Dick Brown of Centerville is a Libertarian in Republican clothing, and a candidate for oth political parties in seeking House Seat 18. But he says not for long. The political newcomer ; said he intends to withdraw his candidacy ! e as a Libertarian for the job today and the Republican nomination. Today at 5 p.m. is the deadline for candidates to file for county and legislative seats at the j clerks office in the County Courthouse.

Cyndi Chamberlain, Davis County election specialist, said Brown came to the clerks office in the County Courthouse this week filing as both a Republican and a Libertarian candidate in challenging incumbent Rep. Susan J. Koehn, Cross. She said state election laws allow candidates to file under different political parties as long as the candidates name only appears on the ballot one time and separate filing fees are paid, which Brown did in paying $ 1 3 for each candidacy. But since filing Brown has had a change of heart, and rather than make a political statement with his move for Republicans to come back to the more conservative platform, he will run as a Republican. He said once in office he will hold to his Libertarian ideals of drastically My watch cry is there ought not to be a law, said the retired telephone company engineer. Brown said l.ke many conservative Republicans he is dissatisfied with the way the Republican Party is leaning, a party passing as many laws as the Democrats. Anne Christensen, former longtime Davis County Republican Party chairwoman, said she is not surprised by Browns plan, other than candidates are generally not that public about it. A lot of people do it, because they cant win any other way than being a Republican, Christensen said of the GOPs dominance in Davis County. No Democrat or Libertarian holds an elected partisan office in the county. Christensen said in Utah candidates cross over because it is one of the few states that does not require party registra- - She said this is something that makes political parties vulnerable to candidates who have their own agenda. Brown said initially he hoped Republicans would turn the government around and bring it back to a sane government, but rather than wait he said he will run now and try to make a difference. Neither of the parties are helping Americans, he said. Brown said he was initially going to file as a Libertarian, but he believes many of the conservative Republicans are Libertarians with their philosophies. He said that, combined with his good reputation and 46 years of living in Centerville, makes him confident he can win. And if he does? Brown said rather than pass laws, hell repeal the existing bad laws already on the books. DW, me.

The award is meant to recognize and encourage special efforts made by park and recreation agencies or organizations providing outstanding recreation benefits to a community. The parks nominated are judged on several criteria including exceptional innovation and architectural features, significant expansion or modification of existing facilities, significant cost savings, new or unique services to special populations and response to a critical need in the community. Mayor Brian Cook has been invited to Springdale to accept the award. . There were seven facilities nominated, all bigger than the Kaysville facility, according to city Parks Director Vance Garfield. We made application on a fluke at the beginning, he added. The city park beat such places as Hardware Ranch, the pool in Brigham City, a seven diamond park and new recreation center in St. George.

This year the school has been piloting two programs for the elementary grades emcommitment to drug edphasizing long-terucation and awareness - the Lions-QucSkills for Adolescence and Skills for Grow- CLEARFI unbearable ing. The programs focus on things such as sponsibility, good judgment, self discipline and getting along with others. Stretch said that in her class the students hae been getting to know themselves re- through these characteristics not only their emotions and attitudes but also their bodies. Her idea is that if they get to know and respect themselves and others, then they wont want to use harmful drugs. Feeling that service learning brings the outside world into the classroom, making caring and concern for others a priority. Stretch and her second graders spent time in planning a meaningful service project. With a theme of teddy bears, they decided to collect bears to donate to the Gear-fiel- d Police Department, St. Anne's Homeless Shelter in Ogden, and other shelters in Davis County. As the project got started, each group of two made posters, advertising the project. Then each group went to two different classrooms to tell about the project and ask for help. Asking each class to bring as many bears as they could of their own or from someone else, they ended up collecting 106 bears, some new and some used. Student Juanita Delgato said she brought in a big bag of bears, probably about 0 After collecting the bears, they had a teddy bear picnic in their room, watching the video, Teddy Bear Picnic and reading bear stories. Juanitas project partner Patrick said that he didn't really like to read with a bear because it made it harder for him to concentrate on his book, winch was, of course a bear story. 1 Sy-mans- See BEADS7 From Russia with a love of learning By LORETTA PARK Slj) .djrd Examint, correspond Coming to Utah w11 I II TX. 77G-495- Accelerated readers . . .
