Senate strikes down grazing fee increase Action by the US Senate, tabling a proposed hike in public lands grazing fees by a vote of 60-3and effectively killing the proposal in that house of Congress, has been loudly applauded by the Utah Farm 8, Bureau Federation. However, UFB Executive Vice President C. Booth Wallentine says while the Senate action tabling the House Interior Appropriations says halts further consideration of the grazing fee hike in that body, the conference committee called to craft the final Interior Department appropriations bill could resurrect the fee hike, spurring a whole new round of lobbying by western livestock interests. Weve won just the first round in what will be a major fight in Congress over this issue," he said. The grazing fee- - appropriations measure, being sponsored in the Senate by Senators Jim Jeffords and Howard Metzenbaum was tabled after lengthy debate Tuesday morning and intense lobbying by western agricultural interests. The bill must now go to a conference (R-V- (D-O- committee before final action can be taken by Congress. Senators Orrin Hatch and Jake Garn have, again, contributed significantly to the tabling of this potentially destructive measure for rural Utah through their lobbying of other senators," Wallentine said. We will be counting on them heavily again in the weeks to come, as well as other key members of Utahs congressional delegation, to defeat this particular grazing fee hike once and for all.

' Home and School: Vital Links by LILY ESKELSEN President, Utah Education Association I hate Reading. Kids who are thinking of reading this say with a capital R. They dont think of it as a verb. As something to do. They think of it as a subject In school. As something done to them from 9:30 to 10:15 Monday through Friday. Teachers try to make reading a life skill Parents can help. Think of how much you spend on pizza. Im not asking you to think of these things to make you feel guilty. Listen, when they asked me for a contribution to an office recipe book, I game them the number for Dominos. There are weeks when watching a home video is my only aerobic activity. Dont feel guilty. Just expand your definition of entertainment Kids love to go to the store. They love to make choices. They love their parents to buy them j, things. Ive tried buying books for my kids, and theyTl just sit there (the books and the kids). But they have an entirely different attitude when I announce theyve earned a special reward. HI set a price limit and let them become the consumers, choosing their own books. They spend (what at least seems like) hours making their selection, and they treasure what they bring home. Parents can help turn reading into a reward. We can move books out of the arena of dreaded homework and dry textbooks. We can fill in the gap between learning the skill of reading and loving the adventure of reading. With tight budgets, a familys entertainment dollars have to go a long way. Paperbacks cost about $3 less than most movies these days. A kid can blow a weeks allowance in about 15 minutes in a malls arcade or he can invest it in a malls bookstore, earning dividends of knowledge, skills, and just plain fun. - ) |
