While up there they participated in many team building exercises as well as enjoyed nature. Payson photographer mixes art with verse in new book Western American landscape land-scape photography grew out of the pioneer tradition, tradi-tion, led by photographers attached to the government govern-ment survey teams that went west in the 1860s and 1870s. It was intensely physical work. Photographers had to haul hundreds of pounds of equipment, chemicals, fresh water and fragile frag-ile glass plates up steep mountains and across dry deserts. However, these . photographers made pictures pic-tures of great beauty only incidentally; their chief purpose was to document the land in the interests of commerce. Now In the 21st century, John Parkinson, award-winning award-winning landscape photographer photog-rapher and creator of the new book, "Visual Verse" (Synergy Books, October 2006, ISBN 1-933538-37-6), believes that to truly appreciate ap-preciate the beauty of our nation, we must approach it as a spiritual experience I of "God's art." j In "Visual Verse," Par-j Par-j kinson reveals the majesty i of nature by combining images with inspirational Off (HIBDQKI (iK03lQ Physicians' Research Options and Medical Doctors at Mt.

"One day, as I was making mak-ing a simple image of a pine tree in front of a mountain peak that seemed to rise into heaven, I realized what a natural gift we possess without conscious awareness," says Parkinson. Par-kinson. "That's when the words of the verse titled 'A Gift' in my book came into my mind, and I wanted want-ed to find a way to share this heavenly wonder with others." . It's important that people stay connected to nature, for both spiritual and mental men-tal health, says Parkinson. Now, with "Visual Verse," even people living among the metal and concrete structures of our nation's big cities can visit the beauty beau-ty of the natural world any time simply by turning the pages of his book.

His photographic pho-tographic journeys have taken him to the peaks of Wyoming and the autumn-swept autumn-swept paths of New England, Eng-land, but it is the rugged deserts and lush valleys of Utah that truly inspire him. "Photography has taken me to many exotic places in the world to document the art of God," says Parkinson. Par-kinson. "But I have found great satisfaction close to home in making images of the Colorado Plateau and the beauty in my native state of Utah." Parkinson currently resides re-sides in his hometown of Payson. A graduate of the University of Utah, Parkinson's Parkin-son's work has been featured fea-tured in juried art shows around the state, and commercially com-mercially on product labels, calendars, credit cards, screen savers, wall decor and as stock photography.

Liz Elder Okay, here's a description descrip-tion of a bite of a Gramma Gram-ma J's chocolate-covered cherry. Please be advised that I'm going to try my best to make it almost impossible for you to not go to her shop and get one, so, if you don't want that to happen, you might want to think over whether wheth-er or not you really want to keep reading. At that moment when your upper teeth first sit on the slightly uneven surface of this exquisite treat, you already know that something is unusual. unusu-al. The heft of the piece in your hand, the intoxicating intoxi-cating smell, has alerted you you instinctively breathe deeply, a sigh at having found something you never knew you wanted but have needed, always. Your teeth sink though the first layer of chocolate, choco-late, not easily because the layer is perfect, not too thick, but enough to give you a rich sense of the chocolate's textures, it's layers of bitter and sweet, the things that made cocoa co-coa food for a king. The inner liquid seeps out a bit, not so much that you feel a sudden rush, but enough to begin to cover your tongue with more flavors. Your attention at-tention turns to it, you're happily surprised to find not the sharp sugary taste of cheaper fondants but something that reminds you of summer days and homemade custard you ate one evening after dinner din-ner out on the porch, savoring sa-voring every cream-filled bite. You want more. Now the fondant and the chocolate choc-olate begin to coalesce, to X 'V' v . 1 M , j r - J rrr i I -' &rnrL.:i 4 ti- It? - Students at Mapleton School were pleasantly surprised by a visit from Johnny Appleseed on his birthday this week. He had his pot on his head and a friendly beaver who helped tell the story of his life. Students were then treated with different kinds of apples which they tasted and graphed. The results were in favor of the JonGold apple. So now you all know which one to try! Hope Johnny came to visit your school too!

The combination of chocolate and fondant is so perfect that you tilt your hand back instinctively to save the liquid center, to save the experience. You've almost al-most forgotten the cherry. You say to yourself, "This should be enough, but I want more." You have another bite coming. This time the chocolate, the buttery fondant, and the cherry are there together, waiting wait-ing ,f or you. You pop the thing in your mouth, you groan, you think, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten!" Your eyes water a little, you sit down, and you smile. Gramma J likes to have that all happen in the first ten seconds. A high standard stan-dard I obviously think she meets. Her little shop on the corner of 1150 N. Main in Springville sits between the I Am My Own Tattoo and Piercing parlor and Tahiti Tan, proving once again that you can zone all you want, but free enterprise en-terprise is free enterprise. Now is the time for us to be thinking about candy: Halloween candy, Christmas Christ-mas candy, sugared nuts on top of Thanksgiving pie. But I'm a grown-up. When I was a child, I ate candy as a child. On Halloween, Hal-loween, I loved the combination combi-nation of the dark night, the leaves rustling under my feet, the thrill of being a covered ghost or a lip-sticked lip-sticked princess. I loved the idea of an unlimited amount of forbidden fruit, all my own, up in my room, which I sorted and categorized. I loved the little mounds FAMILY FRIENDLY RADIO FOR UTAH VALLEY AM RADIO The Key 1450 f UUILUU Web Site: www.keyy.com E-Mail: mailkeyy.com Complete program schedule and listener comment opportunity on our web site or phone us for a copy of our schedule! - KEYY will not add your name to any mailing lists.

The idea of having candy to throw away! One of the saddest moments mo-ments of my life was when my mom was older and on her last Halloween, no one came to Trick or Treat. She had been prepared with her Kit Kat bars and miniature Hershey's, but for some reason, no one came. Giving away candy is one of life's greatest pleasures watching someone's eyes light up with that greedy, childlike child-like glimmer at something unexpected. Now that I'm old, I think Halloween Hallow-een candy is mostly for parents. It's such an easy way out, the feeling that you've delighted someone so easily. Collectively, sharing sweets has always been part of our best memories: memo-ries: a summer peach pie, winter's peppermints and hot cocoa, spring's strawberry straw-berry preserves. Judy Waters (Gramma J) believes we should keep that feeling of deserving a special treat, that candy brings us a little bit of happiness hap-piness that we shouldn't let go of in our lives. We scurry around taking tak-ing care of our kids, our neighbors, our jobs, our cars, our loved ones of every ev-ery stripe and craziness. Why aren't we buying more candy for ourselves? Maybe at Gramma J's. Liz Elder can be reached at: e-mail, clelder2001yahoo.com. 24 HOURS A DAY to life is Jesus Christ 7 7 ,fn ID 5'4WO I |
