His mother was born here 70 years ago, and he has a lot of family and friends around. His main reason for running for office is to keep Mapleton from losing its open space and feeling of peace. He has seen the zoning maps and feels a lot of compromises have been made for money. "Are we willing to sacrifice our way of living for money?" he said. As a Mapleton police officer for seven years, Farnworth has insight into the everyday workings of the city, including how the money is used, where it could be saved, and how things can be improved. He also had the ability to see how the city is doing overall. He said his association with hundreds of longtime residents has told him what direction most people want Mapleton to go. Farnworth would like to maintain the atmosphere of this quiet and great place to live, with its outof-the-way feel. He wants to enforce the Mapleton vision statement and make sure the city council continues to listen to citizens. He would also like to influence people to *get involved in politics, creating a sense of belonging that he hopes will make a big difference. Woodland Hills Candidates: From WH • A7 on lab committees. "I've led and built volunteer organizations, so I know about building group consensus," she said. She said growth and revenue are the biggest challenges facing the city. She said Woodland Hills "needs to take control of its own destiny instead of lurching between ill-advised growth strategies. At the moment, the city is enjoying the benefits of recent tax and fee increases; it has to lock this in with realistic long-term planning." She said the city would benefit by using more information technology. Orman would like to see the character of Woodland Hills stay the same, but with improved roads, a new water main, better fire safety and improved sewer hookups. She would like to see more "revenue producing activities,1' as well as a playground and a history and art exhibit. Hilarie Orman has lived in Woodland Hills for 10 years. She has a math degree from MIT, and took graduate courses in computer science at UCLA. Currently she works as a computer scientist. She said, "Rich Schroeppel and I are proud of our daughter. She's an MIT graduate and financial software architect." for needs of the citizens. He feels that common sense and a servant-leadership attitude must prevail in government to ensure that reasonable decisions are made after listening to the citizens. Lutes also says that "during this time of economic hardship for many people, fiscal restraint is mandatory and that taxes and water rates must be kept low." He believes in becoming debt free and being prepared for .the perilous times we are facing. Some of Lutes' goals for Elk Ridge include fiscal restraint, low taxes and water rates, and a quiet, non-commercial atmosphere. Elk Ridge Candidates: From ELK RIDGE • A7 a small town mayor as good preparation for the Elk Ridge position. Under his leadership, he said, "the town was successful in improving its financial condition from one that was virtually bankrupt to Guardian of Your Community News one that was counseled by the state that they had too much money, even after a water main project. This was done by using common sense, fiscal restraint, citizen volunteers, and without raising taxes." If elected mayor, Lutes would like to keep government small while providing As a veteran military officer and professional educator, I have served as an effective leader of both people and resources. I have served at war in nation building; I want to use my skills and focus on city building. Let me represent and serve you. Vote November 3, 2009 KEIR * • * SCOUBES www.sfelection.com • scoubes@gmail.com Salem City Library presents The World of the Wild, an exhibition of artwork curated from Utah's Hogle Zoo's annual art show. Running from Oct. 9-Nov. 14, 2009 at the Salem City Library, 'The World of the Wild" depicts the wild plants and animals housed at the zoo and that live in nature around us. The depiction of animals is an ancient practice that dates back to prehistoric times, when migration and hunting patterns were recorded on the walls of caves. Paintings such as these exist worldwide, such as in the caves of Lascaux, France or Altamira, Spain. Animal depictions also hold religious or spiritual ties. The ancient Egyptians drew and modeled animals with great care based upon the observation of nature. In the western United States, the Freemont and Anasazi Indians drew animal images as a form of spiritual empowerment, and the lamb plays a significant role in Christianity. Today, animals are recorded in art for many of these same reasons, and more — as representations of power or influence, records from scientific exploration, and as a form of historical preservation when highlighting contemporary issues of species loss. Wildlife artists such as James Audubon have been instrumental in raising public awareriess of endangered species. By highlighting animals and plants in the wild, this exhibition strives to educate viewers on the challenges faced by artists, and techniques used when depicting animals. Additionally, this exhibition strives to draw public awareness to and increase appreciation for the animals and fragile ecosystems depicted. The exhibition will be located at Salem City Library, 59 South Main St., Salem from Oct. 9-Nov. 16, 2009. The Salem City Library is open MondaysThursdays from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Fridays from 2-5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m.-2 p.m. For more information on viewing the exhibition, please call 801-423-2622.

'- Lifesaving: From LIFE • A l adrenaline, finished the race. It was with a sense of amazement and wonder that Marcy looked back on what had happened, delighted that she had been able to help, realizing that her training in Woodland Hills had paid off in a way she never expected. She also never expected to hear from Ted, because privacy laws make it impossible to contact victims in these situations. She also wanted to make it clear that she had done just what anyone with similar training would do, and she refused to allow the department "make a big deal'1 out of it. But Fire Chief Dorel Kynaston got a phone call some weeks later that surprised him greatly. Ted's wife, Sherry, called from their home in Las Vegas to say that Ted was fine, but he had no memory of who had saved him. Nonetheless, they had tracked down Marcy to Woodland Hills and wanted to thank her. So on Oct. 15, the Kurtzs came to Woodland Hills to thank Marcy and her colleagues. "She helped a total stranger," Ted told, them, his voice breaking. He is now taking CPR classes. "Twenty minutes of CPR is exhausting," he said. His wife noted that they were celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary, and she was grateful to be able to look forward to many more. Ted is a generous man himself, and his contribution to the fire department was warmly received. The fire department presented him with some mementos of Woodland Hills. Beth Wilding, head of the city's First Responders, said that the CPR training would not have happened without the support of the city. In 2007 the program was nearly extinct and hardly used at all. But that year the city decided to support the program rather than abandon it. Wilding and Fire Chief Dorel Kynaston arranged for training for all the fire department members, and this happened just in the nick of time, because the city found itself deluged with emergency calls just at that time. Within a year, the program was successfully handling more than one life-threatening call per year. Now. the little city on the side of Mt. Loafer looms large on the map of a Nevada family. |
