Representatives of the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center are encouraging anyone who attended or may have been affected by last October’s shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival to reach out to available resources. The VSRC opened Oct. 23, 2017 to provide ongoing support to anyone who may have been affected by this shooting. Survivors and others affected are being encouraged to reach out to VSRC, which is now the single point of contact for dealing with any issues related to the shooting, and to apply for the Nevada Victims of Crime Program.

Unfortunately, we do have a significant problem with prescription drugs getting in the public, out of people’s medicine cabinets. They end up on street level, sold on a black market, and the result is people become addicted. Worse than that, the end result sometimes is we zip them up in a body bag. It has to stop.” Gower said law enforcement has seen an alarming increase in prescription opioid abuse and pulled a Narcan packet out of a zippered pocket on his pant uniform (Narcan is used to treat a drug overdose in an emergency situation) to demonstrate. “Each of us with the Iron County Sheriff’s Office carries this Narcan with us everywhere now,” said Gower. “In the last year, we’ve already have four lives saved because of it. We want everyone to use this drop box. I want to be emptying that drop box every single month.” Eric Packer, administrator and CEO of Cedar City Hospital, said “It’s one of the top initiatives of our hospital to fight opioid abuse and reduce opioid use. We are very grateful to be a strong community partners with agencies like the Iron County Sheriff’s Office to have a safe and easy place to get rid of unused medications, including opioids. Intermountain Healthcare and Cedar City Hospital are appreciative of the enthusiasm that Sheriff Gower and the Iron County Sheriff’s Department have for this project. It’s evident that this is an organization that has the community’s best interest at heart and wants to take proactive steps in protecting our homes and families.” Amber Rich, Intermountain’s Community Health Partner Specialist, said “Iron County has not been immune to the death toll related to the opioid epidemic in this country. In fact, overdose deaths in Iron County based on population size are nearly double the national rate.” Rich explained that the Utah Department of Health reported the drug poisoning death rate per 100,000 in Utah is 21.7 deaths and 13.2 deaths nationally. In Iron County the rate is 24.3 deaths. Currently, drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in this state and prescription medications are responsible for more deaths than all illicit drugs combined.

He shows up in Windsor already in trouble for his recent swindle of a Justice of the Peace. He apologizes but immediately starts to concoct his next hustle. His huge ego has him believing that the wealthy housewives Mistress Alice Ford (Tarah Flanagan) and Mistress Margaret Page (Stephanie Lambourn) are in love with him.

Ahlin is a master at expression and creating a believable and well-rounded character. Harding’s Welsh parson was easily one of my favorite performances of the play.

When my now-adult children think about the green shows it is in the backdrop of the old Adams Theatre and tree-shaded courtyard. Families brought blankets and folding chairs to sit on the lawn and hillside in front of the stage, and the fun began. In the early days of the Festival, there were live musicians on Renaissance instruments. A family presented a Punch and Judy puppet show a few yards away and sometimes Martin Tyner was there with his magnificent birds. The dancers and singers wore renais- sance-type costumes and presented certain acts predictably from year to year. The maypole was my favorite; I would fantasize that I would be called out of the audience to participate in the weaving of those col- ored streamers. (I can only imagine the chaos that would have ensued.) The egg dance, a brief comedy sketch, and the Loch Ness monster were also perennial acts that we expected to see. Wandering among the audience were girls in peasant costumes selling the famous tarts that were also a standard of the Festival and the college kids manning the snack shack spoke in dialects appropriate to the theme of the evening. Alas, things changed over the years. More and more of the music was canned, from any time period, and Nessie didn’t show up anymore. Those good memories are the reason I am feeling better about the current green show on the lawn of the new Sorenson complex. The song choices are not modern pop, thank heaven, and the costumes are somewhat appropriate to the Renaissance era. One live instrumentalist softens the technology of the canned music, and there is audience interaction. (You need to go just to see little children dance with complete lack of self-consciousness on the grass.) And there is a maypole, sort of, the egg dance, and Nessie shows up on Scottish night! It isn’t exactly like the old days, but I guess there is no way to get that magnificent tree to the new space. But do the girls selling tarts have to look like restaurant servers?

When you love someone then really love them. I know you wish you could hold their hand, or feel their arms around you more often, but distance is only time and time is temporary. With today’s technology, people can be more connected with their families and other loved ones more often than people who lived barely fifteen years ago could connect! We just have to be willing to go the distance for what we truly desire. Not only the physical distance, but the emotional and spiritual distances, also. Going the distance isn’t about the miles. It’s about living and fighting for who and what you love and believe in. Sometimes, the best people and opportunities in your life are closer than you think. Distance shouldn’t matter when you are family. Sure, it hurts to be away at the holidays, or when you can’t be there for special occasions. Technology can help make the distance bearable and crossable. When you love someone, let them know in any and every way you can. Don’t let logistics and statistics—or technological troubles—keep you stuck, or stagnant on your journey of life and love. If everyone is willing to work towards creating more smiles, until there are less miles, then that’s enough to make things work. Don’t let distance dictate your decisions, or your destiny. What, or who, do you want most in your life? Perhaps it’s time to go the distance.

No words could wrestle away the queasy feeling that came from the moment. » On a related note: Two thought schools are out there on some things I’ve seen recently. I had no idea cornhole championships were worthy of TV time, and darts definitely make for intriguing viewing. If you haven’t seen the game of cornhole, you’re basically throwing a bean bag from one end and aiming for the “cornhole” that sits on an elevated platform 27 feet away at the other. If the bean bag sits on the playing surface after the players have finished, it’s worth one point. All cornholes are worth three. Only one player scores in a frame, and the first to 21 wins. But in darts, you’re throwing at a board that has a few more targets and a lot more points. I caught some of the U.S. Darts Masters final that was held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on July 7, and the action was riveting. The mission of the players is simple. Score exactly 501 points to win and win eight of 15 “legs” to advance. When we got to the final, it had a comeback of pretty tremendous proportions. Scottish player Gary Anderson trailed American Rob Cross by a 4-1 count, but rallied with seven straight legs to claim the title and a payday of $26,576, equal to 20,000 British pounds. Not bad for throwing three darts at a time. It’s always nice work if you can get it. Follow Tom Zulewski on Twitter @TommyZee81 or photos courtesy of SUU email [email protected].
