Vilda Esplin & family Thank You Beaver City! ; Recently my niece, Lani Twitchell, was in Beaver to attend the viewing and burial of her father, Doyle Twitchell which was held on Friday, March 6, 1998. If you will remember, this ; . was a very snowy day. About ;. eight inches of snow fell. ; When we woke up in the ' morning, everything was cov-- ; ered. We (my sister Margery, Lani, and myself) all started shoveling. I cleared the step ; and sidewalk, Margery worked on the carport. Lani took the major responsibility that of the ; area from the carport to the road. She was still shoveling at ; ; 11:00 a.m. which was when the ; viewing began. The road past - our place was still covered. So ; called the city office explaining Lani's plight and asked if there . were any chance the snow plow could come and scrape 400 c East so that Lani could get to . her father's viewing and funeral. Ten minutes later the big city ; truck appeared and did that, i Lani was able to get there, a lit- -; tie late, but in time for the gath-- : t ? ering. : We just want to say "Thank ' you Beaver City!" for your con-- siderate service. We all appreciated it. (This is just another example of why Beaver is a nice place to live.)

They got away by going South instead of to their hideout at Robbers Roost. A $1,000 reward was offered to any bandit apprehended but to no avail. The Beaver Courthouse players put on a play about Butch Cassidy and his gang called "Butch Cassidy Bites the Bullet." It was written by a local girl "Julie Ann Farrer," with a lot of talent. It was held in the Old Court House with a lot of local actors, such as Tracy Davis, Hal Smith, Brad Gale, Kirk Jones, and many others. It was directed by Harold F. Chesler. The play was a great success and was asked to present it in Bloomington at the Country Club there which they did. It was an unforgettable experience for the whole cast from Beaver.

When we open up to listen to knowledge we begin to respect the opinions and ideas of others because of the experiences they have faced. When we, instead of listening to knowledge, listen to gossip and rumors others spread, we close ourselves off to the truth. Gossip and rumors lie, leav- ing out many truths of a matter. When we become a part of listening to , "word has it..." the word is gathering us into the arms of manipulation and influence by the person who chooses gossip over finding wisdom. Gossip usually involves someone we are not, directly involved with, in which case the knowledge is of no value and should not affect our direction of When 1998 16-2- 0, i by: Mildred Yardley bpressinquo.net (801)438-289- J : 4 Back" , Phone: v ' . mm Postmaster please send change of address to: The Beaver Press, Box 351 Beaver, Utah 84713 1 ' I i Jo BHS Forensic - Vi'V ; fit Student Qualifies For Nationals On February .26, 27, and 28, three forensics students, Starla Nelson, Brandon Smith, and Sadie Waters, from Beaver High School competed at a district National Forensics League tournament held at Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah.

She notes," The education of my children and other children has always been most important to me. As Colton entered kindergarten, I started attending his class regularly to help whenever possible. Today, continue to be involved in my children's education. Being an active member of PTA has given me the opportunity to work closely with the school, teachers, school board members, and other parents to gain a greater understanding of the challenges in our district." Sandy Brauer's prior experience includes: Local PTA Public Relations Commissioner, Education Commissioner, Belknap PTA President, and PTA Region Director for Washington, Iron and Beaver Counties.

She will also be working with SecondaryStudents in Peer Education training. She is especially excited about the devel opment of the new Beaver County Teen Court, which she says will be a wonderful educational opportunity for Secondary Students. Her goals include teaching children to be physically active, to live healthy lifestyles, to live by the three R's; respect themselves and others and the environment, and finally to become life long learners. She remarks, "Today more then ever, children and teens face difficult challenges, coupled with conflicting messages from the media and other sourcesof entertainment. It is vital that parents and commtinity. members give children and teens clear precise directions, enabling them to make the right choices. She believes, "Teaching and mastering healthy life skills is as important as teaching academics. Having a healthy mind and body is essential to grow and succeed," "However," she continues, "it is not only children and teens who face difficult challenges, parents in addition face tough choic es. Increasingly, both parents are needing to work outside the home, placing extra stress on family members. Single parents face even greater challenges and it is important that the communi ty support their efforts in raising healthy children." Southwest Center offers a wealth of resources in parenting skills, prevention information and just about any concern one might have. Sandy extends an invitation to all to visit her office, located at 757 N. Main (across from True Value Hardware) to meet her and become familiar with the resources available.
