Twenty dollars from each of us is giving pretty good returns on our money! View from DHS Sincerely Sharal Young Round-u- p Cyndy Talbot Director of the Community State Partnership program for the Utah Arts Council stated “When the by tlieir prophet Brigham Young to go forth and colonize the land of Deseret the first building he were called instructed them to build in these new settlements was the community social hall not a church or a school but the social hall He understood that a new com- munity would need the binding influence of coming together on a regular basis to dance sing experience dramatic productions share their talents and in the process allow the special items they produced as a community their quilts writings music architecture etc begin to define them as a new community Another event occurred last week recognizing the arts in our area when The Pahvant Valley Theater won the Community Excellence A ward in Cultural Your like and you tho know that the Utah Highway Patrol will be other locations in Juab County during the months The s Three ambulances from Tooele and one from Grantsville were called to an accident scene early Monday morning when a bus carrying 25 passengers crashed near Lake Point In all 20 passengers of the chartered from a Wendover transported to the Tooele Valley Medical Center Most passengers on the tour bus were from the Salt Lake City area Fortunately most of the injuries were not life threatening Tooele The Utah Attorney General's Office has appealed a ruling by Monticello 7th District Judge Lyle R Anderson who on March 20 dismissed felony charges of abuse or desecration of a dead human body against former Moab physician James Redd and his wife Jeanne of Blanding In court proceedings Anderson had determined the Redds intentionally dug up the grave of prehistoric Anasazi people without permission on Jan 6 1996 to collect artifacts The digging took place on state trust lands near Bluff But Anderson decided that the term “dead human body" in the state statute under which the Redds had been charged didn’t apply to prehistoric remains located outside of an established modem cemetery and thus the Redds were absolved of the crime The Call Kathy at the Chronicle Progress 0 football season pass and family pass may be offered this year to help cut some of the costs parents Call Millard or Delta High and ask if it is available those who want to pursue the matter Keith Griffiths at the School District said parents may write to the Utah High School Activity Association A Leamington Town did not have any candidates register for the mayoral position or two city council seats by the August 15 deadline Nancy Nielson of Leamington residents are not too concerned about the matter It is not uncommon for candidates to wait until just before the November election to register and there is little doubt the positions will be filled the said have never been a big fan of word games Most of the time try to get out of even riddle used to think it was the way my mind worked or rather didn't know it is because dislike riddles and refuse to concentrate on what is to a listening work Now said last time visited with my sister she had several riddles to share tried to get of listening but if you knew my sister you would know there is no way to escape is one of her riddles: There are three everyday words in the English language the other is ‘hungry’ What’s the that end with the letters ‘gry One word is ‘angry’ third word? She has spent weeks trying to discover the answer and has questioned everyone she knows After had spent more time on it than really wanted to decided there isn't an answer and somewhere along the line there has been a misunderstanding of the The out Here riddle those of you who enjoy word games decided to throw in a couple more and for of you who don’t just skip this part is a word with all five vowels in it? Answer: sequoia is one and the word facetious has all five vowels in order Facetiously has all the vowels including y and seems to be the best choice What word has five letters but is pronounced like one letter? The answer is: For those What ‘Q’ Milkrd County skies hTmr Over the past two years of writing astronomical articles the and using a “good" pair of binoculars has been mentioned often shop for a “good" pair of astronomical quality binoculars? Trczz 4 mention of obtaining asked is how do you Any pair of binoculars that happens to be lying around the house or used for matter what its size or quality-i- s adequate to begin sightseeing the heavens However some kinds of binoculars are much better than others for astronomy The are some guidelines to help you select an appropriate pair following Power or better known as magnification is important depending on how you plan to use the binoculars Anything above ten power magnification should not be as it would be very difficult to hold steady or focus Every binocular has a designation such as 7X35 or 0X50 The first number is the magnifying power it tells how many times larger an object will appear through the binoculars than without them The second number is the diameter or aperture of the front lenses (objective) expressed in millimeters There is 254 mm to one inch Beginners often assume that a high one This may be true for seeing power binocular will perform better than detail on the Moon the phases of Venus Jupiter's four bright satellites close double stars and certain types of objects However high power narrows the field of view typically 5° at 10X compared to 7 at 7X which makes finding objects at 10X more difficult than at 7X At a given power bigger objective lenses will give a brighter image Here you should binocular collects compromise the least since most sky objects are faint A twice as much light as a pair In addition the exit pupil now comes into play when dealing with aperture size and magnification Ideally the human eye in a dark sky location will maximize out to 7 mm or 5 mm for a person 50 years or older If you take a pair of 7X35 mm binoculars you will find that the exit pupil is 5 mm (35 divided by 7) A pair of 5X35 will yield an exit pupil of 7 mm (35 divided by 5) Subsequently a pair of 7X50 will then give a 7mm exit pupil Depending on your age you can seek the best exit pupil for your use in astronomical viewing Generally the best situation is a 7X50 or 10X70 for best results An important feature is the antireflection coatings on the optical surfaces Such coatings tint the lenses purple amber green or some other shade These coatings reduce the reflections off the glass surfaces and thereby maximize the clarity of the view and the amount of light transmitted to your eyes For astronomical use this feature is very important Things you should avoid when purchasing binoculars is those that have a center focusing knob or those that are “roof" prism types Porno prism types are far superior when compared with the roof type Cost is another factor But a good clue is to never pay a manufacturer’s "list price" for binoculars you can usually buy a pair for about half as much Generally binoculars range from about $50 to $500 or more Some excellent stargazing binoculars can be found in the $100 to $300 range Good quality new and used binoculars are available from yard sales and pawn shops to national catalogers and distributors While the focus of the search continues to be near the crash site in central Colorado Department of Defense officials are apparently searching in San Juan County for four missing bombs from a crashed AI0 Warthog military plane In the winter a pilot broke from formation during a practice bombing run in Arizona and disappeared from radar screens in the Four Comers area Wreckage of the plane was found several weeks later in central Colorado However four 500 pound bombs that were on the airplane have yet to be recovered The Saa Juaa Record All Duchesne County schools have been placed on tighter budgets when it comes to travel expenses and the district's motor pool has been significantly diminished By scaling back on the amount they subsidize schools for travel and by selling unnecessary cars the district should sec a savings of between $50000 to $70000 in their maintenance and operation budget Uiatah Basia Staadard business could SINK!
