The Music Man If anyone said this last week: "There's nothing to do in Kanab!" they apparently didn't attend the Kanab Stake presentation of "The Music Man", which played three days in the Stake Center to almost capacity crowds. Stand ovations were given the cast and crew each of the three nights, and rightly so, as the production would have to be classed as one of the very best stage performances ever presented in Kanab." Rehearsals on the ambitious undertaking began several weeks ago and culminated over the weekend with a very entertaining and for performance audience and cast as well. Patti Husted, director of the production, did a great job and while demanding top performance from her actors, still she was able to retain their love and respect. A very talented woman, who has acted and directed in various situations, she commendations from received watchers and actors following the performances. It would be folly to try to list and give individual praise to all who performed, directed, played and helped with "The Music Man", however those directly over the various portions of the show, under the overall direction of Mrs. Husted, came through in excellent fashion. Kourtney Stirland, who recently fun-fille- d moved to Kanab, did a great job with the orchestra, which by the final performance, gave real depth and feeling to the play. Patty Wilcox was in charge of the other music and there was little if any problems there when the play hit the final nights. Solos, duets, quartets and chorus e and connumbers were vincing to the audience. Dance numbers, directed by Darolene and Ivan Brown, added vitality to the musical production and blended well with the other music and the story of the play. Student director for the play was Nicole Cooper, and while learning a great deal about directing, she performed some invaluable services to the other directors. Many others were involved and deserve special thanks from the public which greatly enjoyed the production.' They include actors, stage hands, light people, technical advisors and on and on. Producers of the play were pleased with the attendance, for from the small charge made for admittance, expenses for scripts, music and etc. were met. Members of the cast got together Tuesday night of this week in a little more casual setting and enjoyed visiting, watching the show on video and eating. They met at the Husted home. To the actors, the directors, the well-don- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Handing Out Kisses for Music Man Dear Editor, 1 would like to use your paper to say a special Thank You" for the exceptional help 1 had with the publicity for "The Music Man".

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why Im Running To the Editor: Due to a previous commitment, I was out of town during the Meet the Candidates Night. 1 would like to take, this opportunity to introduce myself and briefly explain my position and qualifications. My decision to run for the school board was not precipitated by any specific issue or action, but rather a desire to serve in an area of my interest and experience. I believe all children should have educational opportunities to allow the pursuit of any current or future goals. A parental responsibility exists to instil positive attitudes towards work, discipline, and the educational system. An atmosphere should be present to permit teachers to do their jobs. The main issues are adequate facilities, sound curriculum, budgeting, discipline, parental involvement, and the career ladder funds. My experience and qualifications are as follows: I graduated Magna Cum Laude in my bachelor's degree; 1 taught during four school years in two different school district-o- ne very large and one comparable to ours; 1 have been a curriculum author; I have served as a department chairman. I hope to serve both you and your children in the capacity of a school board member. Please take advan-- 1 tage of your opportunity to vote in the August 21 primary election. Freedom of Press & Speech by Frank Canavan PRS. 1984 Frank Canavan Is Professor of Political Science at Fordham Unlver- -' sity. Themes The limits of the protection provided by the First Amendment are to be found by thinking carefully about the purposes of that protection. Editors Note: The freedoms of speech and press are among our most cherished rights. At the same time, many citizens have no dear idea of the meaning of these rights. Freedom to speak is not simply the right to say anything. Understanding a right means understanding its limits, that is, what is not permitted. These limits are discovered by an understanding of the purposes for which the rights have been secured. Above all, our freedom to speak and publish stems from our democratic form of government, In which the right to hold and express opinions on public questions is fundamental. Professor Canavan looks at the elements of the First Amendment for the keys to Its interpretation. . girl dancing in a peep show was protected by the first Amendment. She was, you see, expressing herself, though the Court did not bother to explain just what she was expressing. Finally, what governmental actions "abridge" the freedom of speech and press? That, of course, is the question that keeps the courts busy. There is no short and simple answer to it that can be given in this limited space. You would have to take a course in constitutional law to learn the Supreme Courts answer. Even then you might find the answer somewhat less than clear or consistent. Underlying all these questions, there is another question, and it is the basic one: why do we want freedom of speech and press? Note well that the question is not whether we want it but why. That we want freedom of speech and press may be taken as a given in this country, but we must still ask why we want it. What purpose does freedom of a naked coin-operat- ms hadow Estates Sincerely, (Sgd.) Dean Pepper Curbs, Gutters, Floo4ing, On City Agenda (Continued from page one) trucks use the rear entry whenever possible. Mr. Smith also wanted to know if they could have water for the old cemetery in Kanawood, so they could plant some shrubs and try and clean it up. The Council discussed where the water line was, and decided it was on the south side of the street where the cemetery is. Emma Houston addressed the Council concerning the signs at the entrances into Kanab. She said that since the State made them put the signs so far back from the road, they had to enlarge the writing on them. This is going to make the signs cost about S3, 000 each. She asked the City if they would give her another 51. 000. Councilman Fox made a motion to give Emma Houston the 51. 000. Motion 2nd by Councilman MacDonald. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Jenkins read a letter from Governor Scott Matheson asking the City to support the Share & Reach program. The State will institute a d matching program such that for each two dollars of private charitable monies raised by utilities, municipalities, and other energy providers, this year the State will match one dollar for a maximum of statewide. Councilman S300,000 Hawkins made a motion to write a letter to support this Share & Reach Program. Motion was 2nd by Councilman West. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Jenkins opened the three bids received for the Kanab City well. The bids were as follows: Cothern & Son $18,667.00; Silver & Rice - $17,437.00 (8 weeks approval); Cutler Pump - $15,955.00 (12 weeks delivery). Dan Merrell, Water & &. Sewer Superintendent, Brian Bremner with Creamer & Noble went into the City office to study the different bids. Later they suggested r, Steve accepting the Cutler Pump. Councilman West made a motion to accept the bid of Cutler Pump. Motion 2nd by Councilman MacDonald. Motion passed unanimously. state-funde- , The First Amendment bars government from "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." The meaning of this phrase may seem to be clear on its very surface, but it is not. If it were so cleat, we should not have, as we do, an unending series of cases before the U.S. Supreme Court to determine what freedom of speech and press means. Some questions will illustrate the ambicfiity that lies beneath the surface of the words. What is the freedom of speech and press? Despite what First Amendment fundamentalists keep telng us, it is not an absolute and unlimited That view, as the freedom. Supreme Court remarked in 1961, "cannot be reconciled with the law relating to libel, slander, misrepresentation, obscenity, perjury, false advertising, solicitation of crime, complicity by encouragement, conspiracy, an the like." It may be leaning too hard on a single word, but it seems to this writer that, when the framers of the First Amendment inserted the word the before "freedom of speech, or of the press," they indicated a freedom with some determinable limits. Again, what is speech? Uttering words by voice, of course. But what of "symbolic speech," that is actions intended to convey a message, such as parades in support of a cause, picketing, burning draft cards, burning the American flag, wearing black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War? All of these activities, and others besides, have been before the Court, which has laid down a somewhat fluctuating line between symbolic speech enjoying protection, on the one hand, and actions which government may regulate, on the other. Or, what is the press? When the First Amendment was written, a press was a device for printing words on paper. Now it may also be any device that projects sounds or images. If we invent a machine that projects tastes, smells, and tactile sensations as well, it, too, no doubt will come under the constitutional protection of the press. In recent decades there has been a marked tendency on the part of the courts to contact "the freedom of speech, or of the press" into a phrase "freedom of expression, which is not found in the Constitution. Freedom of expression covers live entertainment, even if no words are spoken and no thoughts are expressed. So, for instance, the Supreme Court decided in 1981 that speech and press serve that is so important that we, the people, should put it in our fundamental law and keep it there? It is on the answer to this question that all intelligent discussion of the meaning and limits of this freedom must turn. We cannot know what this, or any other constitutional freedom, means or what its limits are unless we are clear in our own minds on what we, as a people, are trying to achieve by it. The best way to celebrate the coming bicentennial of our Constitution would be to engage in serious thinking and discussion of its most important clauses, of which the freedom of speech and press clause surely is one. It is not enough to on our ourselves congratulate freedom to speak and publish. We need to ask ourselves what great purposes, both public and private, ' make this freedom worthy of coqg.UqtiQual protection. .Then we may formulate some rational idea of where the boundaries 6T the freedom are.
