The Board is concerned over the changes in society that have occurred over the last two decades, resulting in increased teenage pregnancies, teen marriages, ab- ortions among teens, and increased incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. The recent grim report of the Surgeon General (included elsewhere in this issue) about AIDS is a major concern. The Board felt it needed to know to what extent the teaching of human sexuality should be carried out in Utah schools and at what levels. Parental input on these important questions and policies is needed. Plan to attend the meeting Friday, at the Courthouse. ..Several articles from the State Board of Education, Surgeon General and others are included in this issue. The following was presented by William J.

CONTROVERSY CONTINUES Lone person appeals decision on High Top Rood . Evidently ' the controversy over of the Fish Lake Hightop Plateau Road isnt finished yet. Forest Service officials recently received an appeal from John R. Swanson, of Minneapolis, Minn. the use - or non-us- e The appeal notes that the road should be dosed entirely to protect the area. Andy Godfrey, Fishlake Forest Planner, said he does not think there is merit to Swansons appeal, but said it must be given due consideration. The Fish Lake Hightop. Plateau Road was closed a part of the forest plan by the Forest Service last year. Congressmen from Utah appealed the decision, and other groups and organizations became involved to keep the road open. A compromise was readied to leave the south portion of the road open as far as Tasha Springs. The rest would be dosed to all motor traffic. Godfrey says he feels that the compromise best suits the needs of the majority of people, without causing resource damage. All necessary procedures had been completed, and interested persons had 45 days to make an appeal. Swansons appeal came just prior to the end of the 45 day period. The Forest Service says they have no idea who John R. Swanson is, however, they note that he has made numerous appeals of Forest Service decisions in various parts of the country. Swansons appeal said he felt: The plan would destroy the area as a potential wilderness. Decimate the areas wildlife resources ; Ruin the areas botanic resources. Swanson noted that to allow the-usof part of the road as a jeep e trail simply guarantees the significant biological decline of the snecific area In conclusion, Swanson said, The only rational plan for this Fish Lake' Mountain is to dedicate this area as a permanent wilderness; so that this Fish lake Mountain may best serve Man, and all life. The Fishlake Forest has 30 days from the day it received Swansons staappeal to make a responsivestatethe tement. Godfrey says ment will soon be forthcoming.

Aurora City is notified of appeal on water A rpcent court case involving water rights and control which had been decided in favor of Aurora City will be appealed to the Utah State Supreme Court. Attorneys representing Ward Forsythe and Keith Sorenson, of Aurora, sent notice of appeal to Aurora City Mayor, Larry Cosby. The notice stated that they are appealing the recent decision of Sevier County District Court Judge Tibbs and noted specific areas of contestment. Tibbs had earlier found that the case as proposed by Forsytye and Sorenson had no foundaaccording to Mayor Cosby they have appealed to the Utah Supreme Court. Utah Supreme Court. It has already cost Aurora City a considerable amount of money and it will take an additional considerable amount if it to the supreme court. Money that belongs to the tax tion, and now Cosby conpayers of Aurora, tinued. Currently property owners in Aurora own the water in the d pressurized delivery system for irrigation use. Cosby explained that as long as a person uses the citys distribution system they make the water pertinent to the property. This means that a prooertv owner cannot sell the property without the water, nor the water without the property. Sorenson and Forsythe want the right to separate land and water, Cosby said. Forsythe explained that he felt the city ordinance requiring water rights to be turned over to the city goes against articles 5 and 14 of the Constitution which deal with owning and controlling property. A court date has not been set at press time. city-owne- |
