The red and blue banners, stitched by the Monticello High home economics class, were hung last Friday by Troy Butler Frank Morrell photo (pictured) and Rye Nielson, city councilman. Understanding the game is half the battle, says state rep It took time to understand Tax increases. Adams said despite significant cuts in the state budget, a tax increase was inevitable for Utah to prosper. (3) The unexpected $100 million income tax windfall. Adams said the amount of the windfall was unpredictable because no one knew what effect the 1986 federal tax act would have on state tax structures. He said the Legislature has voted to return the money to Utah taxpayers. (2) how to play the game, David Adams told the Monticello Chamber of Commerce last week. Adams, who is serving his fourth year as a state representative, said he began his first term with high aspirations and the idea that the Wasatch Front neglects rural Utah. He said it took him three years to understand the legislative process, the power structure and how to play the game. He said in the beginning, he and other rural legislators worked without success to change the law that returned all federal mineral lease money generated in Utah to state government. He said in 1988, he, other rural legislators, and lobbyists combined forces to convince Wasatch Front senators it would be advantageous for them to support a house bill to return half the federal mineral lease money to the counties that produced the money. (Story in San Juan Record, March 4.) Adams said he supports of Governor Norman Bangerter. He asked voters not to fix blame on the governor for what appears to be three major election issues. They are: (1) The pumping of Great Salt Lake. Adams said the governor and legislators had no choice as so much of Utahs economy, is dependent on the railroad 'and industries af--i fected by the flooding. In other chamber business, President Dale Black reported on the Adopt-a-Tre- e project at He Lake. said several Loyds families responded. Under the supervision of the U. S. Forest Service, the families transplanted ponderosa pines from the mountain to the lake. Black said the project will continue throughout the summer. . Shed pull free, step on to dry such a position that the vet could ultimately help her ' deliver. She was unwilling to cooperate in any way, and the situation became a battle, not only of strength, but of wit, and it was in this area that the vet had it over her. When a calf is breach, as this one was, its seldom a live delivery unless help is there immediately. Strawberry had been trying to deliver all night. The big calf that should have been healthy and strong was bom dead, but this mother would have opportunity, if she would accept it, to raise a calf despite her loss. She had fallen during her The rope was still ordeal. around her horns and tied securely to a tree, and weak as she was she would be down for a short time, at least. The dead calf was taken away. Curley was brought on the scene, a rope around her neck, her legs tied so she couldnt stand, and she was rubbed in the fluids and discharge of the birth. Only then was the rope slackened which would allow Strawberry to stand. Slowly, and with difficulty, she did get on her feet, and shortly made her way to the calf. She sensed something was wrong. Was this really her calf? She wasnt sure. It took her some time to decide that she would accept it, but then came the hoped for moment. She carressed it with her tongue. It was at that point that the Baron and his crew left the hopeful mother and the old newborn to have a little time 'alone before they were moved to the corral. When the crew returned, Curleys legs were untied, the cow freed, and the calf was led (by the rope still around her neck) to the bam. Strawberry kept trying to coax the little one away but was unwilling to desert her baby when the coaxing failed. They were left in the corral until evening, and then turned loose, with the fervent hope that the bond was made. Early the next morning the Baron went to find the pair. A time of searching revealed the mother, but more searching was required to spot the baby. As he continued looking for the little one, he noted that the mother was apprehensive about the whole thing, and ready to come to the defense of her offspring at the first sign of danger. When at last the baby was discovered hiding under a sagebrush, he did not disturb her, but marveled at the ability of that mother. She had had this two week old calf less than 24 hours, but in that time she had taught her to have a trust and obedience that is rarely matched in the human field even after years of training. two-wee- iSDdEEmiii MAY 18 - 24 BlandmgR678?272 Mm.

The Baron and Baroness, completing the chores, watched closely the direction the big cow took. Darkness was already falling and as they felt no undue concern for her since she was a big cow and had had several calves, they left her to let nature take its course. Come daylight the following morning, however, the Baron and his Mrs. were on their way to check out the situation. The search wad begun immediately. The cow was found, still in labor, with two little hooves protruding, but those hooves were upside down, a sure sign of trouble. Hurriedly they rushed back to town to gather up the Baroness and call the vet. Undoubtedly it would be easier to have the old girl in the corral where they could handle her with more ease, and with that in mind they started herding her in that direction. Their plans did not coincide with hers. She started running, went into the field with the other cows, and then it was a wild stampede. They went right past the corral, with never a thought of stopping, and when they came to a pond, the rest of the herd went on one side and the expectant bossy went on the other. She stayed close by the water and when the vet threw his lasso and roped her around the horns she began her fervent fight. She stepped out into the water, succeeding not in getting away, but in getting herself stuck. Serious pulling and prodding by the helpers began to persuade her to move on to dry ground for a better situation. ground, and then back up into the mud again. After a great deal of effort, pulling with the rope around a tree for leverage, that excited old bovine was brought into ISSN Nite) 0894-327- 3 8 Published weekly by San Juan Record, Inc., at Monticello, Utah.
