How do you tell it is spring? Some people say springis on the way when they see the crocus stickingtheir little heads through the snow or all the snow has melted. Some watch for the tulips to bloom. Some watch for that first color of green grass on an othenvise brown turf. Some get an itch and clean their houses hum top to bottom. Me, I know it is spring when 1 have to start turning the heat up and down. Up in the morning and down in the afternoon mid evening. Yesterday 1 forgot to turn the heat off in the morning and by the afternoon my house was really warm. I had the windows open and was heatingthe outside when it suddenly dawned on me to turn off the heat. Duh! I kept it off all night. The house was so hot. I thought about turningon my air conditioner. I didn't. Now this morning, I am sitting here freezing mv self to death because am too stubborn to turn the thermostat back 1 Well, thats all right you say, bite on a bullet. This morning the weatherman said it was going to be hot and ; sunny all day. he hour one later, Unfortunately, now says we are going' to have cold air settling in on us this afternoon and it will be snowing in the mountains before nightfall. 1 am beginning to tiling he may be right. ( Perhaps for the first time in my life.) Right now the wind is about to blovy us off the street. I'm freezing in my spring clothes. I had to shut the win- on. dows and put a blanket around my leg's. Each few minutes it gets colder and colder and am going' to have to give in and change clothes, put on m" woollies and definitely turn on thO; heat. Oh well, its spring. Wonder what tomorrow will bring? Thats my world' until next time, remember those infay mous words of Bette Davis, Old age aint no place for sissies. 1 Child Safety Concern on Highway in Green River near School Section 4 1 of Flail Stale , Law-states- subsection 3, part B1 that local authorities are responsible for lights, crosswalk and a on any highway adjacent to a public school. For purposes of clarification the state defines a hig'hwav as any surfaced road that connects two other surfaced roads. Subsection two stales that the state is responsible for hig'hwav s under state jurisdiction, like business loop 70. but that the responsibility falls to local authorities when that properly is adjacent to a eitystreet. The State Department of Transportation sets further guidelines, detailing how schools and authorities work in conjunction to establish a routingplan, showingthe most probable flowof pedestrian traffic to and from the school. Once established, the routingplan is used to establish locations of safe zones for the school. Furthermore, any street abutting the school's main entrance shallbe equipped with safe zone utilities, I.E. lights, signage, 20 MPH zone in pro-vidi- cross-inggnar- d anderossingguard. The guidelines state any location where 10 or more kids cross in a given day shall be provided with safe zone utilities. Because Bookcliff Elementary requires that children driven to school All street a very is created wheneverchildren are unloaded on the west side of the street. Ton or more children easilv cross the street on any given school day to go to and from vehicles. One might think that an easy solution might be to prohibit loading and unloading on the west side of the street but that still does not address the issue of the absence of a school zone in front of our school. Even if the law did not require it one would think that a community would choose to do so purely out of concern for the safety of their children. Every child coming' from the West side of Green River must at some point cross Solomon Street. If they cross over at the park there is no crossing guard, he is there for Main Street. If a child crosses North of Main then they must cross Main on the opposite side from the crossing guard. If they cross anywhere South of Main there is no crossing guard. The solution is simple. Dale Stapiey, of the Ftah Department of Transportation has advised that if requested in vvritingto do so, he will send an engineer down to assess the problem. Stapiey also advises that the request must come from an agency such as the Parent Teachers be unloaded on the city unsafe situation Association, School Board or local Constabulary. Many of you may think this is chronic complaining but an incident occurred two weeks ago that should serve to contradict that notion. A ear was traveling southbound on Solomon when the driver spotted a small boy running out from between two cars to get to a vehicle parked across the street. The driver of the car slowed to 5 MPH in order to insure the safety of the child. Seconds after the child entered the street an SUV passed the car on the left, at approximately 25 MPH. Had that pass been executed three seconds earlier, tragedy may have been the result. One citizen was really annoyed at the prospect, seeming to put personal convenience ahead of child safety but most of us are realistic and place a child's safety ahead of finance or convenience. It is what Newsweek Magazine used to call a Written requests for an assessment must come from an agency, not an individual and should be directed to Dale Stapiey, Utah Department of Transportation, 940 S.
