Even if such censorship is not strictly illegal, it’s a very bad idea, adding to the frustration, fear and anger that is driving the violence. Ignoring each other’s sources of frustration is what has gotten us to where we are. Let’s boldly investigate questions of election integrity, racial discrimination, economic inequality and any other issue that drives people to the streets in mobs. If what we want is “a more perfect union,” we need to foster mutual respect. If we want to end the year of angry protests, we need to listen to each other to lessen the desperation and pull each other back from the fringes. When people feel like they have ways to work within the system to ™x problems, they don’t burn businesses or storm government buildings. We should ™x this by listening, acknowledging our failures, addressing grievances through the proper channels and respecting the right of local communities to govern according to their own values. We can’t a‘ord to gloat, mic drop, ™nger point or further marginalize each other. After all of the blood and sacri™ce during the Lincoln Administration to preserve and perfect this Union, I don’t want to see the institutions of my country undermined by contempt and misinformation. I believe we can safeguard our nation and institutions by taking responsibility for what is broken and working to listen in good faith. The type of hero we need right now is a caring neighbor.

ONE OF THE PLACES THE Annual Children’s CELLOMANIA MUSICIANS TOOK THEIR TALENTS to was Jubilee coming to the Frontier Homestead State Park in Cedar on Feb. 13 Cedar City.

by Tanisa CROSBY FOR IRON COUNTY T ODAY One thing that is great about music is that it connects people of all ages. One can never be too young to really start to dive into music, which is why COURTESY OSU the Orchestra of Southern Utah loves the annual Children’s Jubilee. Children of all ages are invited to various activities and experience the thrill of live orchestral music. This year, the theme for the Jubilee and Concert is “Everyone a Superhero” and will take place on February 13th at 1 PM at the Heritage Center Theatre in Cedar City, UT. There will be fun activities centered on the theme of superheroes starting at 1 PM. The Orchestra of Southern Utah will host several STEAM centered activities, an adaptation on the well-known “STEM” acronym. Activities will include science demonstrations and a museum display, which families are welcome to watch and explore. While the activities will not be hands on, something the jubilee is well known for, children will receive bags of take home activities and goodies. Families and children are encouraged to come dressed up as their favorite superheroes. At 2 PM, the concert hall will be opened and everyone can then come enjoy a mini concert put on by the Orchestra. Cellomania USA will open the concert with the Theme from Transformers, Nina Hansen, the founder of Cellomania and a cellist from the Orchestra, started the group in 2006 to help students learn the cello beyond what they learn in the classroom. “Playing in a cello choir is an experience like no other.” Nina Hansen explained, “It is the golden moment of playing the cello. It provides opportunities for growth in intonation, rhythm, technical skills, team work, spatial awareness and overall musicality.” In the past, Cellomania has performed across Iron County and even traveled to places such as Disneyland in California and performed in Changsha, Xi'an and near Beijing on the Great Wall of China. Nina added, “Kids in Cedar City will love to see other kids playing really cool music, wearing really cool out™ts, and having a great time on their instruments.” The Orchestra under the direction of Conductor Carylee Zwang will play highlights of scores from Superman Returns, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Star Wars. The Children’s Jubilee will take place on February 13th at 1 PM at the Heritage Center Theatre, located on 105 N 100 E, Cedar City, UT, (behind Lin’s). Tickets are $5 for adults and children and can be purchased at www.myosu.org or at the door; families can also get a free ticket if they bring in 3 cans of food to donate. Babies are welcome for this concert and have free admittance. Admittance is limited to 220 for safe audience attendance, and masks are required in the concert hall. Due to the limits in seating, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance online.

(COVID friendly) Community Presbyterian Church Win your mind and heart? Isaiah 26:3 says “yes” and tells us how: Your mind must be stayed, ™ xed, ™ rmly anchored, on God, and you must trust in Him to always do what’s right. Trust His wisdom, His love, His knowledge, His power, His holiness, His good- ness, His mercy and grace. Trust Him. Note Who is the Provider, the Source, of that peace: God Himself, identi™ ed three times in this verse as You. Our omnipotent, omniscient God is fully capable, and desirous of providing perfect peace to His own, those people who have trusted the Lord Jesus Christ – the Jesus of the Bible – as their Savior from sin. Note also that God will not only provide perfect peace but also keep you in perfect peace. Trust Him. Do you believe – are you totally convinced – that the God Who created this universe by merely speaking it into existence could instantly change the current world situation? If you do believe that, then it should be obvious that God is allowing and controlling what’s happening now. It’s part of the plan He set in place before creation. The current events are ful™ lling some of that eternal plan. Trust Him. We’re spectators – observers – watching the unfolding of God’s plan for the ages. More than that, like it or not, we’re forced to live with and, to a degree, participate in what’s happening around us. We are personally a‘ ected by the current conditions, and that too is part of God’s plan. Trust Him. From eternity past, God sovereignly determined when you would be born. He knew that you would be on earth at this time, observing and participating. That’s part of His plan for your life and He knows what He’s doing. Trust Him. One group or another may think they’re in control of what’s happening in the world, but they’re not. God is. As in every age, those who are in power are there by His sovereign decree, and He’s using them to accomplish His plan, His will. Trust Him. (Although God isn’t the author of evil, He sometimes uses mans’ evil ways and deeds for His purposes. Read the Old Testament book of Habakkuk.) At His trial, Jesus told Pilate, “You would have no authority over me unless it had been given you from above” (John 19:11, NASB). That’s still true. God is still sovereign, still on His throne, still in absolute control. Nothing happens on earth without His permission. Trust Him. Only God knows and controls the future. We don’t. God is never surprised by anything because everything is under His control. It always has been and always will be. That knowledge should enable us to trust Him without reservation and thus experience the peace – perfect peace – promised in Isaiah 26:3.

Joyce M. Slack

Joyce M. Slack, 75, passed away peacefully at home in Cedar City, UT on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, surrounded by her sweetheart and family. Joyce was born July 13, 1945 in Caliente, Nevada to Marel Decker and Delsa Winsor Bradshaw. She was the third child of four children. Joyce was a kind, generous and loving wife and mother. Her love was always unconditional. She never ever complained about anything, especially when she was hurting or in pain. She always wore a smile on her face that warmed the hearts of those who had the pleasure and privilege to be around her. She has touched the lives of so many with her love and kindness. Joyce and Hal always had a welcome home to all those who visited and would do anything for them. She loved to cook for family and friends. Her children and grandchildren tell of her unconditional love; a love that permeated everything that she did. Joyce loved going to the Slack family mountain property to relax and spend quality time with Hal, family, and all that joined them on the mountain. She enjoyed horseback riding, square dancing, water- skiing, sewing, crocheting, and reading. So many have benefi ted from her amazing skills as a seamstress by wearing clothes or dresses she made or receiving blankets and needle point creations. Growing up, Joyce lived in Pioche, Nevada with her family until their new home was built in the late 1950’s, when they moved to Panaca, Nevada. She graduated from Lincoln County High School in Panaca, NV as Valedictorian in 1963. She was active in all aspects of High School Life. She was in the Band, Chorus, Marching Group, Cheerleader and other activities. She was also the Nevada State President for the Future Homemakers of America (FHA). After High School she attended BYU in Provo, UT on a schol- arship, graduating with her Associates Degree before marrying William Mattson, September 5, 1964. They moved to Seattle, Washington where she worked as a secretary for Boeing. They later moved to Belmont, CA and shortly after she had two children. They later divorced, and she moved back to Panaca, NV for a short period of time before moving to Cedar City, UT. Joyce went back to school at Southern Utah State College (SUSC) to study business education, later receiving her bachelor’s degree in 1976. She met Hal Slack on a blind date to go square dancing. They enjoyed each other’s company so much they decided to get married and blend their two families together, as Hal had three children of his own. Hal and Joyce were married on April 24, 1976 in Pioche, NV and later sealed together on March 25, 1977, for time and for all eternity, in the St. George Temple. Joyce went back to school at Utah State University graduating with a Master of Education Degree in 1982. Joyce taught typing, keyboarding, and many other business classes at Cedar High School and Cedar Middle School. She loved working with young people and was passionate about teaching and truly cared about her students, whether it was in the classroom or outside of school. She worked tirelessly for her family and her students until she retired from the Iron County School District. Joyce was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout her life and served in numerous callings over the years. It is with this faith, love, patience, and guidance that she raised her family. She will be truly missed. Joyce is survived by her husband Hal Martin Slack; her 5 children, Roseanne Slack – Cedar City, UT; Angie Slack – Cedar City, UT; Jason (Kris) Slack – Cedar City, UT; Kris (Kevin) McMahon – Las Vegas, NV; and Greg Slack – Salt Lake City, UT. Joyce is also survived by her brother, Gerald Winsor Bradshaw; sister, Colleen Bradshaw Flinspach; brother, Kenneth Marel Bradshaw; 14 Grandchildren; 19 Great Grandchildren; and 1 Great, Great Grandchild. She is preceded in death by her loving Parents. A private family funeral service and graveside service was held as per her request. Please visit www.sumortuary.com to leave condolences for the family, share a memory, or to just sign the guestbook. The family would like to thank Dr. Jarid Gray and the doctors and nurses of the ICU at the Cedar City Hospital and the Nurses and Sta¡ of the Intermountain Healthcare Hospice for their loving care of mom and for the helpful and loving support to our family. Your kindness and love are truly appreciated.
