During Wednesday's Community Action Network meeting (similar to a chamber of commerce), featured speaker, County School Supt. Nils Bayles, along with four school board members met with 60 residents. Bayles said Kane County pays $127,000 more out of its school budget each year to make up the difference from what the state of Utah spends to educate 93 Big Water students by sending them to Page, Ariz. Two years ago, the Arizona school was only busing 44 Big Water students to Page.

Town Clerk Pat Lassen said Bayles was surprised to learn that instead of the 15 children he knew of attending home schools in Big Water, the number was actually three times that amount. Bayles had said a school in Big Water, would not seriously be con-sidererd until the number of children there warranted it. But after discussion with the crowd attending the meeting, it was realized there are enough children in town to present that alternative as a realistic and only option to educate the children, said Lassen. The audience suggested the school district begin construction on a small building that would handle the primary grades rather than pouring money into Arizona. He said another important consideration would be whether qualified teachers would be willing to come to Big Water to teach.

Town Attorney Elizabeth Joseph, attending the meeting, asked for a show of hands of people who are college educated. Lassen said there are four people living in Big Water who are teaching in Page schools and half a dozen out-of-work teachers available, "so there are more than enough teachers to get the school off the ground." In other business, the design of a newly created half ounce silver Big Water commemorative coin designed by Merle Graffam was displayed. Community Action Network (CAN) is asking for a $100 to buy into the project to mint the coin, said Lassen. The coin is being minted as a fundraising project and partly to commemorate the founding of the community and its participation as a bi-centennial community. "It is a unique opportunity for us to have our own commemorative coin that will be on the market and sold to coin collectors and others interested in collecting political memorabilia," said Lassen, "in the only Libertarian administered community in the United States." A show of hands revealed 17 CAN members who were prepared to come up with $100 for the project.

Lassen said CAN plans to advertise the coins on a national basis. For more information, contact CAN member Joanna Joseph. (from left) are Robert Barlow, Gale Garrett, Randy Merrill.

GEORGE Cost-conscious consumers gathered at Dixie College for another in the Consumer Update Series, Wednesday evening to hear Dr. Leona Windley. Windley, a USU Extension specialist, give advice on efficient kitchens designed to save not only dollars, but human energy as well. Windley present her ideas through visual aids, and noted the lifestyle of the users should dictate the design of the kitchen.

Windley stated today's kkthens are no longer just the domain of the housewife. More and more people are making the kitchen the multipurpose room. More males and children are using major applicances as more women are taking to the work force. The word "family" is now being defined in more broad terms, she noted. Family may mean two adults as dual providers with no children, single head of household families, or even one single person.

The kitchen is being designed to fit the needs of many individual lifestyles, but ease and efficiency attracts everyone, she said. Because the cost of energy has skyrocketed since the oil embargo, Windley said, the cost of a refrigerator may triple after its owner pays American States Home Improvements (801)266-1201 5585 So. 320 16-Unit 17, Murray Ut 84107 Specializing in Maintenance-Free Permanent Siding Reynolds Allsides Products Off Season Rates Now offered Free Estimates Lifetime Transferrable Warranty Financing Available Energy Saving Never Paint Again Added Beauty Call 673-7515 The Following Law Offices SIMOW JENSEN V.
