Show Lakeside Lakeside Review, Tuesday, May 8, 1990 Opinion No question: County needs high school y yy.yy. fJ T fer Ik I f ' Mike oi , PC A& ' V Rhonda Hansen Stephens How will you honor your mom? There says, song that There oughta be a hall of fame is a country-wester- n for manias. Creations most unique and precious pearl. Heaven help us always to remember, that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. That song captures the essence of the value of a caring mother, and with Mothers Day this Sunday, May 13, sons and daughters are trying to figure out what special gift or act to bestow upon their mother. The Lakeside Review asked some area residents just how they plan to honor their mother this Sunday. I usually Pam Vellinga, Clinton take her out to lunch. We usually have her over for dinner and buy her a present just for her, not for the house, but a personal item. We send her flowers. Sometimes I write her a letter telling her how I feel about her. 3 needs they provide something more important than our physical Letting her know how much we appreciate the love that she gave and returning it tenfold, that is the greatest Street talk well-bein- We just try to make it her day. Susan Musgrave, Clinton - 1 will take her out to breakfast and give her a bunch of flowers. I make it her day. The whole family gets involved. We dont let her cook or clean or anything. It is her day to be lazy. Richard Walker, Syracuse - I will maybe spend a little more time with her. I will probably have her over for dinner, give her an extra phone call or two and give her a small gift. Just take the time to remember, and let her know that she is still important. I think Mike Stephens, Clinton are mothers our that although responsible for assuring all of our physical g. gift. I take her out to dinner and the grandkids make gifts and all get together to honor her. Rhonda Hansen, Syracuse - This year probably just spend extra time with her. I will probably give her that extra attention and have her over for dinner. Last year I did a recording of some songs she had written about 50 years ago. She didnt know that I was going to do them, but I had them arranged and went into a studio and recorded them. That was a really special time for her. The Antelope High Buffalos. Kind of has a nice ring to it. Regardless of what a new high school in north Davis County is called or where it is located, the fact remains there is a need for one. Today voters went to the polls to decide on whether the Davis School District should be able to sell $40 million in bonds to build a new high school and fund several other construction projects in the district. About $27 million is earmarked for the construction of the new school in or around the area which would open in 1992, and $1 million would go to purchase property for a second high school. The remainder of the money would be used to upgrade air conditioning, purchase portable classrooms and remodel other elementary schools throughout the district. The cost would be approximately $32 a year for someone who owns a $75,000 home. Thats only a few bucks a month. Pretty cheap when you look at the bene- Viewpoint Andy Howell Davis County editor at. Because of the rapidly expanding enrollment, the district had to resort to a measure that sends shivers up and down the spines of parents, students and, teachers alike the dreaded split session. The high school was basically split into two high schools which were called Rincon High White and Rincon High Purple. The White High met from 6 a.m. to noon, while Purple High went. from noon to 6 p.m. And as fate would have it, my brother and father were as- -, signed separate schools. During the winter, my brother had to leave for school before the sun came up, and my father didnt get home until long, after it was dark. It was not a good year for the Howell family and I would hate to see any other family in Davis County have to go. through the same thing. But this could be an alternative if the bond issue Layton-Clear-fie- ld fits. The growth in Davis County over the last 10 years has been phenomenal. The area has become the suburbs for commuters working in Ogden and Salt Lake City, myself included. Like most I have chosen to live in Davis County because of the neighborhood atmosphere of the communities and the quality schools for my children. I dont want to see happen to my family now what happened to my family when I was a kid. My father was a high school teacher in a rapid growth district out West during the 1960s, and facilities couldnt keep up. My oldest brother was also a student at the same high school my father taught . . , doesnt pass. The success of school bond issues are hard to predict. Usually opponents of. such bonds always make it to the polls, but proponents, who tend to be working parents, sometimes dont find time to get out and vote. Polls will be open to 8 p.m. You can' still make Antelope High a realty, otherwise your son or daughter may be attending Clearfield Green High or Layton , -, Blue High. Letters subdue the earth.

A district official with group support can make statements like I dont care how many there are who want to cle, ed rorists recy- theres no market for that junk. The best way to recycle is get to the burn plant and sell steam. Or the Morgan district officials: I thought the idea was to keep the plant operating. An approximately so far yearly cost for these statements: Plant expenditures for steam $11 million, or without plant a $11 million landfill savings. Burn savings cost to citizens become $22 million when citizens again pay other city liabilities. The cost of burning money for steam is irresponsible when you consider the original plant promotional miracles like profits from steam at this date and time would result in zero or near zero of-Uta- .

Davis County has a district official running for commissioner. He promoted with and supported the money-burnwithout did this He declining gas prices. support from Layton, Clearfield, Bountiful and West Point, voted NARD landfill control to Morgan and South Davis cities, also percentage of NARD ownership. This action best describes gullibility or loyalty to political buddies versus accountability to citizens. (We never er win). Citizens, delegates, lets rid ourselves of gullible district officials who vote for a duplicating service that pollutes, burn millions, then tell you saving money with landfill and recycling is nothing but junk. Lets reverse the process; politicians, you take our mandated $11 million steam deficits. Return NARD landfill to its rightful owners. Citizens will gladly except the junk and landfill money savings. We know there is always a market for money and junk. Kenneth S. Reed Clearfield 15-z- ip Yellowstone?

I feel the country is headed in the wrong direction when man begins to worship nature at the expense of all mankind. The Bible itself contains a commandment from God to man to go forth and subdue the earth. The commandment is not for man to go forth and destroy the earth, but for man to go forth and have dominion over the earth and the animals. I feel that the Lord hasnt recalled this commandment, that man is still commanded to go forth and land irresponsible -- garbage fee." Government directory into management practices. Environmental groups like the Sierra Club are currently pushing for wilderness expansion in the Intermountain West that will cripple the area economically. The push for wilder-ness expansion is without sufficient if any economic impact analysis, environ- mental analysis, etc. Some research done by public utilities and other responsible parties indicates ' direct adverse economic impact per year of billions of dollars for the state alone. I am forced to ask why environmental groups desire to place land under wilderness status without regard for man when doing so will adversely, impact endangered species of plants and; animals. By designating land as wilderness,' plants and animals will not be assisted: in their efforts to survive in an increasingly hostile environment. Should plants and animals be expected to endure the. continuous record extremes of heat, cold, drought, etc. without mans help? , Why should man sit idly by while Yel-- ; lowstone burns beyond reason and pol- lutes our environment. Why should the trees of Idaho be decimated by disease, . pests and parasites while man sits idly ; by? Why should endangered animals be allowed to die within the sight of a earring man? I dont think these events should be . permitted, which is why I am opposed to further wilderness expansion. I encourage people to search the facts before they let their emotions dictate the future policies of land management in these United States. I think when citizens know the facts they will begin to ask questions like How can Wayne Ow-- ! ens support designating 5.1 million acres of wilderness expansion and prevent ; even mountain biking in these areas?!'
