Show SPRINGVILLE HERALD Thursday, February 14, 2008 Numbers Editor: Thanks for the EDITORIAL EDITO-RIAL "Give Residents Complete Data" in last week's paper. It was very informative as to the way city leaders spin "selected results" from a survey paid for by citizen's tax money. They presented their agenda instead of presenting present-ing the true results of the survey, thereby misleading mislead-ing our city resident on some very important city issues. If it hadn't been for that editorial most would have thought that the special spe-cial edition newsletter of "CITY SOURCE" was a true representation of the survey. But if you were to read the small print at the bottom "Statistics shown are calculated based upon those that either agreed The Springville Herald Customer Service 375-51 03 489-5651 fax 489-7021 239 E 400S.

Apparently those citizens citi-zens are not informed, don't know what direction direc-tion our city government is taking, or if they are receiving good value for their city taxes. So city government is not doing a good job explaining what they are really up to by that 35. Perhaps those that neither nei-ther agree or disagree would have an opinion if the "Wagon Master" took the time to give a true and accurate accounting of the "State of our City" and if a survey conducted for residents resi-dents was accurate and complete regardless of whether the data is good, bad or indifferent. On the front page of the paper the "State of our City" first sentence, "I've never been big on traditions tradi-tions but there has been a precedent of government leaders to write an annual an-nual report on their area of responsibility"." What's with that? I though that "traditions" were what our city was built on. But mmm 'mmm'i m oiunguoio it In) fez-- - . I it , V 4 UDONTICS D.M.D., RC.

After his funeral, which was well at- tended (even by our local Congressman), I wanted to know more about the acci- dent than appeared in the Daily Herald. I called the investigating officer and asked him if the man who ran into Albert Burns was an illegal alien. The officer said that he did not know because he was not allowed to ask. If this is how our of ficers are muzzled in Utah, I am living in the wrong state. Hernandez was charged with negligent homicide and booked. Two days later he was out of jail and probably on his way to Mexico. Hernandez Her-nandez was driving with a denied drivers license and had no vehicle insurance, How long are our political leaders going to allow us to be killed by illegal aliens, which I have found out to be so in this case, Obviously he must have been working for someone who needs to be found and sued for everything he has! Albert's wife deserves to be compensated for his death. It would seem that you can be killed just going for your mail these days. Al was a great American and a dedicated patriot. I know he will be sorely missed. Gordon Norman Springville Historical Continued from page 1 either alcohol and opium or a combination of both.

At the next meeting tney wiu noia a public hearing to discuss policies regarding parking in residential and commercial transition areas. As citizens, are you concerned about nearby businesses business-es that might impact parking use at your home? Maybe you have other parking questions to address. If you have concerns, you need to go to city council meeting and let the council know what they are. One wonders at those in the community who do lots of complaining about what the city is doing, but do not take the opportunity to voice their opinion. Some say, that it doesn't do any good because the city fathers do what they want to do. What those people do not realize is that government on any level is a compromise because of the difference of opinions. If you don't tell the city council members how you feel about something, then they do not know. They do their best to consider what everyone expresses to them and act for the best good of the community. They are not experts ex-perts any more than each of us are. They are trying their best to serve the citizens and make this a better place to live. The city councils in Springville and Mapleton even give citizens the opportunity to contact them by mail or e-mail if they don't want to' appear before the council. Both councils are interested in hearing your concerns and possible solutions. In Springville e-mail to contact springville.org. You can read the public notices each week in this newspaper news-paper or go to the city websites: www.springville.org or wwwjnapleton.org and read them, as well as see what is on the agendas for the city council meetings. Are you doing all you can to make your city a better place? Springville Mayor Gene Mangum wrote in his February letter to the city that, "Balancing the budget; attracting business, building roads and bridges, imple menting master plans, and keeping all the rountine functions func-tions of a city in balance are not easy assignments. They all take vision, perseverance, patience and a good sense of humor." They also take the support of citizens. In Mapleton Mayor Laurel Brady's February letter to the city, she talks about how Mapleton residents have a long tradition of volunteer service and how citizens willingly serve on various recent weeks, a number of vacancies on our Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, Adjust-ment, our Transportation Committee, and to serve in other oth-er challenging positions throughout the city," she said. Both cities continue to need volunteers to serve in various vari-ous capacities. They also need citizen input. Everyone has good ideas. Maybe yours will be the one that will solve a problem. Society medicines, etc., to improve health now. And the dispensing dis-pensing of drugs has gone almost complete circle from days of say the 1930's when varius compounds were concocted by the druggist for dispensing. Now drugs come to the drug store from various vari-ous drug manufacturing companies throughout' the country, pills ready to Mitchell Continued from page 1 he sees himself as a teacher above anything else. He said he would be interested in helping coach baseball at the high school but doesnt know if he will have the time. Taylor Baker, a sophomore sopho-more at SHS who played on the football team last year and plans to return re-turn next year, said he is pleased Mitchell is going to be the new coach. "I think he'll be a good coach. He has a lot of experience and meet the first and third Tues- boards and commissions.

Come and learn about dispensing of drugs, the great role that pharmacies play in everyday life, and about the drug stores in Springville. There will be visual displays for viewing. view-ing. I think he can take us to state, hopefully by my senior se-nior year," Baker said. Marcus Case, a ninth-grader ninth-grader who has been playing in the ninth-grade football program, said he believes players will benefit ben-efit from Mitchell's experience; experi-ence; Mitchell may also be able to attract scouts to the SHS program, Case said. "It will probably be an advantage ad-vantage for us. He knows almost every position and how to play it," Case said. |
