Show IageTwo - The Springvilie Herald - July 3, 1991 Heave planters alone! Dear Editor c As a concerned citizen of Springville, I have paid attention to the beautiful planters along - Main Street between 200 and 300 South. Some of our merchants on Main Street took it upon themselves them-selves to buy and plant the pots. It took time, effort and money to , do this. It doesn't' stop here, they also require constant care and upkeep. Latch, the plants have been pulled up in the mornings and are . having to be replanted. We need EDITORIAL Call 489-3657 today Once again the City of Springville will be host to hundreds of visitors from foreign countries during the week of July 13-20 when we participate in producing the sixth World FolkfesL For the past five years hundreds of citizens in Springville and Mapleton and surrounding cities have opened their hearts and their homes and provided food, lodging and other kindnesses to the many people who came to dance, play music and entertain us in a wonderful cultural exchange. And once again more homes are needed to place the visitors that will come to Springville this year. Many beds, many meals, hospitality hospitali-ty and friendship are needed to make our visitors comfortable and feel welcome in our city. Volunteers are needed now so that housing can be accomplished before the visitors arrive. Many hosts of the past five folkfests have told of the marvelous experiences that they and their families have had through this close association with people from another land. Some have had bad experiences it is true, but the good far. outweigh the bad. Some unpleasant things can be expected whenever you get this many people together. Many of the host families have grown so close to their visitors that they have continued those friendships and have even visited and stayed in the homes of their foreign friends. What better way to close the gap between America and other countries and to realize peace in the world. It is a wonderful opportunity for a family to learn about other people in the world and their culture. It is a way that they can give of themselves without leaving their homes and make impressions that will reach into the future. Homes are still needed for the performers. Will you open your home and your heart to someone that you have never met...someone with different ways...someone who might have a different skin co!or...someone who might not speak English? If you do, you will find that those strangers are people just like you. They have families and jobs and homes and ideals and hopes and dreams. They want all of the things you want in life. They just do things a little differently than you do. And that difference is what is so interesting and what makes the exchange so exciting. , Don't just think about it, plan now to host some oLour visitors. They will be.here the week of July 13-20 and you would be expected to provide a bed, bathroom facilities, most meals, some transportation transporta-tion and lots of love and friendship. Open your home and your heart and volunteer. Call 489-3657 today.

Respectfully, Sandra Snow The Springville Herald COMMENT PAGE - 1 - Thanh you to Springville citizens To the citizeas of Springville: It is with love in our hearts that we thank the citizens of Springville for the fine tribute paid to our mother, Velda R. Widdiso.i. She was truly a fine lady doing her best to teach us by example. She taught us dependability by always being to work early and leaving late. She taught us about integrity, humility and honesty by the way she handled the city's finances. She taught us compassion compas-sion as she gave some of you call before cut-off time. She taught us Flag will be retired at ceremony Dear Editor. Approximately one year ago, a Navy veteran, with children attending at-tending Tender Loving Care for Kids, made a significant contribution. contribu-tion. Upon his discharge from the Navy, the Navy awarded him a flag that had flown over his ship for one day. It was a sacrifice for him to donate that same flag for the children at TLC. The personal story behind the flag's donation and its connection to classmates is important. Such connections make it much easier for children to Gfzen thinks ivos too tough Citizens of Springville: Rest easy folks-we have a lady policewoman on the force! And is she tough! The name Lady Rambo comes to mind. We had our first encounter with her last week when my 15-year-old son and his friend were out delivering flyers on a motorcycle motorcy-cle he and a buddy had bought at a yard sak for $25. They wanted to buy r. fishing boat to spend the . summer trying to catch the,; big-; ones, and were having a yard sale' to help raise funds. They were driving on Houtz Avenue when the lady officer came up behind with lights flashing. My son pulled off the road and waited for her. She questioned him and found that he did not have a drivers' license, and the motorcycle was not registered as he only rarely used it to go to his friend's home and back. Finding that out, she immediately put the accused felon in handcuffs, and placed him in the back of the police car. He remained there for some 20 minutes until we arrived home from the grocery store. She wrote him up for not having a valid driver's license and for riding rid-ing an un-rcgistered vehicle, which was understandable. Meanwhile, Ralph's Towing was summoned to tow the dreaded vehicle to impound. im-pound. (Bear in mind that this was not a noisy dirt bike or quad runner, but a mild-mannered street bike). The neighbors couldn't help but notice all this commotion and summoned my other son who lives on that street. He came out and asked if the boy could be released to him as he was his brother and she told him that he. had to go to the police station and have his parents come and get him. We have never had to go to the police station to pick up a motorcycle driver. ' Upon questioning Chief Bowers Bow-ers I found that the lady was, within her rights to do all of those things, but I think she was a little over zealous. This boy is clean cut, mild mannered, and a good! kid, and I see no reason for her to treat him like this. To throw the book at him was ridiculous. A warning would have been plenty. I shudder to think what Ms.; Rambo would do if she came up against a real criminal! It's a scary thought. Even if it had been his fourth offence-anything-I could Fireworks Utah's foothills and wildlands are ripe for fire. Careless use of fireworks over the 4th of July could spark a major wildfire. "Fire conditions are extremely dangerous fight now," says State , Forester Richard Klason. "Each ' year people cause 55-65 percent of all wildfires. This summer, Utah's wildlands are covered with thick, tall grass that is ready to burn." The State Forester, the USDA Forest Service, and USDI Bureau of Land Management are asking Utahns to be especially with fireworks, fire-works, campfires, and cigarettes during 4th of July celebrations. ! unconditional love as she served all of you, regardless of your position posi-tion in life, the very same. She taught us to have hope and courage cour-age because things were not always al-ways the way we wanted them. She taught us to laugh, joke and to smile for fear you might cry. Most of all, she taught us sacrifice which was always foremost in her life both for her work and most of all, her family. The many tributes that were given to mother in floral offerings, by expressions of sympathy, the moments of silence honored, the city flag at half-mast, and the learn the importance of the flag and the great nation it represents. That flag was to be retired during the week of July 4th. A special ceremony thanking Don Rich for the contribution he made has been planned. We realize the flag was more tattered and worn than what it should be. However, there was special significance that the flag remain for that retirement retire-ment ceremony. In the name of patriotism, someone trespassed on private property and stole that flag. In the name of patriotism, another person accepted stolen police action on teen understand. Kids tend to hate police officers anyway and things like this don't help. I do appreciate the police department and all they do to keep our community a safe place, and they have been helpful to me on numerous occasions, but I just couldn't let this one slip by. Thanks, Myrna Jelters P.S. I can't help but think that a lot of our juvenile problems here in the city would be curtailed if the city would spend some money mon-ey on a rec center or some type of recreation for the kids here.

What kind of lesson do children chil-dren learn from people so quick to judge and condemn? At TLC, teachers and students alike, do respect and honor the flag. We resent implications to the contrary by the Springville Herald and Mr. Hollcy. We hope that our flag will be returned. The children are particularly disappointed that "their" flag might not be available for the retirement ceremony.
