Okay okay I know it was a little juvenile not to mention gramdownright untrue but that was a long time developments in some neighborhoods in our area — along with many other areas in Logan — seem to be haphazard with housing dominating certain areas and poorly planned ll developments found in others Several areas of southwest Logan have homes built along both the Logan and Blacksmith Fork rivers — but there are numerous high-densi- which adoa Department appreciates the efforts of these volunteers including William Lye Ted Hansen and Val Holmgren who helped to coordinate this project We would also like to thank Dee Hadfield and his crew from the Logan City Street Department and Joe Archer and his crew from Logan Light and Power for their Neighborhoods in the west side of town face many challenges which are common to other areas of Logan The parks in our area — along with other parks in Logan — are often frequented by people peddling drugs Parks are where they do their business Housing riverfront homes in other sections of Logan as well and over the years those homes too have been threatened by high river levels In fact city crews have helped prevent flooding several times over the past 20 years in neighborhoods encouraged? Characteristics ofgood” developments can be found throughout the city’s general plan adopted in 199S and should be used to guide discussions on future annexations and developments I commend Logan Municipal Council members for taking the extra time need- - "such as Sbmac and Island DriveMnd ' may be a little harder to define and go other Island areas In the of 1997 spring city crews were in these same neighborhoods once again and for the first time assisted Country Manor riverfront neighbors as weU Those who have received appreciated growing up in a small community where I knew the people from every part of town where I was with my classmates and their families and where I felt that we were all connected somehow — we were all an important part of our community Logan has been my “hometown" for the past 17 years — particularly the “West Side” of Logan To me West Side is still the Best Side as we have enjoyed living in two neighborhoods in the west and southwest areas of Logan It was therefore somewhat disturbing to read the recent article in The Herald Journal concerning problems with the west area of town I am worried about the perceptions and misconceptions that may have been left in the minds of HJ readers help in all affected neighborhoods throughout Logan have been thankful I’m sure for the efforts of Logan city effect the current war in Yugoslavia Leader Trent Lott and right-win- g presidential candidate Pat Buchanan In the ed needs to be more than a discussion about what is “wrong” with this area of Logan What is it that makes a development “bad” (not just in the west side of town but anywhere in Logan) and what can be done to prevent those problems? What mistakes have been made in the past and how can they be avoided in the future? The debate on this annexation should also include dialogue on the positive effects this development could have on Logan What is it that makes a development “good” and how can this be over the years The list beyond the developments themselves but good neighborhoods can be found where friends and neighbors are willing to become “anxiously engaged in a good cause Each one of Logan's neighborhoods should be the “Best Side” of town and each citizen of Logan should feel a special connection to their own neighbor- of challenges facing our hood This has been the goal of our neighborhoods could go on and on (let's talk traffic problems open space etc) and yet the positive traits of our neighborhoods completely overshadow these challenges The west side of Logan — as are other areas of town — is filled with good neighbors caring friends great parks beautiful riven and river trails quiet streets large lots with animal rights affordable housing opportunities friendly schools and the Logan River Golf Course! The list could go on and on The debate on future annexation and development on the west side of town Neighborhood Council Program and I for one feel that we are well on our way to reaching this goal As a community we should take pride in all of Logan and work together to solve the problems that face our individual neighborhoods I ask for the continued support of Logan city neighborhood councils police area representatives city council members and especially individual community members as we strive to make this happen! Tami Pyfar is a rasidant of Logan and chair- woman ol lha Woodnitt Aral Ooultiaaitt Nsiuti Domooauouncs Other views Idaho Press-Tribun- e NAMPA — Itthewas only two years I ago that Amlrak “company” formed by the federal government to operate the nation’s passenger rail service shut down service from Chicago to Portland Ora via Boise quasi-independe-nt The reason? Congress trimmed tax subsidies and company officials in turn cut back routes that weren’t paying their way Now comes Sen Mike Crapo with his colleague Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon asking the question “Should Amtrak make a comeback?" Our junior senator is asking die ques- tion because some constituents have requested that service from Boise to Portland be restored Susan Wheeler Ctapo's spokeswoman said train service can be a better alternative than traveling by bus and is usually less expensive than air Cues Wyden would like to see the route restored because some of his eastern Oregon constituents have complained drat travel to Portland b difficult tor residents of rural areas We like the idea Service to Portland would definitely increase transportation alternatives for area residents But ridership numbers were too low to justify the service earlier What makes man dunk it will be different now? And the economic realities of the situation have not changed either Taxpay- ers must not subsidize a service that should be able to — but can't — pay its own way m the decision to restart service should be left to the marketplace not the politicians Lewiston Idaho — Whatever eventually has on the ground in Kosovo it has already reshuffled politics' usual suspects in the United States into the most unlikely of alliances Some former hawks are doves Some former doves are hawks But some of both species retain the same plumage they wore during the Vietnam Warandthe Gold War The result as Patricia Cohen explains column of those supporting ground troops are leftist intellectual Susan Son-ta- g and Democratic Sen Tom Harkin as well as Weekly Standard Editor WUliam Kristol and Reagan administration United Nations delegate Jeane Kirkpatrick One reason behind the shifting attitudes is the loss of the right wing's long- in Sunday's New York Times is a time rationale for supporting most realignment of attitudes toward the use exercises of military might the forma of America's military that no longer relies on left and right ends of the politi- cal spectrum Eight facial photographs accompanying Cohen’s piece illustrate the point dramatically In the column of people opposing the use of ground troops to push Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's army out of Kosovo are forma antiwar activist Tam Hayden and forma Democratic President Jimmy Carter along with current Senate Majority Soviet Union's attempt to affect world events During its decades of influence conservatives lined up behind any adventure that might weaken the Soviet Union and its allies even if that meant helping some equally dictatorial regimes And when those adventures were the work of conservative presidents liberal knees could be counted on to jerk in opposition Since the collapse of the Soviet government knees have continued to jerk Mallard Fillmore WMawiHD?
