBS Sports Spectacular. Asa result of their competition at the fifth USSAF nationals at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where they placed third. In 1979, the Wells Mixed Pair consisting of Mike and Lisa, received a standing ovation for their performance at Nationals in Santa Monica, California where they claimed fourth place in junior mixed pairs competition. It all started, Joe Wells explains, in 1974 when Patty opened a dance studio in our home. A primary interest in teaching ballet evolved to tumbling, and finally to sports acrobatics. Although, there is really no definite line betweeen the latter two. Wells, who is a program for Univac, has had extensive training in judging mini tramp and tumbling. As the business grew, the family analyst-accounta- nt home was remodeled to accomodate the space demands of acrobatic exercise. The pitched roof was torn away and a second story added. Today, the Wells studio, known as the Sun Dancer, is 'a spacious addition with ceiling open to the second story. Colorful mats line the floors, ' and a double mini trampoline folds against the wall when not in use which isnt very often. In order to maintain a high performance level, the family must practice at least seven or eight hours a week, and up to three or four hours a day before a competition. Practice time usually comes after school for the children who attend nearby Sunset Elementary. But sometimes, you have to give up one thing in order to make time for another, Patty sighs. As the family participation in the sport grew, Mrs. Wells took a leave of absence from public teaching in order to meet family responsibilities and to make a priority of her own childrens training. The Home Gardener By DAVID E. WHITING Urban Horticulturist USU Extension Service FARMINGTON are experiencing Home gardeners many disease problems this spring brought about by the long rainy period. Lawns are suffering from a fungus disease known as Helminthosporium Melting Out. Symptoms associated with melting out are characterized by dead patches of grass with an indefinite border. Living plants may be interspersed with dead ones. The disease areas increase in size and spots coalesce to form large irregular diseased areas of variable sizes. The fungus attack kills roots and lower crowns of the plants. Leaf symptoms, uncommon in our dry climate, may be seen in many lawns this spring. The fungus produces reddish-brow- n to purplish-blac- k spots on the leaves and stems of the grass. Melting Out should not be confused with insect problems. Insect attacks may have a similar appearance. Under insect problems, you should be able to find the insect feeding on the blade, crown, or roots. Insects feed on the plant, diseases leave the plant intact but dead. Cool damp weather in the spring, early summer and fall greatly favors the development of the disease, dry hot weather of summer may retard its The dead grass will development. itself.

We expect this problem to appear in rainy springs. This disease causes the leaves to dry, particularly along the main vein. Now that the rains have stopped the disease will come to a screeching halt. The infected leaves will fall to the ground and the trees will put out a second set of leaves. This adds an extra stress to the tree but will not cause long term damage unless this occurs three or four years in a row. By the time you see the infected leaves, if is too late to do anything to control the Anthracnose. Just let nature run its course. Root rot is being observed in many gardens. This disease will weaken and kill the roots of plants like corn, beans, peas, squash, and melons as well as fruit trees. It is easily controlled by avoiding over watering.

Centerville Will Spend 1 0 Percent More The City Council last week CENTERVILLE for the coming fiscal a $1,528,261 budget approved year that includes a ten percent salary increase for employees and an increase of about ten percent in funds for each city department and no change in the city mill levy. - The budget figure is actually less than the $1,699, 307 revenue for the current year, but that figure includes about $250,000 in federal Bureau of Outdoor Recreation funds granted to the city to develop the Smoot Park. The budget figure for the current year is $1,362,802. The approximately ten percent increase in the 1981- 82 city budget will be financed mainly by growth in city, primarily because of the annexation of a large area to the city in the north portion of the community which was finalized in January, Mayor Golden L. Allen said. No increase in the mill levy will be needed, according to City Recorder Tess Porter. The citys revenue from property taxes may be greater than Budget OK'd In Farmington $491,791, 756 budget for the fiscal year was approved by the Farmington City Council.

The current city mill levy is ten mills with three mills designated for bond retirement, A group of city employees attended the city budget hearing to protest a formula proposed by the council for distribution of the ten percent pay boost for ployees. The formula would give each employee a five percent increase and the remainder of his raise would be based on a percentage of the total increase in salaries granted all employees. Mayor Golden L. Allen said the formula, which is similar to that used by the Davis County School District, would give employees at the lower end of the pay scale a bigger percentage increase than those at end of the scale, though the total for the higher-pai- d budget purposes would remain ten percent. Jim Oswald, a Centerville police officer, told the coucil he has worked for the city eight years and feels those with more experience and better knowledge of the city should be given raises to recognize their level of competence. This would be the second year that Ive worked and helped boost salaries of new employees, he said. I dont think I should have to sacrifice my salary for those who are paid less! He said the pay formula gives no incentive for employees to stay with the city. Steve Campbell told the council a study by the Utah Intergovernmental Personnel Agency showed in comparison to Centerville having population than most cities in Utah., Centerville has one city employee for every 433 Our city recorder is the lowest citizens, he said. paid city recorder in the state among comparable cities and the city admistrator is the third lowest, he said.

At the same time, he clarified the councils intentions to reduce the current mill levy to 13.7 or 13.8.
