Speer Salina Sun Editor If youll take a look at the picture to the right of this paragraph, you will see why our newspaper was voted Number One in the state! There before you is the illustrious editor climbing fences to get a story. Actually, the sixth graders on the YBA A League Championship Running Utes Team forced me at sneaker point to climb the fence surrounding the football field. They even stole my camera and took this picture of me trying to jump down. The things Til do for a scoop. ... Salina, Police Take Good First Step on Dog Issue Editoral The Salina City council and Police Department is to be commended on its recent decision to crack down on dog offenders. the ball is in the publics court. Police Chief Gordon Kiesel has asked every resident of the town to report, squeal, file complaints and otherwise help the police find the owners of dogs who allow their animals to break the citys laws. A quick look around the town may or may not reveal any changes. But a look at the police log uncovers plenty. Just the beginning of this week alone Salina police handed out between 25 and 30 citations for owning or harboring unlicensed dogs. The city and police might not be too popular with a few people in town especially those on the short end of the law enforcement stick but as far as this newspaper is concerned the enforcement is long overdue. We commend the city for taking this much needed first step in helping to alleviate the dog problem in Salina. We encourage the public to continue helping the police in their efforts by reporting violations of the law, stray dogs, etc. to the police and by signing complaints against offending dog owners. Hats OFF! ' Editor. Sun: Hats off!.:;to a great bunch of kids... our N.S. Basketball Team. We salute them, not because they came out victorious, but because each one ended the year being a genuine trooper. W e have been to every game they have played except the one in Escalante, when there was a misunderstanding about ther blizzard and the boys not staying to play the game, we nave seen tne iook ot disappointment and defeat each time they lost to their opponent but we have seen a much nobler side of these fme young men. They went into each game with hope and optimism and each time they have lost they have felt deflated and beaten but it didnt hold them back. The next time for a tip-osaw them just as full of determination to win. Each time they went down fighting, even to the sound of the last buzzer at the Region Tournament Saturday night when they were defeated by Valley. They are troopers because they did not give up. . .they fought their fight to the bitter end. ff They have known the heartbreak of defeat but these fellows have learned many valuable lessons. They have shown great sportsmanship, deep respect for their coaches and between them there is a bond of team-pla- y and friendship. The Student Body, Cheerleaders, Drill Team and Pep Club have been loyal to their team, as has the team shown loyalty and respect and have given pride and honor to their Alma Mater. We say Hats off!, .'.to a great team! We say Hats off!. . .to fme coaches who have shown kindness and understanding to their team and who have won respect from each one of the boys. Triumphant? Not as far as win-- , ning the games but triumphant because of the many attributes they possess to make up a great team. May next year prove to be more successful with game victories but none the less triumphant with good sportsmanship, optimism and attitude. WE LOVE OUR TEAM! s- - Bill and Virgie Nielsen, Salina Editor, Sun: The Governor of the state of Utah, Scott Matheson, is promoting a 300 percent increase in the severance tax levied on oil and gas produced within the state. By the time this is published, this tax may well have passed the legislature. The proposal by the Governor is not new nor is it a surprise. What is of great concern is that the legislature, the majority of whom are Republicans, are seriously considering the passage of this measure. Families who depend on some type of income from private enterprise have been suffering as a result of national depression conditions, frankly, we had expected some form of tax relief from the Utah Republican legislature. Last year the legislature placed a 100 percent increase on the permits the state requires to move oversized loads on Utah highways. There was also an increase in the fee for licensing fo What is the True Church?

This happened at a time when small businessmen and contrctors of all sizes ahve been declaring bankrupcy at unprecedented numbers. It seems a sad fact of politics that legislators are elected to represent people and soon become representatives of the state. Utah faces another problem in that the legislators from the Wasatch front seem to have little concern for the conditions of rural Utah. This in spite of the fact that much of the construction and most of the mineral royalties originate in rural regions. 84007 I The statement that prompts this Water Charged Just Stuff Editor, Sun: Did you know that an electrical appliance in the off position but still plugged-i- n may eleactrocute you if it comes into contact with water?

Lets use it wisely. - ... EVERYONE! Unemployment in Duchesne County has more than doubled in the past year and is now much higher than the rest of the state as a whole. Oil companies are a major employer in the Uintah Basin. The oil companies have stated that due to the fact that Utah oil is difficult to produce and that many wells are operating at marginal profit, passage of the severance could be disastrous to the industry. We are not necessarily fans of the oil companies. However, we are concerned that families will suffer needlessly because legislators inspired by the concept that all wealth belongs to the state, are not investigating the very real repercussions that could result from this tax increase.

Sad Fact Until I do, however, let me extend this general invitation. Any reporter or secretary for any dvic organization is welcome to submit one artide each week concerning his or her dub. If it is submitted by deadline, chances are that it will be in that weeks paper. This next statement is a repeat of something said last year; We love you as much as you do. Better, said: We are as interested in what you are doing as you are in telling us. If you dont tell us, we dont print itin most cases. This week one of our faithful' readers gave me some constructive criticism. On one point she was correct and I thank her for her input. On another point, however, the culprits lie in the civic organizations and dubs. She said there was not enough news about these groups in our newspaper. .As Much As You Do Actually, most electrical appliare live ances, if plugged-in- , even though they are not in operation and should not be touched if they accidentally fall into water. What is your opinion? This newspaper welcomes opinions from its readers concerning any subject pertinent to southern Utah. While there is no restriction in length, we request good judgment and letters which are to the point. Anything of a libelous nature or defamation of character will not be considered for publication. Letters must be signed with the writers name and address, which must be published along with the letter. Deadlines for letters to the editor is 4 p.m. on Friday. have tried hard to print every piece of news that has come across my desk (on time) for these groups. She suggested that I call all of the dubs in town personally and invite them to submit artides. Thats a good idea and I might just do that. I have received some general feedback on last weeks column concerning Oklahoma! Unfortunately, neither the positive nor negative comments really showed an understanding of what was written. The piece was written as my public statement about a situation where my wifes and my point of view seemed to be coming out of the gossip mill. One rumor had it that we had resigned because we withwanted people to see that out us, the musical will fall apart. Good heavens! Maybe in our deepest freudian subconsciouses we felt that way, but certainly not on the surface. . . Now r Over a hundred years ago, being life. It still is today although somewhat modernized and mechanized. A cowboys life was a rough life; hard walk, little pay and little profit even in a good year. a cowboy was a way of i This has changed very little and in some parts of the country, the cowboy has faded away, but here in the west we still have some real-life, cowboys. There are all kinds of cowboys. There is the Urban cowboy who dresses horse-ridin- g up on Friday and Saturday night in western duds and rides on out to the local country-wester- n night dub. Gilleys Club in Pasadena, Texas is a prime example of the Urban Cowboy. The urban cowboy may wear scuffed, boots, faded jeans and belt complete with his name on it, but his hat, whether straw or felt, will be immaculate. There is also the cowboy. He drug store the one with the shiny boots, new jeans and what he thinks is a cowboy hat. Most of the time, neither urban nor drugstore cowboy has been any closer to a horse than in the movies. I have is known all kinds, but I do happen to know some of the real-life, ed down-to-eart- horse-ridin- h, g cowboys. They still brand, rope, all the necessary hard work it takes to run cattle. They still trail cattle to summer range and round them up in the fall. de-ho- m and do We even have some of those cowboys right here in our area. There are the Probert brothers from Sdpio, Rae Noyes, Jerry Christensen, Leo and Steve Crane, Elliot, Bill and Jim Crane of Salinn Then in Redmond, theres Owen Christensen who has been known to fall of his horse into the snow while riding fall round-u- p up on the Sweetwater range. Last but not least, theres Terrell Nelson who does his cowboying from a Cowboy Cadillac, a pickup truck. Not that Terrell cant ride a horse, he just believes in comfort and doing things the easy way. There is one sure way to tell a real cowboy from the others. Look at their hats and boots. If the hat has half the brim gone with holes in the crown and you cant tell what the original color was and if the n boots are and colorless, hes a real cowboy. Ask Bill Crane. He lost his favorite hat and couldnt eat, work or sleep until he found it O.K., guys, since the Spotlight has exposed all your secrets, we had better get out of here until next week.
