You remember the 1.7 million-acr- e national monument in Utah declared into existence by President Clinton while standing in Arizona last year. Representative Jim Hansen from Utahs northern district has sponsored a bill in Congress. It would prevent other monuments from being created, under the same "surprise party" circumstances that the Utah monument was created. The bill would require the president to consult with a states governor 30 days before declaring a national monument. Utahs lawmakers and governor complained and I believe rightly so that they should have been informed and consulted well before the monument was declared. Hansens bill has passed the House 229-19If it gets that far. President Clinton could veto the bill and an override would be difficult. Ive also learned that the new national monument has a "webpage" on the Internet. The address is: http:www-a- . 7. blm.govutahmonument. There is a "Visions Kit" on the webpage which invites comment. Those of you with computers who are "hooked up" to the net may want to visit the site and then express your opinions on how the monument should be managed. 462-324- pre-Gle- John McClellan, of Mt.

The small steeple in the front entrance has been restored to its original. Many unique, historical, architectural designs are also brought to light, from the people who shaped this historical place in the beginning of the century. This building. Im sure, is one of the oldest in Mt. Pleasant (if not the oldest) still in use. Also, the old fire station was restored and preserved by Veterans of Foreign Wars. These two old buildings are both neighbors and are on the banks of "Old Pleasant Creek." Several blocks surround them in the heart of Mt. Pleasant. Many of these old homes and buildings were the first built out of the fort. We are happy to see the funeral business still in operation in their building.

They will also be remembered for the civic work they also did. Anything we can preserve from the past has a value; our main street project, also the old depot. Let me say "preserving the past for future" will be our love and memory of our pioneer ancestors so our future generation can know something of their heritage and ancestry. Maybelle P. Frandsen Mt.

Goblin Grove is spooky Halloween for families with younger children. Then Dr. Fright is scarier for the older car commitment to our children and just plain fun for kids. I couldnt tell who was having more fun in the parades, the children or these two men. They donated their time, equipment, manpower, materials and talent to produce the car without hesitation and thought for themselves. The completion of the car required others who were ready to help complete the project. w; EPHRAI- M- An American Legion service officer will be at the Ephraim Employment Center, Monday, Nov. 3 from 12 noon to 1 p.m. to assist veterans, dependents, and widows in understanding and applying for VA benefits, including compensation, pension, hospitalization, education, and other benefits.

The learning activity will explain why leaves turn colors and fall when in season. They are designed to expand the imagination and creative abilities using and learning from everyday things around them. Representative Hansen and Cannon have been vocal recently on another issue. Im sure youve heard of the great idea to drain Lake Powell. If I remember right, this one came from the Sierra Club. The concept would be to return the Colorado River to its natural n Canyon Dam state. I have respect for many environmental concerns and even have a friend or two who pay dues to the Sierra Club. But this proposition doesnt have both oars in the water. Its at least one taco short of a combination plate. Our Congressman, Chris Cannon was quoted in the Richfield Reaper by "Off the Cuff" columnist Hal Edwards as giving the "Top Ten Environmental Ideas That Might Be Even Dumber Than Draining Lake Powell." I quote our congressmans list in descending order: 10. Remove the State of Liberty and reclaim Liberty Island. 9. Return New Orleans and southern Louisiana to its natural wetland state. 8. Dismantle lighthouses cluttering our nations shorelines. 7. Return Mount Rushmore to its pristine state. 6. Repack Manhattans Lincoln Tunnel. 5. Remove the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco Bay. 4. Rip up the interstate highways that litter our landscapes. 3. Fill in the Erie Canal. 2. Return Washington D.C. to its original wetlands. And No. 1. Designate a 1.7 million acre national monument in southern Utah without due process, hearing or local input. . . .Merrill Those who stepped in the job were Moroni Feed for the wheel; Sanpete County for the car; Manti Ambulance for the light bar; Freedom Ford for the headlamps; Pro Arms for the installation of the light bar; Sheriff Anderson and family; Dan Peel and Ilene Johansen, who taped the car.
