Color Country Spectrum, Sunday. September 24, 1978 3 Dixie may net $5,000 from the flea market ST. EORG Friday's Dixie High School's flea market turned out to be a magnet for draw ing a large crowd. An estimated $3,800 has already been raised by the students and teachers. "We will have near $5,000 when all the teachers have turned in their money on Monday," Principal, Floyd Braunberger said Saturday.

"We were simply overjoyed by the support of the community and the way they responded to our activ ity." he added. The high school campus turned into an outdoor market for items contributed by merchants and donated by supporters in the community. There were raffles and contests and some bartering on the bargains. Students, faculty and parents contributed baked goods and set up popcorn and refreshment stands. There are a number of pieces of equipment needed at the school.

The top priority item pn the list is some new copying equipment. This was the main reason for the fund-raising flea market. "Of course we needed the money, but just as important was the experience the students received on business transactions and pitching in and helping the school." Braunberger said. "We wanted to give all the students a chance to participate and get to know the teachers and have lun while they learned," he said. The high school officials are thankful to all who contributed to the market and they would like to invite all contributors to come and enjoy lunch with the students and faculty at the school.

The number of people that attended the flea market is undetermined but. if standing in lines and almost lighting for purchase items is any indication, the crowd was in the thousands. Hurricane Council retains water policy HURRICANE No change in the city culinary water policy, currently frozen to service only areas within the city limits, was made by the Hurricane mayor and City Council at a meeting Thursday night. A glimer of hope was offered however, that upon completion of the new water system including a well, reservoir and extended distribution lines, there might be a surplus of water to sell outside the city. Jason Ballard, a young man seeking to build a home on his Airport Road acreage in the south fields, presented an appeal for a water connection onto a privately developed line serving other farmers and orchardists.

It was explained by officials that Utah State law forbids a municipality from selling any but surplus water outside the city limits. A number of years ago. when the Ash Creek system was developed the community was very small, water was made available to field residents. Recent growth of the community, including sub-divisions and annexation, has required the maximum operation of the present source to city residents. Currently, there are about 1,000 connections to the Hurricane water system.

It was stated by Steve Creamer, from the flea market will go toward the purchase of new copying equipment at the high school. (Spectrum staff photo) Friday afternoon 's flea market at the Dixie High School proved a great success with the school anticipating more than $5,000 in profits from what was billed "The largest garage sale in southern Utah. The proceeds Five-county group turns down Iron County water plan BEAVER The Five County Association of Governments Wednesday at its meeting in Beaver rejected Iron County's formula for payment in the water quality plan. John Williams, executive director of the FCAOG. said Iron County was asked to pay a larger portion of the $4,900 needed to continue water quality studies since a large portion of studies would be conducted in Iron County.

The Iron County Commission agreed to pav one-fifth of the costs $980. but said the $1,700 that the FCAOG asked for wai too much. Iron County Commission Chairman Grant Seaman said earlier Iron County would consider tackling the water quality problem on its own by hiring an engineer to work with the county and study the problem. "Fifty-two percent of the private, ground in the five counties is located in Iron County. It is a simple fact to see that most of the water quality testing would be conducted in Iron and Washington counties." said Williams.

"There are several options we are hoping to work out with the Iron County Commission," he said. "Iron County could pay the $980 and receive less studies in the area, or the Cedar City Corporation could come up with the additional funding needed." Williams said he feels Iron County's plan to hire an engineer to study the water quality would not prove beneficial and cost more than the FCAOG proposal. "Engineers use existing data for their studies, but no studies really exist. More comprehensive study is needed before an engineer could be of use," he said. Leak moves gas truck out of Cedar CEDAR CITY A Consolidated Freighways truck carrying a highly flammable gas was driven south of town early Friday morning under emergency conditions when the driver discovered a leak.

The unidentified driver pulled into the Cedar Crest motel at 1 :30 a.m., smelled the fumes and notified authorities. The Cedar City fire, police and sheriff's departments combined their efforts in moving the truck to a sale location south of town until representatives for the chemical company arrive Friday and check the leak. Postmaster warns about door-to-door salesmen CEDAR CITY A caution from Cedar City Postmaster Frank J. Petty concerning door to door sales of incomplete or out of date zip code or post office directories has been given to city residents. "Businesses and households should be on the lootout for persons going door to door selling these directories.

They are not authorized to do so by the postal service," Petty said. He added that frequently, the person doing the selling will be a young person posing as a student who will use the proceeds from the sale to further his education. Sales of incomplete or outdated directories have been particularly prevalent in recent weeks on the West Coast, in the Great Lakes States and in such cities as Detroit, Philadelphia and Phoenix, he said. Petty urged residents to report all incidents of such sales. Cedar City Council adopts building ground rules for troubled soil areas to clear up a rumor that he.

the city engineer and city manager had given a variance on council policies required for subdividers to test drill. He said no such variance has been given to anyone. In other matters, the council approved the appointments of D.C. Schmutz. Don Wheelwright, and Joanna Brown to the Library Board.

Gary Middleton will serve on the city's planning commission. The city approved holding a hearing on the matter of property owned by Lowell Hermanson on North Main Street where the owner has just completed constructing a building to be used for a restaurant. The city will annex only if the owner agrees to sign a contract with the city to install a sewer line within two years in the event no special improvement district has been established in the meantime. Councilman Gordon Slack abstained in the voting. He said he could remember a similar situation where the owner had been turned down for annexation to the city because the sewer requirement was part of the annexation agreement.

He said he thought it was the city's duty to treat all businesses alike. He also objected to the position in which the city had been placed. "We're being blamed for holding up a new business. If the planning on this had been done properly it wouldn't have happened in the first place," he said. The council followed a recommendation by City Manager John Hendrickson that the city employ the services of the state's intergovernmental agency to study the city's personnel classification system.

He said the study would remove any doubt of impartiality. The council approved $2,000 to the Cedar Jaycees for downtown Christmas lighting. The council also approved $25 for the annual Old Folks Party. CEDAR CITY-The Cedar City Council will study the adoption of an ordinance which will establish ground rules for building in areas where soil conditions are unstable. Councilwoman Barbara Starr reported to the council Thursday she had been in touch with Rawlins, Brown andGunnell.

"There's a good chance they could do a few more test holes and then recommend a blanket means to deal with the problems," she said. She said that data developed from subdividers who have followed city drilling requirements before developing, indicate that the recommendations for building are similar for various parts of the city. Almost all have required a pre-saturation of the soil before laying foundations. There also is a possibility that an arrangement could be made where the city hires all drilling work, billing the subdivides Mayor Jack Sawyers said he wanted city engineer, that the new system will allow up to 1.700 new connections. By early 1979, it was indicated, the city might be able to sell surplus water.

Cost of new connections was discussed, but no definite decision was reached. A motion was passed lor a study, however. It was explained by Willard Webb, superintendent of maintenance, that the current connection fee for city residents is $500. The base cost of the new system, he said will be in excess of $550. When the cost of a meter and installation labor is added, the base cost will exceed $800 for city connections, he added.

Good Samaritan 's killer given life SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Douglas Yoakam has been sentenced to life in prison, just two days after he changed his plea to guilty in the killing of Good Samaritan Justin Taufer. Third District Court Judge Bryant Croft spent more than $50 million bond sale cleared one hour Friday afternoon relating the circumstances of the case and handing down the sentence. He could have sent the 28-year-old Yoakam to the firing squad or hangman. Yoakam was charged with gunning down the 67-year-old Taufer when the man tried to break up an attack by Yoakam on a young woman in Millcreek Canyon last summer. The woman, Karen Sue Roberson, was critically wounded in the attack but has since recovered.

Yoakam changed his plea to guilty of first-degree murder Wednesday and Croft held a sentencing hearing later that day. The judge said he was sparing Yoakam's life because the state had not proved that the aggravating circumstances in the case outweighed the mitigating circumstances. Those mitigating circumstances included psychiatric reports that showed Yoakam to be a paranoid schizophrenic who believed people were out to kill him. Agustin Or by State Supreme Court ruling i ST.

The high court Friday overturned a Third Distrid Court decision that had barred teachers from serving in the Legislature. The action cleared the way for the state to finalize the sale of more than $50 million in public works bonds, which had been jeopardized by the challenge to laws passed by the last Legislature. But the justices did not address themselves to the constitutionality of whether public school teachers and administrators can serve as lawmakers.

In the majority opinion written by Justice Richard Maughan. the court said. "We do not reach that issue, and the District Court should not have reached it, because poper parties defendant are not before the court. For that reason, we reverse the District "Because proper parties defendant are not before the court, a decision disposing (of the issue) would be advisory only. Rendering advisory opinions is not a function of this court." Named as defendants were the president of the Utah Senate and the Speaker of the Utah House.

Third District Court Judge Hal Taylor ruled last month in the suit brought by Salt Lake realtor Lynn Jenkins, that the Utah Constitution prevented public school teachers and administrators from serving in the Legislature. But Taylor refused to grant Jenkins' request that all laws passed by the last Legislature be declared null and void, including authorization for the bond issue. The high court ruled that the last Legislature was a de factor legislature. "Thus, laws enacted by it are not invalid by reason of its membership." Adultschool beginning HURRICANE Adult school, for those over 18 years of age, will begin Oct. 3 at Hurricane High School, according to Lane Shumway, student counselor.

The evening instruction is intended for those persons who have dropped out of school before obtaining a diploma. Shumway said that those who intend to enroll should contact either himself or G. Wayne Edwards, principal, before the opening date. If the drop-out was from Hurricane High School, there will be no difficulty in pulling old records to determine the exact needs of a prospective student. If the person attended another school, it would be necessary to obtain transcripts of credits.

The primary goal of adult school, Shumway said, is for the student to study for and obtain an adult high school diploma. In some cases, he said there might be legitimate reasons why a prospective student could not attend adult school. In that event, there is a secondary goal of preparing the candidate for a General Education Development test which would entitle the individual to a high school equivalency certificate.
