Show 20 Sim Exymfldvcrtlscf Wedndoy, August 13, 1986 Stargazers awed at meteor shower Maeser Enid Hatch Phone 789-3150 Whiterocks Virginia Ferguson Phone 353-4584 Perseid meteors were the stars of the show for a pleasant evening at Steinaker Lake State Park late Sunday Sun-day and early Monday morning. " The Perseids are thought to be bits of debris from a comet named Swift Tuttle, last seen in 1862. They travel through space along the same orbit as the comet. The earth passes through this stream every year in mid-August. Families and individuals who gathered for the meteor shower party, par-ty, hosted by Steinaker Lake Stake Park and Utah Field House of Natural History State Park, -were wrapped in blankets, sprawled in lawn chairs and seated in the beds of their trucks. The audience was fairly hushed until a good shooting star flew across the sky then a roar would come up from the crowd. The action began Sunday at about 10 p.m. and a few stragglers hung on until 2 p.m. watching for meteors which appeared about one per minute after midnight. The majority of the meteors quickly incinerated when they hit the atmosphere. Others left a long silvery tail as they crossed the sky. Hosts for the party were John Walkenhorst and Peter Laraba of the Parks Service. Peter, who has a broad knowledge of astronomy, pointed out the positions of constellations constella-tions and planets and answered questions ques-tions about the Perseids meteors. A light breeze moved a fine cloud cover across the stars, but most of the stars remained visible. One group had a telescope set up which made it possible possi-ble to see several of Jupiter's moons. The group met in the picnic parking park-ing area at the park for the star show, away from the city lights. Laraba said, "We would like people to become more acquainted with astronomy and . enjoy this phenomenon. It is our pleasure to have them in the park to observe the meteors." Laraba is the curator of the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park and Walkenhorst is the supervisor of Steinaker Lake State Park and also oversees Flaming Flam-ing Gorge Recreation Area.

This nerson should be innovative vJ-I and relentless in reducing unnecessary costs thus reducing the tax burden of this county. I've worked as a controller of two corporations corpora-tions where these management techniques were used daily, and I can impliment such techniques as Auditor. The budget, by some is used as a reflection of what has hap pened in the past. This is not nor ever has been the purpose of a budget. The budget should be a control - controlling spending by adhering to limits established by the budget, and ensuring that elected officials comply with state and local laws. I intend to use the budget as a tool of control, ensuring the efficient use of your tax dollar. Economic conditions have changed rapidly and severely. To combat com-bat these conditions calls for innovation, experience, training and energy. As an independent auditor, I've helped to audit both counties coun-ties and cities. I can offer the experience, as a Certified Public Accountant, Ac-countant, the training, the innovation, and the energy.
