It was necessary for him to hit me with something really big to get through. While at the cabin at Fish Lake Kent began his hinting by saying, We need to get the snow off the roof. Rob, go around the cabin, stand under the eaves and knock all the icicles off the roof. Like a dummy, I agreed. I didnt know that five feet icicles weigh about 50 pounds each, and that they become lethal weapons to the poor souls standing under them when released. The sixth time I became pinned to the porch by a falling ice dagger, realized was getting the raw end of the deal. Then Kent asked, Why dont you start choppinig the ice from the edge of the roof while I climb on the gable and knock the ice and snow out of the val leys? Like an even bigger dummy, I figured that would be fairly safe. So began knocking the ice down, little expecting the result. As was innocently chopping ice, Kent was above me snow load to plotting his trap. He engineered the four-fofall when I hit it in the proiper spot.

Why should I subscribe to the Payson Chronicle when get the Nebo Emporium free each week? Even a quick look will show there is a difference between the two. The Payson Chronicle is a community newspaper which reports the news of Southern Utah County. The CHRONICLE informs its readers of the deliberations and actions of the city council, and the working of city government. Every issue of the CHRONICLE is filled with news about local schools, local sports, and local people. There are columns to inform and enlighten and editorials and letters to the editor for a local interchange of ideas, the CHRONICLE is the only news medium dedicated solely to Southern Utah County. The $10 per year you pay for a CHRONICLE subscription will barely cover the cost of having the paper printed. The news gathering, paper layout and distribution is ail paid by the advertising which informs our readers of the goods and services available from our advertisers. However, not everyone subscribes to the CHRONICLE, and in order to get our advertisers message to those who do not take the CHRONICLE we put out the Nebo Emporium. There is no news of city government; no Forum page, Peoples page, Sports page, or Southwest Section. There is some news in the Nebo Emporium, and each week it has fine human interest stories, but the largest and most important portion of the news appears only in the CHRONICLE. This week compare the news content of the CHRONICLE with that of the Emporium. Youll see why those interested in what is happening locally subscribe to the Payson CHRONICLE.

These developments will make it necessary for me to resign my position as Payson City Councilman. To the citizens of Payson, express my thanks and gratitude of my family for allowing me to become a City Councilman and to serve under two mayors andf two councils since my election in 1979. especially wish to thank Mayor Tassainer and the City Council for giving me the opportunity of serving these past two weeks as Miyor pro tempore. These years have been difficult times for our community with many changes have tried to do my best. I week's Council Meeting, it was feared that some of the Council Members might come down with motion sickness, but at this writing all seem fine. Councilman Brent Ashworth submitted his resignation last week. Now, because of the rapid turnover of councilmen, they will begin using disposable Name Plates and official ''Fill in the blank with the name of current councilman'' stationery. The use of Hillman Field was pitched then batted around, but the contention between Softball and Baseball leagues was judiciously umpired by Mayor Tassainer, hopefully clearing up their disagreements and calling neither side out. A wild cheer went up as the sale of 49 acres for an industrial park was announced. CounciWilson became so lman emotional that he could not speak the rest of the evening. His official statement is that he was only suffering from laryngitis. Considering how soft hearted he is, his statement is hard to believe. Some representatives from the local Calvary (they prefer to be called Riding Clubs) told Council and Audience that they are renovating their Old Fort, North East of the Race Track. They requested some financial aid but the council tabled discussion for f computer printout indicates a minimum of Indian attacks since the death of Chief Black Hawk. There was an air of breathless excitement among the Council Members as they opened the sealed bids for the janitorial contract on the New City Complex. The reason for their excitement became apparent when one of the neighbors later reported seeing Mayor and Council after an leaving executive session" wearing aprons and armed with mops, brooms and various other cleaning supplies. Several people belonging to an offbeat association called Irrigation Advocates had plenty to say when the results of the Curb and Cutter poll were presented. Their argument had something to do with their unalienable right to irrigation water. When assured that a system could be built to accomodate irrigation, that did not quell their protest. Evidently they have taken a vow of poverty and would not be able to pay for curb and gutter. When asked, they say they will only be satisfied if the curb contains the hides of the Mayor and Council-meI would rather see the hides of the Mayor and Council stay where they are. n.
