I am becoming very tired of your newspaper allowing such comments as radical environmental city slickers and the like to be printed. Is this not defamation of character? It was a snotty, threatening, disrespectful letter, and unfortunately I feel it pretty well represents the youth of this area. I believe in and respect tradition, but back home we call spray painting on rocks graffiti. Like it or not folks, times are a changin. Intelligent people all over the world are beginning to understand that we are in for serious trouble if we dont take steps to heal Mother Earth and care for her and guess what? Theyre moving here! Secondly, to Katherine for their wonderful dinners Southern Utah NEWS AAA Deadlines AAA FRIDAY 1 PM be- fore and after the service.
