The oldest, largest, and best preserved of the remaining Pioneer homes is the Marcus L. Shepherd residence at 210 East-20- 0 North, now owned by Kirk Jones and family. This two story brick home was built in the early 1870's for Mr. Shepherds first wife and family. The foundation is made of green granite which was quarried six miles south of Beaver. The brick was made and burned by Ancil Twitchel and sons at Indian Creek. The bricks were made largerthan they are now. The house has air" the same floors and windows since it was built over a hundred years ago. The workers said it was built so well it will stand the Millennium! The Shepherd's, the first few years, had one big room on the second story they let the Church organizations use for dancing and parties free of charge. Marcus Shepherd came to Beaver in the spring of 1858 from San Bernardino, California. He had been a member of the until Mormon For many years he had been one of the leading men of Beaver, having been the Mayor, Bishop, and a "Counselor to the Stake R. Murdock. John President, One of the interesting things about the old Pioneer house in the jearly days was when the Church Authorities came to Beaver for Conference and staffed with the Shepherd's, the J would send one of the children up in the attic to watch out of the north window for the white topped buggies to come over Manderfield hill. tice 'ears later the house was divi ed into apartments and many people lived there.

Help me to stop thinking of the past And concentrate on the future and what it holds for me. Let me profit from my mistakes And choose the right road to the future. Bring happiness once again into my life. There has been too much sad m LJ Inside... by: M.K. Worley To be or not to be that is the question. Freedom of choice Is a right we are all entitled to, but what has gone haywire us we still have choices, only a line is being drawn through our free- doms. Our constitutions is a part of religion as much as it is a part of politics. Because of our nations debt, suffrage among the people will continue. The constitution was drawn up for our rights to freedom, not to have a line drawn on those rights. Choosing a president is not to choose one of two men, but one of two men who chooses to instill our rights again. Freedom of choice Is not the choice of which "insurance" to choose from, but the choice to have "insurance." Responsibility is taken from man to pay a debt beyond his own. It is making the poor man go broke. Between a nations debt and his own, men are losing their freedom to be or not to be.

Getting the kids to do their homework is always a fun-fillpart of our family's evening The show entertainment. begins when Mom or Dad says, "Do you have any homework?" The answers vary, depending on what T.V. program is just beginning. After an investigation worthy of Dick Tracy, we finally establish that, yes, there is homework to do. Now, the real fun begins. Kids are sent upstairs to complete said homework. This is usually accomplished in the time it takes to complete a Nike commercial which the kids complain about missing. Mom and Dad now begin Quality Control Inspection. "May I see your work?" "I'm done." "May I see it?" "The teacher doesnt care if it's right." "I can't read your handwriting." "The teacher doesn't care." k a few of these "Let's math problems and make sure you're doing them right." "The teacher doesn't care. We just correct our own papers, so it doesn't matter. " During these amusing little conversations with my children, I try to remember two things. First, as a teacher, I know who it is who doesn't care. Second, I want my children to be responsible for the quality of their work. I can force them with threats; I can bribe them with rewards (and I have done both). Inevitably, I must allow them to choose quality for them- . Nancy K. Camp Meets The Nancy K. Camp of the DUP met March 1 1 , 1 996 at the home of Maurine Gale.
