Show Page 2 August 17. 1988 r ilhm Basin Standard dJJintah The Price of Apathy The Basin is entering an all too brief period of time where what we do or dontdo will effect our economic and agricultural : future! Current and proposed legislation will determine the Basins potential for growth for the next few decades as the CUP winds down and the Basins water needs are set aside, supposedly to be addressed in separate legislation next year. That may or may not happen, depending on the actions that residents of the Basin take now, and in November and who will represent us on those bills. , This November will see voters having the chance to elect or officials at . national and with the state level, county, chance to send a strong message to those officials about the Basin and its needs. Something that must be done if the area is to survive and have any chance to grow and re-ele- expand its industry. The Basin must have representatives who will fight for the best interests of the Basin and indeed, the whole state, not just the Wasatch front. Those officials who do not represent our interests, or who force the special interests of only their districts on areas outside their own, should be told clearly to keep their nose out of our business". The Basin can do this if we make our feelings known by writing and calling our representatives, both locally arid nationally. Those eligible to vote should be sure they are registered and most importantly, use that vote. In the last national elections less than half of the eligible voters turned out to vote and in the county elections, it wasnt much better. The Basin cannot afford to be a silent majority or minority any longer, if there is to be any hope of a better future for ourselves and our children, or grandchildren. United, coordinated action must be taken now, on a community and personal level both. Find out about the issues, become aware of the choices and consequences and talk about it with friends and neighbors. Write congressmen and senators and most of all, be sure to vote for those who will represent our interests. The only way to protect bur future is to take part in the shaping of it Depending on the other guy to do it for us will only result in nothing getting done, or things becoming even bleaker than they already are. We cant afford to take that chance... ct . For years, the Basins water, CUP dues and severance taxes have been flowing to the Wasatch front and benefits have been slow in coming back the other way . The Ute Tribe is doing something about the severance taxes coming from resources on tribal and trust lands, as well as working with other Basin residents and officials on the water issues, but much more needs to be done. In addition to putting forth a combined . front on the water issues, Basin residents should push for these topics to be considered election issues as well and demand more than just promises ofconsideration. age group did have some bearing on the opinions, but if we all liked the same things, what a dull and boring world this would be, (not to mention a lot ofsnack food producers would be put out of business...). If watching someone get their face sucked down a drain, with horrible screaming; etc., by slimy bit ofjelly", is exciting, then go for it. I wasnt thrilled with the movie the first time it came out two decades or more ago, either... ITl stick to the Marx Brothers or .

Speaking ofsnack foods, have you ever noticed how many different varieties and types there are? I never realized how many ways If you've gone through the canyons lately, you may have noticed that some trees have already begun to change the color of their leaves, (OH NO! Not already!), from some of the chilly evenings in the Basin recently. Park City has already had at least one eveningof 23 degrees...Its The sun is setting earlier and evenings are a little cooler than comfortable now and then, but there is still some Summer left, so dont worry too much, yet... Actually, Fall is a pleasant time of year too, with tailgate and marshmalparties, low cookouts and FOOTBALL!!! I enjoy going through the canyons as the leaves start to turn different colors and there is a tang in file air, a kind of. crispness. The clouds are different too, as the freezing level begins to drop in altitude.
