Box 385, 421-16- 0) I I 1 PaysoMJtah84651 Letter to the Editor Editorial Thanks to scouters "dog catcher", the "murderer" Most people recognize the values of Scouting for boys and young men and women, but the success of the Scouting program depends on the leaders chosen by the organizations that are chartered to use the program of the Boy Scouts of America. These leaders - Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, Den Mothers, Varsity Scout Coaches, Explorer Post Advisors -- - are directly involved with the young people they lead. Activities related to character, citizenship, and fitness form the backbone of the Scouting program. Its the unit leader who makes the Scouting program effective in the lives of these young people. ' True, there are assistant leaders, unit committee members, merit badge counselors, and an army of adults serving in the Utah National Parks Council to support the unit leaders with training, activities, outdoor programs, and program helps. They, too, are very important to Scouting. But on this 72nd anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, we want to recognize those men and women who serve as leaders of boys in Cub Scout packs, Scout troops, Varsity Scout teams, and of young men in Explorer Posts. These leaders deserve the thanks of everyone in our community because they are contributing untold hours of service for the benefit of youth. To them we offer a snappy Scout salute! I you call me. I am a product of your own irresponsibility. It is not I who allows your animal to roam the streets, to contract diseases from other animals, to be hit by passing motorists, or poisoned by rotting garbage. I am the one who must look into d those sick, eyes, and try to move the animal without causing further harm, and most often humanely destroy him to put him out of pain. who abandons It is not unwanted animals on farm roads telling myself the friendly farmer who will take them in. It is must pick up the frightened animal, waiting in vain for the beloved master and wondering why he has been abandoned. am the one who must help that friendly farmer trap, tranquilize or kill that animal, because he has begun to roam in packs with other abandoned animals, killing livestock, fowl and game. It is not who breeds and fights dogs in the name of "sport". am the one who must fight the breeders and participants and pick up the dead and dying animals they leave behind. It is not who keeps an animal confined to an area too small, or deprive him of food, water, shelter or exercise. But it is I other action, In 1 the council appointed Councilman Brent Ashworth to act as mayor because Mayor Tassefi-ne- r will be out of town for several weeks in March. The council also presented pro-te- m William Benson with his certification as a journeyman lineman in the city's electrical department. The certification culminates three years of training from the city and Utah Technical College. The council approved Officer Mike Openshaw as a Corporal in the Payson City Police Depart- ment. The council heard a report from Lew Huff about the city summer band concerts. The council approved $2000 to continue the concerts next summer. They also asked Mr. Huff to explore the possibility of replacing the existing sound system at the bandstand in the padc. The council heard from Richard Bradford of Utah Industrial Development (UVIDA). Bradford explained that UVIDA was interested in attracting industries to Utah County. He indicated that during the first six months of 1981 he was very concerned about the recession. "During those six months we did not get one industry to locate in the county. But we streamlined and refashioned our operation, and in the past six months we have had eight industries move to the county through our efforts." Bradford said UVIDA had an active file of 200 industries looking for sites. He said some were unable to build because of the economy, but the major problem with getting the industries to locate in the county was finding suitable sites for them. Max Hiatt and Alan Wilde, representing a group of concerned Payson citizens, met with the council to discuss problems with the city's zoning laws. They were concerned about ordinances and policies which they felt were restricting the construction of houses in Payson. In particular, they noted a difficulty in finding areas in which to build multiple units and unrealistic lot size requirements. They also questioned the membership of the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustments, and whether these two organizations served the interest of all Payson citizens and whether they met the needs of Payson to grow and compete. They recommended that a separate citizen committee be set up to study the need to make changes in zoning laws. Mayor Tassainer told the group that ' the new Planning Commission was working on the problems of zoning and lot sizes. He introduced Don Lankford and Cary Bowen, both members of the Planning Commission who were at the meeting. Bowen, chairman of the Planning Com- mission, indicated that the commission was working on the problems of zoning and lot sizes. He asked the citizens group to come to the Planning Commission meeting to give their input. f . , I "dog-catcher- ". I 1 I I But now its nearly mailtime So must say goodbye dear.

VMiat follows is a short account of those strange proceedings. ' Don Lankford, who ran for city council in the last election was dragged kicking and screaming to the council meeting where he was sworn in to replace retiring Steve Bona. Bona could not be reached for comment. Reportedly, he became lost in the n mountains of surplus public property stored at the building and hasn't been seen or heard from since. A gang of Zoning Vigilantes appeared at last week's meeting. They were not allowed to enter the council chamber until they left their guns and horses outside. Apparently they were planning to hang the "Zoning Ordinances" without a trial. But with quick thinking and a cool head, Mayor Tassainer sentenced them to 30 days with the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is developing a "Master Plan" to deal with these kinds of problems. It was proposed that the Gladstan Golf Course be relocated and an industrial park be designated ror the present area. Mrs. Gladys Wilson was there and gave her blessing. But because of the unusually high water table at the site, city councilmen were afraid to get their feet wet with the proposal. They deferred the matter for 2 more weeks hoping that by that time they could all locate hip boots. Lewis Huff was asked to oversee the remodeling of the sound system at the Payson Park Grandstand. The comment was made that he'd be perfect for the job because during the summer he's there every Sunday anyway. Salem City approached the council asking permission to use Payson's landfill. After a brief conference, the council announced that they weren't sure they wanted to be "Dumped On" and would take the matter under further advisement. Mayor Tassainer announced that he would be out of town for the first 2 weeks of March. Councilman Brent Ashworth will act as mayor in his absence. It is rumored that while acting as temporary mayor, Ashworth will triple the size of the police force, invoke martial law, and seize total political power. Whether he will be successful remains to be seen. I i Bon-To- i !

As she and her counselor happened upon a small crippled boy on the street one day in 1911, the idea of a convalescent care facility for crippled children came into For a time the facility occupied a ward in the LDS Hospital. Then, what began as an attempt to aid crippled children began to evolve to a specialized pediatric hospital, offering a of pediatric services. The basic governing principle of the institution survives: to maintain a self- being. full-rang- e child-oriente- d, sustaining pediatric medical facility with a profound respect for children and childhood. It is a commitment that extends from the board of governors to administrators, physicians, nurses, technicians and housekeeping staff. The "Pennies by the Inch" campaign is slated for February 0, according to regional chairman, Mrs. Judy Thomas. "As economic times become harder, the need for contribu- tions for charity cases at Primary Children's also increase.
