Stangcr says the peacocks make good neighbors and they make great watchdogs,' if thefes somebody out here they startsquawking and making a fuss.

The Associated Press A Republican BOUNTIFUL lawmaker will sponsor a bill to eliminate the firing squad option in Utahs death penalty law in hopes of deflecting bad publicity generated by an upcoming execution at the Utah State Prison. I dont consider the firing squad appropriate or humane because of the personal physical pain that it causes." said Rep. Sheryl Allen, , The change would not be retroactive and would not apply to death-ro- w inmate John Albert Taylor, who has requested execution by firing squad this month. But Allen, a public relations specialist. said the bill would at least let the public know that this is not the kind of image we want to have in Utah as we enter our second 100 years." The state is celebrating its centennial in 1996. And the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union said it is Organizii g a publicity campaign aimed at shaming stale leaders into stopping the exe- cution. Allen said she hopes to have the bill drafted sometime next week and have the Legislature address it isoon after it convenes Jan. 15. Taylor's execution is scheduled 1 1 days later. The first-terrepresentative hasn't talked with leadership about her proposal. Bui she apparently has the support of Gov.

When the peacocks were exhausted. Richard and Alan caught them and brought them to the Steed farm. The peacocks lost all of their tail feathers from the stress, but adjusted quickly to their new surroundings and the female later laid eggs. Now. Richard said the family. probably has the largest number of uncaged peacocks in the county. The birds dont bother anyone except for the occational motorist who has to stop to let the birds cross the road. Richard said his father would be amazed at how well the peacocks have fared. ."He thought two were neat imagine his enthusiasm at having 50." Richard said. Though a few have been hit by cars and one was even electrocuted on a power line, but fatalities are rare and this had allowed them to multiply rapidly. The pcaeock usually a very shy creature can fly if it has reason to. Reasons on the Steed farm include dogs, cars anc people. When humans approach they squawk loudly and hide or fly into trees. The male peacocks arc identified by brilliantly colored feathers called a train. The feathers grow from the birds back, not its tail, and they can grow to five limes the length of the bird's body. The male spreads ' his feathers into a fan and parades around Ihc farm in hopes of impressing the females.

Richard has had an opportunity to be part of a humanitarian effort to bring medical equipment to a primitive hospital in India. Katherine accompanied him on the first trip he jnadcand the bospijaj asked him to please bring them a gastroscope and suture kits. He and his son, Greg, returned with these items and many more. The supplies had to be carried as baggage and few personal items could be taken. They stayed in huts and slept on the ground. Despite what they lack, they afe happy people, says Richard. I realized I could be happy with a lot j less." The Wallins recount a story I. theyve heard about a man from-- ' India who asked an American woman three questions. The first question was, Is it true in America you allow people who arent family members to babysit and take care of your children?" The woman replied that it was true and that shed allowed her own children to be in day care. The second question was, "Is it . u really true you dont know; everyone who lives on your street or in your neighborhood? The woman responded that it was true, she didn't know many of her neighbors. The third question was, In America do you take your old people your mother and your father when they get old and put j them in a home to die. That surely cannot be true?" The woman said that yes. that was also true, her ; own father was in a rcst.homcfTJie man told Ihc woman, In India :we arc praying for you." Maybe in America we arc praying for them because of their poverty, but even in their poverty they cherish the bond with their children, their neighbors, and their elders. They think we are the j nation suffering," he said. , The Wallins are looking forward to summer to plan another backpacking outing. Last summer: they backpacked into the Wind River Mountains.
