Show t I 4 V Just Between You And Ms We ought to be able to come up with a few words of brilliance, what with the election coming up and the city fathers wiping out a set of tried and true ordinances and replacing them with a patterned set drawn up by some lawyer up north. -- 0 But our mind and thoughts are with others this week. Roldo Turner, friend and neighbor was struck down with a heart attack Tuesday morning. Though 74, Roldo was vital and alive. He was interested and cared about friends and community. Well miss him. Clair Lee is in LDS Hospital reroving from open heart surgery. He went in for a routine checkup on his broken ankle, and they kept him. Richard Jefferson is recuperating from surgery at home, as is Kate McDonald likewise at home, recuperating from a recent fall. Each has been active in community, good neighbors and friends. Several are in or have held public office. People who were involved, and except for Roldo will lie again. - ' - v . ' ' x: '!4, y ''4 t K'v- - v,, - .

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1984-Vol- ume 84-- No, 40 1 .m trweatfien -- Gomel adopts complete n m booti of ordinances fell swoop the Milford CounMonday night repealed all of the existing MilfordCity Ordinances and replaced them with a set of model ordinances written by an attorney for the Utah League of Cities and Towns. While tlie ordinances have been in the process (theoretically) for approximately two years, they were only received a tew months ago, and reviewed by the City Council and attorney, and supposedly adapted to M llford. And while they have been available for review for over 30 days, in their final form, only three books have been available, and it was almost necessary to spend time at the city offices to review them. Red Wilson being the only protester during the nearly two years, the Council went ahead with the adoption of the ordinances in total, noting that while they had not advertised them for review or set up a citizen committee to review them, that Wilson had editorialized Editor enough about them that if citizens were interested they would have indicated an interest. Mayor Pettey said there was nothing to be gained by citizen review and that it was a working document that will require changes. Wilson opposed the ordinances on the basis that they were being adopted in total, and that a review committee was not allowed to compare them word for word with existing ordinances. He also recommended that they be published so that citizens could be Informed. Manager Raines recommended that the new dog ordinance be advertised, because it changes the at large portion of the law to require that dogs be under the control of the owner at all times. This is a change in the old law, which allowed dogs to run at large during certain hours. Other major changes in the ordinances may not become known until citations are written, or enough books are made available to allow for citizen review. Alice Elmer and Dan Baudlno were present for the public hearlngto vacate the street next to Elmers (It had never been developed). There were no protests, and in later action, the Council voted to vacate the street. Leo Nelson said he'd signed up and paid for a water meter before July 1 and it hadnt been Installed. He either wanter it installed or his money back. He also asked for Interest on his money and the benefit of the water meter rate. Manager Raines said that the meter would be Installed as the city crew had time and got to his name on the list. The Council did not authorize interest or credit for the difference in rates. Kim Wallace of Bush L Cudgel met with the Council for the bid opening on the supplies for the sewer project. Of five bids, J 4i J Mill and Lumber of St. George was low with a bid of $31,882.50. All bids will be checked for accuracy to specifications and contract will be awarded at the next meeting. 1; Other bids were: W.R. White, Amcor, $44,155.50; Geneva Pipe, $46,874.05; Plumbers Supply, $34,494.49. The engineers estimate was $48,000.00 Frank Selgmlller, of Creamer & Noble presented an updated plan for the airport and Council authorized the Mayor to sign it.Seigmillerthen In one cil $39,-703.1- 20-3- The following weather information is provided by the National Weather Service compliments of the Milford Weather Station. explained the progress on repairing or replacing of the airport runway, stating that R.A.

Negotiations will continue. (Continued on page 2) Precipitation last year to date was 0.72 inches.

Little opposition voiced to veer-roun- d fishing There was little opposition to year round fishing voiced at the Wildlife Resources Division of meeting in Beaver last Friday. In fact, there were very few present for one of only two meetings in the state. Dale Hepworth, DWR spokesman, said the only opposition came from Panqultch Lake Interests, and was largely due to the fact that Lake already has a winter fishing season, and doesn't want it spread over the rest of the state. A draft of the proposed DWR fishing regulations were read to the group, proposing that most waters in the state be opened to year round fishing. This includes all waters in Beaver, Juab, Millard and Iron Counties. Pan-gult- ch Of most interest was Minersville Reservoir, which due to flooding in 1983-8- 4, has not been agood fishery and has hit local entrenpreuers very hard. While they had no objections to a year round fishery, they suggested that limits be placed on the lake to protect the fishery. These included reducing the limit to six in the summer and four in winter. Weight and length limits were also discussed. Hepworth told the COUNTY NEWS that chemical to treat Minersville Reservoir has been shipped and should arrive next week. Plans now are to treat the reservoir for rough fish on October 17 and 18 if the reservoir does not fill up beyond the point which makes it feasible. The treatment was previously non lifts planned at Lit. Holly resort of the sld area told members of the Beaver Valley Chamber last Thursday. The new lifts will provide badly needed beginner and intermediate skiing to the resort In addition to the present ski runs. Church said the new lifts may both come next year, but tnat definitely one will be built. The new management will not only operate the lifts and lodge, but will also be la charge of the total operation including condo building and sales. He said that another facet of the new management is lower lift rates, $7-0- 0 daily and $12.00 on weekends, a considerable saving over other ski areas. They hope to triple the largest previous year attendance, and overcome the image of tte , past. The resort will be open dally from approximately Thanksgiving through the spring, as long as sufficient snow is available. Wo want to make Mt. Holly a destination ski area, Church said, as he enumerated the excellent terrain now available, with the recent Forest Service land exchange. They promised to work closely with local motel operators and the Chamber to provide accomodations. We dont now have adequate accom modatlons to handle the 'skllers, Church said. -- HEARING OH SCHEDULED PROJECT BOLD At the request of Utah's Senators Jake Gam and Orrln Hatch, the Senate Subcommittee on Public Lands and Reserved Water will hold a public tearing Tuesday, Octoter 2 1984 at 9:00 a.m. in SD-3ofthe Dlrksen Senate Office Building, on a measure to Improve the land ownership patterns and management of state and federal lands in the state of Utah the "Project Bold legislation. The subcommittee will receive testimony on 6. 2949. 66 ed doesnt known. Most leaders and office holders welcome your ideas and input into problems, legislation or activity, If its (onstrurtive. But they resent lack of citizen participation in the process, and condemnation after the fact. -- 0 We dont condemn the city fathers for their attempt to update the city We agree that they ordinances. should be updated, and put in a form where they are all available for reference. We do condemn local citizens for failure to get Involved Inthe change. We feel that the city fathers should have made a sincere attempt to involve a citizen review committee. -- 0 Weve only had opportunity to review a couple of ordinances. We found areas In each, which we feel will bring down the wrath of local citizens, if enforced. But, theyll get little sympathy - scheduled for September 8, but water was too high for the chemical available. This could happen again since water usage both above and below the reservoir has been cut to almost nothing. But If the treatment Is accomplished as scheduled, the reservoir will be stocked with flngerlings. It will be closed from January 1st to September 14th and will open Sept. 15, 1985 with a bag limit of four fish, with a local recommendation to include a size limit or decrease the bag limit to two fish for the winter months. 27-2- - - show up. Special committees take weeks, even months to function. Many arthats what we elected you gue for Whyshould we get involved' - 0 have you heard, everyWhos body knows where I stand! everybody, your neighbor? We believe that leaders, whether they are heading the local civic or service club, or are elected to city, state or national office, county, really want your opinion. They really want you to become Interested and How often involved. But they dont want to wait until after the votes have been counted, then and the laws are in effect criticized by saying what in hell did you do that for? Most welcome you to attend their meetings, but they make it easy for you to take care of your business, and leave. And most of you do just that! - -- 0 believe that America has the greatest system m the world. It works at all levels. But it only works well with citizen involvement. Its very likely we will elect a president by a landslide on November 6th. But its more than possible that the total vote will be less than a majority of the registered We voters. Thats not a landslide thats a disgrace! And even ninety percent who do get out and go to he polls, will then go back home and watch the newlywed game or some other such bit of trash, and let those elected shift for themselves. -- 0 But they wont be without advice. Every day some radical group demonstrates on the White House steps. Washington D.C. has more lobbyists for special interest groups than Congressmen and Senators. Theyll get more advice than you can imagine but it wont come from the general it will come from spepopulace cial interest groups. The rest of us will belly arhe over the back yard fence or over a cup of coffee. We wont act, well only react if we get our toes stepped on, or think were going to. The channels are still open. Shall we become involved. Or shall we let others make the important decisions that affect everyone. We hope youll decide its not too late, and get involved at some level. IV eve got a good thing going. Its tieen around over 200 years. Lets keep it' - OTA csbs cements on poncr allocation Tujo Two new ski lifts are in the planning for Mt. Holly, Barry Church, spokesman for the new management - -- 0 do much good to sit back and belly ache after the election is over, or after the laws are passed. What good Is it to condemn the city fathers, commissioners, legislators or other leaders, if you dont care enough to find out what is going on. To make your wishes and ideas It from this writer. We attend meeting after meeting where decisions are made affecting the local citizens. But for the most part, ye ol Redhead is the only one in attendance. Sure a few with a special interest show up long enough to grind the ax. Then they leave. -- 0 Is this the fault of those in charge' Not on your life! There are few instances where they have not tried to involve committees and local input. They hold public hearings, special meetings, and try to take the problems to the people. But few, if any, Revisions to the Proposed Post 1989 General Power MarketlngCri-terl- a and AIIck atlon Criteria for Salt Lake area projects were published in the Federal Register Sept. 4. The revisions were made by the Western Area Power Administrations (WAPA) Salt Lake City office after more than 1500 public comments were analyzed. WAPA will atcept comments on the revised proposal until Octotier 2G.
