Show i r J a PW UINTAH BASIN STANDARD, March 2. 9. 1968 i ( Standard Uintah (Basin s Learning to adapt to a changing world ' asasgsag lj These questions are all important, but the bottom line is, what is best for all of Roosevelt? What actions offer the best opportunity for growth, for improving the firtute economics of the area and allowing the community the option for continued growth? How much growth is possible or probable? What is the immediate impact of the growth compared outlook? to the long-terDo we, as a community, really want or need progress, growth and expansion, for our area, with all it's consequences, both good and not so good? Thats something each of us, in our own way, must decide, after reviewing all the facts from both sides of the issue. Only we can decide whether we can accept and leam how to adapt to change, or deny it and be left behind by it The decision is ours and it cannot be avoided. Someone once said that the only thing that never changes, is the fact that things always do change, and that in order to grow, to leam, or improve, change is not only mandatory, it's inevitable and for the city of Roosevelt, as well as those who live within its boundaries, that has always been true. Roosevelt city and it's citizens are at a crossroads in their history and important decisions face the council in the weeks ahead. Actually, they are the same decisions the council and general population have faced before and will continue to face, just as the same issues are faced by other local communities all across the nation. What is the cost of growth and progress, both in the long and short term? Can we afford to pay the price of progress? What are the alternatives? Can we really afford not to . ; m progress? Why is our water their power? Time is running out fix' water storage projects in the Uintah Basin.. As the Jordanelle Dam construction gets underway near Heber, the Taskeetch dream for Uintah Basin storage grows dimmer and dimmer still. While the Ute Tribe works with our county commissioners and the county water board in a frantic effort to reclaim our projects, along with our water, its unsettling to realize that powers in the upper echelon ISO miles west of us are oblivious to our needs. Frankly, it appears they only see one thing: water is power. Yes, to those that wield the pens and possess the power, water is power, so they proceed, with their grand plan that-- at its have provided water storage facilities here, as well as in the Western Utah desert areas, where the need is desperate. ' Instead, the facilities get built that as inception-wou- ld sure the water will be taken from its source (for instance, the Uintah Basin mountains), to the Wasatch Front, where the powers that be can slow-pace- d controliL There the excess accumulates in our very large, salty landmark until theres no more room for it there. So then the Powerful Ones spend millions to pump that formerly clean and useful water into die desert, where it should have gone in the first place. But now it is salty and useless, and there are no storage facilities anyway, so it runs into alkaline oblivion. The Basin could lose its water, and the essential reservoir too; the desert area gets tire water alright, minedjust as the land will be with such poor management But dont worry. Through it all, those that be retain control of tiie water. And powers . fhia fantastic crew, Connie Hoi--' gate.

There ia a misconception that pedal accommodations have to be made for older workers, according to Percy Devine, Older Worker Employment Specialist for the State Division of Aging and Adult Services. Mr. Devine further stated Older Workers are punctual, take the initiative and generally have a higher level of productivity than younger employees. They don't need a chance to prove themselves, they have already proven themselves. They only need a chance to use their abilities.
