Wolf Creek Rezone: Master Plan Amendment – Eric Householder Adjourn The Formation of a President: A Shy Boy from Ohio By Shanna Francis In February we honor two of America’s greatest presidents—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. However, our nation has been led by several great men, including Ulysses S. Grant who, literally, was instrumental in preserving the unity Ulysses S. Grant of today’s most powerful nation in the world. Ulysses S. Grant had not always been an American hero. For much of his early life he felt he was a failure. You see, sometimes we, ourselves, do not even know our true potential. It may be difficult to believe that inside each of us is the ability to do hard things, even heroic things. In school, Grant was very shy and awkward. His peers teased him, calling him “Useless” Grant. But at age 16, his father enrolled him in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, which would eventually change his life and the outcome of the Civil War— even the outcome of a nation. But, again, here at school, he did not excel. One student said of him, “A more unpromising boy never entered the Military Academy.” Fortunately, Grant did have several unassuming character strengths and gifts; perhaps not so readily visible… he was persistent and obedient. You see, he didn’t even want to be a soldier, but obeyed his father and finished school at West Point—though near the bottom of his class… 21st out of 39 cadets! After graduation, he fought for a time in the American Mexican War near the border of Texas. He then returned home to live out his days as a humble farmer. But God had a different plan for Grant. The Civil War broke out in 1861 and Grant was called up to train volunteer troops. It turned out, he was also very good… maybe even great, at inspiring, training, and leading these men—so good that President Abraham Lincoln soon promoted him to Brigadier General and he began leading troops into battle. True to his persistent, determined nature, he never accepted anything less than surrender from Confederate enemy troops. Before long, his old nickname (“Useless” Grant) was traded in for a new one—“Unconditional Surrender” Grant. Until Grant, the Union army was losing most of the decisive battles of the war; it looked like the United States would soon become the Divided States of America. But Grant turned things around—this shy boy from Ohio. By 1864 he was the leader of the entire Union army, and on April 9, 1865, accepted the most important surrender of the Civil War—the surrender of Confederate army leader General E. Lee at Appomattox. The war was soon over, and Grant was the hero of the hour. He later became the 18th President of the recently re-United States of America. Remember that all have talents—some less readily determined than others; however, all are needed and can be used to change outcomes; perhaps, even the trajectory of a country. CARNIVAL cont. from page 1 who enjoyed the crisp, cool air again in 2022. Robert Erekson won the adult speed skating event and Derrick Peterson won the adult barrel jumping contest. Each event, except for the bare-skin belly slide was a resurrection of prior events. The snow sculpture event brought out the creativity energy found throughout the community. The bare-skin belly slide was a new event and was held towards the end of the day. It was attended with much anticipation and cheering! The emcees for the event were Kelly Roundy and Ben Nicholls. Prizes were awarded for the longest distance traveled bare-bellied, and for those sliding with the most style! The 2022 Winter Carnival was spearheaded by Matt Cardon, along with returning organizers Sam Bellarosa, Linda Burton, and Linda Babcock. Appreciation and thanks are extended to them, along with Lee and Star Primm, who did a huge amount of work behind the scenes to make for a successful day. Additional thanks to Brenley Burton for handling registration, Dave Jenkins for announcing, Tommy Lee for the music, Middle Fork Ward Deacons for setting up hay bales, Carter Grow for banner setup, Sam Bellarosa for on-ice judging, Trina and Dan White for managing the cross-country skiing event, snow-sculpture judges Steve and Gabe Waldrip, belly-slide judges Kelly Roundy and Ben Nicholls and Mayor Richard Sorenson, Nate Buttars, and the supportive food trucks: Son Son, Waffle Love, and El Jaripeo. Though especially chilly that day with temperatures starting out at 5 degrees Fahrenheit and “warming up’ into the mid-20s during the day—what organizers called “perfect temps for a winter carnival—there was plenty of warm comradery to go around.
