My daughter is one of those young people. Since she was our "Late in Life" child, instead of learning to golf, or join some club, we have gone to PTA meetings, swimming swim-ming and dancing lessons and all her school programs. Instead of having lots of quiet evenings at home or taking a quick trip somewhere, we were shopping for prom dresses, chaperoning chap-eroning field trips and helping with homework and Reflections entries. Since we live across from the high school, we have had out house filled at lunch and our fridge emptied at the same time. We have helped with school plays, cast parties, choir tours and dinners. We have become friends with some of the nicest people in the world, our daughter's teachers. We have become friends with our daughter's friends, and in turn with their parents whom we have worked with on different projects. And you know what? I have had a ball. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world. This is part of the joy of life, living the everyday things and seeing our young people grow and achieve. Good luck and best wishes to all you graduating seniors, and thanks Jill, for keeping me young, but now, could I just have a short nap?

Due to growth in Mapleton, as well as lack of information concerning water rights, the irrigation company has been faced with more debris in ditches, children playing in ditches, and unauthorized construction con-struction of water ways. As a.i irrigation board, we have two main concerns: The first being the young people playing in ditches. Please be aware of the danger that the unpredictable water flow can have for young people. It is senseless to lose a young life because they were allowed to play in an irrigation ditch. Secondly, the debris (grass clippings, garbage, toys, etc.) that get thrown into ditches causing floods and other problems. People are also performing unauthorized construction to water ways. For the safety of our citizens, as well as trying to keep costs at a minimum, Mapleton Irrigation Company will be enforcing the laws of irrrigation rights. 73-1-14 Interfering with waterworks or with apportioning officials-Penalty & Liability Any person who in any way unlawfully interferes with, injures, destroys or removes re-moves any dam, headgate, weir, casing, valve, cap or other appliance for the diversion, apportionment, measurement or regulation of water, or who interferes with any person authorized to apportion water while in the discharge si his duties, is guilty of a misdemeanor, misde-meanor, and is also liable in damages to any person injured by such unlawful act. 1953 76-1 0-202 Taking water but of turn or excess amount-Damaging facilities.
