You may well ask What are these rumors or lies? One is of the tens of thousands of dollars supposedly stuffed in chests of drawers freccrs and the like This is a lie and is not true! The truth as slated people by these humble God-fearin- g is the value was in a painting of a winter scene ($25000000) forever and in the furniture in their store all totally paid for This fortune is where all the How many businesses operate now-los- t so-call- on a cash only basis What is the truth? Do wc delight in truth? If wc arc seekers after truth and brotherly love w hy then do wc spread rumors or lies adding our own twisted version to it and making it worse Arc we not commanded by Christ to be our brothers keeper and to sustain each other in times of need? If this be the case then why do some make statements such as "it’s a fire hazard or Well I've got to keep up with the neighbors or Well at least it happened to the richest man in Richfield Who is Many Helped Our Head Start Program wants to publicly thank and recognize some of the very generous people we have in our community who are willing to give enough to make a difference The Lions Club purchased glasses for a child in our program TcJ Yowcll at Chadwick Hearing Center has donated the use of an diometer for hearing exams au- Most of the dentists in the area have served our Head Start children but special thanks go to Wayne Chisholm and Randall Christensen for serv ing the majority of the chil- dren with medical cards Reed Christensen Ted Christensen Barry Sorenson and RK Glover also served some of the children with medical cards The dentists are only partially reimbursed for their services to families with medical cards which is causing many of them to stop serving clients with Medicaid This is causing a burden on the couple of dentists who will still accept them Sevier Family Practice provided the majority of our Head Start physicals and donated much of the cost We have a volunteer from Community Careers who comes in regularly to help with the children Local businesses have also been very supportive When President Kennedy started the Head Start Program he said that any community that was willing to work for and support a Head Start Program could have one All federal monies given to Head Start have to be reimbursed at a 25 percent minimum by volunteer goods services and time which arc called These services help us meet our quota of d "in-kin- These groups and individuals mentioned above along with the Head Start parents the Head Start staff and their families and many others arc responsible for an excellent Head Start Program that is an asset to our community Sevier “Piute On-sit- e But whatever it was I was targeted by a stupid deer who as most deer decided that the lime to cross the road is to wait until a car goes by and then run Even though wc all had our eyes out as wc w ere to Ephraim to see a play at heading Snow College it's lough to stop "dccr-looking- " half-- the judge of the richest man in Richfield? Have wc become so corrupted that we value the material things of this earth more than wc value the example and teachings of Christ to love one another? Arc wc not here to bear one anothers burdens and lighten one anothers load regardless of w ho they arc where they live or how they spell their last name? Others may have found a sickening thrill out of watching a lifetime of work burned to the ground but when plans are made and efforts started to rebuild again the forked tongue is doing its evil deed These forked tongues are striving to stir up others in opposition to all the good which has been done and will be done Why do some become so filled with hatred that they dance to the tunes of an evil spirit and become His disciple? How thoughtless and mean have people become? iued creatures from car when he in to your (or she) has a mind to smashing And so I became the victim of an animal which I have defended all my life and have tried to point oul the evils of hunting And what do I get? A smashed car For a few moments I really thought I would change my attitude of abolishing the deer hunt especially when I saw the smashed windshield the radio antenna which looked like a pig's tail the power mirror ripped off the door and hang w Button — hat he did to me ing by a thread especially after When I saw the crushed front door and the caved in rear panel I really had a moment or two when I decided that perhaps all deer should be killed once and for all instead of a few at a time every year My wife her brother and his wife were all shaken up by the incident but they couldn't go along with my wanting to just turn around and go home "Iley the car is smashed I wouldn’t enjoy the play anyway" I said But then realizing that the deer were here first and have survived the Division of Wildlife's efforts to manage and control them I decided that since DWR mostly only sells w Oh no not them They weren’t about to waste those tickets And besides it was only body damage to the car It still ran fine and if I'd get off my duff and drive wc could still make the opening curtain licenses and doesn't control deer from jumping in front of or in to moving vehicles I would just have to accept what happened I got thinking suppose the deer's nose had gone through the windshield and killed me Would don't take those kinds of things easily and as my wife will tell you (if she hasn’t already) I am not a pleasant person to be around when I am victimized — especially by a dumb dccr I they have still gone on to the play? After all the car still runs and there’s nothing wc can do for him anyway Let's just stuff him in the trunk and after the play we ll worry about him Although I can't prove it I am reasonably sure that this dccr and d his brother had been waiting on the side of the road for me to come along The brother hurried across in front of me but this dope decided he would rather risk his life and teach me a lesson about deer (or is it deers?) and plow into me Whether he lived or died I don’t know His antics into the side of the car were all done at night and my main concern was net for him Well wc sal through the play and wc very carefully watched for deer on our way home (of course wc didn’t see any They had all crossed the road by then) half-bake- But I keep hearing "It must have been your turn" I didn’t know wc took turns having our cars smashed by dccr If wc do I think I would have checked the schedule and stayed home T STOFF BY Jf5W from the male ones The females all a simple word had buttons on their vests And if for so but it's used different many Dodc and Olive have All that someone has a dainty little bit of a done during their lifetime is help things It’s a noun It’s a verb It’s nose it's called a button nose even an It's sometimes adjective others in need or to help others know "turned up toes button button hard down to (you have it a little nicer Is this a nose ") crime?
