Show THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, June 16, 1988 sa r 1U 1 1 C-- f-1 Out My Window ' 4 i uiei craaiora ' among us who is not a different person today than what we were ten, five or even one year . ago. We take that for granted. M One person can kill hundreds of people and be called a hero. Statues erected in his honor, medals pinned upon him and acclaim given for the rest of his life. Another can kill but one person and be executed for it. And the difference? The only difference is the motive. What was their motive? For one it was home, country, ideals and the For the other it was passion, anger, perversion. Last Friday morning I was one of nine media to witness people . . . and the only woman the death of Arthur Gary Bishop. Three people, in a shrouded room, dispensed the serum which killed Bishop and I dont know what their motive, was. Obeying the law? Their job? Assigned to it? Volunteers? ... Yet, we execute people for 'who they were and not for who they are. But how can we judge? We are no Solomons and many a parole board has been filled with horror, when one whom they paroled in good faith, commits the same kind of horrendous crime after being freed. We are not that wise. tiTiTSE Bernice Brown Honored On 80th Birthday Bernice Lane Brown of Sandy will celebrate her 80th birthday on June 18th, with an open house. The occasion, hosted by her children, will be held at the Bicentennial Park Pavillion, 530 E. 8680 South, between the hours of 6 and 9 p.m. She was bom May 1, 1908 in Sandy to James and Emma Lane. She married Doyle H. Brown in October 1926 in Farmington, Utah. He is now deceased. ... But back to Bishop. He was given as was last September . . . every consideration during his last days. He was given what food he asked for . . . could even fast if he wished to do Selby of so. Chosen visitors were allowed, calls could be taken and he even had the right to ask who, in his personal life, he wished to witness his execution. What a huge difference to the "consideration" he gave his victims. Children. Children, who, in our culture, are taught to respect adults, to obey adults, and are afraid of punishment if they dont. They were his victims. Young children who did not stand a chance even if they tried to fight off his advances, for, once his hands touched them, they were doomed. Yellowstone Honeymoon For The David B. Glovers last Friday morning at 12:01 a.m. was not an everyday occurrence for me or for anyone Yes, I dont know, and it really doesnt matter to me for that is their karma and none of mine. I was there because . . . well, because there is that facet of Ethel which wants to see what is going on in the world; and secondly, there is also a part of Ethel that felt I feels a great dichotomy in our world and our moral code. And that part of Ethel seeks answers to inner questions that the law and our moral code do not answer. We are taught from childhood to never take a life. It is so imbedded within us that we are shocked when we hit a cat, dog or duck with our car, and, when one of our pets becomes so ill that the Vet recommends putting it to sleep, we cringe and suffer. The instinct to preserve life is so strong that after some horrible crime we spend untold dollars as well as months and years before we can justify an execution. And even then, the task is delegated to dozens of people so that no one can say, "I killed him." And, theres another thing. There is not a one else there. if I ever have the chance to again be a witness to an execution I shall do so. I know full well that there is a person in there. A person like me who thinks, feels, cries, laughs and loves like me. But, there it stops, for in them there is a facet that is not in me, and is not in you. There is a facet in them that enjoys anothers suffering. Yet, I had hoped that being a witness to this execution would help me clear my thinking and show me exactly where I stand. It didnt, for there is much I still question in myself, the prisoner and in our system. I pray nothing but peace of mind now for the families of Bishpps victims, his victims and for Bishop. I pray God they get it, for I cannot give it to them, you cannot give it to them, the law and the execution cannot give it to them. The offender, the victim, the families, the law and the witness, we are all the same and what peace we find must come right from within ourselves.
