TheOld Courthouse was renovated, restored and beautified; the courtroom, the Judge's office, both restrooms, and the County Clerk's office. Development of Beaver Civic Arts and Courthouse Theatre was made possible by grants from the Utah Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, and Beaver County. The Dungeon of Arts was developed in three rooms of the courthouse jail, in the basement of the 1 beautiful structure, and housed exhibits of local and state interest for ten seasons. Twenty-tw- o productions of professional standards have been preaudisented to standing-room-onl- y in the ences courtroom. In 1 986 the Theatre was permanently moved across the street to the Opera House Civic Center. Twenty-si- x productions have been presented on a STAGE with a CURTAIN and AIRCONDITIONING. In 1978, the ladies barbershop chorus, "The Delano Di amonds," was founded and organized by Nell Smith with Hal Hickman coaching and directing. For twelve memorable and wonderful years these dedicated ladies met every Wednesday at 5:00 under the direction of Ruth Crook. The camaraderie and love that developed from this experience can never be duplicated or equalled. Several competing quartets came of the Delano Diamonds Chorus. For 12 years they performed freely when asked in addition to a Spring Concert with Intermountain Guest Artists, and an annual "Our Joyous Gift of Love" Christmas Concert. gust 8, 1993 Congressman Jim Hansen sent a letter to Chairman Bruce Vento, cosigned by 10 Democrat and Republican colleagues asking for hearings on the proposed Clinton grazing reforms. The Clinton Administration released its proposed rangeland reform package in August. The proposal looks to radically change present grazing fee policy by substantially' increasing the grazing fee, doing away with the Grazing Advisory Boards, and detrimentally alter life on the western range. The new policy would raise the monthly fee for grazing a cow, calf or sheep on federal lands from $ 1 .86 per animal unit month to $4.28. "This policy is misguided, and will prove to be very hurtful to the western economy and environment. Instead of reform, we are looking at a policy that will likely drive livestock off of the public range and depress an industry," Hansen stated. Congressman Hansen feels that hearings on this drastic change in policy will help show the harmful effects of the Clinton plan. The letter states, "the Clinton Administration's sweeping proposal changing the federal policy for grazing on public lands announced Monday, August 9, will have a significant impact on the economy of the western United States and the ecosystems of our public lands. "I hope that we will be afforded the opportunity to have proper hearings on a policy that is potentially devastating. The controversial nature of this issue requires that Congress hold oversight hearings to examine the potential impact that this sweeping proposal will have on the western United States," Hansen y hf Jl'vf roses for fifteen years. Beaver Civic Arts honors Lee's for com- Fifteen mitted service. Front, L to R: Merrill Lee, Clair Lee, Paul Barton.

We could do further research and compute the number of fledgling actors and actresses, directors and accompanists, behind the scene workers and audience members, and we could come up with an astounding figure of the lives that have been touched behind and in front of the stage lights. The following list will be of interest to those who wonder how we handle the ticket sales and who have done it so efficiently and without a public "thanks" for 12 years. Without Clair and Merrill and Hi and all of the employees of "Lee's" this great community effort would not have been possible. From the bottom of our hearts the people of Beaver and all of Southern Utah thank you! Happy Birthday 1 5, Beaver Civic Arts! The people of Beaver are proud and love the shows that show off our children. P.S. "Paint Your Wagon" will be 1994, directed presented July 20-23, by Nell Smith. Sounds like fun!
