At Vernal Junior High School, Bart Huber and Lynette Mecham were given the award. Miss Mecham, daughter of Glen J. and Kian L. Mecham, is in the ninth grade.

Miss Slaugh is the daughter of Wade and Sylvia Slaugh.

Gary Orton is the son of Chad and Beth Orton. He is student body president, presi-dent, an Eagle Scout and member of the Student Council. Will it be a large university, a vocationaltechnical voca-tionaltechnical school or a private college? That's the question many high school seniors are beginning to' ask themselves. To aid students in making the right choice, the state developed an orientation program. Uintah High School will be participating par-ticipating in a Post High School Orientation Orien-tation Program on Nov. 15. The program-is designed to answer the question ques-tion of what to do after graduation. Organized by the Utah State Office of Education, these annual programs feature representatives from the fourteen four-teen major school institutions. Area vocational centers are also included in the areas in which they serve. The schools participating in the Uintah Uin-tah program are Brigham Young University, College of Eastern Utah, Dixie College, Hollywood Beauty College, Col-lege, LDS Business College, Snow College, Col-lege, Southern Utah State University, Stephens-Henager, University of Utah, Utah State University, Utah Technical College-Provo, Utah Technical College-Salt Lake, Rick's College, Weber State, Westminster College, Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center. The program will begin with a general session at 8:45 a.m. All seniors are encouraged to attend with their parents. If juniors wish to participate ( in the program they will need to have a parent accompany them. After the general sesson, seniors and parents will be able to attend the individual in-dividual sessions of their choice. Each person may attend three sessions. During the sessions students will be informed in-formed on how to apply for admissions and receive information on financial aid that is available. Prior to orientation next week, the school will be sending out a Post High School Orientation Booklet which will give detailed information on the 14 institutions, in-stitutions, five area vocational centers and privatetechnical schools. The booklet also discusses financial aid and military opportunities which provide pro-vide educational opportunities for Utah students.

According to George Roth with the Uintah Basin Association of Governments, Govern-ments, who is doing research on the project, the program will probably begin some time next year. When in operation the major thrust of the communication program will be for educational uses. For example, a two-way video could be established to help classrooms in different counties communicate with each other. The system would link the area to major university classes. Other advantages to the program could include the use of several lines as phone lines. With telecommunication telecommunica-tion lines, phone bills could be greatly great-ly reduced. Also, hospitals could use some lines to monitor patients in ambulances. Currently the program is in the planning plan-ning stages and will be implemented in the future, Roth said. Oil, gas, mining board Transition period for holds hearings Mountain Bell begins Losing the money game reason No. 2 How many classes did you take in high school where you were taught how to manage your money? How many did you take where you were shown what the free enterprise system Is all about? My guess is that your answer is "none" to both questions. The second reason people lose the money game is because they do not understand money. Because they don't understand money, they don't know how to manage it. In various places we are taught how to make money. Our high school system is geared to prepare us "to make it in the outside world," i.e., to make a living, raise a family, help develop our community. If you want to specialize and perhaps become better bet-ter informed, you may go to college or trade school. Again, you art learning to make money. Did anybody think of learning how to manage this money they are taught to make? tl (teem to me very unfortunale that such a vital part of the knowledge we need "to make it in thw world" u not even mentioned in our school viem , Our syrteffl leche u math. Knglifth. science, art and athletic, and on and on, But what about money? M no one i going lo u hat l do vrilh money bm c get it. ht chance do v have? I gucM know the anet 10 that don't e? 2 out of too. The life e eny a VnHed Nate ciUiwtwi i lo a ignifcan degree dw in (he free enerrte trittn e have Without tt4 my fe of the everyday freedom e often lake for granted mrm&4 be outs e cwwMnl hn e do for groceries, clothes, cars, anything. We couldn't have the choice we have in choosing a TV station to watch, a way to heat our home, and on and on. The free enterprise system largely is responsible for providing us with these choices. If you work for a business then your livelihood depends on private enterprise. If you work for the government or a non-profit organization, indirectly your livelihood is still very much dependent on private enterprise. Why? Because it is private enterprise that provides a lot ot your organization's funds through taxes or donations. It is private enterprise that works with your organization through contracted work, donated labor and materials, and other ways, to help your organization organiza-tion meet its goals. And how much do you understand about how private enterprise works? Again, It seems to me unfortunate that lew, if any, of our public schools give us any orientation at all to this topic w much a part of our everyday live, Perhaps il people understood it better, they would appreciate it more, Perhaps they would defend It more. We are wrll informed in the various ways to make money, We are a bunch of illiterates when it comes to managing manag-ing money, no iep dn from the soap bo. The point is that propie do not under; land money. This is one reawn hy they cart'l manage it Another reason I hey t an I manage it because good management of mney requires some ktHmiedge of our free enterprise system And thi they don I understand unders-tand either. Arrest made irr 4 possession case While on patrol around midnight Nov. 6, Deputy Sheriff Wayne Hollebeke noticed a suspicious vehicle in the Dog Valley area on , West Highway 40. Hollebeke made a routine traffic stop and investigated the incident. Upon investigation Hollebeke recovered some controlled substances and over $300 in marijuana. Frank Doherty, 19, of Vernal and ; Curtis Norby, 20. also of Vernal were both incarcerated by the Sheriffs Department and bail was set at S7,3oo for Doherty and 12.200 for Norby. Various charges were filed against the pair Including: possession of a controlled con-trolled substance with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of alcohol, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, intoxica-tion, open container, destruction of evidence and contributing to minors, The pair is being turned over to Judge Hammond's court and the cae is continuing. On Nov. 7, acting on lead from a confidential source, Hollebeke was able lo recover over a half a million dollars in stolen oilfield etjuipment The equipment was stolen in a robbery rob-bery in Thermopolis, Wya last September , The truck that was carrying carry-ing the cargo was also stolen but has been mwered in Grand Junction, Colo Arrests in the taM ate still pending The Board of Oil, Gas and Mining has set a series of meetings throughout the state to hear comments from the oil and gas industry and interested citizens relating to proposed new procedural pro-cedural rules for all hearings before the Board. According to board Chairman Chair-man Gregory Williams, these meetings are an important opportuni-' ty for people to contribute to setting new procedural rules. Meetings will be held in both morning and evening hours to accommodate working schedules. The first two public meetings are set for Cedar City, Iron County, on Thursday, Thurs-day, Nov. 3 at Southern Utah State Col lege. The first meeting will be at 10 a.m. A second meeting will be at the same location at 7 p.m. The public meeting schedule moves to Price, Carbon County, for 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. meetings on Thursday, Nov. 10. An evening meeting at 7 p.m. will also be held in Coalville, Summit County, on Thursday, Nov. 10. Southeastern area meetings are set for Moab, Grand County, on Friday, Nov. 11 at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. The final public session will be during dur-ing and after the regular Board meeting in Vernal, on Thursday, Nov. 17 aio a.m. in the Sheraton Hotel. Williams noted that members of the Board have been actively pursuing development of new hearing rules since appointment of a new Hoard of Oil, Gas and Mining by the Governor last July. Board member Constance Lundberg has carried the lead In preparing the draft rules. The new rules are intended lo clarify hearing procedures and make board hearings a productive experience for all persons involved in the oil. gat and mining industries in t'tah. Following these public hearings the board will adopt the rules to be effective Dec. 1, The adjustment period that is now underway for Mountain Bell will continue con-tinue until the end of the year, and is being called "functional divestiture," according to Bell officials. "Functional divestiture means we're beginning to operate as if it were already January," said Ken Hill, Utah Public Relations Manager for Mountain Moun-tain Bell. "The idea is to practice divestiture changes several months early, while everyone is working for the same company. In that way, we should be able to iron out problems more easily than we would after the split has officially occurred." Two new facilities have opened up as a result of functional divestiture. An equipment sales office for business customers opened in mid-October in Salt Lake's Brickyard Plaza. A business and records center has opened open-ed for residential customers at the Metro Business Park. Bob Robinson, manager of the new business location, said it houses about 170 employees. Dean Hill, manager of the new resident location, said it houses about 130. Both centers may be reached via phone by customers with questions. Business customers in Salt Lake Metropolitan area may reach the business center by calling 483-4301. Customers in all other areas of Utah should call 1-800-523-3605, while Idaho and Montana customers should call 1-800-523-3617. Resident customers in the three-state area who have questions ques-tions should reach the new resident center by calling 1-800-555-8111. The changes will take some adjusting, ad-justing, but both Robinson and Hill say the process of ordering telephone service ser-vice is no more complicated than buying buy-ing electrical appliances. "Divestiture will provide customers with a wide variety of suppliers, products pro-ducts and services." said Hill. "That fact puts more responsibility on those customers to be smart, thorough shoppers shop-pers and to compare products and services ser-vices before buying."
