Air Force Heritage Foundation of Utah program director Russ Sneddon said the foundations goal is to get 3,000 members from the base. He reported the drive has netted about 400 so far who contribute a $10 yearly membership fee to help spon-- . sor the museum. Sneddon welcomes private contributions for the annual membership fee of $10 which includes a 5 percent discount at base gift ships, a monthly newsletter from the foundation and a discount on membership tours.

Balling said reinforced concrete would be more durable than the rocks. He said the rocks would be more aesthetically pleasing, however. ' He said in areas where the concrete lining has been placed, many have felt the lining looks better than residents had originally thought it would. Shafter said he opposes the concept of a rock lining because the rocks may be difficult to clean. He said an object could lodge in the rocks and dam up water behind it also. . Councilman Richard Sharp said he is opposed to imbedding small rocks in the concrete because' the lining would look patchy and would not give us the appearance we want. Lawrence said he is concerned the freezing and thawing action may cause rocks to pop out of the rock lining during high stream flows. I think were just buying a headache, he said about the concept of rock lining creek channels. Balling said if property owners on one creek attempt to hold up the construction of concrete linings, the city will stop its work and work on one of the other three stream channels on the citys east bench. Instead, the city approved the concept of lining the channels with concrete. The city had originally planned to rock line stream channels that are above Orchard Drive (400 East) while providing a concrete lining for stream channels below Orchard Drive on Barton, Stone and Mill creeks as a flood con- trol measure. In coming to the decision, the Bountiful City Council reviewed bids from contractors that showed the rock lining would cost substantially more. Councilman Harold Shafter noted that bids to line 2,000 feet of stream channel with rock would cost nearly $90,000 more than to line the channel with concrete. The council, however, did approve an option that would allow property owners the alternative of a rock lining. City Engineer Jack Balling noted city officials want consistency along the stream channels, however. To rock line the channels, the concept must receive approval from a majority of residents in an area affected. The residents must also be willing to pay for any additional costs for the rock lining. Mayor Dean Stahle noted that many property owners voiced strong feelings that creek channels should be lined with rock during neighborhood meetings last summer with the city council. Balling said one contractor suggested as an alternative a cement lining with small rocks imbedded in the concrete. This creeks. - (v4 A ' s . . siles such as the Minuteman I and II and the Titan.

Review Staff FARMINGTON All Ive ever wanted to do is go home at night and say Lord, did I do what was right, says 2nd District Court Judge J. Duffy Palmer. And if he said yeah, you did pretty good, why, Id feel alright. Like a baseball umpire. Palmer has never called one wrong in his eight years on the bench. At least in his heart, he said. Palmer has received an LDS Church call to serve a mission in London, England and will be leaving the bench on March after eight years of service to the district court. But in his 33 years in the judicial system, 25 as an attorney, Palmer is a throwback to the good old days when attorneys were called lawyers. I never turned down anybody when I was practising law because they didnt have money, he said. I turned people down when I didnt believe in the cause they wanted meYo represent them 1 on. Palmer, 62, was born in Taylor, Ariz and received his law degree from the University of Utah in 1952. He and his wife Joselyn live in Syracuse ar.d have seven children. Palmer describes his judicial views as' conservative and is an advocate of victims and witnesses rights. He was appointed by President Nixon to serve on a seven-ma- n panel studying witness and victims problems in the courts. Palmer said the liberal Warren Supreme Court years set the judicial system back 100 years. They were very, very liberal on the protection of criminals and gave very little protection to the victim or witness. Palmer cites cases like the Chessman case in California where he was on death row for Fi years as examples of whats wrong with capital punishment today. If were going to have capital punishment, then it ought to be done expeditiously, he says. They ought to know what their lives are going to be. If there is any justification for capital punishment, then it ought to be done quickly. The judicial system has often come under fire from the public. Palmer said thats why he invites anyone to come into the court and listen to the system in action. The appeal system, however, has become a farce in todays judicial system, he said. I think you ought o have one appeal, Palmer said. You can give them longer to perfect their appeal but then it ought to cover everything there is an then that ought to be it. Palmer feels the same way on Photo by Robert Regan to his 2nd JUDGE DUFFY PALMER will say good-by- e District seat after eight years on the bench. Palmer will serve an LDS Mission in London, England.

Palmer said he doesn't know what his plans will be after he serves his mission but he would like to devote the rest of his life to church work. The judge will to the bench after say good-by- e March 1 and start a new life after 33 years.

And he said, Duffy, it is at the bottom but theres lots of room at the top. I think thats true even today. Bountiful Prepares for Spring Floods monitor creeks during RON KNOWLTON Review Staff Bountiful BOUNTIFUL City will not pay for work done outside by unauthorized equipment during spring runoff this year. City Manager Tom Hardy said during a Feb. city council meeting. He said many claims were made for work done during spring flooding last year. The city honored those claims, but the claims dried up city reserve 1 funds. Hardy said similar payments this year would financially bankrupt the city. This year any equipment used or work done on streams must be authorized by the city for payment to be made, Hardy said. The city also will not accept liability for unauthorized outside equipment. Hardy said the city is preparing the best we know how for the possibility of spring flooding. The city has prepared a set of guidelines. The city will have someone run-o- ff periods, Hardy said. An emergency operations center (EOC) will be set up by the city. The city will also set up community centers where sandbags will be distributed to those living along creek channels. The distribution centers will be located in school and church parking lots, Hardy said. The centers will have a stockpile of sand and 500 to 1,000 sandbags. Sandbagging along stream channels should be immediately reported to the city, Hardy said. Those involved with the EOC will wear bright yellow wind breakers so they will be easily identifiable, Hardy said. Hardy said sandbagging on public streets or diversion of water out of natural creek channels will only be done under the direction of the city. He said any unauthorized sandbagging on public property may result in lawsuits by property owners whose property is damaged by the diversion.

Emergency evacuation will be done by police loudspeaker with assistance from neighbor-hoodare- a coordinators. Although the city can not require evacuation to a designated location, evacuation centers will be established. Hardy said. . Families are encouraged to check in at the centers so all citizens can be accounted for, Hardy said. Emergency evacuation routes will also be established accord- ing to the type and location of the emergency. Hardy said. The routes will be communicated to EOC personnel, Hardy said. Hardy said many residents built sandbag dikes improperly last year. Sandbag dikes should be built into a vertical wall with support behind the wall. Hardy said some residents lined creek bed channels with sandbags last spring, rather than building a sandbag wall on the banks of the creek. The creek took many sandbags out and deposited them downstream. DO YOU HAVE A NEWS TIP CALL YOUR ILaEsesidl IHieview AREA CORRESPONDENT Published weekly and distributed FREE by carrier ever Lake.
