Show j Four File Tuesday In Last Minute Rush m : Ai Mine Candidates WEST VALLEY. With 15 minutes left before the deadline Tuesday, Daniel Tuttle became the ninth candidate for the city councils at large seat. Five persons filed for office on the final day. All five are seeking the at large seat being vacated by Larry Bunkall, who decided two weeks ago not to seek ; They joned three other candidates who filed on Monday, one for each of the three offices which will be before voters on Nov. 8. determine which two candidates, from the nine who filed, will advance to the November ballot. In addition to having the largest number of candidates, the at large race also has the most interesting matchups. It features a city councilman currently on leave of absence, a former state legislator, a former city official who weathered West Valleys stormy beginning, a former city firefighter and two previous candidates for office. In somewhat of a surprise move, District 1 Councilman Mike Embley, 2584 Dublin Dr., filed Tuesday for the at large seat. He currently is on leave of absence from council duties, serving as acting County elections are not Primary necessary in Districts 1 and 3; only two candidates filed for each of terms.

If the case proceeds from the current hearing to a full trial, Embley probably will be required to resign from office and drop out of the at large race, city officials noted. Embley filed shortly after former State Representative Reed Palmer, 4647 Dartmouth, turned in his candidacy papers to City Recorder Kathy Kaumans. While in the 24 Pages WeaWalHey legislature, Palmer worked closely with city officials in both the current administration and former commission. His candidacy was welcomed by leading members of the administration, one city official noted. Also filing Tuesday was Ron Day, 3717 So. 5200 West. He was administrative assistant to commissioners Jerry Wagstaff and Renee Mackay after the citys incorporation, but left that position after run-in- s with former Mayor Henry (Hank) Price and, later, the commissioners. Those three joined Howard Smith, 3960 Meadow Green Dr., and Tuttle, 3844 So. 2080 West, in filing for office on the final day. One day earlier, Orson Anderson, 4009 Acord Way, became the fourth at large candidate, the first three being Ray Heidt, 3494 Meadowbrook Dr.; Gertrude Paul, 3341 W. 4460 South; and Ben Amorelli, 3796 So.

Janson acknowledged the street would still function as a major thoroughfare without the striking appearance previously proposed. To reduce the impact on the neighborhood, Rothwell proposed a wood fence along the south sidewalk with trees inside the residential property line. The City Planning Commission endorsed that proposal, but the City Council doesnt like wood fences, claiming they deteriorate quickly. The council suggested a colored chain link fence flanked by landscaping such as vines or pyracan-tha- . WEST VALLEY. The City Council .will consider a request tonight (Thursday) to reduce the width of 'two proposed streets in the citys northern section. The unbuilt streets in 'question are 2700 South from 3600 to 5600 West, and 4000 West from 2700 to 3100 South. The streets are key arterials in what is known as the Westlakes Development, a potentialproly huge industrial-residentiject which West Valley officials have looked to with interest as a major source of tax revenue, employment right-of-wa- al opportunities and. population u t growth. The owners of Westlakes requested the street size reduction through their agent, Hank Rothwell, who has been involved in the project since 1979, wfien IVory and Company tt purchased the property from Copper Corp. Since that time, however, the economy went sour and ownership of the property has changed hands twice. The cost of building the roads and the development prompted the request for the width reductions, city officials said. Generally, the council indicated it y would reluctantly accept the reduction. . right-of-wa- Ken-neco- 2700 4000 West The same cannot be said of Rothwells suggestion to reduoe the right-of-wa- 66 on 4000 West from, 80 to y feet. Newman recommended' the change not be made, contending the larger roadway would be needed to carry heavy traffic loads to 2100 South. f We still dont know what were going to do (with other roadways). We shouldnt close the door here with discussions ( going on) elsewhere, Newman said. The discussions open-ende- d which he vaguely referred to was the undetermined status of West Valley Highway. A draft environmental imopen-ended pact statement (EIS) on the highway projected for about 3800 West is nearing completion. While the council did not discuss the highway, the Planning Commission debate focused almost entirely on whether the highway would be built beyond 2700 South. Westlakes-- and the city currently are combining to build the highway to that point from 2100 South. Whether it goes beyond that point is questionable. A lengthy series of hearings will have to be held after the EIS is finished. Then city and county officials will have to commit large sums of money to its construction. South planned between 2700 and 2900 South. Plans were originally developed around a street, but the city later adopted a master street plan showing an width. The wider street could prevent an interested builder from developing a subdivision in the area, he warned the commission. But Newman and Councilman Brent Anderson both said 4000 West will be a major commuter street and indicated they felt it unwise to make it narrower. Their position coincided with the minority opinion in a Planning Commission vote. The majority of the Planning Commission voted to accept Rothwells proposal,- believing West - Valley-Highwawould be built beyond 2700, thus eliminating the need for 4000 West to carry a major load of traffic. The minority felt it was premature to make that judgment, since the EIS isnt finished and funding for construction is hardly guaranteed. right-of-wa- - Trail Bike Sells -- The Magna mans experience isnt unusual.

As a result, Rothwell proposed an alternative plan which would not reduce the traffic-carryin- g capacity of the roadway but would eliminate the amenities. He suggested the median be eliminated, along with the landscaped area on the south side. The street would then be separated from the residential area to the south by 10 feet - six feet of bike path and a sidewalk. A fence would be placed right. on the property line, Rothwell said.

An estimated students are expected to be on hand this morning (Thursday) as classwork gets under, way in Granite School District. The projected numbers show small growth over the 65,229 that were listed in April. Of the total, are elementary students, 37,712 14,224 are projected in the junior high schools and the eight high schools are anticipating 11,823 An additional 1,554 have been registered in special education programs. The district has 240 new teacher Officials speculate that several thousand high school students may receive notices of exclusion .for failure to comply with Utahs lew immunization laws. As the law goes into its sedond year, it calls for all senior High students to furnish documentation of having received at least four doses of DTP or TD vaccine, three doses of polio vaccine and one dose each of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Exemption is allowed for medical, religious or personal reasons. At the beginning of the 1984-8- 5 school year, records will be required for all students. Last year it applied to kindergarteners and those new to the system. At least a month and a year must be completed for each student. Parental memory is acceptable except for those entering kindergarten where documented information is required, according to State Health Dept, sources If by the second week of school the necessary information has not been provided, students will be sent home. Information about the new law was made available to parents in registration packets. On Monday night the Granite Board of Education officially ratified the agreement with the districts 2,987 teachers, after having delayed that action to ascertain whether faculty representatives 65,313 would attach any work to contract language to their ratification process. While none was attached, in faculty meetings held TuesdfSy, there was considerable discussion of what must be perceived as unhappiness with the contract. Rank and file teachers, however, especially on the elementary level, have been putting in a considerable amount of extra time in preparation for the new year. In the weeks preceding the openthe majority of our staff has put in many, many hours of their own time preparing for students. This was done before contracts were ratified and without pay. Teachers do indeed go far beyond contract time and I am impressed by their dedication and appreciative of their interest in their students, commented Glen Drew, principal of Farnsworth . The Granite Education Assn, released results of the balloting carried out to ratify the contracts. Of 2,500 members, 1,602 returned ballots, with only 212 voting against ratification.- - Fifty-twpercent, 840, supported the working to contract proposal. Howeyer, that is only 28 percent of the total teaching staff. It was unknown how many of the more than 1,000 who had already signed contracts participated in the voting. Job action seems highly unlikely. However, educators in all facets of the profession are expected to make their message to the State Legislature quite clear in the coming months. .

Then she blushed and hastily addI mean without dress ed, clothes! That instigated laughter from both of us and brought to our mind the whiskered story about the court martial of Lt. Jones.

This day, however, we were suitably attired for the sport in which we were participating -boating. And had just returned from a splashing visit to Flaming Gorge and Bear Lake. Not that theres anything wrong with dressing sloppily. When the opportunity affords, we love it. Getting rid of a necktie is akin to being reprieved from a prison sentence. Wearing sneakers instead of dress shoes affords a great opportunity to spread out your toes and breathe a sigh of relief. In other words, to some of us that sort of attire is a genuine luxury - simply because there are constant dress demands on our lifestyle. Partly, the generation gap has entered into it. When we broke into newspapering, people expected a reporter to look the part. But in more recent years, any attire has become acceptable. Weve seen em arrive at meetings dressed as though theyd just been mowing the lawn. Maybe they had. And if they had, what difference did it make? Whats important with a reporter is what he puts in print, not whether the knot of his tie is or Windsor. You see, so many folks of our generation have trouble letting their hair down. Not everyone-ju- st those whove been accustomed over the years to dressing four-in-ha- well. How often weve envied the guy whose job demanded that he wear overalls, coveralls, an open-nec- k He could shirt or a t. even sidestep the razor from time tee-shir- to time and no one would complain. Evidently much of the generation that followed ours decided clothing is only an outward symbol and dressing well isnt really necessary in the proper performance of a job - any job. Yet theres that adage that clothes make the man and the parallel one that first impressions are lasting. In our younger days, reporters wouldnt have thought of being clad in anything but best dress" when walking into an interview with a public figure. Oh you might loosen your tie a trifle -maybe unbutton the collar and hold it together with the tie as a cool-of- f measure. But youd never have gotten by the receptionist if youd been dressed as many of todays news reporters are.
