S h i m a n d f r i e s . . . F a v o r s n e w f i r e h a l l . . . The U. S . cattle industry is slowly developing a Japanese market, a t least it’a working hard to do so. Beaverhead County is certainly fulfilling a portion o f that market, through the Japanese-owned Zenshiku ranch operations. According to the National Cattlemen's Association, however, that market may work both ways. The Japanese plan to market “shimofuri,” the world's most expensive beef, in the United States, perhaps as early as Christmas, in American supermarkets. American beef producers have little to worry about from the new entry... unlike the early- day Honda’s and Toyota’s, low prices are not a.competitive factor. Shimofuri w ill sell from $45 to $165 per pound. What makes the Japanese shimofuri beef so expensive? I t is produced from the Japanese Waygu cattle, which are fed 20 months with a high-energy grain mixed with beer, and then the cattle are hand-massaged by their handlers. The end result is highly marbled and tender beef. • The Japaneseproducershaveinvested$500,000toconvertabeefprocessingplanttomeet U.S. health standards and the Japanese government has allocated $2.5 m illion for technical and marketing assistance. Obviously, shimofuri holds little major threat for American markets... and few o f us are goingto trot down to McDonalds for a B ig Shim and fries...just $99.99... b u t i t does represent a continuing assault on the American beef producer, and small as i t may be, points out the continuing problem American producers have had in developing new markets, both domestically and internationally. To the Editor: S p e c i a l t i m e . . . As a local business owner, land owner, and Beaverhead County Disaster and Emergency ServicesCoordinator, I would like to encourage the citizens of Dillon and Fire District *2 to vote for the proposed new fire h all and the proposed levy for its operation. As County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator, I am on a daily basis in contact with the emergency services personnel of our commu nity. In the case ofthe fire h a ll, I see a very great need for this structure and its proposed opera tion levy. We have been veiy fortunate that the city of Dillon has provided a fire h a ll and much of the operating costs for the existing fire hall. The existing fire h a ll is much too small for the equipment that the fire department now has .and response time is now slower than it should be because engines have to be shuffled around to get them out of the fire station. We have also been veiy fortunate that the 32 firemen and the fire department have been able to operate on veiy limited levies ofthe past and still maintain an excellent fire response. An area that is of great concern for our com munity is a hazardous materials accident In these type of accidents personnel, victim, and equipment can become contaminated with dan gerous substances. In the proposed fire h all a decontamination area will be built to decon taminate victim,' personnel, and equipment before more contamination takes place. For example, i f a victim were contaminated with a toxic chemical, after being stabilized, could be decontaminated a t the proposed fire h all before spreading the toxic substance to the ambulance and/or the hospital. In regard to some questions as to why the Grant fire h all is also incorporated in this fire hall election. Grant fire department is a fire department in the fire district #2 as is Dillon rural fire department and this is the taxing base for the proposed fire halls. They also have veiy active members and have purchased a lot of equipment through money-makers anddona- tions but they do not have a building for tM ir fire equipment, which especially in the winter time is critical. If you have any questions or concerns please contact any fireman. Invite them to speak a t your next community meetingand listen to their proposal. Larry Laknar D illon Halloween is a special time for youngsters, and Dillon youth are fortunate to be in a town that goes out o f its way to make i t extra fun. Not one, b u t a t least three, and maybe more, special Halloween parties are being planned for the evening. I t goes without saying, o f course, that Halloween requires special attention on the p art o f us drivers, too, to watch out for the little folk as they go on their trick or treat rounds. L o o k i n g a l i t t l e g r e e n e r . . . Downtown D illon is looking a little greener these days, thanks to the efforts of the Down town Beautification Committee. Headed by Dom Ori, with a lot o f help from committee members, and with volunteer efforts from the dty and many other individuals and businesses, neqrly 40 new trees have been planted in special concrete planters in the downtown district.

You’ll see the red ribboh&on a dress or coat. Y o u 'll see them, dozens o f them, hanging from a tree on Montana. Y o u ll see the red banner across the street, by E liel's. It's Red Ribbon Week in Dillon, as ih many places around the country. The ribbons stand to remind us of the nation's overwhelming drug problem... and of a ll of us helping our country's young people to get off drugs and into the mainstream o f life. Greta Chaffin and a crew o f helpers have worked hard to help get the word out, to youngsters and their parents alike, th a t the drug problem is not ju s t the province o f metro aras... b u t is a mqjor concern to smaUer communities, like Dillon, too.

Apparently Park Service Director, James Ridenour, bent to political pressure and asked Yellowstone Park officials to stop all educa tional programs concerning the re-introduction of wolves to Yellowstone. According to Park Service spokesman, George Berklacy, letters complaining about the wolf education materials had been sent by Sen. Conrad Burns and one other senator, whose name Ridenour could not recall. Such censorship tactics are becoming increas ingly common amongthose in the anti-conserva tionist ranks. Last month, Northwest loggers threatened an economic boycott and pressured several sponsors, including Stroh Breweries, to withdraw their advertising support of the Audubon television special \Ancient Forests: Rage Over Trees.” Fortunately, Ted Turner held principle above economic gain and was unwilling to bow to such strong arm tactics. Mr. Turner allowed the Audubon program to a ir on TBS a t his expense., and we should a ll thank him for such a selfless act, protecting the public’s right to know. We of Montana Audubon share that spirit of open communication, and we abhor the censor ship tactics that some would use to muzzle freedom of speech and the freedom to disagree. Teachers and service groups can now obtain copies of the Park Service wolf information packets or borrow copies of the Audubon Televi sion Specials by contacting the newly estab lished Montana Audubon Council office, P.O, Box 595, Helena, 59624; phone: 443-3949.
