There will be a conference with Western Legislators, Western County Officials, Western Senators and Congressmen, and Western Governors to address the problems, pressures, and opportunities of being together, slicking together, and making a difference. The conference is hosted by the Western States Coalition and the National Policy Forum out of Washington D.C. The conference will be in Denver, Colorado. It will be headquartered at the Stapleton Plaza Hotel. This is an opportunity that has never before been available and au thorship of this goes to rural western legislators, multiple land groups, and the National Policy Forum. State Representative Met Johnson, who is the coordinator, says that the sleeping giant is finally beginning to wake and this is only the first of many meetings to make a difference, and whether you call us the Cowboy Caucus, the rural legislators, or by whatever name, we are finally creating a defense that will be adequate to the offense for those forces that are trying to destroy the rights and values that rural Westerners have and will protect. and Charlie Jankiewicz, Price District Ranger, wishes to warn the public that unauthorized winter recreation traffic along this route could be extremely hazardous.

The Bradleys along with the four-sta- r i Thank you for your great response to my poll that was recently printed in the newspaper. The first week of the 1994 legislative session is going very well. Its great to have the states income, we may be able to provide additional funds for education as well as some programs and projects that have needed to be done for some time. You may be interested to know that a tax cut is also being considered. These two issues were both rated as high priorities on the recent poll. All levels of government are growing too fast. I believe that in a year of surpluses, the taxpayers of Utah deserve a tax cut I have been very impressed with Governor Leavitts leadership on these issues. I was very fortunate to have been able to talk personally with him about these issues as well as the problems currently facing funding for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). I am committed to obtaining the emergency funds needed from the general funds by the DWR. This emergency is a result of a major decline in hunting license sales due to low numbers of deer and pheasants. License sales account for 90 of the DWR budget The Legislative Fiscal Analyst recently reported that Wildlife Resources budget has increased more than $53 million since 1990. This is an increase of 7 1 full time equivalent employees. At no time did the Legislature reduce the agencys budget In fact the budget increased 373 from fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year 1994. A study done in 1993 by an independent wildlife management consulting group recommends a reduction of 20 middle managers from the central office and 8 from regional offices. It was also recommended that Native Wildlife and Endangered Specks department by combined with the appropriate fish and wildlife programs. This was not done by the legislature as some believe, but by the Department of Natural Resources itself. We are very concerned with the disruptions and morale problems that accompany the process of laying off employees. We are also concerned about the elimination of research that is essential to the management of big game. Thank you for your support and interest. It is important for me to have your input in these matters. Please feel free to contact me at the Capital or send me a during the Legislative session.

I have been fortunate this first week to have two bills passed by legislative committees. House Bill 10 doubles the liability of parents whose children damage property. The object of this is to encourage parents to have increased supervision, involvement, and responsibility, with their children. The second bill (H.B. 106) Helps Cities and Counties. Currently, the gas tax money collected in Utah is distributed 75 to State Government, -- 12.5 to counties, and 12.5 to cities. State law mandates that 30 of the tax gas money distributed to cities and countries be spent on new road construction. This is an unreasonable mandate to local governments when they are often struggling to just maintain the roads they already have. House Bill 106 will repeal this mandate to local governments. to similar legislation in House Bill I have signed on as a 130. This bill would decrease the states portion of gas tax to 70 and it would increase the cities and counties to a 15 portion of gas tax. I have had one major disappointment in providing supplementary funding for the Division of Wildlife Resources. I gathered legislative support for funding a different, attrition based. Division of Wildlife Resources reduction in work force. With this support I went to the Governor and die director of Natural Resources with the offer of supplemental funds. I was told that the DWR work force reduction needed to continue expeditiously and, I am optimistic however about continuing the Thanks, but no thanks. for Basin the Great funding Experimental Station in Ephraim. The DWR faces grave funding difficulties with the prospects of a statewide limited entry deer hunt and reduced revenues coming into the DWR. I believe that DWR should not rest its whole existence on the sales of licenses. Many others are committed to help me to adequately fund the DWR and their programs.

County Commission notes Continued from Page , Michael R. Styler And children should know something about the people who are raising them. A picture will form from the little stories they hear us tell. It occurs to me that my kids cringe when I start off with, When I was little... because they know its going to be a lecture about the possibilities of perfection once attained. And I should know better. Because years ago I loved to hear the words, "When I was little... I knew I was going to hear a story. A story about growing up on a farm in Mississippi and putting eggs in his sisters shoes or tipping over out houses or running away from a sharecroppers cotton fields to join the Army at 16. Or a story about growing up in exotic Panama or helping her mother sell fruit or falling in love with a Gringo soldier. Dont use you past as a lecture. Tell your children your story. There are lessons in the simple telling. Tell them. Tell them who you really are. 4 1 be inconceivable that a mother who prided herself on never comparing her sons to each other would make a habit of comparing them to herself.

Theyd think he didnt know me at all. always did as we were told. At least thats how so many of ns distinctly remember it And when we think to tell our kids something of our childhood days, its usually in the contest of scolding them for something they did. Or failed to do. And isnt it convenient that we have ourselves to rely upon as timeless examples of courage, thrift, fortitude, industry, respect and good hygiene. , , News from the State.
