The building was be-ing vacated for use as a fire station, the purpose it was originally built for. Council Member Marisa Wright took a moment during Fi-nance Director Rebecca Tehero's budget presentation to comment. Tehero was saying that the bud-get projections didn't reflect the whole cost of adding paramedics and would have to be revised. "The most important thing you can go home with tonight is the knowledge that paramed-ics are going to be moving into this building," Wright told the Scouts, which cuts response time way flown. "In an emergency, seconds matter," she said, which makes any increased costs worth it. She was echoing something Lone Peak Fire Chief Brad Free-man said in an earlier meeting. He said that he had never heard residents object to paying higher taxes for adding paramedics and firefighters. The new city offices are in the Lexington Heights complex, 4587 Cedar Hills Drive (kitty-corn- er through the roundabout from Walmart). City Manager Konrad said the city will hold an open house April 23, the same day as the Easter Egg Hunt, which will be at "11 o'clock, not 11:01" he said, adding that residents should be there "more like 10:45." "Council" continued from Page 6 ment go home with the em-ployees. He said that is for the water department and streets department staff that is on call after hours. Other departments do have vehicles that the city owns that have been "handed down" from other depart-ments. Kim asked Lynn if his department maintained their own vehicles. Lynn said that yes, they generally do most of their own mechanical work. A transfer of funds for the police dispatching will save the city a whopping $75,000. Dean said these funds have been sitting in an account for a length of time. Scott explained that they are in the process of working up a five year plan for the re-placement of computers. He noted that there needs to be more information garnered re-garding the plan, but it looks like it would be an economi-cal way for the city to keep the computers updated. A UDOT representative told those present that there were invited to attend the placement of the Sam White's Lane bridge on March 26. The process will begin at 1 1 p.m. She said that there will be a couple of large areas where spectators can watch the process. This is currently the largest span in the west-ern hemisphere to be built to the side of the freeway, then moved into place. Life-lon- g resident and long-tim- e teacher, Paul Schoonover, was named the Teacher of the Year by the VFW. Kraig Thorne, from the VFW, said that Paul was chosen because of his service as a teacher and to the com-munity. He is a veteran of the Viet Nam War. PGHS teacher Dave Carter also received the Teacher of the Year award. Holly Richardson from the State Legislature came forward to report to the mayor and council on the business that had gone through the leg-islature. She first reported that there had been no cuts to edu-cation, which was very impor-tant to her. Additionally, she said that another hot-butt- is-s-was immigration. She said that the enforcement portion of the bill did pass. She also said that the guest worker pilot program passed and would be implemented. Council Member Jensen asked her about her vote on HR477. This was GRAMA is-sue that was another hot topic. She said that she did take issue with the bill, but that she did agree that private communi-cations should remain private for the legislators. Represen-tative Richardson, however, said that she felt that infor-mation that was in the public interest should remain open and transparent. She said she hoped that a compromise can be struck regarding this issue. The future of the Copper Lefe development was again discussed. Mr. Victor Sharp from Sharp Pointe Develop-ment said that he is in the pro-cess of purchasing the property and will build both the com-mercial and residential por-tions of his development at the same time. Community Devel-opment Director Ken Young explained that he appreciated Mr. Sharp's presentation, but that his department had not, as yet, received any official plans from Mr. Sharp. Leisure Services Director Deon Giles indicated that the long-await- fish were com-ing to the new pond on 3000 North. He said the DWR will be stocking it with a va-riety of fish. Also, they will provide some equipment for those young people that want to fish in the pond. For more information, he said residents can call Recreation Manager JayDee Neilson at the Recre-ation Department.

Another posi-tive: Rent-to-ow- n real estate, unlike on earth, would actually make sense. Additional benefits to call-ing Mars home would be not being asked to substitute teach in Sunday School, consider-able fewer, shark attacks, and I wouldn't have to put up with step family reunions planed for every other weekend during the summer so we can catch up. I admit that with Aunt Stella run-ning after me with a scrapbook and a recorder, and Gramma Ruby wanting me to play the viola for her on camera, Mars is looking indeed homey. If I could just get "Whz" and my wife to stop talking about Mars in front of my wife's par-ents. They will soon have been whipped into frenzy-in-la- w and I will have two moving tracks shipsflying garbage trucks to pack when all I wanted from the beginning was better healthcare, a diet coke, Chrysanthemums, and to not have to judge the science fair again. Just makes you want to throw a vowel at someone. what rashly that I am creating a list which I plan to then lami-nate and attach to the medical ID necklace I now wear that t warns people to steer clear from my wife when she has a bee in her space bonnet. This is in case I somehow become incapaci-tated and my love, my chosen one, my space buddy, chooses to leave the planet with me in tow instead of waiting for me to regain consciousness. Here are the reasons I will not be signing up to colonize Mars. First, a lady at the ki-osk in the mall says that I am an "autumn" and that I should stick to browns and blues. My best colors on the pallet are sorely lacking on Mars if the set designers from "Total Recall" are to be trusted. The lack of breathable air is another thing one could focus on if the im-age of me wearing red wasn't so horrifying. My next worry is the ap-palling lack of information concerning the number and lo-cations of convenience stores. I need carbonated refills every hour on the hour. I have a habit to feed, and apparently diet coke doesn't grow on trees. Also, are there any trees? I don't believe I am being selfish in asking for more infor-mation. I have a family to care for. Speaking of, my youngest son is concerned that those on Mars would not be focused on the important, status gaining life altering events like foot-ball. Are there any good teams on Mars, or would he be better off in Canada? He did the math (or at least paid "Whz" at school to do it for him) and he would have to gain eighty three pounds at the very least to stay on the offense line due to the differ-ence in gravity. I can't afford to feed him eighty three pounds worth. I can barely afford to pay my son to pay "Whz" to do his math for him. Unreliable Internet service is another real deal breaker. I am used to the personal service I get here on Earth. I call; he comes over and fixes my IT problem immediately. And the wait time off-plan- et to speak to a live agent would be unbear-able. The only trepidation my wife has is that we may not be able to have visits from her folks or see the next two Kevin Costner movies when they are released.
