But unlike most Utahns, Gary also records such events, not in the clammy pages of a closed diary, but in the pages of this newspaper. 486-499- 0 HES A reporter.. .and his vision of an event is often the "official version for thousands of readers. Its a great responsibility," he acknowledges, "since so many people rely on a reporter to interpret and describe what is happening, to separate the important from the fluff. A sense of fairness and concern is essential. But lets face also the most exciting job one can have. , Vo v, ful in reducing pain and slowing the deterioration process in the muscles. The class will review such topics as diet and nutrition, exer- r iiuyH0s cise and the emotional and social aspects of arthritis. ARTHRITIS tends to occur as victims enter their 4()s. with over half of the population experiencing some form of the disease. In most cases, the often crippling effects of the disease are not visible. Humana Hospital Davis North also holds monthly support group meetings for arthritis victims.

It came in 1958 as he neared the completion of an Air Force hitch. An Orem couple was stabbed to death in New York City and the chief suspect was their son. The Utah connection (the slain husband was stationed in the military) created a'n interest among Rocky Mountain readers, but neither of the Salt Lake dailies had a reporter on the scene. Gary stepped in. "I was planning on leaving the service and applying for a newspaper job in Salt Lake. So I telephoned the Deseret News and started sending in coverage of the murder and trial.

One of his first Davis stories concerned a construction worker trapped in a waterline cave-in- . I shot of 12 photographs before I realized I had forgotten to focus the darn camera, he laughs.

We used to do annual stories on the migrant workers and the expanse of orchards; now the orchards are few and far between. I remember a man once predicted that homes would stretch continually from Bountiful to Farmington; I told him it wasnt 1 cause.) And there was the humanity. (The most touching story I ever covered was one concerning a Mexican incarcerated in the Davis County Jail in the late 1960's. While in jail for suspicion of intoxication, the county discovered he was suspected of mudering a young man in Omaha, Neb. The man pled with me to believe his innocence-a- nd my stories and a later investigation by a Salt Lake attorney proved that he had been hastily convicted in one day without even a proper trial. When he was released from jail, the sheriff allowed me to enter the cell and lead him out to his waiting wife and chil- dren. The episode showed the even conceivable.,.1 remember when the city paid $100,000 for construction of the government complex and there were tax- payers yelling that the price was too high. Today, that complex is worth millions of dollars... A reporter is a pretty good judge of history ; hes part of it. AND HES also been part of the honors.

It was an emotional conclusion to a heartwarming story.) SUCH STORIES were not in Garys mind when, as a youth growing up in Ogden, he decided to become a sportswriter. His father was a farmer who dabbled as a coach and a player for semi-pr- o baseball teams, but Garys talents came in reporting the games, not playing in them. At Weber High he joined the newspaper staff to further his crush on the female editor and, after stringing for the sports desk of several daily newspapers, he received a Salt Lake Tribune" journalism scholarship at Utah State University. He served as sports editor of the college newspaper as a freshman, and, when he enlisted in the Air Force, he used his writing skills in military news information and recruiting-publicit- Seniors to dance The Layton Senior Citizens will hold a dance Saturday, April 5 at the Layton Senior Center, 410 Wasatch Drive, Layton.
