Show V Page Two - The Pyramid - September 16, 1998 mummy ,:K2ShSi Dear Editor: Merrill Ogden Lest we forget Last May, I was in Media Play in Orem. There I met Cato Jaramillo. She was sitting at a small table autographing copies of her book "To Stub." born to Die: a Child of These opportunities are nice for the public to personally meet the author of books they have read or are going to read. There werent many people pressing at the moment so my daughter and I had a nice chat with Cato. She was warm and personable and poked fun at herself and her accent which wont go away despite years of America. We bought Catos book and it became a gift to my wife for Mothers Day. Through that book purchase and series of circumstances, Cato is appearing in Ephraim tomorrow as the Snow College convocation speaker. The convocation series of speakers is an outstanding "perk" for us in Sanpete living near Snow College. A couple of weeks ago, this space was devoted to a review for the movie "Saving Private Ryan." Mention was also made of the fact that our Wold War II vets are an "endangered species." Some of you have commented your agreement to me of the value of this resource. The problem with this "endangered species" is that when the current population of veteran are gone; they are gone. There isnt any "California Condor" type program available for this segment of our society. The same concept applies to Cato Jaramillo.

Government wages, government employee benefits, interminable government "study, government accounting practices and government catering to incessant environmentalist appeals all add to the cost of a timber sale. There is no way that the value of timber can appreciate in the open market to offset these expenses. If a person owned a million acres of forest, would that person lose money selling the harvestable timber? Of course not. That person would not have to destroy the productive capacity of his forest to make this profit either. As for UWFCs woeful litany of consequences of timbering one High school picture retakes Thursday, Sept. dwindling. Cato was a child in Nordhausen, so she is somewhat younger then many who experienced the horrors of those places. The point is that opportunities to hear first hand accounts of eye witnesses and events of this part of history are becoming more rare every day. Its important that we avail ourselves of the opportunities when they come as near and conveniently as this one. Much of Catos message focuses on people treating each other with respect and love. She is concerned with some of the trends in society which indicate that selfishness and hate are on the rise. Gang activity and supremacist type groups are particularly disturbing to her. If you can break away for your lunch hour on Thursday, Ill see you at the Crane Theater. Im confident that it will be a time to remember. September Sanpete Notes: Its a great time to live in Sanpete.

It is in the best interest of this nation and of our forests that they be sensibly harvested. It is irresponsible and naive to maintain otherwise. If the government cannot sell its timber at a profit it is not the timber industrys fault. It is a problem with government bureaucracy owning and controlling the productive capacity of the forests. offer wifL. i al (ee(L We were having so much fun our organizing and running mock companies," said Angela Blackham.that we didnt realize until it was all over how much hard work we had accom" plished. 7.

"This simulation is the next best forests. They will burn. They will, in their climax stage, succumb to disease and die, and then they will burn. Or, they can be harvested using modern techniques and scientific forest practices. Each of these end consequences hold the possibility of creating the circumstances decried by UWFC. However, only commercial harvesting provides the opportunity for managing, controlling and limiting these consequences. This is what modern forest management is all about. Only commercial harvesting produces fiber to meet human needs, employment for families and tax revenue in the form of income and sales taxes to support essential public services including restoration activities on the for-cs- t.
