The two blocks, in the southwest quadrant of Manti, are now owned by the South Sanpete School District, which at one time proposed to build a new elementary school on the tract, but a change in building plans resulted in the districts offering the blocks for sale. Jay Cluff, Dean Hatch and Dale Cox made offers, but the board of education, at its June meeting, rejected all three bids. Mr. Cluff has now made an alternate bid proposal that would be implemented over a five-yeperiod. But before the district can give the Cluff proposal full consideration, it needs legal counsel on whether it can now accept an alternative bid, or ar would need to re-bi- d the property.

T9 j r fr points out features of proposed recreation complex that and one regulation baseball diamond, to the Ephraim softball four of diamonds, would consist of Chamber Commerce. Bob Trythall, Recreation Board Chairman Ephraim Chamber gets a look at proposed recreation complex The Ephraim Chamber of commerce was briefed at their last meeting on a proposed recreation complex that would consist of four new softball diamonds and one regulation baseball diamond. The plan was presented to the chamber by Ephraim City Recreation Board Chairman Bob Trythall. The complex would be placed in the recreation park on the northeast side of Ephraim. Under the plan, Snow College would donate 7.2 acres of property for the project and the city would help to construct the park. Trythall said the project is still waiting on a couple of key approvals for funding and management But, I do believe there is a real good possibility of this coming through The college baseball and softball teams would play their ball games at the park and the intramurals and club sports could move back to the schools campus directly west of Badger Stadium. This would make a lot of diamonds available for all types of recreation leagues", said Trythall. It would also make it possible for the city to host a number of softball tournaments, which are very popular in this part of the country and are really a boost to local economies. Trythall also told the chamber about a proposal to renovate the old Great Basin Experimental Station eight and a half miles up Ephraim Canyon. The facility, which was set the Utah Experimental as up Station in 1912 to find causes and cures for summer floods, is currently closed. Trythall said the forest service doesnt feel they have funding to develop it and thats why Snow College has developed a proposal to help refurbish the structures. We hope if the proposal is accepted that renovation could begin within weeks. Bob added, we hope that it could be open by next summer." The college would be willing to provide low cost construction work and someone to schedule and supervise the site if it is reopened. Trythall said both the forest service and the college hate to see a site with such educational opportunities wasted. It could provide all kinds ofopportunitiesfor education to the high schools and middle schools in the area. Its also an ideal site for research for the college, forest service and private parties. In the early 1900s the station led to improved management of rangeland. Scientists conducted a lot of field studies in the site above Ephraim. The proposal calls for a name (Continued on Page 2) |
