Show March 28, 1985 Manti Maasangar, Thuraday, New publication for Letters asthma patients . . . A new Loss offamily pet publication for adults with asthma is announced by the To the Editor, and Manti citizens: Two weeks ago, we had a terrible incident happen to us. I say to us because someone or something (it is our belief it was someone) took away from us a very dearly loved pet. Her name was Daffny and she was a duck. Now Daffny was no ordinary duck, you see she was a friend and a very important part of the family. Daffny also had another special friend who lived next door, unusual as it was, it was a big fluffy cat. This cat would come over to see Daffny almost every day and at times Daffny could get through the bushes to go visit her friend. It was something watching these two animals play and tease each other. It was a special relationship. My little boys just loved taking care of her, watching her take baths, the funny way shed eat, wiggle her tail and quack at us whenever we called her name. She would follow us around the yard too, yes, Daffny was an important part of our lives. can imagine how shocked and heartbroken we were to find Daffny laying dead out in back (with what looked like a bullet wound.) Why would anyone want to take something away from us that can never be replaced? Not to mention three little boys heartbroken and did saying, why Mommy, someone want to kill Daffny? They want her back and so do 1, but whats done is done. If this was a person, they broke the law by tresspassing and taking private property (it was not done on our property, but after this terrible deed she was brought back). Now if it was a dog, why cant people keep their big dogs tied up? This is also against the law to let these big animals roam around the streets. If there is anyone who has any information concerning this please let us know by calling 1 and we will offer a reward. Nothing can bring back our little Daffny duck, but maybe I will at least be able to tell my little boys an answer. 835-783- Very sadly, Joel and Linda Harmon and boys The next morning (Friday) you American Lung Association of Utah.

Im the adventurous type. I have an uncanny desire to find out whats at the end of a road I havent been on. As a result Im forever getting lost (especially in the mountains west of Manti and Ephraim where I dont know my I way around). And if m not lost Im stuck or find myself on a deadend road where I cant turn around. Every time I pass a "cow trail leading off into the boondocks, I slow down and say I wonder where that road goes."

Graduates of the course learned An ordinance controlled substance. requiring a performance bond be paid by a business obtaining a license to sell beer within the community was passed by the Ephraim City Council, Wednesday, March 20th, 1985. City Police Chief, Demont Thompson attended the meeting to present the council with a proposal for the ordinance governing the sale of beer in Ephraim. Chief Thompson reported to the council that there continues to be a serious problem in the community regarding the sale of beer to minors. "Just this past week we have cited two local businesses for selling to minors and they have been found guilty of the offense", said Chief Thompson. "In addition there exists a problem with the sale of kegs and the subsequent keg parties held in the area, he explained. As a possible solution. Chief Thompson presented the Council with copies of ordinances from other cities which require the posting of a performance bond prior to the issuance of a beer licence to a local business. "Other cities have had a lot of success with this kind of ordinance in the reduction of the sale of beer to minors, indicated Chief Thompson. The way it works is that if a business is convicted of selling to a minor, that business then forfeits the performance bond and the beer license is suspended, he explained. Councilman Mike Bawden indicated to th council that he was all for any action that would make it more difficult for a minor to obtain a $ 1 ,000.00 "1 feel to we take action that need strongly that will send a message to the kids that we are serious about this", stated Councilman Bawden. "These kids need to understand that by their actions they are breaking the law and that they will be expected to pay the consequences if they continue", he said. d this discussion the Following council voted unanimously to enact an ordinance which would require the posting of a $1,000.00 bond by any business which had a beer license or any business which may apply for a beer license. A second motion was adopted directing City Attorney, Paul Frischknecht to prepare an ordinance which would prohibit the sale of, or the possession of, beer in kegs to anyone who does not have a city beer license. In one other related matter the Council voted to suspend the beer licenses of the two businesses found guilty of selling to minors for 15 days.

"We plan to send a letter to the owners of these lots and explain to them our CIcan-uCampaign. We hope to be able to solicit their help and support of the program," said Mr. Shepherd. We will also indicate to those property owners the various services that we will make available to them at a small cost such as spraying their property for weeds," he explained. Mayor Halbert Jensen indicated to the Council that he felt that it was important to get some volunteer help to clean up the industrial park. There is a great deal of glass, nails and other kinds of trash scattered around on the industrial park and it would be good for the City to have it cleaned up," said the mayor. Mrs. Shepherd indicated that the dcan-u- p committee was pleased to see that the city had begun to clean Main Street. "This is the area that gives visitors to Ephraim their first impression of our town and we are glad to see it being cleaned up, she said. Councilman Mike Bawden indicated that there was still more to be done on the cleaning and washing of Main Street and that a definite day would be set for the completion of this project. "What we need now is some volunteer help to clean the gutters along Main Street, stated Councilman Bawden. "Keep going, Many years ago 1 found myself in Vernal, Utah on a cold blustery day in January, and I had to get to Green River, Wyoming.

According to Mayor Jensen a schedule would be worked out and pick-uservice made available to those needing it. p Primary elections In other council action, a motion to exempt Ephraim City from holding primary elections was passed unanimously. According to Councilman Roy Reid, other communities in the area have had a bad experience with primary elections. I feel that the present system of nominating conventions has provided Ephraim with many candidates for city offices who have served well when elected, Councilman Reid said. That was good enough for me. "How do I get to the crossing?" 1 asked. "Just follow those bulldozer he said helpfully. Down the canyon we went, Beth with her eyes closed, and me wishing mine were.

"Shut up and drive," she glowered. Shes never let me forget that foolhardy act. Every time I drive down a road past a sign that says "Road Closed she reminds me of the incident. In fact it came to mind last Sunday afternoon. "Why don't we take a little across the west side to Ephraim?" I said to Beth. There are several hundred head of deer down there and besides Id like to see how the road is, I said. drive As we came to the River Bridge west of Manti. here is that huge sign that says "Road Closed. "Turn around," she pleaded. "They wouldn't put up a sign if it didnt mean anything." "Balderdash, I said. The road crew is always putting up signs that don't mean anything. Every time they put up a sign they leave it there for years long after the purpose of the sign has faded into oblivion. Gosc your were crossing," I said. eyes she snorted. Wait, I'm walking."

But not without her reminding me about the time we crossed the river on the ice. "I'm a lot smarter now," I reasoned.
