Our family went camping recently and what a joy it was to be out in nature and enjoy God's beauty from a different perspective. Children never cease to amaze me with their ability to adjust to any circumstance and enjoy whatever is taking place around them. For example, while the adults were hustling around trying to get camp set up and making sure things were just right, the little ones romped through the trees, rode their bikes, waichcd squirrels scampering about and butterflies flying through the air. When it came time to walk down to the creek to see if we could find a beaver pond, shoes flew off and into the cold water we went yep! grandma joined right in, and it wasn't the sharp rocks and the cold wa'er that got to me, it was walking on the thistles when I gut out.

Anyway, it was great fun and we hope to do it again sometime very soon. Changing topics, as I am known to do, I have to admit I love reading bumper stickers. Recently, a friend shared some with me that she located on the Internet as "bumper stickers wed like to see", so I thought I'd share them with you.

My hubby and I decided to get out of the house and go to a movie, which was done with a little bit of caution since we have seen a couple of them during the past year that I wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Residents in unincorporated areas would only be taxed by the school district. The school board stalled for the meeting with officials from ail the areas encompassed by the school district was held. Although everyone agreed that a recreation facility was sorely needed, no one could agree on where it should be located. Kamas officials did not want to see the pool, or other facilities associated with the school, moved out of city boundaries. Members of the South Summit School Board voted against enteragreement ing into an inter-loc- al that would have allowed them to join forces with surrounding entities shortly afterwards. The 4-- 1 vote took place at the school board next few months, awaiting the completion of the study undertaken by the Sports Management Group. Not surprisingly when their report came out in May, it echoed other studies undertaken. We know from our study that absolutely, the needs of community members are not being met by existing facili- ties," said Lauren Livingston of The Sports Management Group at the May meeting.

Jenkins said, "school boards could really benefit from this tax. However, first the initiative must pass, and even then the money is not going to all come pouring in at once. The estimate of $8 million would take place over the next 10 years. The statement, which was adopted with a 4-- 1 vote, essentially says that providing for the educational needs of students is their first priority. However, the Board also recognizes its ability to help pro- vide recreation facilities and is willing to work with the public to do so if, the public expresses that desire through a public input process. Now, they are ready to take the next step public input. Members of the school board are adamant that they are not trying to sell the public on anything. No decision has been made and nothing will be done until they hear what the public has to say.
