Morco is in serious jeopardy ofshutting down its doors by the endof the year if business doesn’timprove. When Jerry Gaskin firstdecided to invest in EagleMountain by putting in a grocerystore in the city center, his projec-tions were promising. If he couldget town center residents to do30% of their grocery shopping atMorco it would be successful. Thefirst year they had 23% of busi-ness. It is now down to 20% eventhough many more people havemoved in and in theory their salesshould be much higher.

Last Tuesday at the city councilmeeting, Gaskin addressed thecouncil and residents on his con-cerns. He announced that if thesales for Morco doesn’t improvedramatically within the next twomonths, Morco will close its doorson December 31st. If sales doimprove and show signs of steadyincrease, Morco will look atexpanding.

Gaskin is considering an addi-tional store site in The Ranches,most likely much bigger than the

City Center store, which wouldremain and possibly expand if thedemand is stillthere.

In order togenerate morebusiness, addi-tional shelf spacehas been addedand will continueto be added togive more of aselection for cus-tomers. After sur-veying the regu-lar customers toavoid an incon-venience, thestore hours havebeen changed to8 a m - 8 p mMonday throughSaturday to helpwith costs.Requests aretaken and evalu-ated for differentitems for thestore to carry.

Gaskin understands residents’tendencies to hit the sales and heknows that Morco can’t always

compete with the big store’s saleson every item, but Morco will do

everything theycan to get thegreat prices. Forexample, milk hasbeen on sale for$1.99 approxi-mately once amonth. Gaskinstated that saleslike that can beheld more often ifthey sell well.

Gaskin doesn’twant to leave. Hegreatly appreci-ates the regularcustomers that hehas.

“I think peopleneed to know thatdissolving thisbusiness is thelast thing we wantto do, but we arein a business.We’ve appreciat-ed very much

being here and our intent is to stayhere and eventually build a biggerstore that has a lot more to offer.”

After months of going door to doorvisiting with voters...

After months of distributing cam-paign literature...

After months of answering ques-tions again and again and again...

Candidates for office for theupcoming terms are no doubt exhaust-ed - but eager to take their positions...provided they get elected.

This Tuesday, the polls will be openand Eagle Mountain residents will nodoubt best just about any other city inthe state in voter turnout rate.

People seem to know who they arevoting for, too. In an online poll,nearly half of respondents stated that“Wild horses couldn't drag me awayfrom voting for who I want in!”Nearly another 25% stated, “I mightchange my mind - but not likely.”

As for civility, many would agreethat this city has seen worse - twoyears ago when an “anonymous” letterwas sent out essentially forcing amayoral candidate from the race.

Still, the race this year has not beenwithout its share of negative dialogueand hurt feelings - mainly from sup-porters - and not the candidates them-selves.

We asked a few candidates to sharetheir feelings on civility in this elec-tion. You can read their thoughtsstarting on page 3.

If you feel that you still don’t knowthe candidates well enough to make aninformed decision, please visitwww.EMutah.com and peruse anenormous amount of audio, pictutres,and text that may help you narrowyour selections.

We would like to thank all the can-didates for their help in providingcountless hours dedicated to writing,answering questions and enhancingthe efforts that the Interactive has pro-moted so that people can understandthe candidates themselves and theissues at hand. We believe that every-one pictured here are truly among thebest the city has to offer and thatregardless of who gets elected, thecity has alot to look forward to thanksto those so willing to serve.

Who Will Represent Eagle Mountain?

From The EconomicDevelopment Board Chairman,Vincent Liddiard:

If we truly want to attract addi-tional growth we must realize thetremendous need for a local store.We must do our part by shoppingat Morco when possible. I realizethat homeowners in the ranchesare not likely make a drive southto stop at Morco but certainlythose of us who live in the citycenter must realize the kind ofcommitment Jerry has made toour local community and do ourpart to support him. He has all thebasic requirements for caring for ahome and feeding a family.Furthermore; he is willing to stockany item you require. I am partic-ularly fond of the diet IBCRootbeer that he stocks for me.

If Morco cannot be successfulhere who will? If we can't supportour only local retail outlet it willsend a resounding message to anyother interested business that weare not ready, that we do not want

a store in our area. However, ifwe are able to show that we cansupport local businesses and thatthey can thrive here additionalbusiness along with increasedgrowth in homes can occur. If wefollow this line of thinking farenough we can see that it will alsohelp to repay the debts we owe onlocal utilities by increasing thenumbers of ERU's and providinglocal stability to our area.

Jerry has built his store herewith commitment to serve thelocal community. His store hasbeen a gathering place and a com-munity center for activity. Heprovides a local service that can-not be easily replaced. It is a hall-mark for home builders, and real-estate sales to be able to point to anearby convenience as a pillar inour community. This in turn helpsus capture a good resale value ofour homes.

I encourage each of you to doyour part and make Morco a partof your regular shopping activi-ties.

2-year city council seat candidates debate: closing statementsTranscription by LeeAnn Bohman

Note: This is a parital transcrip-tion of the two-year debate heldlast Friday evening. You may lis-ten to the full audio at www. emutah.com.

Strouse: Well, I very much amlooking forward to working withthe city council and being part ofthe city council. I am looking for-ward to sharing my talents andskills, and taking the opportuni-ties to lead this city into the futurewith a great deal of progress andprosperity.

I know of my talents and skills,and my ability to work with peo-ple, and my track record of lead-ership. Such as, as I mentioned, Iwas President of an 800-memberhospital association. I was a vice-chair of our caucus in Sandy. Iwas a district coordinator forSandy City. I worked extensivelywith the city government-themayor, representatives of the firedepartment, the police, and such,and communicated back andforth.

I was a conduit of informationbetween the people in the city andthe people in government andmade sure information went bothways, so people could participatein government and the leaderswould have input from the peo-ple, so they could represent bet-ter. They could function as gov-ernment should function: of thepeople, by the people, for thepeople. I was a delegate to theRepublican convention and Iwork well with people. I believe

in team-buildingleadership. Like Isaid, not one per-son has all theanswers, and as ateam, we can allwork togetherand we can builda brighter andbetter future forthis community.This town can bea shining exam-ple for the stateof Utah. We havejust a tremendousopportunity here. I'm very anx-ious to get going, and go to workfor the people of this city.

Kofoed: I am so positive aboutthe future of this city. My vantagepoint, of having been the first res-ident in town center, where peo-ple came here on nothing but thepromise of a vision. People willcome and move here. It's a mutepoint to believe that nobodywants to come here. People will ifwe can bring this vision tofruition-if we can start havingpeople see that this is a goodplace to live. This is a place thatthey can bring their family outand buy a home and they willactually have their property val-ues increase and build the equitythat they need. That will bringpeople here.

How are we going to do that?We need to bring businesses here.One thing that I would like tomention, that wasn't mentioned,is, unless I'm mistaken, our busi-nessman down here, Mr. Elwell,has committed to stay here. Thecity, just recently, has done

things, and he's staying here. Sothe problem of him moving is notsomething that's in the worksright now, which I think portendswell for future, what we can do.

Another thing that I would liketo say about that-the utilities. I'mvery positive about what we cando with the utilities. Again, if wesell or if we don't sell, that's adecision to be made for thefuture. Right now we need towork to make these utilities good.We're going in the right direction.

The utility rates are going to goway down. We've gone downfrom, I think we were paying 12to 13 dollars a decatherm, 12 dol-lars a decatherm last winter.We're going to be down to, prob-ably, about a little over five dol-lars a decatherm. We are going inthe right direction with the utili-ties. This is going to be a muchbetter winter.

I've got to tell you, this hasbeen stressful. People here in thetown center, with the problemwith the decrease in property val-ues, which we have seen (I havepersonally seen a decrease in myproperty values), and the high

utility rates,have found it[hard]. We hada couple ofneighbors, forexample, thatgot jobs out ofstate. Theycouldn't selltheir homes.Those are prob-lems that Ithink can besolved. Ibelieve in thefact that we can

solve these problems--get thingsgoing on the upswing here.

For example, I'd like to just goback really quickly to the disputewith Eagle Mountain Properties.As I was thinking about it, whatreally needs to happen, you knowcan call it different names andeverything, but the fact of thematter is that Eagle MountainProperties is in arrears on whatthey should have been in. There'sno need for it, because there has-n't been any growth. But, as far asa timeline, they are in arrears. Weneed to go to a development line.What will solve that is to get backto the impact fees schedule.That's what's going to help that.That's what is going to help solvethe problems with EagleMountain Properties, and getthings going here. We can do that.That is within the power of thetown council to do that. We canget that done.

I believe in other aspects thatwe need to get moving on aroundhere. For example, we need tohave more developers. We needto work with more developers

than just Eagle MountainProperties. This is another thing,as a town council, we can do.There's the state trust lands, thatthey came in two or three monthsago and gave a presentation. Weneed to vigorously pursue thoseavenues. Eagle MountainProperties owns their land in thisdirection. There are other people.Coldwell Banker owns land uphere. There's more than just EagleMountain Properties that ownsland. We need to have, and work,and aggressively pursue moredevelopers than just EagleMountain Properties. We can dothat. That's within our power todo. I believe that that will helpsecure the property values of thistown. What's good for the towncenter is going to be good for TheRanches. We're connected in thatway.

We also need to make gooddecisions as a town council. Ireally like the emphasis on com-munication and participation. Ifwe can get the people to start tak-ing more…I'll try to pull thistogether really quickly. We needto be able to get people involved.That's what's going to help unifythis city. If we can get peopleunderstanding the issues, thatway they can communicate withthe town council, we can makeproper decisions having under-stood what the developers have tosay about that, having understoodhow that impacts the people andget them involved. We can makethis happen. I'm very positiveabout the outlook of this town.

Linn Srtouse (L) and Chris Kofoed (R) answered questions andshared in a lively debate last week. Photo: Josh Elledge

I don't need to compare myselfto Thomas Jefferson, AbrahamLincoln, or George W. Bush. Idon't need to stand behind a six-foot tall flag to try to convince youthat I am patriotic, or state that Iam "The Voice of the People". Iam proud to be an Eagle Mountainresident who loves his communityand who is willing to give fouryears of service to EagleMountain.

"The Voice of the People"would have you believe that thecurrent administration has donenothing for two years and wantsthe City to fail, and that all ourproblems will go away once theCity's Administrator, CityEngineer, and utilities areremoved from the picture. Letssnap back to reality! The Counciland Mayor are residents of the

City and each decision they makeaffect them as well. It is mucheasier to stand back and makestatements like, and I quote "Thepast administration has workeddiligently to maintain the courseof the status quo. The fruits of thisattitude are non cooperation withbusinesses, developers, and resi-dents alike." I find this an amaz-ing statement from "The Voice ofthe People". Eagle Mountain suf-fers from growing pains and neg-ative statements like the oneabove. Two years ago there wereno Crittenden Corner, Ashpoint,Rockwell Village, Mt. Airey,Sundance, Willow Springs,Diamond Springs, Castle Rock,Chimney Rock, Saddleback,Three Crossings, or FridayStation. There was no golf course,library, Morco, Eagles Gate, den-tist, ambulance, or Nortel Switch.

Now there is, and that is due inpart to an administration, develop-ers, residents and businesses thatworked together to create EagleMountain. Were there obsta-cles? Absolutely! Will there beobstacles in the future? Yes,there will be, regardless ofwhom takes office.

I have lost votes because I willnot come out and promise to ter-minate certain City personnel. Toeven suggest such a thing reflectspoor leadership. A responsible leader will evaluate ones perform-ance and take necessary action ifthat employee is not performing.

I have stood firm on the issues.People know where I stand andwhat I believe in. Others have

swayed like willows in the wind.Is that change, or just campaignpromises?

Eagle Mountain is full ofpotential. The sky's the limit. Iunderstand the issues and have aplan of action for each task, notjust the same old statements thatwe need to be "friendly", and needto create this and that with no realplan of action.

This will be one of the mostimportant elections in EagleMountain's history. Many of thebig issues have been taken care ofor are nearing completion. Thefootings and foundation of theCity is complete. It is now time tostart the real building of EagleMountain.

If you are looking for a Mayor who willwork hard, has experience in business and

city government, who loves EagleMountain, and has the desire to makeEagle Mountain the envy of the State.

I have received many callsasking me about a confusingletter that was mailed twoweeks ago to residents in aneffort to make it appear that Ido not care about EagleMountain. After brieflyexplaining the circumstancesand the complete story to theseresidents - not just the portionfrom the recent letter, theseconcerned citizens have askedthat I make the same informa-tion available for all the publicto see. I have been very clearon this matter any time I havebeen asked - including the twomayoral debates.

There is a lot of historyrelated to this matter, but suf-fice it to say, a group ofneighbors gathered out of frus-tration with the city adminis-tration regarding their con-cerns over utilities, SID's, and otherissues. Many attempts were made tosolve these problems, but to no avail.

In February 2000, after muchresearch, the group started to explorethe option of disconnecting from thecity. I was supportive of their legalright to explore such an option.

I, like any person, weighed the prosand cons of the researched informa-tion. Based on my research, I advocat-ed that such a disconnect would not behealthy for the city nor its residents. Inspite of sympathizing with the group's

issues and concerns, I still could notagree with pursuing such a disconnect.

A disconnect petition was sent outafter I had expressed my disapprovalof such a measure. This petitionincluded my name in a manner thatwas a surprise to me. I responded withthe following letter (right) correctingthe error and respectfully expressingmy reasons against disconnecting.

Anyone wishing to discuss thismatter further is welcome to call meat 789-3111. Otherwise, I thank youall for your support and I look for-ward to Tuesday!

Kelvin BaileyCandidate for Mayor of Eagle Mountain“The Voice of the People”

March 2000

To All Residents of The Ranches:

I Resign….

"I hereby officially resign my position as an adult. I have held this position for a long time, andit no longer interests me. I have accepted a productive and fulfilling position as a five-year old,an exciting job which I once briefly held, but which I excelled at."

A statement that we all sometimes would like to be able to make; however it is not reality. Beinginvolved in politics is a difficult task, yet necessary to each of us if we are to have any controlover our destinies.

My name is Kelvin Bailey and I have been involved with the Citizens Committee in the recent 2months simply because I was against the City of Eagle Mountain being in the utility business andthis committee had other individuals with similar feelings. The reasons were varied, but theywere united in that desire.

I have been and will continue to seek a viably economic solution to present to the city that wouldmake it possible for the city to be able to sell off the utility business at a profit. Of course, uponpresenting this solution it would still be necessary to allow all the citizens in the Ranches and theCity Center to have a referendum to vote on alternative A or B, A, which would be the city keep-ing the utility systems and alternative B, which would be to sell the utilities and get out of thedebt and the financial risk involved in them. At this time I will not elaborate on the pros or consto either, but would be happy to discuss them with anyone. My phone number is 766-3111.

The purpose of this letter is to let everyone know, even though my name appears on the petitionto disconnect from the City of Eagle Mountain and to form a new city that I am not in favor of it.I have stated in the beginning that I didn't feel disconnect was the best choice and I still felt thatway. I can't deny at the same time that there were times in this process that, I too, felt like per-haps the only way to solve the problem was to disconnect. However, upon saying that, I feel thatevery one has the right to vote for it if they desire to do so, for that is the political process wehave established in this country so as to avoid the wars we see all around us in the world.

My understanding was that my name was to be put on a list so that anyone could ask me aboutwhat the pros and cons of disconnecting would be and what would be involved in doing so. Ididn't realize that it was to be on the actual petition, it was a simple mistake with no mal-intenton the part of anyone and I hold no one responsible for this accident, but myself. However, bybeing on a list of individuals to call, I had hoped to be able to give factual information availableso that every one could make up their own minds as to what they would prefer to do. I still main-tain my desire to offer a solution to the city to get out of the utility business. If that fails tomature then I don't have much choice but to accept the current situation and the consequencesthat come with it, whether desirable or not.

My greater concern now is not whether we disconnect or get out of the utility business, but howdo we unite as a group of citizens and neighbors without harboring ill will towards one another.How do we repair the damage in our relationships with our neighbors? We may not be at physi-cal war; however, a political war can be just as devastating and tragic. I think we all need to takea step back and ask ourselves what is this war of words really worth to us and are we willing toaccept the consequences of it? Pride has a tendency to get in the way of our views no matterwhich side of the issue we are on; however, is our pride worth destroying our community and ourfriendships? Having a difference of opinion is good and healthy in our society, but it is not whenthose differences divides us and tear us apart. Do we want this to occur to our community? Isuggest we all stop and think long and hard on it, no matter what side we wish to be on. There isno side that is good or evil here, only two opposing views; however, the actions that either sidetakes to support its views can result in good or bad for our community and ourselves. What real-ly makes a community good is not the taxes it pays or doesn't pay, not the utilities it has or does-n't have, but rather the unity and the neighborly love that exist between one another. We need toremember that there are many cities that don't have utilities and do very well, just as there arecities that do well that have them.

Letters to the EditorReturned Campaign contribu-tions

It has come to my attention thatthere is a question of a campaigndonation that Eagle MountainProperties made to certain candi-dates. This letter is for clarificationof the matter.

During the recent weeks, therewere three candidates who made aspecial effort to contact JohnWalden, owner of Eagle MountainProperties, and seek his views andposition on some of the more heat-ed issues of this election. We, atEagle Mountain Properties, andespecially Mr. Walden, appreciatedtheir interest in seeking our side ofthe story.

In response to their courtesy,Eagle Mountain Properties chose tocontribute a modest sum of $250 toeach of the campaigns of MarkMadsen, Linn Strouse and KelvinBailey. The contribution was deliv-ered to each of them in EMPlabeled envelopes. These envelopeswere quickly returned to us withouthaving been opened. Apparently,the candidates did not even see thecontents, and each chose to returnthe contribution.

Since Eric Jones, from EMP,arranged for the donations, and hewas the one who received theunopened envelopes, I wasunaware that the donations hadbeen rejected (Eric has been out ofstate). These candidates apparentlydid not want to receive contribu-tions from the developer. Instead,they asked that EMP donate themoney toward a 'unification' partyfor the entire city, after the election- regardless of the election out-come. We will be glad to re-donatethe money for this cause, as wehave been willing to in the past forother community building causes

such as Easter Egg hunts, PonyExpress Days, Library funding,Fire Department causes, and Morcosubsidies just to name a few.

We have heard that there aresome who are concerned that theserejected donations were not report-ed on the candidates' campaign dis-closure forms. Because they didnot accept the donations, there isobviously nothing to report. Ifsomeone were NOT to know theabove facts, this would have been avalid concern.

These candidates showed thehighest degree of integrity byreturning the funds if they were notcomfortable with such contribu-tions. I hope that our attempt todonate to their causes will do themno harm.

We look forward to the celebra-tion of our city next weekSaturday!

Respectfully,Michael S. WrenEagle Mountain Properties

Regarding the state of our cur-rent city election

At church recently the adultswere assembled and told of ourchurch leaders' concern over con-tentions among certain individualsin our community, contentions thathad escalated to cursing and threatsof violence. This most uncivilbehavior stemmed from differencesof opinion over local civil matters.

Before moving to Utah, Iworked in the Washington, D.C.political arena fifteen years.Nowhere do people hold their con-victions about government andcivil issues more passionately thanin the nation's capitol.Nevertheless, not once in fifteenyears did our ecclesiastical leaders

have to tell us not to curse or threat-en our fellow men. I was disap-pointed and dismayed to learn whatwas happening in Eagle Mountain.

Uncivil behavior takes manyforms and harms our community inmany ways. Can we be surprisedwhen a child demonstrates antiso-cial behavior after observing famil-iar adults modeling such behavior?There has been much discussion ofEagle Mountain's negative image;the part played by critical com-ments from, and negative attitudesamong, its citizens is undeniable.Government officials who demo-nize and disrespect developers havehurt development in our city. Theacts of terrorist barbarity wroughton our nation September 11, is anextreme example of this uncivilmindset.

Public office holders cannot passa law that forces people to behavecivilly. But office holders andthose running for office can set apositive tone. There is a conven-tional wisdom in politics: "Whenyou know you can't win on theissues, make personal attacks onyour opponent." This maxim hassadly been invoked in the currentcampaign. Claiming to "love EagleMountain" is hollow if one behavesuncivilly toward another candidate.

Soon Eagle Mountain's electionswill be over. We will face the chal-lenge of healing the wounds thatare the legacy of incivility. InEagle Mountain we all sink orswim together, to succeed togetherwe must change course and riseabove past behaviors.

Perhaps it would help to remem-ber that elected officials are notinfallible. No mantle of omnis-cience descends upon a person aftertaking the oath of office. The besta Mayor or City Councilperson can

do is to kneel humbly before HisCreator and seek the wisdom toserve his community. Civility willcome to Eagle Mountain whenarrogance does not characterizeelected officials.

There is always a good chancethat government will get it wrong,that's why the scope of governmentpower is limited. Government ischallenging, but it is not rocket sci-ence, it is the people's business andcertainly within their easy compre-hension. The challenge is gettingcitizens involved in the decisionmaking process, then in balancingcompeting interests and applyingsound principles. Civility willcome to Eagle Mountain when thecitizenry becomes informed andengaged, and government actionsreflect sound principles.

We are teaching our three-year-old daughter that tantrums areunproductive. The true test of aperson's character is not their con-duct when they're winning or get-ting everything they want; it's theirbehavior when they don't get theirway. In order for our political sys-tem to function at the national orcity level, the people must respectthe system, even if they don't likethe outcome. Civility will come toEagle Mountain when leaders leadwith a positive example and adultsstart acting like adults.

- Mark Madsen

Eagle Mountain as a community

It seems like yesterday that mywife, Kimberly, and I stood over-looking the almost empty areawhere my home now stands. Mychildren looked uneasy and uponinquiry stated that they did not likethe idea of moving to this place.

Their comments included com-plaints like: "I have to find newfriends.", "The nearest McDonald'sis forever away." and "We live outin the 'boonies'." Kimberly and Idecided that the investment wouldbe worth it. I can tell you that it hasbeen worth it.

We, my family and I, love thearea that we live in and appreciatethe neighbors that we have. Ourcommunity is a safe appealingplace.

Our City has problems. WhatCity doesn't? Growth pains areexpected in a newly incorporatedmunicipality. Even though there areserious issues that need to be dealtwith here in Eagle Mountain, thereare always ways to make changesfor the better. The very nature ofthe democratic system is that thereis always a way to improve. Thatfact gives me hope for our future.

We all share an investment in thefuture of this area. We will be thebenefactors of its continued growthand expansion. However, withthose benefits come specific dutiesto do our part in creating an envi-ronment of positivity. Our CityCouncil needs more than everactive citizens who are willing tovolunteer their views and opinionsas well as perhaps their time. Thishelps to foster a strong sense ofcommunity. We need a strong senseof community in order to effective-ly maintain the foundation for cul-ture that has been built in this place.We need that same sense of com-munity to help guide our officialsto build upon that foundation.

I believe that this area is a"Heavenly Place". We, as citizens,all have an equal interest in seeingthat Eagle Mountain is truly that,for us and our children.

Political CoalitionsBy Alicia Hill

It's down to the last few daysbefore the election and few unan-swered questions remain. One thatmay be plaguing many is, how didthe coalitions come about? Out ofthe remaining eight candidates foreither mayor or city council, sevenare part of "political groups."

Greg Kehl, Chris Kofoed,Darrin Brandt and Diane Jacobcame together quite recently. Theydon't really consider it a coalitionbut "grouped up" because of theircommon goals and interests. Kehlstates their group, which is madeup of veterans or old-timers ofEagle Mountain, is very knowl-edgeable about the city, where ithas come from and where itshould be heading. That back-ground, coupled with a strongdesire to serve the community,brought them together.

Each member has differentplatforms that they've stood firmon. Kehl believes that each mem-ber has strong areas to bring to thetable. Kofoed, a schoolteacher,centers on youth issues. Beingable to work with Alpine SchoolDistrict, he could help get somemuch-needed schools. Brandt, aPR person could present EagleMountain in the highest light.Jacob, having been on the plan-ning commission, knows aboutdeveloping and the issues the cityis involved in. Kehl has been thecouncilman over utilities, with anunderstanding of development.

Kehl believes that their truthful

approach may have cost somevotes, but believes residents needto be told the truth. They feel thatthe fact that they live in four sepa-rate areas of the city, two in thesouth and two in the north, helpswith diversity and unification andsets them apart from the othercoalition.

"This is the most importantelection Eagle Mountain will everhave," Kehl stated. "We're at acalming period in which a counciland a mayor can focus and do thethings the people would like to seedone. People will never under-stand how much has been accom-plished in the last two years andwe've got no where else to go butup, and that's what I look forwardto."

Kelvin Bailey, Linn Strouseand Issac Ha'o have been unitedsince the beginning. This coalitionwas formed for a couple of rea-sons. Bailey knew some of thecandidates and shared commonthreads with them--mainly thefeeling that the voice of the peopleshould be heard.

The second reason was no morethan a party affiliation. Theywanted people to know upfrontthat they supported each other andworked well together and didn'twant to do it behind closed doors.They wanted a broad base ofexperiences in different things sothat they could represent all facetsof the community.

As a team, it saved time and

Lack of HOA fees one of biggest concerns with proposed recreation center

By Shelley Colton

The pros of the pro-posed recreation centercan be narrowed downto two major issues. Oneis that a recreation cen-ter would serve the com-munity by providingrecreational and physi-cal fitness facilities. Forparents of young chil-dren, a swimming poolin particular seems to bethe most tantalizing fea-ture, though many resi-dents feel that theywould utilize other outlets as well,whether they be ball courts orexercise equipment.

The other is the hope that theproposed recreation center wouldbe the first in a snowball effect toincrease land value and enticefuture residents to The Ranches. Itwould encourage new homebuy-ers as well as make it easier to sellexisting homes.

The cons of the proposed recre-ation center come in severalforms. The most prominent issueis that of money. There is morethan one proposal for the recre-ation center, each having similari-ties and differences with the oth-ers. One proposal would call foran increased mandatory fee perhousehold, averaging about $15 amonth.

For convenience in paymentfrom residents, and also to moreeasily receive a loan to commencebuilding the recreation center, thefee would be paid along with cur-rent homeowner's association(HOA) bills. It is, however, a sep-arate account that would be kept

in a "slush fund," or escrow, toinsure that deadlines for the recre-ation center are met.

By categorizing the extra $15 amonth along with HOA monies,the builder could reduce overhead,abolish the need for advertising,and not have to set up a newbilling department.

Residents willing to payincreased fees, if need be, regard-less of specifics in proposals atthis point in time, were adamant ata recent HOA meeting that theeventual builder put into the build-ing contract(s) specific dates fordeadlines. Interesting to many isthat a majority of those willing topay increased fees are also thosealready consistently paying theirHOA fees.

Other concerns vary andinclude those of personal nature:citizens who feel they wouldnever utilize the recreation centerin any way, yet would still berequired to pay increased fees;those who feel they cannot affordeven current fees; or those whoworry about the way increasedfees would be utilized because

they don't trust the waycurrent fees are beingused already.

One underlyingconcern leading to newrecreation center pro-posals in the first placeis the number ofRanches residents notpaying the mandatoryHOA fees. Residentswere told at an HOAmeeting October 17that there is a 20-40percent default rate.Under such circum-stances, residents were

told that current recreation centerproposals are presently the bestavailable options.

Some attending residentsadmitted that they do not pay theirfees because of their discontentwith The Ranches administration.Others admitted they don't paybecause they cannot afford it.Others have not paid because theywere not billed by The Ranchesoffice and this bothers them. Also,some residents who do pay theirfees have said that they, too, haveexperienced disappointments,both personal and community-ori-ented, and yet they still pay theirfees.

Residents who do pay their feesfeel that they are carrying the bur-den of those who do not. AllRanches residents were to havesigned an agreement that was notcontingent upon anything, evenpromises or rumors of what wassupposed to be done by a certaintime by The Ranches.Additionally, in the CC& R's,

Have you ever had an incidentdriving on the roads of EagleMountain that really frustratedand annoyed you? If you have,you are certainly not alone.Recently, there have been aplethora of complaints concerningthe driving habits of motorists onour roads. The grievances rangefrom distracted or thoughtlessdriving to downright rude drivingbehavior.

When bad conduct on the partof drivers runs rampant in ourtown, we must consider the ques-tion of when "irritating" drivinghabits turn into "deadly" drivinghabits. That line is very thin, evennon-existent in most cases,because someone with bad drivinghabits can instantaneously turninto a lethal killing machine.

The range of reported frustra-tions include people slowlypulling into 65 mile per houroncoming traffic, people driving10 or 20 mph below the postedspeed limit, people passing otherson the double yellow line and peo-ple speeding in residential areas.All of these examples are not onlybothersome, but dangerous aswell.

Eagle Mountain resident BrettFinley states, "Every morning onthe way to work, it never fails thatsomeone has the need to pull outin front of me while I am going65-70 mph (on SR-73). One morn-ing was strange because no onewas behind me and this personcould have waited another fiveseconds and not had to pull out infront of me. I have had times thatI had to slam on the brakes andpull to the side."

Brett Ricks echoes Finley's sen-timents. "This morning as I drovealong at 70 mph, someone pulledout in front of me. The part that

really irked me, though, was thathe had the nerve to tap his breakswhen I was about 100 feet behindhim still becausehe felt I was com-ing up on him toofast. Well, if youdon't like peopleapproaching you at70 mph whileyou're doing 30mph, then wait forthem to go bybefore pulling out.This same guydrove 50 mph untilthe passing lane,then as I passedhim, sped up to 75mph. "

There have beenother reports of people speedingup when they are being passed.Eagle Mountain resident CarolinaHerrins says, "It is not funny tospeed up when you are beingpassed. Not only is it not funny,but also not safe." Deputy JoMurphy told the Interactive that ifthere were enough witnesses anddetailed information concerningthe incident, the person speedingup, not allowing for "safe pas-sage," could be issued a citationfor "creating hazardous condi-tions."

Passing vehicles on the doubleyellow line is extremely danger-ous, but Eagle Mountain residentAaron Stone has seen it too manytimes. He states that there are,"cars from somewhere past theRanches entrance that feel obligat-ed to pass when I'm going 65 mphon a double yellow line goinguphill." It is only a matter of timebefore this type of driving causesa serious accident.

Driving under the posted speedlimit also seems to be a problem.Deputy Murphy says that it is ille-gal to go more that 20 mph under

the posted speed limit. It is "haz-ardous" and "obstructs traffic."Eagle Mountain resident Ruth

Brandt says of her experience,"One thing that is really amazingto me is when people go 10 to 20mph under the speed limit, all theway from theRanches downthe hill."

A n o t h e rE a g l eMountain res-ident DanB u r t o nnoticed this aswell. Hestates, "Whatreally bugs meis the peoplethat drive 10-20mph belowthe speed limiton the high-way are thesame peoplethat drive20mph abovethe speed limitin the subdivi-sions."

Speeding inr e s i d e n t i a lareas is one of

the most common and dangerousinfractions occurring in EagleMountain. Dan Burton continues

with his analysis ofhis observations,"Slow down in theresidential areas! It isjust not worth hittinga child. And if thelives of children isnot a good enoughreason, how abouthaving some overzealous lawyer putthe rest of your finan-cial future in ruins."

Eagle Mountainresident CraigErickson agrees. "Asfar as speeding in res-idential areas, I have

no tolerance for that! I get verynervous every time I see thisbecause if they don't slow down,it's just a matter of time till some-

one is hurt or killed." In somepeople's hurry to make up for losttime because they have left thehouse late, they could become theinstrument of death for a fellowhuman being. It is simply notworth the risk.

Deputy Murphy says that if youwitness someone speeding in resi-dential areas or committing othertraffic violations, write down theirlicense plate number accurately(she says many people get thewrong license plate number).Also, get a description of the carand a description of the driver. Inorder to validate your accusation,you must be willing appear incourt before a judge.

Deputy Murphy stated manypeople complain to her when shepulls them over for speeding.

which every homebuyer agreed toabide by, the HOA policies werestated. Many residents did notread these and/or did not under-stand what they read, but didn'task questions. Thus, one level ofmiscommunication arose.

However, there is also anunderlying issue of communica-tion failure at the level of thehomebuilder. Some residentscomplained at the HOA meetingthat they were not informed aboutHOA fees until they received abill in the mail. At least 60 percentof Ranches residents were toldwhat they should have been, andthe power of "my word is mybond" still exists. They simplypay their fees because they agreedto do so. For those consideringpaying their unpaid fees, manyresidents have reported that TheRanches is easy to work with infinancial matters. Payments canbe made monthly, bi-yearly, quar-terly, or however is most conven-ient.

As stated on a handout given atthe recent HOA meeting, HOAfees do not pay for "1. Installation& construction of anything. 2.Street lights installation and main-tenance. 3. Fence installation. 4.Contractors problems, tear outs &replacements."

HOA fees do pay for "1.Maintenance 'only' of all land-scaped areas in The Ranches thathave been completed and accept-ed by the HOA. 2. Watering of allof the above. 3. Maintenance &repair of all fencing & trail sys-tems in The Ranches, which havebeen completed and accepted bythe HOA. Currently a total ofapproximately 1,037,000 square

feet of landscaping and by midyear 2002 [The Ranches HOA]expects this figure to be around2,000,000 square feet. 4.Management of HOA (i.e. threefull time employees, two part timeemployees, billing and postage,enforcement of CC&R and designguidelines, paper and overhead.)5. Miscellaneous items such as:rental of equipment, power billsfor sprinklers, attorney fees, etc." Non-paying residents who with-hold HOA dues because their"parks have not gone in" or their"walking trails aren't done ontime," have failed to understandthat these issues are totally unre-lated to HOA fees. To summarize(please see related chart), items 1-3 are about 5/8 of the budget, item4 is about 2/3 of the budget, anditem 5 is less than 1/32 of thebudget.

Yet another issue is that manyresidents who pay HOA fees (orwho should be doing so) are tech-nically not an independent associ-ation, as of yet. The Ranches stillowns the majority of the land insome areas, and as stated in theCC&R's, these homeowners willnot be a true HOA until home-owners actually own a majority ofthe land. Until then, The Ranchesprotects their large investment byseeing fit to have five employeesto take care of business.

Some non-paying residentswithhold their HOA paymentsbecause they want some leveragewith The Ranches administration.The Ranches has a much largerstake in the investment that eachhomebuyer also bought into. As asingle homeowner, the stakes area lot smaller.

The Ranches has many dollars

Locals grow giant pumpkin

By Hillary Hall

Thomas and Kelly Johnson of theSundance neighborhood in theRanches have done the seeminglyimpossible. They have grown a suc-cessful garden in the clay-based soilof Eagle Mountain. And they've got atwo feet tall pumpkin sitting on theirfront porch to prove it. "We are notexpert gardeners," says KellyJohnson. "We are very amazed at oursuccess."

Not only have the Johnson's growngiant pumpkins this year, but theircrops of onions, carrots and broccolihave done great as well. "We hadonions the size of softballs and can-taloupes," boasts Johnson. All theneighborhood would-be-gardeners arein shock at their success. Everyonewants to know, how did they do it?

Johnson explains that most garden-

ers should not get dis-couraged out here inEagle Mountain.Working the soil isjust going to takemore work than itwould in otherregions. In their firstgardening attempt lastyear, they were notable to harvest muchat all. So, they feelextremely fortunate toreap some rewards oftheir hard work thistime around. "We fig-ure we'll have reallygood garden soil in

about five years!" says Johnson.Here are some garden tips that the

Johnsons have to share.· Throw food scraps on the gardenplot all year round. Just make sure notto use any meat scraps. Occasionally,turn the soil to incorporate the scrapsinto the soil.· A great additive is human mulchfrom Timpanogos Waste District inAmerican Fork. As unappetizing as itsounds, it works. · Keep the garden weed free--don'tlet your plants get choked. · Turn the soil under with shovels inthe fall and spring and your garden'ssoil will improve with time. · Gypsum, bought in a bag at a homeimprovement store, can also improveyour garden soil.· Build a well around each plant tokeep water in place. If not, watering

will be much less effective, especiallyif your garden is on a slope.

Johnson says that they are nowstarting to see earthworms and otherhelpful insects in their soil, whichwere not there when they moved in ayear and a half ago. A little extra effortand diligence has definitely paid offfor this family.When asked what she plans to do withthe pumpkin, Kelly says she will cookit and freeze pumpkin puree. It's a lit-tle too big to carve. Here is a greatrecipe for pumpkin squares that sheshared. With a pumpkin like theJohnson's, you can make enough tofeed a crowd.

Tracy & Julie Grover transform their home into a ‘Halloween Haven” each year. This year was noexception with nearly a hundred pumpkins carved by children and skilled adults. The display will betaken down soon. You can see the display in The Landing Subdivision in the City Center.

They say to her, "Why aren't youout catching the real criminals,like the murderers." She says shemust explain that percentage wisethere are far more deaths causedby speeding each year than byhomicide. She says that "peoplejust don't realize what a dangerousweapon their vehicle can become.Cars are far more dangerous thanguns, yet we have a feeling ofsafety when we are in our carswhich causes us to be negligent."

Deputy Jo Murphy also statedthat there have already been inci-dents of "reckless driving" and"road rage" here in EagleMountain. This is a sad commen-

tary on us as a community. Weneed to be more mindful of ourdriving habits. Let us stay calm,cool and collected, so that we donot end up hurting anyone.Irritating each other is badenough, but killing each otherwould be the worst thing imagina-ble.

Our motor vehicles are power-ful tools for both good and bad.We love that they give us mobilityand speed, but used in the wrongway, they can turn us into felonsand killers. Driving carefully,courteously, and safely are thebest ways to ensure that we do notcontinue to have "danger on theroads" here in our beloved homeof Eagle Mountain.

Tony Langford, better knownaround these parts as "The JerkyGuy," has had quite an excitinglife, and he's got the scars to proveit.

Raised in Spanish Fork andlater playing basketball and tennisfor Utah State University, he'slived all over Utah. In the late 50s,just after the Korean War, whilepatrolling the Formosa Straits inKorea, Tony was shot. Shrapneltook out both of his knees.Replaced by metal ones, he latercontracted a staff infection in oneof his knees and was left with nochoice but to have it amputated. In 1964 while working at GenevaSteel, Tony was traveling throughSpringville with his wife and threechildren and was struck by a train.

His wife and two of his childrenwere killed. Langford and his two-year-old daughter survived.

While healing from theamputation, Tony Langfordmoved up to Strawberry and met aman that sold jerky. After decidingthat it would be a great way togive him something to do, he setup shop. He's been on the southerncorner of SR-73 and RedwoodRoad for seven years now anddoesn't plan on going anywhereanytime soon. He's generally athis corner every weekendthroughout the entire year. Headmits that business has beenmore difficult because of thenewly expanded road; it's harderfor cars to get across to stop. Hegets a number of his customers onmilitary drill weekends, as well ascops from the training facility.

Even with so many hardshipsin his past and present situation,Tony keeps an upbeat positiveattitude towards everything, agreat example to all of us.

Because Tony uses the bestcuts of meat sold at "Tony's KillerJerky," you're very likely to havethe best jerky you've ever tasted--beef, buffalo, and elk meat cookedcompletely in a smoke house,never in a dehydrator. That, com-bined with flavors to suite every-one--including hot, natural, pep-per and teriyaki (a personalfavorite)--you won't be able to getenough.

Stop by Tony's stand for afree sample. For more informa-tion, call 1-888-556-3030 andcheck out his site at www.bmdjerky.com. You won'tregret it.

The Jerky GuyJust Ask Me…By Alicia Hill

Q: The only good thing about thecolder weather is that the flies willfinally stay away! But just won-dering, why do flies buzz, espe-cially in my ear! My own theory isthat they are ticked off that I havejust killed off their friends andfamily members, but is there a sci-entific explana-tion? And do allflies have thecapability tobuzz or just cer-tain sizes orspecies?

A: Boy this wasa tough one; thisis all of theinformation Icould find.

Fly is thecommon namefor members ofan order of two-winged insects, the best known ofwhich are the housefly and mos-quitoes. If you didn't realize thatmosquitoes were flies, I'm rightthere beside you. I had no idea. The buzzing of a fly is the soundof its wings beating. Not all fliesbuzz. A housefly's wings beatabout 200 times a second. Thefaster the wings the more theybuzz. The housefly typically humsat a middle octave key F.

The common housefly (Muscadomestica) is a nuisance, as wellas being a carrier of disease toman and domestic animals. In justtwo weeks, one fly may lay morethan 1000 eggs in animal excre-

ment, garbage, kitchen refuse,piled lawn clippings, or otherdecomposing plant and animalmatter. In warm weather, the lifecycle (egg to adult) usually takesabout eight days. Warm or pro-tected environments may permitfly production year round.

Besides the grayish-blackhousefly, several other kinds of

flies are alsofound in thehome. Thebiggest dangerof flies is thatthey carry dis-eases such as:T y p h o i d ,Anthrax (as ifthere's notenough problemwith this one asit is), Cholera,and Dysentery. The best way tokeep flies awayis simply to san-

itize. Make sure trash is emptiedat least twice a week. Make sureany outside garbage cans are freefrom holes and the lids should fiton tightly. Wash cans out andspray with an anti-bacterial clean-er. Inside, make sure all countersand sinks are scrubbed down withno left over traces of food on themthat the flies can infest.

As hard as it is to believe, fliesdo have a purpose. They help indecomposing, are a vital part ofthe food chain and they carrypollen to plants.

I'd love to answer your ques-tions on any subjects, email themto me, Alicia@emutah.com.

Welcome to week 27 of TechRelief. Last week, we learned howto go do research on the Internetfor things we would like to buy.Next week, we'll talk about some-thing else really nerdy and fun.But, this week we're going to findsome easter eggs.

It's Easter Already? I've been way too serious

lately, and it's time to change allthat. This week's lesson deals witheaster eggs (notice the lowercase"easter"). The great thing is thatyou don't have to wait until Aprilto go easter egg hunting: you canlook for them any time you wantin your computer.

No, that is not why your com-puter smells kind of funny nowthat it is about November; so don'ttry opening the computer case tofind what the bunny left there. Theonly things you're likely to findare little dust bunnies.

These easter eggs are little"surprises" that computer pro-grammers have put into your com-puter, along with the computerprogram they created. Usually,these little eggs are nothing morethan hidden windows that listeveryone who worked on the proj-ect. Other times, the eggs havesome fun little graphics about theteam, their friends, or the compa-ny they work for.

Anyway, they are kind of funto find, and they are a great way torelax and have fun at the comput-er, so go ahead and try them out!But note that you have to have theprogram installed on your com-puter, or else you won't find theeaster egg.

The Interactive movie reviewK-PAXKevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges PG-13

K-PAX is the story of Prot(Spacey), who claims to be from aplanet called K-PAX. After beingpicked up off the street aftermiraculously appearing, he isadmitted to the PsychiatricInstitute of Manhattan, a mentalhospital where his psychiatrist,Dr. Mark Powell (Bridges) is baf-fled by this man's demeanor. Dr.Powell also has been treatingother ill patients: Howie (DavidPatrick Kelly), an obsessive com-pulsive; Ernie (Saul Williams),who's fearful of germs; Sal (PeterGerety), who believes everythingstinks; and Mrs. Archer (CeliaWeston), who doesn't come out ofher room.

Prot, out of all of Dr. Powell'spatients, is the most fascinatingfor him. Dr. Powell questionswhether Prot is from K-PAX or ifhe is just some misguidedderanged soul who is severely ill.The evidence proves otherwise asProt seems to be who he says heis, a member of a society thatexists on a distant planet some onethousand light years away.

Mark tries to figure out whatwould cause such an elaboratedelusional state. As the doctortries probing Prot for answers, hemust put up with the patient'samused responses, as well asdoubts from his associates, includ-ing Claudia Villars (AlfreWoodard), about his early diagno-sis and plan for further investiga-

tion. Meanwhile, Mark becomes

so obsessed in helping Prot heneglects his own family whichcauses problems for his wife,Rachel (Mary McCormack) whocares for their kids. Ultimately,Mark has little time left beforeProt's announced departure to fig-ure out if he's simply delusional orreally is a visiting alien fromanother planet.

Of all the Halloween movies,this was the most interesting andthought provoking. There is quitea bit of humor in this film, partic-ularly when Prot observes the waywe use language. The exchangebetween Kevin Spacey and Jeffbridges is exquisite. It's fun, butdoesn't get more serious as thefilm goes on. It's also exciting--exciting as we race with Mark andtime to find out if Prot is really analien or if he is delusional.

The film's central message isabout family and enjoying thetime you have. On one hand, wehave the overworking father andhusband who is constantlyneglecting his family and scaredof his son from his first marriage.On the other, we have Prot and theother mental patients and what welearn about them is also interest-ing in what a man, woman or alienwill do for themselves or theirfamily. The scenes at the institutebetween patients is marvelous asProt gives them hope and under-standing. However, the endingwill either make you mad or makeyou scream.

The film is rated PG-13.There is no nudity at all. Profanityconsists of at least one use of the"f" word in a regression hypnosisscene, while other expletives andmetaphorical phrases are used.There is a mildly bloody scene inthe movie which may cause someviewers some distress. Althoughrated PG-13, I caution parents thatthis movie is for viewers 16 andolder. You may want to see it first,to see if the kids might enjoy it. Overall Rating: 4.5 of 5 Stars

Video Review: The Insider

The Insider pre-miered on the silverscreen in 1999 with criti-cal accolades--by year'send, this film was nomi-nated for numerousAcademy and GoldenGlobe awards. Riveting inits cinematography, directing, act-ing and basis in fact, I find it sur-prising how many people havenever seen, let alone heard of, TheInsider. It is, by all definitions ofthe word, a "must-see."

The Insider tells the story ofJeffrey Wigand (played by thethen up-and-coming actor, RussellCrowe), a tobacco industry execu-tive who reveals incriminatingevidence about his formeremployer, Brown & WilliamsonTobacco Corp., in an interviewwith CBS' 60 Minutes. Wigand'sinterview leads to the avalancheof government litigation againsttobacco companies that began inthe mid-90's and continues to thisday.

To be sure, director and co-screenwriter Michael Mann takesconsiderable license in his por-trayal of Mike Wallace(Christopher Plummer), Wigand,and "60 Minutes" producerLowell Bergman (Al Pacino). Byhis own admission, Mann saysthat he wanted to delve deep intothe lives and minds of characters-to make viewers of this movie feelthe depth of emotion and conflictthat each character faces. Strictlygrounded in historical fact, thistask is nearly impossible, but withMann's poetic license we're givena glimpse into the emotional andphilosophical truth of this truestory.

This movie provides a shock-ing view of tobacco industry mar-keting practices that chills me tothe bone. Big tobacco isn't alonein its reprehensible behavior-strangely enough (or maybe not)60 Minutes stoops low, too. Afterthreats of lawsuits, CBS' execu-tives decide to shelve the inter-

view with JeffreyWigand. This infuri-ates producerBergman and nearlydrives Wigand tocommit suicide overthe futility of the per-sonal and professionalsacrifices he's made.In a particularly mem-orable scene,Bergman confronts

Mike Wallace: "He's only the key witness in

the biggest public health reformissue in U.S. history. Does he goon television to tell the truth? Yes.Is it newsworthy? Yes. Are wegoing to air it? Of course not.Why? Because he's not telling thetruth? No... because he is tellingthe truth and the more truth hetells, the worse it gets."

In the end, Wigand's sacrificetriumphs-the tobacco industry isbrought to its knees. Despite thissuccess, the real life JeffreyWigand, has this to say: "Whenwe think 'settlement' we think itmeans everything's settled. Thingsaren't all settled. The tobaccoindustry keeps on playing games... I think the film adds an extradimension that will bring backinto focus some events that arevery important for us to keep inmind."

As I said at the beginning ofthis review, The Insider is a"must-see." A five star. Grade A+.Two thumbs up. Need I go fur-ther? See it.

Candy Wrapper Canister

Halloween is over,but the remnants are stillpresent-candy wrap-pers that you find hereand there all overyour house. Nowyou can use thosewrappers to makea creative canisterto hold pencils ortrinkets. It's easyto make and won'ttake much time.

Besides thecandy wrappers,you will need acardboard snackcanister with a lid,such as an emptyPringles or raisinscontainer, to makeyour project. Youwill also need spraypaint, clear acrylicspray, a foam brushand decoupageglue. You can eitherpurchase this gluefrom any craft storeor you can makeyour own by mixingone part craft glue with one partwater. I also used a one and a half-inch wooden bead for the top ofmy canister.

Decide which wrappers youwant to use. I found that it wasmore difficult to use plastic orwaxed-covered wrappers becausethey didn't stick quite as easily aspaper ones. (I still used some plas-tic wrappers. Instead of using thedecoupage method explainedbelow to apply them, I used sprayglue. It worked well.)Cutout the parts of the wrappersthat you want to use (names, char-acters, etc.). Lay them out andsmooth them as much as possible.Loosely arrange them so you havean idea where you want themplaced before you start gluing.

Next, I spray painted the lidfor the canister. I also decided tospray paint my canister before Iglued any wrappers on it. It madegluing easier because I didn't haveto worry about covering everyspace with wrappers. If you alsochoose to paint your canister,make sure it is dry before you glueany wrappers on.

A different trick you can do tocover your canister instead ofpainting it is to use a backgroundpaper, such as a sack from a fast

food restaurant. Cut it to fit yourcanister and glue it on using afoam brush and glue. Smooth it inplace, working from the centeroutward.

Once your canister is ready,decoupage the wrappers on,using your foam brush to

apply a thin layer of glueto one area on it. Brushthe glue lightly until itpartially dries andbecomes tacky. Applywrappers to the gluedarea. Use your fingertips or acloth to smooth out anybubbles or wrinkles, start-ing in the center of themotif and working out-ward. Some wrinkles willdisappear as the gluedries. Use a damp cloth toremove any excess glue. Continue around yourcanister in this manner,gluing and covering onearea at a time. If youoverlap wrappers, put alittle glue on top of theones already in place.Then you can securelyput another one over it.After you have com-

pletely covered your canis-ter, allow it to dry completely.Finish it with two or three coats ofacrylic spray.

To complete the lid of yourcanister, take your wooden beadand paint it a color you feel willcompliment the color you paintedthe lid. I painted mine yellowsince I spray painted my canisterand lid green.

Use a black pen or marker todraw a face on your bead. Apply athin layer of acrylic spray also tothe bead and allow it to dry. Hotglue the bead to the center of yourcanister lid. If your canister willreceive a lot of use, you could alsosecure the bead onto the lid with asmall screw. With your bead inplace, your project is completed.

You can use this same candywrapper cover-up idea to decoratea supply box, for school suppliesor small toys, using an emptydetergent box, or to decorate athree-ring binder. Follow theinstructions above to decoupagethem and you have another easyway to use all the wrappers cur-rently littering your home.

“O” WeekYou know that "Oh no!" feeling

you get when it's too quietupstairs? One time it was aBarbie Jeep full of lotion.Another time it was Vaseline-coated bath-room fixtures.My personalfavorite was thetime when oneof my toddlerstried to helpwith dinner byemptying everybox of Jell-O,cake mix, andmuffin mix weowned into abig bowl, stir-ring well andthen makingindividual serv-ings by wrap-ping the mix upin tinfoil pack-ages and put-ting them in the fridge for futureuse, all during her naptime.

Today it was permanent markeron the comforter while I was put-ting the other kids to bed. I guessyou just can't get too attached tostuff when you're raising kids.For instance, two weeks after wemoved into our new house, every-body got the stomach flu andbroke in the new carpet. I some-times dream of the day when Iwill have a spotless house, but fornow my piano is engraved with, "Ilove Tara" and I don't need cur-tains on my French doors, becausethey're covered in peanut butterfingerprints. That's just the way itis. And I wouldn't want to miss itfor the world. In the meantime,we'll keep ourselves entertainedwith these activities for "OWeek":

· Talk about the meaning of theword occupation and then findpictures in a magazine of severaldifferent occupations. Set up sta-tions and pretend to work in someof the occupations, then talk aboutwhat the children want to be whenthey grow up.

· Put olives on all of your fingersand play 5 little monkeys or 10 lit-tle Indians with the olives. This isone of the two reasons that theymake olives, so don't miss thisactivity.

· Read a book about an octopus

(such as The Tickle Octopus orMy Very Own Octopus). Talkabout what fun things you coulddo with eight legs? Make up yourown story about an octopus, thenmake an octopus puppet byattaching legs (cut from materialscraps) to an old sock and drawing

a face on theend of the sock.Have fun actingout your story.

· Have yourown Olympics.Include run-ning, jumping,swinging, gym-nastics, andobstacle courseraces and makesure you giveout medals andsing the nation-al anthem (orthe favoritesong) of thewinner whilestanding on

platforms (or stools) of differentlevels.

· With construction paper, cut outthe ingredients for your own paperomelet; stir the eggs, mix in pep-pers, onions, ham, or whateverelse you want in your omelet.Then make a real omelet.

· Put together an orange collage bycutting objects that are orange outof magazines and gluing themonto orange paper.

· Listen to a recording of anorchestra and have the childrenlisten for the different instru-ments. Make several "instru-ments" and have your own orches-tra. Pretend to play to the record-ing with pretend instruments orthe ones you have made.

When you are teaching a newsound, it is a good idea to havesomething the child can associatethe sound with. For the letter A, itmight be an apple. For the letterO, we use the word 'opera', notbecause we've ever actually beento one or because we even reallyknow what they are, but it is fun tosing the short 'O' sound in anopera singer's voice at the top ofyour lungs. And yes, my poorchildren are subjected to this kindof punishment quite frequently.

HOA feesContinued from page 8

tied up in this investment- thesame investment that each home-owner is also concerned with. TheRanches and the homeowneressentially want the same thingsfrom a business standpoint. Aswith any investment, there havebeen unforeseen setbacks.

The payment of HOA fees hasbeen compared by some to theparable of The Little Red Hen.None of the other animals in thisparable wanted to do any of thework or donate anything to a loafof bread that Little Red Hen wastrying to bake. But once the loafwas warm out of the oven, eachanimal certainly wanted a thickbuttery slice. Many residents whowillingly pay their HOA feesexpress that they have come tosee the fortitude exhibited by TheRanches administration in theface of an infant city and a stag-gering undertaking. Though notall members of the communitysee things the same, will they notall be in line wanting their thick,hot slice once all the effort hasbeen made? There are places where communi-cation has broken down betweenthe residents of The Ranches andthe administration concerningHOA problems, i.e. billing mis-takes and not informing home-owners of progress and setbacks.Any other issues like manybrought up at the recent HOAmeeting, such as sinkholes onone's personal property, problemswith the paving or plowing ofroads, and the replacement ofburned-out street lights need to betaken up with either the city oreach resident's personal home-builder.

What are the setbacks andunforeseen events that havecaused so much discontent? Theanswers to each resident's person-al questions need to be answereddirectly by the administrators tobe sure that sources are correctand that opinions shaping impor-tant decisions are not built simplyon miscommunications or rumor.

Many residents have come tosee that the community needs topull together and be at the samelevel of understanding on issuesconcerning HOA fees. As theseissues are better understood, per-haps inspiring more, if not all,residents to pay their HOA fees, itcould lead to better options, evenin recreation center proposals,becoming available to the resi-dents.
