Bob Hubbard Race Committee Kanab Heritage Dear Editor: May is Heritage and Preservation Month in Utah. Several groups have been busy in Kanab. The Red Rock Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers replaced the tall cedar posts for the grape arbor at the Heritage House, no easy task. Kanab City workers provided the posts. They will be appreciated for years to come. Gene Drakes Character Development Class demonstrated their prowess when they moved heavy display cases into the Heritage Library. They were very careful and very strong, and we are grateful for their efforts. The cases will be used for the exhibit planned for May 26, 27 & 29. It is wonderful when people work together. We all benefit. Sincerely, Jo Smith Kanab Heritage Council . Thanks Dear Community: Our family would like to thank everyone for the love and support you have given to us in our time of need.

Watch your pets Dear Editor: This letter is to alert owners of pets to watch for a school boy who carries a hammer and tries to get your pets to come to him. This a blatant effort to entice an animal expecting a treat or petting to be injured or killed instead! This happened in Kanab. This boy, about 54", with dark blonde hair, wearing a gray and baggy short pants is sometimes with a much smaller dark haired boy (who is innocent of any wrong-doinand sometimes with other boys. This morning at 10:30 a.m., I was in the garden picking flowers. The boys did not see me as they walked past the Travel Council and down 59 East towards the Heritage House, but on the opposite side of the street. They stopped in front of my house and the blonde boy leaned forward and tried to coax the dog across the street to come to him while holding the hammer. The dog in question is a dog that was shy, simply lyingin front ofhis house bothering no one. In fact, when I went across the street to tell its T-sh- g) irt to the owners of the dog. I feel that little is done to prevent cruelty to animals. The animal abuser (or killer) is rarely punished. AND there is far too much of that in southern Utah! When the grandson of a friends neighbor in the Ranchos shot her dog with a BB gun in the dogs fenced yard, nothing was done and she was left with a substantial vet bill. When the son of a Fredonia couple killed a cat, after first torturing it, (this was not the first cat he had killed and tortured) all the parents did was ship him off someplace else where he could continue his torturing and killing! Owners of pets who have been injured, killed or tortured should get together and file a lawsuit against the parents!

Is there little doubt as to why there is so much cruelty in the world? I feel the same way about people who have large snakes that they feed other live animals. Is this their idea of family togetherness watching a snake swallow a helpless animal? A pet store posted the feeding time for the snake they had in a cage for people who wanted to watch!
