Lets go to press! Have you ever been to Sterling? Well, they have what this reporter thinks is THE nicest lunch spot in Sanpete. Its called "Roughcut Creations" and is located on the road to Palisade State Park. The ladies who run the operation do a great job on the food. The atmosphere is wonderful with great views and a " charming building. Try this one.. .its great!! Another spot discovered is in Mt. Pleasant. "Main Street Subs" is the name I remember from my visit last week. Great staff!! Good Food! AND what has to be the greatest TV in Sanpete. See you on Monday night for footbalT and food. Have you noticed all the lambs being shipped to market this time of the year? Not too many places still produce lamb in these large quantities. Manti alone has shipped 25,000 head in one season. This is a very hard industry to succeed in... many variables... predators, shipping problems, the weather, changing market demands, etc. With the end of the wool subsidies in sight, it might well be the end of another era. Manti High School is five and oh!!! If you didnt know, they beat North Summit and underthey were an eight-poidog going into the game. Jason Rich, a recent transfer from Daytona Beach, FL, caught one of two interceptions in that skirmish. Keep up the good work MHS and Coach Calvin MT.

Jerry Ferguson Vice President, Farm Safety Utah Farm Bureau Federation Of all farm implements, the tractor is the most universal. In addition to handling field work easily, it often doubles as a fork lift, front-en- d loader, tow car, shuttle car and PTO power plant. Tractor safety is essential in any season. Hazard awareness and development of safe working habits require vigilant attention on a daily basis. The tractor continues to be the number one killer on Utah farms. Between 1990 and 1993, 14 people died while using tractors, fatalities. representing 26 percent of all farming-relate- d rear and rollovers 11 of the deaths. accounted for Sideways d fatalities resulted from bystanders and passenOther gers being run over, falling from tractors and being crushed by or getting caught in the power take-ofTractor accident prevention depends on thorough knowledge of the machines and their operating characteristics. All tractor drivers, even the most seasoned, will benefit by reviewing safety guidelines listed as follows: Read operators manuals and follow operating, maintenance and safety recommendations. Before starting, walk around the tractor to make a visual check for bystanders, particularly children, 'and obstacles. Never start tractors while standing on the ground. Always be seated in the operators seat before starting. Tractors should be equipped with rollover protective structures (ROPS) and seatbelts. While it isnt always convenient to wear a seatbelt while on a tractor equipped with ROPS, its the essential piece of equipment that helps the ROPS work by keeping the operator seated should the tractor tip over. Dont allow riders to accompany operators at any time. SMV signs must be clean and bright to be effective. Lock brake pedals together before road travel. When using towed implements, use safety hitch pins and chains. There should be a first aid kit mounted on the tractor, and kept one-ho- ur Jeremy Scott Taylor, son of Roscoe and Dorothy Taylor, has been called to serve in the Taiwan, Taipei LDS Mission.

Make sure the extinguishers rating matches the expected use. Steps and platforms on tractors and implements should be free of mud and tools. Eliminate any debris. Steer clear. of hazards such as ditches, steep hills and other areas where tractors could tip over. When using front-en- d loaders travel with the bucket low to avoid tipping sideways. The center of gravity is seriously affected by a raised bucket. Driving with the bucket raised, irrespective of the problem it may create with frontal view, is asking for trouble. Read the operators manual and participate in equipment training. Hydraulic mounted equipment should be lowered to the ground before the operator leaves the tractor. If it must remain elevated for maintenance, it should be blocked or chained 4 in position, but not for any extended time period. All towed loads should be hitched to the drawbar, never higher.

Bob McCaul was assistant director, with Rebecca over the music. entertainment The of song and dance was a nice t appetizer to the main course. Irene was first done on , Broadway in 1917. The story made me think of - ' "My Fair Lady and "Cinderella." The poor, unrefined, Irish girl with a strong will is transformed into a Cindy Hall, as Irene, gave a fine speaking and singing performance. David Hall, as Donald, was credible as the wealthy sponsor of Irene and, of course, as her eventual romantic partner. There were several perLee formers who shined. Thurston, as Madame Lucy, (thats right, Madame: though he was not m drag) was a delight. He had some killer comic lines, being the fashion designer. As instructor of charm and graceful walking to Irenes absurd and hilarious friends played by Katheryn Van Leeuwen and Leslie Powell, he earnestly advises, "The bust has a life of its own." (You had to be there.) Helen Thurston hardly had to act to be the elegant Mrs. Marshall. When told, upon introductions, "Its a pleasure to meet you," she replied, "Yes, Im sure it is." Judy Gublers Highland Fling was a lively piece of dancing. Mark Lyons, who teaches drama at Gunnison High disproved the adage, "Those who cant do, teach." The music was pleasant and well done. Randy and Colette Hansen get high marks for the choreography. Their ballroom was a dancing in the well. as Sanpete highlight residents are fortunate to have an active community theater which gives many a chance to get on the stage and fulfill themselves artistically.
