$165000 from its Permanent Impact Fund Board (CIB) Delta City Administrator Jim Allan said the city had previously asked the hoard for $195 (XX) "1 he CIB told us to approach the Community Development Block Grant people for the balance They said if we failed we could tty the CIB again" Mr Allan said Delta City hopes the CIB will come up with the $30 (XX) difference The drains which collect runoff and underground water cleanse the heavily alkaline soil which make fanning possible in this area But the drains are considered a health hazard as they aie a breeding ground for bugs and mosquitoes and are also a safety hazard because curious childien are attracted u them Delta City PublieWurks Supervisor Neil Torster said the current project should result in at least 65 percent of the drains being covered within the Delta City limits The open ditch drains will be replac :d with 24 to 36 inch galvanized pipe which will be surrounded by crushed gravel and a special "filter fabric" which will allow the salty runoff to enter the diain at special joints while blocking the silt and sediment Mr Forester said the new covered drains are essential to the city's health and welfare O' AP t" i J f j

Club has once again shown that their support of the community is more than talk During their regular meeting last week the Lions presented immediate past president Devon Peterson and current Commander Alan Burras'on of the West Millard Sheriffs Posse with a check for $500 toward meeting the voluteer group expenses Mr Burraston told the Lions the Posse is now 30 members strong and very involved in many aspects of search and rescue in assisting the Millard County Sheriff’s Deputies Posse members are Class II Utah Peace Officers w ho take an oath of office just like regular deputies They can be instated with full powers of deputies Comupon the Sheriff’s discretsion mander Burraston said Posse members are on standby "Last year we had 45 with 31 major calls including two full Mr Burraston said Typical posse calls are for mountain and desert searches of people stranded downed Other aircraft or missing persons duties include water rescue undercover and espatrol guard duty caped prisoner searches In addition at least four posse members are pilots and ten are qualified scuba divers However Commander Burton said the posse’s greatest strength in search and resuce is in their numbers “With all of our people we are able to cover a lot of ground” he said The posse also assumes responsibility to increase skills at what they do “We are able to a lot of things but are constantly trying to learn new things so that we can be better prepared to help the Sheriffs Department” Mr Peterson said Several of the posse members national recently completed a search and rescue school The posse is routinely seen pei forming traffic control at 4th of July celebrations and other special activities such as the recent Boy Scout and Posse service is voluntary members pay for all their own vehicle expenses and radio equipment does supply fuel during the search and rescue operations Beyond t this the posse maintains certain equipment such as a bivouac bus and rescue equipment Currently the posse is trying to get mountain climbing gear such as ropes and protection Commander Burraston gave a typical example of the posse’s lifesaving efforts when a St George woman became disoriented and walked away from her car into the woods near Holden "We had gotten to the point in the search where the dogs couldn't get anything and we had just about exhausted our efforts at a systematic grid walking search” said “Then a full two days after the woman’s car was found w ith the keys locked inside one of our seach and rescue pilots saw her walking a ridge above the searchers" Since the night time temperatures had been near zero the searchers could hardly believe they had found a warm walking body but the woman dressed only in light clothing had survived the two days and nights on the mountain "Her family was certainly glad to see her and that made it all worthwhile” Commander Burraston said Devon Peterson (I) and cisco Colqui Hinckley Alan Lions Burraston of the West Millard Sheriff Posse
