Matthews explained that this amount will come from interest earned on the money in the escrow account. The council approved paying for the work. Mayor Hansen expressed concern that after two years and $56,000 spent, the project did not look very far along. Much of that has gone for loan and architect fees to get the project underway. The council approved hiring Blake Madsen and Cliff Keller full time and discussed the need to improve sidewalks.

After all the calendar already says April. That means school will be out next month. Summer months mean a lot of extra work for people: gardens need to be planted and cared for; lawns need to be mowed; houses and property need to be repaired and maintained. Farmers will need to get crops planted, irrigated, weeded and harvested. Many of those with livestock already have this years new crop on the ground. All those new babies mean more to feed, herd, and care for. A short growing season compresses all that activity into a few busy months. On the other hand kids out of school have an abundance of time. Time which can be spent positively, or time to get into trouble. Many of these kids will be looking for work. Those who are successful at finding jobs will have a productive summer. Those who are not, will no doubt find themselves bored and roaming the streets looking for "something to do." Why not get all this youthful energy put to beneficial use? Why not enlist our youth to help out with all the summer work which needs to be done? Thats what The Pyramid thought when we decided to provide advertising to potential employers to help them find the summer help they need, and at the same time offer youth an opportunity for a productive summer. Our youth are our greatest resource. By investing in them, we are investing in the future. Please help us keep them busy this summer. no-co- by st Letters Tragedy for Fountain Green Dear Editor: I was dismayed to learn that the North Sanpete School bond election did not pass. It is sad to see that the people in North Sanpete are so apathetic that only a little over 1400 people turned out to vote. The fact still remains that Moroni needs a new school. It cannot be denied or ignored. Their school burned down and they cant go on forever holding school in a gymnasium. They will get their school bond or no bond. The sad fact is that Fountain Green is also in desperate need of a new school. I lived in Fountain Green for 15 years. They needed a new school then and they need it now as more and more people move into town. It is not a good idea to bus Fountain Green children to Moroni. They deserve to receive elementary education in Fountain Green. There are excellent teachers there with an excellent teaching system. It would be a shame to deprive future students of the opportunity of going to school in their own town. The land next to the present school was purchased years ago and Fountain Green was supposed to get a school at the same time as Spring City. Look who got the new school. Fountain Green has always been the last on the list. I hope that they havent been completely cut from the list. Moroni will get a new school because of a tragedy. It will be a tragedy if Fountain Green doesnt get a school. Susan D.
