THREE STRIKE OUTS AND THEY ARE GONE. WELCOME BACK TRUMP

For nearly 50 years I have avoided listening to any news station, and I slipped last night, but got back up after 15 minutes of putting the sound on mute and watching the Presidential voting. Each station was proudly saying how much Harris was marching to Victory. I turned it off and did what many of the real Americans did. I prayed for Trump. Then this morning I called a friend and he told me the good news. Welcome back Donald Trump. Prayer does work and in this case, it was the saving of the true citizens of America. Yes, that is a personal observation, but in 50 years of studying Constitutional Law; 42 years working in Law Enforcement and 4 years as a City Council Member, I do solemnly swear I have seen and witnessed ample proof that we have shiploads of bad people in government positions; misinformed folks and just plain stupid voters. I have now completed over 1,000 chapters of history, and tried by best not to offend people, but in this case I don't mind doing it, as it is the truth. I can now rest from teaching History; Culture and being Kind to even those who fight against Freedom and our way of life. In Nephi, I only knew three Democrats, two of which are closet voters. But in the case of Nov. 5, 2024, voters changed or at least parted the sinful waters of the United States of America. Illegals will start the riots and all those who don't work or never been taught how too. Let us do what is right for all, especially Grandma Moses who cant survive with increase in Property Taxes. Beef up the Miltary; Build the Wall; No More Grants; No money to Enemies; Term Limits; Work for what you Want; Cut All Taxes: Limit Government Control; The End for Me is near and it Will be for all if we don't change! 

IF YOU ARE A LEGAL AMERICAN; PLEASE VOTE PROPERLY

 I read where one American Presidential Candidate yelled at a person who said something that was a slur not only against HER opponent, but to Jesus, the Savior of the world. Vote according to what you feel is best, but remember you are voting or the future of America; your future and that of your family. Don't believe that which the news media want you to think, as well as GOOGLE and FACEBOOK who distort the lies. I haven't watched a news report in 50 years, and if I have a question I will do my own studies by talking to Veterans or going to Dallas or Vietnam to find out for myself. God is King and their needs to be a Leader who will drain the swamp in DC; Utah and right here in your small once rural area.

DALE ROSQUIST FUNERAL WAS LAST SATURDAY

 "Old Soldiers Never Die, They Just Fade Away". Such was the case with 75 Year old Dale Rosquist of Levan, Utah. To most of us from Juab County, he always seemed to be around and always will be. Even at his funeral, it appeared he will always be with his family, friends and those he loved. Although the proceedings were held in the Levan LDS Church of which he was a member, he wasn't what one would call an every Sunday go to meetin attender. But it was made quite clear in the words of the songs; speakers and the feeling of the crowd that in attendance, he very much loved God; his family; Levan, and most certainty America. Like many of our war torn Veterans, Dale suffered immensely from the Cancer, and it took his wife the same way. He was the Juab High Class of 66, and was a proud Wasp, along with many others as my brother Gary B. Jones was, and a dear friend of my sister-Jaynette Jones, who spent time with him and his kids the last few months. I was so impressed with the funeral program, with the spiritual music of "How Great Thou Art" and "Amazing Grace" but showing the spirit of this Veteran of 2 tours of Duty in a God Awful Country of the Pacific Rim. The Closing Hymn was "America The Beautiful" played on a guitar and joined in slowly by the congregation, and one couldn't help but shed a tear. The Levan American Legion did a 21 gun salute and the US Navy doing the Flag Honors. WELL DONE DALE.

A MOTHER'S IMPACT STAYS WITH A CHILD FOREVER

Don't panic! It is not the earthly day called "Mother's Day", but you may get extra credit by giving any mother a flower or gift of appreciation to acknowledge the love and devotion of that one person. And it doesn't have to be your own mother as their are many others who have no children or they are not in a position to offer a love note to their mother. But if you find the time or make the time, write a handwritten note of gratitude send it to her in the US mail, as a handwritten letter is keen. It can be brief, as long as it is honest. Often times, a mother type can be a grandmother; Aunt or even a church teacher. Your act of kindness may be a dollar that is sent or given to her without her knowledge. Most folks are better off that another in your neighborhood, so feel the inner spirit of love to give. As I write of this today, I was going through another box of family history and came across a letter that was written by what some folks may label me as "one of those no account" Jones boys. Well, I may have been, but I think the letter I wrote so many years ago was a sincere act of love and adoration for my own mother-LaVon Harris Jones. I was about 9 years old, and that was at a time she had temporarily given up her profession as an expert typist and teaching her "tough" boys that we each needed to learn to type even though we thought it was "only for girls". In her non argumentative manner, she taught us how we could all play men sports and type too! Somehow, she knew that even a train engineer; tire buster or Olympic swimmer, their would be a day when all people would have to learn to type. She was right as rain! And sure enough, when I got to high school, I felt this surge to sit by the cute girls in type class; made the Type Team, and still got the Atta-Boy playing Football. Well, sitting on the Bench mostly, until the last game of the year, playing  defensive end, as the Assistant Coach knew I could do that, and sure enough, Clark Greenhalgh was my "Mom" on the football field. I darted around the opponent's of BY High and sacked their Quarterback 3 times. Anyway, herein should be that letter I wrote, and sorry I  didn't spell my hometown korrectly! And school lunch couldn't be afforded.

ANCIENT LANUGAGE-CAN ANYBODY READ WHAT WE FOUND

I had the opportunity to work with Archeologists at Antelope Island; Bear River Massacre; Central America and Martins Cove. I felt honored to be asked to go to Cairo, but had to go back to work. I have spent my retirement years in writing about my exportations around the world and almost got a thousand entries. As I went through some old family artifact's, I came across this notebook and I can't decipher what language it is. Wondered if some of the readers can figure out if it is Reformed Egypt Hieroglyphics; Pig Latin; Bengali; or what? Perhaps, this is the secret book found in the hidden wall in the stairwell of the old North Ward when they tore it down and left the pile of lumber and wood for me and my father to gather and reuse. Who knows other than perhaps the Shadow Knows. I get the shivers going through the sketches made that was made. Perhaps on Halloween night?

Latest up date on this ancient hyropgylichs. We received the correct answer as to this reformed Eyptian. It is from the Tolley Twig, and that person is right on this Halloween night, and is entitled to receive free all of the thousand year old candies she can muster up and acquire.

THE WASP-100 YEAR OLD PUBLICATION OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

We are not absolutely sure, but the Nephi Jones family believes "The Wasp" was typed by LaVon Harris  (Jones) but put together by "The Swarm", which were the Stingers and Assistant stingers and ink pushers of the class of 1928. In todays high school Nebonian and year books, people often made fun of fellow students or teachers, with no harm intended. Such is the case of the respected principal, George A. Sperry who they referred to as Jerge Jay Sperry and another respected agriculture teacher, Harry Beagley who was referred to as Hairy Beagley. Another case was respected coach T.O. Durham, and Raymond Phillips, who became one of Nephi's respected mailman, the father of Jack Phillips. It should also be noted that their was such a thing as boys and girls Glee Club; Boosters Club; Hot-N-Tot Club and in those days, as perhaps the 1964 Senior Ball was called the Senior Brawl. Have fun and check the name of what The Swarm is; and Sadie Howard became a Greenhalgh and Mable Wilson became a Nielsen, and James P. McCune not only wrote the high school school song, but became a respected 5th District Judge.

 

A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT

About four years ago, I was helping the DUP (Daughters of Utah Pioneers) conduct tours for the public at the old Juab County Jail, which was also used as a holding place for those heading to the Territorial Prison where the Sugar House park is in Salt Lake City. In addition, I found fun in opening the log cabin at Nephi's Pioneer Park each Saturday or when their was a group of people nearby. I found delight in that, as it was Alice P. McCune, the DUP President in the 1930's, who directed my grandfather to cut the logs to build the cabin, which was completed in remembrance of the Mormon Pioneers that first came to Nephi. If you knew her, as I did picking weeds at her home, nobody could turn down Alice P.! Evan Harris had two sawmills above Nephi, so he and his boys and brothers brought them down, and people of the area gathered to build the log cabin in the 1930's and the DUP has kept it in prime condition. Growing up in Nephi and being a member of the Nephi City Council I had a great interest in the upkeep of it. I told the new Park Manager if he would be willing to use his machines and manpower to transport the Bell that was near the cabin and take it back to the new Nephi Town Park created by Nephi City, and build a holding facility to give information about it. For that good cause, I told him I would bring it up in City Council for a vote, and it was approved. I shook hands with Gerratt Bethers, the Park Manager and "A PROMSE WAS MADE, AND IT IS NOW KEPT". In addition to Gerratt, we acknowledge Nephi City workers including the expertise of Clark Wood and former DUP President, Peggy Johnson. All folks in the Intermountain area are invited to Nephi for the Monument Dedication. Come One Come All. And remember, the DUP is non-profit and they could use your donation...please!
