Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The taxing authority of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District is going to be voted on November 19, 1985. I ask that each citizen study very closely the project so that an intelligent vote may be cast. Let us first examine the cost, 2.00 mill levy over a period of 40 years. This amounts to a total of $889.20 on the house live. There are also where several environmental considerations including the flooding of a portion of the Heber Valley and the reduced stream flow in the Uintas.

But Coach LaVell Adwards showed me how to handle it. Saturday, after visiting the Ramses 11 exhibit, I caught the second half of the State game on TV, the Y obliterating the Aggies the way the snow was obliterating the field for most of the action . 1 didnt think too much of it, just typical excellent execution on the part of the Cougars. No contest, real'y. 1 I BYU-Uta- h ' Then, later in the afternoon, happened to be in my car, the radio tuned to KSL quite by chance, and there was Coach LaVell and Paul James taking calls from the populace. Suddenly, theres a womans voice, an ironic or sardonic tone in its nasal quality. Why did Jimmy Edwards she play the whole game? asked. had watched the game. It was a surprise to me. I believe I did see Jimmy miss I 1 one or two passes, but ne certainly hadnt been a mainstay in the offensive action as far as I could tell watching TV. So I read her comment as a slap at the big coach. Her motives? Who knows? Maybe the mother of a sidelined receiver. Maybe the auntie. She didn't sound like a granny. The implications, of course, were, Hey, big fella, yer playin yer own kid too much! Both Paul James and Coach remained Edwards calm, simply pointing out - that Jimmy hadn't played the entire other game, enumerating players who had seen action, etc. But you could hear between the lines, or at least imagine Paul and LaVell raising eyebrows at each other as the lady levelled her guns over the almost airwaves, subtly, almost, chipping at the great coachs integrity, hinting at son nepotism in allowing Jimmy to play. Jimmys a good athlete. He deserves to play. Its ton had as he pleased when he related the story to his friends. His imagination would not be hampered by plain old facts. By Saturday, Sara found out later, Mark would be telling all the youngsters in the neighborhood that his big sister had been crushed nearly to death by a thirty-foo- t python escaped from the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City. Then some huge guy named Max had shot it through the eye with a crossbow he had made himself in shop. Mark was charging little kids fifty cents to look at one of the pythons teeth he said he dug out of Saras wrist. He had the tooth in a peanut butter jar along with a live tarantula so nobody would dare steal it. The tooth looked similar to a cat tooth, and when a skinny lad said so, Mark told him that the python is a snake closely related to the lion family. But Tuesday afternoon of the day Sara was bitten, the phone rang, and when Sara answered it turned out to be Carla. Naturally, the talk centered on the snake incident, and Carla reported how rumors spread that it had been a rattlesnake. But how did 1 get to the nurses office? Sara wanted to Sara's Mark, Todd, and Margaret, found out about the snake bite, they treated Sara as if she had encountered a dragon and had been saved by a handsome prince on a white horse, which she would find out later was quite close to the truth. But at that moment all she could tell the children was that she had fainted, which disappointed them because they all wanted a detailed description of the snake, how much it weighed, how long it was, how many teeth it had, and what color it was. Sara simply didnt know, but it turned out all right because it left Mark free to make the snake as large and as colorful When siblings, BABYSITTING: November 6th and 13th bom 4 p.m. to 6p.m. Registration is $2. My Column By Sara and Max i 5 grade-scho- ol Edwards has to undergo this kind of criticism. But its worse on the high school level. Pity the coach who fathers an excellent athlete, forward looks sixteen or It would be wrong to say seventeen years to having him there are not instances in the on the team, then finds public land of sports in which nepoopinion so emotionally wrought tism works to a teams disup that every weekend becomes advantage. I speak from expera nightmare. No matter that ience, though. The coaches being athletically inclined by sons I've seen play have nature, the coach should quite deserved every minute of playlogically be expected to have ing time. The coaches, in been blessed with an athletiseveral different high schools, cally superior son (or daugh- Jlby the way, have not deserved ter). of criticism they the It's a hell the coach has to had plethora to take in deciding to go live . through. Its part of the job. Its one of those places between the rock and the hard spot. A coach in this position, a person in a similar dilemma, simply does what he feels is best and takes the boot heel in the face. He plays the best player he has in whatever position that player is best suited for. His decision is for the benefit of his son or it is for the benefit of the team or school. daugh-ter-an- d ahead and play their sons. Whether Coach Edwards raised his eyebrows or not in the radio station, or wherever it was he sat answering questions, when the lady made her implication, I can only guess. But I do know it came across calmly on the radio, and in that particular case, the accusation it seemed was so absurd. 1 like his attitude. No wonder he can sell milk. I think I'll go out and buy a quart right know. Carla was prepared, had seen it all. What she had to say caught Saras full attention. Well, after you fainted, some dude in a tall, good-looki- n lettermans jacket picked up a heavy trash can and smashed the snakes head to a bloody pulp. That guy was good-looki- far-fetch- Ill tell you, Sara. Too bad you were passed out, you might have gotten his name when he carried you down the hall. now hadn't fainted when the snake bit her, she would surely have fainted when Max picked her up in his arms. It MUST have been Max Carla saw. HOUSE PLANS: Central Banlt Invites you to celebrate our 3rd Year Anniversary with us ,5 Sara felt her heart speed up tremendously when Carla told her this.

What happened in English? Carla had disappointment in her voice. She had enjoyed being Saras private psychiatrist for so long that it frightened her to think Sara might not be dependent on her anymore. Well, I think its that boy you saw killing the snake. Oh, Carla said flatly. 1 think I might have a chance of going with him. He looked into my eyes this morning in English, Carla, and it was just like that mushy stuff you read about in romance novels .
