Bangerter also noted he is considering creating a Utah Development Finance Authority which reached crisis proportion and must be addressed imediately. Bangerter also recommended a 5.3 percent pay hike for state businesses in getting loans and other funding; a program of regional matching funds through which counties would be eligible for matching state dollars for economic promotion; and the creation of a Governors Council on Economic Development involving both the private and public sectors. The governor was also generous to welfare recipients and other underprivileged citizens. He recommened a 2.5 percent cost of living increase for public assistance recipients and an additional $1.4 million for the states supplemental day care service for low, income single parents. No group of citizens is more dserv-in- g of assistance than the handicapped, Bangerter added. I recommend a budget increase of six percent for the division of service to the handicapped. The governor also recommended the state spend $25.8 million next year for .the first pase of a three-yea- r plan to rennovate and tighten security at the state prison. We must continue to spend an increasing amount of state resources in order to protect public safety, he said The capital facility needs have workers are among the most productive in the nation. But while his budget received high marks from most legislators, a $30 million commitment in his buget to take care of flooding pronblems was viewed as inadequate. In order to take care of all our flood problems, I think were going to need a lot more than $30 million, said Sen. Kay Cornaby Lake. Hes down to just a few million left over from the surplus in his budget allocations, so it ;s going to be really interesting to see how hes going to handle flooding without a tax increase. Sen. Fred Finlinson, who is the author of a $220 million e appropriations bill for several flood control projects, said there was no way Bangerters allocations would hanbdle Utahs flood mitigation needs. If were just going to use that much money, the first thing we need to do is dredge the Jordan River, Finlinson said. That will cost $10 million and that doesnt leave much for anything else. It wont even begin to address the problems associated with flooding along the Great Salt Lake. LAKE.' Gov. Norm Bangerters record $2.6 billion SALT - budget proposal for fiscal year 1986 was regarded as generally fair by the lawmakers, but some feared he ignored flood problems. Bangerter unveiled his spending plan before a joint session of the legislature Wednesday. It contains no tax increase, but neither is there a tax reduction. His budget is $100 million below that proposed by former Gov., Scott Matheson, but is about $200 million more than the current fiscal year funding level. The governor recommended a $100 million increase for public and higher education, $922.3 million for public ed, 3.22 million for higher ed. about $14 million more than the hefty increase the legislature appropriated last year. Our challenge is a rapidly growing school populatron, Bangerter said. Our goal is excellence in education. He also recommended a $5.1 million increase for the Dept, of Community and Economic Development, which represents a 73 percent hike. A growing economy is vital to Utahs future, the governor, said. Although we realize that state governments role is necessarily limited, I am proposing that sufficient resources be committed to let To Ward Off Enemy assist stable smnall employees, would -- Fire that Utah noting lt long-rang- The Cage 36-1- 34-1- 33-1- 35-3- 19-1- 22-1- All-Sta- 18-1- 24-1- 30-2- 37-3- 30-2- 32-2- 46-4- 40-2- 35-2- d 52-3- 22-1- 8-- 2 49-3- department has found that kindergarten through third grade, are the age group that best accepts and assimilates fire safety education, he explained. Moore and Gizmo are visiting elementary schools throughout the area, teaching safety and escape techniques. Gizmo is the star of the show and a great help in reaching and teaching the youngsters, Moore stressed. The robot was born in Sandy, he noted, built by a retired fireman. A1 Goldman of the Salt Lake City Fire Department, is in charge of the Salt Lake public education program and handles the remote controlled robot. One of the' unique aspects of this between program is the inter-actio- n the Salt Lake City Fire Department and the West Valley Department. They are working with us now on this elementary school teaching project and we shall be working with them in February in a program to be said presented at ZCMI Mall, probably the seasons challenge. We need that. great South 70, Murray 39 - It would be difficult to imagine a tougher way to open league play than to face twin terrors South and Judge, but that was the way the Murray Spartans launched their Region Six slate. Weve just got to put those games behind us, reported Murray head coach Mike Evans, because weve got another important game coming up Friday at Jordan. Weve got to tell ourselves, Yes, we can win. Following Fridays outing, the Spartans will be traveling to Tooele on Friday, Jan. 25. South broke out to a 15-- lead by the end of the first period then added 15 more in the second compared to just seven for Murray for a 6 margin. Murray fell behind 5 in the third quarter then South shifted into high gear for a burst in the final stanza. Eight points was the best offensive effort for any Spartan player, that coming from both Jim Blackham and Tim Nevenner. Murray was plagued by a rash of turnovers in the contest, ending up with a total of 28. I really thought we played better against Judge than against South, noted coach Evans. We just didnt play with any confidence against South. It was if the kids went into the game knowing they couldnt win. I think that had a lot to do with our turnover total. In the Judge game, said Evans, Murray shaved 17 points off a 30 9 30-1- 44-2- Bulldogs younger children, those in That was the game. West never mounted a serious challenge.

Lytle added 11 points (4, 3x5) and 14 rebounds, and Cordova scored 10, all from the field, and had six assists. Yerkovich pronounced himself pleased with both outings, and admitted he and his team are looking forward to the contest with South tomorrow.

Gizmo the Robot, complete with firemans pants, red suspenders and hat, is helping members of the West Valley City Fire Department in a project designed to teach children how to escape from a burning building. Children are often so afraid when caught in a fire thay they hide under beds, in closets and often suffocate before they can be found and rescued, explained Oliver Moore, administrative officer for the Spoils Continued from page 3 said the high school player, veteran Yerkovich who expects a sixth man to come in and change the complexion of the game.

West Jordan took a 9 lead into the lockerroom. Kearns won the third period but had too far to come and West Jordan was able to get the lead back out to 12 with some nifty charity shooting, hitting on 30x38 for the night while the Cougars were a miserable 12x27. Martinez led all scorers with 21 (8, 5x9), despite sitting down for more than a quarter. Brett McCleary added 16 (2, 12x12). Coach Dan Cowan also cited the play of Shawn Simp31-1- 16-1- son, Ross Kump and Chad Michaelson as instrumental in the big win. John Hatch paced the Cougars with 20 (8, 4x6) but didnt have much help. Jeff Pace added eight and Gary Bronson came off the bench for seven. Wheeler Farm Accepting Reservations MILLCREEK.

Gizmo rolls around on his own wheels, talking to the fascinated children and listening as they talk to him. He has lights on his chest, eyes that blink. When a child talks to him, he can wink right at him. When the child does something correctly or answers a question correctly, Gizmo winks and rings a bell. If the child makes a mistake, he gives him a , raspberry. children the technique for putting out flames if they catch fire, talking them through the necessary procedure, correcting them if they do it wrong, encouraging them to keep trying until they do it right. The robot also helps the firemen explain how to escape from a burning house, how to roll out of bed rather than stand and be exposed to hot gasses, learn primary and secondary exits and how to get down if caught on an upper level or roof.

Trey Reynolds, Noah Siple and Lori Tripp are among the hundreds of students in the west valley who have met Gizmo during his fire safety rounds. and Gizmo demonstrates use of smoke detectors. We want to teach the children insafety methods and formation on fire safety and get it locked in to their minds so they will always remember it, said Moore. Children and teachers are excited about the program, and Fireman Gizmo is a popular, efficient teacher r, the kind and, possibly, a of friend every child needs, Moore concluded. life-save- When you pay your GreenSheet carrier he or she will give you a numbered receipt.
