He talked about the advice that was given to him about how to be a leader. This "advice was to copy the style of the old western wagon master whose biggest challenge was to get the wagons moving and not to be distracted dis-tracted by the noise of the dogs that always started barking when the wheels started turning." Then he comments on the "criticism from those focused on the unessential." unessen-tial." Then another comment, com-ment, "The barking was ignored." I'm not sure if he was referring to me as one of the barking dogs, I did write to him and the other councilmen to express my concerns over the plans to replace the City Office, Li- Spririgvllle Herald 269 6.400 South SprrrtSfvilte, (JT 84663 Art edition of The Daily HerafcJ 3 Lee Enterprises, fries, Newspaper SoSstrtoffers 6 defiwy ferric ....37'5-5i03 Hews i Adversary .,..,,.,,,A.,,,.v,.4g-56St fax...,...,..,.......,.,..-...,..,.,...4iS7021 SpringtfSe Herald.

In past issues the Mayor has said that he would like to hear from us and know how we felt about the things going on in our city; so I wrote him. I personally am not in favor fa-vor of removing the Library-from Library-from the City Park, where the shady trees make it inviting in-viting and a pleasant place to be. The City's plan is to move the Library over where the Fire Station exists. ex-ists. That will a be hot and uninviting corner. I don't presume to know the answers on what is best for replacing all of the buildings, and why they all need to be done at the same time? I do believe that a new Police Department should be built, but I don't agree that it should be put in the City Park area. Why can't a City Hall and Police Department be put somewhere else? I watched while the Physical Facilities building at the "Y" was retrofit ret-rofit for earthquakes, without with-out taking down the building, build-ing, why can't that be done with the Fire Station? 3 " sa A JH V m, ft ft imwmr mwwm 'oil (.OiKsini acL-J Call us today to learn more! I get the feeling that the way the plan is set up, and once the buildings are down, then we won't have any choice when it comes to funding them. We won't have any choice but to Vote for the bonds that will be required. Who will vote against a bond to build a Library, because then we will need one. I hope you will rethink your plan and try to keep the City Park just that. Mayor you may see yourself your-self as the wagon master, but I would hope you might think of us, as the oxen that pull the wagon. Mack Boyack Springville LOST must Editor: In the mid 1980's, a call for ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) ran into stiff oppisition and it got nowhere. Proposed again in 2004 by Senator Richard Lugar (R-Indiana), it died when then Senate Majority Leader. Bill Frist managed to block it. But now, ratification has been urged by President Bush. It should be rejected. The treaty would place the world's oceans (70 percent per-cent of the earth's surface) under United Nations control. con-trol. It would establish a new UN Seabed Authority with the power to regulate fishing, fish-ing, mining and drillling for energy products beyond 12 miles from any coastline, and it is poised to enable the UN to gain financial independence in-dependence through taxing those who gather products from oceans Further, U.S. submarines and those of other nations Local residents graduate The following local students stu-dents recently graduated from Westminster College in Salt Lake City.

I am sure Doug would be so honored and humbled. hum-bled. Doug loved the game of golf, but more importantly impor-tantly he loved all those he was able to associate with through the game of golf. We are so comforted by this tribute to a wonderful man. We sincerely thank you. Julie Oldroyd and family be defeated would no longer be able to patrol the oceans without UN permission. The late Elizabeth Borgese, the prime mover mov-er behind LOST, was an ardent admirer of Karl Marx. She always championed the UN's call for "sustainable "sustain-able development," a thinly disguised teerm for international inter-national socialism. In a 1999 speech, she stated her hope for a "new world order." or-der." Her strong support for ratification of LOST tells plenty about the pact. Even though President Bush supports ratification of this dangerous treaty, it should be blocked. Support from two-thirds of the senators sen-ators "present" is needed for entangling the U.S. in this additional tentacle of the already huge UN octopus. octo-pus. The Senate should defeat de-feat the call for ratification of LOST. Gordon Norman Springville sional communication.
