Have you visited a state park recently? If so the Slate of Utah Department of Natural Resources would like to hear from you The Department is inventorying its facilities writing rules and talking with citizens to make certain its facilities and procedures are accessible and fair to the disabled The Department is aggressively taking stock of all facilities espe- - daily those at state parks to make sure that they are accessible to the disabled “It is very important to us that we not exclude the disabled from any of our activities or facilities” said Milo Barney the Departments ADA coordinator For copies of proposed rules or to give your opinion contact the Utah Dept of Natural Resources or the Dept of Administrative Rules l and represented the people in his district very well” Senator Cary G Peterson Lru COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WHO SUPPORT BRAD'S ELECTION r T Merlin Ashman Mark Justice Clyde Thompson v r safety “The fire has caused dangerous fissures and cracks that are close to a foot wide and up to 15 feet deep Someone could easily fall into one of these cracks and be burned” said Lucia Malin project manager with the Division of Oil Gas and Mining Abandoned Mine Reclamation Pro“Smoke and toxic fumes gram coming from the fire could be dan gerous to hiker and hunters using the area” The project contractor has constructed a chimney to confine the fire and vent gasses Workers are now filling cracks and fissures with fine grain roadbase material Slopes will then be regraded stabilized and revegetated The project should be completed by Thanksgiving however steep slopes are adding to the difficulty of fire controlling this underground Malin noted In 1990 the division tried to extinguish the fire by pumping a foam ing mud cement product into the open fissures to suffocate the fire However indications are that the fire is still burning The Abandoned Mine Program works to protect hunters hikers off highway vehicle riders and others who participate in backcountry recreation from the dangers of abandoned mines Those dangers include mine openings with unstable sides and rotten timbers poisonous and undergasses old explosives ground fire Reclamation of abandoned mines in Utah is funded from a tax paid by coal producers in Utah Every child should be immunized Crankshaw State Health Department for Utah Children The national and Utah goal is that by the year 2000 at least 90 percent of our youngsters should be adequately immunized against the Richard diseases This would be a modest goal given the of time we have to accomThe reality however is that of Utah’s olds only 365 are adequately immunized How can this be true in Utah? Our public immunization clinics are fairly accessible throughout the state appointments are normally not required and although public clinics typically charge $3 to administer each dose of vaccine no one is denied immunizations because of inability to pay Although efforts will be made to further improve the accessibility of immunizations perhaps the primary reason why too few children are getting adequately immunized in Utah is because their parents lack sufficient knowledge there regarding how importance immunizations are and the devas tating ettects diseases ot parents are unaware that diseases are still today right here in Utah Despite a general decline in these diseases a considerable problem with measles and pertussis (whooping Less than 9 cough) has cases of pertussis were reported in Utah from 1976 to 1984 a sharp contrast from the 155 cases reported in 1964 But from 1985 to 1991 an average of 19 cases have been reported each year The unwelcome revival of measles has been even more dramatic Since 1976 with 235 cases of measles were reported a pronounced drop occurred between 1977 and 1988 when an average of less than 17 cases was reported annually In 1981 and 1985 there were NO cases of measles reported in Utah But in 1989 there were 114 cases 147 cases in 1990 and 224 in 1991 In 1991 Utah was 9th among states in the number of measles cases Many a threat - reported Both these diseases are very seri for children under ous especially two years of age Complications from pertussis include pneumonia convulsions brain problems and even death Measles is one of the most contagious diseases known and can cause ear infections pneumonia convulsions hearing loss mental retardation and death Yet these diseases are easily prevented by immunization It is extremely important that infants and children are immunized on time and completely There is no excuse for children in this state to go without immunizations i - II Aurora Larry Cosby Centerfield Dell Draper Emery Gary Petty Glenwood Mark Lewis Mayfield Ace Robertson Orangeville Tom Humphrey Richfield Jay C Anderson Sigurd Willis D Allred Annabella Noel Torgersen Castle Dale Gary Cox Clawson Gary Price Ferron Dale Roper Gunnison Bruce Blackham Monroe Ralph Okerland Redmond Eugene Honeycutt Salina Nyals T Andreason Sterling Curtis Ludvigson That's 17 out of 17 A SAMPLE OF BRAD'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN HIS 1ST TERM PUBLIC FUNDED PROJECTS Worked to Increase our share of Mineral Lease Money to give this area representation on "Brad sponsored legislation ) the lowest ratio of return to the highest number of projects" Mayor Mark Lewis Chrmn Sevier Co Council of Gov'ts the C1B Board We went from EDUCATION Worked for Improved education opportunities "Without Brad Johnson and his Influence with the governor and the legislature the Sevier Valley ATC building would not have received funding The building will give a major boost to the region's economy" Dr Richard Maxfield TRANSPORTATION Worked to maintain economic base of area "Brad was Instrumental in changing the proposed regional and district headquarters for UDOT" Mayor Jay Anderson loss of District 3 headquarters into an expanded AGRICULTURE Worked to improve the business opportunities for agriculture "Brad Johnson took the lead role in increasing funding from $200000 per year to $1700000 in two years for the ARDL loan progam as well as funding the Rural Rehabilitation Loan Fund at $1 000000 to help his district's economy" Brent Cowley Chrmn Sevier Soil Conservation Comm WILDLIFE Worked to preserve and protect hunting and wildlife activities "Brad was very supportive of our efforts to improve the opportunities for sportsmen and worked hard to protect our rights" Paul Nlemeyer Pres Sevier Wildlife Federation Representative Brad Johnson helped us to preserve the right to control predators and protect traditional hunting rights" Jeff Brewer Pres Central Utah Houndsmen Assn Vote Brad Corn cooks up nice and tender if you use unsalted water to each gallon of which you've added a tablespoon each of sugar and lemon juice I Keller Christensen Leonard Blackham Gerald Nice Gene Mendenhall Dixie Thompson r That's Eight Out Of Nine!
