Farmers urged to beware of bogus farm fund solicitations The state’s largest organization of farmers and ranchers is urging Utahns to beware of a solicitation for funds to save the family farm purportedly According to C Booth Wallentine executive vice president for the Utah some rural Farm Bureau Federation Utahns have received donation solicitations from the Utah Farm Fund which according to the solicitation letter seeks to amass a treasury to be used to save the family farm from extinction Wallentine says Utahns should be very wary of this request for donations "Farm Bureau has not been able to obtain any information regarding who is behind the Utah Farm Fund or if it at all" is a legitimate organization Wallentine said “All we know is some people have received letters asking them to donate their dollars to an organization that according to the research we have done most likely does not exist legally” “Furthermore the Utah Farm Fund is in no way associated w ith or endorsed in any way by the Utah Farm Bureau Federation or its affiliated he continued organizations” “Therefore we urge all Utahns to be very careful in any dealings with the Utah Farm Fund as they could simply be throwing their money away" Wallentine said He said people approached by the Utah Farm Fund for donations and who suspect illicit dealings should contact the Consumer Protection

this” the Doctor of Rigstad earned Ministry degree in May 1987 from the San Francisco Theological Seminary His dissertation “Ecumenism at the Middle Judicatory Level” traces the historical development of the national Consultation on Church Union for the past 25 years and of Shared Ministry in Utah offering Shared Ministry’s perience “as a model for others to look at in pursuit of church union

Jacksonville Ore Presbyterian Salt Lake City (associate pastor) and Van Nuys Calif (pastor) He has been on numerous Utah boards Don’t push snow on highways owners state along Property highways in Utah are unknowingly breaking the law when they plow snow from their driveways and parking lots and push it onto state roads People often clear their driveways and parking lots by pushing snow out onto highways or even onto the islands in the road in the belief that road crews from the Utah Department of Transportation will remove it However snowplows simply push snow off the highways and many times the snow ends back in the driveway after the trucks go by Property owners particularly those with parking lots should find a place on their own property to push and store snow The state’s snow removal policy states “The removal of the normal snowfall and windrows of plowed snow road approaches and on private both on and off the driveways is the respon highway is part of Utah's Shared Ministry including those of the Crossroads Urban Center The Board of Utah Children and the Family Counseling Service of Northern Utah Rev Richard D Reese chairperson of Shared Ministry in Utah and pastor of the First Baptist Church Ogden states that “Dr Rigstad had led our churches toward unity in service mission and growth His vision of ecumenical work provides a model for ongoing ministry in Utah as God’s spirit directs” Rev James H Lappen moderator (top office) of the Utah Presbytery and minister of the Community of Grace Presbyterian Church Sandy notes that Rigstad “was certainly a key factor in our close relationship developing of Shared among the denominations Ministry As pastor of a new church I could not have development got the church off the ground without his support Our people realize it was because of his vision and continuing support that we were able to develop this conand our new building” gregation (Begun in 1982 the Community of Grace church moved into its building in February 1987 with 225 members) According to Marjorie Thompson lay leader (top office) of the Subdistrict of the United ConMethodist Rocky Mountain ference and a member of Community sibility of the property owner When clearing these approaches the property owner shall not push or pile snow onto the State Aside from adding to UDOT’s burden of snow removal pushing snow onto state highways can create a dangerous road condition The extra snow makes the highway that much more slick and unsafe for travel Snow placed on island areas eventually melts and the water can run across the roads Church Methodist Ogden “Dr Rigstad has been a real supporter He has always willing and helpful represented Utah United Methodists ably on Conference committees and would often fill pulpits of local chura sought after ches when needed preacher As a preacher he has related the scripture to everyday living of peoin is wonderful at world He the ple dealing with issues of the day social concerns and mission needs” Steve Verno youth coordinator United Subdistrict Methodist Church and former chair Shared Ministry Local Church Concerns Committee a member of Christ United Methodist Church in Salt Lake City refers to Rigstad’s organizational ability “He is a very organized dividual who helped to evolve Shared Ministry to what it is today growing from three to five denominations” r moderaior Sylvia (top office) Utah Region Disciples of Christ and a member of Ceritial Christian Church Salt Lake City notes that “Although the Disciples have not been served in an administrative capacity by Dr Rigstad as administrative leader of Shared Ministry he has always been warm eager available and willing to work with us and has had appropriale and good advice and direction He has been an efficient and effective leader of Shared Ministry and we as Disciples have gained from Shared Ministry as a whole” Dr Thomas Blakely moderator (lop office) of the Utah Association of the United Church of Christ a member of the Shared Ministry executive council the past four years and a member of the Orem Community Church UCC declares that “Bob Rigstad deserves the very highest praise for his unique conin Christian ecumenical tributions fellowship worship and organization With his leadership Shared Ministry in Utah has become one of the most successful” Although Dr Rigstad begins his new duties in Seattle in early January his wife Anita who works for the Utah State Health Dept will remain in her post in Salt Lake City through the spring of 1988 The Rigstads have two sons Peter and Mark who live in Salt Lake City creating icy spots For homeowners clearing small amounts of snow from their driveways one bit of advice to help make a tough situation less difficult is to push the snow from your driveway approach toward the downside of traffic That will prevent snowplows from piling your snow- back into your driveway Heavy snowfalls of recent winters have demonstrated the difficult travelwe
