As I by Shirley It seems politicians started campaigning earlier than ever before for election year, 1992. The TV brings right to our homes candidates with their projected goals and criticisms and promises we know arc impos-- , sible to keep. They would have to have a magic hat to pull most of their promises from. Still, all this publicity gives the voters a chance to listen to their stories and try to decide if their values come close to ours and if their goals are really for the betterment of our country and world and not a step up or over someone else. "Never has the world been in such a turmoil," is repeated daily in papers and on TV, but probably every generation has heard this statc- ment repeated over and over again. Although times have never been worse, they also have never been belter. The discoveries in the field of medicine were not even a dream a few years ago. Our forms of communication are phenomenal. Our learning tools are fantastic. Everything to make human life more en- joyablc and full is at our fingertips. Yet the politicians tell us times are bad and will get worse if they arc not elected. Some are going to save us tax dollars. Some want more or less money going for defense, depending on the party. Some have promised a renewed educational system that almost pays for itself and some have promised a better education, but a big jump in educational money, which will come from you know where. Locally, we don't hear so many promises made. When you live in the same neighborhood as your constituents, it is a different matter to make promises and proposals you know a friend or neighbor will question. We pretty much already know the qualifications of our county candidates. Many we went to school with, worked on committees together and reared our children and supported them in church, school, e. and county activities, sitting We know the values they have. The scary part is not knowing how they will stand up under stressful pressures from others or if they arc strong enough to represent us well. One who had done well in private life doesn't .always make a good public figure. It is impoijant for all voters .to attend meetings and public affairs where our candidates will be speaking so wc can judge for ourselves just how they will conduct themselves and if they will stand their ground and not be persuaded to forget who they represent, who voted them into office and why they are there. i side-by-sid- Just Thoughts From Bessie's Collection To accomplish great things, wc must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe.

Qn a committee to submit a letter of interest to: Don Sargent, County economic fill expects to continue operating under Subtitle D regulations, several changes will need to be made, according to Michael O'Hara, of Bingham Engineering. During his presentation, O'Hara went through a list of what he called preliminary recommendations which are as follows: In order to monitor the impact of groundwater around Three Mile Canyon, a storm water discharge permit must be obtained through the Utah State Division of Water Quality. Hie deadline for applying for the permit, which requires monitoring and sampling of three separate storm events, is October of 1992. 'Rather than attempting to operate two landfills in Summit County under. Subtitle D regulations, O'Hara recommended that the landfill in Henefer be closed completely or operated to accept construction waste only. Because Subtitle D regulations only apply to landfills accepting municipal soild waste, Hcnefers landfill would be exempt if operated fra construction waste only. Mr. O'Hara also recommended . tions.

A compost program needs to be developed or start to refuse acceptance of yard wastes completely (both of which arc being done in several states across the country). Restrict access with portable fencing. Modify the schedule and parameters fra groundwater ' testing. Cease to accept liquids, including septage. Very importantly, install scales to weigh incoming vehicles before and after dumping in order to better monitor volumes and assess fees. Increase fees to a multiple level system: residential col-- and dump trucks, lection, construction debris, pick-u- p loads, roll-off- s, and tires. Outside the scope of operations at Three Mile Canyon, O'Hara recommended that the county increase support fra recycling and source re- duction programs. He also suggested that a citizen advisory board or committee be created to provide planning input on fees, landfill Attention All The 4-- H "And My World" International Night, which was scheduled for June 8 at the Oakley Town Hall, has beat canceled. 4-- H enrollments are being accepted at the USU Extension Office in Coalville.
