They do not mention the dignity and respect that has been restored to the White House nor the respect leadership and dignity that has been radiated to the world Nor do they mention the success in Granada and the signals that were sent out to the world Nor do they mention the successes in Libya with I am so the strike against terrorism sick and tired of all of it You cannibalistic types ought to be ashamed of yourselves You are putting your own selfish interests above the welfare of I am sick and tired of our country what I am hearing and seeing from some of you news people and some of your politicians If the shoe fits wear it If it does not I am proud of you Hewel Howlett Former Kanosh resident You need to understand that there is a power greater than you that can restore you to sanity if you’ll let it And you need to be willing to draw upon that power Roughly put these are the first three tenants of And they work so call them At this point you are the one who needs the help Your daughter may come around later but right now the focus needs to be on you For your own benefit you need to learn to “Let Go” LETTING GO To let go doesn’t mean to stop caring It means I can’t do it for someone else To let go is not to cut myself off It is the realization that I can’t control another To let go is not to enable but to natural allow learning from consequences To let go is to admit powerlessness which means the outcome is not in my hands To let go is not to change or blame another It is to make the most of myself To let go is not to care for but to care about To let go is not to fix but to be supportive To let go is not to judge but to allow another to be a human being To let go is not to be in the middle but to arranging all the outcomes allow others to affect their destinies To let go is not to be protective It is to permit another to face reality To let go is not to deny but accept To let go is not to nag scold or argue but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it To let go is not to criticize and regulate anybody but to try to become what I dream I can be To let go is not to regret the past but to grow and live in the future To let go is to fear less and to love more Author Unknown CONFIDENTIALLY: Destiny is not a matter of chance It is a matter of choice Nutrition shorts by Dennis Hinkamp Information Writer Utah State University We hear so much about nutrition the news these days on breakthroughs it is easy to tune it ail out These are a few nutrition tidbits you might have missed More fortification on the way: The nation's current preoccupation with calcium is leading to some strange new products Milk which is already a good source of calcium is coming in calcium added versions Unlike the situation with breakfast cereals labeling standards prevent a product from being called “calcium fortified milk” It can however be called “milk with calcium added” On the other end of the fortification spectrum expect to see calcium fortified “Tab” this summer Calcium in but sodium out: People may want more calcium but they want less salt In response the food industry has started a new sodium labeling program Consumer Circulation Commercial am sick and tired of seeing and listening to some of our politicians and news media deliberately trying to destroy one of the greatest Presidents this great country of ours has ever had It reminds me of when used to brood and raise chickens There was a period of about 2 weeks time in a young chicks life when their wing and tail feathers grew so fast that it caused an itching so fierce that the chicks would sometimes pick at themselves until they drew blood Once blood was drawn the other chicks would chase and start picking at the wounded chick Imagine as the chick tried to get away from about 500 other chicks in a small room and the chick running around trying to get away from the others We called this the cannibalistic If period somebody did not rescue that small desperate wounded chick it would not be long until the cannibals would pick the chick to death In the lust for news by the news media and jockeying by the polticians to get their names in the news we are literally seeing the cannibalistic type that has a president destroying brought in 6 years under his leadership a country that was on the brink of financial disaster and our patriotism for our country at a very low ebb to where it is today with interest rates down inflation under control with our dollar buying more except for costs of insurance and government brought on lawyers Also our by the stock market is at all time highs and lower than in years unemployment The cannibalistic types do not mention Reagonomics anymore now that they find it working so well nor do they mention the swing back to patriotism Yes it took us 50 years to build to the mess of 1980 and it will take a lot more years to work our way out but we do have a good foundation built These same people do not mention the freedom of the free world and burden we carry for the of responsibility world on our backs All they mention is the cost I am Newel Howlett President of Foods employ about 200 people in our small company delegate the I A food with “sodium free” on the label must contain five milligrams sodium or less per serving “very low sodium” means 35 mgs or less per serving “low sodium” means 140 mgs or less per serving and the term “reduced sodium" can only be used if the usual levels of sodium have been reduced by 75 percent or more The terms “no salt added” or similar words can only be used if three conditions are met 1) no salt is added during processing 2) the food in question is normally processed with salt and 3) sodium content is shown on the label (mgs) of Bubble your troubles away: there are several adverAlthough tisements for products designed to

inserted in last week’s Shoppers” paper Often when the merchants order special sale items the orders arrive or the amount ordered is complete short On the other hand the order arrives complete and very little is sold the merchant absorbs the costs or any waste We as a chamber appreciate you shopping at home When you shop at home it increases our local tax base it employs local people and the benefits the entire are visible throughout community Further your frustration of not being able to obtain a sale item when you I hope that want it is understandable in the future you will be kind enough to ask for a raincheck or purchase a substitute whenever possible Your support and consideration will be appreciated Jean Smith Exec Sec Delta Area Chamber of Commerce Love that home town girl I hope the firing of the best announcer on our local radio station concerns a lot of KNAK listeners Kathy (your great awakening) Farnsworth was in my opinion the most talented announcer including the Manager Mike Halloran the station had and now Mr Halloran sees fit to fire her for no apparent reason When Mr Halloran saw fit to fire Kathy he took away the one bright spot on the station I for one would be very interested in knowing the reason or reasons he gave Kathy for her being fired After listening to the quality of Kathy’s announcing ability versus that of Mr Hallorans it is quite obviously professional jealousy I have known Kathy and her family for a long time and there are no more dedicated people to their jobs and their community than they are Kathy was doing a great job as announcer and for the picking up advertisements station think Mr Halloran made a very big mistake when he fired Kathy All of you KNAK listeners that feel the same way as I do please call the station manager and let him kow just how you feel and let’s get our home town girl back on the radio Wanda Webb Someone that enjoyed waking up to Kathy's cheery voice and bright sense of humor Middle America Search for “Middle America” Reunion by Bob Thomas Oh I’m not much for reunions when was a lot younger family reunions down on Uncle Clarence and Aunt Mary’s farm in Sandy Valley Penna used to be fun but never had a memorable time at a high school or college reunion kept bumping into guys who claimed they made their first million dollars by the time they were 30 or girls who went west and married Hollywood ecutives They all had a knack for makwas leading a dull and ing me think unproductive life For those and other reasons didn’t get too excited when news caught up with me on the road that the USS Bayfield was having its (first) 40th anniversary reunion in San Francisco in August of '84 First of all somebody had his dates mixed up: the ship was commissioned in September of 1943 know was on her that day in Brooklyn’s Atlantic Shipyards I stayed on her for two full years and made one friendship during that time that has survived all of the following years Still that wasn’t enough to make me chomp at the bit and start thinking about six days with a bunch of war strangers Hell I’ve spent of years trying to forget the silliness of armed conflict Normandy France Iwo Jima and Southern Okinawa may well deserve a place in history books but that doesn’t mean I have to spend any part of the rest of those days (My my life favorite memory of the war is three in Honolulu or days of “R&R” maybe that little Welsh girl in Cardiff) M G Wamsley was the contact for the reunion wrote him and said didn’t think I’d be in that part of the world the following August but I’d do whatever I could to help He sent me names and last known addresses of 20 crew members “Get in original touch” he wrote back “and urge ’em to attend” I found eight of them All leading “Middle American" lives Herb Damon

basement of his home He was married to the same woman for 35 years They had two children (both divorced) and six grandchildren Herb said he was definitely going to make the reunion (He didn't) Dick

today on five acres in Vancouver Wash He has a horse and a boat and he fishes and hunts and builds beautiful furniture He didn’t make the reunion either Matt Jarmuz lives in Chicago in the very same house he was born He’s 66 a retired widower He was a railroad machinist for 33 years He was a gunner’s mate on the Bayfield He attended the reunion because as he told me later "I didn’t have anything else to do that week o( any ohpr that malter” Malt Jarmuz is a lonely man He misses his wife They never had children Jack Hockgeiger wrote me from Mobile Ala He was undergoing treatment for alcoholism He was a quartermaster A funny guy he could make you laugh when you felt least like doing that He showed up for the gathering Stayed drunk for six heard His wife answered my days last letter to him He had left her in California driven back to a lakeside community in Wisconsin where he was born One night shortly thereafter he failed to come out of a drunken stupor She had gone back for the cremation She wrote me that Jack had always said wanted his last two dollars and his liver to go at the same moment” red Garbus also a radarman has continued the operation of the family farm in upstate New York
