Carlene Veenker, the Pleasant Grove PTA Council Community Involvement Commissioner handed out red ribbons to the local principals, PTA council and the PTA presidents at a recent Council meeting. The individual PTA's will sup-ply ribbons for the school as stu-dents participate in the national event. Honorary Chairman are President Ronald Reagan and Mrs. Nancy Reagan and Governor Nor-man Bangerter and Mrs. Colleen Bangerter. The Red Ribbon Campaign originated when Federal Agent Enrizue Camarena was murdered by drug traffickers in 1985. The Red Ribbon became the symbol to reduce the demand for drugs, just as the yellow ribbons symbolized the hostages in Iran, and the green ribbon symbolized murdered chil-dren in Atlanta. Many individual communities across America have organized Red Ribbon Campaigns to create an awareness of alcohol and drug problems. The National Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth, Inc. has assumed the leadersh ip role by organizing this first national Red Ribbon campaign. The Utah Fed-eration of Drug Free Youth held a Red Ribbon Run in 1987 and willco-spons-the Red Ribbon Campaign in Utah this year. Kathy Harrison, PTA President at Pleasant Grove High, reported the High School students will be observing Drug Free America Week but will be wearing blue rib-bons as their symbol. The cheer-leaders will kick off the campaign on October 23 and will be wearing red swear shirts. The red sweat shirts and tee shirts are available at the school. The PTA will be in-volved each day as the students are all encouraged to wear red on Wednesday. A message will be received at lunch on Thursday with the note, "Say No to Drugs." Night School counselor Bruce Bushnell is involved with the pro-gram and will be attending each Family Life Class with a message to say "No" to drugs. The High School received a mini-gra- on Drug Prevention and events will be held throughout the year. Some kids are drug abusers but so many are not and the school wants the students to express themselves about Drug Prevention. It's Peer Pressure, they want to help stu-dents have a plan and make a deci-sion to stay away from drugs. The students will hand out rib-bons and ask others to sign a com-mitment they will be drug free. The signatures will be transferred to a scroll and taken to Governor Bangerter from the Pleasant Grove studentbody. Exciting things will occur dur-ing the year, Mr. Bushnell has Hyrum Smith comingfor an assem-bly in January and hopes to have Dale Murphy later on. The community can demon-strate commitment for Drug Free America by wearing and displaying Red Ribbons during the week. Carlene Veenker, standing, of the PTA Council, distributes to Grovecrest Principal Scott VVestover and PTA President Linda Clegg, red ribbons to wear in the Red Ribbon Campaign to create a "Drug Free America." . j ( I ; I ' , t ; if " 111! 1; - if h ;i . i 1T1 - v i ?H j IllLil' . , J I f '' f ' ' ' ' ""- - , ,r., ' fZft , I I vA - '' -' '.( ' ' I.,,, mm .n.i ni f " . . v 'I Grovecrest School's new teachers are, L-- Celeste Heyer, Elaine Christiansen, Stephanie Beal and Steve Salmon.

Smoky holiday trip focuses on fire By KALYN SECRETAN A Labor Day weekend trip to Southern Idaho has been a regular occurance during the past few years. Sometimes to settle kids in college at Ricks and other times to visit friends. We were warned before our venture that the air was filled with smoke, but we decided to go anyway. Sure enough, smoke had settled throughout the area. Residents are anxious to end the fire. The North Fork Fire has been burning since July 25. Farmers donated the use of their sprinkling pipes and volunteers are pumping water to try to keep it away from Island Park. Church members were praying and fasting for rain. College students were seen retur-ning to campus Saturday night after volunteering to fight in the nation's biggest fire. We rode up to Island Park. We wanted to visit Big Springs, a beautiful spot and a place to feed the fish. As we traveled to the area, we noticed the KOA camp at Island Park was covered with tents and tarps to offer shelter for firefighters. Layers of smoke varied in locations through the area and the sun was setting blood red. As we reached within a half mile of our destination, we were told we had to turn back. We asked if we could just continue to Big Springs and were told, we could go back to the main road and come in on the graveled road. The traffic enforcer commented, "We are hoping for the wind to change directions and send the fire back in the park. They are the ones who wanted it in the first place." Turning around, we noticed fisherman along the way, while others stood by vehicles waiting for reports. We arrived at Big Springs and watched men busily connecting main laterals with smaller pipe placed to use as needed. Water was being pumped from the springs to feed the pipes. Big Springs looked beautiful. Visitors were concerned. "I hope nothing will happen to this spot. It is our favorite place to come." Kids were throwing pieces of bread aid watching the fish jump, while out man came along and opened a can of corn. He had discovered Ik j really big fish don't come after Ike .' bread but they sure jump for fc . corn. Henry's Fork starts at Big ( Springs. It is one of the 40 largest springs in the United States andte a constant temperature of I , degrees. A sign stated it coulc provide the daily needs of a city i one million people. Our visit was interrupted wher . we were told to leave, as the fc . was just one mile away. Worken . were trying to use the roads as i ; fire break. Summer homes m surrounded by pipe in an effort ; save them if the fire heads way. A couple of girls told of lea Yellowstone and seeing the p r where fire had jumped roads streams. Business was carrying as usual at Mack's Inn and m stops, but residents were all on aw ,: and ready to leave at any Many stated the fire cannot ft , contained until snowfall. Task force on child sexual abuse receives grant The Utah County Interagency Task Force on Child Sexual Abuse and Assault has received a $4,000 grant from the Children's Trust Fund (CTF). The grant, however, is contingent upon the Task Force's raising matching funds from local businesses and individuals by Nov. 15. Laura Blanchard, chairman of the Task Force, said the funding will help the Task Force accomplish its major goal: prevention of child abuse. "Ultimately, prevention of child abuse is the only cost-effecti-solution - in both financial and human terms - to this problem," she said. "The dollars which we invest in prevention now are the best investment we can ever make as a community concerned about the future." To match the funds from the CTF, Blanchard said the Task Force needs contributions from Utah County businesses, civic groups and individuals. donations may De mailed to: Utah County Interagency Task Force on Sexual Abuse and Assault, P.O.
