You are all acquainted with Noall and know him as he is today. If you stop to contemplate what kind of a man he is I am sure you would each have your own words to describe your feelings toward him so I will mention a few here: HE IS a hard worker; he loves people, old and young has time to and also to the has fulfilled many dreams and is a balancing rod for the pressures and tensions of his medical world. He is alike. He always listen, to learn, talk. He loves His ranch extremely proud of his family from Helene on down; and he likes to help to achieve in anything worthwhile. He paid for the plans for the city swimming pool because he saw the necessity. That got it started. That is why he has worked so hard to get more Kiwanis members too. That is why he spent so much of his life in getting the medical center which we have in Layton. When everyone else gave up, he found another avenue to explore. He is still applying pressure to make the a reality. ramp on on-o- HIS MIND is always open , for new and better ways. He is never bored. What more can I say than to say that I love the man, Noall Tanner. Upcoming Deer Hunt This year, 200,000 Utah deer hunters will enjoy some of the best deer hunting in the nation. However, the success rate is expected to be less than last years, according to LaVar Ware, information officer for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. In 1978, 193,000 hunters took 68,000 deer for an average success rate of 35 percent. ALONG WITH one of the highest success rates, Utah hunters also enjoy the lowest deer hunting license fee of any of the 11 western states. Fees vary from a high of $20 in Nevada to a low of $7 in Utah. Wildlife biologists throughout the state are not optimistic about an increased harvest. In the extreme southwestern part of the state, the deer population is down; and biologists are predicting hunters will find fewer deer. BECAUSE OF severe conditions last winter in the northeastern area of the state, biologists are finding fewer yearling bucks which will reduce hunting success.1 In central and northern Utah, hunters should find deer ; populations about the same as last years. Because of the extremely hot, dry conditions, hunters should be veiy careful with fires and take extra care to properly cool their deer to prevent spoilage. Deer must be properly tagged, and evidence of sex must remain attached to the carcass. HUNTERS SHOULD be aware of their target and wear at least 400 square inches of bright hunter orange on -- cwifcw rnfH their head, back arid chest. tuod The Utah hunting accident record has improved considerably during the past few years. In 1977, not one fatal accident occurred during the deer hunt. With everyones cooperation, we hope to get through another fatality-fre- e i .Vo-vh-- - year. lOiEmM TO MB EODDTOQg Objects To Method Of Firing Jean Layton The library is for the use of the public and should be administered by a board of qualified people.

Or do something just for kicks to a point. - OFFICIALS in the Davis School District think it was a few people who "just for kicks caused an estimated $20,000 damage at the E.M. Whitesides Elementary School in Layton last week. The culprits havent been found, but it would seem there is no other clear for their actions that destroyed windows in most classroom doors, typewriters, television sets, audio-visuequipment and created a general mess al ; . throughout the building. vandalism, Dr. Penrod says. Although damage figures at Whitesides-haven- t yet been finalized, initial reports placed it at more than $10,000. Less than a year ago, three boys vandalized Hannah Holbrook Elementary School in Bountiful to the tune of about $18,000. MUCH OF that damage went for replacement of about 20 doors at $150 or so each. Chalkboards were ruined, door signs destroyed and paint strewn on the floor, said Maintenance Supervisor Sharon Gardner. He reiterated a fact some may tend to forget. Not only does damaged material have to be replaced, but labor costs must be covered, averaging more than $10 an hour when benefits are considered. . AND WHILE the Whitesides incident would rank as one of the top, moneywise, in the district, it isnt a unique situation. According to Buildings and Grounds Director Dean Penrod, some form of vandalism occurs in the district every day, usually only resulting in breakage of a few windows. But those few windows can amount to what happened at Vae View Elementary School, also in Layton, a couple of weeks ago. A half dozen large windows amounted to a bill "well inexcessof $1,000. And it got "so bad at the armories adjacent to Bountiful and Central Davis junior high schools that crews have bricked in windows or will shortly to eliminate ease in throwing rocks at the armory windows, Dr. Penrod says. INDEED, THE armories weren't the lot of broken winonly buildings with a dows. Glass replacement comes to between $43,000 and $50,000 throughout the district, a good share of it related to AT WHITESIDES, 75 manhours were accumulated in trying to get the school back in shape. Of that total, about 40 hours were donated by PTA, teachers and Principal Lynn Stoddard. Some 35 hours were chalked up by the custodial staff. That adds up to nearly $800 just in labor costs. And Holbrook listed 149 And lest you tend to rest easy with that man-hour- s. figure, thinking the damaged-relate- d costs will be paid by the district, think again. One government official says the district dropped liability insurance for such damage because premiums were higher than damage incurred. That means all repairs come right out of the taxpayers pockets JUST WHY do people bother with van- dalism? According to Mr. Gardner, reasons vary. "Im sure the motives would vary. With Whitesides there was no rhyme or reason. In fact, thats the case I RESENT the inference of Earl J. Stephens, W.G. Emmett, J. Nielsen and others, that past library boards have been lacking in moral stan of 90 percent of the time. In that school, one room would be hit by damage to the door, TV and other equipment while an adjacent room would be skipped with the process repeated at the next room. "I HOPE people get aware of the problem, he says. I just talked to some people who were unaware that kind of thing takes place. It goes on more frequently than wed like to admit. And while the district has some surveillance equipriient, it isnt nearly enough, of- ficials concede. Currently the district has some mobile units that can be placed at a school with an alarm altering school officials who contact police. But few of the 60 schools can be covered at once. DR. JOHN S. White, assistant superintendent over buildings and grounds, says school officials overseeing the problem plan to visit facilities in a Salt Lake County district within the next few weeks. Dr. Penrod says several Salt Lake County districts have installed equipment more sophisticated than exists at present in Davis County but added that money is a big factor in how far a district can go. BUT HE added that in his opinion, Davis District has been fortunate in sustaining a lower amount of vandalism than some neighboring districts. And he adds that the police have been cooperative in surveillance and followup efforts as well as the juvenile courts in dealing with youths apprehended for school-relate- d vandalism. THE THRUST in dealing with such youths is to obtain restitution, says Garrett Watkins, supervising probation officer with the Farmington office, juvenile court. When a child is found guilty, we have to look at their ability to pay, he says. Were somewhat relentless. They may not have a job but we look to the parents and the parents may pay it back. Restitution is foremost in our minds. HE ADDS that while the judge has to look at the needs of the child, the juvenile division must view the broader picture. In the case of a child, for instance, he may be asked to pay back a token amount and put in a certain number of hours work at a school for repair and then later when hes employed maybe some of his wages will be garnisheed to pay for it. , Mr. Watkins says such measures can be' very therapeutic for the child. And restitution is ordered even in small cases where the dollar amount lost may be required in addition to a work detail. ITS THE taxpayers who pay the repair bills brought on by vandalism, he notes, forcing the juvenile office to look at how theyll (vandals) will pay it back. Im glad to see the school district is finally admitting there is a vandalism problem. I understand that a year ago some officials werent so willing to admit such a fact. AT LEAST it isnt as bad as elsewhere and one of the keys might have been mentioned by one official who says parents and others have been good at reporting such incidents. Lets put a lid on this thing before it gets out of hand. I have no reason to question the moral standards of Swapp, Arbuckle, and Shumway, but I dont believe dards. their standards would be superior to Evan Whitesides, Mr. Thomock, or other past members. I do object to the method used in firing Jean Layton Stacking the Board. . Golden C. Sill Layton, Utah Selection Process And Americana I have been concerned about the controversy over the library selection process, and specifically the book Americana. I obtained ex- cerpts from the book, as I four pages, because what I wished to find out for myself why this has happened. I had to stop after reading about was reading made me feel ill, and I wished I could erase it from my mind. 1 cannot see how any librarian could consider this book should have been purchased. IN PART, on Pages 2 and 9, the Objectives of Selection of the Davis County Library Board says: A book has educational value if it stimulates imagination, develops positive growth, enlarges experience or widens horizons for an individual. SELECTION of materials is based on the particular needs and interest of organizations and individuals and reflects community standards in Davis County. Many highly advertised novels may not be purchased, even when demand is high, if they fail to meet acceptable literary standards, the plot is trite, or the characters stereotyped. IT IS the Library policy to purchase those works of fiction which are well written and based on authentic human experience. It is the Librarys policy to exclude works of fiction which are cheap and sentimental as well as those which are solely sensational or erotic. I do not suggest to infringe on the freedom of anyone To read what they want. I do feel if they have a need to redd such material as is containkl in Americana they should purchase it themselves; I strongly object to my t$x money being used this way, which definitely is not-j- n keeping with Library policjr. INDIVIDUALS have the freedom to approach the Library Board and county of- ficials and make efforts to change the established policy if they object to its present form. This is a recourse we all enjoy when we are In disagreement with a public policy, law or ordinance.-I- n the meantime, we should abide by the existing policies or laws. Lillian S. Hinton Bountiful |
