CEDAR CITY – John Westwood was chosen last Wednesday to fill the seat on the Cedar City Council vacated by new Iron County Commis-sioner Dale Brinkerhoff.

Westwood was selected from among 15 applicants when Mayor Joe Burgess broke a tied vote from the city council.

The council voted by writing their votes down and

Burgess collected them. How each councilor voted will be reflected in the minutes.

They initially narrowed it down from 15 to about five candidates, and then to three. The final three candidates were Rich Gillette, Holly Porter, and Westwood. When trying to get the pool to two, there was a tie between two candidates, so Burgess broke the tie, eliminat-ing Gillette.

The four council members then again cast their votes, with two votes for Porter and

two for Westwood. The mayor broke the tie, choosing West-wood.

Westwood said he previ-ously served two terms on the council, finishing his service on Dec. 31, 2007. He applied for the position because it is a one-year term, he said, and he believes with the issues the city is facing the person selected should have background and experience. He hasn’t yet decided whether he will run for a four-year term in the November election.

Burgess said he chose West-

wood because of his experience on the council and the short one-year term. He believes it takes six to eight months to start feeling comfortable on the council and learn the processes, and Westwood will be able to “hit the ground running,” he said.

“I know John,” Burgess said. “I know how he thinks because of my experience here with him.”

He added that all those who had votes from the council were very qualified.

PAROWAN – Iron Coun-ty’s mother town celebrated its 160th birthday Thursday and Saturday with a school program, a town meeting, a lunch and a birthday ball.

The fun started at 9 a.m. Thursday with the tradi-tional student performances. Elementary and high school classes performed dances and sang songs, entertaining a crowd of parents, grandpar-ents and other residents in the Parowan High School gym.

The school program con-cluded with the annual grand march, led by Outstanding Citizen of the Year Jerry Bixman and his wife, Diane. Bixman wore a very worn old hat that has become part of the tradition.

PHS teacher Jim Shurl-eff said the hat originally belonged to his brother, and sat out in the weather for a year after he lost it while riding his horse. It has been worn by the year’s outstand-ing citizen during the grand march for probably around 20 years, Shurtleff said. It was even worn by deceased LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley when he visited the town some years back, he said.

During the grand march, students hold hands and march across the gym after the outstanding citizen and mayor. They are paired with other students of different ages, and they march first in a row of two, then in a row of four, and so on until they span

CEDAR CITY – The Cedar City Aquatic Center had a busy opening weekend with an esti-mated 400 to 500 people there Friday and more than 2,000 throughout the day Saturday, Leisure Services Director Bob Tate estimated.

He said they were com-pletely at capacity Saturday and had to turn people away at the door. Friday and Saturday were free open swim days and though admission fees kicked in Monday, the center was still very busy. Tate said they were selling a good number of passes and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

“It’s just a great place,” he said of the new Aquatic Center.

He added that while Friday was their official opening day, they had a swim night last Thursday for those who had pre-purchased passes and a swim night Jan. 11 for city employees and their families as well as the building’s contrac-tors and subcontractors and

their families.Jan. 11 was their “trial run,”

he added, and they felt like opening one day early for pass holders would be a nice way to thank them for supporting the center and purchasing passes in advance.

CEDAR CITY – The Cedar Chest Quilters’ Guild will be having its fifth annual quilting retreat, the Winter Quilt Festival, next Wednes-day through Jan. 29 at the Crystal Inn.

The retreat will feature numer-ous quilting classes throughout the four-day event taught by many local quilters, as well as a visit from national quilting teacher Bobbie A. Aug.

Aug will be on hand at a trunk show featuring her work on Friday at 7 p.m., and will teach a class during the day Friday entitled “Diamond Kaleidoscope.”

Another trunk show will be on Wednesday, where retreat partici-pates can show off their completed quilts.

Following the trunk show on Friday evening will be an “all-night sew,” where the quilters will be up until the wee morning hours work-ing on projects and enjoying each others’ company. Liz Jacomb, guild president, said that last year’s all-night sew saw participants working on projects until 5:30 a.m.

Jacomb said there will be about 25 classes throughout all four days of the retreat, with everything from a paper pieced color wheel class to a silhouette applique workshop, though some of the more popular classes have already filled up, accord-ing to the guild’s website.

There will be vendor booths and quilts on display in the lobby of the Crystal Inn throughout the retreat, so

anyone interested in checking them out without having to pay to register is welcome, the website said.

Kathy Fazio, retreat co-chair, said the guild is expecting about 150 people at the retreat. Many have already registered, but anyone who is interested may register at any time, even during the retreat. Registration is $20 and each class has a fee as well.

Jacomb said that the retreat has become very popular in the last few

years, probably due to the fun events, like the all-night sew, as well as the relatively low prices for registration and classes.

The Cedar Chest Quilters’ Guild has about 80 members from all over the southern Utah area. The guild meets each Thursday with one business meeting a month, one humanitarian meeting a month and two classes a month and is frequently involved in charity and humanitarian work.

PAROWAN – The city council further discussed moving forward with the proposed Center Creek hydro plant at their meeting Thursday.

City Manager Shayne Scott explained to the council that a decision on which way the city would like to go on the hydro plant would need to be made by the end of this month.

Scott reported that the power board had met earlier in the week to discuss the hydro plant, but didn’t take an official position. The board will meet again this Thursday to come up with a decision that will then be presented to the council at their regular meeting on Jan 27.

Von Mellor, electrical department supervisor, said that there are several options for the plant that the power board and council need to decide upon.

The council also approved two joint facilities agreements between the city and South Central Communication.

One of the agreements reworked an existing power pole agreement allowing South Central to use Parow-an’s power poles, while giving South Central an obligation to maintain and trim around the poles. The other agreement was basically the same, but addressed power poles from the south boundary of the city going up the canyon.

Fire Chief David Schiers presented to the council a proposed firehouse remodel that would help with train-ing space. Schiers said Parowan’s fire department works as a backup for both Brian Head and Paragonah’s

fire departments. They often try to do trainings together, but there is not enough room in the firehouse to hold many firefighters.

Schiers proposed that a wall be knocked out and current storage space be remodeled into a large room that could be used by the fire department for training, as well as a general use public space.

The project would likely cost just less than $25,000, meaning that it would not have to go out to bid and could be completed in-house. Many of the firefighters have even volun-teered to help with the demolition and remodeling on their own time.

Scott said that the city has a savings account with $80,000 that could pay for the project, if the council decides to approve the plans.

Residents Allen and Linda Reese, along with several of their neighbors, told the council that they have been being billed for sewer usage though they are not currently hooked up to the system.

The sewer system is in place near their homes, but they are still on septic systems.

Justin Wayment, city attorney, said that a city ordinance most recently amended in 2003, says that anyone liv-ing within 300 feet of the sewer system will be charged, regardless of whether they are connected or not.

Mayor Don Landes said that he was uncomfortable with charging people for services they are not getting and asked Scott and council member Steve Decker to come up with a pro-posal for possible refunds. The council will discuss the matter further at its next meeting.

CEDAR CITY – After more than seven years of working as a police service dog with Officer Jason Thomas, the popular K-9 Gino died Jan. 3 after he was hit by a car.

Thomas said a memorial service for Gino is planned for Saturday and community members are invited to come celebrate his life and learn more about him. It will be at 1 p.m. at the Heritage Center.

The service is not for the sake of Thomas and his family, he said, but rather for the many residents who have come to love and admire the Belgian Malanois over the years, he said.

Gino had a very good tem-perament, and when Thomas

got him his goal was to have him out meeting people and doing demonstrations as often as possible.

“Animals do amazing things to cross lines,” he said, adding that he believes Gino helped to build a relationship between law enforcement and residents.

Thomas received Gino in September more than seven years ago and before he was even POST certified Thomas had him at schools doing dem-onstrations for Red Ribbon Week. He has participated in Red Ribbon Week demos every year since, made appearances at the annual Scout Expo, and much more.

Thomas said people, espe-cially children, became very attached to Gino and while they wouldn’t remember his name years later, they always

remembered Gino. He said he was continuously being asked his dog’s name, and they even-tually put “Gino” on the door of Thomas’ police vehicle.

At the time of Gino’s death Thomas was in the process of transitioning to working with a new K-9, and Gino was going to retire this spring and spend the rest of his days as a family dog in the Thomas home.

Thomas said at 10 years old Gino was having some health problems and starting to slow down.

“You never know the reasons behind things,” he said, adding that he likes to think Gino was spared more health problems.

For Thomas, who spent an incredible amount of time with his partner and put countless hours and immense energy into making him the best police dog possible, “it’s a huge loss.”

While Gino will be missed tremendously, Thomas doesn’t let that stop him from working with his new dog, Jax, with the goal to make him even more valuable to the community and police department.

He said the biggest compli-ment he can give Gino is to take everything he learned, apply it and improve on it with his train-ing of Jax.

Jax is a Dutch shepherd, which is basically a black and brindle Belgian Malanois, Thomas said. Jax was certified in narcotics about a month ago and the two will leave for patrol training in Salt Lake City on April 4. He has already been helping the police department with street finds, Thomas said.

Community members can expect to see Jax out in the community just like they have seen Gino over the years, he added.

“I think that’s probably the most important part of that (K-9) position,” he said.

Education is what makes the police service dog program successful, Thomas added.

With Oprah Winfrey launching her own cable television net-

work showcasing programs of interest to her and her fans, it seems only fitting that Utah should offer a network targeted to its interests.

Here is the initial program line-up for THE CYCLOPS NETWORK:

DEER IN THE HEAD-LIGHTS – Shooting sport programs are always popular on cable, but this has the potential of attracting female non-shooting viewers as well.

Each hour will begin with a short documentary on a precious deer invading someone’s yard with tender footage of Bambi nibbling on an apricot tree. At this point, each deer will be given a name, age, and weight, along with a heart-warming family history to personalize it.

The footage will then be followed by a similar item on a Division of Wildlife sharp-shooter (name, age – maybe not his weight) with the rest of the episode showing the hunter tracking the deer through the backyard for the ending kill.

The movie “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They” was a successful film back in 1969, giving this TV show a leg up on moving to the big screen as well. Deer, crying children, the sound of gunfire – emotion, drama, and action all in one!

MAULING – Since World Wrestling Federation and Ultimate Fighting bouts consistently rank high in cable television ratings, the Cyclops Network will program a weekly hour of LDS Church basketball.

You’ll still have posturing, leering, and sharply thrown elbows, and bloody lips, along with sanitized grunts like “Flip” and “Snap.” Put a cage around the cultural hall floor and watch the ratings soar.

UTAH’S TOP CHEF – The Utah version of the popu-

lar cable reality series will pit a panel of local chefs compet-ing to produce intricate Utah delicacies. As an example, the chefs will be given a box containing nutmeg, fresh salmon, oatmeal, and cream cheese – and then instructed to make a jello salad using all of the ingredients.

Episode Two might entail the baking of a Mormon Muffin using the ingredients found in “funeral potatoes” or a casserole using venison from DEER IN THE HEAD-LIGHTS. Extra points will be given to the chef who can successfully pair meals with caffeine-free diet Coke.

THE REAL POLITI-CIANS OF CAPITOL HILL – As a take-off on the popular cable “Real Houseviews” series, this will show the

bickering, the backroom deal-ing, and the emotional rigors of getting bills passed in the Utah Legislature.

The first episode has already been shot: Sen. Dan Liljenquist’s attempt to remove Sen. Mike Waddoups as Senate President ending with Sen. Liljenquist being shunned at the next legisla-tive gala and talked about over root beers at Pace’s.

GLEEFULLY OURS – Since Utahns have performed well on “American Idol,” this show is a no-brainer. Have Utah glee clubs compete and be judged by an irascible panel comprised of David Archuleta, Gladys Knight, and a grumpy Rocky Ander-son. Let the sparks fly and the songs soar!

You have to admit, the Cyclops Network sounds a lot more entertaining than 90 percent of the fluff on your regular channels. We’ll give Oprah a run for her money.

The views expressed in this column are the opinion of the writer and not necessarily those of the ownership or man-agement of this newspaper.

To the Editor:Given the recent negativ-

ity in politics, a positive and civil political process recently occurred in our community.

As a citizen, a small business owner, past president of the local Rotary, and past regional commissioner of AYSO soccer, I have been attending City Coun-cil and have been active in voic-ing the opinions of my peers and advocating for our community.

Recently, the City Council elected an appointed council member to replace Dale Brinkerhoff. I was honored to be one of the two finalists out of the 15 members of our com-munity who applied to serve as a member of the City Council.

The process was civil and cordial. I am heartened that in spite of the discouraging ugli-ness attributed to even local politics, these citizens sought to serve, and I was proud to be among them.

I have long wanted to serve our community further in this capacity and was understand-ably disappointed in the mayor’s decision to break the tie in favor of John Westwood.

I look forward to the oppor-tunity to be a NEW voice for the people of Cedar City and com-mon sense for our community when I run for City Council in the election this November.

To the Editor:State Representative Carl

Wimmer plans to introduce a bill to eliminate the requirement for a state concealed firearm permit to carry a loaded concealed firearm. The legislation would change nothing with regard to people with bad judgment – they'd still be banned from even touching a gun or ammunition.

As a state-certified firearms instructor, I have a vested inter-est in keeping the requirement for training and licensing of those who choose to carry a gun.

On the other hand, as a freedom-loving American, I

oppose those same require-ments because one should not be required to seek permission of the State to exercise a Consti-tutionally-enumerated right.

Instead, I urge all gun-owners to voluntarily get appro-priate formal training in firearm safety and proficiency as well as in the laws regarding the use of deadly force – even if it is not required.

Three other states have dropped the licensing require-ment with no adverse effect. I therefore endorse Wimmer’s proposed legislation.

Blaine NayCedar City

To the Editor:Good governance begins

with fiscal restraint. At the behest of the County Manager, Reed Erickson, last Monday the Iron County Commission passed a resolution to begin the process of acquiring $2 million in public debt for the Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) and the Cedar City Aquatic Center.

That’s right – $1 million for SUU’s SUMA and $750,000 for the Cedar’s Aquatic Center. The cost to acquire this debt—a paltry $250,000!

Both Dan Webster and Dale Brinkerhoff ran on a platform of limited government. Gentlemen, strike one. Lest you forget what

happened to Commissioner Wayne Smith last Convention, remember the taxpayers are watching.

Too often politicians fail to discuss the “unintended consequences” of polices and programs because politicians focus on the desirability of the goals they proclaim and not the incentives and constraints created thereby. This new debt amounts to new taxation. Law-makers must exercise constraint in matters of economic policy.

The price of greatness is responsibility. Are you going to be responsible or do we have to replace you as well?

CEDAR CITY – The Cedar City Area Chamber of Commerce had its 60th annual awards and installation ban-quet, a “Night of Excellence,” on Thursday presented by CML Metals.

The Chamber of Com-merce and sponsors gave 12 awards to individuals, busi-nesses and organizations in the community who have made

significant contributions of service or influenced the com-munity profoundly.

A video featured each award winner, except Lois Bulloch, who received the Chamber CEO Award. Bulloch just retired as a county commissioner and instead of showing a video, a letter from Gov. Gary Herbert was read. Herbert spoke of Bulloch’s service and dedication.

Bulloch was very touched as she accepted her award,

and said she couldn’t believe the governor would send such a nice letter on her behalf. Chamber CEO Scott Jolley told her later that the governor had wanted to come but had been unable, and had been glad to send the letter.

SUU Vice President for University Relations Dean O’Driscoll was the master of ceremonies, and said he was glad to have the event back at SUU, in the Hunter Confer-ence Center’s Gilbert Great

Hall. The past couple years it has been at the Crystal Inn. Jolley said the move back to SUU allowed them to sell more tickets, and they had about 300 people there that night.

Jolley spoke during the event and told the group that 2010 had been a good year of growth for the chamber, dur-ing which they reintroduced the ambassador program and introduced the sustaining part-nerships program.

The chamber’s sustaining

partners on the presidential level are the SUU Thunder-birds, Southern Utah Uni-versity, the Cedar City-Brian Head Tourism Bureau, Cedar City Corp., Big Lots!, and Southwest Applied Technol-ogy College. Ambassadorial level sustaining partners are Coca-Cola Bottling of Cedar City, the Grand Lodge at Brian Head, and Energy Solutions.

Though the focus of the event was the award winners, it also included the passing of the

gavel from Board of Directors Past Chair Chris McCormick to 2011 Chair Derek Morton.

The 2011 Board of Directors and staff were also introduced, including Morton, McCormick, Jolley, Glen Barker, Dolly Trujillo-Wearn, Brady Willardson, Sher-rie Hansen, Alishia Esplin, Mat Sorensen, Mike France, Brennan Wood, Craig Isom, O’Driscoll, Dan Webster, Maria Twitchell, Holly Porter, Teresa Harrison, and Jeff Burgess.

CEDAR CITY – City Treasurer Wendy Bonzo said Friday that a computer glitch that added a penalty to all Cedar City utility bills had been fixed and residents could view their new bill amounts online.

She said a problem with the software caused a penalty of around $2.50 to be added to all 7,707 bills the city sent out. She said the amount var-

ied because it was a percent-age of the actual bill.

The problem has been resolved, she added, and those who would like to see their bill online may visit www.xpressbillpay.com. This is also the web address prop-erty owners may pay their bill at, if they prefer to pay online. Those who have not used the website in the past will have to set up a username and password.

Those who have not yet paid their bills should deduct

the penalty amount and pay that, and those who have already paid will receive a lower bill next month because it will become a credit, she said.

Bonzo added that while the penalty was added in error to most bills, those who paid their bill late last month do actually owe the penalty amount.

Bonzo said anyone with questions about their utility bill is welcome to call the city office at 586-2950.

IRON COUNTY – Every week, volunteers with Court Appointed Special Advocates help children in Iron County who are in the legal system by providing stability and building a relationship of trust.

Gwen Knight, CASA coor-dinator for the Fifth District Guardian ad Litem, said the volunteers work with kids of all ages. Some of them are in foster care and some of them are still with their parents, but all are in the court system because of dependency, neglect or abuse.

CASA volunteers work

with one or two cases and meet with the children weekly, estab-lish a relationship, and report back to Fifth District Guardian ad Litem Lance Dean about how the children are doing and what their needs are. Any needs that the children have will be communicated to the caseworker, Knight said.

CASAs spend time with the kids every week, and their purpose is to have fun with the child. They can take them on outings to the library, to a movie, to get ice cream, or do other fun things, help them with their homework, or just listen to them, Knight said.

She said they are in need

of more volunteers and will be having a training beginning Feb. 3. The training will run every Thursday through March 24, from 6:30 p.m. until about 8 p.m. However, Knight added, those who would like to vol-unteer but are unable to attend that training time should still contact her and she can arrange independent study.

Training is free and vol-unteers must be 21 years old or older and able to pass a background check, she said. She invited anyone who has an interest in the program or who would like to learn more to contact her. She can be reached at 865-5330.

CEDAR MOUNTAIN – Reservations are now being taken for participation in this year’s Snow Fest.

For the third year skiers and showshoers will be able to play in the heavy snowpack in the mountains above Cedar City at the Snow Fest 2011 on Feb. 5 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Participants will be able to use cross-country skis and snow shoes, receive instruction and have shuttle transportation, all for free. The event features the Dixie National Forest’s new Deer Valley Non-motorized

Winter Recreation area about 22 miles east of Cedar City on Highway 14.

Snow Fest 2011 expects to draw many beginners and intermediate participants who can sign up for the classes in cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. Advanced skiers can also take advantage of the groomed trails and rolling hills of the Deer Valley area.

While the Deer Valley Non-motorized Winter Recreation Area is designated for those only on skis and snowshoes, Steve Robinson, recreation planner for the Dixie National

Forests said there are plenty of other areas for snowmobiles.

Long-time cross-country skier Topher Mason said the area is great for skiing and now that it has groomed trails, will be even better.

Event coordinator Anne Smith has arranged for activi-ties that include instruction, shuttle vans, games and snacks. Due to parking limitations on Highway 14, shuttled vans are required either from SUU or from Midway on Highway 14. Volunteers interested in help-ing with instruction and event activities can contact Smith at

(435) 590-8018.The event is sponsored

by Southern Utah University, SUU Outdoors, Dixie National Forest, Cedar Mountain Nor-dic Ski Club, Topher Mason, Rainbow Sign and Banner, Cedar City, Zion Adventure Company, Coca-Cola, Utah Sign and Barricade, Cedar Breaks National Monument and Image Pro.

Participants must sign up in advance with waiver forms and the free equipment rentals. For information and signup, call SUU Outdoors at 865-8704.

I have lived in Utah for all of my 25

years and every winter I com-plain to anyone who will listen about how much I hate the snow. And the cold. And the wind, ice, lack of sun-light and every-thing else that comes with this frigid season.

“So why don’t you move?” you may ask. The answer is that I really love Utah, especially southern Utah, during the other three-quarters of the year.

Is there really anytime better than summer-time in our community? There are endless festivals, community celebra-tions, plays, parades, rodeos and holidays, not to mention the endless opportunity for outdoor recreation right at our back-door.

But come winter, weekend excite-ment seems to come to a screeching halt. At least that’s what I thought.

In an attempt to save myself from a seemingly endless winter spent inside watching “Toy Story” with my two-year-old son, I decided that I would try some-thing new: winter recreation.

With the moral support of my husband, we decided to try our hand at snowshoeing, and after hearing about the winter yurt at Cedar Breaks, our plan was set.

Our little family of three, along with my husband’s sister and her husband, packed up the SUV and made our way up to Cedar Breaks.

If you’re driving from Cedar City, make your way to Parowan and head up the canyon as though you are going to Brian Head. Continue on U-143 past

Brian Head until you get to the junction with U-148 that heads to Panguitch.

There is a fairly obvious parking area and groomed trail marked with orange poles. We hiked from this parking area about one mile on what is the snowed-in road to Cedar Breaks before we made it to the yurt.

The yurt is typically staffed by volun-teers who have hot cocoa on hand, but the day we went we found it to be empty. We were, however, greeted along the way by several rangers on snowmobiles who asked if we had questions and gave us directions. And luckily we were all so hot and sweaty from the hike that we wouldn’t have wanted any hot cocoa if there had been any.

Once you reach the yurt, you can continue on about another mile on the Alpine Pond Trail that goes to the Chess-

man Point overlook. With the almost forty pounds of two-year-old my husband was carrying on his back, we decided that the yurt was good enough for us and we made our way back.

I must say that snowshoeing is some-thing I could definitely see myself doing in the future. It was a beautiful day with beautiful scenery and I finally felt like I was enjoying winter to its fullest and tak-ing advantage of the year-round outdoor opportunities we have in our area.

We rented our snowshoes from SUU’s outdoor center. They are $8 per day or $12 for two to three days, less if you are a student. Keep in mind that they are not open on Saturdays or Sundays, so if you’re going to rent them over the weekend, you’ll be paying $12. You can also rent them from a couple of shops in Brian Head for $15 to $18 per day.

“The Dixie Resource Advisory Committee has responsibility to recommend forest management projects for about $1.5 million in 2011,” said Rob MacWhorter, Dixie National Forest Supervisor. “Participation on the RAC is a great opportunity to impact the next several years of forest management in southwestern Utah.”

The RAC consists of 15 members representing a wide range of interests. Replacement members attend meetings with the 15 RAC members, ready to fill in a per-manent vacant position upon approval by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. The Dixie RAC is seeking a replacement member in the following area:

attention will be given to those who have demonstrated the ability to work collabora-tively with others of different viewpoints.

Citizens interested in applying for RAC member-ship are encouraged to retrieve an application form (AD 755) on-line at http://www.fs.usda.gov/dixie or from any local Forest Service office.

Applications must be received at the Dixie National Forest by 5 p.m. Jan. 31, ATTN: Gretchen Merrill-RAC, 1789 North Wedgewood Lane, Cedar City, Utah 84721.

the entire gym.Vyonne Chamberlain,

who has played the piano for the grand march for decades, combines many of her favorite songs in the medley. She plays “God Bless America,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “This is My Country,” “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and more.

Scott Doubek, who retired last summer after 14 years of teaching and PHS and nine years as the school’s principal, said it was nice to relax this year and just take photos of his grandchild. He added that the program is one of the things that is “uniquely Parowan” and was always something he loved.

School Board Member Alan Adams spoke briefly before the grand march and told those attending that what they had seen that morning was education at its best, as every student was highly involved and learned about the city’s history.

After the program there were tours of the school, which has undergone extensive con-struction and renovation the

past few years, and a lunch. The day’s celebration ended with a town meeting in the PHS auditorium where Bixman was honored and residents Sandra and Lloyd Benson spoke.

Mayor Don Landes intro-duced Bixman, who has vol-unteered with the Iron County Fair, Parowan Chamber of Commerce, Parowan Theatre Board, Economic Develop-ment Committee, Main Street Committee, and much more. He is the designer and web-master of the city website, www.parowan.org, does the lighting for the Aladdin Theatre, and is a lighting consultant for PHS.

Bixman spoke briefly and said he would like to thank all the volunteer firefighters and other volunteers in the com-munity for the work they do.

Bixman and the Bensons were given mantle clocks that said “Families are Forever.” The theme of this year’s birthday celebration was “Families: The Settling of Parowan.”

Sandra and Lloyd Benson both spoke about the history of the community, and told stories of people who were dedicated to their families and the com-munity.

There was also a short, humorous skit by Kyle and Marvalynn Pace and a perfor-

mance from the PHS choir.The Parowan Birthday

Ball was in the Iron County Fairgrounds building Saturday night with music from The Clique. Three members of the group – Gary Jensen of Parowan (keyboard and vocals), Lance Whetten of Cedar City (drums), and Alan Grimshaw of Enoch (keyboards) – played together in high school and college.

Thirty-five years later they got back together, adding a cou-ple other band members, guitar player Howard Wardle said. Roger Grimshaw, an Enoch resident, plays the bass for the band. Most of the members live in Las Vegas now, except Roger Grimshaw and Jensen. Jensen lives in Salt Lake City, Alan Grimshaw said.

The band performed at the birthday ball at no charge, Wardle said. They enjoy play-ing at those types of events. It is nice to see people coming out and having fun as families, he added.

The birthday ball also included a floor show featuring local family talent. The Leavitt family sang; Debbie Johnson’s granddaughters, daughter-in-law, and three of her daughters clogged; and the Thatcher fam-ily provided a fun and energetic piano performance.

“It really is a dream come true,” she said.

A lot of work and tough decisions had to take place before the center could become a reality, but seeing everyone loving it so much made it all worth it, she said.

“Today’s of day of, just, celebration,” Barnes said.

She said she was also happy to see people of all ages their enjoying and checking out the center. She had even seen

101-year-old Homer Jones. She said it is a center for everyone and promotes health and recre-ation for community members.

Barnes added that with the center open, time is running out for those who want to purchase bricks for the Rotary Youth Lounge, a place for kids to spend time, study or play while waiting for their parents.

In a game that Cedar girls' basketball coach John Elison called “ugly” and “boring” the Lady Reds took down formal rivals the Lady Flyers of Dixie (1-3, 6-6 overall) with a score of 38-31 last Tuesday before slaughtering the Hurricane Tigers (22, 6-5 overall) 63-39 last Thursday for a five game winning streak, the first for the Lady Reds since a preseason run in 2008.

“I'm really proud of the ways the girls are handling themselves,” Elison said. “We have the right tools with the girls we have and I feel comfortable to run anything with them and have them do anything.”

The game against Dixie was an exercise in control and patience for the Lady Reds. The Lady Flyers started stall-ing the ball early in the first quarter and kept it up until the final few minutes of play.

“Anyone who bought tick-ets should get a refund,” Elison remarked after the game. “It was very ugly and very bor-ing.”

Dixie's slow offense proved challenging to the Lady Reds who had to fight their desire to score and handle their few possessions with care.

“There's not much you can do and that's the hard part,” Elison said. “The biggest chal-lenge is that we would play some good defense then we'd get desperate to put some points on the board and then

go down and do something stupid. That is a challenge.”

Going into the fourth down 17-27, the Lady Flyers came alive and put up 14 points to Cedar's 11, but the lethargic first three quarters doomed Dixie to the loss.

Courtnie Duncan had 12 points in the game, all from 3-pointers, and Rachel Nakken hit 10.

Cedar's desire to put points on the board was fulfilled on Thursday as they exploded out of the first quarter against Hur-ricane with a 21-5 advantage. Cedar continued its dominat-ing offensive performance in the second quarter gaining a 36-12 lead at the half.

Hurricane came alive in the second half with Angela Shields and Taylor Steglich

both scoring 11, but the Lady Reds kept up and took the 24-point victory.

Amanda Johnson set a career record, hitting 21 points, including three 3-pointers while Duncan sunk 15 with nine rebounds.

Cedar improved to second place in Region 9 at 4-1 (10-4 overall) behind rival Canyon View who remains undefeated in region with a 5-0 record.

Cedar traveled to Pine View on Tuesday (results were not available at press time) and next take on the Lady Falcons of Canyon View next Tuesday.

In wrestling, one man's performance can make a dif-ference for a team and in last Wednesday's bout between Cedar and Canyon View, that one performance came from Cedar's 171 weight class Mason Williamson.

The competition up to that point had been tough and intense. The first three matches bounced back and forth. Cedar's Ty Bulloch won a 12-1 decision in the 103 category, but Canyon View came back with a 4-0 win for Michael Reeves at 112 and an identical score for Braxton Duncan at 119 giving the Falcons a 7-4 advantage.

Cedar's Kolby Lloyd had the first pin of the night against Alex Baldwin in the 125 class followed by another Cedar pin from Cody Hone at 130 giving Cedar the 16-7 lead.

Canyon View regained the lead after pins from Brad Nixon at 135 and Dylan Stoor at 140,

but Cedar snuck back in after a 10-0 decision for Larson Cot-tam who toughed out the final seconds of the final round with an injured leg.

The one point lead for Cedar ping-ponged back to Canyon View after Alvino Baldovinos at 152 pushed past a tied first round to take the 5-2 decision, bringing the Falcons up 22-20.

The final lead change of the night came from Cedar's Carson Ludlow who, at 160, pinned opponent Jacob Hansen with 51 seconds left in the first period.

Then, with a 2-point advan-tage over Canyon View, Wil-liamson came in and broke up the back and forth party. Nearly losing it, Williamson went from almost being pinned himself to pinning opponent Santiago Palacio midway through the second round.

Southern Utah gymnas-tics made the most of a home crowd of over 5,000 in the Centrum Arena on Friday night to upset No. 5 UCLA, 194.750-194.425.

The Thunderbirds were led by Brooke Cersosimo in the all-around with a career-high 39.150 and Shannon Coughlin on floor as she cap-tured the title with a 9.850.

“This was an incredible meet tonight,” coach Scott Bauman said at the end of the night. “The crowd really made all the difference. I don't want to take anything away from our gymnasts, but that crowd was what really helped us win by three-tenths tonight.”

The Thunderbirds got off to a rocky start as true freshman Doniele Volopich landed short on her vault, scoring an 8.950. However, the team bounced back and finished the rotation 5-for-5 with Bailey Pendley leading the way with a 9.875.

The Bruins also encoun-tered a slow start, suffering a pair of falls on bars. Fol-lowing the first rotation, the T-Birds had a lead of 48.825 to UCLA's 48.250.

Southern Utah recorded another 5-of-5 rotation on bars with Cersosimo record-ing a career-high 9.750 on the event to pace the Thun-derbirds. Volopich wasn't far behind as she put her vault behind her and scored a career-high 9.700 on bars to tie with Lauren Jeffrey (9.700) for second on the team.

However, UCLA bounced back on vault, scoring a 49.125 to take the lead 97.375 to 97.225. The Bruins were led by Olivia Courtney as the freshman tallied a 9.900 to win the event.

After a seven-game win-ning streak, the Lady Rams of Parowan High have lost their groove.

Last week saw them lose games 3 and 4 in a losing streak that is putting them in serious danger of settling at the bottom of Region 13.

The Lady Rams first faced off against the Lady Cowboys from Kanab (2-0, 6-4 overall) and found themselves in the hole early on, scoring only 5 points to Kanab's 15 in the first quarter.

“We didn't do well in offense,” Parowan coach Dough Rogerson. “We kept missing the easy shots and we just can't do that.”

Rickie Warr managed to sink 14 points for the game, but the first quarter hole was too deep for the Lady Rams to dig out of. Kanab's offense was relentless with three play-ers hitting double digits. In the end, Kanab took the 49-37 victory and another chunk from Parowan's once perfect record.

Parowan then faced the Lady Beavers on home turf in a tough rivalry game where an anemic offense once again plagued the Lady Rams.

“We have to make those easy shots, that was going to be the key to the game,” Rogerson said. “We cannot go down and not score because Beaver is always going to score.”

Parowan's offensive lack-ing still allowed for a close game against the Lady Bea-vers (1-1, 9-3 overall). The lead changed four times in the first three quarters with Chennin Benson leading Parowan's team with 10 points.

A white-hot and unan-swered 10-point run from Beaver's Lexi Moss, which included two 3-pointers, nailed the lid on Parowan's chance for victory. The rest of the game saw more and more field goals hit from Beaver and more and more foul shots

missed from Parowan.Moss ended the game

with 13 points for Beaver's 43-34 victory.

Sitting with a 0-2 record (7-4 overall), Parowan is in fifth with only Cross Creek behind them. Parowan faced Enterprise at home on Tues-day (results were unavailable

at press time). Their last match with the Lady Wolves (2-0, 12-1 overall) saw the Lady Rams lose 53-20 in a non-region competition.

Even with this run of losses, Rogerson still sees hope for this season.

“This is one of the toughest regions in the state,” Rogerson

said. “Earlier in the year we were making those shots and now the kids are struggling a bit. They have a little more pressure with region, but our region is tough and our kids will bounce back.”

Parowan hosts Cross Creek Academy this Friday at 5:15 p.m.

Former Southern Utah University Thunderbird Keli’i Zablan has signed a minor league contract to play for Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners.

Zablan, a former infielder turned pitcher, was picked up by the Mariners after recently impressing Seattle scouts at an Invite-Only tryout held at the Mariners spring training complex in Peoria, Ariz.

“We are always excited to see a T-Bird get a chance to play at the next level,” SUU coach David Eldredge said. “Keli’i is even more special because he was a very accompl i shed position player and now he gets a chance to go the next level as a pitcher. We are very proud and happy for Keli’i and wish him the best as he continues his professional career.”

Zablan spent last summer pitching for the River City Ras-cals, an Independent League team out of the St. Louis area

that plays in the Frontier League. The right-hander was named the Frontier League’s Rookie of the Year after post-ing a 2-1 record with a 3.15 ERA in his 28 appearances for the Rascals. He finished 14 games and struck out 29 in 40 innings all out of the bullpen. Zablan helped the Rascals to a

Frontier League Championship Series title after he pitched 3.1 scoreless innings of relief in his three appear-ances during the playoffs.

The Ewa Beach, Hawaii native was a t h r e e - t i m e All-Conference infielder for the Th u n d e r b i rd s from 2006-09. He pitched out of the

bullpen in his final two seasons for SUU, appearing in eight games, posting a 1-0 record and made two saves as a junior before posting a 3-1 record in 11 appearances out of the pen his senior season.

Zablan will find out where he will report for 2011 spring training in the coming weeks.

After watching him turn Southern Utah University’s football fortunes around in the past three years, SUU’s administration has come to an agreement that will keep head football coach Ed Lamb on the SUU sidelines for the foreseeable future, extending his contract through the 2015 season.

In the three seasons since inheriting a team that went 0-11 in 2007, Lamb has overseen the resurgence of Thunderbird football, guiding the team to pro-gressively better seasons each year.

This year he led the Thunder-birds to the Great West Conference championship, the program’s first out-right con-ference championship since it made the move to NCAA competition in 1986. That feat helped put him on the Eddie Robinson Award list, making him SUU’s first candidate for the prestigious award in the school’s history.

“I feel very fortunate that SUU has deemed me worthy of a contract extension,” Lamb said. “(SUU Director of Athletics) Ken Beazer and President Michael Benson have a clear vision of future success for SUU football, and I'm so grateful to be a part of that plan.”

Lamb’s first team went 4-7, and although the win total was modest ,that team broke a 19-game losing streak, picked

up its first road win in four years and placed 11 players on the all-Great West Conference squad. In 2009, his second at the helm, the Thunderbirds improved to 5-6, the

team’s best mark in five sea-sons, had two all-Americans, 12 all-conference performers and was ranked among the nation’s

leaders in six major statistical categories.

Last year, in addition to winning the

G W C crown with a perfect 4-0 mark (and an overall 6-5 record), SUU had its first con-sensus NCAA Division I all-American, ranked among the nation’s

leaders in 10 major statistical categories and dominated the all-GWC team, with 17 representatives, including 10 first-team selections.

“I couldn't be happier with Coach Lamb's leadership and the current direction of our football program,” Beazer said. “Under Coach Lamb and his staff's leadership, Thunderbird football has made substantial

improvements both on the field and in the classroom, winning the university's first outright football conference championship and academic improvement award in the same calendar year.”

Lamb’s original contract was for five seasons. The three-year extension will renew that five-year commitment.

Southern Utah scored its final 19 points from the free throw line and held off a determined Centenary come-back to pick up its first Sum-mit League road win since the 2008-09 season Saturday night, 88-75.

Kyle Davis led the way for the Thunderbirds with career-highs of 21 points and 14 rebounds while Ryan Brimley hit 10 second-half free throws to finish with 18 points and Matt Massey added 13.

In a game that was marred by fouls and technical fouls, the teams combined to shoot 71 free throws. Southern Utah converted 29-of-34, including 22-of-23 in the second half and 19-of-20 in the final 6:10. Davis, Massey, Jackson Stevenett and Jake Nielson all fouled out for SUU, while Centenary’s Max Naswaasah fouled out and Jonathan Blount was disqualified after receiving two technical fouls.

“I was proud of the way our guys played hard and with intensity,” SUU coach Roger Reid said. “We stepped up at the free throw line when it counted and hit 29-of-34, including all those free throws down the stretch; that was a sign of mental toughness which was nice to see.”

Massey scored eight of 12 consecutive SUU points as the Thunderbirds took an early 12-2 lead but the Gents rallied when Blount came off the bench to score seven points and help pull Cente-nary back within 15-13 with 11:12 to play in the half.

SUU slowly built another lead, however, pushing the advantage to 37-26 on a put-back and a free throw by Davis. The Thunderbirds’ biggest lead of the half came with 51 seconds remaining in the half when Ramell Taylor picked off an errant pass and drove the length of the

floor for a dunk and a 46-30 SUU advantage. Nakwaasah scored on a layup with eight seconds to go in the half to leave SUU with a 46-30 edge at the break.

SUU shot 65.5 percent in the first half, its second-best half of the season, after hitting 19-of-29 shots in the period. Davis hit 5-of-6 shots and 3-of-3 free throws to tally 13 points in the period while Massey hit 5-of-6 shots and had 11 points at the break.

Southern Utah built leads as high as 18 points in the second half but Centenary went to a full-court press and chipped away at the lead, cutting it to single digits on a 3-point play by Naswaasah with 2:08 to play but the Thunderbirds hit five free throws – four by Brimley – to push the lead back to 13 points and Centenary didn’t ever get back within single digits.

Brimley hit eight straight

free throws in the final two minutes to seal the win for the Thunderbirds.

“We wanted to take advantage of our height tonight,” Reid said. “I told Kyle (Davis) before the game that I didn’t care if he scored but I wanted him to go after every rebound. He wound up with 14 rebounds and 21 points and that’s what hap-pens when you play hard.

“I was extremely impressed with the way (Centenary) played tonight,” Reid added. “They could have folded many times but they continued to play hard, they continued to scrap, they continued to play defense and they never ever went away. If they keep playing like that they’re going to have some success.”

SUU improved to 5-12 overall and 2-5 in Summit League play while Centenary dipped to 0-19, 0-8 in confer-ence games.

The Thunderbirds were led by Cersosimo as the junior recorded a 9.800 and was followed by Ari Lamb with a 9.750. The Bruins had the most problems of the night on floor as a pair of gymnasts suffered falls and a third was given a neutral deduction for stepping out of bounds. In the end, UCLA would finish the rotation with a team score of 47.950 as the Thunderbirds retook the lead 145.850-145.325.

The final rotation was close as UCLA's first five gymnasts did not score any-thing lower than a 9.775 on beam, including a 9.875 from Courtney who ultimately

took the beam title. However, Southern Utah also finished strong, going 6-for-6 on floor with Coughlin leading the way with a gold-medal per-formance of 9.850. The effort spelled victory for the T-Birds with the eventual 194.750-194.425 win.

Cersosimo finished sec-ond in the all-around with her 39.150 as UCLA's Olivia Courtney took the title with a 39.300.

Southern Utah will be back in action on Friday when the Thunderbirds host Sacra-mento State. The meet in the Centrum Arena is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

At 189, Cedar's Bret Good-win improved over a 5-5 tied opening round, ending with a pin in the third. Canyon View's Cameron Causey came close to a pin in the final seconds of the first round and sealed the deal in the second for the 215 win.

For Cedar's Ludlow, the win is just another step on the way to his team's goal.

“This is good,” Ludlow said. “And now we are on our way to take first in region and then do well at state.”

The Thunderbirds opened the indoor track season with record-breaking performances at the Snake River Open Friday and Saturday.

Both the men's and women's teams claimed high-ranking finishes in many events, including Kayla Kovar, who captured the individual title in the shot put.

“It was an outstanding meet on both the men's and women's sides,” said coach Eric Houle. “Probably one of the best season openers we have ever had.”

Shaye Maurer led the women in the 60-meter dash with a second-place finish in the preliminary heat and a time of

7.76. She then returned to finish sixth in the finals with a time of 7.99. Maurer also had success in the 60-meter hurdles, as she fin-ished third with a time of 8.79.

Jasmine Paicely followed closely behind her, finishing in a tie for fourth place with a time of 9.00. The men also experi-enced victory in the 60-meter hurdles when Kodai Kusano captured a second-place finish and personal best time of 8.42.

The women were led in the 200-meter by Christina Day as she finished fourth in the final heat with a time of 25.29. Day's performance also landed her in the SUU record books, as she recorded the sixth-best 200-meter time in the school's

history.The women's distance run-

ners also broke into the record books as Sylvia Bedford and Kirsten Bradford finished in seventh and eighth place in the 3,000-meters with times of 10:19.78 and 10:19.99, respec-tively. Bedford and Bradford now hold the seventh and eighth positions in the top 10 Southern Utah records.

Dallas Eborn led the men with a third-place finish in the mile and a time of 4:18.84, rank-ing seventh in the school's top 10 times.

The men's team had great success in the jumping events as Kyle Kopp soared to a mark of 22 feet 10 inches and

third-place finish in the long jump, ranking third in Southern Utah's records. The high jump was led by Daney Nelson, who set a new personal best with a fourth-place finish and mark at 6 feet 4.75 inches.

Zane Hunzeker finished third in the pole vault with a mark of 15 feet five inches, rank-ing fourth in Southern Utah's records while Lesli Kinkade's 12-place finish and mark of 10 feet 6 inches takes third-place in the school's top 10.

Besides capturing the individual title, Kovar's 49 foot 7.75 inch mark in the shot put also set a new top Southern Utah record. She also set the sixth best school record in the

Four players scored in double-digits for the Southern Utah University women’s bas-ketball team, which posted an 89-76 Summit League victory over Centenary College Satur-day afternoon.

The Thunderbirds (10-7, 4-2 Summit League) rallied from a halftime deficit to record their first double-digit win season since the 2005-06 team won 11 games. Senior point guard Caitlyn Sears scored a game-high 23 points while sophomore forward Chanel Thorley came off the bench to match a career-high and post a season-high with 16 points. Thorley also grabbed nine boards as sophomore for-

ward Tayler Anderson scored 10 points to go along with her seven rebounds and freshman guard Desiree Jackson chipped in with 14 points and also grabbed seven rebounds.

SUU shot 50 percent for the game and grabbed a season-best 54 rebounds, led by senior forward Challis Pascucci’s game-high 10. The Thunder-birds out rebounded Centenary (0-14, 0-7 Summit League) 54-23, scored 23 second-chance points and held the Ladies to 28 percent shooting in the second half.

Southern Utah opened the game with an 11-1 run before Centenary slowly began to chip

away at the lead by knocking down three’s and earning trips to the free throw line. The Ladies received a couple threes from their leading 3-point shooter Katarina Vidovic who knocked two from behind the arc and finished with 12 first half points as Centenary used a 12-2 run to close out the half, erase the SUU lead and go into the break up 40-38.

Sears and Thorley high-lighted the first 20 minutes as Sears knocked down three 3-pointers and grabbed six boards while Thorley came off the bench to score 12 points. Despite SUU owning a 24-14 rebound advantage, the Thun-

derbirds found themselves down due to their 13 first-half turnovers.

A recharged SUU team opened the second half with a 20-4 run as Sears and Jackson led the charge, each notching six points during the run to give SUU a double-digit lead it wouldn’t surrender. The Thunderbirds would turn in an impressive defensive perfor-mance in the second half before going on to notch their eighth win in the last 10 games.

Freshman forward Carli Moreland’s free throw with 9:20 left gave SUU a 19-point lead, its largest of the game at 71-52. The Thunderbirds held

CEDAR CITY – Music and painting come together for SUU’s truly unique and engaging Satellite Salon series, in a special two-day series of events developed by members of the music and art and design departments.

The events feature series cre-ator, Dr. Lynn Vartan, percussionist, and painter Brian Paul Hoover, an SUU professor. They will be joined by guest artist, soprano Kathleen Roland.

The trio will participate in a master class and Q&A at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. On Saturday, Vartan and Roland participate in a family workshop, “Music Unwrapped,” at 10:30 a.m., and a concert entitled “Music with a Splash” at 7:30 p.m. All events will take place at the Thorley Recital Hall, located on campus in the music building. All events are free and opened to the general public.

The master class is targeted to college and high school age students. Roland and Vartan will demonstrate vocal techniques and Roland will interact with some students and coach their own vocal performance. Roland and Vartan will be joined by Brian Paul Hoover and the trio will discuss their careers as working artists.

The casual “Music Unwrapped” features Roland and Vartan inter-acting with youngsters as they introduce them to the wonders of the human voice and percussion. The session features hands-on elements, so younger students can hear and experience their own voices.

Noisy younger children are welcome to attend with their par-ents who can walk them around the family-friendly event which is geared to young children, families and the community.

The weekend’s highlight will be “Music with a Splash,” a free concert highlighted by a vibrant collaboration for the trio. The con-cert’s first half will feature Roland and Vartan performing works that showcase both the human voice and various percussion instru-ments. The program for the first act includes Dominick Argento’s “Letters from Composers,” which draws its text from letters written by Chopin, Puccini, Bach and oth-ers; Francis Poulenc’s “Le Travail du Peintre” which are songs about the painters Picasso, Chagall, Klee and Miro; and Andrew Beall’s “Song for ‘Almah” for marimba and soprano.

Then in the second act, in a spe-

cial collaboration between music and art, Hoover will accompany Roland and Vartan by doing splash painting live onstage inspired by their improvised musical perfor-mance. The concert promises to be an unforgettable work of art, a feast for both the ears and eyes.

Roland is a highly regarded concert soloist and specialist in the music of the 20th and 21st century. She has been a featured singer at numerous music festivals, including the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festi-val, the Britten-Pears Institute and the Tanglewood Music Festival, and has performed with many notable conductors, including James Con-lon, Kent Nagano, Reinbert de Leeuw, James Mauceri, and Oliver Knussen.

Roland has been a frequent featured soloist with the Grammy award-winning Southwest Cham-ber Music Society of Los Angeles. Recordings include a CD created with American composer Libby Larsen of her song cycle, “Songs from Letters,” “From Calamity Jane to her daughter Janey,” and “Aura,” for orchestra and soloists by Grawemeyer award-winning Cam-bodian composer Chinary Ung.

International appearances include a tour with Southwest

Chamber Music in Southeast Asia, featuring the music of Chinary Ung, and at the Tonhalle in Dussel-dorf with conductor Robert Platz and mdi ensemble milano.

Recent performances include the premiere of Ung’s “Spirals XII” with the Los Angeles Master Chorale at Disney Hall. She holds a doctorate in voice from the Uni-versity of Southern California, and serves on the board of the National Opera Association, as well as edi-tor of the organization’s newsletter, “NOA Notes.” She is currently a professor of voice at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif.

Hoover received his initial art training at the Cleveland Institute of Art. He later earned an M.F.A. at the State University of New York. His highly detailed and sym-bolic paintings seem to be captured images from another reality. This reality consists of floating spiritual beings, women adorned with fan-tastic swirling ethereal hats and a host of enigmatic figures that are painted in the act of some mysteri-ous purpose.

The majority of the work could be described as surreal, but some of the paintings incorporate aspects of

CEDAR CITY – Food as concep-tual art is an idea that is fairly new to Cedar City, but Artful Edibles, a delec-tably unique catering establishment, has found a way to meld both flavor and vision in extraordi-nary and diverse ways.

Amani Kaminska, co-owner, said the evolution from an online service to a store-front catering business happened almost instantaneously but the journey has been fun and well worth it so far.

“Artful Edibles first started as an online deco-rated cookie business in conjunction with the Personal Chef service and quite suddenly evolved into a catering service,” Kaminska said. “Now that I have a business partner as great as Sandi (Thornton), the vision is growing into something wonderful.”

Since opening in June, the partners said they have utilized their open ended menu style to create individualized experiences for their customers in the hopes of “bring(ing) culinary diversity to Cedar City” while meeting their clients’ needs as artistically as possible.

“We believe that food and art are a natural blend,” Thornton said. “We try to be diverse and unique with every client and make the experience one -of-a-kind.”

The menu is simple, there is no menu. Kaminska said they have certain dishes they make that they have used to inspire or provoke the customer, but the basic idea is that Artful Edibles will create a menu for your event based on your needs, your taste buds and your vision, while adding their own flair along the way.

“Usually it (inspiration) starts with an interest in an ingredient or a recipe and we get excited to develop it into something more,” Kaminska said. “We have been blessed to have people embrace the concept of providing a personal service to meet their needs, versus creating a product and waiting for someone to be interested in it.”

Thornton said the community has been very supportive of the idea of using food as conceptual art and they usually come in with ideas and themes to help create the types of food to accentuate the event that is being planned.

“We have learned to ask questions that bring out more detail about the celebration,” Kaminska said. “Such as

favorite colors, food likes (or) dislikes, allergies … whatever suits the circum-stances, and that usually sparks a lane of creativity to further enhance the celebration and we carry that theme throughout.

“Sometimes it’s the shape of a cookie that ties it all in or the color scheme,” she added.

Their fit to an “anything the cus-tomer desires” form of catering con-tinues to show itself in their ability to perform their culinary magic no mat-ter the location, Thornton said. Rather than pigeonhole themselves into one genre, the savvy businesswomen are happy to host at their Highway 56 loca-tion, in the clients’ homes, or wherever an event is being held.

“We recently had a retirement party here at our facility and they had a roast for the two people retiring,” Kaminska said. “It was a lot of fun to hear the jokes and the memories being shared.

“One lady approached us last sum-mer that wanted a cake to symbolize the Holy Spirit. That one I had to turn down. As creative as I like to think I am, I couldn't (think of how to) con-jure up the Holy Spirit,” she added.

In addition to the custom catering, carry-out premade meals, celebration cakes and decorated cookies the two-some create, Kaminska said they also hold a monthly tasting so that people can come and relax while enjoying a variety of delectable delights created

from the minds of the new chefs.“We offer a variety of appetizer

size foods with a different menu each month for customers to taste and see that food and art come together,” Kaminska said.

Kaminska, who received her culinary training in California at an eight-month program offered by the Culinary Business Academy, said both she and her partner earned their love of food as young children cooking with their parents and they incor-porate recipes both from childhood and from new things they learn about every day.

“Sandi was a travel agent for the last 20 years and had (an) opportunity to nurture her love for different cui-sines and cultural flavors (that way),” Kaminska said. “She is a great balance of practicality and creativity (and) we both have a good work ethic which helps us become more focused and support one another.”

Artful Edibles will be holding its next tasting at its storefront location, 2313 W. Highway 56, on Jan. 26, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Attendees must RSVP in order to ensure the proper amount of food will be prepared.

To RSVP or for more informa-tion call 865-6418, 590-7101 or e-mail Amani or Sandi at the website www.artfuledibles.com.

they grew. The pantry was always stocked with canning jars which contained the season's harvest that they shared with everyone.

Katie was especially known for her "Dill" and her "Mustard" pickles (We can still taste them now).

Katie loved to sing and cherished the time she was able to sing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. She loved to decorate cakes and to help with any project her children could think up. All the children in Parowan knew her as the “Sucker Lady” because of her homemade suckers given out at Halloween.

Katie is survived by her four daughters, Darlene Thornton, Christine Hunt, Deborah Painter, and Vicki Harr, and her devoted dog Chicka. Katherine also has 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

We love you momma, hug daddy for us and enjoy raising your son. May God take care of you as he has previously done.

Funeral services will be Friday, Jan. 21. at the LDS Church, 90 S. Main, Parowan, Utah. Family viewing will be at 10:30 a.m. and the services will begin at 11:30 a.m. Interment will be at the Parowan Cemetery under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.

and Hardware store on Paramount Boulevard, which, on Gerry’s initiative, blossomed into a bicycle shop in the 1960s. That was when Gerry started the Paramount Cycling Club, which sponsored races in Paramount for years.

Mulrooney Bike Shop prospered, expanding to stores in Bellflower, Fullerton, Los Alamitos, South Coast and Newport Beach. Eventually, through business acumen, hard work, and leadership, Gerry became the nation’s top Schwinn franchise dealer.

Gerry served from 1986-1996 on the Paramount City Council and was Mayor Mulrooney three times. With a few associates on the City Council, an ace city manager and strong staff, Gerry helped build a new Paramount over 15 years, turning it into an all-American city.

Gerry was also a member of Rotary and Lion’s Clubs. His civic service didn’t stop when he moved from Paramount to Cedar City, Utah.

Gerry and Nancy’s keen interest in golfing led them to Borrego Springs in the early 1970s. They joined the Anza Borrego Country Club and purchased a home on the golf course. Some of Gerry’s happiest times were on the golf course with his buddies, Greg and Ron.

Gerry loved to travel, visiting destinations on all seven continents. He owned a series of large RVs, and traveled throughout much of the U.S. and Canada.

A collection of ATVs in Utah attracted grandchildren and children for wonderful treks in the mountains west of Zion, in and around Panguitch and Navajo Lakes, two of his favorite fishing spots.

Family gatherings in the Mulrooney homes were frequent and festive, and always featured good food, drink, and entertainment.

Beyond everything else Gerry was a family man. He was devoted to his wife, Nancy, with whom he celebrated more than 55 years of marriage. She was his close partner in all things, with a strength, a will, and a competitive drive to match his own.

He dearly loved his children. Though each went in their own distinct direction, Gerry was adaptive enough to accept almost everything and expand the family circle. He was generous to his family, his in-laws, and his many friends.

He is already sorely missed.

Fiddlers gives parents advice for flu season

Flu season is upon us! Sometimes it’s hard for parents to know whether or not to keep their child home because s/he doesn’t feel well.

Our school nurse has given us the following guidelines: If a child is running a fever, throwing up, or has been so congested throughout the night that it has kept the child awake, parents should most likely keep the student home.

Also, with the cold and flu sea-son upon us, it becomes even more important to ensure that students don’t miss school for avoidable reasons such as vacations, shopping trips, or babysitting. Thanks!

SWAtC

Schools

CEDAR CITY –The VISTA volunteer team at the Southwest Applied Technology College, under the leadership of Michele Nicks, organized and executed a com-munity volunteer event in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day that they called Knots of Love.

Through a $500 community grant from Walmart, the group of 36 volunteers made 13 lap blankets for the Alzheimer’s residents of Emerald Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care Community in Cedar City.

The blankets were designed with the residents in mind (six males and seven females) and featured hand‐tied knots, cheerful patterns and bright colors.

During a tour of the Emerald

Pointe facility Nicks had the oppor-tunity to meet the residents of the Alzheimer’s wing. The lockdown feature of the unit left quite an impression on her and she made a mental note to “bring some sun-shine” to those residents through a future project.

The Knots of Love project was born through this visit.

Nicks placed a call for help and it was answered by a volunteer team of 36 that included the SWATC VISTA team, the VISTA volunteer from SUU, SWATC students and residents of Cedar City. The team gathered Jan. 8 and created each of the handmade blankets. Last Wednesday, the blankets were delivered to the residents at Emer-ald Pointe.

The VISTA team of volunteers on the SWATC campus operates with the mission of “Fighting Pov-erty through Education” and hosts several service learning projects for students through the year.

According to the VISTA web-site, “AmeriCorps VISTA is the national service program designed specifically to fight poverty. Founded as Volunteers in Service to America in 1965 and incorporated into the AmeriCorps network of programs in 1993, VISTA has been on the front lines in the fight against poverty in America for more than 40 years.”

SWATC is proud to have this phenomenal group of volunteers on campus and looks forward to future projects and results.

academic realism with abstract sen-sibilities associated with modernism. This combination is truly unique and places the artist’s work in an area that is hard to categorize.

Hoover says of his work, “My paintings are inspired by dreams. I

am aware of the Jungian impulse to interpret these things outright, but I am equally satisfied to be awed by the seemingly infinite and unknowable source that they originate from.”

Brian resides in Cedar City and teaches painting and printmaking at SUU.

Vartan performs regularly in addition to teaching at SUU. She is percussionist for Southwest Chamber

Music, two-time Grammy nominee in the “Best Classical Album of the Year” and “Best Small Ensemble with or without a conductor” categories.

Vartan has been featured on the Los Angeles Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series, the Different Trains Series and has soloed with the Music and the Court series in Pasadena, Calif., and the Sierra Wind Symphony. She is currently producing two solo albums,

which will be released next year.Vartan received her master’s and

doctorate degrees from the University of Southern California with special honors and recognition. She teaches percussion at Southern Utah Univer-sity.

The Satellite Salon Series allows for personal interaction and commu-nication between a resident or guest musician and music students from

SUU and the region through master classes, question and answer sessions and workshops. Satellite Salon Series and “Music Unwrapped” are made possible by funding from artsFUSION, Art Works for Kids! and the Utah Division of Arts and Museums.
