outside of the subdivision application process causes problems when unsuspecting buyers later attempt to both Therefore say the Holmstead and Blackham Brodericks knew what was required and then deliberately skirted the law Blackham says that such fractions are not uncommon but that they arc done in ignorance for the most part However he adds because of the growth that “it is Sanpete is experiencing becoming more of an issue “The county's interest is not to stop subdivisions but to make sure we know what’s happening and where to make sure lots are the proper sie and to make sure get building permits Blackham says ‘They aren’t allowed to get the permits because of deficiencies in the lots” he reiterates Calling this a “launching case" Blackham admits he is the Brodericks to

furnishings for the building were obtained locally without relying on outside suppliers The Ephraim Eye Center features 100 percent electronic equipment that surpasses equipment found in much larger cities The center has three and four employees including Cummings’ wife Becky Cummings is alwajs willing to accept resumes from other potential employees The center also accommodates Dr Matthew Parsons an eye surgeon from Provo who sees patients on the first Tuesday of each month as well as audiologist Keith Reber from the Intermountain Hearing Center who is there on the second and fourth

(Continued fromAl) After serving an LDS atsion to France Cummings tended Utah State University where he met his wife They were married in 1993 He was accepted at Indiana University in Bloomington before he had completed his bachelor’s degree Even so he finished his bachelor and doctorate degrees there in 6 12 years (the doctorate program usually takes 8 years) He did internships in Colorado Wyoming and Salt Lake City and then in 2000 the mis- Cummings family moved to He was the only memhis graduating class to open his own clinic immediately after interning The Cummings have four children: Alie 8 Samantha 6 Daniel 5 and Nathan 2 12 “I’m from Fillmore and Becky is from Castledale and so we settled in Ephraim halfway between both grandparents” said Ephraim ber of Cummings “We have such a great appreciation for everyone in the county who has supported us in our dream for this facility” said Cummings When he first envisioned the size of the building Cummings was reluctant to discuss it even with his wife “Is it too big?’ he finally asked her She replied that if he didn’t build it someone bigger would come along As he consulted with others in the field he was told to “build it bigger than you think you’ll need” opened one week after Cummings moved from the Worthington building to his terim office at 650 N Main St “It competition was the best thing for us” he said “People need a choice and we fill a need that doesn’t” Patient education is of primary importance to Cummings His computer programs allow him to explain in detail the intricacies of his patients’ ailments “Patients must expect the best” he said Gunnison sewer on occasion and you have a conflict that is nearing the boiling point Rep Bradley Johnson who represents Gunnision in the Legislature and who has tried to be a mediator between the city and state attended Monday’s meeting He told council members that he was running out of patience and that it was time to play “political hard ball” He promised to get Gov Olene Walker involved “The DFCM has always been a thorn in my side” he said adding that he had similar problems when the DFCM hedged on a project in Richfield some time ago “I can’t see what all the fuss is about I’m going up there tomordon’t row and speak with them see any reason for them to act like that We’ll get some pressure on them” Council member Rodney Taylor said that in order to salvage the project Gunnison needs state But he said that money the city is in a good position to negotiate with the prison and ought not panic “They need the project more than we do at this point” he said “We’re not doing our job if we put the citizens in the position to subsidize the prison” All seated at die council table agreed that if the prison doesn’t cooperate on its end “we shut ’em off” from use of the current sewer system As for overages die council discussed the option of putting a surchaige on the prison Taylor said that such a solution would “insure a flow rate of Make Things Right! up to 250 gpm and no more” In the past flow overages at the prison have caused sewer backups and flooding in the basements of city residents Hermansen indicated that if the DFCM does not budge on the issue and refuses to release funds for the sewer the deal will be offi After discussion about the prison and the sewer the council moved on to the Sanpitch River Walkway a proposed walking and bike path along the Sevier Rived The walkway would run east and west between 200 East and 200 West and would include an underpass under US 89 In addition Nay says that she hopes the project would include modifications to 200 East near the creek to make it safer for traffic and children who walk along the creek enroute to school The Utah Department of ‘ Transportation (UDOT) has proved $240000 for the project1 and Nay said that the Community Impact Board (CIB) has approved a loan of up to $200000 The loan which the CIB is offering at zero percent interest would take 20 years to pay off said Nay However she believes that the city only needs $ 00000 of it She! added however that additional UDOT grant money — perhaps up to another $100000 — is “highly probable” Thus funding could run' anywhere from $340000 to $440000 Councilman Steve Buchanan was concerned about the amount saying “Four blocks for that kind of money? That’s mighty expen-sive for a walkway!” PERSONALIZED MISSIONARY CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS Includes ideas for stocking stuffers anDamUSSenatecom Call Sunnie Brown 528-354- 6 Snow College presents SHOW (mu Sanpete News Company Inc publishing the GUNNISON Sanpete VALLEY EDITION October 22nd 2004 at 7:00 pm Eccles Performing Arts Center Messenger Member Utah Press Association Deadlines Post Office & Tickets are $10 community$6 students uxrvnr Contact Information UPS Copyright Sanpete News Company lnc©2004 All rights or transmittal of all matter herein is served Reproduction prohibited without prior written permission of the publisher Published each Wednesday for 75e each $24 00 inside Sanpete County $27 00 outside Sanpete County by Sanpete News Company Inc 35 S Mam Manti Utah 84642 Phone fax suzanneSsanpetemessengercom newsSsanpetemessengercom HoydSsanpetemessengercom publisher stones to adS to Deadline: Thursday 5 pm Manti: 35 S Main Hours: Periodicals Postage Paid at mailing offices POST ASTER: Sanpete Messenger Send address 3S Main 9 Manti am to 6 pm Utah 64642 and at additional changes Manti Ur Utah 84642 Editor & Publisher Associate Publisher Senior Reporter Suzanne Dean Lloyd Call Sean Hales John Hales Jacque Marsh Lindsay Kogianes Kelly Hancock Ben Fox Assignment Reporter Office Manager Administrative Assistant Webmaster Editorial Assistant Staff Manti Ftn Green Gunnison Centerfield Axtell Judy Chantry C R Truitt Darlene Agren Elva Jensen Audrey Boore Moroni Mayfield Spring City Staff Writers Sports Writers Photographers Columnists Shirley Bahlmann Lyons Margaret Amy Holly Nicholes Erika Johnson Kathy Eggleston Bob BahlmannDoug Johnson Jeff Ericksen Craig Cox and Coaches Bob Bahlmann Sean Hales Vem Buchanan Peter Goss Russ Beck Roger Baker Corrie Lynn Player Contributing Writer Jana Wahlquist Karen Buchanan Anita DON’T MISS AN EVENING OF GREAT ENTERTAINMENT I 4 it Winner of the 2003 Best of State Award for “Best Vocal Group " 2003 FCMA Pearl Award for Best Recording Artist of the Year '’ TTt frHrt ifliirfV n I |
