The men will cycle 100 miles a day for 40 days, starting on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on May 15 and ending their ride in Virginia Beach, Virginia on June 27. Although the trip has been affectionately called “Coast to Coast Insanity” by the cyclists’ wives, the effort is officially named “Because You Can.” Those interested in following along with the riders on their trek will be able to do so by logging onto becauseyoucan.org where there will be a day-by-day schedule and map.

He separated his shoulder joint and was unable to ride for several weeks. Through the fall and winter both he and Trickler have trained extensively to sta shape, which is not an easy feat during Utah winters. The men were definitely disappointed by the delay, but the postponement did help in several ways; the extra time has allowed the riders to get in better shape and raise more awareness and money. Unfortunately, the postponement did mean two other hopeful riders were unable to go due to scheduling conflicts. Because of the new timeline, the riders also changed their intended route to avoid spring snow in areas of the U.S. They will now depart Coach Dick Hunsaker to Host Fundamental Skills Hoops Camp A basketball Fundamental Skills Hoops Camp has been organized for Ogden Valley.

Are You Due for Some Fun Family Entertainment? j Nee Tim Trickler and John Lewis of Eden. from San Francisco, make their way through the Lake Tahoe area, Nevada, and Cedar City, and then on to meet up with the Transamerica Trail in Colorado. They are hoping for local riders to join them along the route for a day or two of riding—especially as they pass through Cedar City, Utah and other local areas. Their further research also made them consider bringing along a support vehicle to lighten their load and give them shelter in severe weather, but the men decided they wanted the challenge and the satisfaction of completing this endeavor with “just two guys, their bikes and their packs.” On Monday, May 9 at 6:30 p.m. there will be a “Send Off BBQ” at the Red Moose Lodge in Eden. This is a family event that is free to anyone who wants to join in on the grand farewell. There will be BBQ, swimming (if weather permits), volleyball, and fun!

So bring the gang and Grandma’s Apron Author Unknown Since I don’t think our kids today know what an apron is, an explanation may be in order. The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a holder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children’s tears, and, on occasion, was even used for cleaning out dirty ears From the chicken coop the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes halfhatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold, Grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow while bent over the hot wood cook stove.

Gift certificates available. rel) A Change of Face Skin Care and Bodyworks m, Mommy, Mother; Give ‘her the gift of Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner. It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that oldtime apron that served so many purposes. Something to think about: Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw. » Remember Mother's Day Sunday, May 8, 2005 ... with a lovely gift from yut of area residents EDEN come and enjoy this exciting event.
