Show AROUND THE COUNTY Juni 13, 2012 Family photo night turns into tragedy CHERYL OVARD SCN Editor A night planned for photos of a family from Lehi at beautiful setting on the grounds at the Glenwood Cemetery As- sociation, a private, non-profit cemetery, chosen for the pictures to be taken was shortlived. As children do, the young man was by an old upright marker, when it fell on him. It all happened so quickly. The family had to free him by lifting the old headstone from him, and paramedics worked with the young man to try and save the young boy's life. Shortly after 6 p.m, July 6, Park City Police Department officers were dispatched to the Glenwood Cemetery located at 402 Silver King Drive, (in Thaynes Canyon), where there are approximately 900 graves dating back to 1885. Responding officers assisted PCFD in expediting him, along with his family, to Park City Medical Center for treatment. Tragically, the 4 year old boy died at the hospital from his injuries. The 1st responder employees and agencies involved expressed their sincere condolences to the victim's family at this time. A comment from the boy's grandmother, Geri Gibbs, stated... "This tragic accident has taken the life of our energetic, sweet, beloved little boy, Carson Dean Cheney. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers...and thanks for allowing our privacy at this difficult loss." This photo of Carson was taken just minutes before the accident.

Castle Rock experienced a short flare up as a passing motorist stopped to let a 13year-old passenger out to use the bathroom, and he lit up a firework that started to burn very rapidly. Those who live in the area and fire officials were quick to respond and had it under control quickly. This photo depicts the "lack of fires" set by respectful campers observing the ban on open fires. Samak Store put out this sign to help sell their wood - it is located on the way Mirror Lake Hwy. and indicating that not many people were buying - so they were selling "Firewood by the Armload" during Fireworks / Open Fire Ban!
