Show Senior dance group from Colorado enjoyed big trip in Moab area by Diamond Dick Grant Sharply at four p.m. on Saturday, September the 23rd, the members of the Senior "Dance of the Western Rockies" gathered with smiling faces at the Old Naturita Community Building, while two big white vans, engines throbbing like animals panting to go, stood by. When asked, "Where are you folks bound?" a distinguished white haired gentleman replied, "I really dont know, somewhere on the Colorado River, I guess." Then suddenly, "Let's move out!" was called by Dock Pulliam, EXCITING illlS Chairperson of the Montrose County Council on Aging. The vans piloted by Jack Smith of Nucla and Wilma Proctor of Paradox, snorted up the hill, taking 141 west to 90, and from there it was over the hill and through the vale to Bill Herron's ranch where he was taken aboard. From there the vans rolled on with their happy group, first passing the old roadside store at Bedrock, then within a few miles they began a thirty degree ascent up and over the first of two mountain passes of the La Sal Range. While the vans twisted and turned on the various switchbacks, a splendid view was observed of the great valley below showing Paradox a in the center. A scene no photographer could duplicate. Upon traveling a beautiful winding valley road, the caravan found itself in the state of Utah, and not far from the beginning of another big climb over the second mountain pass. The fall colors of the aspens intermingled with the dark greens of the spruce, together with reds, oranges and yellows, could only be painted by the Great Creator. After the second pass, the vans began to descend somewhat slowly, and in the late afternoon sun the 12721 foot Mount Peale stood out to the north in all its grandeur. It seemed to be playing tag with the vans all the way into the City of Moab, where these senior adventurers partook of pin-poi- Trips oriented towards exploring secret locales in Arches National Park and Wilderness Study Areas.

A short recess was broken up when the group were reminded they had to be at the boat landing at 7 p.m. for the nationally renown sound and light show of Canyon-land- s by Night Everyone took heed and in a short time found themselves aboard the Moab Queen cruising up the Colorado River, just as the last shadows of dusk were falling in the stupendous gorge. This Dancing Sound and Light Show is literally performed to the rhythm of a music background. An informative narrative put the colorful scenes of the Colorado River Canyon in proper perspective emphasizing that the canyon itself is virtually unchanged since the beginning of time. One could not help but feel the unfolding of history. The contrast of light and shadow from undulating silhouettes and that with melodious voices together with music presented a drama never to be forgotten. Upon the Moab Queen returning to its landing place, the dancers of the Western Slope of the Rockies climbed in their vans and through the dark of the night were home around midnight, but all said it was a great show and are ready to go again next year.

Mayor Stocks would have you believe "HE" obtained all funding, completed all projects, fought all battles and won all victories. He seems to think his personal invitation is necessary for you, the tax payers, to visit the parks and other public facilities. He is claiming credit for things that he does not deserve credit for! He would have you believe he hung the moon! Come on Tom - Let's tell it like it is! The funding and grants received by Moab and Grand County have been a joint venture and who DONATED time and worked diligently to help Moab grow. They did not do it for personal gain or credit! Likewise, projects have been completed by MANY people, representing a wise cross section of the town, who gave freely of time, energy, equipment and money. They did not do it for personal recognition! The work was made more difficult by the Mayor. Many projects were completed, in spite of the mayor's actions NOT because of his help. He is not always exactly Mr. Congeniality and there are ways to disagree, without being disagreeable! One thing for sure - More people have resigned from boards and committees under his administration than any other! a direct result of MANY people As to Battles: without Mayor Stocks there would have been fewer battles to endure in this community! We need elected officials who solve problems - NOT CREATE THEM, and who can delegate and negotiate - NOT DICT ATE! We need an administrator who will allow employees, private enterprise and individuals to grow and reach their own potential - not one who stifles some while overprotecting others because of his own personal likes and dislikes. Mayor Stocks says he spends day after day with the people form the Wasatch Front, and we add "At taxpayers' expense!" If his actions up state are comparable to what the Golf Course Board, Equestrian Board, Gty Employees, City Council, ourselves and others have witnessed, we don't know who is impressed! Mayor Stocks claims he has reduced revenues in taxes. If the City keeps buying up all the property, such as the property he personally owned and sold to the City, and the large building purchased for the Stuntman's Hall of Fame, then Of Course Tax Revenue will be reduced! He does not tell you of the tax money spent in excess of value to the taxpayers, such as the light sensor bath house at the Old City Park, and how he got it past the Council! He was able to get a healthy raise for himself, g while some of the employees received no raise! He further takes credit for the hard various in working employees departments who are indeed doing a fine job! We know that these people would go the extra mile, regardless of who the "Boss" was and with a lot less stress than they have had under the present Mayor! hard-workin- Moab City books have not been closed for the fiscal year ending July 1989. Why? Why do we have an Auditor from out of town when there are qualified people here in business? Last, and certainly not least: Mayor Stocks attempted to take over the EXCELLENT garbage service we have in Moab. The first time he wanted the city to take it over, which would have put a private enterprise out of business. If this a friend of small business? The second time he tried to replace the local operation with an firm. The Citizens roared and the contract was awarded to the Moab contractor, and we are still enjoying the superior service this contractor is noted for! NOT BECAUSE OF MAYOR STOCKS; Rather in Spite of his actions, the people won this victory! out-of-to- Every thing has its season. Tom has had his reign - two terms, eight long years. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE! New leadership in 1990 means a bright future for Moab. We can bring dignity and respect back to the Mayor's office.
