'WfJMs m rr Free Fishing Day in photo by Kate Hellenbrand Brown at the Kid’s Blad shows off his winning Kanosh Canyon Mike Free Fishing Day No Fish Story Kate Hellenbrand Saturday June 6th w as Utah's Free 30 Fishing Day and approximately young Millard County anglers headed up Kanosh Canyon to Adelaide Campground to cast their poles into beautiful Com Creek during the Fillmore Ranger District's 4th Annual Free Kid’s Fishing Derby Dana Nall Forester with the Forest Service w as host for the day with help from Scon a and Murice Brown Com Creek rchabilnators After registering the kids (ages 14 and under) spread out to try to catch the biggest fish Their parents went along to help At Noon the fish were measured and weighed the kids took part in several contests and packets prizes and aw ards were presented old Kanosh resiMike Blad dent took the honors for the Biggest Fish for the third year in a row He won two pound Brown trout with a caught w ith cricket bait Last year Blad also won the State Championship and is hoping to do the same this year Admitting that the Com Creek area is his “backs ard” Blad sull had some solid lips for aspiring anglers “You've got to fish upstream” he said “so the water dixisn’t get all muddy Big Browns are hard to catch they 're smart You’ve got to outsmart them" Blad says he doesn't have any secret spots his favorite bait is crickets (plentiful this time of year) and worms He proudly admits he has caught a Brown under the bridge and that his favorite fish is Catfish especially deep fried Blad won four tickets to Waiting For Perot A very strange movement is afoot in our country And I'm excited for the first time in many years about the Presidential contest This year I feel that I as an American have Rather than the two party a real choice candidates there system offering is also an undeclared outsider knocking at the voter's door And this gives me great hope And obviously I'm not alone in my feelAmeriings It appears that a large number of can voters are fed up with the perpetual choice of the lesser of two evils (You may have gathered that m not a party person as in political party I’m the sole member of my own party The American White Woman party remember?) I strongly believe that it is my duty to vote And I always have I believe that if you don't vote you have lost your right to criticize Our freedoms are delicate and need to be exercised Bull also believe the entire system of the Electoral College is flawed and must be eradicated I look forward to the day when my vote really dix:s count - on its own as will yours and yours and yours (More about this later) have proudly marched into the Nevertheless when voting time comes around voting txxith and struggled w ith the two choices Very often they have seemed more alike than different Yet had to make my voice heard and for lx long I fell forced to cast a protest vote When lived in larger slates more parties were represented - so I would vote a straight Communist ticket Gasp!! What!?! Communist? Yup Communist Is this a great country or what? In New York City and Los Angeles cities called home for years there are a lot of Jewish immigrants And many of those Jews come from Eastern Europe w here the ideology of Communism remains pure (Or at least it did) These people are powerful and the Communist Party is a real force on the East and West coasts But knew there wasn’t a snow ball’s chance in the Sahara thai the Communists would ever lake over the White House socasting my vote there was a perfect protest vote It was the only way I could let someone know I was not happy with the choices I'd Ken given This year it looks like won’t have to vote for the Communist Party (though I doubt I could they aren’t on the ballot in Utah not enough Jews) And it looks like there arc a lot of Americans who w ill be casting protest votes right along with me - but for a billionaire Texan with no hair This year it lixiks like all of those people w ho have held their dissatisfaction in their hearts are going to finally get a chance to make their frustrations known Rather than choose between George Bush a President who is a complete embarrassment as far as I’m concerned or Bill Clinton a candidate I wouldn’t elect a man who's come there is a third choice H Ross Perot to a City Council scat from nowhere to lead in the polls And he hasn’t said anything Think of it here’s a man who’s leading in the polls and he hasn't said anything that journalists can get a hold of What dixrs that say about the public’s disdain for the tw o declared candidates who have thus far captured all the front page articles? But wonder Do we need an arrogant billionaire Texan businessman at the helm of this country? What will this say to thcrcst of the world about America's stale of mind? And where will such a man lead us? Or is Perot the perfect reflection of our culture? Is he the result of all of those episodes of Dallas and Dynasty and Buy Real Estate with No Money Down seminars we sec late at night? Maybe We won't know much more until he begins to speak I'm waiting And I’m hoping that what he says will substantiate the support he’s already receiving hope he has some answers Otherwise I’ll have tocast another protest vote this year for perpetual Presidential candidate Pat Paulson and running mate Tiny Tim Now that's truly scary Where is that Communist Party when I need it? Guest Editorial Why Small Papers Need To Print Real News by Jeannie Hunt A citizen’s “right to know" about their government dix:sn’t slop at the border of a small town Many elected officials in rural areas conduct business in virtual secrecy because few weekly ne wspaper have cither the time or courage to cover the meetings The police and courts answer to no one and public money is spent to help private business with little or no scrutiny If a weekly paper is going to serve its public it must contain real news People want it and are willing to pay for it Our paper sells briskly and has no shortage of advertisers No doubt printing hard news in a weekly takes courage We don't have the luxury of anonymity that those at Big City papers can have Elected officials who make questionable decisions people involved in drunk driving accidents or those involved in public lawsuits still live next dixir to you go to church or stand in line with you at the Post Office after the paper comes out You could be writing about an advertiser neighbor friend or worse yet a relative That’s why in some small papers prom queens are front page news and there’s nothing about a lixal council mcmKr who just resigned after a blowout at the City's last meeting Because we live in America we have the right to print the news or just the “fluff and stuff” We sometimes forget that a responsibility accompanies the rights we often lake for granted Usually Big City papers carry the burden of promoting the first amendment honest and intelligent government open meeting laws etc and we assume those are only Big city problems Not so During the last year the County Attorney has Ken arrested for his second DUI accused of malicious prosecutions drove on a suspended drivers license for two years and has thrown at least two public temper tantrums (not counting the time he threw a chair at a county commissioner) The County School board and city council have broken (and the city continues to break) the Utah open meetings laws And in the “believe” it or “not" department the city actually hired an engineer who told them he could build a 400 Exit suspension bridge for car traffic for only $30000 (Of course after King hired the engineer rcvisd his figure up but can't give the council a final price) The County Commission gave themselves a secret raise in a secret meeting and one commissioner demanded that the new county clerk keep quiet They have openly thumbed their noses at the open meetings laws holding illegally called regular executiveand emergency meetings temporarily rescinded all county employee pay raises as retaliation for complaints lodged against them blatantly defied state budget and truth in taxation laws and the list goes on Although embarrassing to the people of Kane County they have stood by the paper as we have exposed the offenses There has Ken only one minor threat to pull advertising and several times this year we have sold out at the newsstand Why? Because people want to know where their government is leading them Any government can lead its people astray if it’s business is done in secret and w hat’s the difference Klwecn a meeting held in secret and one held openly that no one covers? Nothing Wherever there is power there must K a system of checks and balances Weekly papers that only print “fluff and stuff are insulting to readers People aren't stupid they w ant to know the truth and they have “a right to know" Papers that throw their responsibilities out the w indow also throw readers and advertisers out and who can afford to do that? At our newspaper we also print fluff because it’s important too And we pul our prom queens on the front page right next to the story about our county attorney’s DUI (Editor’s Note: Jeannie Hunt is stafT reporter for the Southern Utah News lixated in Kane Count) - Utah Kane County (1991 recipient of the Society of Professional Journalists Black Hole A ward) has a population of 5000 and covers over 4000 square miles The Southern Utah News is a weekly newspaper and with subscription and newsstand selLs 1500 papers a week) WEATHER Precip tr Fillmore |
