Family values by Keith C. Olsen In the 1992 election, when Vice President Dan Quail made his Murphy Brown speech, liber als were all over him. Who does he think he is? What right has he got to suggest that one lifestyle is better than any other lifestyle? It doesn't take a genius to recognize that America is changing. chang-ing. In spite of all the liberal rhetoric about the freedom to do what we want, I'm not so sure we are better off now than we were in the early 1930's when I was a kid. We did not have the abundance that we have now. But the streets were safer. Parents did not have to worry about drive-by shootings",' muggings or crack cocaine: Adults could sit on the porch in the cool of the evenings and visit with their neighbors. Children, Chil-dren, God bless them, made up their own fun. We had as much fun, maybe more, playing kick the can, stick ball, run sheep run or anti-i-over, than today's children chil-dren have with the latest CDs or computer games. We did not have songs glorifying glori-fying the killing of police or victimizing women. You can argue, it's because we do a better job of reporting the news, but we did not have as many murders or suicides and we did not kill the unborn like we do today. The standard of decency has been lowered. Now it's all right to lie, if no one catches you lying. It is all right to rob and steal, if no one catches you. The lowering of standards might me likened to a boat on the St. Lawrence Law-rence River above Niagara Falls. If we get too close, we cross the line of no return. Don't you remember Sodom and Gomorrah, the Roman Empire and Pompeii? mm WEST REALTY r . v ' , t I V, BARRY CM ALLEMSWORTH . 372-1530 Ajsocittt Brokif, REALTOR EXPERIENCE IS GOOD 20 rwvi al utitIM Mfcrs wd buywt Call m lor ill four RmI EstittNatds David Harper, son of Taylor and Miriam Harper of Mapleton.

Elliot Cameron, chairman of the Utah Pioneer Sesquicentennial Celebration Coordinating Council. Coun-cil. "He is a clear example of why this year's celebration of "The Spirit of Pioneering" is so important. It honors those who worked to build our great state. " Green Flake was one of three African-Americans who were members of the vanguard party of Mormon Pioneers which entered the Salt Lake Valley in July of 1847. He was born in January 1828 in North Carolina, and was a slave of Jordan Flake. In 1843 Jordan Flake's son James, along with his family, joined the Mormon Mor-mon Church. They later moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, to avoid persecution. Green was baptized in the Mississippi River. As the Mormon pioneers made preparations for the journey West in 1847, Flake sent Green with enough supplies to assist Brigham Young's vanguard party. par-ty. He was also instructed so send the outfit back with those who would be returning and remain to build a house for the family upon their arrival. When James Flake's party arrived in the Salt Lake Valley the following October, they were thankful that Green had built a log house in Union, the first town settled in Utah outside of Salt Lake. Green also worked alongside the pioneers by planting plant-ing crops and building houses. Later, he and others traveled back East to aid other pioneers who were headed West. It is speculated that Flake was given his freedom between 1852 and 1860 when Mrs. James Flake moved to California after the death of her husband. , Soon afterward Green Flake was employed by Brigham Young. Through his hard work and honest dealings, Flake acquired ac-quired property in Union in 1860. On his farm he continued to work hard providing for his wife Martha, and children, Lu-cinda Lu-cinda and Abraham. In 1885, after Martha's death, he moved to Idaho but continued to have close ties to Utah. He also journeyed to Salt Lake in 1897 to help celebrate the 50-year 50-year anniversary of the pioneer's arrival. He died October 20, 1903 and was buried in Union. Some of his descendants still live in Salt Lake. According to 1996 Utah Department De-partment of Employment Security figures, today more than 14,000 African-Americans call Utah home. 'While only constituting close to 0.7 percent of the state's population, their history has enriched Utah's past, and their present contributions continue to enhance our state," said Cameron. miwiifl n mi hi if :i ". l .nwi " Fastino Gonzales, second from right and a senior at Springville High School, was a first place winner in the Richard A.
