Deseret News gives $10,000 in journalism scholarships to Snow By John Hales Staff writer EPHRAIM—The Deseret Morning News, through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Foundation, has given $10,000 to Snow College for journalism scholarships. The money will be used to grant scholarships to students who write for the Snowdrift, the college’s student newspaper. Faculty and staff in the department of communications hope the gift will provide financial assistance to students currently on Snowdrift staff and to freshmen and sophomores who will be writing for the paper dur- ing the 2005-06 academic year. Rick Wheeler, vice president of college relations at Snow, said, “This is momentum we must capitalize on. The gift will help us retain our finest journalism students and recruit some of the best in and outside of Utah.” Wheeler added, “We hope to find additional donors to ensure that there are several scholarships given to journalism students every year at Snow College.” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Foundation gives away thousands of dollars every month to improve human welfare and to encourage programs and projects that enrich quality of life. Manti City considers Hoop shoot winners possibility of flooding compete in Monroe By Judy Chantry Staff writer MANTI—The city council gives no guarantees that Manti would not experience flooding if spring runoff were abnormally high this year. At the Jan. 19 council meeting, Councilwoman Diane Keeler raised the concern about the preparedness of Manti City if flooding were to occur, considering the current devastation in the southern part of the state. “We have a lot of snow in the mountains around us and we appreciate the moisture,” Keeler said. “But it is a concern that if we suddenly have a warm spell and a lot of spring runoff, we may face the same problems that St. George is dealing with.” City Administrator Bill Mickleson said, “Water distribution is pretty good right now, but we don’t know what to anticipate.” Mickleson said the flood channel and the bridges along it would adequately handle normal runoff. “However,” he said, “if we get an abnormal year like we did in 1983, there is no guarantee.” In other council business, Keeler gave an accounting of the New Year’s Eve party, explaining that including the amount budgeted by the city and the church, the event had an excess of funds, which would be turned over to the swimming pool fund. Keeler said the chairpersons for next year’s party are Fred and Joan Johnson. “Enthusiasm remains high and Fred and Joan will do an excellent job preparing for the next New Year’s Eve celebration. We have collected a lot of items that we can use again, which will help keep future costs down,” Keeler said. Mayor Kim Anderson suggested sending a thank-you note to the school district for use of the facility. “This is a great shindig for the community, and I hope that the support will continue to increase over the years,” said Anderson. “We appreciate all that Sally and Larry Roper did to make this years event a success.” The swimming pool committee has named the firm of Naylor, Wentworth and Lund as its choice to complete the design for the proposed aquatic center. The committee needs $25,000 to proceed. A motion was made and passed to approve a transfer of CATV service from Precis to Central Utah Telephone Co. This is a name change only and will not affect the service provided. Councilman Dean Hatch reported that the Main Street Project meeting went well. Forms were available at the meeting for residents to fill out for input on the project. Hatch would like to review those forms to see the responses Manti citizens have about the proposed layout. Mayor Anderson stressed the need to accommodate the Main Street businesses and maintain a positive attitude about the overall concept. Councilman Alan Justesen has received some complaints about truckers traveling through town and the use of “Jake brakes.” Citizens expressed concern that the city’s nuisance ordinance does not cover noise. “Some of our surrounding communities have signs posted about a noise ordinance being enforced,” Justesen said. The council discussed that when a noise ordinance is passed UDOT will post signs. The noise ordinance will be addressed during the review of the zoning ordinances, which is underway. Zoning ordinances were reviewed and discussed during the work meeting prior to the regular city council meeting. Members of the zoning commission were present to assist the council in clarifying the ordinances that have been proposed thus far. Mayor Anderson said the ordinances should be clearly written in language easily understood. “This affects the residents of Manti and the ordinances will be available for review. Consequently, we need to go to the public with some knowledge and understanding of what the ordinances mean,” Anderson said. Andrew Jackson, who developed the general plan and zoning ordinances, will be requested to attend a council meeting to answer questions. The 2005 budget was opened for approval of some adjustments. Transfers were necessary on some items, and the council approved those transfers. Mickleson explained the adjustments in detail and the necessity of proposed transfers. He said he is available to answer questions on the budget. Councilman Larry Lund and Keeler raised a concern about the county sheriff’s response time to an accident on Main Street during the past week. A police officer from Gunnison happened to be driving by, and he gave immediate assistance. But Keeler said the sheriff’s department, which is under contract to provide police services, did not respond with assistance for 12 minutes.
