Show f Uni Mtcrofilftinu Corp Jtn, Box 260b Slt Uk City, Utah UjlGl Meeting held to discuss downtown development Whether or not the proposed plan lor updating Paysons- - downtown section is built as planned will' ultimately be up to Payson City Council, said Dave McMuHin, Payson City attorney, at the close of a hearing to determine wishes of property owners in the area. The hearing was held Monday evening in the City Council Chambers with Mayor Howard Riley presiding. The meeting was arranged so that property owners in the district would have opportunity to make known their protests to the project, which has been legally advertised in the past four issues of the Payson Chronicle (Sept. 24, Oct. 1, 8 and 15). Approximately 23 of the 45 property owners filed a written protest with the city recorder, Ronal Crump, prior to the meeting. About 20 citizens attended the meeting. Spokesmen for those objecting to the project were Byron Dastrup and Earl Page. Mr. Dastrup pointed out that it would be a mistake to build over the old water mains that need replacement, stating that Mutual girls show good citizenship First year Mia Maids of the Payson Fifth Ward recently demonstrated that they are developing reliable citizenship. A delegation of three girls, Sharon Shabe, Joan Page and Mary Kate Durrant, who represented the class but who were not responsible for the damage, were brought td Nephi by their teacher, Mrs. Holly Broadhead, to meet with Ranger Harold E, Laird to pay for facilities which were broken, while the girls were camping in the Payson Lakes Campground. While at the campground about 10 girls in this class caused minor damage to the facilities. They reported what they had done to their leader and the class of 19 girls decided that all would cooperate and pay for the damage. The significance of this action by the girls according to Ranger Harold E. Laird is their honest and repentent attitude. The incident happened last July when there were approximately 200 girls here using the area for a certification hike. This groups desire to make restitution is very commendable. So many times damage results in a campground from a group using an area. In this case it was minor damage which was easily repaired, however, while anyone is in the campground using the facilities they should be aware of taking proper care of them so the next group can enjoy them. Everyone should be alert and report vandalism or damage so appropriate action can be taken for repairs. New and better facilities have been provided at most of the campgrounds. As the campgrounds become equipped with better facilities it becomes more important for everyone to protect this investment. The facilities are built for people to use but only through people can the Forest Ranger keep the sites maintained at the high quality standard which everyone enjoys. in the past year the street on his block has been dug into eight or ten times to make repairs to old pipes that have rptted out. (Councilmen Phil E. Jones and Phillip Lundell said replacement of water lines has been considered, but this cost was not counted in the project). Mr. Dastrup also stated that new sidewalks are needed, but these are not a part of the construction plan. The need for new sidewalks was recognized by the engineers and architects engaged on the project, but this was deleted to cut costs at the present time and could be installed later, countered Roy Broadbent, chairman of the improvement project, which is promoted by Payson Chamber of Commerce. Costs are estimated at from $40 to $45 per linial foot. Opinions of several others were expressed. Stanley Wilson said he belives that Payson merchants must meet the price 6f other merchants in the county and have the goods to sell, and that this is more important than the design of the streets or the color of paint used on the buildings. Several stated that they are not in a position to pay the costs of assessments for the project. The project can be defeated with a rd majority vote against it, based on property front footage. A number of property owners residing outside of Pay-so- n were not heard from, but it is understood that all were notified of the deadline for filing a protest otherwise they would be considered in favor of the project. Mayor Riley gave each side, those protesting the project and the sponsoring unit opportunity to be heard, afterwhich he was advised by Mr. McMuUin that the decision would now be that of the city council, which will compute the amount of footage owned by the people opposing the project as compaTed to the amount of footage owned by those favoring the project. Approximately $6,000 has already been used to engage engineers and architects in plans and drawings which have been studied and accepted by the Chamber of Commerce and Payson City CounciL The plan caUs for landscaped areas jutting into the street, 90 degree parking (head-o- n into curbing) with clusters of parking stalls alternating on each side of the street. About 50 of the present parking spaces wiU be used for landscaped et lots will areas and parking in be encouraged. Gutters will be covered for the most part, but the water will be allowed to bubble forth in about eight places, where a waterwheel and other devices wiU be built in artistic design. If the city council approves the project an imporvement district wiU be established and bonds will be sold which are paid annuaUy over a ten year period by assessments made by property owners in the district. Some of the property owners signed a petition asking the city to make preliminary plans and bring to a vote the question of whether or not to make these imorovements. Payson, Utah Volume LXXXIH - L main street by Ruth Rothe The majority of Payson people have never been to the Physical Therapy Department on the second floor of the Payson City Hospital Those who have received treatment or have taken loved ones there to use the facilities know what a wonderful place it is. There may be some folks who on occasion have called the center such names as the torture chamber or even worse but as treatments progress most of them admit that it is a very worthwhile place if you need their services. t the present time they care for an average of fifteen to twenty patients per day. Glen Brown is the therapist, his assistant is Larry Huff and a part time employee is Diane Beckstrom. After seeing them on the job I have noted characteristics which I feel are vital in such an undertaking as theirs, perserverance, tolerance, determination, tenderness and kindness and a sense of humor. I feel that they in turn must and do transfer these feelings on to the patient. Sometimes it is hard to accept what life passes out to you and in cases where you must learn to walk or to use your limbs again in other ways and are experiencing pain, it is difficult to do what you must do and the personnel at the therapy department have received their training especially to help you. It is a place where patients learn patience and where such ordinary things as walking, or 84651 Thursday, October 22, 1970 Number 43 two-thi- Payson Lions football team, I to r:, first row: Craig Haskell, Tom Horn, Kevin Barnett, Joe Quigley, Mark Ethington, Terry Carter, Gary Cannon, Kay Riley, Gary Montague.

HJoEas off-stre- two-thir- ds by Gary Warren One of the oldest and bitterest rivalries in high school footbaU was renewed Thursday afternoon in Payson as the Lions took on the Spanish Fork Dons in a must game for both teams if either was to have a chance to win first place in Region 4. The Lions who won the Class A. State Championship title last year had only one blemish on their record last season and loss to Spanish Fork. that was a 16-n The Lions were out to and ruin the Spanish Forkers chances for a region crown. But Payson was not to get their revenge as Spanish F ork won for the second straight year in a squeeker 10-- 8. Scott Wilson of the Lions kicked the baU for Payson to open the game and it sailed to Dave Clark of the Dons who returned it to the Spanish Fork 36 where the Dons started their first set of offensive plays. The Dons using two quarterbacks and quite effectively started Calvin Houghton, a senior, who gave to halfback Curt Creer on the first play for a gain of 3 and followed with a handoff to junior halfback Craig BeardaU who carried for a first down to the Don 46 and the Dons were off to a good start.

On third down the Dons put in their other quarterback Ray Newitt and he threw long to receiver Dave Clark but it was broken up by Brad Olson and Gary Weight of the Lions. On fourth down Dave Boyackgot off a good punt and Mark Etherington was dropped back on the Payson 13 after Fallout shelter plans mailed FaUout Shelter Plans wiU be mailed to homes and offices of eleven Utah Counties beginning Oct. 20 according to the State Office of Civil Defense and Emergency Preparedness. The plans, developed by local, city and county Civil Defense authorities in cooperation with the Department of Defense, wiU be mailed in Salt Lake, Weber Davis, Utah, Morgan, Uintah, Carbon, Wasatch, Rich and Sanpete Counties. Duchesne, Each county plan contains information about what to do and where to go in case of a nuclear emergency, along with a complete list of approved public fallout shelters in the area, and directions on how to reach them. There is also instructions and information explaining how to build a shelter in a home should a person be unable to reach a public shelter. Since many residents live outside of downtown city areas these instructions are of particular significance. The plan also contains general information regarding nuclear radiation and faUout While it is hoped that residents will never have to use this information, it should be kept in a safe, convenient place. Studies indicate that in case of a nuclear attack by an enemy, over 100 million lives would be saved by proper fallout shelter. Many people would survive the initial blast but would then be exposed to lethal radiation faUout unless proper shelter was provided. With this in mind, the Department of Defense conducted surveys to determine where the best possible shelter would be. After this information was obtained, it was placed in the hands of the State and local county Civil Defense officers. The Community Shelter Plan was then prepared from this information. One of the goals of the plan is to teU every citizen where the best possible available shelter is located. Although most of the public shelter is to be found in heavily constructed buildings downtown the basement of a home can offer substantial protection to its residents, more so than was realized even a few years ago. Each of the folders has instructions on how to use the basement, crawl space, or waUs of a home for shelter for those people who do not have community shelter available to them. Also included is a complete list of supplies that would be needed during a nuclear emergency. Delivery of the folders will be by mail and is expected to be completed by November 20. Residents of the eleven counties mentioned who do not receive a plan should contact their local County Civil Defense Office. Community catching the punt. Joel Crouch, a fine 150 pound senior, started at quarterback and using running by Mike Daley and Gary Weight got the ball out to the Payson 24 for a first down. But after a 2 yard gain by Daley and 7 yards by Etherington the Lions were stalled on third down for no gain and Crouch had to punt for the Lions. Crouchs kick went to Craig Beardall who was cut down by Gary Brimhall at the 25 of Spanish Fork and a clipping penalty on the Dons moved the ball to the Don 13. Although quarterback Ray Newitt moved the ball for a first down on the 23, Cal Houghton threw an interception to Brad Olson on the 40 of the Dons and the Lions were threatening with 2:32 left in the first quarter. But the Lions were not able to move the baU as the Spanish Fork defense got sticky and Crouch punted into the end zone as the first quarter ended with no score. The Dons had no success on their next of plays as was typical for both teams in the first half and Boyack again punted and it roUed into deep Payson territory and the baU continued to change hands, back and forth. The Dons did penetrate deep into Lion territory but a, fumble wiped that out and as the half ended the score stood Payson 0 and Spanish series Fork 0. The third quarter started with an odd occurrence as the Lions were penalized 15 yards on the second half kickoff for not being back on the field in time. The Dons then kicked from the Payson 45 and put it in the Payson end zone and the Lions started on the 20 yard line. The Lions looked as though they might move down for a quick score as running by Mike Daley and Gary Weight moved the ball for a couple of quick first downs and into Spanish Fork territory at the 48 before the Lion attack staUed and Crouch had to punt to Craig BeardaU of the Dons who was tackled on the Spanish Fork 23. BaU carrying by Curt Creer and John Bingham moved the baU to the Don 35 for a first down and the Dons continued to drive on up the field on runs by Creer, Bingham and BeardaU into Payson territory in the third quarter at the 48. The Spaniards next ran Bingham who exploded up the middle to the Lion 30. With everything seeming to go right for the Dons it aU came to a sudden end when Houghton threw an interception to Mark Etherington at the 7 of the Lions. Mike Daley, then broke through the Une for 8 yards to the 15 as the third quarter ended. As the fourth quarter began the walls came tubling down on the Lions as Mark Etherington took a handoff around left end but was hit by Spanish Forks Gary Downey who forced a fumble and the ball was picked up by Dave Boyack who hurried into the end zone for the first score of the baU game and the extra point kick by Max Plctchacher was good and Spanish Fork took a 0 lead. The kickoff by Spanish Fork sailed to Payson s Dick Armstrong who blasted back to the Payson 47 and the Lions looked like they were going to comeback, with 11:37 left in the football game. But on the first down Crouch attempted a pass which was batted down and on second down Crouch was rushed hard and threw an interception to John Bingham who returned the baU aU the way back to the Payson 10. The Lion defense got tough at this point and pushed the Dons back but the Spanish Fork team was not to be denied and they tried a field goal by Max which was good and the Lions found themselves down 10-- 0 with 9:21 left in the game. The Lions having to play catch up football with time running out finaUy got a score on the next set of plays when the kickoff by Dave Clark of the Dons was fumbled by Dick Armstrong but picked up by Brad Olsen who turned on the steam around the left corner and wasnt stopped till he hit the Spanish Fork 40, and the Lion offense took over. After a run by Chad Smith down to the 34 Joel Crouch hit halfback Gary Weight with a pass and Weight went clear to the Don 12 before being dropped and it was first down for the Lions. A run by Dick Armstrong moved the ball to the 8 and then Mark Ehterington carried to the 6 where it was third down. The Lions got a first down on the 3 and a couple plays later Crouch took the ball in on a quarterback sneak. The Lions attempted a two point on Page 3 7-- Plet-chac- conver-Continu- ed Beautification committee seehs"A plan for Payson" Somewhere within the boundaries of this city, there is a citizen with a unique plan for the future development of Payson. Are you that citizen and do you want to have a voice in the future of this community? It is a well known fact that when the city of Payson was first laid out, some mistakes were made. It was not possible in those Horse and Buggy Days to visuaUze how these mistakes would affect the future growth of the city. Today the citizens of Payson face much the same decision. It is a weU known fact that steps must be taken to preserve the heritage and traditions of this community, while stiU planning for its improvement and future growth. These are important decisions, as they may well determine the fate of a city. Wisely directed, Payson can become one of the most beautiful cities in Utah. Wrong decision and planning without foresight can have fust the opposite affect. Payson Beautification Committee is asking for A Plan for Payson." Citizens are asked to write their ideas in letter form to the Payson Beautification Verdene Page at 70 West Committee, 400 South. Each week one or two letters will be published in this newspaper and perhaps from the consenus of all these ideas will evolve groundwork upon which to build the future of a city. |
