Show Milfors Monitor JANUARY 19, 1996 NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE CENTURY FARM ~& RANCH APPLICATION Governor Leavitt's proposed FY 1997 state budget "This year's tax cut needs to be at least $185 million just to keep state government within the spending limit and Utah's high tax burden from getting higher," according to Howard Headlee, Legislative Director for the Utah Taxpayers Association. Utah's spending limitation law limits state government spending to a vombinatids of inflation, population and personal income factors. It was adopted seven years ago, after taxes were increased to support state government during the economic downturn of the mid-eighties. The law was meant to ensure that state government does not grow faster than the state fieconomy, and taxpayer's ability to pay. "Exceeding the spending cap means Utah's already high tax burden will be getting even Utah farmers and ranchers can now make application to have their agricultural operation designated a Century Farm or Ranch, said the chairman of the Utah Century Farm and Ranch Committee. C. busily accepting applications from the state’s farmers and ranchers for _ the coveted Century Farm and Ranch designation. He said with this year being the state’s centennial, many farms and ranches throughout Utah are expected to apply for and receive this honor. “Utah has been . the backbone of our state’s economy from the moment the pioneers first set sight on the Salt Lake Valley in 1847, and has continued to play a vital role in the social and economic fabric of the state,” Wallentine said. “Across this state, from the north to the south, from the east to west, farms and ranches have dotted the countryside, playing an important role in their communities, and now we want to honor these long-lasting , contributors to the heritage of Utah.” Wallentine said farmers and “ranchers who own operations that . | School Fund to.a generous 12.1% instead of 21.2%," according to Headlee.

If children don't feel safe, their self-defense ‘ mechanism usually prompts them to avoid, deny and rationalize -in that order. Lee says low level threat avoiding takes the form of being. sick, constantly watching television, or withdrawing in some other way. If children feel more threatened, it leads to denial of there bemg any problem or issue that needs to be confronted. The threat is so strong that it becomes too risky to even acknowledge that there is a problem. Avoiding is recognizing that there is a problem, but not dealing with it; denying is not acknowledging that a problem exists. Escalated threat leads to rationalization behavior children know to be wrong, but which they justify because they see parents, school or their situation generally as so threatening that they rationalize that it's really everyone else's fault that they are doing things wrong, he says. ; In a practical example, Lee says when children lie, they are really saying "I don't think I can trust you." This can become a vicious. cycle because parents’ first reaction is to respond in a way that further reduces the level of trust. Children are then more likely to avoid, deny and rationalize. Parents then respond with more behavior that makes children feel threatened and the cycle escalates and feeds on itself. What are common sources of threat?: se Criticism: we offer rather general approval to children _ statements such as "good job" or "way to go" but then’ ‘we give quite specific criticism with “look , at this messy handwriting, you didn't even take time to erase your mistakes." This tact tends to make criticism more believable than ye: ° ¢ ¢ * In general, parents mistakenly believe that it's the things they do for children that demonstrates “love, Lee says.
