Professor describes life down under Kaye Nelson Buying a plane ticket and traveling down under is country that's very easy to like." Minister Janet Riley said Sites has spoken at the church several times as part of a series. "Our Church Mission Committee and Outreach Sites' lecture was fast-paced fast-paced and informational, punctuated by colorful photos taken by Sites over several decades. Beginning with the history of Australia, Austra-lia, he spoke of early explorers, ex-plorers, the colonization of the country and the eventual even-tual formation of six states and two territories. Sites said politics there differ from the US. in that voting is a requirement of all citizens. "Voting is mandatory Former patrol commander announces candidacy Stressing that he is a native na-tive of Utah County and understands the area, Kenneth Ken-neth Peay announced this week that he is running , for the Utah State Senate inDistrict 13.

"It's not unusual un-usual to have a 98 percent turnout at elections." Sites recapped the history histo-ry of Australia serving as a penal colony for Britain, indicating that, if a convict lived through the long voyage voy-age and life in the harsh country, they could work off their time and return to England. Giving a rundown of Australian idiomatic English, Eng-lish, Sites explained that a "bloke" is a man, "avago" means to have a go at something, a "brekkie" is breakfast, a "brumbie" is a horse, "G'day" is the normal nor-mal greeting on the street, and a "walkabout" is a walk in the bush, although he said some foreigners end up getting lost when doing so. A biology professor at BYU, Sites spent a large portion of the lecture discussing dis-cussing ideas related to his field and other natural interests. in-terests. He explained that Australia, while large, is a very dry country, with only six percent of the land there used for cultivated crops. The age of Australia is interesting as well "The universe is thought to be 4.6 billion years old and the oldest exposed rocks are in Australia," Sites said. "They .are 4.2 billion years old." The flora and fauna of Australia is unique and sometimes odd. Nine hundred hun-dred species of eucalyptus trees grow there - the ma Peay pointed to the need to manage growth effectively effec-tively in the county and to cut down on crime. "Our jails are overcrowded but we can't solve our crime problems by simply locking lock-ing people up." We need crime prevention measures mea-sures and to use alternative alterna-tive treatment centers for non-violent drug abusers. Peay also noted that the people in Utah need adequate ad-equate health insurance. "We need to find a way to make health insurance affordable af-fordable and available to our citizens."

Three mammals that lay eggs, not a mammalian trait, live on the continent: two kinds of echidnas and the platypus. platy-pus. Insects and other odd creatures are larger than life in the rain forests of Australia. "There are 15-inch walking walk-ing sticks there," Sites said. He added that 15-pound crayfish have been caught in Tasmania and there are 12-foot long earthworms along with a curious turtle. "The snake neck turtle pulls it's head in sideways instead of vertically like a regular turtle," he said and noted there are more venomous ven-omous kinds of snakes in Australia than non-venomous. : , Riley said she was intrigued in-trigued with information Sites gave about a species of f rog in Australia. ; "He said there are frogs that grow in the belly of the mother," she said.
