With pages of J.M. Barrie's fantasy, "Peter Pan," jutting from the center of the leaf and the settings of the famous story also emerging from the leaf, the crowd may wonder if they have stumbled into the magical world of Neverland. "Peter Pan" will play Mondays, Mon-days, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from June 9-24 at 8 p.m. at the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre, 699 S. State St., Orem. General admission tickets are $10 for adults with $8 for children (age 3-11), seniors (65) and students (wID).

I Celebrrtyl tinging competition The SCERA is offering a different dif-ferent twist to the idea by offering offer-ing a vocal competition featuring featur-ing accompaniment and backup vocals by a live band prior to six of its outdoor movies at the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre with the top six serving as the opening act for country superstar su-perstar Tracy Byrd on Aug. 31. Celebrity! is a vocal talent search and will take place over six nights in June, July and August at 8 p.m. and feature 15 competitors each night vying for the top six spots.

Semi-finals will be Aug. 24 and 25, and the top six will have the opportunity to be on the concert bill with Tracy Byrd, whose big hit is a bit ironic: iron-ic: "Keeper of the Stars." The public is invited to attend at-tend Celebrity!, which begins at 8 p.m., and then stay for an outdoor movie which will begin at dusk. General admission is $4 for adults and $3 for students, children 3-11 and seniors 65 and older.

He was dressed in a loincloth and carried a satchel containing contain-ing mock explosives, slung across his chest. In our training area were three coiled strands of concertina con-certina wire with evenly-spaced evenly-spaced razors in place of the barbs. Two coils were side-by side-by -side and one was on top. Inside one of the bottom coils were a couple of trip flares. This is what they strung around our camp perimeters to prevent infiltration. If the enemy tripped a flare, it would light up that area. The orientation sergeant asked us, "How long do you think it will take him to get from one side of the wire to the other?" Estimates were from five to 10 minutes this, while likely tripping one of the flares. "Go!" said the sergeant. The NVA soldier contorted his body and satchel through the wire, tied off a trip flare, and was on the other side in about 45 seconds. That got our attention! We then were cautioned about not falling asleep while on guard duty. We then walked a simulated simu-lated trail. You'd step over a log, set your foot down, and set off a buried pop cap. "You just got blown up," the sergeant would say. Moments later someone else tripped one of the thin vines common in the jungle, and it set off another pop cap. "You just blew up your whole squad!" I was assigned as squad leader to an infantry company com-pany of 140 to 150 men. We did sweeps through the bush (jungle). Every battalion (three companies) was assigned as-signed a hill out in the bush as its "permanent" camp. We would go out for a couple of days, pull sweeps through thick foliage, and then come back to our camp on the hill. Insurgents would randomly random-ly attack whoever was on the hill. They'd fire mortars at us and engage us in f irefights but we rarely saw them. The attacks were usually at night, so we'd have to jump in our foxholes and fire into the night, which was partially lighted by sky flares. We rarely found Vietnamese Viet-namese casualties. The Vietnamese Viet-namese would usually take their dead and wounded with them. We also had casualties-some casualties-some men were killed, others wounded. There was a lot of flak from the mortars, and sometimes a bunker would take a direct hit. I remember my first fire-fight. fire-fight. We'd been in the bush for about two weeks when some VC opened fire on us. Everybody dropped to the ground, except for some of us new guys.

Williams Alpine City Recorder Published In North County Newspapers June 1, 2006. 00232720 UPAXLP Editor's note: This is the second in a three-part series se-ries about Sergeant Ryan Beuhring, of Orem. Remembering Remem-bering his service in Vietnam, been dead at least six times. hunched down, trying to see where the shots were coming from, so I could fire back. Then a bullet whizzed by my right ear. I stood up in anger and thought, "You could have killed me!" That's when I realized, this is how it's going to be I immediately dropped to the ground. After that, I don't think anybody ever beat me to the ground again whenever when-ever a shot was fired. That's also when I remember feeling that gut-wrenching anxiety and suppressed fear that stayed with me throughout my tour in Vietnam. This was real, not like the war we used to play at home when we were kids. ', We also learned that each trail had its direction Booby traps were set to kill the most people who walked the direction direc-tion of a trail. The enemy knew that Americans were often lazy, in the sense that they would usually take common com-mon trails instead of going through the brush so those were the ones the enemy booby trapped. After several months in the line company I was recruited re-cruited by the Black Berets (Company G, 75th Rangers). I learned that their friendly casualty ca-sualty ratio was significantly lower than that of the regular infantry companies. "We go out in six-man teams, for 34 days every week," the sergeant told me. "It's not like a company that walks in; you will be inserted and extracted by helicopter on most missions." He said we would be trained in stealth and how to survive in the bush. I returned to my stand-down stand-down unit, to be flown back . to my battalion's hill out in the bush. However, my company was coming in for stand-down the next day, so they gave me the option to stay there that night. It turned out that had I gone back to the bush the previous previ-ous day, I would likely have died. Our battalion had been ordered to pull a sweep. They walked into an ambush, and the NVA boxed them in. It took all night, with heavy air support, to extract them. The next day I was told that the man who had walked in my Elace was among those who ad been killed. I Next week: Sergeant Beuhring reflects on the duties du-ties of a soldier in combat.
