-REM: Tw AAoforcvclisfs Iniured Tuesday, May 14, 1985 THE HERALD. Provo. Utah, Page 3 New Station Flans Provo Headquarters another license. 1 Provo will become the home of a fourth Utah commercial television station, Channel 16. The announcement was made by Ross Boyd, president of Morro Rock Resources, an over-the-counter company headquartered in Salt Lake City that has been granted a construction permit to operate a full power station that could be on the air July 1986.

The FCC granted Morro Rock permission April 29 to construct and operate Utah's newest TV station, Boyd said. He said the channel will be a UHF station with call letters yet to be determined. "There's really a need for it," he said. "Provo and Salt Lake are in the 42nd market out of 50 as far as tv households. There's only three network stations and one independent.

In many markets 50-100 there's up to six stations. That's why the FCC decided to grant ACCIDENTS Motorcyclist Kiyoshi Ono, 23, of 733 N. 600 Provo received scrapes and cuts when he was involved in a collision with a car driven by Ruth Stringham, 67, of 2217 N. 650 Provo, Monday about 6 p.m. Provo Police Department traffic investigators indicated that Ono was westbound on 2200 North and Stringham was eastbound on the same roadway.

The accident occurred as Mrs. Stringham turned left onto Police Beat Timpview Drive, police sources said. Ono was treated at the accident scene and then taken to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.

BURGLARY Burglars took an estimated $2,415 worth of household goods that were being stored in a storage unit located at 1901 800 N.

He said he wants local control of the retirement system so that consideration for Orem City employees can be more direct. Discussion about new revenue sources will probably center on the franchise, property and sales taxes. Legislators will discuss whether current tax ceilings are too restrictive to cities. Student Gets Possible Scam Phone Call Individuals perpetrating a credit card scam a few months ago apparently are back in business, according to the report of a BYU graduate student. -The Daily Herald alerted its readers to the scam some time ago and warned against giving credit card numbers to anyone over the telephone.

The student said he was contacted by telephone this morning by a person identifying himself as a representative of Omni Pharmaceuticals and told he had won in merchandise through his Visa or Master Charge number. "The individual sounded like a radio announcer and gave his pitch in a very enthusiastic manner," the student said. "He told me I would have to identify myself through my Visa or Master Charge number in order to collect the prize." The student, who did not wish to be identified, said he had let the caller "give his whole pitch" then told him he and others throughout the valley were on to the scam. "He hung the telephone up immediately," he said. He then reported the call to Brigham Young University security officers, who said the call apparently came from the same individuals who operated the scam previously.

Brian Tresaskis Pholo moved to ambulance after being By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN Herald Staff Writer Residents of a Provo trailer park apparently have made peace with the Post Office 1 concerning mailV I deliveries. I Gene Metzgar, a resident, said representatives have met with postal officials and difficulties I have been! worked out be-' tween them, although there still) seems to be some Gene Metigar controversy concerning the trailer park owner. Metzgar said the Post Office has agreed to resume delivery of mail to the trailer park. He reported that postal officials said they had asked the park owner to move the boxes to a more secure location, or to install a light near them.

The Nebo School District Monday morning voted to allow students to compute their either including their freshman grades or without their freshman grades. Errol Smith, clerk-treasurer of Nebo School District, noted the policy is to figure the GPA based on grades 10-12. The board decided to make the exception for this year since one of the three high schools, Payson, was figuring GPA based on grades 9-12. Bedouin Boots SPRING ACTION SALE! (tee "Classified" under Boats) Two other firms filed applications with the FCC for rights to operate the station, San Joseph Broadcasting in Salt Lake City and Skagit Valley 'Publishing in Seattle, Wash.

The two withdrew their applications. Part of the final FCC agreement was that a new corporation, Royal Television of Utah, formed under Jackson Dell Weaver, Salt Lake City, who has working knowledge of the Utah television market, would be the owner of 10 percent and Morro Rock the owner of 90 percent. Royal Television will own and operate Channel 16. Programming emphasis of the station is still to be determined but residents along the Wasatch Front, from Provo to Ogden, will have 24-hour viewing. The main studios for the station will be in Provo with a satellite studio and offices in Salt Lake City.

worked out so far, Metzgar said. Mail service was discontinued last week by the Post Office, after a number of mail thefts had been reported. Postal officials told The Daily Herald that they wanted the mailboxes locked to prevent further thefts. The rural-type mail boxes can be equipped with padlocks, but park residents were concerned that magazines and periodicals could not be pushed through the narrow slots. "The Post Office people have suggested we have one large, locked box for the magazines, and that each resident have a key.

We're working on that, but nothing has been resolved so far," he said. Scott Briggs, park owner, told The Daily Herald last week that he plans blacktopping and other improvements at the trailer park this summer, and did not feel he could afford to install new locking mailboxes or other security devices at this time.

Perhaps one of the more significant items on the list was social security. Utah County employees do not have that subtracted from their paychecks. Many other government entities do. Instead of social security, the county offers a retirement policy through Mutual Benefit Life. This policy is based on the employee's salary but a good portion of it is paid by the county instead of coming out of the employee's salary.

Other items could be considered, long-term disability, health and medical coverage, state retirement, where the county might not place high on the list of comparisons. One area the county is weak in is dental coverage. "Dental insurance would put us above all others we compared with, but since we don't have that, we are probably on parity," McGinn said. Wilson noted other benefits which county employees probably rate favorably when compared to other government entities include funeral leave, safety bonuses and helping with education tuition.

JACKSON Herald Staff Writer Utah County employees have one of the better benefits packages offered by local government entities, county officials claim. "It is my impression that we are as generous as anyone with our benefits package to employees," County Commissioner Jeril Wilson said last week. John McGinn, county personnel director, notes the a county employee drawing a $725 bi-weekly wage can also expect $327.90 in benefits. When the benefits are added to the sala.y, the benefits make up about 45 percent of the total investment in the employees. The last comparative survey the county did on benefits, done in 1984, indicated the county rates favorably in travel reimbursement, 26 cents per mile to 25 cents per mile for the next best entity on the list, Provo.

The county topped the list in sick leave days granted per year, 13 days to 12 for the other government entities. Orem and the county were among the leaders in life insur 7 QUILT SHOW ALE!
