This last Tuesday and Wednesday Murphy presented, reasons why those living in Kamas Valiev should consider developing a . ' la Hi network of community trails. A couple of Murphy's reasons are that riding hones, bicycling and just plain walking are becoming more dangerous activities because of increased automobile traffic and that unplanned community developments could make existing trails She proposes that utility access roads and canal roads arc some of the possibilities for trail development. The reason for Murphy making these presentations is to get public opinion as to what they want as well as offer rea,ons why trails should be preserved for future generations. Murphy plans on giving two more presentations this coming week. The first one will he at the Francis meeting hall at 7:00. The other one will be at the Kamas City Wednesday at 7:00.

Leavitt was sentenced to zero to five years in prison on Aug. 8 of last year. . Isnt a baby's life worth more than that?" Radmall asks? As a result of the lenient sentence. Radmall started campaigning for stiffer penalties for convicted child abusers. A few weeks ago she made a presentation to the Utah Attorney General's statewide advisory board for children justice centers. The board took Radmalls plea to heart. The board created a subcommittee to research writing a state bill that would attach an automatic penalty enhancement" to the sentence of anyone convicted of the death of child from child abuse.
