Show r nn AHvorate, 87 - Price, ISA I E to the editor Bike 'n Tie is mention here individually, your combined generosity has created a large amount of good considered success To the editor: All things considered, the organizers and sponsors of the Price Bike n Tie race feel the event was a success. Every racer who entered loved the course. It was a challenging 24.1 miles. All indicated they would like to come back again next year and bring other teams with them. Unfortunately, only one of the three hot air balloons which came down for the race made it into the air and then only for a short time. Wind conditions made it almost impossible to fly. We would like to thank pilots Ray Leake, Clint Handcock, Rex Harris and their crews for coming to Price and making the attempt. Hopefully, they will return next year with several other pilots and their balloons. Special thanks go to Mark Bunnell who put together the race course. His help with marking the course and with volunteers was most ap- preciated. We are grateful to the many people who showed up to act as volunteers. We could not have conducted the race without their help as course marshals, sweepers, water station personnel and intersection blockers. The merchants in Price were very cooperative and helpful when our staff called to ask for prize donations. Each gave what he or she could. I know that the race participants and volunteers will enjoy their prizes (totaling approximately $1,000) which ranged from $5 grocerygas certificates to merchandise and meals worth a great deal more. Thanks to all who contributed! While you are too numerous to be a Dino. I like the name Dino. My teenager friends are Dinos and their mothers and fathers were Dinos. I want to be a will. Our deepest appreciation goes to Jae Potter of the Carriage House Inn. Without his support, this race would not have occurred. He provided rooms for our staff and arranged for various dinners and breakfasts for volunteers and sponsors. He organized the race day food and drinks, and picked up a lot of the detail work that helped make the race successful. Jae Potter was absolutely delightful to work with. Thanks to everyone, we look forward to the second annual Price Bike n Tie race next football Dino.

Sincerely, Fred D. Thaller, director From 1st grade To the editor: I think the name Dinos is neat. My mom and dad were Dinos, and I want to be a Dino. Most of my friends will be Dinos. I thirds it will be fun. I think my mom and dad will not let me play a sport. I do not care, just so I can watch the Dinos play. DavidS. Anderson 1st grade Sally Mauro School stated that the first image conjured up when someone says dinosaur is, large lumbering reptile, as slow of mind as it is of motion. Sorry, Mr. Zehnder, I must respectfully disagree. The last Dino mascot I saw more closely resembled a tyrannosarus. Ask Doc Dorman or Don You Burge about this powerful, enormous, engine of destruction, armed with rows of pointed teeth, jaws hinged to a huge skull in a manner that gives it a mouth of inordinate gape. This is the first image conjured up in my mind when someone says dinosaur.

I think I like the Dinos. My parents were Dinos. I want to be a Dino. I like the Dinos. I like the Dinos for a name. I think the Dinos should not be changed. Bradley J. Goranson, 1st grade Sally Mauro School long-legg- To the editor: brother is a Dino. I want to My ed shows. I always looked up to them with admiration, much and very proudness respect. I want you to know, Mr. Zehnder, with proudness, I heard many stories from my father, the late Steve Milovich, Sr., about the tough Carbon High Dinos. My father, brothers, uncles and many of my cousins played one or more sports as Carbon Dinos. My uncles, Louis Mele and the late Pete Milovich, along with my second cousin, Amadeo Beacco, played on the Carbon High School football team that won the state Class A championship in 1951. Yes, those lumbering reptiles kicked the pants off the when there boys from were only two classes of high school athletics in the state. Does tradition mean anything to you? Insofar as the the stigma it places on our kids comment, let me assure you I never once felt any stigma of embarrassment or disgrace when I took the field as a Carbon Dino, nor did any of my classmates. Suffice it to say that if you have nothing better to write about than suggesting a change in the mascot for Carbon High, you should consider allowing the readers of the Sun Advocate to put the space for your colunn to better use. Perhaps a comic would be more apstrip up-sta- te propriate. Methinks youve been in the sun too long, looking for one too many ghost towns. A Dino till the end! And mighty proud of it.

To be sure, there are many outspoken opponents of reform, including trial lawyers and consumer activists like Ralph Nader. But while they rant and rave loudly against reform, their words are long on volume and short on logic. The general thrust of their argument is that the insurance industry, not the legal system, is primarily responsible for the liability insurance crisis. Insurance companies are making money hand over fist, they contend, and could easily afford to write liability policies if only they werent so greedy. boils down to making certain the income exceeds the outgo. An insurance company has two main sources of income money paid to it in premiums for policies and money made through investments of those premium dollars. An insurance company has one main expense other than personnel and administrative paying insurance claims. Thus, it is imperative that every insurance company make certain its income from premiums and investments will exceed its payout for claims. To accomplish this, they make projections based upon experience. They are able to surmise, for example, that a driver with a clean record is less likely to have an accident than one with three drunken driving costs Bookcases Insurance companies c are There is nothing mysterious about the insurance business. As in any business, it basically project the payout on claims. Today, we see the cost of insurance liability going through the roof, in some cases unavailable at any price, and the reason is simple. The law d and has become so insurance that unpredictable companies can no longer make rational projections of what the payout on claims will be. open-ende- Liability insurance has become a form of Russian roulette that insurance firms are reluctant to get involved in, Old Wellington School, Room 2.
