At least two or three times each winter, homeowners living in Sanpete County appear at County Commission meetings to request that their roads be maintained, snowplowed, graveled, and so on. While sympathetic, generally the Commission declines to assist those who live in subdivision developments. - . ' " " . ' v ' . a.

Badgers drop to 0-- 3 with heartbreaker loss to Phoenix by Steve Peterson At the end of play the score is Arizona J.C.s 3 Snow College 0, as the Badgers from Ephraim dropped their third straight game', this one to Phoenix College 2 Saturday in Ephraim. The winning point came on a field goal by Joe Ortiz of Phoenix with just 29 seconds to go in the game. The Badger defense held Phoenix to one TD, but the two field goals by Ortiz were the difference. Kenny Rock, star running back for the Bears who had 139 yards in last week's season opener for Phoenix, was held to 15 yards by the powerful Snow defensive line. Snow had 276 yds. total offense to PCC's 262, but like last weeks game against Mesa, the offense couldn't make the big play when they needed it. Coach Walt Criner decided to go with sophomore QB Eric Putoto who was 9 for 22 for 101 yards passing. The most exciting part of Snows attack was young Trey Nicholson, freshman tailback from Iowa, who carried the ball 23 times for 142 yards and one TD. conference play. The Badger defense will be busy, as Ricks has scored 71 points in their ftrst two games of the season.

It can be deadly, even in small concentrations, warns the National Safety Countil. The gas irritates the lung tissue and may bring on a very serious case of pneumonia hours after the original exposure. Plants that have taken up nitrates from the soil faster than they have been able to convert them to protein may instead produce N02 in the silage making process. Further oxidation creates the toxic N02. A variety of conditions can lead to this situation including drought, early frost, insect of cultivation damage, hail damage and heavy weeds.

The area just above the silage is most apt to have a dangerous concentration of silo gas, so be sure to ventilate before attempting to remove any of the doors immediately above the settled silage. A detection device to check for silo gas in the chute or silo room can be prepared right on the farm. Prepare a solution of two grams of corn starch and two grams of potassium iodide in 85 grams (3 oz.) of water. Spray the r disc until solution onto a soaked, then dry it in an oven for about 115F. Fold a piece of tape over the edge of the dried disc and punch a small hole for hanging. To use the test disc, dampen with water and hang it in the chute or silo area. If the disc turns purple, silo gas is present. The disc may be used only once, but the dry discs can be stored for future use if kept in a sealed plastic container. filer-pape- If you feel that you may have been exposed to silo gas, see your doctor immediately. Timely treatment may prevent the dreaded pneumonia from developing later.

Under the code weve adopted, developers are advised when they come in here with development or subdivision projects that they must provide for the maintenance of the roads they construct themselves. Either that, or the homeowners association for that particular must have the development responsibility. The decision between the developer and the homeowners in the development, as to who will maintain - the roads, should be outlined in the protective covenants. But its not the countys responsibility," Commissioner Newt Donaldson noted at a commission meeting when the subject came up. Even if the homeowners or developers agree to deed the road to the county, the county generally has been slow to- - accept the transfer. "We dont have the money or the men and equipment to keep all these little county subdivision roads cleared, especially on the north formed a few years ago, one of the chief concerns of the 85 Sanpete citizens forming the Grst committees on the code was the sudden loss of access to familiar mountain retreats due to development in the foothills. residents Then, many "old-tim- BEST ENTERTAINMENT VALUE!
