SCHULTZ Dear Editor: This is a P.S. to my last letter (June 20 San Juan Record ). I studied the maps of the golf course (and the name). I now live in Mesa, AZ and have seen a great change in my 20 years here. It is the fastest growing city (town) in America. Every place we go, the West is emphasized in looks, architecture, food, dress. That is what the newcomer wants and they are getting it. The more western the better. I can see where Old Man West would appeal to them. It is printed that your new golf course is going to 188,000 readers. . Wow! It may bring more people to stay after they have been there several times -like "winter visitors. The nickname "snowbirds, not with disrespect but friendly - we make them welcome and give them the western look. It has taken Mesa from a little village to the fast growth. How can we (Im including myself as a native San Juaner) confine our beautiful Horse Head to west? For instance... "Come to the "West golf course, the only one found snuggled under a Horse Head that nature put there. Hiere are a lot of poets in San Juan, they can work on 317 S. Main, Suite 3 Tomb Raider 8:30 pjn.

Him lea Dear Editor: In a recent conversation I had with Bruce Ardam (a member of Senator Orrin Hatchs staff) I was informed that Senator Hatch does not believe that human life begins when the sperm penetrates the egg. This is Orrin Hatchs justification for his latest urging of President Bush to authorize the use of federal money for medical research that involves harvesting cells derived by destroying human embryos a believe kills unborn chilprocess that many scientists and dren. Senators Orrin G. Hatch of Utah and Susan Collins of Maine, said such experiments could be conducted safely and ethically under guidelines adopted by the National Institutes of Health. Senator Collins, who is said, "Stem cell research holds tremendous potential to treat and even cure a vast array of diseases and conditions. Hatch, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Collins expressed their views last week in separate letters to President Bush, (see article Salt Lake TVibune, June 25, 01) However, the Bush administration is deeply divided over whether to prohibit federal support for research using embryonic stem cells. The presidents advisors on science and health policy, including Tommy G. Thompson, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, see immense potential value in research with embryonic stem cells. But Karl Rove and other political advisers worry that support for such research would alienate advocates. pro-lif- e organizations and pro-lif- e Pro-lif- e Senator Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, is leading opposition to embryonic stem cell research. He said the research was "deeply immoral because scientists destroyed human life in the process of isolating stem cells from embryos. In February 2000, 18 current Republican senators signed a letter opposing "destructive embryo research. But Hatch told the President that research with embryonic stem cells was "legal, scientifically compelling and ethically - pro-life- Proofreader DAWN BOYLE 37S, Utah S4SSa.

Senator James Jeffords of Vermont, who quit the Republican Party and became an Independent last month, is also urging the administration to allow federal aid for research with embryonic stem cells. (Pro-lif- e infonet: June 25, 01) It was recently pointed out that some who are now supporting stem cell research, are doing so in complete contradiction of their past opposition. One letter said that the Clinton administration plan to fund such research is contrary to a pro-lif- e law (the Dickey Amendment) "which we support and which remains in effect. The Clinton guidelines, the letter said, "regulate the means by which researchers may obtain and destroy live human embryos in order to receive federal funds... in violation of the law. The letter concluded, "Because Congress never intended for the Executive Branch to facilitate destructive embryo research, we urge the National Institutes ofHealth to withdraw these guidelines as contrary to the law and Congressional intent. ' Obviously, our Senator, Orrin Hatch, has gained a lot of influence through his many years representing Utah. Sadly, he is now using that influence to destroy embryos so he can harvest their cells for use in other humans. Its kind of like taking parts out of a new car (rendering it dead and useless) so you can use those parts to potentially an old car. Hie very prospect of such Hitler-lik- e experimentation is shocking and the way the people of Utah react to Senator Hatchs pursuit of these experiments, will have a lot to say about Utah. fix Sincerely, Hsanwmbwel , William P.
