G1MSER NOTES 'oSr-- -' last week, a gentleman came in to visit with me about starting a major new retoil business in Payson. He asked many pointed questions about how successful I thought a new business could be in our community. I thought I might share some of this businessmans concerns about locating here. Generally, he was quite positive about coming to Payson. With the population base that is here, including our rural areas, we felt that there are ample customers to support a number of new businesses in town. My friend, though, did wonder about how supportive the people of this area would be of new business. 1 indicated that the buying public would spend their money here if he was competitive. In other words, those of you who shop in This Carter earns Provo or Orem would be glad to keep your dollars in town if you could get comparable values for your money meaning service, price, convenience, and travel costs. My friend felt that my statement was fair enough. Our goal as a Chamber of Commerce is to attract as much new retail, wholesale, commercial, and industrial business as we possibly can. Doing this can only expand our ability to help the buying public stay in town to shop. We will give the public every reason possible to keep their dollars in the community, thus expanding the tax base and the ability to improve services. We do hope our inquiring friend will locate his new store in Payson. If he does, give him a chance to succeed.

More specifically, where and how is the money allocated for the roads being spent? In my observation, it seems it is being wasted and almost thrown away! Take for example how the road department brings in piles of huge rocks and boulders and places them down the middle of the streets one week and then comes and removes them the next. How they brought in loads of dirt and dumped them on 5th South, across from the Stake Center, one day, came and removed the dirt the next and brought in other loads of dirt the following day. (That dirt has been sitting there for over a month now.) Why wasnt the proper dirt and fill brought in the first case? Along 7th West, periodically, you can see the street department grating and watering the dirt and gravel that constitutes a road, they work on that project faithfully for one day and then you dont see them again for a couple of weeks, at which time they grate and water again. Why dont they pave the road the way it should be instead of wasting their time and efforts r over and over , again in this senseless manner? 1 hear they cant pave the roads on 7th West and 5th South because they dont have the blacktop to do it, yet I noticed today they have completely recovered all the roads in the subdivision above 8th South, all of these were perfectly good roads to start with. What was the reasoning behind this? I cant help but wonder about the people running this town and heading the Streets Dept. Why cant they finish the projects they start before going on and making another mess elsewhere? The street on 7th West has been in its sad condition for over one year and unless it is paved within the next six weeks, it will have to sit until next year; at which time they will have to start grating and bringing in dirt again and starting all over. As a citizen and taxpayer of Payson, I am very concerned about the citys lack of expertise in this area and for one wuld like to know HOW COME & WHY THIS IS HAPPEN 1NG1 Where is the common sense in it all? Pat Reece 692 West 500 South Payson, Utah i Forty-si- x Boy Scout troop leaders or potential leaders attended the 1982 session of the Troop Leaders Training course, known as the Timberline Training. It was held at the Hobble Creek Scout Canyon Camp in Springvillc July 31 thru August 7, 1982. This was one of eight youth leadership camps conducted by the Utah National Parks Council Boy Scouts of America. Each is held in an outdoor setting near a large number of scouts, so the attendance can be large. Boys from Utah County and Juab County were there, even some from Salt Lake City. The boys are assigned to patrols in such a way that they are working with strangers, not their home town buddies. They erect their own tents, set up their own camps by patrols and keep them clean. They are taught the basic skills of leadership, such as the group, representing learning the resources of the group, counseling, setting an example, teaching new skills and many others. These skills will make them leaders throughout life, not just during their tenure as scouting leaders. These are the future leaders in their communities. Payson scouts who attended the camp were Dwayne Keck, Troop Brent Bardley, Gerritt 911; Heatherly and Scott Jones, Troop 198; and Val Meredith, Troop 96. Adult volunteer leaders supervise the camp. They provide resource knowledge on scouting skills to back up the youth leaders, a group of older, experienced boys. These youth leaders actually run the camp. They planned it, organized it and lead all activities. That is the heart of the Scouting movement - boys leading boys, under the guidance of experienced volunteer adults. One of the benefits of being affiliated with other Utah writers and teachers is that I get to read what they write. The following story is one Id like to share with you readers who teenmight need to be reminded of what it was like to be a ager and in love." POMEGRANATE AGE by Dianne Keetch Anderson May I kiss you good night? My head was resting on his huge shoulder. He smelled of Old Spice, the warm spring night and some musky odor all of his own. His throaty voice had been like soft fingers touching the base of my neck. No one had ever asked me that before. My high school dates had always just turned and planted a sloppy, fearful kiss somewhere in the vicinity of my mouth. Or they had quickly rushed me hto my house, to avoid the embarasslng, awkward moment when we said good night. But never, as told my best friend Norma the next day, never had I been I asked! No. Salem Day celebration ', this week Scouts of the Month had given me a My Puritanical, Mormon I decided the next if and Norma day quick, unfelt, answer. that I had been a fool. After all, we reasoned, what was wrong with a kiss on the first date, if you really liked the guy, and if you really wanted to? Bill was 20, a football player for the Aggies, number 60, a guard. His broad shoulders and narrow hips moved with an but had animal grace and pride which was partially come mainly from playing rough contact sports, and from winning. At the two high school dances he condescended to take me to, his broad shoulders stretched his sports coat almost to the breaking point, as if there were energy inside wanting to be free. Every girl at the dance was aware of his presence; I could tell not so much by the way they looked at him, but by the way their eyes avoided both of us. His slow smile and moody eyes were set off by his soft Oklahoma drawl. He would whisper in my ear, softly calling me his ng i Payson Band Concert 1.

When I jumped into the seat beside him, I would reach over and honk the horn, to make sure I had the attention of all the lawn sitters. I would wave happily and link my arm through his, feeling sharp trills of happiness and of fear. I ached with the words of each love song, never really understanding. I was 16, a trembling ripe pomegranate age. wrote poetry, and also wrote Bills papers for English and history. I knew all of the reasons a marriage would never work. My middle class education and arts oriented life had been totally different from his. I was concerned about civil rights, modern art, and John Kennedy. But the reasons werent strong enough. I would marry him; I decided. My parents, was sure, would give in. would go with him to Oklahoma, live in a trailer while he worked on an oil rig. I would have gone even without marrying him.

The discomfort is generally located behind the sternum, or breastbone, and may radiate down the arms. On occasion, the pain may spread to other areas in the shoulder, upper abdomen, or neck. The pain has been described by e sufferers as crushing pain in the center of the chest, but it may be either mild or intense. It may also last from a minute to a half hour and may ever be mistaken for chronic indigestion. The pain associated with angina is due to lack of oxygen in the muscular wall of the heart. This vise-lik- lack of oxygen may be brought about by the narrowing of toe arteries that supply coronary blood to the heart. or Arteriosclerosis, fatty deposits on the walls of the blood vessels, is the most common cause of this narrowing. Obesity, a diet containing too much fat, heredity and a lack of exercise help to account for these fatty deposits. If you experience angina, see your physician. He can evaluate your problem and determine if there is severe damage to the heart. Most cases of angina are mild and may be treated by a physician. Angina is temporarily relieved in most cases by rest, time and nitroglycerin tablets. |
