Show Thursday, June 21, 2007 SPRINGVILLE HERALD Unsungheroes Editor: Every year since the inception in-ception of 'Hobble Creek Golf Course, we have had tremendous help, all volunteers, volun-teers, from golfers playing the course and especially the ladies and men's golf associations. This year has been no exception, Mary Ann Anderson, An-derson, president of the ladies golf association, had all the ladies take a plastic garbage sack and gather up all the garbage and debris de-bris from the entire golf course trying to keep the area beautiful and pristine. Brent Simons, president of the men's association, spearheaded the filling of all the divots on the course with sand and seed along with repairing all the ball marks on the greens.

The oil companies compa-nies respond to inquiries by saying that they are only passing higher crude prices on to customers. Here's what was passed on to us last year: Exxon Mobil reported $39.5 bil- iff ft. mm to 'Vi.rll;lli IT 1 years. Thanks to our staff for maintaining the "espirit de corp" in the operation and maintenance of the golf course. And thanks to our maintenance staff who actually ac-tually start work at 2 a.m. in the morning so they will not interfere with the golfers. golf-ers. All of our equipment has headlights so our employees em-ployees can work during the dark. So many people have exhibited unselfish service and shown unusual pride that we want to thank all of them on behalf of Springville City and Hobble Hob-ble Creek Golf Course. Savor the birdies! Sonny Braun PGA Professional Hobble Creek Golf Course lion in profits, Shell Oil reported re-ported $25 billion and poor ConocoPhillips only $15.5 billion. This is not income, this is profit. Exxon Mobil made $108 million in profit every single day of 2006. Recently I stopped at a Shell station in Cedar City. I asked a worker why the pumps were being torn out. The reply was because the current pumps cannot register over $4 per gallon. Guess who is going to pay for the new pumps. World energy rationing Editor. Accepted definitions of "genocide" generally involve in-volve the mass killings of people belonging to a particular par-ticular group. Selecting the black people in Africa for misery, disease and death by deliberately depriving them of life-saving DDT, as described in http:www.jbs. orgnode1603, is, therefore, consistent with the ordinary def initioa World energy rationing, by preventing the construction construc-tion of refineries and atomic atom-ic power plants, affects a much broader socioeconomic socioeconom-ic group. This group is perhaps per-haps best defined by those who are not in it. Al Gore, for example, flies about in expensive personal jet planes, lives in a home that uses 20 times the energy as that of ordinary ordi-nary people, and rides in gas-guzzling limousines. He obviously does not consider himself to be in the group who must submit to energy rationing. World taxation, rationing, ration-ing, and shortages of energy will hurt primarily the poor, lower, and middle classes suf f icientty to markedly increase in-crease their death rates.

If the city wants to use it, they can go ahead. But they had better not strip the old logo off old service trucks and city equipment. That would be a waste of money. I think that if they want to use the logo, they should put it on new equipment that they acquire. They should not waste money taking the old logo off the old equipment. It just seems like a waste of time and money that could be spent on fixing potholes. Matthew B. Liddiard Springville But not just in higher gas prices. Everything has to be shipped using petroleum-based products as the source of energy. Those costs will be passed on in the way of higher prices. We're caught in an upward up-ward spiral of cause and effect with only one real cause: Greed. We're about to be hung and it looks like we have to pay for the rope as well.

We began in 1982 and our 2007 festival opened June 9. I am commenting on a suggestion that festival directors di-rectors invite more groups than needed. This appeals initially, but the cold, hard facts are that we have no guarantee any of them will be lost in the process.

There were six persons arrested in Springville last week for driving drunk! There was also one DUI arrest in Mapleton. In addition to these, there were many persons per-sons cited for drinking. They could have been driving too. , We have been fighting this battle for years and years. Why to people drink and drive? They know better. Drunken driving is totally inexcusable. Don't these people understand that a DUI can cost them money! It can cost them their drivers license. It can land them in jail And it can be deadly. Drunken driving doesn't just involve drinking. It also includes those who take drugs. Even those who do not consider themselves a drug addict, but take medications that might cause them impairment in some way.. They, also, should not be driving. Driving is a serious responsibility and a privilege one cannot take lightly. When you drive, you have an obligation obliga-tion to keep yourself safe as well as any passengers you might have and to other motorists and pedestrians too. Thousands of people die on the highways of this country coun-try -each year as a result of drunk driving. Those seven who were caught (there were probably lots more who weren't caught) could have hit me or you, or my children or your children, or my grandchildren or yours. They' were lucky they were caught before something tragic happened. Statistics say that drivers under 30 years of age account ac-count for more than half of all drinking drivers who are killed in automobile crashes. Booze and cars are a deadly mix. Just one drink can impair the driver to the point that it takes double the time to react to an emergency situation. situa-tion. If you have been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, please DON'T DRIVE! Have a sober friend drive or call your parents or take a bus, whatever. But DON'T DRIVE! If you have friends you are drinking, volunteer to drive them to where they are going. I want to arrive alive, and I hope that those who drink do too. Springville Police report Springville police had 220 calls last week including includ-ing 37 for animal- related problems. Four juveniles, two male and two female, ages 15, 16 and 17, and an adult were detained by police last week. Zachary Phillips ter for our festival. We do well to provide food, lodging lodg-ing and transportation in Tennessee for those we can.

Here's to hoping that Springville will be open and running full speed in 2008. I will never forget the hospitality extended during our visit there.
