Show Times Newspaper Wednesday, May 20, 1998 Page 14 A tflOTmig SleBUKMial Pay by Vern Peterson The American Legion Utah State Public Relations Officer We owe an unpayable debt of gratitude to those who died in military service to our nation so that their families and others may live in peace and freedom. Amid the annual vacations and cookouts that characterize the holiday, Memorial Day, May 30, is a day to honor the more ,than one million men and women who sacrificed their lives in military service to our nation. The mournful wail of "Taps" serenaded those selfless patriots into the bosom of our Creator, but removed their presence not from our hearts and minds. The flag of the United States draped the caskets of those fallen American sons and daughters as a peerless reminder of the freedom, justice, and equality they died defending. Memorial Day is a serious day because it reminds us not only of those who died for freedom, justice, jus-tice, and equality, but of the passing pass-ing from our national conscience of those values that inspire ordinary ordi-nary Americans to stand in harm's way. We must continue to bury our patriots with honor and dignity; remember them and their surviving loved ones in our prayers. We must do one more thing to pay tribute to our fallen patriots: Ensure that our cherished cher-ished American values endure as a timeless cultural legacy, tran scending the generations. How do we preserve our values? val-ues? First, by honoring those who sacrificed for them. On Memorial Day, many of us will visit the graves of those known to our government gov-ernment as soldiers, sailors, airmen, air-men, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, but known to us as family blood of our blood. We will bow our heads in careful reflection re-flection upon their sacrifice. We will place flowers or a U.S. flag on their graves. We will remember remem-ber them fondly. And we -will pledge to remember them always, al-ways, for the pain of their loss leaves us no alternative. As citizens of the most free nation na-tion on the planet, we owe our appreciation ap-preciation daily to those who sacrificed sac-rificed all of their tomorrows in their youth so that liberty might grow old. We must appreciate how good we have it here, share our perspective with young people, and wear our patriotism our love of country -- as a tribute trib-ute to those who sacrificed to fortify for-tify freedom. Our children and grandchildren will get the point. I'm delighted to report that throughout the United States on this Memorial Day, millions of Americans will make a simple, yet poignant statement about the sort of America they strive to bequeath be-queath to their children and grandchildren. In so doing, they will demonstrate respect for the sacrifices of our nation's war dead.

Campaign of the American Legion and its 125 Citizens Flag Alliance organizational organiza-tional partners, patriotic Americans Ameri-cans will fly the flag of the United States from their homes and workplaces every day from Memorial Me-morial Day through Veteran's Day. You'll see flag-decorated , communities radiate with the optimism and hope that an outward out-ward love of country bestows. Many Americans will voluntarily voluntar-ily conduct flag etiquette discussions discus-sions in their hometown schools, and they will remind their U.S. senators that they support Senate Sen-ate Joint Resolution 40, which would return to the American people their right to protect the flag of the United States from physical desecration. Show Your Colors, America! demonstrates that one cannot bury the soldier, sailor, airman, Marine or Coast Guardsman and bury the values he or she died defending. de-fending. If anything, this campaign cam-paign proves that our war dead didn't make the supreme sacrifice sacri-fice in vain. For God and country, for the Janes and Johnnys who did not come marching home, I will put up my U.S. flag and urge friends and family to do the same. The blood of our blood, who sacrificed their lives for this blessed land, deserve such a daily tribute. And our great nation needs the resurrection res-urrection of its moral bedrock. Applicant gets another continuance Applicant Willard Gerber has tried three times to get a full council hearing on his request to amend the Orem City Code deal- : ing with home occupation standards. stan-dards. When only five of seven voting members were in attendance atten-dance at the Orem City Council meeting May 12 when the item . was scheduled for discussion, Gerber won another postponement. postpone-ment. City Manager Jim Reams said he appreciated Mr. Gerber's desire de-sire to have the full council hear his request, but noted that if a continuance was granted, it would be the third one since Gerber's application in December. Decem-ber. "I recommend the council hear the item (tonight)," Reams said. Councilman Mike Thompson said he did not believe it mattered mat-tered how many continuances had been granted, and said the council should approve the postponement post-ponement if Gerber requested it. Councilwoman Judy Bell agreed, and said it was not the applicant's fault that he had not been able to have the full council. coun-cil. "I hate to keep waiting myself," Gerber stated. Reams said the council meeting meet-ing of May 26 had a "heavy" schedule, but suggested a continuance con-tinuance to the second meeting in June, at 7 p.m. Bell's motion to set a hearing for that day and time passed 5-0. "Thank you," said Gerber, "and I'll be back." Gerber's request to amend the code provides for exceptions to the home occupation requirements require-ments for properties that are both located adjacent to major arterial streets and are within 660 feet of an existing professional profes-sional office or other commercial' zone. Gerber owns two properties on 800 North and 400 East and wants to pursue a home occupa-;on occupa-;on there that does not meet cur-t cur-t standards.

Farm Field Days from page 1 growing, mink farming, beef, soil conservation, and poultry, to name a few. Debra Spielmaker of the Utah State University Extension Service Ser-vice prepares packets which are taken to participating schools and classes weeks before 'the farm visits. The packet information informa-tion works into the curriculum and prepares the students for what they will see and learn - , - on the farm. There is a pre-test taken before the farm unit is studied, and a post-test taken after the visit. Testing has shown that the children learn a great deal from the field day experience experi-ence as do their teachers. "It's amazing to me how many , teachers learn things, too," Venice said. "I guess we are another an-other generation away from the farm... We are targeting teachers ' as well." These things are important impor-tant for adults to know, too." Miner said the children especially espe-cially enjoy the sheep shearing demonstration, seeing the baby animals, listening to "Tommy, the Talking Tomato" (a costumed information in-formation presenter), and eating the ice cream sandwiches donated do-nated by the Dairy Council. "Things have been going well," ' Miner said. "It is warmer than last year. The kids have been enjoying themselves. We areglad to have them here." ,' Farm field days in the future face a cloud of uncertainty since farms such as the Gammons' are coming under development and annexation pressure. Not so long ago, Venice said, there were 23 dairy farms in Vineyard. Now there are two. The LDS Church even shut down its dairy, she noted, and they now raise feed. As the older farmers retire, it is unlikely their families will continue con-tinue the farming tradition, Venice said, and as farms lose ground, it becomes more important impor-tant to increase production on the land available.
