Politics... continued from page 2 changes, it appears that the sheriff stepped on a few toes of the "good old boys club." Those who said they wanted change, but obviously wanted it done their way. Here's the amazing part. When their noses were put out of joint, seeing that the sheriff wasn't taking very good directions, they soon started a movement to get him out. These good old boys who hide behind their seemingly, righteous faces and positions started to work, try ing to convince the very people who elected him, that the sheriff was not doing them justice. That even though he had delivered them a top notch department, that they'd asked for, he was not what they wanted and should not be in office. The public is now watching, and some even helping, in the political crucifixion of a man who did nothing noth-ing more than the very citizens in this county do, who write a check on Friday, knowing their funds won't be in the bank until Monday. The admirable thing to me about this situation, is that Sheriff Meacham admitted to what was done, and was willing to take a just punishment. When a common cover-up job with the usual j)ack of lies we've all become so accustomed accus-tomed to, could have most likely gotten the sheriff off the hook. So now that they have ousted Sheriff Meacham, the good old boys are pushing us to support their new candidate for sheriff. But remember remem-ber that the good old boys with a case of the coffce-shop-gods, who plot daily, how this county should be run are going to want their boots adequately licked by (he new sheriff sher-iff and commissioners.

I was impressed by the skills these students demonstrated in their planning and in their presentation. presen-tation. (Most of the candidates were present pre-sent but no one from the present board or district office was there. I was disappoihtedTo learn only one board member had sent his regrets.) The students at AVHS really have it together! They know who they are, what they want and have taken the responsibility of putting together a realistic plan of how and where they want to be when they reach adulthood. One young woman touched my heart when she spoke of her previous previ-ous school being willing to let her graduate with less than an adequate education. She told of seeking and finding the AVHS program which challenges her to do her best so that she can take an active part in her own children's education. My son has struggled for years in the school system. Thanks to quality guidance from both high schools, he had enrolled in AVHS and become responsible for his own education. He is carrying a 4.0 grade average, but more than that, he has respect for himself, his mentor and teachers, Dr. Pease, fellow students and....me. He now has confidence and pride in himself him-self and his school. Earlier this year, I was upset when a Uintah High teacher referred to AVHS as a lows" school and (he students attending (here as "locrs."

Tucker announced that he will retire April 30. Over the past 10 years, when Tucker was the Forest Supervisor of the Ashley National Forest, he recalls re-calls both challenges and accomplishments. accom-plishments. "With the bark beetle epidemic of the early 1980s, we were faced with several critical problems: not only slowing the spread of the infestation, infesta-tion, but removing dead and dying trees." The dead trees posed a fire hazard and impaired the scenic quality of the forest especially along U.S. 191. "We mounted a massive 10-year timber salvage operation to achieve these goals and we had the support of the public. I'm very proud of that." During his tenure. Tucker emphasized empha-sized improving facilities and services ser-vices in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. He lists such improvements im-provements as the Little Hole Recreation Complex, the paved road from Dutch John to Little Hole, Hideout Boat Camp and the remodeled Red Canyon Visitor Center. "We've worked hard at making it a showcase of recreational opportunities," opportu-nities," he said.
