From what I undcr- stand Kip Kinkel in Oregon as well as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in Colorado had come to the attention of both school officials and law enforcement In both cases these students received special attention (they had parents who cared and could afford to pay for it) such as therapy medication and participation in remedial programs Kip's parents supposedly even asked to have him placed in juvenile detention after he was expelled from school for bringing a gun just shortly before his rampage They were told that was not possible unless he did something "serious” Well he finally did and it cost several students and his parents their lives The point I am trying to make is that identifying "troubled youth” is all good and well but that is not wheie the problems seems to be Most troubled kids exhibiting the “signs” OnfeawMrtfflftorff evening you have a lovers' quarrel or a spouse spat In a makeup effort you buy a bouquet of roses and send a note with them: Jeff McMurdie Doug Henke Keith "My beloved to and Dave Burton deserve a make amends for lot of credit We worked with many gov- last night I am Grant-Dav- - around and thus Sardine Canyon was named fra sardine cans Let us speculate on other possibilities: (1) Travelers who failed to negotiate a sharp curve crashed down to the bottom of the canyon and were mashed as flat as a can of sardines (2) A newly married couple camped there on their honeymoon (another idiotic word) Having nothing better to do they chiseled their names into a large rock Their names were Elmer and Thelmer Sardine Others mistook it fra a road identification sign (3) Travelers said "Whoever planned this road must have had the brains of a sardine!"

There is a Sardine Canyon It is the first canyon south of Wellsville Canyon A long time ago it was one of the major routes into Cache Valley Most people today never knew of it nor heard the name except as it is misapplied to Wellsville Canyon Wellsville Canyon had long been one of the major routes Then a state engi- neer who ate mustard on garlic for breakfast devised the plan to abandon the Wellsville Canyon route and construct the Sardine Canyon route From the Dry Lake area of the present highway you can see remnants of the hillside Sardine route on die north-facin- g where there is little sunshine to melt snow and ice Although it did have southern exposure farther east overall it was a dangerous route especially in winter How did Sardine Canyon get such an unlikely name? My friend Lloyd Brad- mous and I heard comments from numerous runners of appreciation for those who cheered them on and comments about the beauty of the valley and shaw whose family owned property the people here Many spectators comthere remembers reading that campers mented how entertaining it was to watch who at nearby springs ate sara marathon and many runners realized dinesstopped and left the sardine cans lying goals that had been set many years ago There was much mote than an economic impact from this marathon as many people had an opportunity to improve themselves both physically and mentally It impacted a lot of lives and as runners we thank all of you for supporting this marathon US 524-593- Senate Washington DC 20510 (202) Letters concerning candklates naming In the Oct 5 primary election will be accepted until Thursday Sept 30 at 5 pm Sunday's edition Oct 3 will include the last election Mara before the primary Utah office: 8402 Federal Build-bi- g 125 S State SL Salt Lake City UT 0 84138 (801) AHO US SENATE-I40 Larry Craig Republican — SD-- 224-525’ decide how the sardine name came to be As president of the nonprofit educational Wellsville Mountain Corporation it is my sworn duty to protect the inter- ests of the mountain including its canyons as best as I can This includes preserving its proper names Wellsville Wellsville Mountain and Wellsville Canyon were named in honor of one of Utah's most illustrious and deserving pioneer citizens Daniel Han-mWells (1814-189er 1) Wells was a counselor to Brigham Young in the presidency of the LDS Church After President Young’s death in 1877 he was counselor to tire church's Council of Twelve Apostles Twice he was president of the church’s European missions In the last three years of his life he was the first presi 1776 SENATE4JTAH Sen Robert Bennett Republican — US Senate Washington DC 20510 224-544- Election letters deadline paper boy he christened the canyon “Sardine” With that many choices you can 1 524-438- D B Room 3 Washington DC 20510 (202) 2 Idaho office: 303 N 8th Street Room 338 Boise ID 83703 (208) 334- - 224-614- G-5- 52 83702 (208) US HOUSE-UTA- 334-156- 0 H James V Hansen Republican — Represents 1st Congressional District which Includes Cache County Washington office: 2466 Rayburn Building US House of Representatives Washington DC 20515 3 Utah office: 1017 Federal (202) Building 324 25th SL Ogden UT 84401 (801) 6255677 or 3938362 225-045- in m (SoertzMiy?) -- ffcss) rtteyl - Editorial policy if -- Krpfbd Him theater of seven ador37 children father the of and wives ing first goverUtah's the of state including nor Heber M Wells and both foster of LDS Presifather and father-in-la- w dent Heber J Grant He was commanding general of the reactivated Nauvoo Legion also known as the Utah Territorial Militia As such he fought Indian wan and in 1837-3- 8 in the Echo Canyon War kept a federal army — known as Buchanan's Blunder — from entering Utah until a peaceful settlement could be reached In 1838-3- 9 when the Mormons were driven from their homes in the slave state of Missouri under an extermination order by the mass murderer Governor Lilbum W Boggs they fled to Illinois There on the eastern bank of the Mississippi they found refuge in die small village of Commerce which they soon developed into the city of Nauvoo At 20 years of age Mr Wells was die justice of the peace in Commerce and a major land owner He had arrived there five years earlier from Trenton NY with a brief stop in Ohio He befriended the Mormons sold land to them on favorable terms including the land on which they built their Nauvoo Temple He became an admirer of the Prophet Joseph Smith Brigham Young and other church leaden In 1846 two years after Joseph and Hyrum Smith’s murder in Carthage Jail Wells joined the church fought a battle against the mobs as the Mormons left Nauvoo then joined them on their trek to Utah "Bring me men to match my moun" said tains poet Sam Foss Daniel Hanmer Wells was indeed such a man Wells was the husband ' Jotin Stewart is a longtime River Heights resident Hi column appears on the Opinion page every other Wednesday hxnWy pb yeo ) ( drI I S j ClBNiyiangP I A HOUSE-IDAH- O Mike Simpson Republican — Represents 2nd Congressional District which Includes Franklin County 437 Cannon House Office Building Washington DC 20515-120- 2 (202) 2255531 Idaho office: 304 N 8th Room 325 Boise ID 83702 (208)334-195- 3 UTAH SENATE To cal your Utah senator at the Senate: (801)5351035 To write your senator at the Senate: The Honorable John Doe Utah State Senator Room 319 State Capitol Salt Lake City UT84114 Herald Journal If S'?
