Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS Community WEDNESDAY JULY 11, 2001 Long Valley Senior Citizens Center Long Valley consists of the following towns: Orderville, Glendale, Mt. Carmel, Mt. Carmel Junction and Alton in southern Utah. It is close to Zion National Park, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Bryce Canyon, with rich soil for farming and the majestic mountains. The Long Valley Senior Citizens Center is nestled in the town of Orderville next to the fire station. With a lot of work and dedication from some of the citizens of Long Valley, the Center reopened after being closed for one and a half years. Many long hours were spent sanding and painting cupboard doors, painting walls, cleaningthe kitchen and appliances, light fixtures, windows and bathrooms, as well as doing minor repairs and restocking the kitchen trying to get the Center ready to open. There were 29 students and one teacher from the high school in Orderville who donated a total of 1812 hours to help clean. Mary Stevens and Wallace Gibson donated over 350 hours doing the majority of the work. Mary even broke her right wrist r , ft ty IS - .4 4 : t I' '.' I1-!"- !
