Show Cyan Magenta Yellow Black A8 Sanpete Messenger-Gunnison Valley Edition CENTERFIELD COURIER BY ELVA JENSEN 528-3382 CENTERFIELD—Sunday, March 20, was Stake Conference in the Gunnison Utah Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The proceedings of the conference were broadcast in the Centerfield and the Fayette Chapels to accommodate all that wanted to hear and see the conference. The Centerfield chapel hosted 245 members, and 75 people attended the Fayette chapel. There was also a large crowd at the stake center. The talks and music were very inspirational. Shara and Brandon Olsen were on Spring Break from CSU last week and were here for the viewing and memorial services for Taruko, who has lived at the Kirk and Janet Anderson home for several years as an exchange student. Many beautiful tributes were given to this sweet girl in her premature death. Shara and Taruko were best of friends all the years she has been in America. Funeral services were held March 31 for Robert Beck, who was born and raised in Centerfield. He taught at Gunnison Valley High School for many years and lived in Gunnison. He was married to Margery Nielson. She preceded him in death in 1995. Are you bothered with lots of cats? Nora Lee Koeven had a favorite dog, Sparky that went walking with her every day, but got a little lame and had to be put to sleep. When Sparky was gone and couldn’t chase the cats, the cats moved in. First there was a mother cat that came. Then two, three and four were there. They all like catching and eating birds in her yard, so she decided they had to go. She called the Centerfield animal control officer, Jerry Johnson (435528-3135). He was able to trap two of the cats and took them to the Milk Barn to help control the mice. He plans to get the others as soon as possible for the same purpose. On March 17, a baby girl was born to Justin and Fawn Olsen Parker. The grandparents are Dixie and Richard Smith of Centerfield, and Joe and Jolene Parker of Salina. Grandpa Joe came to see the baby and said, “Thanks for the “Green Baby.” Joe is Irish and the baby was born on St. Patrick’s Day—a birthday they will always be able to remember. Great Grandmother is Nora Lee Koeven. If you would like to have something in the paper, please call Elva Jensen 528-3382.

The students will perform the play March 31 and April 1 at Gunnison High School. The Gunnison schools’ Spring Break started Wednesday afternoon, March 23, and will end Tuesday March 29. Many families have braved the weather to go camping. Others have traveled or have family members visiting from out of town. The Utah State Future Farmers of America 2004-2005 convention was March 25-26 at Utah State University in Logan. Whit Sorenson finished the year as State FFA Sentinel with his retiring address Friday, March 25. Whit’s Mother, Sheri attended the conventions. Ben Boore, Stephanie Boore and Mitchell Heath also attended the conventions. Stephanie won the Proficiency Award in Vegetable Production. Stephanie was also named as the State Star in Placement Awards. Her parents, Danny and Nancy, drove to Logan to see Stephanie receive these awards. Stephanie also earned her State Farmer Degree. Jessie Mellor of Fayette was named Proficiency Award winner in Agricultural Mechanics Design and Fabrication Proficiency. All these students are members of the Gunnison Valley High School FFA. Logan Cowley was home from Nevada visiting his Grandparents. Logan and Brett Heath drove to Moab, Utah to attend the Jeep Slick Rocks Days this past weekend and said it rained most of the day on Friday and there was six inches of snow on Saturday. Arena (Continued from A1) ings is that for any one city to try and build what this has turned into is more of an undertaking than a city would want to take on,” Stallings said. Stallings says that since such a facility would serve the entire county, it ought to be neutrally and centrally located. With this in mind, organizers began eyeing property owned by the county between Ephraim and Mt. Pleasant (the old county landfill property) as a possible site. “We have not discussed it (the landfill site) in commission meeting,” Anderson replied, “but it’s on the table. … We’re not telling you ‘no’ to using the landfill property. … I don’t know that we have any other plans for it.” From there, it was only a short step to discussing the possibility that the facility could become new fairgrounds for the county. Anderson admitted the current fairgrounds needed to be redone, and that using the landfill property for new fairgrounds was a possibility to be considered. He later clarified, however, that even if the county did allow the land to be used for an events center, that wouldn’t necessarily mean that new fairgrounds would be part of the package. He identified two issues that Recipes Wednesday, March 30, 2005 both the current fairgrounds and the proposed events center must face: acreage and infrastructure. Both facilities would require a good deal of land. Stallings said at the meeting that a minimum would be 40 acres. The county’s old landfill site includes 70 acres that could be used and that are already bought and paid for. On the other hand, the old landfill site may present infrastructural challenges. For instance, the area has no sewer lines, meaning the facility would have to use a septic tank system. However, one of the reasons the landfill was required to relocate several years ago was because of environmental regulations regarding the water table, which is fairly high in that particular area, Anderson says. A septic-tank waste system might not meet those regulations either. Power could be another concern. Currently, two-phase power runs to the site, but research must be done to determine whether three-phase power would be required for a facility of the proposed magnitude. A three-phase power requirement might be an obstacle; Utah Power and Light recently denied a three-phase power station near Fayette, saying it didn’t have the money to build it. Tell a friend!
