Show Dont Mind Its Risky Business - But Stevens Brothers v w by Brace Jennlnge Many men aspire to high places to wealth, power and social position. The aspiration of the Stevens Brothers for high places takes a different direction. They paint them. Their most recent job took them to the uppermost spire of the Manti Temple 100 feet above the main body of the building. They applied two coats of aluminum paint to the towers and repainted the windows. The contract took two weeks to complete. It involved dangling in slings high above the ground, walking the parapets while occasionally grasping a rope, looking over the town from the platform that the Angel Moroni stands on during the pageant. Soon the Stevens Brothers, a do this kind , of work erect he explains. scaffolding, "This takes time, often much more time than the actual painting. We, instead, use the same techniques used in mountain climbing. We have special climbing equipment rigging, slings. And also use a metal cage that climbs up and down a wire. With the cage and the slings we can get where we need to go." We spend a lot of our working hours dangling in air, he adds, but it isnt nearly as dangerous as might appear. For one thing, the cage is equipped with four safety brakes. And we wear safety harnesses. Of course, dangling in air may not be all that pleasant, particularly if the wind starts blowing. That happened one afternoon when they were working on the Manti Temple. I got swinging like a pen- partnership that includes dulum, Grant says, so we Grant, Richard, Lloyd and decided to come down.

Of course, we do other Grant says, painting, houses, schools, business places, but were also bidding for the high jobs. The bidding isnt as competitive and the rewards are better. So were specializing now in doing high work and roof work. According to Lloyd, Stevens Brothers are successful in getting contracts for the high work because theyre able to underbid the competition. , Most of the contractors who HAVE A Is it scary work applying brush paint with a four-inc- h while standing on a narrow ledge 200 feet above the ground or hanging in a sling? It is if you look down," Charles says, so you concentrate on your work. You become accustomed to heights, but you remember to be careful. Thats a part of the concentration. The Stevens boys began painting with their father, Leon, during the summer vacations. They often worked in school buildings. Today, Richard, who is in state employment as a plant biologist, does the bookkeeping for the partnership.

Greener In for instance, employees of the Jacksonville (Florida) Housing and Urban Development Department distributed notices in the Westside area of the city announcing a safety and health inspection of private homes whether the residents liked it or not. After the inspection, owners or residents would be told what violations had been detected and what remedial action was necessary. The notice informed the occupants that they could deny entry to the inspectors, but warned that if such entry is denied, a court order may be obtained authorizing the entry.

The Jacksonville City Council approved it four years ago and the local HUD officials have been conducting inspections ever since. Amazingly, according to a city spokesman, the very same notice that caused the current furore has been used for years. City officials are wondering why such a fuss has developed so suddenly. mid-Jul- Cookwero Set 3rd reminiscent of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) drive against businessmen, it is not itself a Jacksonville Fights Back 2nd - Manti Fighting Big Brother Appealing To The Fourth Amendment We suggest that the answer to that question lies in the angry response to the HUD notification. In it can be found a reference to the Fourth Amendment guarantee against unreasonable searches, and to the fact that such a right can properly be suspended only for criminal behavior. These are exactly the arguments that recently prompted a federal judge to uphold a businessman's right to refuse entry to OSHA officials who seek to conduct a fishing expedition. Wide publication of the ramifications of that decision has slowed down OSHA's "storm troopers," and quite possibly has led to the current use of the same argument in Jacksonville.

Or perhaps getting pushed around by ever more demanding government is the reason. It might even be that some Americans are beginning to realize that unless they constantly defend their rights, they will lose them as have so many millions before them. . There are undoubtedly a number of reasons for the growing phenomenon, but Americans are rousing from their complacency and telling and his swarms of Little BrothBig Brother to cease trampling on their fundamental ers rights.
