Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday June by Mayor Jim Shumway Blanding, Utah The Constitution of the United States of America begins We the People. This phrase may be the message that has allowed our nation to survive for over 200 years, and it behooves every citizen to read and understand the rights, freedoms and responsibilities the Constitution grants to us. If enough citizens remain actively involved in reminding politicians that the government of America is supposed to be by We the People, then our rights will be preserved. There is no article or amendment to the Constitution that guarantees us peace, but we are guaranteed several freedoms. If we, as citizens, are willing to stand up for freedom of speech, freedom of press, the right to bear arms, freedom from oppression, freedom of religion, Letters To The Editor The Record welcomes letters from its readers on any subject of public interest.

Dear Editor: This is a thank you to the entire community of Monticello and San Juan County, Utah. e On May 31 our Piper airplane experienced mechanical problems causing a small fire and smoke. We were forced to make an emergency landing in a field about nine miles southeast of Monticello. Fortunately no one was hurt and we were able to radio immediately for help. And help did come. The San Juan County Sheriffs Department was out in force searching for us, the Civil Air Patrol was searching by air in seven aircraft, and many volunteers, who because of their concern, spent their evening searching for us. We were even told that the local hospital was prepared in the event of injuries. Your community should be very proud of the sheriffs Com-manch- BD3Q2eC) snm.3m3D 1987 - Page 2 17, ing carefully, all to no avail. McSon went for reinforcements. When he returned with a three years into the future. Over 20 years ago President Kennedy said, Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country. That statement is as important today as it was then. When we see something about America that is good, let us voice our pride. When we see a problem, let us struggle to correct it. When America is challenged, let us protect it. Do not accept America as it is, challenge America to be better. Do not reject America for its weaknesses, find ways for America to develop greater strengths. We the People shall continue in liberty if we stand up for our freedom, right and responsibilities. Here in Blanding, we invite you to celebrate America with us on July 4. God Bless America, land that we love home. . . . our home, sweet department for their organized search and rescue effort, and its citizens for their care and concern that was shown to us afterwards. A very special thanks goes to Isaac and Shauna Vigil who unquestion-ingl- y extended their kindness to us the evening of the accident and the following day. Thankfully we escaped with the smallest of injuries, but it was comforting to us to know that if there had been serious injuries, help was there for us in only a short amount of time and that we would have been in the most capable and caring of hands. That is something that all your citizens can be proud of. Gratefully, Elizabeth Banks Joann Haller Jeff Bank Robert Campbell Dear Editor: The following is a letter received last week by the Blanding Police Department: A few Sundays ago Officer Bradford and some of his fellow officers got me out of a real jam when they successfully unlocked my rental car after I had during church services. I still cant get over how everyone pitched in to help me. Needless to say, I left Blanding with a very warm feeling and just want to let you and your friends in your town know that I am most appreciative. Here, where I live on this island in the Gulf of Mexico, we have more than our share of tourists and I hope that when something like this occurs, we will rise to the occasion as the people in Blanding did for me. Sincerely, Don Mac Phail Medical treatment of children Will your children be staying with relatives or friends this summer? San Juan Hospital reminds parents that in the event of a medical emergency, the person caring for your child will need parental permission to consent to treatment. The hospital has forms available for authorizing another adult to consent to medical care for children. San Juan Hospital requires that any person seeking medical treatment for a minor (other than their own child) present an authorization from the parents. Most other hospitals also require such a form. The authorization is valid for a specific time and for a specific person. The form, Authorization for Another to Consent to Treatment of a Child, is available at the hospital. Any forms previously submitted to the hospital are invalid. F. Cook, U.S. Marines, recieved promotion to Lance Corporal on May 1, 1987.

Accordingly, those heifers and the three little bulls were allowed to stay with their mothers until it was time for weaning. That process can be a traumatic one, so McGruff accepted the offer of a good neighbor, who was going to buy the bulls, to take all the calves until weaning was achieved. Brownies Woolly, and Strawberrys Strawbabe were both gone sufficiently long to be happy with the LETHAL WEAPON the manger and reaching through to the haybarn was soon corrected, and all went well until Brownie had the new calf, which was secreted away. It was the second day after Brownies delivery when McGruff noticed that she was spending a lot of time with the other cows, without her newest arrival, but Woolly was always with her. By the third day, when McGruff could not locate that tiniest of heifers, he talked his Mrs. and McSon into going with him. A thorough search led to the discovery of that little one stashed under some trees and brush, and she was shooed out and herded toward her mother. The three saw her take a gulp or two before they left, and hoped that things would now be in proper order. It wasnt to be. The following morning McGruff found that the little one had been hidden away again, and it was obvious that Woolly was taking the nourishment meant for that now abandoned little one. Abandoned or not, she had been hidden away by her mother, and she was going to stay where her mother had put her. The search was on again.

It was then that McSon was able to tackle her, and with McGruff s help, get her on his shoulders and carry her to a shed. The three managed to entice that wayward mother in with her, and with wire and boards blocked the door to keep them together. Woolly was put in a separate enclosure but during the night made her escape. Brownie jumped her five foot barrier and continued her motherly ways with Woolly. McGruff won, though. Woolly was put in a more secure area, and Abby was with her mother, without interference, for two weeks. By that time Abby was giving Brownie the relief she needed, and a bond was made between her youngest daughter and the confused old cow. When that determined heifer came again to be' with her mother, that mother made it unmistakably clear to her elder offspring that there would be no more free lunch for Woolly!
