Morris Seeks Two-Year County Commission Seat Brent C. Morris of Orem announced today that he will seek the -2 year County Commission seat. Morris senses the citizens want a change and want a fiscal conservative who will administer tax dollars as a sacred trust. He is supportive of President Reagan's recent reaffirmation of cutting the budget including those cuts that will be passed through to local governments. "If the national budget is to be balanced every government level will have to make sacrifices." Morris is prepared to reflect the conservative philosophy through his own staffing, voting record, and county administraiton. Morris believes governmental efficiency is the greatest tool to keep taxes low. He was instrumental in forming and staffing the Task Forces which are presently involved in reviewing and, streamlining county.., government and it's functions. He is committed to the public employee who delivers the services. Morris wants to insure that their commitment and competency is rewarded and improved. "A public official should be professionally qualified, honest, a hard worker, conservative, and should view the government as a service not a profession or means of employment," Morris stated in a recent interview. "The issues of Thistle and Utah Lake need to be resolved by private enterprise not by tax dollars. We must approach zoning changes by educating ourselves with the zoning study completed in 1976 and work closely with the city governments, agriculture, and citizens to implement any needed changes." He states that Utah County Government needs to adhere to state mandated brent c. morris programs and not proliferate with unmandatedsocialprogrsms." For the past year and a half Morris has worked with the Commission Office and in that capacity has been intimately involved with the day-to-day issues affecting Utah County. He has worked closely with the Cities and States involving Thistle, Jordan River, 9-1-1 Emergency System, jail billings, and State Government office centralization. Morris, who is a decorated Vietham Veteran lives in Orem with his wife, Denise, and their three children. He graduated from the University of Utah in Sociology with a certificate in Criminology. Prior to his work with the County Government, Morris worked in law enforcement for nine years; the last two years as special investigator with the Economic crime Unit in the Utah County Attorney's Office.

Carter of Orem today announced his candidacy for Utah County Sheriff. Currently a detective with the Utah County Sheriff's Deaprtment, Carter has eight years of service with the Department. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Law Enforcement and Justice Administration. He is also a Certified Police Officer and graduate of the Utah State Police Academy. Carter is a member of the Utah Peace Officers Association, Foot-printers Foot-printers International, member of the Utah Peace Officers Association, and member of the Utah County Deputy Sheriff's Association. He also is active in community affairs and is a former candidate for the Alpine School Board. His philosophy calls for relentless pursuit of criminals until justice is served. Passing laws doesn't stop crime, it is enforcing the full weight of tough, crime-oriented law that stops crime," he says. Carter feels strongly that compliance to the law is directly related to the level of enforcement. "If we expect compliance to the laws legislators enact, we must have enforcement of those very same laws." Carter also is committed to the best possible police services at the most economical cost. He says law enforcement should be just as accountable to the public's monetary eye as any other part of government. If elected, Carter plans to promote an intensive crime prevention program in the school system, in church," and in civic r 1 SCOTT W. CARTER groups. He believes "deterring crime beats reporting crime." He also feels the sheriff's office should be service-oriented, looking our for victim's rights and seeing to the recovery and return of stolen property as well as pressing the courts for restitution. Carter favors a spirit of cooperation and assistance among the county's law enforcement agencies to prosecute the criminal element of society. He believes it is time to make definite plans to meet the future needs of law enforcement concerns by proposing innovative and technological changes to detect, apprehend and prosecute criminals.

If it does"it will cause wide-spread running. Rain forecasters are hesitant and cannot say, But indicated it is likely and may someday. Ancient Bonneville topped where the Provo Temple stands And covered all the lower enter-mountain lands. The Great Salt is full and rising very fast, And many folks hope the rains do not last. Damage to the adjacent roads and homes is a worry, too, And costing many million to both me and you. The Great Salt Lake Pavilion is all washed out, So no one can play there, dance, swim or shout. The State Park at Provo is filled with the lake, So patrons can't camp there, swim or skate. 'The Pioneers were driven to their valleys in the West; To move at this time would not be for the best.
