Conversion to God, although not necessarily to Catholicism or even Christianity, is the way - quite possibly, the only way - to world peace. The children testified "Our Lady " told them She would impart ten secrets to each of them. When all of the children receive all ten secrets, the apparitions will cease and world-wid- e revelation of the secrets will, begin.: Although the village is so close to armed conflict that shelling can actually be heard, visitors say they were overwhelmed by the sense of love and peace there. Danielle Wundertich (left) and Rachel Palmer (right) had at least as much fun as any of the players last Thursday evening when Milford girls defeated Escalante 38-1-9. Rachel's mother, Cathy Palmer, is assistant coach for the team.. Rachel, along with her dad, lan, and . baby sister, Brianna, helped cheer the team to victory. When the Palmers came to Milford a few months ago for Ian's interview with Circle Four : Farms, Cathy read in the newspaper that MHS was looking for an assistant coach to help with the newly formed girls basketball program. As soon as her husband's career decision was determined, Cathy applied for the position. "The girls are having fun, learning basketball, and building the foundation for future teams. We're new at this. Of course, it is more fun knowing that we G4 win," she said; Team record for the season is 3 wins -- 1 loss (to Delta). From her own experience with high school and college sports, Cathy understands how hard it is for the. girls to juggle all of their responsibilities.

When the conflict spread, and ethnic cleansing was used to eliminate or displace Muslims and Croats, children were, of course, left homeless and orphaned. The Children 's Village in Bijakovici, adjacent to Medjugorje, was opened in June 1995 to help address the needs of those children. Phase I of the "village" will consist of 20 individual houses. Each house, complete with kitchen, living area, bathroom, laundry and storage, is designed to accommodate 8 children and an adult caretaker. Eventually, they hope to take care of 200 children. Land for the "village" was purchased by the parish. Y Marko and Mirjana (Dragicevic) Soldo, who are themselves parents of two small daughters, have worked toward promotion and implementation of the orphanage. In Medjugorje Magazine (fall 1995) Mirjana, one of the first visionaries to receive all ten secrets, is quoted as saying, "At the beginning of the apparitions, while we were still children, we asked Out Lady what she wanted from our lives. She simply told us 'Do as you feel in your heart.' This is all she said about our private lives." Mirjana has chosen to have a family. "I have no fear of having children, simply because I believe in God. All I was able to tell them (the pilgrims in Medjugorje) was they need to have fear only if they do not have children. I cannot say more than that." In 1991 the Medjugorje house of the Community of the Cenacle was inaugurated at the foot of Apparition Hill.

Historical Tidbits Horses for Teddy Roosevelt By McCoy Williams I have an historical happening, that few if any people of Milford, ever knew anything about. My father, Orrin R. Williams as a young man, about twenty .five years of age, in 1896, was hired by the government to purchase horses for ' the military. He hired I a few cowboys to help him: They worked Millard and Beaver Counties and bought the required numbers, drove them to Milford, loaded them on railroad cars, and shipped them to the east coast near New York City. They were destined for Teddy Roosevelt and I his troops, but by the time they arrived in New York, Teddy Roosevelt had already charged up San Juan Hill, he being the only one : T: Being surrounded by Piute Cats couldn't keep Noah Tribole away from the hoop last weekend on horseback and the rest went on foot. " MemorlesOf My Father By Norman Baxter ' My Dad, Charlie Baxter, was a strong man who could swing a sledge all day long and never miss - well, almost never. One day we were working on some assessment work in the mine. We were in a pretty tight spot with barely room for me to hold the steel while Dad, with a powerful underhand swing, hit his mark and drove it into the rock. One simple slip and the sledge grazed my dust mask. I wasn't hurt, but it took quite a while for Dad to recover from his fright so we could go on with the work. After the war, Dad always wanted to buy a metal detector. He said, "Son, most of the Horn Silver miners were immigrants, of tmany which didn't trust the bank. They would take their miners pay in gold coins and hide it somewhere. Occasionally, one would be killed in an accident or a saloon brawl. Other men would tear his cabin apart, piece by piece, but would never find the gold." He believed that somewhere around the cabin site, in an unlikely spot, the gold could be found. alfalfa farm, and also served as town marshall. He would go out early in the morning to In the 1930's Dad had an i clean then come home, up, and spend the day on his duties. Toward evening he would gaback to the farm to I'change the water, ichange the water, then patrol the town for two or three hours after dark. He never wore a holster, but would tuck the pistol under I his belt. When not on duty he always set the pistol on the ice box. One day my sister picked up the gun and got the safety off, but :was unable to get it back on. She thought she would see him, but somehow they missed each other. He came home, tucked the pistol under his belt and patrolled the town. Returning home, he was removing the pistol when it went off. Mama screamed, "Are you hurt?' He said, "I'll see." He ripped his placket ope. No harm was done as the bullet passed through the crotch of his pants and on through the floor between his feet. Shattered nerves took a while to calm down.
