Nadauld urged the young women to use these qualities to bless others, to "scatter sunshine" and to be happy. Elder James E.

FREEWAY DRAINAGE SUSPECTED IN FLOODING OF FOUR NEARBY HOMES: Runoff from nearby freeway construction work was suspected in weekend flooding that inundated four homes in Midvale. Saturday's floodwaters sent several families scurrying into the streets. Area residents contend Saturday's flood was not the first time since freeway work began that their homes and yards have been soaked by runoff. Wasatch Constructors moved the freeway about 20 feet to the east last fall, narrowing the gap between residents' backyards and northbound lanes of the freeway. To facilitate the freeway shift, road crews added an extension to an exisnng storm drain and covered at least one culvert. The Midvale Fire Deparm1ent and Wasatch Constructors teamed to drain the flooded homes and yards. |
