It’s great entertainment when sipping coffee on these much cooler than norm, so-called spring mornings. My funny bone picked up on an item in last week’s G-T sheriff s report about a pair of chaps found near a residence on Hwy. 207. What did this pair look like? Were they scroungy hippy type or were those chaps really a cast-off cowboy garment? It so, maybe they resembled ones that had been drug through the bam lot too often or perhaps they were the colorful, fringed type belonging to a rodeo rider. Imagination is a precarious thing. And then there’s the one about the beaver with two broken legs. Was he given CPR and a life-support system while determining if he might be an endangered species? The hazards of country driving are a risk for both animals and humans. Especially when you crack your bones while driving over broken chunks of county road pavement. Potholes are only a minor speed bump. However the county court minutes relate that due to a shortage of road funds some of the lesser-traveled paved roads should be turned back to gravel. It appears that many roads are already turning to a primitive state. Every farmer knows that in addition to grading roads on rare occa sions grader ditches properly maintained help keep roads from eroding—a practice not closely adhered to by the county. Before warmer weather allows for patching, the risk of accidents and lots of flat tires could be reduced if some of these hazardous chunks of pavement were swept from traffic lanes. Rural taxpayers feel that road maintenance is the only payback for their tax dollars. How about using public offenders for hand labor on roads as a community service? Maybe a few blisters would be a good lesson to prevent repeated misconduct. Another printed fallacy exists about the county tax levy. The levy asking is reduced, but there are no cost-cutting measures applied to the budget. The levy amount was lowered by reducing the ending fund balance—the amount normally reserved to fund services from July until November taxes are received. After July 1 will services then be axed? In the county levy information put out by the Extension Office it states that non-mandated general hind services totally funded by the county are Veterans Services, Fair and Rodeo, the Museum, Parks and Justice Court. The fair and rodeo fund receives .40 percent of the county tax dollar. So its budget is not totally funded by the county although funds are handled by the county accounting department. It’s said that the parks and the justice court are somewhat self-supporting, not totally funded by tax dollars. If the school fund now only gets .35 percent of the pie, instead of nearly half that they used to receive, how come the general fund tax dollars don’t cover a lot more than they used to? Because I now dread the short trip to town perhaps that’s one reason our road remains in sad shape. So if you don't hear from me again, look for me in the bottom of a large road crater mashed in by county equipment as they cruise by putting up tiny stakes. Word has been received of the death of Earl Steagall, 79, Butte Falls. Mr. Steagall died at his home on May 8.
