Show Thft Snlinn Sun Fly that flag teach our kids the Let's meaning of Loyaity few weeks past while watching a special program honoring the flag of the United States of America and the various divisions of the armed services realized just how little really care about my country and my flag. And it hurt. As watched the uniformed men pass in front of me while the flag waved its colors thought of the thousands of people, my age and younger, who have never served our great country or fought for those freedoms preserved by others and taken for granted by us. Wars are condemned by our society and rightfully so on but the other hand it is to bad that we become so hardheaded that it takes something as drastic as a war to make us appreciate what we have. just missed the Viet Nam era and although am very the fighting ended when it did there are times when wish glad had a more vivid understanding of the love have for this country and its people, its laws, government and freedoms. And what is worse, because of my ignorance to just how these freedoms have been preserved over the years my children are growing up with even less of a respect for our own United States. This was displayed by their lack of interest in the flag presentation and the music that should make any patriotic American swell up in pride. As this fourth of July season approaches would hope that each of us would talk with this younger generation and explain to them what it means to live in this great country. Those of you who have fought for our happiness speak out and let's make talking about freedom and the United States a positive conversation. We should try harder than ever before to let our youth understand the privilege of living here that was started and perpetuated by love for an idea and death to defend it. Get your flags out this weekend and fly them with Let that sparkle (which at times can be caused by tears) pride. in your eye shine forth. Lets let everybody know how we love this country, especially this weekend when traditions should never be hidden or set aside. Almost every community in the area will be celebratin some mannerthis weekend and we hope that fourth ing the before you take off for that grassy mountainside for your own family you will take the time to shake hands and hug those neighbors and friends living around you.

The previous rate of $28.50 per quarter was changed to $40.50 per quarter for minimum usage. This represents an increase of $4 per month and is the first increase in water rates since 1981. Even with the increase, Auroras rates are still below most communities for the amount of water delivered. reluctant to increase the rates for several years. The General Fund has been subsidizing the water fund for the last few years, and with the need to plan for disinfectant equipment and some major restructuring of water lines, the Council has chosen to make an adjustment to the rates. A few weeks ago the City made application for a Community Impact Board Grant to develop a new water sources west of town. The iT 't -- 4 We welcome letters to the Editor. Letters must be signed.

A v- k : TRANSPLANT: DWR Biologists Jim Guymon and Jeff Grandison recently helped transplant nine Rocky Mountain Goats on the Tusher Mountains, east of Beaver. The June 25 transplant of three six goats supplemented the July 24 1986 plant of seven goats. DWR says that Utah has great habitat for the Goats and feel that if they are managed successfully, they will add greatly to Utah's hunting, sport, and beauty of it's wildlands. The goats usually summer at elevations of 12,000 ft. possible. not use energy constructively? Why Dear Editor, First I would like to thank the handful of hard working members of the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce for trying to do a few things for the betterment of the Salina area with a meager amount of money to work with. To mention three events off the top of my head, there arc the East Egg Hunt for the children in the area, the sign being purchased and painted to be installed on the freeway coming from Richfield and this year we donated $3,600 for athletic equipment to the North Sevier High School with matching funds from the School District Everyone must realize that from time to time each business is hurt by church and civic projects. Hurting me directly are several events which I will leave unmentioned for fear I might be misinterpreted as being against and I certainly am not I say lets not go out to hurt anyone and the few civic and church events will basically take care of themselves. Let us all look for something nice in each organization and maybe call and lend a helping hand to the Chamber of Commerce, the Lions, church groups, etc. Maybe this way our energy will go in the right direction instead of having enough energy to get mad or to criticize. Carolyn Jensen Moms Cafe Street dances are good for this area, says group Dear Editor: We are writing in response to the letter written by Earl J. Steiger in last weeks paper. We are in disagreement with his views concerning the street dances held on Salinas main street three times each summer, and would like to point out that the large majority of people attending the dances do not enjoy the atmosphere of a bar. We ask him to examine the motives of the people sponsoring these dances in an effort to provide wholesome entertainment and applaud their efforts. We would like to point out that these dances are a great opportunity for everyone in the community to get together and enjoy a good time at this type of function parents can even bring their teenage children. There arc too few activities as it is in this area for our younger people. In regards to the dance coming on the 2nd, we would like to point up out that it is not the Bar activities of this town that bring the people to Salina on the4thofJuly weekend. It is the rodeo and parade and related activities. In closing, we would like to emphasize the fact that the street dances take only three Saturdays out of the entire year. Lets dont divide our community into opposing sides. Lets all try to support each other.

June 29.1983 that have available habitat have a ready source for the beautiful Rocky Mountain Goat. Rocky Mountain Goats, like the Tusher population, typically summer at elevations upwards of 11,500 to 12,000 feet, and winter at elevations of 9,000 to 9,500 feet. This high elevation habitat selection lessens the chance for any competition for forage with domestic livestock. The Tusher Mountain Rocky Mountain Goat transplant was a result of cooperation between the U.S. Forest Service, DWR, and local wildlife federations to providemulti-useo- n public lands community members to help the City curb vandalism by being aware of what is happening around you and your home and report anything you feel is harmful to the community or the funds for the project, but the City to your neighbors property.
