Housing The proposal for subdivision west of Milford, a which. garnered a cold shoulder from Beaver County Planning and Zoning last month, received a much warmer welcome from the Milford City Council. Kendrick Rogers and Jim Raines represented Dove Homes in a presentation that opened the door fora cooperative dialog with the city. David Rogers, First Security Bank Mortgage Officer, explained to the Council that a “turn key” project such as this is easier to finance. The proposed, homes will have front landscaping, tile entry, built-in microwave, and garage door openers. Rogers explained availability of financing through various loan programs. “Having this kind of a development sets the standards to help the community get a good product,” he added. to convince commissioners to continue funding the Bookmobile.) Val —— Smith, Belknap Elementary Building Administrator, added that recreation reading is going by the wayside. With the $3,000 or so budgeted divided by 400 students, there is very little left to buy stimulating books after curriculum driven needs have been met. “We love the Bookmobile service.

The school board agreed to allow us the use of a school bus, with the stipulation that we would pay the bus driver and would be well chaperoned. There were eighteen gradueies, 11 girls and 7 boys. The chaperones were the bus driver Clark Kesler, and his wife, Principal Paul Beecher and his wife and Jonathan Hughes and his wife. We took tents and all of the equipment necessary for camping. Each evening we set up the tents, one for the boys, one for the girls and one for the chaperones. After the dinner we stood around the campfire, sang songs and told stories. The first night we stayed at Zions Natal Park then went on to the Hoover Dam. It was under construction and we were taken down the elevators to the upstream side of the Dam. That was a very large area and filled with machinery. It is now under hundreds of feet of water. Next we stayed at Grand Canyon and then on to Bryce Canyon. ~ No doubt that the adults were proud of their charges. Perfect little lambs. but everything changed, that night. After the song fest we retired to our tents. Our bed was filled with sticky pine cones. While cleaning up this mess, we were discussing how to retaliate. Finally it was decided that one boy would jump in their bed. But who? Not me and I refused to go until someone called me Chicken! Now we had been very quiet and I don’t know whyI expected the same from them. Of all the screeches and screams! I was scared and couldn’t have been there more than five seconds. It woke up the camp and Mr. Hughes told me that never in my life would I live that down. If he was alive now I could tell him that of all lifes problems, that was | the least. We settled down for the night, we thought. One boy sneaked out of the tent and threw a bucket of water on the girls. What a mess! While they were wringing out the bedding, we built a large fire but it was 3 a.m. all before they could go back to bed. From Bryce we went to Cedar Breaks and on to the High School at Milford. There we said our final goodbye’s as the Class of ‘34. None of us made much of a ripple in the world but as a class we established the first JuniorSenior formal banquet and the first extended Senior Sluff. Of the eighteen graduates, eleven are deceased, three are unknown, but four still remain here at Milford. Margaret Jones- Grimshaw, Irene McCulley-Posey, Wallace Fotheringham and myself. * .

With the area annexed into Milford City, the developers efforts to provide a fresh water storage system may be combined with those of the city to enhance water pressure in existing homes. Model homes in the first phase will get the project underway, after which the developer could hook into the city sewer. County Population Current population for Beaver County is estimated ai 5,350. Department of Community and Economic Development used school enrollment, LDS Church records and IRS records to compile the estimate. ‘Milford Recorder Resigns Glenn Hill has announced that he will be leaving the Milford City Office to take a position with 5 County Association of Governments. His resignation is effective at the end of the month. County Improvement District County discussed “I can’t play the piano because the library was on the way to my teacher's house. I had a mother who took me to the library. Not all kids have that advantage. If the Bookmobile is parked at the school, kids take advantage of it. Otherwise, a good portion of those kids will watch TV or play instead of reading.” (Sorry, I didn’t get the lady’s name....but her statement was enough protest. The People’s Choice scriptures,” she said. was NO. 44 Commissioners $1,174,000 in road improvements included in the CID proposal as prepared by Warren Peterson, Circle 4 Farms attorney. Under the terms of agreement, Beaver County would issue bonds to cover the cost. Circle 4 Farms would Minersville Reservoir The Division of State Parks held a public hearing Monday afternoon regarding fencing of Minersville State Park. The project is expected to be completed in early spring. Intent is to control access and to make it a manageable park facility. Cost per visitor, which at one time reached as high as $18.00 is expected to decrease to approximately $3.00. The park will be open from March through November. It will not, however. be left unattended during the winter months. A family will be living on site in the trailer home. This was followed by an additional hearing on road closures near the Reservoir. There was no public attendance or comment recorded at either hearing. Township Commissioners _ reviewed letters from Beaver City, Minersville and Milford, requesting that action be delayed on the proposed Milford Valley Township. The Township petition, which was certified in early October, effects 680 sections (over 400,000 acres) of land.....the major portion of the western half of the county. Township proponents declined Fun was had by all who attended Milford Valley Healthcare Service employees annual Halloween party. Employees wore their costumes throughout the day and several employees were given awards for their costumes.

Those receiving recognition for previous employee of the month awards were Tracy Bealer, Sheila Barton, Robin Mott, Jetta Davie, both Minnerville and Milford EMT organizations, and Jackque Dotson.
