He had been given permission to call his parents, Paul and Shauna Patrick of Springville, to let them know where he would be going when his phone rang. It was nearly nine in the morning, and I was just finishing my scripture study. I remember I was reading about the Gadianton Robbers. I was surprised to hear my Mom's voice. She said one of the twin towers had been hit by a plane, but she downplayed it; the Empire State Building had been rammed by a prop plane a few years before, and she thought it was like that; just a small plane." Patrick explained. "We continued talking, and she was watching the news at the same time. She started to get upset. She said it was a big plane, and that another plane had just struck the second tower." I had been up on the observation observa-tion tower just a couple of months before, and 1 knew how big it was food lots of places to eat a huge 3-D map of the city where tourists could have a view of the whole area, and take a virtual tour on a sort-of ride they had up there. It was cool. Volunteers invited to fall brunch The annual fall brunch and recruitment meeting of the Hafen-Dallin Guild at the Springville Museum of Art will be held on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 10:30 a.m. All members are welcome to attend, at-tend, as well as anyone interested inter-ested in becoming a volunteer at the museum. Dr. George Handley will be the speaker. His topic is "The Desert Blossoming as a Rose: Art and Environmental Imagination." Imagi-nation." Jeff and Kelly Decker will host another Dining for Art evening on October 19. Call the museum early to make reservations as this will surely be another sell-out. For information on either event, call the museum at 489-2727. Mull All the Elders liked to go up there." Patrick and the other three Elders El-ders from his apartment went to the 24th floor of some nearby government housing, the tallest building in Yonkers, for a better view. It was a clear, beautiful , day, ,P marred only, by smoke surrounding the twin towers. All of Manhattan and the surrounding sur-rounding boroughs are flat, except ex-cept for the buildings, so we could see everything. The towers stick out above everything. Well, at least, they did then... We took pictures of each other and the towers, but the wind was blowing, covering them up. Now and then the smoke would billow up and we could see them. The smoke was white then," he said. We tried to contact the Mission Mis-sion Assistant to see what to do, but couldn't reach him. We decided to go donate blood. A nearby cafeteria had been converted con-verted into a blood collection center. It was amazing how fast that changed. "We had to wait about two and a half hours to donate, but with about an hour left to wait, we were called away. We were needed on the streets. ta will be on Novembor baHot Voters in Utah County will have the opportunity to express their opinions in the November election concerning adding a sales tax levy of one tenth of one percent in the county. The tax levy would raise money to fund parks, arts and recreation, known as the RAP tax. However, even if voters say they would be willing to pay the extra tax, Utah County Commissioners Commis-sioners will have the last say as to whether or not it is put into effect. The commissioners voted last Tuesday, 2-1, to allow the opinion opin-ion question on the ballot. Commissioners Com-missioners Gary Herbert and David Gardner noted to put it on the ballot, while Commissioner Jerry Grover cast the dissenting vote. Most of the mayors in the county want the tax which would go to fund parks, fine arts and things like recreation centers. But the commissioners indicated that a transportation tax needs to be dealt with before the RAP issue. The decision Tuesday was in response to a county commission public hearing August 21. In 2001 , the Utah State Legislature Legis-lature gave permission to counties on whether to place the issue on SPRINGVILLE, UTAH "Our area was full of disadvantaged disad-vantaged people. Many of them were wandering around and afraid. They saw us, recognizing us as religious people, and came up to ask us if this was a 'sign' and if we thought it was the end of the world. We were able to provide comfort and answers for many people that day." ' Transfers for the missionaries had to be postponed as safety issues, communication, health and transportation difficulties were worked out. "I didn't leave for the Mission Office until Saturday, the fifteenth," fif-teenth," said Patrick. Our apartment apart-ment rallied together, reading and praying. My companion's father worked at the World Financial Center, just across from the WTC. He had a lot to deal with over it, because it was really messed up and he couldn't go back to work. Once in the mission office, directed by President Noel Stoker and his wife, Carol, Elder Patrick had his share of problems. Rumors were flying everywhere every-where about a big Zone Conference Confer-ence scheduled to be held at the World Trade Center on September Septem-ber 11, but that through the hand the November ballot and then, depending on outcome, whether to impose the tax in their county. If the tax is put in place, the county commissioners would also have the say as to how the tax monies are distributed. The law does not allow individual cities to impose the tax. Officials estimate that if the tax were imposed it could raise more than $4 million in the county. coun-ty.
