' '" ' , EPILOGUE October 19, 1995 For nine years, a loving, devoted companion compan-ion and friend, hiker and traveler, Pierre Denis Collin (Pea.air, Den.ee, Co.lean), Peetie, has today left our world for a better place, one without pain or sorrow. He left behind his indomitable spirit and bright eyes filled with admiration and trust for Jo-Ann, voyager. They gave each other joy and friendship and days filled with caring car-ing and support. Let us not forget the forgiving and loyal nature of this small creature of the spirit. Let me also love myself as he lo ed me. and show empathy to everyone and everything within my reach on this earth. In tin' end his heart grew so big it failed him. His struggle to not leave this world was valiant and he never gave up-only gave in. He contributed con-tributed so much to my life, taught me so much and he helped me believe in myself. Losing his warmth hurts me terribly, I truly miss him in everything I do. I want to hug him and tell him how much I care for him, and feel his tongue licking my feet, as he so passionately did every evening. 1 le greeted each day with enthusiasm and hope. Looking forward to the time we would spend together. He loved to be himself, whether it was barking at other animals, protecting his home or playing with his cats. I he world was his and he was ours for a while. I love you Pierre. No more memories to make, only those to remember. Editors note: Pierre was adopted in 1982 from Summit Co. Animal Control.

The StarNct Digital Advertising Insertion System computerizes broadcast pictures with better quality and cleaner images, according to officials from Mountain Cable Advertising, which serves as the local sales representative for TCI Cablevision. While the new technology is being introduced to TCI markets (TCI has more than 230.000 subscribers along the Wasatch Front) throughout the region. Park City was a natural choice for implementation of the new system because of its high cable penetration (about 81 percent of the homes in Park City are wired for cable) and its top-market draw for advertisers and community leaders, according to company sources. From a viewer's perspective, the aim of the new digital technology is to give subscribers 'in Park City a clear advantage literally in terms of video playback quality, which outpaces even the local network affiliates in terms of sound and video integrity. "Given its seclusion and surrounding mountain ranges. Park City has had reception problems with television signals in the past. Therefore, the city was a priority for us in terms of being able to deliver the best picture possible to viewers," said Derek J. Mattsson. general sales manager for Mountain Cable Advertising. Mountain Cable's new technology will also make an impact on Park City advertisers. Mattsson said. With cable commercial insertion on 15 networks available through Mountain Cable, "delivering the best-quality sound and picture available on a regular basis (will be) our primary benefit with this new system." he said. Centennial calendars now available A special Utah Centennial edition of the world renown and award-winning Utah Scenic Calendar for 1996 has arrived. This living history calendar combines the scenic , with the historic in 13 historic and 29 scenic shots thanks to the skill and eye of 12 professional photographers. "Our photographers have caught many of the best views of Utah from the cover shot of an early spring on Mt. Timpanogos to a rainbow arched over Red Canyon at Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area," said Janice Carpenter, calendar coordinator. "It clearly is a unique and one-of-a-kind calendar because of the state's upcoming Centennial celebration. Several of the scenic photos show the living history of Utah such as the Grafton ghost town near St. George, the old Fruita School House in Capitol Reef National Park, the Washington Cotton Mill and an old Cache Valley barn used as a 1920s billboard with the words, 'The Woman's Tonic! Dr. Pierce's . Favorite Prescription,' scrawled on it," described Carpenter. A new feature, exclusive to the Utah Centennial Calendar, is a monthly vignette of the scenicliving history photos. The month of April contains a beautiful photo of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, followed by a photo of the Bluff Cemetery accompanied by a description of how early Utahns worked hard to farm the desert soil under less than ideal conditions. Utah Travel Council publications editor, Stacey Clark, was responsible for writing the vignettes. The Utah Centennial Calendar displays a variety of photos including the Great Salt Lake, Angels Landing of Zion National Park, Hickman Bridge in Capitol Reef National Park, skiing the powder in the WasatchCache National Forest, and the bright yellow, red and orange autumn leaves on Boulder Mountain. As in the previous year, the Utah Scenic Calendar received world-class awards for the 1995 edition. It was rated among the very best in the world in the categories of graphic design, nature and scenic photography.

House agrees to Senate level of $1 billion Orton gets funding for rural home loans Rep. Bill Orton (D-Utah) succeeded in his effort to get the House of Representatives to agree to the Senate level of $1 billion in funding for the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) single-family single-family direct loan program. This decision followed an effort by Orton, Rep. Mike Castle (R-Dela.) (R-Dela.) and Rep. Rick Lazio (R-NY) (R-NY) last month to persuade Appropriations conferees to maintain full funding for this rural home loan program. ."This decision means many additional rural Utahns will be able to get a low down payment mortgage loan that they otherwise would not be able to secure," Orton stated. "I am pleased that the leadership of both houses listened to the concerns of Republican and Democratic House members, including myself, who represent rural areas." Earlier this year, the senate set the Farmers Home Administration Businessman believes quality not just pipe dream continued from D1 household CO testing. Strand also cautioned new home buyers to check that their water heaters are properly vented. He said he and Arsenault have found that 75 percent of the heaters they've seen in Park City are not vented correctly, which means they let CO escape, and use more energy than they should. Strand Heating and Air Conditioning can be reached at 647-3819. They offer preventative maintenance programs and 24-hour service. 9 Ik m 3?

This program provides low down payment mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income moderate-income families and individuals in rural areas. However, the House bill provided for only $ 550 million in loan authority. On Sept. 19, Orton and two Republican colleagues co-authored a letter urging Congressional conferees to adopt the senate's $1 billion level of funding. They were joined in this letter by 17 other house members. "I believe we were persuasive in making our case that this program plays a critical role in promoting homeownership in rural areas." Orton stated. "No other federal home ownership program targets low- and very low-income households, in helping them reach the American dream of owning a home. The average annual income of section 502 borrowers is only about $15,000. In fact, by law, 40 percent of all section 502 funds must go to families whose income does not exceed 50 percent of the median," Orion continued. On Oct. 6, the Chairman of the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, Joe Skeen, wrote Orion to inform him that house and senate conferees had agreed to the request to fund the Farmers Home direct loan program at $ 1 billion. The vote in the house to ratify this agreement took place last week. "Every year, I hear from many rural Utahns that they have been frustrated in their efforts to buy a home, when the Farmers Home Administration runs out of mortgage loan authority," Orton noted. "Our efforts to increase the level of loan authorizations for the next year means that many rural Utahns will not be denied the dream of owning their own home," Orton said.
