ordered Dove to pay full restitution to his victims a bill that could reach $15 million Deputy Utah County Attorney Craig Madsen said he doubts the debt will ever be repaid “The tooth fairy doesn't exist" he said Dove asked the court to spare him the prison sentences so that he could continue to support his family and pay baca his victims Park denied the request Dove was charged with defrauding the state and several counties out of $52 million in sales taxes by underreporting his sales receipts to the State Tax Com mission Other sales tax evasion victims were local governments in Provo Spanish Fork Gunnison Richfield Hcber City Kanab and Springville and Delta All were Dove’s grocery store locations and all share sales tax receipts with the state Delta's share is about $110000 Madsen

expand his chain Park gave Dove until Monday Sept 10 to get his affairs in order before reporting to the Utah County Sheriffs Office for transportation to the prison Dove now works as a clerk at his grocery store in Nevada He earns $400 a week Utah County and slate officials began investigating Dove when he filed Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy in late 1988 The bankruptcy trustee persuaded the bankruptcy court to change the filing to a Chapter 7 liquidation when he decided Dove could not pay his debts State investigators then discovered Dove had underreported sales taxes owed from 1983 to 1988 Officials then learned the slate would likely not be able to recovery anything from the proceedings because the state had failed to list itself as a priority creditor Leamarado Day activities

and a youth dance The following written Leamington by resident Floyd Bradfleld is a tribute to and remembrance of John and LeamHattie Johnson also ington residents now deceased) By Floyd Bradfleld With newspaper and television ads announcing back to school sales we have to conclude even if we don’t want to that summer is coming to an end and fall is approaching This also means that plans for the annual Leamarado Day celebration are already under way This year 1990 is the year that the people of Leamington have sponsored this event For many years the Veterans had Leamington charge of the affairs then the Ward took over and now the Mayor and Town Council plan the activities of the day Most of the townspeople assist in many ways to see that the day is a success Two people who were residents of Leamington but have now passed on were John and Hattie Anderson They owned a store in the upper part of town which supplied the needs of the people for many years This store was torn down early this year and the trees removed from the lot which leaves an empty spot in the memory of those who knew and enjoyed things as they used to be Perhaps it seems mare empty to me was my John Anderson because mother’s brother Many of our town’s former reiidents who return for this yew’s celebration will have mixed feelings when they see the bare spot where the Anderson Store once stood John William Anderson was bom Sept 11 1882 in Fountain Green Sanpete County to Hans Peter Emil and Betti Mayer Anderson John's father died Feb 2 1891 leaving a wife and seven children In 1896 the Anderson family moved to Fillmore and then in 898 they moved to Learn in g ton w here they lived on a farm that the oldest son Emil had purchased They lived on this farm for two years in a log house which had a wooden floor in one room and a dirt floor in the other A well just north of the house supplied water John's mother Bettie got a job cooking on the McIntyre Ranch Several of her children also worked for the McIntyres who hired forty to fifty people in the summer months In June 1901 she purchased a house on five acres of ground located in the center of town The sellers were Lars and Sidsel Nielson and the price $850 For many years after she had passed on this house was known as the Bettie Anderson Home John Anderson first met Hattie when he came to Leamington Hattie was bom in Goshen Utah June 12 1883 to Mary Ann Partridge and John 1 Carson The Carsons moved to Fairfield when Hattie was a baby They resided there for four years and then moved to Provo Bench in 1888 From there they moved to Leamington in 1892 Hattie’s father homesteaded a farm in the east part of Leamington Hattie and John along with the town’s other young people attended school and church activities Mutual parties and dances and wagon and horse back rides On December 6 1905 they were married in the Salt Lake Temple John farmed what was known in those days as the Pete Mayer farm which is located east of town This farm is now owned by Max Nielson They built a home just west of John's mother’s house which still stands but has been empty for years Two of John's sisters Bertha Brad fie Id and Elverda Passwaters worked u cooks when railroad track was being built in Lynndyl and also in Nevada John and Hattie went along to help living in tents while they were there In 1909 John was hired to help survey and build the High Line Canal that runs miles from Rocky Ford to Holden Transportation was limited to so the crews camped out and moved along as the canal was being built Hattie got the job of cooking for the crew of seventeen men The surveying crew then moved to what was known as Leamington Hill (about four miles west of town) and surveyed and laid out the town site which later became Lynndyl John and Hattie and John’s sister Elverda took on a big project In 1910 they started the building of an amusement hall just west of our old church here in Leamington The carpenters were Ernest Foot from Nephi and A M Harder from Leamington The hall measured 50 X 83 feet including the stage A confectionery was built onto the east side and measured 14 X 28 feet The stage itself was fourteen square feet It took two railroad cars of lumber to build this hall To furnish music for the Hall John and Hattie sent to New York State for a pipe organ that cost $750 The freight bill to get it here was $107 This organ was powered by a gasoline engine and played music on rolls Later on they purchased a player piano that also cost $750 The first dance in the Anderson Hall was held in May 191 with music by an orchestra from Oak City There was no electricity in those days so the hall was lit with gas lights The gas pipes ran all around the hall and there were lamps every so often There was a pump and tank behind the confectionery door to the gas could be pumped to all the lights at the same time The Andersons made ice cream to sell in their confectionery using a freezer powered by a gas motor During the summer months they made ice cream to sell here in town nearly See LEAMARADO Page 2 81 No 5 August 23 199Q 1 Warnick - Teacher of the year Waldo Wamick Jr has been named Millard
