Show HQQUSES&QM The Mountain View girls captured first place in a field of 47 teams at Saturday's Brigham Young University Invitational track meet, finishing with a score of 75 points. Orem High School won the boys title with 68 points, and Mountain View was second at 62 12. The Orem girls also placed in the meet, coming in at 5th with 28 points. Mountain View's Ryan Andrus broke a state record, registering the fastest prep time in the 3,200 meters in Utah history. his-tory. Andrus run, clocked at 9:05.33, was a highlight of the meet. The previous record, 9:05.85, was set by Corbin Tal-ley Tal-ley of Bingham two years ago. Another state mark was set by Ore'm's Rod Wilkerson, who ran a 5-A record 10.70 seconds in the 100. Amy Curtis of Mountain. View hurled the shot 42-3 12 to break another record. The toss surpassed Curtis' previous season best by almost four feet The athlete attributed the improvement im-provement to working and practicing prac-ticing with coaches Eli Herring and Anders Arrhenius. f Hundreds ot Utah Valley residents are gearing up to raise money for their favorite charities in The Human Race, a 5K runwalk t be held on the Novell Orem campus on May 10 at 9 a.m. In its second year, the Human Race promises to assistance assis-tance local charities in raising money to fund their programs. Charities sign up to participate mmm More City Council Glimpses After weeks of rather intense meetings and discussions, the Orem City Council was a bit more relaxed and informal in a budget work session held April 29. This contributed to some rather humorous exchanges as the council and city officials met to discuss in detail upcoming budget issues. Councilman David Palfreyman did a fairly good imitation im-itation of a Las Vegas lounge singer when the lights in the City Council Chambers were dimmed for a presentation by Administrative Services Director Direc-tor Phil Goodrich and City Manager Jim Reams. "Turn out the lights, the party's over..." Palfreyman crooned. "That sounds like a motion to adjourn to me," said Reams. "So moved," deadpanned Councilman Tim Christensen. Moments later, Mayor Stella Welsh was discussing the possibility of having a two-hour work session on the city's proposed Planned Residential Development (PRD) ordinance revisions combined with a two-hour two-hour budget work session. "Let's go to a Jazz game," was the counter-proposal from one of the councilmembers. This is not starting out like I thought..." said a somewhat exasperated ex-asperated and business-like Welsh. vij'aMr'- ii V5QU Mountain View's Daniel Arrhenius Ar-rhenius continued his steady improvement im-provement in the shot put event with a throw of 62-1 14. Mountain View coach Dave Houle complimented Curtis' performance in the shot, and expressed ex-pressed his delight with the achievements of the medley team and Liz Benson, who won the 800 with a time of 2:18.21. Orem's Jason Kukahiko won the long jump title with a leap of 23-3, to capture the over-all title for his team in the final event of the day.

Several local companies com-panies encourage their employees to participate and get them started by underwriting $5-$35 in pledges. "Last year, three hundred people showed up for the race and their combined pledges AByir Palfreyman then noted that, like a cow in tall grass, he would be "udderly tickled" to be at the meetings. This is an udder disaster," smiled Welsh. "Let's go to the budget" Orem Library Director Dick Bee son waa asked for a definition of a "board book" aa the councilmembers were going i through budget items. "I guess it's one you read to go to sleep," Beeson quipped, explaining ex-plaining after the laughter subsided sub-sided that the children's books are actually sturdy ones made of wood. Explaining why the library was proposing to lower fees for checking out compact disks, Beason said a young person with 50 cents or a dollar in his pocket might be sure to check out the music of "Smashing Pumpkins" and "The Grateful Dead", but may not want to gamble on Beethoven. By lowering fees, Beason hopes, the odds favor the individual including Beethoven "as an antidote," he said. Bruce Chesnut, Water Resources Division manager for the Orem, told the council that the city will be required to pay for its share of Jordanelle water, whether or not it is used by the city. Goodrich said it is the city's intent to use the water. "You know save the wells (whales) that sort of thing," he said. In a discussion on the problem prob-lem of enforcing reservations made for the use of pavilions jn city parks, Councilman Steven Heinz joked that he would take his gun and his guard dog to stake out his claim. Palfreyman said he favored using Christensen's infamous "toothless carnies" for enforcement. enforce-ment. The somewhat notorious (andpoliticallyincorrect)phrase had come up in past discussions about limiting the overnight use of parks to city-sponsored or sanctioned events. CHs Traw mm I.

You will remember that over time, compound com-pound interest may accumulate wealth. Now, look at the true rate of return on our investments and savings, that is, what our real balance is worth after inflation and taxes. First there is a silent thief at work where money is involved. Its name is inflation. Those of you who are old enough will remember the double-digitinfla-tion that was experienced from the 1960s through the early 1980s. Although inflation has not been this high historically, or since that time, it does have an impact on the net return from your investments. Let's look at an example. In 1977, a new Cutlass Supreme cost me $6,200. Today, I inquired in-quired about the price for a new Cutlass Supreme. The price $20,900. Twenty years later, the cost has increased three and one-half times. Here is another one. In 1970, a postage stamp cost six cents. Today, the same stamp's cost is 32 cents. It increased in-creased five and one-third times. The Lesson: Each year the purchasing pur-chasing power of our savings is reduced by the inflation rate that year. We cannot heat it, smell it, or taste it; however, we can see inflation in our costs and feel it in our wallet Another factor reducing our investment earnings is taxes. Now this writer is not an advocate advo-cate of cheating or hiding on taxes. I am an advocate, however, how-ever, of taking every legal way possible to lessen the tax burden. bur-den. Please consult your tax specialist for help with taxes. The intent of this column is to give you financial information, not tax advice.

First, we need to deduct the taxes from the 6 earnings. To do this, multiply the interest rate by our tax bracket (.28 x 6 1.68.) Taxes will eat 1.68 of our 6 earnings. This leaves 4.32, the true rate of return, after taxes. In addition, because the 3 inflation rate is a hit on our principal this year, we must deduct the 3 from our earnings. Here is how that works. An inflation rate of 3 x $1,000 a loss of $30. So this reduces the value of our yield by another 3. Conclusion: Our true yield after taxsa was 4.32. Take another 3 for inflation from the 4.32, and our true rate of return is now 1.32 (6 minus tax of 1.68, minus inflation infla-tion of 3 1.32) Thus, our $60 on8-year earnings now have a true value of $13.20. ($1,000 x 1.32 - $13.20). f Some of us may be living in a ; fantasy world of denial with ; regard to these truths. However, l it is only after we deduct infla-; infla-; tion and taxes from our earnings i that reality replaces fantasy. We cannot spend what we do not f have.

However, these healthy heal-thy activities can lead to tragic eye injuries that could be prevented by the use of safety eye wear. Every year, hospital emergency emer-gency rooms treat almost 50,000 victims of sports eye injuries Sports eyeguards should be worn when participating in any sport. Non-prescription eyeguards may cost between $20 and $40, and prescription eyeguards may cost $60 or more. Following are suggestions from Prevent Blindness Utah on choosing the best sports eye wear. While non-prescription' eyeguards can be purchased at sports specialty stores as well as optical stores, eye protectors should always be fitted to you personally by an eye care professional. profes-sional. Bad fit is the number-one number-one reason why sports eye wear is discarded. Make sure the lenses in your sports eyeguards stay in place or pop outward in the event of an accident Lenses that pop toward the eye can be dangerous. Look for a frame lip" surrounding the rim of the lens at the back, the area nearest your eyes. f- I here is a day that 9li 1 1 ... .:.,. . -- msirws- , A Sunday, set aside for love and praise To those who mother children of their own, As well as loving surrogates who hear The call to nurture children all their days.

O Mother, take this day unto thy heartl O Mother, may we never draw apartl O Mother dear, we know how great thou artl How many accolades does she receive For all the sacrifices she employs? How many blessings may a mother claim In teaching children what they should believe? The hungry minds of little girls and boys Are always eager for the learning game!

O Mother, thou art treasure of the earth! The foster mother plays her crucial roles In nurturing and loving special ones Who. somehow, are deprived, along the way. With arms and hearts that open to the souls Of many foster daughters andor sons. They seek to serve the smallest castaway. The foster mother often is beguiled To make her own. another woman's child.

The priceless surrogates who love the art Of mothering, are known by many names: As nurses, teachers, givers of child care. They, sometimes, substitute for Mother's heart.

O Mother, teach us. once again, to pray! O Mother, please enjoy our sweet bouquet! O Mother, on this blessed Mothers Day! Sports eyeguards should have lenses made of polycarbonate polycar-bonate material-the most impact-resistant material around. Frames also should be extremely extreme-ly sturdy. Those that carry the code "Z87" meet the toughest tests-those of the American National Na-tional Standards Institute. Eyeguards may be available avail-able with an anti-fog coating or with side vents for additional ventilation-important for activities ac-tivities where fogging could occur, blocking vision. Sports eyeguards should be . padded or cushioned along the brow and the bridge of the nose to prevent them from cutting your skin during impact Make sure the eyeguards fit comfortably. Keep adjusting the strap until they feel snug but not too tight If you wear prescription glasses, glas-ses, ask your eye doctor to fit you for prescription eyeguards. If your lens prescription is strong but you can still wear contact lenses, consider non-prescription eyeguards instead for a minimum of distortion and maximum max-imum comfort Free information on sports eye protection and general eye safety is offered through Prevent Blindness Utah at 524-2020 524-2020 or 1-800-675-5665 outside of Salt Lake City.
