Show SEPTEMBER 9, 1986 Cyclops Lighter Side By Bryan Gray Retaliate with catsup Listed in the football program at 65 and 275 pounds, Rich Ipaktchian is a formidable opponent, not the type of person youd want to anger by pulling some stupid stunt. At the University of Utah he seldom found a situation he could not control, whether it be a slightly tipsy underclassman in the Commons or a bullish fullback intent on cracking through the Redskin line. But last week Rich found a situation unlike anything hed seen before: A heated display of antagonism between smokers and sessions slates work Council Kays. Continued from page one This means that the first past due notice is not sent to a power user for 60 days, and a final termination notice does not arrive for 90 days. That allows electric bills to become quite costly. Wagaman made a motion to suspend the bill while the city studies the issue, as well as to allow Sheffield to reconnect power to the apartment in question as soon as he rents it out. The issue will now be discussed by the council in a special work session later this month. Kris Christensen approached the council concerning property he owns in West Kaysville. He has decided to subdivide the property into four lots, three of them one acre in size and the final lot a bit for larger than two acres. He asked instalfor tests to begin permission lation of septic tanks on the site, as the sewer system does not reach that property. But the city has an ordinance which requires all subdivisions to be on sewer systems. Mrs. Page voiced that the city hasnt had to deal much with the septic tank issue until recently, when developments in the annexed West Kays ville area have come to light. After some discussion, this issue was also docketed for a council work session later this month. Howard Burkholz, a resident at 492 E. 1650 South-- came to the council after the city building inspector informed him a fence on his property violated a city ordinance requiring six inches between the fence and sidewalks. Mr. Burkholz brought with him photos of several other homes in the city with fences in violation, none of which had been forced to be moved. It became a sticky issue again, and finally, aftr the discussion , In other business, council members approved a revised Traffic Code to bring it in to accordance with new state statutes, and a new approved the purchase of snow and plow. truck utility Women to meet The Federal Womens Club will hold its September luncheon at 12:30 p.m..

He has seen his share of a local violence: Kids smearing ice cream on tabletops, little rascals throwing ice cubes in his floral planters, teenagers racing window lane, Firebird engines through the drive-isouped-u- p etc. But the smoking incident, he says, is the worst hed ever seen. It began when a middle-agecouple sat down at a booth in the section and, in between the order of onion rings, decided to light up two cigarettes. This immediately drew a reaction from several young mothers and their children seated nearby. A preference in hamburgers may include mustard, catsup or pickles but hamburgers with a hazy layer of smoke rings is an unappetizing combination. Words were exchanged, including many words not found in Biblical texts. And soon one of the young women approached Rich at the counter. section, said These people are smoking in the the lady, and the smoke is bothering my childrens eyes. Do something about it! At this point, says Rich, the two smokers moved 10 feet away to a table in the smoking area, and the manager thought the smoky battle was over. He was wrong! Several minutes later, the woman once again approached the counter. Do you know what those people did? she asked. They just left the restaurant and, passing by our table, they threw their cigarette butts and their ashes on our hamburgers. Let me call the police. The ladies raced to the parking lot, jotted down the license plate number of the Marlboro couple and presumably telephoned the authorities. An hour later one of the smokers telephoned the restaurants owner to complain about rude people and ask that the smoking section sign be increased. As for my critique of the incident. ..Since I've quit smoking 84 times, I know full well that abstention from tobacco is absolutely no problem. It seems strange that tobacco fiends cannot refrain from lighting up during the short time of consuming an onion ring and a strawberry shake. It also seems strange that tobacco fiends cannot walk 10 feet to a nearby table. .and it seems equally strange that the tobacco fiends cannot read signs measuring lx2 (unless, of course, the smoke got in their eyes). But the strangest part of the entire episode is the act of dumping cigarette butts on a childs hamburger. Thats an antisocial act not covered by either Emily Post or Utah State stait should also lead tute. It should make all smokers wheeze--an- d d retaliation. to the Next time that happens to you, dont jot down the license number. Dont call the police. Instead, race out to the car and squirt catsup on the smokers front seat.

A state could choose to keep the 55 mph law in effect. Although the bill was voted votes at the last down by only Congressional session. Congressman Hansen said he felt it would be brought up again and that it could become law by July 1987. Mr. Hansen indicated there are great concerns about tax reform legislation. He said tax reform was suggested by President Reagan in 1984. The President noted the present system is complicated. He wanted something that was simple and fair. According toCongressman Hansen, the first tax reform proposal was not satisfactory. One major problem was that it penalized people who itemized deductions by lowering the personal exemption Utahns itemize every$500. thing, the Congressman stated. It would have worked against the people in this state. After changes and input from the Senate, the matter was taken to a conference committee to work out the differences between the House version and the Senate version. Congressman Hansen says there are still some provisions that are not appealing but the philosophy 1 1 now about tax reform has evolved to this statement, Is it a good deal for the average American? Major objections to tax reform that the Congressman noted is that it does away with some important deductions and it eliminates credit on interest paid for major purchases like automobiles. Pluses for the legislation include a minimum tax on everyone and the fact that corporations are now paying more. Guest speaker for the October Chamber of Commerce meeting will be Gunn McKay who will be opposing Congressman Hansen in the November election.

We are in the middle of a major reconstruction of the state highway which passes through our City. It is a long process at best and the rains of the past week have prolonged the job further. In the meantime, our friends and neighbors, the small business operators along the affected Main Street area, are facing great financial distress due to difficult access to their businesses. The sidewalks are in and vehicle traffic can reach within a short half block of any of the businesses. It is a little difficult but you can reach them with a little extra effort.
