The food collected in the 2007 annual Scouting for Food Drive provided food for an estimated 23,500 of the people in need. However, the food banks within the borders of the Utah National Parks Council provided food to more than 170,000 people and they need more food to help meet those needs. Local Scouts will be delivering food bags between Saturday March 22 and Friday March 28, 2008 for the Boy Scout Annual Scouting for Food Drive. This is a great opportunity to help the Utah County Food Bank meet the needs of the less fortunate in our area. Please place at least one bag - preferably 2 or more bags of food on your door step on Saturday, March 29 by 9 a.m. The local Scouts will then collect them later that morning.

Lowe Trieste Bills STAFF WRITER Dane Christensen's message to the youth was simple: don't start using drugs and if you've started, get help today. "Stay away from the crap. Go to school, get educated, [achieve] your dreams ... This stuff is a disease; it's something we have to take care of every day," he said. Christensen is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict — he started drinking when he was eight, and the drugs followed. "I fell in love with pain pills," he explained. "They became my god. ... It was fun for a while, until I needed them to live — I couldn't go to work or school without them." He spent years recovering, in jails and in rehab centers, but today he is sober, and proud of it. "Today I can see the wreck before it happens ... I have so much more fun now that I'm sober. When I have the urge to use, I always say, 'What's it worth? What's that 15minute high gonna do to my life?'" Christensen also urged parents to be proactive with a struggling child. "Go get help for yourself. Don't wait for your kid," he said. "Go today." • He suggested that we should change our view on the war on drugs — addiction is a disease, and we should treat it as one. We could have "a walk for recovery" like we have walks for cancer. Christensen ended by offering help to struggling youth. 'Today, I love myself," he said. "I tell people 'I'm gonna love you till you love yourself... It helps me to be able to help you.'" "Together Again" Clyde T. Lowe, 92, returned home to his Father in Heaven on Friday, March 14, 2008 at U.V.R.M.C in Provo, Utah. Clyde was surrounded in the last several hours by his loving family.
