Many of our citizens assumed with the delightful weather conditions that it was the spring time of the year. We have received several telephone calls and visits with residents asking if it was permissible to bum leaves, weeds and grass clippings in their yards. The answer is No. This is not determined by city 30 through May 30, and Sept. 15 through October 30, providing the materials burned are thoroughly dry. No trash, rubbish, tires or oil can be used to start fires or be included in the materials to be burned. Cities are responsible to see that these state provisions are closely followed.

Bradley This fourth week of the 1992 Legislative session saw two key pieces of legislation to our area move closer to becoming law. I am pleased to report that House Bill 142, which I am sponsoring, passed the Utah House of Representatives and has moved to the Senate for consideration. HB 142 which is officially titled Use of Electronic Pet Collars allows sportsmen who hunt with hound dogs to use radio collars so that the dogs can be more easily tracked. Before this session began, I was approached by people in our district who were concerned because the state statutes that govern this type of hunting seemed vague. I was glad to sponsor this bill and believe it will resolve any confusion in this matter. Also this week. House Bill 17, pacted by federal mineral leases on the Permanent Community Impact Board which allocates the funds raised from the leases. It is extremely important to our area due to the fact that we are one of the most impacted areas by these leases, but in the past we have not received our fair share of the funds. For nearly a year, citizen groups in Sevier County and surrounding areas have been working to have a Library, Cultural Arts, Convention Center built at the Trade Tech in Richfield. If we are successful, the center will be built in conjunction with the Sevier Valley Applied Technology Center. We are hopeful that the project will be funded by a combination of funds from the Capital Facilities Fund, Community Impact Board and local funds. On Monday, Richfields Mayor, Sevier County Commissioners and several legislators including myself and Senator Cary Peterson, are meeting with Governor Bangerter in an effort to secure his support in this matter. which I reported on last week, passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee without any dissenting votes, and now moves to the full Senate for consideration. This bill puls more people from areas im Viewpoint Looks From Here Carol S. Jensen The Way Recently Mantis oldest citizen and lifelong resident, Edwin S. Carhe was 104. penter, passed away - did not know Mr. Carpenter, but after I read his obituary, I wished that I had. Most of the time obituaries tell only statistical information - where bom, where and whom married, where died. Mr. Carpenters obituary included that, and then added things about his activity in the LDS Church, participation in the Manti Pageant for many years; his love for history and geography; music; traveling; about his career at the Manti Fire Department - he retired at age 80 to let some of the younger guys have a turn; his love for his garden and bottling and drying the produce from it each year. He still held a valid drivers license and had been driving for 92 years. In addition, during his lifetime I -- - - he: remembered seeing oxen on the streets in Manti; saw electric lights come to the in 1909; city saw the first car in Manti in 1905; Co-o- p -to instead of and using script money pay for items purchased there; remembered hoeing beets from dawn to dark for 60 cents a day; served in two World Wars; "remembered the old IIWW It played the guitar, mandolin, harmonica, drums and piano, and played in a string orchestra for 26 years; traveled from Mexico to Canfrom California to New and ada, York; Was a member of the American Legion for 73 years and had attended the first organizational meeting with the 19 other veterans who formed the Post in 1919; enjoyed good health and had never been in a hospital. In addition to all this, he had married his sweetheart and raised a family. What a full life! Im sure he must have had hard times, but if my hunch is correct, he had enjoyed his life and made the best of it. Sometimes we see obituaries filled with long listings of offices held president of this, or chairman of that -- - some with high and mighty posiwonder if that percan we but tions, son took the time to live and enjoy his life - daily. I see first hand, almost daily, people who are up to their necks in civic, church, educational work and Im quick to add that I know it must be done. But there needs to be time set aside to enjoy life - and do the things we personally want to do. It doesnt hurt to be a little like Mr. Carpenter, who evidently not only stopped to smell the roses but he planted them, too. - - Three major cocaine suppliers brought down Additionally, on February 1, the Quad County Task Force also assisted the JuabMillard Task Force with the execution of a search warrant in Mona that resulted in the arrest of two persons for cultivation of marijuana.
