Show V The Lehi Free Press - Thursday, September 3, EWETdDM Stake Lehi Up or Down? Dear Editor: Interest in our municipal government appears to be at an all time high or low; it's hard to tell. Tuesday evening's emotional council meeting generated several points which I feel should be aired for the benefit of all of us. First, from a business viewpoint, elected our current government we just like we elect a board of directors. They function in the same manner and are held accountable in the same way. They function in their position with our suport each November. The business that is conducted is for our benefit, with our input. We voice our approval or disapproval with public meetings, personal contact or lobbying, and biannual elections. Tuesday night's meeting was an example, and I'm certain a message got across. Second, factual information, the focus of the meeting, could not be presented, though we feel it is our right. Legal counsel cautioned that 'a can of worms' could be opened that could result in severe liability for the city or individual citizens. One accidental comment from the crowd or the civic leaders could cause severe repurcussions and only aggravate the controversy. No one wants the community to become a battleground - do they? Third, action was taken by the we elected. Our opinion of that action will vary among neighbors, ward members, families, even spouses. But the situation will best be resolved if the matter is placed aside for the time being, maintaining the status quo as mandated by the council and mayor, until after the fall elections. At that time, should Chief Peterson desire private discussions with the new mayor and with the city attorney can be held and a permanent appointment can be made. Both parties can then be informed of the circumstances and a binding decision backed by the voice of the electorate can be made. Finally, harsh words have been exchanged and will undoubtedly continue. Personal attacks are cruel and unjust. Let's express our opinions now, one on one, with our representatives, or by voting this fall. A message was given. Give it time to act. But most of all, give your support to Berl, to Blaine, to Karl, and to the council any way you can. Then, lets continue our voice in city government. If we had taken an active part in our government years ago, none of the events of the past six weeks would have occured. Chris Lind Lehi servants r- Apology to City Dear Editor: I would like to publically apologize to the Mayor and City Council of Lehi for the appalling way in which the citizens of Lehi acted at the regularly scheduled city council meeting held Tuesday, August 25. To be put through the jeering and slanderous actions of the crowd and still be willing to serve as our city officials is beyond me! Never have I seen more sickening actions by a group of "responsible citizens" gathered together in my life! Many present at the meeting, despite what was mentioned in various news media, were there simply out of curiosity. I now wish I had never attended. To be included with those who participated in the name calling and filth that was used President makes me hang my head. The only thing lacking at the meeting was the tar and feathers. Mr. Peterson forgot to take care of that one small detail. Before attending the meeting, I had decided to give Mr. Peterson the benefit of the doubt. After seeing what the city council were put through, yet still holding their ground, I realize that there must be something to what they were saying as to why Mr. Peterson was released as chief. A "peace officer?" I think not . . . in closer to an instigator of a near-rio- t Lehi, Utah. I hope he carries a clear conscience of what has been caused. Mrs. C.

He noted that Primary attendance has dropped from the low ninety percentile to the low sixties. Stating that the parents are not getting the children up to go to Primary, he said, "If we really care and if we really want to, we can do what we have to as teachers and parents to accomplish our goals." President Dalton told the teachers lhat their callings would not be so awesome as they sometime seem if they would teach with the spirit. "If you save a child you save a generation. Me must try with all our hearts to magnify our callings." Stanley The antelope hunt September 5 to September 13 is predicted to be ex-cedent on most units of the state. Antelope hunting has improved significantly in Utah since 1965. During that season, 51 antelope were harvested by 81 hunters for a 63 percent hunter success. Last year, 310 hunters harvested 280 antelope for a 91 percent hunter success. The improvement is due in a large part to the Utah Division of Wildlife's ongoing program of reintroducing antelope into historical ranges. Of the 13 antelope units being hunted in 1981, 7 of these areas have been repopulated with antelope through the Division's extensive transplanting program within the stale. Antelope once roamed in most foothill and valley locations of the state. However, as civilization and unregulated livestock grazing encroached, antelope were pushed to remote desert areas and populations steadily declined. For many years, received antelope Peck Building Supply of Lehi took third place in the Rocky Mountain Regional Fast Pitch Championship this past weekend in Denver, Colorado. Pecks was the only team in the tournament that played seven games because of a first game loss in the double elimination tournament. They dropped their first game to Broker Inn of Boulder, Colorado. Joe Adamson pitched a great game in this 2 loss. He pitched a four hitter against the Boulder team. Pecks got six hits but couldn't put them together until Craig Carter hit a home run in the sixth inning with a runner on base. Pecks' bats were still silent in the second game as they took on the Coors Beer team of Denver. But Allen Green of Pecks tossed a against the Coors team and gave Pecks a 0 win. Pecks' second win of 3-- no-hitt- Serving North Utah County the day came against TIC of Grand Junction, Colorado. In this game a perfectly executed suicide squeeze bunt by Ron Peck brought Bruce Fox home to start a rally which produced four runs in the third inning. As the second day of the tournament began, Pecks knew they had a long way to go to get back at a change for the championship. They began the day with a 0 win over Laurel Belle, of Colorado Springs. Laurel Bell came into the tournament as the state champs from Colorado. Ken Peck got three hits and did a brilliant job as catcher in all seven games of the two day tournament. Joe Adamson pitched another exceptional game in shutting out the team from Colorado Springs. With this win the Peck team advanced to play a rival from Provo, The Little Acorns, the defending champions. It was a typical confrontation between these two teams. The score was tied at one until Lloyd Jacobson smashed a home run over the center field fence in the sixth 6-- inning. The defense held on to this game as d Bruce Fox made a spectacular diving catch to end the inning. Allen Green pitched this one. The Peck team again advanced to play Arvada Hardwood, a home town favorite. Arvada scored four runs in the first inning to put the Pecks crew in a hole. Allen Green came in to relieve Joe and before long Pecks had a 4 lead. Arvada came back with three runs in the sixth inning to go ahead one-han- Ij'hi. t lull mrj Tharwlii :i;U ll.nn.
