Sponsored by the Fillmore Ambulance Team, the course is written by the Utah Safety Council. Lecture and movies showed students how to drive more safely by driving defensively. Dave Icct.rcr, Rhicmcr, explained often those who need the point reduction never earned another demerit after attending the DDC school. Points for defensive driving included staying two seconds behind the car in front; slow down; and remember to use scat and safety belts. While none of the ambulance team needed point reductions, each earned recertification points in the National EMT continuing education program. :: TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS: You have always demanded a lot of news from your hometown newspaper. More than who visited whom and who is marrying whom. You have wanted to know whats happening in your politics and what your public officials are doing. You have wanted to keep abreast of the crime and abuses and tragedies. You have wanted opinion and information on the education of your children. But your newspaper cannot keep you informed unless we have access to public records. We can not tell you what is happening unless our public officials are straight forward and honest. I guess so, I dont know, and urn urn are not considered reliable sources. So we can not tell you this week whether the large generator was turned on at your medical facility during a power outage. We feel that the original question was fairly unimportant, and was asked only as a part of the story on the power outage. We are benefitted with rights as you are, to examine public records and talk to our public officials. We are entitled to give you the news. But without talking, informative public officials, we cannot. Our inquiries were countered with Why should YOU be concerned? Yes. indeed, why should we be concerned. Outside of the fact that we are supposed to have medical facilities immediately available, why should we be concerned. Outside of the fact that we arc supposed to have EMERGENCY communications, why should we be concerned. Outside of the fact that maybe were just plain interested in our (or water bill should concerned. we be supported) hospital, why We have our standards for news reporting and that is the job of our editor. As we sec the job. it is not the duty of the government to edit us. institutions in Your public and this county include the hospital, city, county and district courts, law and officers, all county and city elected and appointed officials, commissioners and mayors, federal agriculture agencies, social service agencies, and state appointed regulatory agencies. Most are helpful when it comes to news gathering. The true strength of rulers and empires is not in armies or emotions, but in the belief of men that they are inflexibly open and truthful and local. As soon as government departs from that standard it ceases to be anything more than 'the gang in possession,' and its days arc numbered." -- H.G.
