Show 2 The Salina Sun Wednesday, May 25.1988 The Opinion SalinaSun Letter to the Editor Drunk Driving Never Pays Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol seems to go in spurts but there never seems to be atime when our highways are completely freed drug influenced driving. And with a major holiday upon us when thousands of people will be driving Utahs highways felt the following information about how drunk drivers are treated in other parts of the world would be interesting. Congratulations on Region Track The following letter was received by North Sevier High Principal Timothy Smith following the Region Track Meet held on the new complex recently. I m you really think about the consequences of driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol if killing someone doesnt stop you the fines of over $800 should. dont feel that asking drinkers to be responsible and find someone else to drive is too much to ask. More and more feelings of hate and resentment are being directed to the drunk driver by our society and if the drinker doesnt control the situation laws in the United States could change to match some of the following. If you think U.S. Drunk Driving laws are tough: In Australia the names of the drivers are sent to local newspapers and are printed under the heading, Hes drunk and in jail. In Malaya the driver is jailed, if hes married, his wife is jailed too. In South Africa the penalty is a ten year prison sentence and the equivalent of a $10,000 fine or Dear Tim: I would like to take a minute as Region Track Chairman and let you know how successful I felt the Region Track Meet was.

One in the extreme cases is anyone executed legally in the United States even for crimes of the most violent nature.

Where is a local sign that says East - Denver or U.S. 89 South - Bruce Canyon or U.S. 50 West -Reno? That would be helpful. Lets do whatever it takes to keep this stretch of 89 on the map and not be the missing link on a unique highway. The choose g for all t highway and it hasnt been incorporated into any other interstates until reaching southernmost Arizona. Then there is the hapless tourist: U.S. 50, and add U.S. 89. Give them a break! Tourism is a large part of our economic base and we should be trying to help tourists not confuse them with more changes that will take years to appear on maps.

U.S. 89 is an uncommon highway, running 1500 miles from Canada to Mexico through the most beautiful National Parks in the West: from Glacier to Yellowstone and Grand T eton , do wn to Bryce Canyon and Zion and on to the Grand Canyon. Thats pretty amazing on one We someone. have met some drinking drivers who carry the bail money necessary to post bail in case they get caught in their wallet at all times. To some it is a game of chance. And even if they kill someone they are usually the ones who remember nothing as they are too drunk at the time to notice any of the details like crying, or yelling or worse, silence. Law enforcement agencies are working consistently and fairly to rid our streets of drug controlled drivers. applaud their efforts. only wish that drinkers would become more responsible and those doing drugs would see their dwindling sensitivity to the human race even to the point that taking life does not matter. You are out of control, a nuisance to society, Please take these issues into your own hands before it becomes too late either for you or for some- I really couldnt believe my I read the letter. It was the when eyes most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. In todays economy, even with a full time wage earner in the family, its hard enough to make ends meet, but with a woman trying to raise a child by herself, it is doubly hard. Jana has said she has made payments on her sewer assessment, although it is not paid off, so ho w has she defaulted? If she only pays $5 a week or a month, she is still paying on the debt. If it is the decision of theTown Council of Redmond to try to take this womans home away from her, I am afraid they have a long, hard battle ahead of them and I would certainly hate to be one of those officials when this story gets out. I would think Redmond City Hall needs to pull in its horns and its decision, if this is indeed its stand. I know we are losing more and more of our rights every day, but this is going too far.

Salina Stake Dear Editor: Has Communism come to Redmond, Utah, or have a small group of people, entrusted with running the community completely lost their minds? The letter to the editor in the May 18,1988 issue of the Salina Sun, from Jana Wahlquist, Redmond, sounds like something that might happen in Russia, but not in a small town in Utah. How can the government tell someone that they are going to confiscate that persons home and sell it to satisfy a debt that is being paid, however slowly? If these town officials have this kind of power, can it spread? I certainly hope not. If it is true, then the state should put up a special sign at the entrance to Redmond, warning innocent people, a sign with a skull and crossbones, or a sign with a black border, telling people that Redmond is run by dictators and that they shouldnt venture into the boundaries of Redmond. If this story is true, I certainly hope it doesnt get into the hands of any national news media. Redmond, and indeed, the whole state of Utah would be the laughing stock of the Tfie Sky is the Limit ! In for tt at both. In I appreciate the ellorts of you and your staff for the fine organization and planning that was done. This track meet ran as smoothly as any Meet I have ever attended. I would ask tat you take a minute and thank those who helped in any way. The quality of this Meet speaks very highly of you, your staff, and North Sevier High School. Congratulations on a big job well done. Donald J.
