We are also doing are major spring cleanup from trees to lawns, from inside to outside. We are also getting ready for fishing trips. It used to be the signs of spring were flowers, singing birds and young lovers. But like everything else in our society the signs of spring today have a more manufactured approach. Weather is still a factor, but the new signs of spring are more a social phenomenon connected with the weather than the warm temperatures themselves. For those curious about the new signs of spring, here are the chronological steps leading up to spring officially being designated as here: The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue: The surest sign that spring is just around the corner is this particular issue of this popular magazine. It usually comes out in February when most of the nation is still wearing its cold belt. The bathing beauties that are featured in this magazine make every male long for the warmer temperatures, and also makes every female begin to prepare for the swimming season. Aerobics Class Sizes: Soon after the swimsuit issue appears, attendance at aerobics and jazzer-cis- e classes increases. Many women (and men) prepare for springtime by attempting to better fit into the new line of swimwear. Baseball: This year we had an abbreviated spring training as a lockout took up most of the time set aside for this element of spring. Baseballs spring training is as much a part of springtime as baby birds. Why do you think there are Orioles, Blue Jays and Cardinals? Viewpoint Andy Howell Davis County editor Car Sales: For some reason: many people like to buy new cars1 in the spring, so naturally car; dealers meet the demand by put- ting cars on sale, or so it would appear. Sports cars tend to be featured more to alleviate the spring fever that affects car buy-- ; '; ers. Street Crews: After people buy their new cars, they begin to notice that winter has left the' roads in poor condition. Like mothers, new-caowners complain to government entities about the chuckhole in front of their house. Like blooming wildflowers, street crews blossom all over cities and towns repairing streets. What appeared impossible de- -. our. cades ago has happened society has taken spring away from Mother Nature and molded it to our timetable. Bowing to the pressure, old Ma Nature has responded by warming the weather to our demands. Last week we had seven inches of snow in the mountains, and this week temperatures will be pushing 80 der; over-protecti- ve grees. Just think what would happen if Sports Illustrated released its swimsuit issue in November winter would be eliminated all together. Government directory Letters some form of recourse before they are subjugated by this imperialistic final federal solution to western public land management. Kenley Brunsdale, Democratic candidate running against Congressman Hansen, was quoted in the Tribune on March 19 as saying that Hansens bill was pure grandstanding. Brunsdale reportedly said this was another case of (Hansens) telling a small special interest group what they want to hear. Is that so? What interest group might Hansen be speakinj to? It is proven fact that congressional wilderness reduces the value of school trust lands. Hansen is speaking to parents and Thanks for helping accident victims Dear friends: As parents of Jennifer and Jeffrey Rasmussen we wish to express our gratitude to all those friends who cared for our dren on Friday, April 6 on We have heared countless reports of those whose immediate response and assistance literally saved our daughters life and offered support to our dying son Jeff. We will never be able to repay this extreme kindness but can only express our grateful appreciation to you. May our Father in Heaven be with you and grant you the blessings you deserve. Jim and Susan Sutterfield Stan and Rona Rasmussen teachers. Wilderness closes roads. Hansen is speaking to those who use public lands in a vehicle or on a bicycle. Wilderness stops explora- tion and development of our mineral and energy resources. Wilderness areas Hansen is talking to anyone who uses metals, fuels or electricity in hurt state of Utah Congressman Jim Hansen has submitted HR4285 which would empower states having federal ownership greater than 25 percent of the land base with the authority to disapprove of the designation of an area as wilderness. Hansens bill is firmly based in the recognition that the federal government exercises near absolute dominion over federally owned lands and that states with greater than 25 percent federal ownership already labor disproportionately to states with lesser federal ownership in conforming to dictates handed down from Washington. Congressionally designated wilderness is the ultimate manifestation of federal dominion wherein the federal authonty in fact reigns supreme over all other interests in perpetuity. Congressman Hansen is saying that already burdened western public land states should have ' their lives. Wilderness locks up our resources which, if produced, would generate jobs, tax revenues, royalty payments and more. Hansen is talking to the low income, the unemployed and the taxpayer wherever he may be in Utah. Wilderness prevents development of precious water resources. Hansen is talking to those who use water in their daily lives and those who would like for their children to be able to use water. Wilderness prevents effective wildlife management including habitat management. Hansen is talking to the sportsman and the wildlife user alike. There are just some of the small special interest groups that Congressman Hansen is talking to. William D. Howell Helper Say no thanks to U.S. 89 proposals Discussions are currently being held by representatives of the federal government, UDOT officials, and governments of cities along the Highway 89 corridor to discuss the availability of federal funds to improve the highway. Most probably those funds would be keyed to the building of a freeway in place of the existing highway. While the possibility of federal funds is enticing, the trade-of- f would be devastating to the quality of life of those who live along the corridor. y swath reThe quired for additional lanes, frontthat age roads, and clover-leaf- s freeway systems incorporate would heavily impact existing homes, orchards, and businesses, evict residents and plunge property values. Pollution and noise would endanger the quality of life for thousands of citizens. ' The proposed expressway design is much the preferred solution to a dangerous situation. Such a limited access design could be expected to maintain a level of service rating of A through the year 2010.

When the highway was built it cut through cities and separated citizens from essential services. If it were to be as a freeway it would effectively amputate portions of these cities, cutting off the quality of life until neighborhoods died. We encourage concerned citizens to contact the offices of their mayors, state, and federal representatives extending a Thanks but no thanks to unnecessary radical surgery. Mr. and Mrs. J.

In the early 1900s, the U.S. Government brutally attempted the rewrite the laws of nature, by ordering the gray wolf extinct within the park, by using gasoline, traps, rifles and poison. By the time the rampage was ended in 1929, not one wolf could be found anywhere inside the park 2.2 million acres. This was a very by 2010.
