NIELSEN My time, effort and interest would be devoted, Kay J. Nielsen, a retired y technician and Democratic candidate, stated. I have no personal axes to grind and dont make promises that cant be kept. I would expect to enter the 1980s with realism and conservatism - an honest and progressive city government should be maintained with no social inequities, he concluded. Nielsen was an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for mayor two years ago. LYNN REYNOLDS A native of Mt.

Salina is a great place to live, Id like to Reynolds commented, it if I it and that improve way keep can. I would work to upgrade all areas as best we can, depending on the funand do he said, ding available, what I can to improve the community. - full-tim- JERRY PAYNE Democratic candidate Jerry Payne, a native of Koosharem, has lived in Salina since the coming here from Fallon, Nev., where he worked for the state for three years. He is employed by the State of Utah of and the U.S. Department Agriculture as a government hunter. Payne served for six years as president of the Salina Riding Club and for two years as a member of the Sevier County Fire Board. He said he is interested in the city, and there are some things he would like to see changed and done differently. I believe the city councilmen should look at the city as a whole, at the interests of both young and old, before making decisions, he said. Local citizens should be kept better informed, so they would understand better whats going on, he commented. One of the matters Payne believes should be investigated is the new city park. Both the location, and whether or not the park really is needed should be checked out, he believes, adding that such a park . . . would be nice. I expect to learn a lot if Im elected, the candidate noted. This is my first experience at mid-1930- s, NEW AMBULANCE-Ly- nn - Kay Nielsen " REDGE HANSEN like to be a councilman that people can come and talk to with their problems, said Republican candidate Redge Hansen, a pharmacist ' at Salina Drug. Better communications between the Ted Shepperd politics," Payne said. He mentioned that he had a reputation for being honest and open-minde- d. TED SHEPHERD Another Salina native, Ted Shepherd, is a Republican candidate for city council. He attended Wasatch Academy, Westminster College, and the University of Utah, where he studied zoology and botany in a pre-me- d curriculum. He worked as assistant engineer at Westminster for seven years, and for First Security Trust renovating homes in Salt Lake City. He returned to his hometown in 1934, where he worked for the Salina Auction for 20 years, weighing and clerking. He is Salina Creek Watermaster, a position he has held 20 years, and treasurer of the Browns Hole Grazing Assn. I got all the jobs nobody wants, Shepherd commented. He also runs a cattle operation, although he now v leases his farmland. If elected, Shepherd said he would .. .do what I can. I havent really studied on the city council business, he said. I expect Id learn as I go. He said he felt the city seems to be doing alright in dealing with the growth of the community. Competitive bidding, on all projects, is something Shepherd would like to see instituted. The city needs to finish the underground pressurized irrigation system, authorized by city voters in a bond election, although . . . there should be a cheaper way to do it, he remarked. The cost of the new system is especially hard on older people, and persons on welfare, according to Shepherd. . RICHARD A. WHITE North Sevier High School Counselor Richard A.

"Too few people are involved in malting decisions that affect the future of Salma." Andreason staled. |
