Stackers was closed down for three weeks, due to personal reasons and management probwell-lov- ed lems. Stackers has grown immensely since it was first opened in Manti nearly four years ago. Bill Nehrenz, owner, began his business working out of an old rented kitchen. Nehrenz began by mailing out his menus to resi- -' dents of Manti and Ephraim. He would receive orders for sandwiches by telephone, and deliver his freshly made food on his bicycle. This continued for six weeks until he was able to deliver his sandwiches in his new Volkswagon bug, which he bought for 5100. 1 MANTI, UTAH Mantl LDS Temple 84642, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1994 'fMft The business was a success from the start Shortly after opening, he was able to relocate to Union Street yet his real success began when me moved to his present location on 97 North Main. He has been stacking delicious fresh sandwiches there since June of 1991. He claims that when he first opened, his favorite sandwich was the spicy supreme, but now his new love is the special charbroiled abalone tuna steak sandwich. Nehrenz comments that his other favorite sandwiches are the turkey ham and cheese, turkey avocaod, crab avocado bacon, crab avocado, and the new sandwich that seems to be growing on people, the spicy avocado capicolla ham. He plans to relocate by March 1st across the street where "Pancakes to Pizza" used to be. Mr. Nehrenz claims he outgrew his present location about a year ago, and looks forward to moving. The new location has about five times more space. Nehrenz has big plans and improvements for the new Stackers. Not only will the same delicious sandwiches be served in a wood and glass atmosphere, but a full-servi- ce restaurant will also be Dem.

Mmti City discusses Improvement project By Bruce Jennings As the time for moving dirt on the Manti Improvement Project nears, the Manti City Council has agreed on a priority list: the bridges will go in first, cutting the bar pits to provide good drainage wiU come second, and the actual street refurbishing will come in third. The process of refurbishing will include scarifying about 15 miles of street, placing a heavy layer of salvaged material over the scarified surface and then applying the oil and chip layer. Because eastwest streets have had the most wear treatment. and tear, they may get an extra Dale Cox Construction, die low bidder of four, has been awarded the contract for the two concrete bridges at a price slightly under $62,000. Work on the bridges will probably being in two weeks. The prospective bidders on the street project will get a show-m- e tour of the project on January 27. Offers will be due on February 3 and a contract will probably be awarded on February 10. Work will begin as soon as weather permits and the contractor will have 120 calendar days to then complete the project. The city hopes much of die project will be in place by early July. And now for some projected finances: The low cost loan the city has obtained from the Community Impact Board amounts to 5875,000. The city has now spent about $ 106,000 on the sidewalk phase of the project The bridges come in at a little under 562,000. UP&L But the city now wants to increase culvert installation across intersections. That would cost around $30,000 and the price of all seems headed upward. Frankly, were concerned about costs, Bill Mickelson, city recorder said. Sunrise Engineering will have an inspector and surveyor on the project and Manti City will have an inspector or a supervisor working closely with the Sunrise people. The City Council also dealt with other matters at last weeks meeting: Mayor Kent Larsen said that numerous citizen complaints were coming in relative to the stray dog problem: The outcome of this discussion was a decision to have two animal control officers, to increase the fees paid them for catching and impounding dogs not conforming to the leash law, to develop media information via the press and radio station and, if necessary, to arrange for law enforcement support for animal control. Sanpete Deputy Sheriff Rick Hall said the Sheriffs Department will be making a formal report on services provided Manti City. Mayor Kent Larsen responded that the city wants the report to included service and arrest information and the number of hours worked on a weekly basis. Acting on the requests of several Manti citizens, the Council passed a resolution providing that the city work with Sanpete County and other cities in an attempt to bring KJAZZ and the Discovery Channel to the area. day-by-d- 24-ho- ur Congressman Orton discusses issues in Manti meeting By Lloyd Call Congressman Bill Orton was in Manti last Saturday to visit with local dignitaries and citizens in a "filled to capacity" town meeting. The congressman addressed local issues, and discussed three hot issues on the national scene, federal health care reform, welfare reform, and land use issues. Orton disagrees with three points on President Clintons health care package; employer mandates, federal price controls, and the creation of another bureaucracy on top of the already huge medical and insurance industries. I would rather see a base plan that everyone could apply for, but leave options open for others to purchase additional coverage and services on an individual basis, he noted. I also dont think shifting the burden automatically to employers is the answer either. In welfare reform, Utah has been conducting an experimental transition" demonstration project, two years in length, that has not been active one year. Instead of either being on welfare, or employed, the new program helps ease persons from welfare into employment more gradually. Those who do not respond to education and training sufficiently to become employable over the two years are dropped from the program. It is not such a drastic change for persons under this program, and, he noted, has already shown significant savings and success. Orton said that a democratic caucus would present the results of the plan to the President next week, along with suggestions for health care reform issues. The other hot issue in the west is land use issues. He commented, Since the statement of raised grazing and other fees hit the public, there has been a lot of reaction and fear from ranchers, etc. who see their lifestyles being radically altered. Hopefully, we are now looking at the total impact of these changes. It is not just a simple issue of fees, but how the government reacts to citizens. For example, he discussed drinking water regulations. Currently, the federal government requires states, counties and cities to test the water for substances that do not even exist in local areas. This is ridiculous. He opposes federal mandates without funding. Local governments need to have input and control over regulations. He said, Common sense says that we should attempt to solve problems, but not create even more problems with the legislation we pass, and concluded, We dont want to make things worse.

Although there is some minor opposition to continued participation in the Central Utah Project, the Sanpete County Commissioners have reaffirmed their support of the giant project in a letter addressed to the Central Utah Conservancy District. Here are some of the reasons the letter gives for that support as explained: - The county want to secure the 14,000 acre feet of CUP water it has requested. 2- Sanpete wants CUP to oppose the withdrawal of other counties (This, of course, means Sevier and Millard Counties) if their withdrawal would adversely affect the completion of the project 3- Sanpete county would like the help of the CUP board in furthering the completion of the Gooseberry Narrows Project Help, that presumably means, in getting the 56 million needed to complete the Gooseberry --Narrows. Can CUP actually help Sanpete. It can possibly get some water delivered to a small area in Sanpete; its water rights could perhaps be used in a trade off for other water rights, and its board could possibly help Sanpete find $6 million dollars. And why the Gooseberry - Narrows? Because it would produce around 5,400 acre feet of Gooseberry Creek Water for use in the Sanpete Valley. Thats a major need in the present growth cycle. It also has hydroelectric potential. And because it would lead to the development of a superb recreation site: a 35 acre reservoir in Flat Canconservayon, east of Fairview, with a 2,500 acre-fotion pool for fish, other summer and winter sports, camping, boating and hunting. David Peterson, president of the Sanpete County Water Conservancy District, and commissioners Bob Bessey, Keller Christenson and Eddie Cox joined in sign Co-wat- er 1- ot ing the impressive letter to support the CUP. In other business: It told Sheriff Wallace Buchanan to go ahead with a study of Sanpete County Jail modifications that would permit the county to house female offenders. Regulations do not presently permit this, the sheriff said. And so Sanpete's female offenders, few as they are, are transported to other county jails for housing at considerable expense. Sheriff Buchanan was also asked if Sanpete has a problem with juvenile gangs. Not in the sense of a gang like the Bloods, and guns and knives, the sheriff said. Some California gang members are now attending Snow College, but they present no problem, he said. And kids have been known, rarely, to bring guns to school. "We want principals to keep us informed," he said.
