Russell, whose work is primarily located in public places, works in stainless steel, which he calls the perfect twentieth century metal due to its reflective surface and durability. Through the reflective surface of his sculptures, the environment becomes its own mirror image, thus unifying the sculpture and the environment. Russell has recently completed the polished stainless steel work for display on the west campus. He titled the work, "Champion," for the humans ability to rise above and compete with themselves. He speaks about life and his interpretation of it through his monumental stainless steel sculp- tures. Russell combines the skills of sculptor, engineer, and architect when he designs and installs his sculptures. He relies on his 25 years of extensive experience to create sculptures from foundation through installation. The sculptures range from wall reliefs and gallery to fountain and monumental. site-specif- ic The success of his public commissions reflects his meticulous site research. He takes pictures of the location and interviews local people to get a better idea of the physical and psychological space in which the sculpture will be residing. 4 Martin Conover Koleen Peterson Publisner Managing Editor Penny Hamilton Lynda Grover Editor Office Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Advance) $18 per year - 50$ per copy $21 per year outside Sanpete Co.

Rosella Hamblin brought in the following information taken from an old story published in 1932 in the Buffalo Evening News by Bob Davis. He received the information from Romania Hyde Woolley, a talented girl who played the piano and violin. She fled to Germany to study and was found 20 years later by Davis. Romania tells about her LDS grandfather, Apostle Orson Hyde, who is buried in the Spring City Cemetery. Mrs. Woolley reports Orson Hyde was at one time seriously considered as the successor to Joseph Smith. He was originally a Campbellite and joined the Mormons at Kirtland and was the first Mormon to set foot in and Jerusalem. England Steeped in the Bible, he could quote, after hearing one verse from any section of the old the succeeding Testament, verse in the chapter. Hyde was a strong motivator and expected performance from his employees. Incorporated in the diary compiled by Orsons son, Joseph S., is the following page "defining the daily chores set out by Grandfather Hyde in 1863 for Mr. Welsh, the farm man of all work. 1. Make fires in fireplace and stove, then bring water for breakfast. 2. Shovel and sweep away snow from about the door when necessary. Elder L.

Junior golf underway 1 two-pers- Orson Hyde was stern Veterans to at cemetery As the first big holiday weekend of the summer season approaches, the Utah Highway Patrol strongly encourages all motorists to use safety belts and child safety seats on every trip in a motor vehicle. Many people don t realize how your chances of serious injury or death are significantly reduced if you wear safety belts. An estimated 24,886 lives were saved by safety belts from 1983-199The consequences of a motor vehicle accident can be pretty severe. Every year more than 44,000 people are killed and hundreds of thousands suffer moderate to serious injuries in motor vehicle accidents. Out of all of lifes risks, motor vehicle accidents are high on the list; they are the number one killer from childhood to age 34. It s hard to understand why people will swallow medicine to get rid of the sniffles, starve themselves to lose a few pounds, and spend a fortune on exercise equipment and then get into their cars and refuse to buckle their safety belt to possibly prevent a disabling injury or even to save their life. Memorial Day weekend historically signals the beginning of the summer travel season. This summer, a special campaign will be implemented across the nation to increase safety belt usage. This campaign, known as the "Avoid the Summertime Blues" will include increased efforts on the part of enforcement agencies to increase compliance with state child passenger safety andor safety belt laws. Buckle up every trip and "Avoid the Summertime Blues." ased by Koleen Peterson fly flags Guest Editorial by Trooper Terry C.
