Chris Cannon Cannon held meetings throughout the state during his summer recess from Congress before returning to Washington, D.C. in order to get input from constituents. He told those gathered in Lehi that the key to the next election would be to get people involved. "There's something you can do," he told those who asked about Congress' plans to pursue campaign reform, "contribute." He suggested that individuals take $100 and divide it among 10 campaigns to make a statement showing support of a certain candidate's platforms. One man said that, in the time of the drafting of the Constitution, representatives were elected while senators were appointed by the state legislators. He suggested that a return to such a policy would aid in achieving campaign 9 ous meeting where Mayor Anderson said the water use would be limited to one or two employees using the restroom facility in the building. Fort was "Cedar Councilmember blackmailed,"said Glen Cook, saying that postal officials threatened to remove the post office if they could not have water. Other residents questioned why the Postal Service was requesting any landscaping at all. "I've nosed around and I haven't seen one post office that has any landscaping around said it," Douglas Hales. "Too much of our water is being given away." After the input given by the residents, Mayor Anderson said that he would ask the postal officials to use waterless materials on the entire landscaped area.

"It is almost impossible to take out a senator," replied Cannon. Another young man asked about Cannon's position on the US involvement in the United Nations and why he voted against the US withdrawal from the organization. Cannon said he voted against the bill because it was an "irresponsible bill," in his words, because it called for removal of the UN in 120 days, a time frame he considered too short. He did tell the audience that he would support a bill that would remove the UN in a more reasonable time frame. "The problem with the UN is that we're using American funding to promote these wild ideas," he said referring to the Beijing Women's Conference where officials recognized five genders to include male, female, gay, lesbian and bisexual people. He also addressed the issue of entitlements, saying that the current welfare system had displaced other organizations, such as churches, which used to take care of people. Funeral services were held Monday for Nicholas M. Phillips, 14, son of Mark and Debbie W. Phillips of Lehi, who died Thursday, Aug. 21 after sustaining injuries in a rodeo accident. The youth, who would have been in ninth grade at Lehi Junior High School, had just joined the Lehi Longhorn Rodeo Club as a freshman bull rider. A friend said he has always wanted to ride bulls. At his first high school rodeo competition, the Panguitch Rodeo, the bull injured the youth when he stepped on his neck, an area not covered by the protective vest and helmet. According to rodeo officials, Phillips got up on his own and was not examined by emergency medical technicians on the scene. The following day, when he complained of a sore shoulder, his parents took him to American Fork Hospital. Monday morning, his family took him to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, where an MRI and a CAT scan confirmed that Phillips had blood clots in his brain. if1 v , t i - it Nicholas M.
