Show Messenger-Enterpris- Page 2 Thursday, July 27, 1995 e, LDS Church plans Trail Center exhibit Manti House inn now offers fine dining to public at regular hours The First Presidency of the LDS Church announced this week that the Church will build a new visitor center in Omaha, Nebraska. Located across the street from the Mormon Pioneer Cemetery in the area known historically as Winter Quarters, the Mormon Trail Center will tell the story of the Latter-da- y Saint exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois, the founding of temporary settlements in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska, and the overland journey to Utah. The center will be completed in time for the Churchs 997 celebration of the sesquicentennial of the Mormon pioneers arrival in Utah and will include 7,000 square feet of exhibit space. Visitors to the center will see replicas of a covered wagon, a handcart, and a log cabin, along with a detailed model of the town of Winter Quarters and a map pinpointing the more than 80 other Latter-da- y 1 Saint settlements established along the Missouri River between 846 and 852. Other exhibits will Latter-da- y explain the Saint emigration program that carried more than 100,000 people 1 1 19th-centu- ry to settlements in Utah and other parts of the American West. The project is under the general direction of the Churchs Historic Sites Committee. The Mormon Trail Center at historic Winter Quarters will offer visitors a glimpse of the faith and courage of early Latter-da- y Saints who left their comfortable homes and sacred temple in Nauvoo, said Elder Stephen D. Nadauld, executive director of the I listoric Department and chairman of the sites committee. In the face of great obstacles, they journeyed to a place of refuge in Utah, where they built homes and a new temple to worship God. The site for the new center is particularly appropriate, Elder Nadauld said, since the Mormon Pioneer Cemetery is nearly all that Saint remains of the Latter-da- y in served settlements the area that as way stations for these pioneers. For the past several years, visitors to the cemetery have learned about the site in a makeshift visitor center in a remodeled house. The current visitor center Western Auction Co.

Smith Can you believe the traffic on Main Street this summer? There are cars everywhere. Do you know what the biggest problem on Main Street is? If you are a pedestrian you cant cross the street without the risk of losing your life! This goes back to a very basic problem we have in society today. We have forgotten the art of courtesy. Webster defines courtesy as: marked by respect for and consideration of others. watch people as they stand on the corners at the crosswalks and wait ... and wait ... and wait for a chance to cross the street. Some even get brave enough to step off the curb but are forced 1 back onto the sidewalk to wait for discourteous drivers. We are all in such a hurry that we cant stop for 30 seconds to let someone cross the street. Or as people are crossing the street, we speed up to get there before them so we wont have to stop. I think its time we started to slow down just a little. Lets see if we can remember what it means to be courteous as we drive and as we deal w ith other people. As you drive down Main Street, look at the crossings. If someone is there, stop and let them cross. I low would you feel if it was you or a member of your family? Can you even imagine how much nicer it would be if we could all remember to be courteous to each other?

A crew went to the reservoir last week and shut off the channels that deliver water into Jets from snow banks more than a mile away. That ended the threat; the water level in Jets is now BUY ADVANCE TICKETS AND SAVE! 1 present the first danger point. The water in Jets was threatening to overflow the interior lining of the pond and contaminate the spring water on the other side of the ridge. Some of those channels that feed the snow melt into Jet's are still 8 to 10 feet deep in snow banks, he said. And that amount of water is causing other problems, too, on Manti Mountain. For one Dirk and Sandra recently moved to Manti from San Francisco where they ran a successful restuarant and catering business. They love the smaller community and the interesting people who are drawn to travel through this area. Dirk credits a commitment to impeccable service to the success they have experienced this first year in business. Presentation is the key. You can have the best food, the best ingredients, best staff, china, atmosphere... But if any part of the service is bad, ones impression of the food is less than the best. If the service is impeccable, good food will be wonderful; great food - even better. Word of mouth has been wonderful advertising. Dirk recalls a couple this last Christmas who stayed at the inn for their honeymoon. Shortly after, they came back with their best friends who were married at the same time. Later, their parents came and stayed at the inn. The value in this business for Dirk Correnti is the personal satisfaction in seeing people enjoying themselves, and having happy customers.
