THERE HAS been some concern that some cities seeking block grants wouldn't qualify because they didn't meet the percentage requirement.

The next step will involve seeking small business administration licensure for Ihe corporation. explained Richard Nelson, couniy job training program director. A.

Cierlach added, noting seven million "Fortune 5(H)" company jobs have been lost within the past few years while 21 million have been created overall, nationally, noting a change to different sorts of jobs and businesses. THE COMMISSION also approved purchase orders for four vehicles, for Ihe road department and for Hood control along with purchase of two word processors for the planning department for $15,626.

We produce winners and achievers but not individuals who will make decisions by sorting all alternatives and picking the best solution which is not always the popular decision. He started his remarks by stating he was supportive of those who have made a commitment to excellence in schools. Members of organizations like these produce the best leaders in society." the Governor said. "It is important that when you perform well scholastically you also perform well in many other "Leadership requires cour- age.

SCOTT MATHESON velop leaders of sufficient number to perpeiuate civiliza- day? Is there one American leader you would like to emu- dominant civilization. He concluded that the failure to de- tion caused all civilizations to fail. Toyenbee's application of his historical theory to Western civilization was stressed by Governor Matheson when he asked students the questions. "Can you list ten extra- - special leaders in America to- late? How many Abe Lincolns exist in 1984?" Are we in a state of decline? Are you students capable of having an impact on our society?" GOVERNOR Matheson then referred to John Gard Matheson said he agreed with Mr. Gardner who stated the only real leaders are those who stand for the moral right. Leaders must be examples of the Christian ethic or the other religious or philosophical ethic that guides their actions. "We ought to take a stand and do what's right. This is our courage level. Take a stand under any set of circumstances and then take the consequences. the Governor advised the members of the Honor Society. REFERRING TO the educa tion situation in Utah. Governor Matheson stressed that we must invest in the leadership area of our youth. Solutions must not be a "bandaid" approach but rather a long term "dow n the road as long as the eye can see" decision. "We can't just maintain the status quo. We must invest heavily in the future. "Our quality is the product of our school system. We are com- peting against graduates of Tokoyoand Bonn high schools and the school systems of every progressive nation." the Governor stated. THE COMMITMENT io education in neighboring states has been made. If vye choose not to put a quality education first then we will lose the traditional position as a leader in education and in the work ethic that Utah has always maintained." the governor concluded. Finally, the students were urged to become involved in politics. "Find out who is running and where they stand" Governor Matheson challenged Layton's honor students. dmg ! J Grmt SadfLaske Gets All The Walter R. BLODGETT Clipper News Editor By GARY GREAT SALT LAKE - Just when things and the flooding tension began looking good Front was ease the to Wasatch slightly began -- -- - -- clobbered with another devastating snow storm. MORE THAN foot, and upwards to three feet of snow blanketed the peaks of the Wasatch Range last week - adding to the already woeful fears of flooding, reminiscent of the spring of A -- 1983. One State Climatologist said that water in the mountains of northern Utah is 75 to 100 percent greater than at the same time a accu-mulati- year ago. AND IT WAS a record-hig- h stream flow that caused millions of dollars damage to Davis County creeks, streets, residential and commercial properties last spring. Communities along the Wasatch Front are better prepared this year. In Davis County, $12 million was bonded for stream channel and street repairs. BUT JUST how much prevention will be necessary will depend on the intensity of the runoff. All that can be hoped for is an extended cool spring and a slow runoff. A quick rise in the temperature could cause worse flooding than was experienced last And any addiyear, said one climatologist. tional snowfall during the next few weeks will only add to the problems. g AFTER A December, there was a dry spell throughout January and the first two weeks of February. Then, whammie? A major storm dumped a foot of heavy, wet snow in the valley and up to three feet in the record-breakin- And there's only one place for the snow pack to flow - the Great Salt Lake. ALREADY, SCORES of homes in Woods Cross, West Bountiful and west' Farmington have reported high water tables and seepage into basements. Utah Department of Transportation officials have decided to raise Interstate Highway 80 west to Wendover - instead of continuing to dike the flooding areas. GOV. SCOTT Matheson is squaring off with a citizens opposition group over .whether or not to breach the Southern Pacific Railroad causeway, costing an estimated $3.5 million to $5 million. State Legislature has appropriated $3.7 million.' Level of the Great Salt Lake has already exceeded 4,207 feet and is expected to reach an e high level of more than 4,210 feet about sea level during the peak runoff. -- -- all-tim- INDUSTRIES along the lake's shoreline have already suffered extensive losses as a result of the rise in the lake - losses estimated to exceed $150 million if the lake rises only another two feet. Meanwhile, what can be done to alleviate the damages caused by the lakes rise? DIKING APPEARS to be only a temporary measure - but an essential move for lakeshore industries, utilities, residences and businesses. In the Bountiful area, the Salt Lake Gun Club is already under water. The South Davis Sewer plant and Bay Area Refuge Disposal (BARD) site are seriously threatened - and probably will be flooded if the lake rises as little as two more feet. The Farmington Bay Bird Refuge is largely under water and cannot be used this spring as an upland bird habitat. BACKUP OF the Jordan River with potential flooding in Rose Park and west Salt Lake along the river is being forecast by lake experts. All will depend on the anticipated peak runoff. -- -- -- J i |
