Potentially, another step could be taken of planning now to extend the life of the new landfill. If a new landfill is to be built, the life expectancy is only about twenty years. Many communities around the United States have come to the realization that landfill space is very precious. In order to conserve it, they have chosen to provide a composting program for garden and landscaping projects. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.

Apparently, some members of the board were under and by their state association. Talent acts entertained several audiences during the convention. Approximately 80 individuals performed their talent and eight finalists were chosen. Aliza was one of the eight finalists and she performed at the National Talent Show with 30,000 FFA students and advisors in attendance. She played her violin to many tunes.

In Summit County, we have a great opportunity to create a program that could extend the life of a new landfill now. We can also set an example for other rural counties to follow the lead that we choose. It is important to realize that a There are also programs such as the impression that the county would place a deputy in the town on a permanent basis, but Sheriff Eley said this was not the case unless Kamas wanted to pay for the deputy.

The prospect of something new can bring a little excitement into our lives. We can buy new shoes, a new coat or something so common as a new pair of Levis, and anticipate the newness and the pleasure they will bring us. The idea of a new car can make our hearts skip a beat as we visualize a smooth, comfortable ride with few maintenance problems, especially if the new car replaces one that was overcrowded, in the shop a good deal of the time or so rusted out and banged up that we could send it over a cliff with no regrets. A new home is the ultimate new in most of our lives and probably will only happen a few times in each of our lifetimes. It can mean a move across the street or across the country or even across an ocean. It may mean leaving old friends and making new ones; leaving one culture in favor of a new one; and if school children are involved, a new school may be in store for them. Now, we have come to the end of 1993 and 1994 will begin tomorrow. I decline to call it a new year. The date is the only thing that will be truly new. Saturday, 1994, wont start much different than Friday, 1993, ended. There will be little tangible newness. We wont feel, smell, hear or see a difference in one day from the other. However, to dispel any thoughts that I dont welcome a new year, I must say I expect a lot from 1994 and Im sure everyone docs. Im hoping for less racial hatred which is at the root of much of the world turmoil; more disputes being settled amicably instead of with violent actions; cautiousness being used when we are driving, walking or enjoying some kind of recreational activity; an awareness of this world and particularly our specific place in life and an effort made to be the best stewards of our space we can be. I would hope we all will try to follow the laws of our land, rather it be what we feel would be in our best interest or the protection of others where laws have been made by a majority vote. Another thing on my hoped for list for 1994 is compassion to everyone no matter religion, color or belief and realizing we are all capable of being a better person and neighbor than we have been in the past. Love for one another is easy to think about and practice since we have just enjoyed the Christmas season. However, the new" year will be a real test of our true character. wins ty Park City Recycling Association by Shirley 1 7, The Summit County Bee out-of-un- AH renewals to The Summit County Bee should reach the Coalville or Kamas Office by the third Friday of the month to keep your Bee from being cancelled by the computer.
