The Dominican Father is widely known as the "Doughnut Priest" because of the home-mad- e pastries he sells to tourists to his mission work. support The Lumen Christi Award is given annually to honor exemplary work to extend the Catholic Faith in America. Father Valine is recognized for his unique evangelization work in a state that is only 4 Catholic but has thousands of visitors to the Bryce and Grand Canyon National Parks which are near his missions.

A 90 -- year -- old Dominican, who is Cathpossibly the oldest olic pastor in the United States and whose unique brand of evangelization has made him known as the "Doughnut Priest" to thousands of tourists, has won the Catholic Church Extension Society's 11th Annual Lumen Christi Award. The 1988 award will be presented to Father Joseph Valine, O.P. who has gained a beloved reputation for selling doughnuts to visitors to the scenic areas of southern Utah. The " Extensloh'Soclety, a Papal organization which raises funds for Catholic Church in America. "Father Valine's life reflects the work of many, many priests and religious working quietly but with grace in the rural parts of our country," said Very Reverend Edward J. Slattery, Extension President. "We are happy to be able to honor not only Father Valine but all those home missioners who keep the Lord's presence alive for millions of Americans." Father Valine, a native of Portugal who came to the U.S. In 1906, is typical of the home missioners Extension has helped since its founding in 1905. He has served in remote mission areas of Utah for 47 years. During that time, he established seven parishes and m is -sions in a state that is mostly Mormon and has only 43 Catholic parishes in all. He still serves as pastor of three churches, covering a terrirory twice the size of Rhode Island. Although far beyond the age at which most priests retire, Father Valine has no plans to stop working. As the spry Dominican frequently tells people, he wants to live at least until the year 2000, when he will be 103. "No one wants my job!" he jokes in a way that says as much about his remote apostolate as about himself. "Bishop (William) Welgand said I get the most prayers of any priest in the Diocese of Salt Lake City. The priests are all praying that I will never die so that none full-ti- fiktV 6Bv w Roger Sturman Greedy Beer Drinkers The latest statistics, accordingto Chief LeLeand Bower of theSpring-vlll- e, Utah Police Department, show that 25 gallons of beer are consumed in Utah for every man woman and child that lives in the state. If only half of the population of Utah are beer drinkers, that means that the other half are using up 50 gallons apiece each year! If half of those are young children, that leaves 100 gallons per person remaining! 100 gallons each divided Into six packs and then into Individual 12 ozs. cans equals a heck of a lot of beer! Let's see if we can figure that all out. 1 gallon contains 128 ozs. (I think). 128 ounces mul- tiplied times 100 gallons per year per beer drinker equals 12,800 ounces of beer. Divide 12,800 by 12 and that should give us the number of 12ozs. cans of beer consumed per person. According to my calculations that Is about 1,066.66 cans of beer per year, or Just under 3 cans a day per person. You see, what I am getting at of them will have to take over my parishes." This good priest is a model for all, as he is fully alive at age 90 and his love of the Lord and his people is contagious," siad Most Reverend William Welgand, Bishop of Salt Lake City Diocese, in his nomination of Father Valine for the award. Father Valine recalls coming to Utah the day President Roosevelt declared war on Japan in 1941. He was answering a call for priests to work in the missions of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, and his first assignment was as founding pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Logan in northern Utah, where he remained for seven years. He also began the parish in nearby Brigham City. In 1947, the diocess sent Father Valine to its newest mission parish in Richfield, A year later, he moved on to St. Bridget's in Mil-for- d, a remote railroad town which became his base of outreach to the small towns of southwestern Utah. He began offering Mass at the National Parks of the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canyon and the towns of Beaver, Kanab, Richfield and Panguitch. His travels he estimates he has logged 2 million miles in the service of the Church made him realize the need for churches In the region, not only for its year-rouresidents but for the thousands of Catholic tourists who visit the parks each summer. "In these little places, there were no churches and few Catholics, but I felt the need to establish a place for them so that the people would know these Catholics existed and that the Church was here to stay," Father Valine said. Without any money of his own and with a tiny flock of parishioners whose collections were insufficient to support their parishes, Father Valine set out to build the churches using any means available. He first tried farming 260 acres of alfalfa which was sold to local dairymen Then he took on the job nd there are drinking more than your share. This is this.

My family has taken a vote and we have decided that we want whoever is drinking our 2,133.32 cans of beer each year to knock It off. We would like our 533 13 cans apiece to sit on the shelf of the store and gather dust. Over the next 20 years I figure some store that stocks my 25 gallon allotment of beer Is going to be stuck with 10,500 cans of dusty brew on the shelf. It Is Important to me for my associates to know that I do not drink beer. Probably just as Important as it Is for you beer drinkers to have your friends kmw that you do. Anyway, this is not a statement about the evils of beer it Is just a matter of distribution. Somebody is drinking my share and quite frankly I think whoever Is drinking up my beer has a helluva lot of nerve. What I would like to do Is to be able to go Into my beer store and 6ay, "See those 533 13 cans of beer on the shelf right there?Those! are the ones I didnt drink lastL year." But I can't do that because some greedy beer drinker is buying them up.

Where do you get off going around drinking up everybody else's beer,- anyway? Didn't your mother ever teach you that you are supposed to share. It's guys like you that start buying panics and runs on the stores. The moderate drinking of beer didnt bother me too much before I found out that each person In the state was credited with 25 gallons apiece per year. Knowingthat somebody else has been guzllng my share all these years, however, has really got my dander up. I think you folks in the stores have a little explaining to do also. Who gave you perr mission to sell my beer? You never can tell, I might want to wash my feet in the stuff or use it to spray on my trees to keep the neighborhood dogs away. From here on out, I would appreciate It if you would just keep mine In your store until I figure out what the heck to do with It. And you, the guy who is drinking my share and his too, I hope you get a hangover that won't quit. On monday morning, after you have consumed my portion of the 25 gallons along with your own, and your head Is pounding, I hope you have some feeling of guilt.
