Especially if you have gone the rounds recent- write them down. Someone ly over whether or not may just remember what you Taylorsville Bennion can said and try to hold you to your promise. With that thought in mind in the newsroom, we decided it would safer to make New Years resolutions for others. With 1995 quickly coming to a close, we have taken time to review some of the big stories that have crossed the news desk this year. Knowing that history repeats itself, and knowing that 1996, an election year, might be fraught with for would be public servants, (at their wages, isnt that an oxymoron?) weve decided to offer a few suggestions of things to avoid to keep from becoming a notorious news maker for the 1995s infamous news makers have money. We believe they should make a resolution to take boxing lessons at the new county owned Marv Jenson Fitness Center, Newt Gingrich should resolve to resign. Dennis Rodman should resolve to find a new hairdresser. O.J. Simpson should resolve to search every golf course in tabloids in each others the Caribbean for the real arms. We at the Clipper hope killer. And pigs should fly. Charles and Diana should you can make resolutions resolve to end up in the you can actually keep.

The most recent example is the love triangle of Enid, Joe and Power. It seems that Enids love for power was greater than her love for Joe and as soon as power started to walk away, Enid unceremoniously dumped Joe. A good New Years resolution for Joe would be to marry next time for more money. Oh, and it wouldnt hurt to add to your list the universal take off 10 pounds. Senator Bob Packwood had a bad year in 1995. This was the year that sexual harassment finally became Mr. unfashionable. Packwood should make a resolution to keep his hands in pockets, his own pockets, at all times. Clinton has had another controversial year in office, and out of his office. We hope his resolution will be to not seek office again. But we Subscription rate: 504 per copy variety of programs. While some of her ideas may be good, she has thus far had a hard time verbalizing those ideas in clear terms. Our resolution for Callaghan would be to put the thought before the court. At the other end of the spectrum, the Davis County commission seemingly has no reservations on the amount of money it spends on its programs. Take for example the salaries of the county golf pros. When Commissioner Carol Paige suggested those salaries be $104,000, her idea was summarily dismissed in favor of at least double that amount. ; . We believe Commissioner Paige should make a resolution to take the correspondence course to become a golf pro. Organizing Olympic Committee Chairman Tom Welch recently complained that his reportedly $300,000 annual salary was a paltry sum. Wed like Mr. Welch to make a resolution to study Utah economics so he would realize that everyone in the state works for less money than they could earn for the same job elsewhere, well, maybe not the Davis County golf pros.

Bountiful City has commissioned a survey to determine support for Bountiful Boulevard Extension as proposed. This survey will be conducted before citizens are allowed to hear both sides of the issue on Wednesday, January 3, 1996, at Bountiful High School, at 7:00 p.m. Ask Yourself: Do you really want a state controlled major commuter route along the East Bench? Do you support a road that does not make economic sense under state criteria? Do you know the extension crosses the fault line when its being sold as a second access in case of an earthquake? Did you know that Bountiful Boulevard will not lessen congestion but probably increase it? Did you know studies say there are no time savings to Salt Lake via Bountiful Boulevard?
