UT Tuesday, November 7, 1995 Vol.103 Number 78 i T 1 County miffed at Farmington extortion FARMINGTON Farmington s a mild form of extortion, said Gayle Stevenson, County Commissioner at a recent Farmington City Council meeting. The address to the Council came after Stevenson took exception to request is what he believed as Farmingtons tying improvements to the Farmington trail system to the application approval on the maintenance shop building proposal at the county criminal justice complex. i The offending statement which appeared in a letter to Jess T.

The county jail has been finished for seven years. Improvements to the trail system have not been made as yet. All we requested was that the bush to be cleared, we never asked for asphalt right now and just improvements needed.

We do need to foster relations with the county, said Mayor Gregory S Bell to other council members after Stevenson finished his written statement and walked out without giving city officials an opportunity to respond. How can he expect us to respond when he walks out. We are trying to be good neighbors, too, to address chamber councilman. Reflecting on Stevensons list of things the county has paid for in Chamber of Commerce on said David Connors, city and around Farmington, Councilwoman Tammy Boyce said, I assume other communities in Davis County get benefits from the county also. When their request came to the planning commission, we treated them as we would any other applicant, said Petersen. We had to request them to come and speak with us. My objective is hopefully to try and increase your awareness as to why the county views our relationship as it does, said Stevenson. Its a matter of perception. We need to communicate, said Mayor Bell. MOUNTAIN MAJESTY The 1996 Utah Travel Council calendar is available for sale and features such spectacular shots as the cover photo of a snowcapped mountain by Sandy's Jerry Sintz. He said the mountain reminded him of how an artist mixes colors for his prize creation. Spectacular Utah caught on film Kathryn Hancock Contributing Writer If a picture tells a thousands words, the Utah Travel Councils 1996 Utah Centennial calendar, available at Deseret Book, Sam Weller and other stores throughout the valley, tells a tale to be swept away by the entire year, and beyond. On the cover is a breathtaking view of a snowcapped mountain ridge under the emerging morning sun, one of a total of eight photographs by Jerry Sintz of Sandy. Sintz speaks wistfully of the photo, and one is reminded of an artist explaining just how he mixed the colors for his prize creation. It was taken in American Fork Canyon, he said, describing the twisting road and how, after a few turns, it was just there. It was after a storm had cleared off, and there was a bit of sunlight breaking through, which gave some light to the trees. Sintz pulled off the road, sft up his cumbersome 4x5 field camera, and took the spectacular shot. His photos run from the cover, to smaller representations of Utah State Capitol buildings on the back pages. He captured the city and county building in downtown Salt Lake in the last amber light of day, accentuating the buildings quiet I dont know how many grandeur. times Ive taken pictures of that building in various light, he said. Ive been able to choose it when its at its best, so to speak. The photo will also serve as the cover shot for a program to be used in presenting a stamp commemorating Utahs statehood centennial at a July 4, 1996 celebration. My better pictures, he said, come about in two ways. One is when you plan for it, you come back at a certain time of day, when the light will be right, or at a certain time of year when its going to be the best. You sort of stalk it until the right time comes. The other way is you sort of come up on things, and youre able to capture them before they vanish. Sintz caught the stoic beauty of Saltair on a day on which he was initially disappointed by cloudy conditions on the eastern shores of the lake. He patiently waited, and then, he said, a shaft of light broke through the clouds, and it turned out better than anything I could have planned. A wildlife biologist by profession, Sintz has blended his love for photography with his work for the Bureau of Land Management by creating several posters for them. While each of his three children are comfortable handling cameras, it is perhaps his wife who most supports him. Weve just grown up with his photography, she says fondly. She travels with her husband when she can, camping from the back of a Ford Explorer which enables him to be available at the first or last light of day for the images he seeks to capture. Its not work, Sintz says of the many hours spent seeking out locations, setting up equipment, and waiting for the right moment. Time is the biggest problem. I cant go back to these places enough. December features the jagged, snow covered peaks of Alta, near Cardiff Pass, photographed by Linden J. Waguespack, also of Sandy. Employed by a Geoscience firm in Research Park, he takes photos as a hobby. This was on a Sunday morning, he says of the photograph. It had just snowed. He drove up the canyon from his home on the Sandy bench, and caught the shot from the side of the road with a 4x5 graphic view camera.
