Recent problems have occurred in the new building and the School has increased recently, Break the cycle Letter was unfair Juveniles are attributed with much of the crime in Sanpete County. Last week, for example, the sheriffs office handled a number of calls for ungovernable, intoxicated juveniles, thefts and other problems caused by juveniles. While juveniles dont create all the police traffic and some crimes go unsolved, it is still known that juveniles are responsible for a growing share of petty crime. The lucky ones are those who get caught, are punished and dont repeat the offense so they can clear their criminal record. Once an adult, however, if not halted, juvenile crime can become increasingly more serious, not just for the offender, and his victim but for those who must apprehend and punish as well as those who must pay for the criminal justice system the taxpayer. The following is an open letter to teenagers distributed by The State Policeman and reprinted here through the permission of the Sanpete Sheriffs Office. Why? Vandalism and malicious mischief? Your parents do not owe you entertainment. The world does not owe you a living. Your city does not owe you Dear Editor: Your paper recently published a letter from Louise Liston, Garfield County Commissioner, questioning the motives of those who oppose paving the Burr Trail. Over the course of the past year I have had occasion to meet and talk with Mrs. Liston. I am saddened that she should feel compelled to make this unfair attack. We believe it is in the publics interest to leave the Burr Trail You can best unpaved-perio- d. appreciate the BurrTrail and the lane around it by travelling at a leisurely pace on a road that lies lightly on the land. We have advocated maintaining the Burr Trail as it is with minimal improvements, such as a bridge at Bullfrog Creek and hardening of certain stream crossings. Anyone can use the Burr Trail most any day of the year if they will take the usual precautions for desert driving. Moreover, the recently paved Boulder Mountain road offers a safe, amusements. You owe the world something! You owe it your time and energy, and your talents, so that no one will be at war, or in Reef National Parks. Why should we pave more roads at great expense to the state and nation when the existing highways have not been adequately publicized?

All new road construction on public lands should be subject to modem environmental analysis, permitting processes, and public review. We strongly question the propriety of spending millions of state and federal tax dollars to pave a road through a wild desert landscape, when the chief beneficiary, intended or not, is a huge resort and casino owner. A 1985 study by the State Office of Planning and Budget concluded that paving the Burr Trail would create only five jobs in Garfield County by 1990 and nine jobs by 2000, while Del Webb Corporations resort at Bullfrog would gain 23 and 46 jobs respectively. We all care about southern Utahs magnificent wild landscape. None of us wants to see it ruined. But there are important questions of public policy at stake that deserve a full hearing before the public. An unpaved Burr Trail, winding as it has for decades through the canyons, can be both an economic asset and a public treasure for all to enjoy.

In plain, simple words, grow up. Quit being a baby. Get out of your dream world. Develop a backbone instead of a wishbone. Start acting like a gentleman or a lady. Your parents are probably tired of nursing, protecting, helping, appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating and denying themselves needed comforts for your whim and fancy, just because your selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality and thinking. Where can we go? What can we do? You ask? Go home. Paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Learn to cook. Scrub floors. Repair the sink. Get a new job. Help your pastor, Red Cross, Salvation Army. Assist the poor. Study your lessons. And when you are through read a good book. Juvenile crime is not a phase that teenagers will grow out of. It is a vicious engulfing cycle repeated in each generation. Its time the current juvenile generation decided to break the cycle, for good. EPHRAIM Plans are underway for the annual Scandinavian Festival to be held Saturday, May 28 according to LeMar Hanson and of the Lynn Poulsen, ' event. Meetings have been held the past months for organizing and planning for the day which will honor the Scandinavian ancestors of the people from this area. The all-da- y celebration will coincide with many activities being planned by the Snow College Centennial Committee. Committee chairmen will head the committees: following Vicky Grindstaff, secretary; McKay Andreason, physical arrangements; Marge Bennion, Scandinavian crafts and demonstrations; Enid Graser, Connie Dyreng, Scandinavian foods; parking lot. Two or three isolated problems with slashed tires, broken windows and littering have occurred in the school parking lot. In most cases, the offenders have been apprehended by the school authorities, who took immediate action. Richard Tree, vice principal of North Sanpete High School, has suggested that one of the ways vandalism can be stopped is to instill school pride and spirit in the students attending North Sanpete. By reversing peer pressure to advocate acceptable behavior, we might find a suitable solution to student vandalism, he said. Along with city law enforcement, school authorities have been able to control vandalism and littering in the parking lot. In addition, a $50 reward is being offered by the school district to anyone who can help the authorities apprehend persons participating in vandalism. Tree also stresses that the students attending North Sanpete High are doing a very good job at keeping the new high school looking 1, SANPETE VALLEY HOSPITAL Circus Parade.
