That statement prefaced his brief remarks on the states retirement program and several other of what Barlow termed emotional issues before the state legislature this session. He compared the state retirement program which currently has a surplus, to the faltering Social Security program of the federal government. He said the legislature could vote to increase benefits because of the increased interest earned on surplus monies but that in two or three years we might not make as much interest and that the increased benefits would need to be cut, and we just dont see benefits LAYTON 'W ! i-- '' T r' !'4 cut. He indicated tlat he felt the increase could lead to a deficit in the currently healthy program. Barlow said that he prefers a proposal that would cut the amount employees would need to put into the program. He accused the State House of "stalling on a controversial' bill requiring children under 5. to be in restraints while traveling in automobiles. The Senate passed a proposal which would have required the child to be in a safety restraint when in the front seat only, but the House argued that point and Barlow said that it looks like that has died. A highly emotional bill dealing with cable television drew comment from the senator who said he felt certain that some sort of bill" would pass the - legislature. Most people in my area want some sort of standard, he said. A petition with the signatures 10 percent of the electorate legally brought the issue to the legislature and forces them to vote on the issue. Barlow said that one bill under consideration is more of over constitutionally less flawed acceptable and" and "more watered down than a law passed in North Ogden and later struck down in federal courts. It outlines what he termed a minimum community standard for programming in the area and said that it would poss ' ibly limit objectionable mate- - -- rial on cable channels to the late evening hours, and also define what the local minimum community standard would be. What would happen if the law is passed and then challenged remains debatable and Barlow did. say that "we are plowing new ground in that area. Redevelopment' drew some fire and the senator said that -- the legislature would have to do something about that. He said that he feared the redevelopment concept might skyrocket unless it is corrected and that he felt that in some instances it had been used to make one area more desirable than another right next to it. A decrease in school money received from taxes concerns him and he said that he thought possibly we would not be taking care of the overall city, county, and state, if redevelopment agencies skyrocket. Barlow also said that the current decrease in gas and oil prices could do more to discour: age drilling in Utah than an increase from 2 to 4 percent in severance taxes. That will be the determining factor, not the severance tax, he said. If they (the fuel companies) can buy it for less than .they can drill it for, it will affect the gas and oil drilling he said.

If you guessed any of the above, guess again. The large blue and yellow metal roller coaster known as Colossus is one of Lagoon Amusement Parks new features for the coming year. This brings us in line with some of the big parks, Ron Van Woer-deadvertising manager for Lagoon, said. Indeed the roller coaster is the most expensive ride ever put in at the large park. It also brings the number of roller coasters at Lagoon to a grand total of three. That is if you include the old wooden roller coaster and the Jet Star II a metal roller coaster. And if you want to compare price tags, the Jet Star II cost round $800,000, Van Woerden Woerden said. The track is 2,850 feet long. On the old coaster there is 2,500 feet of track, Van Woerden said. The old coaster course took about two minutes to complete. The new coaster ride'will last 1 minute and 45 seconds, Van Woerden said. The, coaster also has about 10,000 lights that will light up the ride in the evening. Perhaps the nearest roller coaster in the West that compares to it is the coaster at Knotts Berry Farm. It has several smaller loops but they go into a corkscrew configuration, Van Woerden said. Theres a coaster at a park in Geauga Lake in Ohio that also has a double loop. One of the n, .
