She was fourth overall among '' the ladies, as previously mentioned. Lorie Hutchison and Jana Carlson had 15-1- 19-2- of times CONTINUED FROM PAGE to the original Magna master Mike Retford indicate! he would with Jerry Barnes within the to provide additional positive input for the master plan. It was emphasized that the council desires to correct some historical misconceptions that are reported in the original master plan. Ms. McDermaid provided Mr. Shimizu with the overall objectives of the council regarding the proposed ar- -' boretum as well as details about the proposed mining museum and the general overview of Main Street redevelopment. Warren Nuesmeyer provided input regarding his committees efforts to establish a mining museum on Main Street providing additional specifics about the most recent efforts. Mrs. Junko Shimizu expressed a personal desire to bring tourists and tourism to thfe Magna area. She asked what is being Gone to identify points of interest for tourists to visit and whether it was being disseminated effectively outside the community. She stated that the mining museum was a wonderful idea and dial many foreign visitors would very much like to see something like this type of museum when they come touring. Candidate Shimuzu stated that the purpose of redevelopment was to focus on West Side needs. While serving previously as a county commissioner, he had been successfiil in supporting a retention of a business core on Main Street Magna and stated that, as a commissioner, he would continue to support both the expansion of the Arbor Park business district and the redevelopment of Main Street. The two areas have a somewhat different scope and emphasis, he stated, and deserve a joint focus and separated identity in terms of their respective needs. The museum theme, for example, he stated, was particularly suited to downtown Main Street. The copper theme such as a Copper foundry and the sale of copper products would mesh well with the museum concept. The real Salt Palace should be here in Magna, he stated, close to the Great Salt Lake. Junko Shimizu added that people would really like experiences like they used to have in years past such as coming to the Great Salt Lake Beaches and Saitair. Coming to Magna during such trips to see its history would be a natural part of the entire experience. Having a bed and breakfast establishment was mentioned as well as a honeymoon hotel was also suggested. Mention of the old Panama Hotel reminded some that honeymooning in Magna was once a reality. Mention of a depot at Magna for a train ride to the Great Salt Lake was also thrown out as a unique possibility and would fit right in with the other redevelopment ideas. This would resurrect the trip by train that used to start at the fairgrounds in Salt Lake. Art Flangas of the council reminded Mr. Shimizu that the realities of redevelopment over the years always required capital expenditures. Funds from die county should be part of those expenditures. He challenged Mr. Shimizu to bring in some county funding for capital improvements should he win the election. Mr. Flangas cited the delay on sidewalks along 8400 West as an example of the failure of both the county and the state of Utah to follow through with necessary funding for vital community improvements in Magna. Our struggle to make Magna what we dream it should be has to have the support of those in authority who will join in the effort, he added. Mr. Shimizu told the council members that he would want to see much of the highway funds, including those earmarked for maintenance, put into the development and construction sions plan. meet week Wilson speaks 1 to respond to the needs that Mr. Flangas alluded to in areas where capital funding was essential to getting We have a need for needs addressed. vision and direction in the area of thinking, he stated and indicated he had the insight to respond with such vision and leadership. He told Mr. Flangas he would make getting these funds in place a top priority so that important improvements would be made. Mike Retford told Mr. Shimizu that there has been a definite lack of vision on the part of the present county government regarding another vital community objective, a free standing library. The county government is looking at things the way they are and not as they ought to be, said Mr. Retford. Arbor Park should remain vital and viable, he continued, but the cultural part of the community ought to remain on Main Street. He cited examples of existing facilities to make his point. He also lauded Mr. Shimizu for his prior efforts as commissioner in support of Magna. Some of the Main Street core of business would have been lost without Mr. Shimizus foresight, he added. It will be dif- ficult to afford everything but there should be support for a core of important things, business and civic, to be placed here on Main Street, agreed Mr. Shimizu. I view your ideas with enthusiasm, he told the council. If I am successful in my campaign for county commissioner, I want to look at Magna as one of the areas that we want to strongly support to encourage development. Laura Jo McDermaid thanked Mr. Shimizu for being the only former or present commissioner to take the time to be present for special community council functions, and the only one responsive to the need for a recreation center in Magna which is now a viable reality. Junko Shimizu stated that Magna is an interesting and cohesive community. Your identity should strongly be she added. carried on, Mining should also be carried on and emAs the couple prepared to phasized. depart, council members kidded Mrs. Shimizu, suggesting that she would be the ideal candidate to be added to their redevelopment committee because of her evident enthusiasm for Magnas future. Extolling her as a lovely lady, Tom Shimizu acknowledged that his sweetheart was also a great campaign manager. Judging from the enthusiasm elicited by her presence, its likely he will be the envy of every candidate this fall as he continues to introduce himself and his voluntary campaign manager along the campaign trail. Ms. McDermaid also announced that die Bradley and Bangerter application for rezoning to establish automobile salvage businesses near 2100 South 8000 West are still under review by the County Planning and Zoning Commission. The Magna Community Council has opposed approval pending full assurance that the businesses will meet every criteria that would insure that there is full compliance with every appropriate community concern.

Binesh Prasad finished in 30:50, while Scott Hurd had a mark on his record as S.L. mayor Ted Wilson spoke to the Bonneville Kiwanis Club and told members that under his leadership as mayor of Salt Lake the city grew and prospered. I believe the record of Salt Lake City speaks for itself. During the ten years I was mayor, a new form of government was implemented, the citys budget was reduced, downtown development skyrocketed, jobs were created, and the airport was expanded, Wilson said. I have a publicly accountable record available for study. An investigation of public service and public records is the best way to determine how a politician will act in office and what that politician might be able to do in office. I did it before as mayor and I will do it again as governor, " Wilson said. The most important and lasting ac- complishment of my ten years as mayor was the successful change in the commission form of government to a mayor-counc- il form, Wilson said. Under dris form, the mayor has been able to legitimately exercise leadership and effect positive change in die city. From die time I presented my first budget to the council in 1980, and the last budget in 1985, it had declined in real terms from 88 million dollars to 78 and a half million dollars, Wilson said. Wilson said utility franchise taxes reached a peak level in 1978. When the change in government brought executive powers to the mayor I fought for reductions in the franchise rate from eight to six percent. This is a 25 percent reduction in the rate of taxes for utilities. Wilson said his record as mayor speaks clearly on his ability to help create jobs. During my ten years as mayor, employment in Salt Lake City went from 120,241 jobs to 168,251 jobs which is an increase of 48,010. My administration created a climate which invited development and cooperation with the private sector. During my years as mayor we embarked on the West Temple improvement plan which brought hotels such as the Marriott and the Red Lion. The International Center, west of the airport, was developed, and greatly expanded our manufacturing and warehouse capabilities, Wilson said. I am proud of my accomplishments during my ten year term. My record does not use deceptive statistics and is publicly available to the states citizens. It shows that I have fought against tax increases and reduced in real terms tax rates and revenues. When I say I will not raise taxes, I believe my record indicates I am able to keep this promise, Wilson said. 40:45 , respectively. 19-2- , ' of 40:46.

Peterson of Washington, D.C. has received the Superior Service award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He has served as a member of the Asset Sales Management Group which conducted one of the first and most successfiil sales of government assets as authorized by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986.

Theres only one problem finding families here who will adopt the students as one of their own for nine months. Host homes are urgently needed so that students can be suitably matched with families and schools before their weeks August arrival. It takes several to organize the match and to orient students and host families. Host families benefit greatly from well-educat- the cultural exchange, and the exchange students carry their memories back to their homelands to share with their countrymen. It is tiie hope of Youth Exchange Service (YES), the nonprofit organization which arranges the cultural exchanges, that world peace will be enhanced through its efforts. Since 1974, YES has brought more than 6,500 students together with host families throughout the nation. YES students are 15 to 18 years old, communicate well in English, are screened for good moral and ethical behavior, and have medicalaccident insurance. Students receive - ding money during their stay. Students are expected to act as a part of their family, integrating into their lifestyle and sharing as much of each others culture as possible. In addition to being an emotionally satisfying experience, hosting students has a tax deductible benefit of $50 per month.
