She said she believes her work has made a difference in how the issue is viewed in the state. Turning her topic to "Why Be a Democrat?", Graham discussed dis-cussed the "Republican wave" that hit the nation, and Utah, in 1994. Salt Lake County was particularly par-ticularly hard hit by the wave. Graham said no Democratic incumbent in-cumbent remained in office except ex-cept County Commissioner Randy Horiuchi, who survived a close race. Graham said it is an "important "impor-tant challenge" to get 3rd Congressional Con-gressional District Representative Repre-sentative Bill Orton re-elected. Graham herself is facing re-election this year, but she enjoys a 60-10 favorable approval rating, even in Republican stronghold Utah County. No opponent had filed to run against Graham as of Friday. Graham told about a major figure in her life, her grandmother, Julia, who came to Utah when she was 19. "She was a devout Mormon, but the only true saint in her life was FDR," Graham said. Describing her grandmother as a "light in the family", and a dedicated teacher and church leader, Graham told a family story about what happened during the I960 presidential race. Roman Catholic John F. Kennedy was in the race against Richard M. ; Nixon, and young Jan overheard her parents discussing whether they ought to vote for Nixon, since the world "would surely come to an end" if a Roman Catholic was elected president. Jan spent the summers with her grandmother at her chicken farm, and casually mentioned what she had heard her parents say. Grandmother Julia stopped cold, pointed her broom at Jan, and said, "This family was Democrats long before we were Mormons. We're ; voting Democrat!" 1 - 1 Graham said she feels the Democratic Party offers a bond with working families who are struggling, and is the party of the working class. As attorney general, she has tried to take a non-partisan Phillip Trotter Phillip DeWitt Trotter, 78, of Orem, died February 7, 1996, at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center Cen-ter in Provo. He was born March 2, 1917, a son of Arnold D. and Louise Price Trotter in Goshen, Utah. He marriedMaxine S. Newby March 23, 1954, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Phillip served in the Army during World War II.

Assessing the problems faced by the Democratic Party in the upcoming elections, Graham said it is fairly certain that President Clinton "won't do well in our state," which she said would be a factor for Democrats on the ballot. Another factor is that Utah has a "popular" Republican governor. "We have to be realistic," Graham said, noting that the Democrats need strong Congressional Con-gressional candidates in all the districts. Graham took questions and comments from the audience. She was asked why rape statistics statis-tics are up in Utah. The attorney general acknowledged that Utah statistics for rape, murder, and drunken driving are up, while nationally, the trend is the other way. Her office is trying to do something about it, and part of the effort is a reform package before the legislature that would stiffen enforcement of drunk driving laws. She said there is good reason to get on the "preventative side" of these problems. Graham noted that the Utah Legislature consists of only 11 women, and she sees that as a problem. "Ten percent isn't representative," rep-resentative," she said, urging everyone to "consider that" as they meet with neighbors and friends. "Why are we so low? Why do we stand out?" Graham asked. ' Fae Beck, vice chair of the Utah State Democratic Party, spoke briefly during the meeting. meet-ing. She said Democrats have an advantage anytime there are more people voting. She urged fellow party members to work to get out the vote and to support Graham and other Democratic candidates.

It features the jaguar mascot swimming in a fishbowl down the hall near the office, and many whimsical, individualistic touches that reflect the personality of the artist art-ist who did much of the original work. The "unfinished" painting fits in with a bit of Dalton's philosophy of art. "Painting is an organic thing, an evolution that unfolds with life," the artist said.

JCAHO Accredited PTA continued Provo representatives reported on the.program at the meeting. Provo's situation is different from Orem's, Taggart noted, because be-cause Provo City schools are in the Provo School District. The city and the school district have been able to share responsibility respon-sibility in funding the officers. In Orem, on the other hand, Alpine School District would be faced with the pressure of providing the resource officers for all secondary schools in the district, not just in Orem City, although Taggart said some kind of pilot program might begin in Orem. Advantages to having the officers have included decreases in vandalism and theft in the schools, more crimes being solved in the community com-munity at large, better policeyouth relationships, fewer trespassers on school grounds, a quicker response time, and the expressed feeling of greater safety in the schools. Taggart said the PTA leaders have the support of Orem's director of Public Safety, Jay A. Carey, in pursuing pursu-ing the idea of having officers in the secondary schools. There is an ongoing dialogue between the city and the school district on the possibility of funding Outstanding presented at Students at Canyon View Junior High were favored with two assemblies this past week. Monday the rescheduled Jake Gam assembly gave the students stu-dents the opportunity to hear firsthand about space travel and taking advantage of opportunities. oppor-tunities. On Friday, the students stu-dents participated in the Freedom Assembly, where BYU ROTC Captain Michael Current was presented the Canyon View Freedom Award. Jake Garn told students that they would not be able to know the kinds of jobs they will hold 1 in the future, but now is the time to prepare for those opportunities. oppor-tunities. He related that when he received his pilot's license the morning of his sixteenth birthday (and his driver's license that afternoon), he had no idea that he would be a part of a crew on a reusable spacecraft that would circle the earth 16 times in 24 hours. He challenged students not to be "couch potatoes". He said it was okay to have learned math and maybe forget some of it, because be-cause having prepared with math and science paved the way for people like Sally Ride to be an astronaut. He shared the ad a natonaUy recognized leader in home respiratory and oxygen services. $ from page 1 the officers. Funding does loom as a problem in initiating such a program. Taggart said the Orem Public Safety Department Depart-ment has looked at the idea of hiring three new entry level officers, of-ficers, and moving other officers of-ficers to the assignments in the high schools. An estimated cost range would be $125,750. Regardless of what hap-, hap-, pens with the resource officers issue, Taggart said she and others would like to see the creation of a youth advisory board that would have representatives repre-sentatives from the city council, coun-cil, PTA, police, and youth all working together on the issues and needs affecting youth. She visualizes the committee -as one that would "look out for the concerns of youth in Orem", and one with the ultimate purpose pur-pose of strengthening families. "I want this to be the whole group, not just a Teri Taggart project," the family life commissioner com-missioner said. She said she felt good about the meeting and what was accomplished. The next steps will be pursuing funding possibilities and meeting meet-ing in the near future with Mr. Carey and Gary Keetch, Alpine School District administrator over the secondary schools. assemblies Canyon View vantages and disadvantages of weightlessness. Mr. Robert Williams Wil-liams and the math department invited Senator Garn to Canyon View as part of math academic week. As part of the second annual Freedom Assembly at Canyon View, Mr. Greg Ramstedt, following fol-lowing the lead of Mrs. Annette Ablels, invited the BYU ROTC to address the studentbody, celebrating the freedom enjoyed in the United States. Captain Current told the students of his experience as a young boy, his father serving in ' Vietnam. By mistake this family was incorrectly notified that his father had been killed in action. Showing the students a silver bracelet, he explained that it is a reminder of an American who is still missing from military service ser-vice in Vietnam., Captain Current continued to share his own experiences in Desert Storm, explaining his appreciation ap-preciation for letters from school children to any serviceman.
