TOWNS Caleb Warnock DAILY the wheel of ie blood bus Ace Stryker DAILY HERALD When Jerrid Floyd was an Army medic in Iraq in 2006, he saw firsthand the havoc that war can inflict on a body. He saw the burns, the blast injuries and immediately after, how "much blood is needed to save the wounded. But he was often in a place where supplies were short and training was shorter. On several occasions, he found himself unable to do much but refer people to local hospitals in hope that they would find someone to help them in time. "It's one of the most difficult things in the world. It's just hard to tell them 'no' when you know vhat can be done to help them," he said. "I could have just pumped my own blood and given it away, but I wasn't allowed to." When Floyd isn't in the midst of conflict overseas, he's working on a different part of the equation: collecting blood with the American Red Cross.

A pass that sold for $10 has been phased out in favor of a new pass for $12, and fees for annual passes have gone from $25 to $45. The increase is the first since the fee program started in 1997, said Loyal Clark of the Forest Service. The passes will now also be interchangeable with the Mirror Lake area.

CANYON, C2 Living History I ','V C2 IfP Construction slow down increases budget deficit in Mapleton """" r ( .... v t V Janice Peterson DAILY HERALD With a slowing economy and building halted around the county, some believe Mapleton City may be hurting a little more than others. Bob Bradshaw, city administrator for Mapleton, said the city is feeling the pinch like any other around the county, but it is affected a little more because of its dependence on new construction. Unlike other cities in the county , Mapleton has little revenue from retail outlets. Bradshaw said this causes the city to rely more on building fees and property tax for the 30 to 40 units built each year, so any slowdown in building greatly impacts the city. "There's a significant deficit to adjust to in order to keep the budget in balance," he said. Bradshaw said several measures have been taken to make up for budget deficits, including layoffs and halting overtime.

At about 5:30 p.m. at milepost 204 in the canyon, Mell and four others rolled 75 feet down an embankment, while injuries from that accident are unknown, the group was able to climb back to the roadway. Just before 7 p.m., however, a second car lost control in the same location and plowed into four of the people from the first wreck.

DAILY See Ct ACCIDENT, C2 -- "Fire in the hole!" The boom that follows from the replica 1857 Springfield rifle musket puts a smile on Jacob Mika's face. The youngster, his little brother Kyle and mother Sue were at Camp Floyd on Saturday to visit the Civil War Encampment. For a buck a shot, visitors can fire a black powder rifle. "It's weird how they were able to reload while being shot at," said Jacob, noting that the real pros can reload and fire three shots a minute. Plenty of people wandering through the encampment throughout the morning flinched every few minutes as the Mikas and other like them fired the Springfields.
