Photo by Charles Lowery Devils beat Carbon and lost to fast Provo team by Aaron Skabelund Once again, the Red Devils had to settle for a win at home and a loss on the road. Wednesday night the Carbon Dinos stayed close to Springville until the half, only trailing 31-25. But led by the Scott Hullinger and Matt Peterson shooting combo, the Devils won easily 75-53. Hullinger and Peterson were co-high co-high scores with 24 points a piece. Inside players Duaine Williams and Marc Penrod had 10 and 8 points, respectively. Carbon was led by Roger Cook with 14 points. After losing to Timpview in overtime on Wednesday evening, the Provo Bulldogs took out their frustrations and used the home court advantage to blow out the Red Devils 104-66. Springville was tied with the Bulldogs at seven, but then Provo made a 14 point run and the game was never close again. Provo shot excellently, combining superb passing and fast breaks that were simply too much for the Devils. Provo had four players in double figures: Mark Durrant with 24, Brian Santiago 22, Matt Rollins 21 (including five three pointers), and James Johnson added 14. Peterson and Hullinger had 20 and 15, respectively. Sophomore Brian Oakey added 12 points and was basically Springvilles only bright spot. The Red Devils are now 7-4 in league play and still tied with Spanish Fork for third place. They are 11-7 overall. The JV and sophomore squads both split each of their games, winning against Carbon and losing to Provo. This week the Devils host Uintah on Wednesday and undefeated Timpview Friday evening. The Sophomores play at 3:30, the JV at 5:30 and the Varsity at 7:30 p.m. See ya there. eyoir .Let us b ValeiSiiie You'll love us while we help you lose up to 25 pounds in six short weeks on our nutritionally sound weight- I XT- -1-..J.- J loss program, ino snou, no urugu T"x and no hunger!

Main 489-6730 Spanish Fork 265 N. Main 798-7947 by Mark Conroy I am a big fan of the Folkfest, and so it goes without saying that I was a teeny bit irritated with Creer and Co. after the last council meeting. This was the one where they refused to loan the Folkfest $35,000 this year. 1 did what I normally do in similar situations. I went home, got moderately oiled, and sat down in front of the typewriter. I wrote really terrible things about their mothers. When I got up the next morning, I crossed out all the profanity. I also deleted the stuff about them having the collective IQ of a single cob of corn. That only left me with a handful of unrelated words. I needed more. I needed the big picture. I needed some aspirin. I called John Hafen. Councilman Hafen has that tone of voice that I have come to associate with all consummate problem solvers. We talked about the Folkfest. The problem is this. Springville has a good deal going with the Folkfest Folk-fest and it has the opportunity to do the community an inestimable amount of good. The land behind the high school is being developed into an attractive park, the city has been endowed with $150,00 matching grant to spend, we are gaining national (even worldwide) recognition, and cities all over Utah would dearly love to take the Folkfest Folk-fest away from us. I wanted to know why the city council wouldn't help keep the Folkfest in Springville. I reached back into the olive drab section of my brain for my best buck-sergeant-to-general tone of voice. While one may say disparaging things to the average city councilman, only the criminally insane curse at people who could make them career potato peelers. Patiently, Councilman Hafen explained (no small task when you are dealing with a hungover columnist) the position of the city fathers with respect to the Folkfest. According to him, the issue of the Folkfest is not something the community has expressed sufficient interest in to warrant the expenditure ex-penditure of another 35,000 clams. I tore my hair. You gotta be kidding me, right? Springville LOVES culture. It provides such a pleasant contrast to quilting bees, rodeos, and organized dog fighting. It perfectly balances the low brow fun of the June carnival and it offers ample testimony that there is indeed intelligent life beyond our narrow borders. Springville is on its way, folks. Just what direction it is heading is the question. Fond memories of what Springville once was should not hinder us when it comes to making shrewd decisions for the future. The difference between the good old days and the bad old days is deciding what you want them to be before they get here. If Springville doesn't work harder at developing its future, the bad old days is just what we'll get. In California, a neighboring city to Anaheim is still kicking itself for having turned down the request of a man named Walt Disney. They forfeited millions in future taxes because of the lack of vision. Anaheim was once the size of Springville and only the narrow minded fail to see Springville eventually growing far beyond its own current boundaries. What kind of shape will we be in then? If we don't encourage the Folkfest to remain, it will go somewhere else. Provo and Orem have already asked for it. Let's not put ourselves in the position of Anaheim's neighbor. Let's not spend the future kicking ourselves because we were reluctant to hold on to a good thing when we had it. I suggest you take the time to call the city councilmen and let them know how you feel about this. Two o'clock in the morning sounds like a good time to methey'll be home for sure then.

U.S. is 11 tli on life list A report entitled '"An Aging World," recently released by the Census Bureau shows that Japan leads the planet in life expectancy, with newborns able to look forward to 77.1 years of life. Sweden followed Japan with a life expectancy of 76.6 years. The United States finished 11th among the world's nations with a life expectancy of 74.6 years. By contrast, life expectancy in Bangladesh is only 48.7 years. Other findings of the report say that the world's elderly population is growing at a rate of 2.4 percent annually, much faster than the population as a whole. Sweden is the world's "oldest" country with 17 percent of its population aged 65 and over. In the U.S., only 12 percent of our population is aged 65 and over.
