The design that is being considered would be unique, Barker explained. It would be an 18-hole golf course, plus 18 holes of "Cayman golf," which he described as "short golf, with a special ball." There is only one such course in existence, he said, and it is one built by Nicklaus on the Cayman Islands. The idea of the Washington course would be to "intermix regular golf with fast evening or luncheon games," Barker said. The golf course location would be in the vicinity of Green Spring, which flows into Mill Creek, north and east of the freeway interchange. Plan changed The Redlands Co.

bought most of the property it owns around the interchange back in 1964, Barker explained. He said the group's original master plan to develop mainly traveler services in the area has been drastically changed as the partners have watched Washington "mature and become more viable as a city." But he claims the investors have been "fiddling with the golf course idea for 15 of the 20 years." "Our dreams are going to come true far beyond our original concepts," Barker said of the overall development of the Redlands property. Skirting specific revelations on other plans, he talked about "whether the area is mature enough for a 'regional but said he could not at this time be more specific on plans for developing the rest of the property. "I can't talk about the other plans," he said. "It would be premature." He said the Redlands Co.

is getting together with several of the neighboring landowners to do some joint community planning and possibly even some joint projects. Barker is a partner in a Salt Lake architectural firm, Barker and Clayton. His other partners in the Red-lands Co. are his architecture partner, Nelson Clayton; his brother, Dr. Allan Barker, a cardiologist; and Howard Barlow, from California.

Semi-invisible "We have been semi-invisible and semi-silent partners in Washington City for more than 20 years," Barker told the Chamber audience. "We've had great vibes about Washington and Washington County for some peared after leaving Logan 13 years earlier. Sticking out of the mud in the wreckage Evan found the corner of a $100 bill. "Not knowing how much money might be there (partially decomposed), I removed that section of earth and sent it to the FBI in Washington," Evan says. "A few weeks later they sent back a check for $2,500." Evan passed the check on to Cache County authorities.

Edmund William Pitt ST. GEORGE Edmund William Pitt, age 75, died Wednesday, Oct. 16, 1985, at the Dixie Medical Center. He was born Nov. 4, 1909, to Edmund and Lily Dunmore Pitt.

McAllister by Jeanette Rusk staff writer WASHINGTON CITY Move over Arnold Palmer. The Palmer-designed golf course being built in the Paradise Canyon development in northwest St. George may have to share the glory with a Jack Nicklaus-designed course which an investor says could be in Washington City's future. Bob Barker of Salt Lake City, one of four partners in the Redlands Co.

which owns about 230 acres surrounding the Washington 1-15 interchange, says his group is looking at the feasibility of turning 160 acres north and east of the interchange into a novel kind of Nicklaus-designed golf course. Barker was in Washington Thursday and spoke at the bi-monthly Chamber of Commerce luncheon on plans for the golf course as well as the development of the rest of the property around the interchange. Other entities "It's a project that we hope will come to fruition rather rapidly," Barker said, of the golf course plans. Three other entities besides the Red-lands plus the city of Washington, are participating, he said. He claims Nicklaus' company, "Nick-laus Golfource," is "very interested" in designing the course, and it's just a question of whether the four investment entities involved "can make it work."

I thought it was time to come out from under the clouds and tell you who we are, how we got here, what our interests are, and what we see on the horizon." The Barker group's interest in southern Utah freeway property started more than 20 years ago, Barker explained, when plans were made for the new interstate freeway network and the 1-15 connection to I-70 at Cove Fort.

"It was a major change in the pattern of the traveling public, opening southern Utah to potential tourist traffic and stops," he said. The Redlands Co. bought the property with the idea of developing service stations, motels and traveler services. The original master plan for the area included seven service stations, Barker said. "We envisioned it as an overnight watering stop." Desirable area However, Barker said, his group's objectives and concepts have changed over the years as the partners "have learned that the area is more desirable to more people than we understood." The company now is looking at "something much more stable, not overnight people here for seasons or living here," Barker said.

"The group has made a general commitment to achieve an excellence of our product," he said. "We will preserve the general values of the community." Barker went on to say he is a member of the LDS Church and shares the community's values. The parts of the Redlands property that have been sold to date are parcels for the Sundowner Inn and the two service stations at the interchange. The Redlands RV Park formed as a sub-corporation of the Redlands Co. was built 10 years ago on 18 acres of the property.

Barker said the investment group from the beginning anticipated a "long period of involvement in the property," but not quite as long as it is turning out to be. "We've had the privilege of working with six or seven different administrations in Washington," he said. "We've wondered at times whether the benefit from the property would accrue to us or to our children now it may be our grandchildren." Scary Nights Oct. 21 to Oct. 31 Weekdays P.M.

He was born May 9, 1909, in St. George to Martin Lenzi and Clara Ann Savage McAllister. He married Karma McGregor on June 15, 1937, in the St. George LDS Temple. He graduated from Dixie College and received his BS and MS degrees from Brigham Young University.

He earned his Ed.D. from the University of Utah. He attended Columbia University and University of Denver. He was a teacher in Kanab and New York City, and was an active Scout executive. He was a teacher and principal in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

He established the first LDS Seminary program in Idaho Falls. He was director of Recreation in Idaho Falls, and principal of Mt. View Elementary School in Ogden and' assistant principal at Ogden High School. He was honored by having the library and football field carry his name. He was principal of Ogden and Utah Principals Association president of Ogden Kiwanis Club.

He was But not everything in camp is modern. Though Evan and Ross have bought many guns over the years, today both hunt with rifles they bought when they first started. Evan carries a 30.40 Krag that he bought for $11 in 1935. Ross uses an Army Enfield 30. '06 that cost him $7.50 in 1937.

Although someone in camp has always returned with a deer, the hunt has been easier some years than others. One buck took 13 hits before it went down. Once they got a six point buck in the West Mountains that they had to pack out on their backs. They cut off its head and one packed the body while the other took the head. Every so often they would switch off.

Another time they were packing out a deer on a horse when the horse slipped and lost the deer over a ledge. But Ross remembers at least one time when they made it look easy. "One time by Central I parked the truck and I told my boys, who were just six and eight at the time, 'Come on. We'll go up on this side here and get us a he recalls. "A couple of hundred yards up the hill, up jumps a deer." Bad weather has been a source of adventure on several hunts.

One morning they woke to find the water they had cooked their dinner in the night before frozen solid. "On one of our roughest hunts, we left camp before daylight headed west, when it started to rain," Evan remembers. "When we got back at two the next morning the tarp had blown off, the beds were all full of water and the food was all soaked," he says. "We did get a deer, but we had no way to get it out, so we gave it away." Evan spent 20 years in the Washington County Sheriff's Department (16 as sheriff) and so had many a hunt interrupted by calls for help. Once he had to travel six miles in an open Jeep to retrieve the body of a hunter who had died of a heart attack.

When he got back to camp at 2:30 in the morning the temperature was ten below zero. Another year he had to help search for hunters in three different counties who were lost in fog. All were found safely. But the biggest discovery the hunters made in it half century of hunting had nothing do do with hunting deer at all.

A public hearing before the City Council on the lighting issue was held Sept. 26. At that time, persons on both sides of the issue made presentations to the council. However, council members did not express their own opinions. Councilman John Allen suggested at the end of the hearing that the council should take some time to "consider what has been said here tonight and the recommendations of the city attorney." Councilwoman Sharon Isom, who was chairing the meeting in the absence of Mayor Brooks, said she did not think a decision should be made that night because only three mem bers of the council were present, and the full council should be given a chance to participate in the decision.

GEORGE The first year Evan Whitehead of St. George and Ross Harper of Levan went deer hunting they only had one gun between them. Yet each came home with his deer. That was in 1934. Since then they've only missed two years of, hunting together when Evan was in the service.

That makes Saturday, when Evan and Ross join an estimated 160,000 hunters in the field for the annual Utah deer hunting opening, their 50th hunt together. During that time, not a year has passed that someone in camp hasn't gotten a deer, Evan says. "I don't think we've ever been skunked," he says. Although there were only Evan and Ross at first, over the years their wives and children, other family and friends have joined them until now 25 to 30 people make the annual trip into the hills. Evan and Ross each have three boys who have learned to camp and hunt with their dads.

Today they also have grandchildren who join in the hunt. Time has also brought other comforts into camp. Their first year, Ross and Evan slept on bed rolls and cooked over an open fire. "We had no sleeping bags or tents. It was all outside, Evan says.

"But now we got motor homes and cook on propane stoves," he adds. QUI HB Tisaus D. Ciluiu, FAMILY PRACTICE Is pleased to announce the opening of his new office at: 630 S. 400 E. Suite 102 ST.
