Ha the weather was pretty pleasant The cool temperature was a welcome break from the normal hot and humid pattern Until late November this is as close to fall as we'll get When weather like this comes around I seem to gel a little reminiscent of days as a USU student As my mind wanders a little all my Cache Valley recollections seem to be of late September when the leaves turn into a sea of red yellow and orange I remember the intense sunsets and cool crisp night air — how I could look up at the mountains and clear blue sky and breath deep All 1 wanted then was to graduate and move on make a lot of money and find what I thought to be a happening place to live Time has a funny way of erasing the bad memories and keeping only the good in our minds but I miss Logan I miss it a lot I hope to visit and sec old friends and familiar places in Logan while on my Christmas trip to my home in Bountiful The trip may well set the benchmark for the type of place I want to far away from raise my little family big cities palm trees and beaches Closer to quiet and peace I hope those of you who still live in the Cache Valley area appreciate w here you live I know it isn’t perfect nothbut it is a

at the celebration of the Constitution on Sept 1 7 There may not be a more qualified person to expound on this great document its content and intent Skousen presented a nonpartisan and truthful lesson on the Constitution Mr Skousen pointed out many laws enacted throughout America's history that violate the Constitution The most recent example is the new “national monument” in Southern Utah established in dictatorial fashion men- tioned it was he who unethically and unconstitutionally designated this monument without consulting any Utahns and w ithout setting foot in the slate T he establishment of a national monument is nut the worst part of this deal Utah's elected officials might have dune the same if given a chance It is the principle established by this action that is regrettable It means that Clinton can do whatever he wants when he wants to and he's not losing any votes by shafting the Utahns Robert Rcdford (I'm nut a lawmaker but I play one on TV) apparently has more pull in this stale than our elected olficials 'litis was just another chance for Clinton to scribble his name in the history books right over those of the Founding Fathers Skousen was right we need to be n aware uf our rights set forth in the Constitution in order to protect them Guarding our rights is a big responsibility but it's a small price to pay lor freedom Thank the Lord that we still have the right to vole and the opportunity to vote for someone who believes in putting the power back into the hands of the people Bob Dule is welcome in Utah God-give- Dav id Harris Llicn L

17 million acres of Utah as a National Monument I’ve looked long and hard to find something anything mildly amusing about his arrogant abuse of power 1 finally found it in a speech Robert Red-for- d gave to a Western Writer’s Confer- ence the weekend after Clinton’s announcement: “To Utah Republicans we should say stop the partisanship sit down at the table and work toward real solutions that arc in the best interest of the American people who own this land’” Alter Clinton's blatant ploy Redford is accusing the Republicans of partisanship? Now that’s funny Redford managed to give me another chuckle in an editorial he wrote for the Los Angeles Times He wrote that “tourism is Utah’s most important industry” adding that “tourism contributes more to the state’s through a series of accidents he soon became nationally known as “His Accidency the President economy than agriculture and mining combined” of the United States” This is good news?

Nope the Eddie Bauer types won’t self-intere- self-intere- stand for it How about a 1 7 million-acr- e wilderness area in Utah? Hey yeah! Good idea We don’t have a chance to win in Utah anyway (I can only hope that the Herald Journal’s editorial staff was joking when they wrote that “Utah has a chance now to use its political muscle to influence the development of the newest national monument” What political muscle?) The press called Ronald Reagan “The Teflon President” but Reagan was an unseasoned cast-iro- n Dutch oven comfiles Vincent FosFBI Clinton to pared ter Travelgate Paula Jones draft dodging Gennifer Flowers Whitewater Dick Morris nothing sticks to the man! When the skillet of public scrutiny gets too hot he assumes the mantle of by sending military troops overseas or becomes “the Environmental President” by creating a new National Monument Clinton somehow always manages to divert the nation’s attention away from his political embarrassments But I’d hate to think they staged it I’d hate to think that William Jefferson Clinton signed his proclamation at that breathtaking Grand Canyon site just because it might be more emotionally charged than the presidential podium Surely the president of the United States wouldn’t put his strategy above his integrity would he? He wouldn’t play political games with 17 million of Utah’s acres would he? He wouldn’t ignore lie to and circumvent Utah’s elected legislators just to have the opportunity for a great photo op would he? Would he?
