From Moroni Feed Credit Unions Angel Tree Project, the Ephraim Links and affiliated sponsors put on the annual Pinata Festival to raise funds for Sub for Santa, people in Sanpete pulled together to help many needy children. The Sanpete Rotary Club sponsored, cooked and served Ephraim seniors a special Christmas dinner. Students from North Sanpete High School entertained them (along with an authentic sounding New Orleans version of Twas the Night Before Christmas as told by Warren Benencosa, Rotary Clubs President-Elect- ). Then there were projects performed by those who didn't have direct access to the community. Community sen ice can be a bit challenging for inmates who can't leave the prison to perform it. It means that they must become very creative to fulfill this requirement of the Horizons Program, states Doug Ludvigson, education coordinator at Central Utah Corrections Facility (CUCF). Horizons is the program that was dev eloped to help inmates learn new patterns of problem solving to help them avoid repeating their criminal behaviors upon release. So inmates in the CUCF Culinary Arts class created a magnificent gingerbread house. The creation weighed in at approximately 300 pounds, and covered the top of a three by six foot table, stand. ng about 24 inches above the table surface Along with frosted gingerbread, the house was made up of dark and light chocolate covered almonds or other kind of filling, drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze to make stones. These stones went into building sidewalks d This gingerbread house was built by inmates at CUCF as a part of the Horizons Program. The house was donated to Gunnison Valley Hospital and later given away at a drawing. 300-poun- and entry ways, walls, fireplaces and stairs. Pastel mints also made up stairs. String red licorice and candy canes made up the fence. Sugar had been clumped to imitate frozen snow, which covered the level part of the display, along vv ith portions of the roof, similar to how snow would build up on a lawn, walkway and roof of a real house. Chocolate graham crackers were dusted vv ith powdered sugar, and made up the roof and shutters. Glass vv indows were made from a clear candy base. There were winding stairwells to enter one side of the house, and wide straight steps on the other side. The upstairs living area was complete with a rocking horse! The gingerbread house was donated to Gunnison Valley Hospital; the administrator decided that rather than raffle it off, it would be a great gift so they held a draw ing for it on December 23 rd. The Native American inmates were also busy. They made 300 dream catchers and donated them to children spending Christmas at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City. Even senators make New Year's resolutions By Tricia Call The most common New Years Resolutions revolve around losing weight, exercising, stopping smokingdrinkingusing drugs, getting out of debt, watching less television, etc. Variations of these can be found on almost every resolution list.
