He certainly has a lot of ideas and enthusiasm for the pageant. There are two very fine people who will be helping Mike. Steve Anderson will be production manager and Diane Moyes will be the childrens director. Both are exceptionally qualified. Steve Anderson, as production manager, will be working with the practical logistics of the play and facilitate all of the comings and goings, on stage, to keep things running smoothly.

"SUSC has hosted Utah Girls State actions were resolved in before the Fifth District proceedings Court in Fillmore, Wednesday, May 19, 1982. The two-da- y prosection of the cases was handled by Eldon A. Biason, Millard County Attorney. William A. Campbell, 24, and a sister, Linda Marie Hobbs, 21, were charged with five separate felony actions. They each pleaded guilty to theft from Curleys Lounge in Delta on April 14, 1982, at which time the evidence established that entrance to the building was had through the ventilating system to the roof, and evidence showed $3,000 in money and property was stolen. Proceedings were also had in the Fifth District Court involving Losee Lumber Company, Louder Cafe, Delta; the attempted burglary of Quality Market, during which episode, one of the defendants was apprehended at the scene; and another one was subsequently arrested by the Sheriffs Motor Posse, who discovered William Campbell attempting to evade officers by hitchhiking a ride out of town. At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of stereo tapes stolen from the vehicle owned by a drilling company. Campbell and Hobbs were allegedly making illegal entry of the market from the roof when spotted by a Sheriffs Jeep posse member riding with a po- Six felony Ashman Once again, we are lucky to have secured a director for the Chief Kanosh Pageant who is talented, resourceful, Michael D. and very enthusiastic. Eaton is the new director and he will be coming to us from Gunnison where he is the Gunnison Valley High drama teacher. Mike Eaton has had a wide range of experience in the acting and theatrical field to qualify him to be the director for our pageant this year. He is a graduate of SUSC. Being there enabled him to work with the After Shakespearean Festival one year. for two in Fredonia he taught college, his before present accepting years position at Gunnison Valley High. He lives in Gunnison with his wife, the former Mary Beth Winget, and their children. This summer, he will be teaching Upward Bound at Snow College, something he had done before. Mike has a lot of experience to his credit that goes beyond the teaching capacity. He began directing plays in high school (Orem) and has had a passion for it ever since. Mike was selected to direct "Families Are Forat the Zion Canyon Amphever itheatre. Since that was an outdoor production, the experience he gained from that will help him in his direction of the Chief Kanosh Pageant. Another facet of Mikes abilities come from his experience with the movies.

Once the children have been selected for the pageant, from the tryouts, Diane will have an acting class for them and then work with them in the pageant itself. Dianes experience with the theatre began in London when she was ten years old. She began with pantomimes and stage plays there. When she grew up, she literally traveled around the world doing theatrical work. Eventually. her road led her to our community. She works at Fillmore Elementary as a speech therapist and as a cook at the hospital on weekends. Her home is in Holden where she lives with her four children.

Using a search warrant, Millard County law enforcement officers gained evidence from the suspects living quarter, which led to recovery of items taken in a Beaver County burglary. The Beaver burglary occurred between April 10 and 19, when a safe and other items were taken from the rural residence of the Baumgardners. A search of the area near the Baumgardner residence led Millard and Beaver County officers to a mine just north of Minersville, known locally as the Creole mine, where the safe, cutting torches and other equipment used to open the safe were found. The discovery of the cutting torches and equipment will clear up two other burglaries, one in Beaver County in Minersville and one in Iron County in Cedar Gty. The cutting torches were taken from the Phillips 66 Station and store in Minersville and Warbys Auto Repair m Cedar City. Millard County Attorney Bdon A. Eliason reported that the effective work of Millard County Sheriff Ed Phillips and his deputies and the Delta City Police solved one of the largest crime sprees in the county in several years. Part of the evidence connecting William A. Campbell, Jr. with the Baumgardner burglary stems from the unusual tread of the tires on the vehicle he drives. According to the Millard County Sheriff's Department, the unusual tracks were found in many places around the burglary site. Linda Hobbs is not, at this time, a suspect in the Baumgardner case. Based on notes found in the place of residence and interrogation, charges have been filed in Millard County against Wes Folsom. He has been charged with two counts of burglary, third degree felonies, specifically burglary of the Louder Cafe and Losee Lumber Company in Delta. Camp-bell-Hob- Folsom has been released on his own recognizance under a previous bail bond from a Beaver County charge. No charges have been filed against Folsom, Campbell, or Hobbs in Beaver County. Judge J. Harlan Burns sentenced Campbell to 1 to 15 years in the Utah State Prison and he was committed the date of the sentencing. Sentence was deferred on Linda Marie Hobbs pending a report from the Adult Probation and Parole. Crowds head for great outdoors Jay T. Rogers With the opening of the fishing season and Memorial Day combined many recreationists will be heading for their favorite fishing andor camping spot this weekend for their first outing of the summer. All are looking forward to having a great time, and most will, but a few dampeners have been thrown their way in one form or another. One is really a dampener - one weatherman said it was too early (at press time) to forecast accurately for the weekend, but if he were going camping or fishing he would be sure to take along a tent. Another caution came from the Department of Safety regarding accidents. They said historically the Memorial Day weekend is the deadliest of all the holidays and they are asking motorists to take extra driving precautions and issued a plea for drivers and their passengers to wear their seat belts. And finally. Conservation Officer Brent Olson says the local streams will not be stocked prior to opening day (see accompanying article). On a brighter note, however, the Division of Wildlife Resources says there will still be a lot of good fishing available and most of the campground and picnic areas are open with operating facilities. The DWRs fishing forecast for some of our local fishermens favorite spots is as follows: Beaver Mountain Lakes and Streams: Over a dozen fishable lakes and several streams are found on the Beaver Mountains. Due to the heavy snowpack, access could be a problem on many of Little the higher elevation lakes. Reservoir, Indian Creek Reservoir, Three Creeks Reservoir arid Kent's Lakes should all be accessible and stocked with catchable rainbow trout by opening day. Puffer Lake. Anderson Meadow Reservoir, and LaBaron Reservoir are all questionable. Individuals may check with the local U.S. Forest Service office just prior to opening day to obtain the most recent information on access. Developed camping areas are located at Little Reservoir, Kent's Lake and Anderson Meadow Reservoir. Undeveloped camping areas are located near most fishing waters and over much of the mountain. Chalk Creek and Corn Creek: These streams near Fillmore will not be stocked for opening weekend. Fishing pressure should be moderate with the majority of fishermen coming from the local area. Water levels are expected to be high and muddy for the opening weekend with poor fishing conditions. Fishing will improve later in the year when water conditions improve and after the streams are stocked. Both streams have populations of wild trout.

Crowds are generally light on opening weekend with plenty of room at local Forest Service campgrounds. A good place to get away from heavy pressure, but expect cool weather. Also, a possibility to catch a large lake trout. Flaming Gorge Reservoir: Although open year around, it draws a large crowd for the opener. Recently the rainbow trout fishing has been picking fish are available up and trophy-size- d for fishermen with a lot of patience. The limit of trout is eight (except on weekend when the the opening limit is six) except that not more than two lake trout may be taken. Only one trout over 20 inches in length may be kept. Fishing from boats is most popular at Flaming Gorge, but rainbows are being taken from shore. Johnson Reservoir: Fishing should be good, but fish are again expected to be small, weighing 13 to 34 lb. Fishing from either boats or shore should be productive. Camping is available at nearby Forest campgrounds. A large crowd is expected. Koosharem Reservoir: Koosharem has generally been slow fishing on opening weekend. Fishing from shore or boats should be equally productive with fish weighing 34 to 2 lb. Camping sites are limited and moderate crowds are expected. Maple Grove: This small stream should be stocked for opening weekend. Access is good and a Forest Service campground is available. Generally light pressure. Meadow Creek: Will probably not be stocked until after opening weekend because of high water. Even later in the year, because of access problems for the fish truck, only the upper portions of this mountain stream will receive rainbow trout. The fishing pressure will be light, but the success should be good. Minersville Reservoir: A large open ing weekend crowd can be expected on this popular lake in southwestern Utah, although fishing prospects appear poor. An increasing chub population in the lake has resulted in fewer trout and somewhat reduced growth. Many of the trout caught will weigh about 12 lb. although some up to 3 lb are expected. Fishing is generally much better from boats than from shore. A state park campground and boat ramp facility are located at the lake, but all developed camping spots are filled by reservation. Undeveloped camping spots will be filled on a basis. Otter Creek Reservoir: A large crowd can be expected. Fishing should be fair. However, the chub population is Coni, to Page 2 lf first-com- first-serve- d e, |
