In the early days, many of i the "Old Timers" of Southern ri Utah spent their summers, and A important events such as the 4th of July up that Canyon. When you hike up into the Canyon it opens up into a beautiful meadow. It was an ideal place for picnics and celebrations. The old time Beaver peoto ple also celebrated the 4th of ttti July at Puffer's Lake in the Beaver Mountains. They even WW a dance hall near the built water's edge of the lake for nt those who loved to dance under I IUl stars.

I -- i mm it iC .1 blood type. - Donna went in for surgery the next morning at 7:00a.m. The transplant took approximately 10 12 hours and went as well as could be expected. Two days later they had to do a second surgery to install a pump to release some fluids that were building up, this surgery caused Donna to go into a coma. Her doctors and family were very worried in the days following. On Friday, January 12, 1996 at around 4:30 a.m., Donna woke up. Every day Donna improves a little bit and she is now very aware of what is going on. She is now breathing on her own and if she is able to keep it up for three days they will remove the respirator and start her on soft foods. Donna has Physical Therapy twice a day and each day she gets a little stronger. Donna is not through the woods yet, she still has a lot of fighting left to do but she is a fighter and sport they enjoyed we hope to . have hec home ; dojng upat thejateialsorj "Fiddler's" Canyoh""got its " soon.

The right limb Is often times hard to see because of all the foliage, or worries. Most of us have gone out on a limb only to find the fruit is still beyond reach. So, we continually begin again ending up on the same branch as before. The limb to travel has "sprouts of doubt". These doubts discourage us from going any further, unsure we are even on the limb to get "our fruit". step taken is done with an act of Each well-meani- kindness. It puts us a step closer to the assurance that we will obtain the fruit that is ripe for the picking. When worries are set in our path It is time to stop and rest, until kindness takes a foot hold and starts us again. Thank You Jason Greenwood Thank you for the gifts you left us before Christmas.

Checkers Championship. Richard didn't win, but he participated and won an Honorable Mention for Good ' Anderson Camp Plans gories. Dear Santa Different height, different hair, different address. Richard was different smart. I knew it and he knew it, but he didn't know it the way I knew it and the way I was determined to make him know it. Richard thought he wasnt smart. Now, that's different than "different smart." Richard thought that because he struggled with a second grade reader and agonized over times tables and had given up on science that he wasn't smart. I talked to Mom and Dad. Moms and Dads are better than any diagnostic testing service known to educators in their ability to give a teacher information about how and where a child is "smart". Richard liked to draw, especially things with rulers and protractors, lots of lines and circles. He liked animals. He was so quiet and shy with classmates, but at home he was fun and happy and liked to tell jokes and tease his sisters. He wasn't fast, but he was strong. He played checkers, but dad was having a hard time teaching him chess. Now, this was information a teacher could use. No test scores I've seen yet could have given me the clues I needed to help Richard find his "different smart". What I needed was to see him through the eyes of someone who loved him and could look beyond what he couldn't do and see the real Richard. We were working on a science project in teams. Richard was a silent partner. He sat while the others looked up things in the encyclopedia and took notes. I sat with Richard's team and listened to the information they had found. JRichard, can you use this information on a poster so.the other kids can understand it?" I got him started with some yardsticks and magic markers and reams of butcher paper. He went to town.

Richard had several contributions. We're often programmed to find and nurture only one kind of smart. But there are so many ways to be talented. So many ways to contribute. To find those ways, to care about those ways, makes us all a little smarter. Thank You Thanks to all ofyouforyour friendship during my 30 years of working in the City Office. The daily, brief exchanges of pleasantries with each of you was always enjoyable. My privilege has been to see the orderly growth of Beaver from a population of just under 1500 people to the present population of 2,300 to 2,500 people. This orderly growth, development and improvement to the utilities, sewer, electric, watefv and roads, streets and buildings' has been from foresight and careful planning of the previous and present City Council, Mayor and managers. A few years after I started working, the Recorder at that time remarked, "the city is growing, our budget this year is nearly a quarter of a million dollars." Now the present budget is nearly one and three quarters of a million dollars. This is the price of growth. Thanks to all of you. Sincerely: Lucille P.
