People using the dump are not abe to discharge loads directly into the pit, since there is a pileup of material at and The probbeyond the lem seems to be from negligent discharge some time ago on the rim, instead of into the pit. That, combined with failure of responsible parties to clean the approach to the pit has resulted in an unsightly, dangerous and unsanitary condition. SIG members agreed that the situation can only worsen unless action is taken to correct it now and to prevent it in the future. Claudia Nielson will ask the Mayor to accompany her to the Dump and ask his active and continuing support in cleaning it up and keeping it in a condition which permits proper usage. Priscilla Spencer, supervisor Sixth District Juvenile courts cleanup team, noted that private citizens are asking the teams help in cleaning weeds from their yards. SIG emphasizes that the Juvenile Cleanup Team is only to clean weeds d from areas along the West to East ends of Main Street, h. . holes for the trees.

Farmers, ranchers, sportsmen invited to program Dealing with agriculture losses from wildlife Every year farmers and ranchers lose crops andor animals to wildlife. This is a concern not only to agricultural producers because of the financial loss, but also to sportsmen and wildlife managers for purposes of good relations and management. On October 3 1 , Utah State University Extension will present a program dealing with the problem of animal damage management programs in Utah. It will be received at the distance learning center room at the Sevier Valley Applied Technology Center, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. October 31. The program will originate on the USU campus and will be broadcast over the EDNET system. This system makes possible interaction between the receiving sites and the presenters, so those in attendance will be able to ask questions just as if they were in the studio audience. Terry Messmer, USU Extension Wildlife Specialist and participants from the Farm Bureau, USDA APHIS and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources will be involved in the presentation. This is a good opportunity for farmers, ranchers, sportsmen, wildlife managers and other interested parties to hear from those involved in the management of this problem, and ask any questions they might have. .

Assuming that current projects for Fiscal Year 1992 hole, the surplus will go to smaller classes and computers. The Governor said the surplus would be divided as follows: Up to $15 million to continue the program that is bringing computers and other technological instruments into Utahs classrooms. $4 million to continue the class size reduction program. 10 million for high school construction. $2 million for health and social services The Governor added that so far, Utah appears to be avoiding the recession that has bee hammering much of the nation. He noted that the surplus is not a huge one. It amounts to less than 1 of the state budget, adding that the state has many other legitimate needs the money could be used for. He emphasized that he could spend the enure $29 million on education, but other needs would have to be looked at, as well. Arts Alliance elections delayed until November Due to the lack of representation from other organizations, Sevier County Arts Alliance delayed the elections it intended to have at its recent meeting and focused instead on the connection between the arts and economic development. Richard Leyba, of the county economic development office spoke to the group about Sandpoint, Idaho, and the arts festival begun ten years ago which has saved the towns economic life. Leyba said that Richfield has equal to, or in some cases, greater resources. All that is lacking is the cooperative action to put such an arts and economic development program together. Eighteen months ago, county commissioners appointed Pam Williams to work through local arts organizations and bring people and ideas together that would foster both arts and economic development. As a result, the non profit alliance is now chartered but struggling for recognition, county wide support and help to get it off the ground. The first project to receive the attention of the Alliance is to find a suitable place where plays can be produced locally, where recitals and private concerts can be scheduled, and where a regular concert season can be held in the future. Another problem facing the group is lack, of leadership, .Depending entirely on volunteers who may eventually suffer burnout is not a firm footing for the Alliance, but volunteer efforts will continue until the organization is strong enough to afford hiring a professional arts administrator. Elections will be held Thursday, November 7, at 7:309 p.m in the Richfield City Council chambers. The three trustees who signed the incorporation papers - Kevin Ashby, Karl Mecham and Howard Watkin - are automatically part of the governing board. The charter lists four other offices, president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and, the board agreed that the board of trustees needs to be expanded to include at least those seven officers with the decision to be made later whether to expand to the maximum number of trustees, 13, that the charter allows. Anyone interested in becoming involved, or who may have questions may call Pam Williams, Neal Busk, Jim Knower, Elaine Way-lanMaureen Karst, or Richard Leyba. -- -- Senior Citizen Highlights Ucon Christensen There are several things coming up at the enter that we would like you to know about.

J Richfield Care Center With principles of learned helplessness versus benefits of self reliance and self determination in mind lets consider some thought questions about caregiving to our older and more dependent seniors. These are some of the considerations we must evaluate at the Center and hope you will evaluate them at home also. 1. Do we create a too risk-fr- ee environment which emphasizes helplessness and limit opportunities for continued daily activity? 2. Is the range of acceptable behavior or activity enough to allow individual expression? 3. Does the individual plan and choose the things he would like to accomplish or change? Time of day? How often? And w'ith whom? 4. Are all community resources being utilized to assist with dependency or self sufficiency, such as vision, hearing and speech ? Mental Status? Nutritional services? 5. Are request denied on the basis of too much trouble for you? Do you determine that it is too much for him? 6. Do we determine he is incapable, too feeble, or too tired to participate in family, church or neighborhood functions? These are just a few of the questions we might ask. Often we can create dependency by the way we give care or the way we serve or dont serve our older, somewhat dependent seniors. Be sensitive to stimulate self esteem and self reliance as long as possible without serious injury. evalu-auons- Just a couple of reasons why I am running again for the Salina City Council: lwcuid like to work with the new Youth City Council when It Is in - I I k place have no axes to grind so my decisions will be made based on facts and not emotions I Hwmwwui m i I "1 3BMV I. |
