I tried walking around the living room not much challenge there, and i ki pi banging my elbow on the tum between the kitchen and the hall. f iiiully I decided that I would goout in the back yard and walk up and a n the three steps on the patio. R ics, our resident dog, thought this was a wonderful idea, and he me for the first few flights.

Lnch time I reached the top hed wag his tail enthusiastically, complimenting rae on another successful round. Our q i ict grey mother cat soon joined him on her perch on the picnic table bench. She watched me through half closed eyes, possibly wondering s hat had gotten into me to make me act in such an unusual manner. Her kittens pecked around the comer of the woodshed apparently enjoying the spectacle. As the adrenalin began to flow I decided to get tricky.

Let the snows come -l- et it hail and rain-- - I'll shut the bedroom door, turn down the lights, zap that video into the slot, and the house and will both rock as I go 'Sweatin' to the Oldies. And I won't even have an audience as I struggle to work up a sweat. . One of the recent innovations in the City of Saiina which has great potential is the movement to establish a Youth City Council. Almost all of the communities around us have youth city councils. The opportunities for our youth by being members of such a council are many. A few of the benefits that can come from such a council are: 1 . Leadership development for youth. 2. Our youth gaining a knowledge of how city government functions. 3. Y outh will have a channel for funneling information and ideas to the city council. 4. Youth will have opportunities to provide service to our city, etc. The involvement of youth in a youth city council will help build a spirit of unity and understandings. In cities with effective youth city councils, the juvenile delinquency and vandalism has been cut by as much as Two women have been the driving forces behind organizing a youth city council. Councilwoman Kar-re- n Glover, has been interested in this activity for several years and attended workshops on this program at the past two conventions of the League of Cities and Towns. She is the city representative for the youth city council. The other driving force is Elaine Allred. She is chairperson in charge of the Saiina Youth City Council. At the last city council meeting she "It makes a difference to this one" A young man walked along a beach at dawn, picking up stranded starfish, and throwing them out to sea to keep them from dying in the heat of the morning sun.

No. Those names are kept in confidence. The final accounting to be published as announced on the pledge form .will contain just the number of donors and the total of all contributions. Each dispersal from the fund, however, will be detailed as to whom it was made and for what veripurpose. Our account will be as all Bank officials, fied by Valley donations are made directly to their bank and all dispersals are to be made only by check, executed in their presence. That account will, likely be published in a future issue of this newspaper. When will the case go to court? The Sixth District Court just notified us our suit will now be heard in Richfield at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 30. The October 1 6th date, Since five Sevier County men established the Taxpayer Rights Legal Defense Fund at Valley Central Bank, Richfield last month, weve been swamped with inquiries of our effort by angry taxpayers in Sevier County and around Utah. Id like to take this opportunity to answer five of the most asked questions to update readers on our situation and progress: Why do we need such a fund? To defray an unexpected, added legal cost in our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the 1987 Utah Election law that prohibits a popular vote on county or municipal taxes or budgets. The original $22,000 provided though the Utah Taxpayers Association to fund it and a related lawsuit against Payson City wouldnt cover the $7,000 potential cost added when Sevier County Attorney Don Brown objected to a stay in our suit, pending a decision in the Payson case, forcing us to fish or cut bait. Why solicit public participation? Our suit is to restore a citizen right. If only a few citizens are involved, when we win this challenge in the Utah Supreme Court, only a few will remember or cherish the restored right, then just those few Utahns will keep watch to insure its never taken away again. We sponsors signed a $3,000 promissory note to take the case through District Court, allowing us to pay the cost out through the end of the year, and set up the Legal Defense Fund. Appeals action may take another $2,000 to $4,000 contingent upon the District Court outcome. Hence, the Funds $7,000 goal. set earlier, was rescheduled for court convenience. How much money is now in the fund? As of Sept. 30, Valley Bank has deposited over $1,300 into the account, mainly in $5, $ 10, and $20 donations. We also have $200 in outstanding local pledges in hand. Further, deposits by taxpayers around Utah have begun to trickle in. We expect to gain added statewide citizen support at the 1991 Taxpayers Action Day Rally in front of the Federal Building in Salt Lake City, at 10 a.m. Saturday, October 19th. We think Utahns may never again have such a chance to stop this power grab. Your help tells us: Dont back down- - fish till the empty.
