Show T 2A Thu Summit County Boo Friday, Novombor 11 1994 Pams Place Another crazy, zany event filled week is almost pver.. With an early . deadline, because of Friday being a special day to honor our veterans, its been a little weird around here. (Of course, that is nothing new.) Just a little reminder to take a few moments during this month to let a veteran know of your thanks for their contribution to our freedom. Well, election night is .now over and there are happy winners and sad losers. But, are they really losers? I dont think so, because it takes a lot of stamina, strength, time, and endurance to be on the campaign trail. I have personally witnessed many behind the scenes worry, stress, and concern many of the candidates have had during this recent campaign. Having never attended an election night in the thick of things," I decided that this year I would join in with the other night owls and tough out the election results at the county courthouse. What an interesting expeB. . rience. Upon arriving, I was welcomed to the scene by Mr. G. and-Mr- . (they know who they are) who proceeded to explain what takes place. Next, I walked further down the hall to where the visitors would be staying to view the results as they came in. Since the "boxes containing the votes had not all arrived yet, it was a great time to visit and watch other returns on the televisions set up. Now, remember that there are always members of both parties present and those who vote independently, so there were happy thoughts and not so happy thoughts. At last, the last voting boxes were carried in, and everyone seemed to pick up a little. This didnt last for long, however, because word came out the machine to count the votes wasn't working and a delay would be had while waiting for a different one to arrive from Weber County. But, miracles do happen sometimes and it wasn't long before the personnel had the machine waking once again. It was amazing to me that after all the months of wondering who would be elected, the night had finally come when the wondering would be over. Not many of the candidates were there, but they had representatives who would keep than posted as the figures'began rolling in. When Indeed one of them what he thought of election night, he said It sucks. (His candidate at the time was in a close race.) I have been at hospitals and watched families as they pace in nervousness while waiting the outcome of events, and I would say that the same feeling is evident under these circumstances. Even though expectations run high, here are the more interesting little casual moments. These include catching up on family news, community events and enjoying the usual goodies (which must include chips, crackers, cookies and lots of drinks). Nice that there is also indoor plumbing around the coma. There was even a discussion about how the results used to be tabulated in each voting area and called into the central location and people were usually home and in bed before midnight In fairness, I must say that Mrs. B. did warn me to plan to be home around 3 am (I actually crawled into my nice warm bed around 4.) Guess that is why this may sound mixed-uGood excuse, any way. it Finally is down to the last exciting moment and tilings do get a little a moment tense two. Then numbers are given and the room echoes with either moans or signs of relief, depending on which side you are on. Hugs, expressions of relief, and words of do we really have to return to wok in just a few hours are heard. I really had my eyes opened this year, and realized now important it is to get out and vote. Your vote really does count Those helping to tabulate the voting results far the evening deserve a medal. They really worked hard to get the results done correctly and promptly. Great job... Quote: If at first you dont succeed, take heart, youre running about average.

Busy ...Ask Leon (mister, Columnist S Fables, myths, facts, and discussions about the moon are fascinating, indeed, but where did the moon come from? The term Mother Earth" is literally true due to the newest, widely-respecttheory of astrophysicists, astronomers, and cosmologists. They say She gave birth to her child, the moon, when a heavenly body (scientists call it a planetesimal) of enorin fact about the size of the planet Mars struck the earth a mous size glancing blow at precisely the right angle sufficient to knock a chunk of of cartiynass out of its equatorial region. This approximately collision created an incredible amount of aggregate debris from both colliding bodies and left a swarm of it orbiting the earth. Much of this aggregate material would rain back upon the moon for thousands of centuries to its surface. come, creating the visible craters Any campers on the moon during that era would have spent all their time repairing their tents. Imagine the force of this collision as the resultant mass catapulted itself away from the earth to gradually assume its present orbital pattern. Amazingly, it has retained enough of its initial mo- -. mentum to still cause it to move away from the earth at the rate of about one inch per year! William K. Hartmann, chief scientist at the Planetary Science Institute of Tucson, AZ, after fifteen years of research, introduced n this new later joined by an associate scientist of theory the Institute, Donald R. Davis. From his own observations (1960 and on), and his gleanings of the scientific reports accumulated as a result of testy performed on the Genesis Rocks gathered during the Apollo lunar landtheories ings, Hartmann proved that any of the previous moon-origi- n lacked validation. These three previous assumptions dubbed the capture fission theory, and double planet theory had no physical evitheory, dence as proof. However, when the United States Apollo program (1969-7ended, it had inventoried 845.2 lbs. of soil and rock samples gathered from nine locations on the moon, as a result of the program's six completed lunar landings. These samples offered proof, with much scientific acceptance, that the moon was formed from part of the earth at approximately 100 million years after the earth took shape. This would mean that I feel on Mother Earth, at age 4500 million years (the approximate-agsome mornings) is only two percent older than the moon. Far Eastern cultures have always believed that the moon was formed first. Hartmann indicates that the timing for Earth to become a mother was almost because it occurred after the earth's molten iron core haid formed, settled and also after her mantle had crusted. Therefore, the impact came at a time which allowed the earth to recover, coelesce and regain its spherical shape, thus healing the gaping wound created by the invading impact. Even though this planetesimal was moving about six times the speed of sound when it hit (roughly the same speed a teenager drives the first time he gets the car), because of its tremendous size, it would, have taken about ten minutes or so for it to move the distance of its own diameter and approximately one hour or more for it to travel the impaction distance. This force also had much to do with initiat- by one-four- th pock-marki- moon-creatio- 2) near-perfe- ct ing the rotational direction of this planet. Like the saying goes, Sometimes a good slap, upside the head helps a lot If the rotation was reversed, imagine the sun rising in the West? Would that mean all left--' handers would have been bom and .And if the world had tinned in the opposite direction would those of Muslim faith have bowed Westward in facing Mecca? The Land of The Rising Sun would have become. . .just the opposite. And the Zeroes that bombed Pearl Harbor would have flown in through the glare of the setting sun. Water would have swirled in the opposite direction when you flushed your toilet, and it would have driven the Australians nuts, because their toilet wafer swirls in the opposite direction of northern hemisphere toilet water, anyway. But the worst scenario of all would have been the lovers, arms entwined and heads touching, facing the wrong direction while the full moon was rising.. .behind made-in-Jap- vice-vers- a? rs an them.
