The day set for this area to attend is Wednesday, Feb. 3. Meetings will begin at 9:30 a.m. each day. Legislation to be discussed includes Appropriations for prog ations, said Officer W right. According to officers, police dogs can cover an area in 15 minutes that it would take see-ra- l officers hours to search. The officers asked permission to bury Pasha in front of City Halla, and to erect a monument honoring him and Cyrus and Tiffy, the first two city dogs. Additional space would be left on the monument to honor future dogs. The council was moved by the emotion filled request and the support of the large number of officers who crowded into city hall - and approved the request. rams assisting older Utahns; auto insurance discounts for older people who have completed the driver safety course; reduction in property taxes for low i. ,ome older Utahns; and elderly group home zoning.

In 1984, the IRS seized dental equipment, a computer and ohter items for alleged failure to pay income tax. Brown leased dental equipment in another location, noting that the building is owned by his wife. The IRS said she owned only half of it. The suit alleged that the IRS illegally, improperly, and maliciously took the Browns property. W inder said that the employees were attempting to collect taxes which the plaintiffs allegedly owned the government. Federal lawyers then filed a motion to have the case removed Donations Viewpoint to U.S. District Court, but the Browns fought the change in form, as wed as the judges right to order the change. Winder t hen upheld both the removal decision and the magistrates authority. Plaintiffs have caused the government to needlessly expend considerable efforts in responding to plaintiffs frivolous pleadings, Winder wrote. He said the Browns interposed their motions for the improper purpose of harassing the defendant (the federal government) and needlessly increasing the cost of the litigation. . .

As the snow falls, the tempe- rature warms, and unless the wind is blowing, it almost feels mild. One night I went out in the yard to watch the storm. The flakes drifted softly from the sky, and giving in to a childish whim, I lifted my face skwyard to let the tiny icy drops brush against my face. Though there was no moon, the night was bright, and I could easily see where I was going. Id been standing near the haystack for a few moments when it came to me that I was hearing something that usually escaped my attention. I was listening to the snow fall! You cant hear snow fall, I mumbled to myself - but I could, and you can too. Next time a gentle storm passes through (unlike last weeks blizzard) get your coat and trapse out to the middle of your back yard. Turn off all your problems and anxieties, and tune into whats happening. It may take a few minutes, but sooner or later youll hear it and you'll feel it too - the indescribable harmony of falling snow. Meanwhile, the ski resorts are rejoicing - but now they have turned their prayers to stopping the gale force winds bombasling the slopes. Most have had to -- down their lifts now and then so no one becomes accidently airborne.
