Panguitch Lake is expected to be good, along with Minersville Reservoir. Rex Reservoir will be closed this season. It was treated last fall to remove trash fish. Nine Mile Reservoir should be good, and Palisades Reservoir should be fair for the opener. We should have a good season after high runoff. There are a lot of fish to be planted later in the season, Camp said. Hatchery fish cannot be planted in high, muddy waters, he explained. When conditions permit, 9 - 11 inch rainbow will be planted.

In Salt Lake City she bought a mirror and a bean pot which belonged to Brigham Young. "At the time, I didn't even know who Brigham Young was, she said. The bean pot was brought to Utah in one of the handcarts and both are part of her collection of antiques and memorabilia. After Mr. Carter retired, we began looking for property in this area. My husband told the real estate agent that I had always wanted to fix up an old schoolhouse. He said he didnt have a schoolhouse, but did have a church. We looked at the church and bought it that very day, she recalled. Restoration and remodeling of the building, including adding a bedroom to a loft area above the chapel, was done by Robert Johnson and other local workers, she said. A fireplace was added to the chapel, and an old sliding partition removed and replaced with a wall. The former permanent schoolroom behind the chapel was con verted to a keeping room by the Carters. The kitchen and bathroom are in the rear of the building, with the bedroom formerly occupied by the schoolteacher now a storage room. A concrete patio and wooden trellis were added by the Carters to the north side of the building, and many shrubs, trees and vines planted. The original fence was refurbished and new, pointed fence posts put in. The original wooden sidewalk leading to the front door was replaced.
