writer RICHMOND — Richmond will borrow money to repave State Street from 200 North south to the city limits hut the city won’t have to issue bonds to do ft The City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to accept a $230000 municipal line of credit from Zions Bank which Richmond plans to pay back over five to 10 yean with money the city gets from the state for road work State Street is the main north-sout- h road through town and is also the one tost generates die most complaints from residents when it's not in good shape Mayor Kip Panter said Crews will begin laying asphalt within about two weeks City Councilman Terry Spackman said If all goes as planned the work will be finished long before wilder The council voted to award the bid for the work which includes a short section near 200 South and 200 West to Jack B Parson Cos The cost of materials was estimated at $90000 The city gets about $83000 from the state each year to work on the city’s streets Panter said Meanwhile crews have busied them- selves correcting drainage problems along city streets by cutting down roadsides to allow water to run off die streets rather than pooling on them That’s what has caused Richmond roads to deteriorate and crumble in places Spackman said Now that the cutting is complete the need for more e fixes — like installing drains in some places — will be analyzed But not everyone was happy with what the road cuts did to the city rights of way in front of their homes "I don’t want to play Evcl Knievel to get out of my driveway" one resident said "I don’t want to jump the Grand Canyon I just want to get out on the labor-intensiv- case-by-ca- se road" Now that the cuts have been made city crews will make the rounds with gravel to fill in driveway entrances and grass seed for to stabilize the roadsides Spackman said “We'll be trying to get yards and driveways back to normal" lie said Another resident worried about possible damage to landscaping in her yard suggested the city survey property before allowing the road project go further City Council members said they'd do that But council members said they were worried State Street might become a speed strip once the road is improved After briefly entertaining the idea of installing speed bumps they settled on stepping up radar patrols once the new road opens Judge dismisses suit claiming Consumer prices increase slightly abuse of repressed memory SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a suit by a man who claimed he repressed for several years the memory of having been sexually abused inschooL The suit was dismissed after the Utah Supreme Court held that toe man had waited too long to make his claim The Utah court's opinion had been sought by UJS District Judge Tens Campbell Randy Btnkholz now 30 sued former Churchill Junior High School teacher Jack Joyce and Granite School District in 1996 after purportedly remembering that Joyce sexually molested him in fee 1980s The high court declared that Butkholz’s suit which sought $20 million should be time-barrby a four-yea- r filing deadline The statute clock starts ticking when n would-b- e plaintiff first ed becomes aware of the facts that would form the basis of a claim The clock does not stop while that awareness is repressed the court said in its unanimous opinion Joyce 68 who has since moved to Arizona was charged twice in fee late 1980s with misdemeanors for lewd behavior at school in dents that did not involve inci- Buik-hol- z The clock on filing chums typi cally does not start for minon until they reach age 18 Btnkholz turned 18 in April 1986 He said he had no trouble remembering the abuse until 19 months later when he went on a Mormon church mission and repressed the memories Just before leaving on the mis- sion he told his church bishop and a school official about the alleged abuse he contended Burkholz claimed he then repressed fee memories while serving in Portugal for two years and later while studying for an English degree at the University of Utah In 1994 Burkholz alleged the memories began to resurface and a friend advised him to consult a therapist He then sued Joyce and the school district No evidence has been presented feat showed school oflkiids knew of Joyce’s alleged misconduct when Burkholz still was a student according to coot records SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Consumer prices pushed by increases in
