If you were raised in this area, then your family may enjoy reading the history of that which is written about us locals. We now see what old timers think is an over populated growth in Juab County, and many of the move-ins claim to know our Culture and History but are "Fakes", as they they think we have plenty of water here or just take it away from the farmers! There is time for you to learn, however, by seeing our history at the DUP Museum; walk to the Nephi Library; Sting like a Wasp; talk or help a neighbor. They are often more of that need that you know, til you know all of US! First Front page shows Two Twin sisters who remain Bravely Beautiful; Ute Stampede Committee, where one of my cousins has always served as a volunteer since 1935. Second Page shows photo of Randy McKnight who if you asked personally, he would probably say return the name of the Nephi Airport to its real name; but call the dam Dam up the Canyon "Bobs Pond" as it was Mayor Steele that lead that during the 1983-84 flood and warned the City Council two years ago it would happen again, but it fell on deaf ears, or so I heard. A page from 1984 will show who you may vote for. Another front page will show photos of good people of the Lions Club; the Egg Man; a Marine who forgot to suck it in and volunteers of the American Legion, who would appreciate your donation for Veterans. And a front page from 1936 with good and bad news. I can't ever forget an important man of Nephi-June Carter, as it was with shock that I was delivering newspapers as a kid, when a car struck and killed him while walking across the street of Main and Depot. If you get into reading history, try to find the name of a man who may had fought for the Japanese Emperor, but grew good Sugar Beets and teach good work ethics, which has now evaporated from today.
