Beauty and adventure won over duty, and we decided to see if we could reach the end of the rainbow. rain-bow. Traveling up Battlecreek Drive, the kids helped me navigate toward the rainbow. "There it is, by the big tree!" "Now it's right below the 'G'!" Our excitement excite-ment rose as we gained altitude. Before us was the rainbow, and, most impor- tantly the end of the rainbow. rain-bow. Thoughts of leprechauns lep-rechauns and pots of gold began to fill our minds and our conversation. We did not reach the end of the rainbow. We reached the end of the pavement. Before us, a rugged jeep trail went straight up the face of the mountain. I stopped the car, and three of my daughters jumped out and , began to scramble up the:! trail. Shouts of, "I saw a' leprechaun! Let's find his gold!" filled the air and faded as my daughters climbed higher and higher. They were getting very close to the end of the rainbow! As I waved to my daughters, the clouds parted and the sun shone brightly upon the side of the mountain. Slowly the rainbow faded away. The brilliant rays of the golden sun illuminated my children. chil-dren. As the sunlight bathed the radiant cheeks and brilliant russet and flaxen hair of my girls, I knew that I had indeed found the gold at the end of this rainbow. pinteirjj Cass in American Fork agemeA CERT class will be held tonight Jie pn;n 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the American asn't sjk Senior Citizen Center, 54.

It was the sixth consecutive year of injury illness decline. According to former Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health, Charles N. Jeffress, there has been significant reductions in lost workday rates over the past three years in each of the five targeted industries: shipyards, food processing, construction, logging and nursing homes.
