MaryAnn Perkins, the resident who brought the tape to the council last Tuesday, said she has watched children as young as 5 climb through holes in fences at and near her home on Deer Run Drive to play along the Davis & Weber Counties Canal. Another resident, Jean Jenkins said, There are kids running up and down the canal all the time. All the kids on my street know about the holes. Perkins said she fears one of these neighborhood children might drown if something is not done. Councilman Reid Stark said Perkins and her neighbors have reason for concern. He said homeowners could be held liable for a drowning if it could be proven that the person entered the canal through an opening at their property. I realize its our responsibility to maintain the fences but I dont believe everyone realizes it, Perkins said. Id like to see a simple flier go out to remind residents. Councilman Bill Petty asked Perkins for a list of those residents whose fences are in ill repair. He plans to turn the list over to the city building inspector. Petty encouraged Perkins and her neighbors to help in the repairs where possible. But others in attendance said mere repairs wont stop children from playing near the canal. Peggy Brown said area adults also must set an example. You see adults walking and jogging along the canal all the time, Brown said. Its kind of hard to that they cant go tell a there under any circumstances. Perkins said she hopes parents of the youths who frequent the canal will get involved. She said she is frustrated by conversations with young people she has warned to stay away from the area. Perkins said she fears children will continue to create more holes See FENCES on page 2 y POOR ty v. ,' !t Counts ( ear u a -- V V , - t If - t V- - fcr '1 5 i s of 9 , v.

They were also called to a lot of haystack fires and also sagebrush fires on the hillsides over the years. Fellow firefighter Evan Adams said that during one mountain fire a tractor came by to take them to the fire line, but Gray said hed just walk. He could walk you to death, said Adams, because he was a postman. Gray also worked for the post office for 23 years, retiring in 1976. Gray has seen the department change from one small fire engine housed in back of the old Farmers Union building to four engines e and an aerial truck, with 15 and, 27 ll firefighters.
