Long With the recent passing of Marie Paulson Hatch, this community has lost one of its most talented and beloved belov-ed citizens. Marie enjoyed helping others and she contributed much to the residents of Ashley Valley. She was an expert piano player and performed at over 3,000 funerals. It was said that she learned to play before she could hardly reach the keys or the foot pedals on the piano. She could also play very well on the old button style accordian, an instrument in-strument which her father, Johnie Rasmussen played so well in his day. It probably was from her fathers ability and love for the old time music that Marie and several of her sisters and brothers learned to play so well. It was you might say, a family trait or tradition. She along with her sisters Alma Smith and Vena Wardell joined with an old family friend, Newel Behunin and formed what was called,' Newels Harmony Four. This group for many years played for dances and socials throughout the area. Many a time, couiiiiesa numbers of us have enjoyed en-joyed the fine music which this group rendered. They played for years at the Golden Age Center here and the American Legion Hall in Jensen, Marie and her family were a very close knit group and would get together for almost any occasion and Tourism in Utah shifting from summer to winter Because of the development of winter ski resorts in the state, there has been a shifting in Utah tourism from the summer to the winter months over the past ten years. This point was emphasized in a study of transient room rental trends in Utah prepared by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. The report noted that ten years ago, 36 percent of Utah's room rental volume was concentrated in the July-September July-September quarter and only 16.5 percent per-cent was in the January-March period. By 1985, however, this distribution had shifted so that nearly 30 percent of the volume was in the January-March quarter and 27 percent was in the July-September July-September quarter. Room rentals by hotels, motels, motor lodges, inns and like public accommodations ac-commodations in Utah have increased increas-ed three and a half times during the past decade. Room rental volume climbed from $47.6 million in 1975 to $165.3 million in 1985, an increase averaging 13V-1 percent per year over this ten-year period. Between 1984 and 1985, however, the increase slowed down precipitately, and the rise in room rental volume last year was only on-ly 2' percent. Foundation analysts indicate that the two major factors accounting for the strong growth in room rentals over the past decade were the aforemen tioned development off the skiing industry in-dustry and the emergence of Utah as a convention center for national and regional conferences. The report points out that these developments have tended to level out the seasonality seasonali-ty factor in Utah's tourist business. Although there has been a shifting in Utah tourism, most counties in Utah continue to rely on the summer months as their prime tourist season. In 22 of Utah's 2!) counties, the highest percentage of 1985 room rentals were recorded during the July-September quarter. Only four counties registered their heaviest room rental volume during dur-ing the January-March quarter. Utah law allows counties to impose a transient room tax of not more than 3 percent for the purpose of establishing, financing and promoting recreational, tourist, and convention bureaus. All 29 Utah counties have levied this tax and rates range bet ween Us percent and 3 percent, with most counties now employing the ;t percent rate. Last year ( liiiij). tins tas produced $4 9 million for county tourist and convention bureaus. In addition to the transient room tax. room rentals In Utah also are subject to general state and lx'al salts s-laxes These total general sales tax rates range up to 64 percent in the resort communities of Park City, Spi tngdale and Brian Head andg'i In Alta. Thus, the enmbined sales tax on a room rental ren-tal could be as high as ! t percent a! Alia (6U percent general lax plus .1 cm if Ut filiations ("! Julie Haniblin & Buck Bynum Saturday, AupiM 23.

You know it states in the bible how great is ones reward who uses and shares his talents.Well I know of no one who did more so than Marie, and she did so with such willingness. She was at her most enjoyable hour when sitting at a piano thumping the keys. Yes, the big smile which she always wore gave full evidence of this. She was indeed a very special and generous person. With her passing, there remains only on-ly one of the original Harmony Four group and that is her sister Alma. Vena and Newel passed away during 1985. It's our hope that Alma along with friends and family members continue con-tinue sharing this special entertainment entertain-ment with those of us who love it so much. It's like an old time special recipe, there's just no substitute. They say there's nothing much better for the body and soul than good old time music. In closing I am proud to have known and been friends to this fine lady, and I am grateful for the services she has given to my family and friends. She will be missed by all who knew her without question. One thing for sure if they have piano's in heaven, Marie's there playing and tapping her foot and doing the broom dance during intermission. percent transient room tax). Salt Lake County has the largest room rental volume. During 1985, room rentals in Salt Lake County amounted to $79,844,000 or 48.3 percent of the state total. This was followed by Summit County with room rentals totaling total-ing $23,753,000. These two counties accounted ac-counted for nearly 63 percent of Utah's 1985 room rental volume. According to the Foundation study, room rentals in Uintah County totaled total-ed $2,947,000 during 1985. This represented a decrease of -12.6 percent from the $3,372,000 recorded four years earlier in 1982. The report shows that 24.4 percent of the 1985 room rental volume in Uintah County was registered in the January-March quarter, 23.5 percent in the April-June quarter, 37.6 percent in the July-September July-September quarter and 14.6 percent in the October December quarter.

Brigadier General Matthews, head of the Utah Guard system greeted the academy delegates. In his speech, he advised the students to question what they hear and read. He told them to challenge speakers on points and opinions opi-nions with which they do not agree. . Speakers presented information on how it felt to lose freedoms. A Polish immigrant described what life is like in a Soviet dominated society. She lived in Poland prior to communist take over and was eventually imprisoned im-prisoned for opposing the Soviets. A tour of the Utah State Prison gave the delegates a first hand look at what it is like to lose individual freedoms.
