Show : - The Springville Herald ' - April 2, 1986 EMTOKIAL Tbe rifrual of spring With the coming of summer many people begin the yearly chore of spring cleaning. They think about scrubbing, scrub-bing, washing, cleaning and polishing again...and finally plunge in. It is an annual ritual that most of us do because it is spring and that is what one does in the spring. And it is usually time to drag out the bucket and scrub rags anyway. We then work our heads off washing and rearranging every corner of the house. What most people don't realize is that next year's cleaning would be much easier if this year we would do more than scrub and move our belongings belong-ings from place to place, but instead get rid of some of that stuff we have accumulated! How many times, year after year, do we clean out the same cupboards, closets and drawers, take everything out and put it all back in the same place with no thought as to whether we have used any of it for twenty years or ever will again. Most people are pack rats. We are afraid to throw something away in fear that we might need it sometime. The only problem is that if we do need it we can't remember where we put it anyway and we go buy another one. We live each day in homes full of things we are struggling strug-gling to pay for and things we seldom use. We need to get rid of that stuff that is getting in our way. The stuff that we pick up and dust and put back; the stuff that we walk around and move about and clean; the stuff that fills up our closets and drawers. Do we really need it? ELIMINATE IT! Once you get rid of all that stuff around you, your life will be simplified. You will have more time to do other things when you don't have to clean and polish and rearrange all that stuff anymore. A popular housecleaning expert tells us that getting rid of clutter and junk is the best antidepressant going. He says that when we throw out our junk, problems go away with it. He says that getting the clutter out of our lives can and will rid us of more discouragment, tiredness and boredom than anything else we can do. It is spring. It is time to clean. But it is also time to make room in our homes, time to get rid of that stuff that we don't need and don't use. Who wants to clean it anyway? Utah tax increases ranEi third in notion Utah State and local taxes have increased faster than all but two other states between 1974 and 1984, according to the Utah Taxpayers Association. The tax watchdog organization said that Utah's 238 percent ten-year increase was exceeded only by Alaska and Wyoming. Natural resource production was mainly responsible for the huge revenue jumps in these two states. Utah's 238 percent increase was also rose 92 percent faster than the federal government. The ten-year increase in tax revenues of the United States Government was 124 percent.

The 50 state figure is 145 percent. Combined state and local tax income in-come in Utah in 1974 was $553.2 million. By 1984 this had shot up to $1,872.2 million. The figures included taxes for cities, towns, school districts, counties, special taxing districts, and state government. Jack Olson, Executive Vice-President Vice-President of the Association said, "It is difficult to understand why state and local officials are calling for a tax increase next year when Utah's tax receipts over the last ten years have grown faster than the federal government and nearly every other state. We feel state and local officials should be looking at ways to streamline their departments and cut costs rather than increasing taxes." sets reunion Allen Harris.

COMMENT PAGE Art Oof cfjofaon Qiiiond thanks To the Citizens of Springville: As chairmen of the Art Ball we would like to use this means to express ex-press our thanks publicly to all those who helped make our evening a success. We had the privilege of receiving people as they came in and received our thanks at that time but our committee chairmen were working behind the scenes as they have been doing for the past three months. You've been reading the many fine articles and seeing the pictures that our publicity chairman Norley Hall was responsible for. He did a great job of letting all Utah County know of our celebration to open the Annual April Salon. Mary and Ted Martindale supervised the buffet and both spent many hours making specialty items that were such a beautiful treat at the buffet. Our thanks also to Barts Catering for their fine work. The sharp looking waiters in the serving rooms were from the high school band. We thank them and the women who served as our hostesses throughout the evening. The lovely floral arrangements were created by Brig and LaRae Stewart. They also arranged for and supervised the other decorations done by Gregg Fowkes of Santaquin. Bill and Gerry Duncan were in charge of the program and other music for the evening that was so enjoyable not to mention the enormous job of arranging for all the chairs for the program that must be moved from one of the churches to the top floor of the museum and returned. Our program was a success largely due to the efforts and ability of our M.C., Waldo Jacobsen. We thank him sincerely. I don't believe anyone there will soon forget little JaNae Codner at the grand piano nor the lovely sopranos who sang for us. Many thanks to the Codners and to Opera West for arranging this for us. A very important part of our program was the crowning of the UFT asks for by Michael Olson Nebo Board members were assigned some homework last week as Steven Haderlie and Glenn Bird of the Nebo Federation of Teachers presented a long list of recommendations recom-mendations and asked the Board to reply in writing to the suggestions at the next Board Meeting. Harderlie and Bird presented the Board with bound booklet of recommendations they had put together on behalf of NFT, and both commented on the contents during last week's regular Board Meeting. Bird emphasized the recommendations recom-mendations had been put together with the aim of helping better education in the District for all levels and included broad-based concerns and suggestions for improvement. im-provement. Among the suggestions presented were those pertaining to career ladder pay, use of in-place teaching staff to fill teaching needs, funding costly single-item projects, changes in the ratio of students to teachers to administrators, changes in implementation im-plementation of a fair and practical method for removing incompetent teachers and administrators, better monitoring of private use of materials, restriction of Nebo Education Association activities on payroll time, payroll policy changes for career ladder bonuses or extra duty, a policy requiring negotiations be completed in the spring, inclusion of non-NEA teacher in negotiation meetings, and measures to avoid assignment of teachers to subjects outside their majors or minors.

Our thanks to the numerous people who took the responsibility! of selling our tickets. Pat Conover and Sherrill Sand-berg Sand-berg are the special representatives from the Art Board and the Museum staff without whose help we'd never had made it because they are the pros who are involved every year and could answer so many questions. There were two others not on our committee who were very generous with their artistic lettering talent, Carolyn Coombs who designed our posters and Nanette Oram who lettered some signs for us. Lastly, we'd like to thank the businesses who helped out with generous contributions: Levin's Tux Shop for our waiters tuxedos. Springville Herald for their wonderful full page ad. Springville Floral and Stieners Floral for their floral contributions. Diamond's Greenlhouse for the numerous flowering plants they gave. Springville Stake House for the use of their chairs.

Thanks to all of the above and to all of you who came. You all helped make Springville's special spring social event a success. Sincerely, Blaine and Shirley Thorn ivrif f en reply follows: Harderlie suggested that Nebo not use the maximum allowable percentage per-centage of career ladder funds for extra days for all teachers. He said the District ehould consider using a higher percentage of the money for bonuses to be paid effective teachers, adding that Nebo provides the highest number of extended days in the state with seven and a half. Bird asked the Board to study the ratio of district-level administrative positions to teaching positions and to consider the difference between classroom teacher salaries and administrator salaries. He said teacher salaries average $23,000 in the District while administrators average some $37,000. He said he felt the difference to be inordinate even considering the longer working year of administrators. Bird and Haderlie's booklet also contains an article detailing how teaching standards have been regulated in Toledo, Ohio. They recommend it as a way of insuring competency in the schools and classrooms. Tired of peeling carrots? Drop them into boiling water. Let stand five minutes then drop them in cold water.

I wish I would have gotten their names, but unfortunately, un-fortunately, I did not. My car started to smoke on 1-15 on my way to work. I was terrified and I didn't know what to do so I took the 400 South Exit and parked off to the side of the road. It was 6:30 a.m. and still dark so I didn't dare walk for help. After I waited a few minutes, my car stopped smoking. I drove to the service station at 410 South Main, just south of the old Hi-Spot Drive In. By then my car was really smoking and I ran inside to call for help. The attendant at the service station was very kind and a gentleman who was buying something ran out and got a fire extinguisher from his yellow Chevrolet truck to put out fire. Luckily, the "fire and smoke" was just a broken hose and steam. The attendant was more than happy to help me in any way possible and the gentleman stayed there until I was once again on my way. A person who will help a stranger nowadays is hard to find, but to find two in one place is one-in-a-million!
