Perhaps what most disturbs me is thinking how little we human beings we need such gory and graphic details have progressed over the centuries And how anyone can elect to witness a killing is beyond my comprehension Park be a bake sale and a traditional small town carnival with food booths and games Displays and demonstrations of Pioneer crafts will be on hand Some demonstrations include spinning

Director of Gordon L Crabtree Finance for the state of Utah has recently sent a letter to newspapers in the state criticing me for not identifying where cuts should be made if the are passed in the tax initiatives November election Mr Crabtree shares with Governor Bangerter a strange view of how government is supposed to work They seem to think that whenever taxes are to be raised they know just how to do it and the people don’t need to be consulted But when taxes are to be cut the people have a responsibility to tell them where the cuts are to be made The fact of the matter is the voters of the state elect officials to run the government We pay them what some would consider to be outrageous salaries and we expect them to do their jobs If the tax initiatives pass and 6 percent needs to be cut from state and local revenues we expect our officials to do the job If they can’t-- as apparently Mr Crabtree we need to elect and appoint some who can Mr Crabtree is dead certain about how much will be cut from tax revenues if the initiatives pass Of course he uses who compiled by those figures calculated the 1987 tax increase at $157 million dollars That same tax increase is now approaching $310 million dollars Mr Crabtree Director of Finance also quotes other figures designed no doubt to add authority to his argument He states the combined budgets of Natural Resources Agriculture and Development total $54 Community million The Appropriations from the Office of the Report Legislative Fiscal Analyst says the combined budgets are $1767 million Crabtree says the Public Education budget is $692 million the report says $1 billion He says Higher Education is $260 million the report says $337 million He says Social Services is $101 million the report says $268 million is a I am sure that Mr Crabtree dedicated public servant but as Director of Finance his use of figures gives new meaning to the old saying “Close enough for government work” Over one hundred thousand Utahns have signed petitions to put the itiatives on the ballot This may not seem to Mr Crabtree like much of a demand for lower taxes when he considers the calls from the special interests for higher taxes but it seems like a lot to me Greg Beesley Chairman Tax Limitation Coalition of Utah Schedule of the District Sanitarian This will serve as notice that the District Sanitarian Bruce Hall out of Nephi

gallons of water in a single day Delta Area By Reed Date June Wed 8 Thu 9 Fri 10 Sat II Sun 12 Mon 13 Tues 14 Jeffery by Jane Beckwith foreiga correspondent I haven’t been in the mood to write for almost a month abopt anything I’ve!' had adventures but for some reason writing about them made me uncomfortable I figured it was because I was at that awkward stage of my stay: wanting to come home but also wanting to stay here Lots of things have become very pleasant The weather is wonderful I sleep with all the windows open and a balmy sea breeze rushes through all night My classes are better Since April I only teach the students who are in English “majoring” I’m getting spoiled living in a city with a population of over a million I can find food from every place India and of course Japan The McDonald’s here even seems better thaa the ones in the States but that is of probably like the phenomenon eating while camping out But I’m tired of children pointing or staring crying because they see me It’s difficult being the minority “White supremacy” is really ugly and demeaning no matter which side of it you’re on And in a way school here is really tiring If I ask a student a question he or she sometimes waits for 30 seconds to answer So I miss American students well SOME American students When I think of coming back to a school where students can be good students but sometimes choose to be difficult where the possibility of drugs alcohol swearing lazy thinking are all constantly there I think bow easy it is to teach here As an aside one of my students here got in trouble so serious her mother had to come to school This is what happened: Tomoko lives within two kilometers of the school and thus is forbidden to ride a bicycle to school Her friend Akimi lives outside of the limit so she may ride a bike Naturally they wanted to come to school together so Tomoko borrowed a helmet from Akimi’s sister and rode to school Just two days On the second day all of the bikes about 800 were inspected by the teachers and hers lacked an official sticker The teachers tracked her down scolded her severely confiscated her bicycle and demanded that her mother come to school with her on the following day When I think of the relatively significant infraction of the rule the energy it took to check all 800 bikes the embarrassment Tomoko felt for bebawled out ing scolded— probably fact that would be a better term-ther mother had to come to school-all of those things seem so small in relation to the outrageous behavior American teachers sometimes tolerate I don’t look forward to wrestling with really difficult school problems again i i i Fucbu-ch- To further illustrate this “yesno” kind of struggle going on I’ll tell you two things that happened to me yesterday First my supervisor has been helping me get my tickets for the return Hiroshima 7435 JAPAN the one dealing with the pipsqueak because my Japanese only extends to “ipai baka” and even that just means “many fools” This guy although just a worker following the rules had my hackles way up way up They haven’t really smoothed down yet But here’s the flip side of the coin I have been asking the students to find sauce me a recipe for okonomiyaki because once I get home I don’t think I’ll be able to buy it in town And one student’s mother came to school just when I was trying to shake off round thirteen with the bozo downstairs She too was shaking to talk with me who speak English scare (People Japanese who would like to speak English to death) She gave me a present of a drink that Japanese people like and a recipe for yakiniku sauce which she made for me last week She had done a lot of research to find the right words including “sesame seeds” “toast” “grate” “garlic” She was so kind such a nice woman to be shaking like a leaf but still willing to take time from her busy day to get dressed up and come to school to talk with me But her trump card was incredible She wrote a letter to the president of the biggest okonomiyaki sauce maker in Hiroshima and he wrote back giving her the company’s secret recipe She promised that I was going back to America soon and would be the only person to ever see the recipe! Can you believe it? There it was hand written in the percentages of ingreJapanese dients out to the side The letter was signed and stamped with the man’s personal “honko” or seal I was dumbfounded I haven’t got the recipe in my hands right now Mrs Ishii wants to try it out first to see if it is possible to make then she will translate it and give it to me She said her daughter is shy but she isn’t yet all the time her hands were trembling and her smile twitched Both Mrs Ishii and ’he accountant downstaiis are nervous to talk with me a native speaker of Lnglish Maybe I was just hard on the accountant couldn’t do because lie was saying something I wanted o do He was making my life miserable and she was making it easier If that’s true then I’m a spoiled brat the exact impression much of the world has about Americans: we throw a tantrum if we don’t get our own way The problem is the same one I mentioned at the first of the letter There is a contradiction that I can’t quite figure out It’s lik hearing “yes” and “no” at the sanT time flight home In January the man over my supervisor told all of the American English Teachers that they would have to reserve their own tickets and then the Board of Education would pay for them if we submitted a letter stating our I did that but the money itinerary wasn’t coming through so I asked my supervisor to help me He called the Board of Education and talked with the English Department but the person in charge knew nothing and referred him to the Financial section (It’s a little disheartening that the person in charge of me knows nothing about something as important as returning home) But the real blow came from the man in charge of finances He said if my supervisor wanted me to have a ticket home he should buy me one because Japanese schools do not pay for teachers to travel to America and they wouldn’t pay for me He ended the conversation by telling my supervisor not to call him back! Mr T my supervisor went to the financial office at this school and exThe man in plained the problem charge of finances here is new He just began working at this school in April He goes sort of crazy when I go in the room laughing shaking losing things He acts about 13 years old Mr T says it’s because he isn’t used to foreigners It’s possible he is just a twerp America doesn’t have a corner on the market His orders went like this: I could have a ticket to San Francisco and only San Francisco and he had to buy it for me! (But I had already made the And I had planned to reservation spend a little time with friends in Honolulu) He said if I planned to go I would not be eligible to to Honolulu receive money And he must buy the could trade it in if the ticket then travel agents would allow that (I restated that I already had my reservations and put a deposit of Y 10000 down) This next part was the final straw however I have 15 days of paid holiday according to my contract and I have been saving them like a miser so that I could come home early and begin into the world before Delta have only used High’s doors opened five days so I felt I could safely come home right after school ends here July 20 But this kid says I have to live in Japan until August 31 Or I have to vacation in Japan He is so full of it all the English words I was sputtering my grandmother taught me for just such occasions The pity was that Mr T was really The County Agent Too late by Larry Campbell Millard County USU Extension Agent “Hi Doc Fine I’ve got a cow down Don’t think she’s going to make it Can you come over and see what you can do? Thanks I’ll see you in a few minutes” As Doc arrives he finds said cow unable to stand listless and unaware the world around her “What’s a matter Doc? Will she make it?” Doc grabs a bottle and puts an IV in it He then inserts the needle into her jugular vein and waits until the bottle slowly empties In a few moments the cow’s eyes become more attentive Soon she’s able to stand and looks happy as ever “Thanks Doc you saved her” As Doc drives off you comment to your wife “Boy he is really good Don’t know what we’d do without of him” Dear John Letters Adult children of alcoholics In the past I’ve talked about the problems that seem to occur with great frequency among children who are raised WMm Jane Beckwith Honmachi 304 IS t h Fillmore Area By Jay T Rogers Precp He sAib lie HAS He's GLAb A Polwr if Of Iasi The problem is you already have Waiting until the last minute to call the vet is a temporary approach to herd health At best he’ll save a few But often he’ll be too late In this case the cow had milk fever It could have been prevented by a high in an alcoholic home And not only are the problems evident in the childhood years but they seem to be carried over into the adult years where the connection to the early years is sometimes overlooked Last year a study was which identified five completed categories of problems that tend to of develop among adult childien alcoholics And when you consider that there are millions who fall into that category it becomes very clear that we are all affected directly or indirectly Adults raised in alcoholic homes: had more problems interpersonally 2 had more family problems with divorce and rates higher premature parental and sibling death 3 and reported more emotional psychiatric problems 4 experienced more physical and sexual abuse as children 5 more frequently married alcoholics Int J Addiction 21 (2):21 11 986 Dear John: As a Black alcoholic I am well aware of the problems of alcohol and drug abuse among Blacks And I am also aware of the differences between Blacks and VI hites It seems to me that more Blacks than W hites have problems with alcohol and we’re not doing a whole lot to try to deal with this issue Unless we do something I’m sure that things wilt get worse in all areas W e need to raise the awareness May be your column will help Inequitable Convolution 'Of 'I F oo you MAi llf't) tisn ! MRF boe Mb lb el MX- phosphorus diet prior to calving Many of our pioblems could be picked up solved or prevented by a routine herd check from your vet If you’ll use him right he’ll not only save you money he’ll make you some Dear IC Problems with alcohol and drugs are causing problems in all areas of society but Blacks seem to have an inordinate amount of problems with them Some of the reasons for this development might include environment training social expectations and racial Whatever the reasons major problems have developed According to the Alcohol Health & Research World the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse among Blacks cause substantial problems Blacks experience higher rales of cancer of the cervix esophagus larynx pancreas piostate and stomach Higher mortality rates ate common resulting from several related problems Heart disease is 20 percent higher for black males and 51 percent higher for black females when compared with their White Diabetes is 33 percent counterparts higher and homicides are almost six times higher Infant mortality rates are almost twice as high Since it appears that there is a direct correlation between the development of these problems and alcohol and drug use one solution would be to teach and educate in an effort to prevent the problems in the first place Unfortunately people are slow to change even when it’s in their best inteiest to do so In any event I think it’s important to realize that we’re all in this together that when one segment of society is hurting society as a whole will sufler And right now thete’s a lot of people hurting |
