True to form we have been having some nice little showers and one day we got over an inch of rain in just a few minutes! Our great new reservoir is full and running over and I hear the kids are having a great time using the spillway for a giant waterslide! And the contractors said we would never fill it! At least not this first summer! Richard and Victory Crawford are home from their LDS Mission to Perth, Australia. They were the speakers in the First Ward last Sunday. They look great and apparently fared well while they were gone. Most of their children were here and in attendance. Chad and Jordon Cottam were the speakers in the Second Ward. Tyler Hughes, son of Greg and Sabrina Hughes received his mission call and will be going to Russia. I believe they said in November or December. The following were released from the Young Women's organization in the First Ward: Pres: Rae Ann Knight; 1st Councelor: Debbie Allen; 2nd Counselor: Tani Cottam; Secretary: Heidi Noyes. Called to the new positions were: President: Cassie Lyman; 1st Councelor: Renee Singletary; 2nd Counselor: Jarel Anderson; Secretary Heidi Shakespear. The sisters ofthe First and Second Ward spent a lovely day together last Tuesday on a trip to the temple in St. George. Those who went were: Thais Griffin, Carrie Griffin, Marty Henry, Sherree Roundy, Sandra Miller, Lois Barney, Camille Shakespear, Eve Marsh, Renee Porter, Renee Singletary, Lori Beebe, Ardis Christensen and Susann McLemore. Lynn and Sarah Barney have moved to St. George where Lynn will be closer with the commute to his work. Grandpa and Grandma, Wade and Shelley Barney, are having a hard time accepting the move! They got SO attached to those little grandkids. They will probably keep the road hot between here and St. George. They can't go and stay though 'cause it would be a shame to let that beautiful garden of theirs go to weeds! Ben Carter, his wife and their cute little blond girl have been here visiting Ben's parents, Keith and - Linda Carter. Ron and Linda Mecham are here, from Las Vegas, enjoying the COOL weather. They brought three grandchildren with them, Kolton, Kolby and Kavin, and will have a bunch more coming around the 24th of July. Myron and Sannette Cottam took their boat and their daughters Melanie and Natalie and some of their grandchildren and went to Lake Powell. Natalie invited her cousin Chad and his wife Jordon to come along, so after they got off work on Wednesday they went down to join them. Gary Griffin came back again, from Woodland Hills, to spend the weekend with Gene and Thais Griffin and to take Sheila, his wife, back home. Thais says Sheila spent the week here and did nothing but shampoo carpets and clean house for her. How lucky can you be to have a daughter-in-law like that. Especially when you are mine and Thais' age! Good job Sheila! Carrie Griffin has been eagerly awaiting a visit from Dustin and Gen Griffin, who live in Wellsville, Ohio. Gen brought their four children and drove to Utah. She went to Idaho Falls, Id. where Troy and Rhonda (Griffin) McMurtrey live and left her children with Rhonda while she went to the airport to pick Dustin up. Then they came on to Escalante. Dustin works in the state of No. Dakota on the oil rigs and had to fly in order to have any visiting time. So, jobs being what they are, Troy lives in Idaho, Dustin lives in Ohio and his brother, Jessie, lives in Utah and they all fly to No. Dakota to work on the oil rigs! Gene and Renon (Roundy) Reed, Richfield have been camped at Boulder awaiting the Heritage Festival celebration there on the 15th and 16th of July. They came to Escalante on Thursday to visit their cousins, Deon Alvey, Marlene Haws and Ronald Mecham. Julie Ford had fireworks at her house one day last week when lightning struck and took out her TV's and computer! It must have been the day that lightning filled the whole sky and there was one of the loudest claps of thunder I have ever heard! The weird part of it was that they occurred almost simultaneously. No time in between. I'm Julie's neighbor and if my bed hadn't been so close to the floor I would have been tempted to crawl under it! So sorry, Julie! A thought for the week: Anybody can grow old. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.

Free estimates Locally owned by Tony & Sonni Beckstead Patriots' Day, another tribute to the American Revolution, belongs to Maine and Massachusetts alone. The holiday commemorates the famous battles of Lexington and Concord It was on April 19, 1775, that Massachusetts minutemen,taking the cue from Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott, took a stand against 700 British troops marching to Concord to raid a colonial weapons stockpile. As the militia was retreating, someone fired a weapon. This "shot heard `round the world" marked the beginning of the American Revolution. Patriots' Day is ob-served annually on the third Monday in April, with many companies allowing employees to take the day off. In addition to community celebrations, the holiday is marked by the running of the Boston Marathon. San Jacinto Day On April 21, 1836, General Sam Houston led Texan troops in a surprise attack that sealed the future state's independence from Mexico. The location? The mouth of the San Jacinto River, near the present-day city of Houston. At least 600 of Mexican general Santa Anna's men were killed and more than 700 were taken prisoner in the 18-minute Battle of San Jacinto. Among Houston's 800 men, only nine lost their lives. Texas pride abounds every April 21 as the state celebrates its independence from Mexico. The battle site is now adorned with a monument that, in true Texas style, was once the tallest stone monumentin the world. San Jacinto Day is one of several holidays unique to Texas. Residents also celebrate their state's colorful history on Texas Independence Day (March 2), Emancipation Day (June 19), and Lyndon Baines Johnson Day (Aug. 27). King Kamehameha Day Pioneer Day (also called "Days of '47") is doubly significant for the large portion of Utah's population that belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. July 24 is the anniversary of the day in 1847 when Brigham Young reached the Salt Lake</A> Valley and declared it the place where he and his followers would settle. Fleeing religious persecution in their former home of Nauvoo, Illinois, the group traveled 1,300 miles to this site. These first pioneers paved the way for thousands of other Mormons and for many other people who would officially become Utahns in 1896. More than a century later, the state continues to pay tribute to its founders on July 24 each year. 9 3 Patriots' Day Pioneer Day 4 8 On the first Monday in March, kids in Illinois get a day off from school in honor of a man who never set foot in the American Midwest.Casimir Pulaski (1748?1779) was a Polish native who became a war hero in two countries. In Poland, he was a leader in the effort to defend his nation against Russian forces in the 1760s and 1770s. When the defense ultimately failed to prevent the partition of Poland, Pulaski fled his country. He was eventually recruited by Benjamin Franklin to help fight against the British for American independence.. Pulaski's achievements during the American Revolution, as chief of cavalry and while heading an independent legion, are recognized in Illinois each year on the first Monday of March. Illinoisis home to just under one tenth of the Polish-American population. 5 2 1 Casimir Pulaski Day The Hawaiian Islands have a rich history of their own, having avoided European contact until the end of the 18th century and U.S. domination until the end of the 19th century. Kamehameha the Great (c. 1738-1819) became king of the island of Hawaii in 1790 at a time when the Hawaiian islands were ruled individually and were at war with one another. By 1810, Kamehameha had gained control of all the islands and united them for the first time. Under his leadership, Hawaii became peaceful and prosperous. Kamehameha is recognized as a heroic leader who helped smooth the impact of the Western "invasion" on the Hawaiian people and culture. Each year on and around June 11, the islands plan floral parades, hula competitions, and other festivities incorporating traditional Hawaiian cultural themes.
