Cox said that as commissioner he would represent the citizens of Emery County and spend the taxpayers money carefully, as if it were his own. He wants to unify the community to function as a unit. He also mentioned his desire to provide opportunities for children to stay in Emery County once they have finished school. Petersen told the gathering that a commissioner owes public service to the community to pay back all that it has given. He said he has been in training for this type of job his entire life, he has learned to work well with people and evaluate problems and solutions effectively. Petersen also told delegates he believed the wilderness issue to be a serious problem, and that if some land is designated by Congress as wilderness, the community should at least have some say in which land is designated. Petersen promised that, if elected, he would like to begin studying what types of businesses are successful in Emery County and then attempt to make the county more attractive to other businesses. He said he has the talent to work with people and be a salesman of Emery County. He also said that the county commission position would be his number one priority, he has no other jobs or committments. auditorium. County attorney candidate Mark Tanner, who is running unopposed on the Republican ticket, told the gathering that his experience in his private practice would make him an excellent choice for county attorney. He also mentioned he had worked against wilderness proposals and had experience assisting in planning and zoning. Tanner believes that, if elected, he will be able to work well with the sheriffs office because of the healthy respect he has for the office. He promised the delegates he would bring confidence and competency to the office of county attorney. Michael Cox and Kent Petersen, the two Republican candidates running for the office of county commissioner also spoke briefly. Cox said he wasnt running for the office because he needs a second income, but rather because he wants to help make a difference in his community and represent the people of Emery County. He said he hopes to be a part of the progress and success of the county, and be a (Continued on Page 8AJ Local straw vote goes to Harrington Y 1 - vrp' I4Y' "'?' j A straw vote conducted at the Emery County Republican party convention at Emery County High School Wednesday, shows third district congressional candidate Richard Harrington as the clear Republican frontrunner for that w vv office.

He encouraged the gradu- ates to grow into responsible adults and to serve their communities and to become people who care and work for their country. The effort within each of us will make our dreams come true, he concluded. Lara Thompson, offering an honor address on Hidden Strengths, compared the graduates to a small church with obvious and subtle beauty. She said that the class of 1992 has strengths and talents, and like the church, some are out- ward and others hidden. Thats not important, she said, suggesting that the important thing is to use those strengths and talents. The program was under the direction of Senior Class President Tammy Duncan who opened the commencement by saying that the graduates are thinking that the best part of Were outta here, but moreover, the thought is Where has the time gone? She said that it is, indeed, hard to say goodbye, and offered thanks to the teachers, parents, friends and her fellow class officers.

Harrington Harrington made headlines two years ago as he rode his horse 340 miles from Bland-in- g to the steps of the state capitol to draw attention to the advantages of multiple use of the land. Harrington, a tax attorney and Springville native, said his main motivation for seeking the office at this time is to dedicate his time and energies to strengthening Americas greatness for the future.
