The City received a matched grant from the Utah Forestry Council to publish a brochure on trees in the community. Special thanks to Lynette Deru, Regina Smout, Bill Morris, and Randy Phipps for their work on this project. This brochure will be distributed along with this month's newsletter and features community forestry highlights, a list of trees suitable for planting in the area, and proper tree planting and care techniques. Additional copies of the brochure are available at the city office for the public to enjoy. ? Spring Cleaning. Despite some cold March snow, spring is eventually coming. As the weather warms, ground thaws, and tree leaves emerge from their winter buds, people will also emerge from their homes back into their yards. To assist in spring cleaning efforts, the city will provide garbage bags to residents. The bags can be picked up at the city office for use of removing trash and debris along roadways and front yards. As soon as you get these garbage bags filled, call the office and we can arrange a time to pick up these trash bags for you. Let's clean up the community! ? Road Striping. Anyone who drives along 400 North, and a few other roads in the area, can't really see the lines. That is, the painted road stripe lines. The eroding effect of salt and sand along with the friction of winter's snow plows have worn away the color and reflectiveness of the road stripes. The city hope to have 400 North striped in April, assuming the weather conditions permit. In order for the paint to be effective, we need a warm and dry condition to help the color hold and dry adequately on the road. Other roads in the city will be painted throughout the summer. Community History. Anyone interested in submitting a community history story for the newsletter can submit it in writing to the city office. Appropriate articles may be selected to be published as space is available. Planning Communities Highlights from a recent a Newsweek article provide 15 points to creating a more pleasant community: 1. Cluster new lots, make them smaller to conserve space. 2. Bring back the corner store. 3. Make walkable neighborhoods with bike routes, pathways, and pedestrian friendly access. 4. Plan new subdivisions to eliminate dead ends. 5.

Link work to home. 12. Make a town center. 13. Shrink parking lots, and carpool. 14. Turn down or off outside lights, as lights intrude on peacefulness of the night. 15. Conserve water, power, and nature. John Marriott: Pioneer - Settler Edited story excerpts from Ida Marriott Kyle John's big interest in life was work which he glorified by wearing a white shirt, no matter how ridiculous it seemed. He did his work throughly and vigorously; even at 70 years of age he surpassed his sons in labor. It was common for him to carry four sacks of 100 pound wheat at a time, one on each shoulder and one under each arm. The strength of John is legendary. He known to lift out by hand heavy farm equipment which was stuck. One time when two men were violently quarreling John lifted them up, one in each hand, and bumped their heads together, then dunked them in a tank of water. He then released them, told them to cool off before they killed each other, and to act like men. He liked the thrill of satisfaction that comes to those who realize a useful product from their own making and realize the delight of accomplishment. His profession was farming and stock raising, which he did in wholesale quantity, but his knowledge soared to techniques of wheelwrighting, blacksmithing, and building construction. He rarely employed the help of a professional in repair work. He believed strongly in the saying, "There is no such thing as it can't be done." Because of so much pioneering in his day, he volunteered more often than he was asked. He was first in line to volunteer to assist neighbors and to contribute to the community.
