The parade and subsequent ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. at city hall, 2600 West Taylorsville Blvd. This year’s theme is “Women of the Military,” with two veterans serving as Grand Marshals for the parade.

Valentine Paddock served for just under three years in the U.S. Marine upd awards 7 Corps in 1953-55, during the Korean War. “I was living in San Francisco, and right after I got out of high school, I wanted to start my own life. So I enlisted in the Marines,” she said. She was attracted to the Marines because of a newsreel film which showed before a motion picture in her theatre. That was a common practice in the 40s, 50s, 60s and early 70s. She spent five days riding a train across the country to Paris Island, South Carolina, where her basic training began. “That was quite an experience for a 19-year-old,” she said. She’s very proud of the time she spent in the Marines, and she’s subsequently had two sons, a daughter, a grandson and a granddaughter who’ve served in the military. grand re-opening 10 “I’m very proud of my family,” she said. “And being asked to be part of the Veterans Day parade is very exciting.” She has lived in MILITARY HONOREES CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 citizen spotlight 13 quotable community: Permit #44 Permit Riverton, UT Riverton, Local Postal Customer Postal Local P A I D I A P “This is pretty much the highest honor ECRWSS U.S. Postage U.S. Presort Std Presort we can achieve as a high school newspaper.” page 2 PAGE 2 | NOVEMBER 2014 TAYLORSVILLE CITY JOURNAL MILITARY HONOREES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 before aircraft flew into Kuwait.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act
    The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back? Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Antiquates the Antiquities Act ERIC C. RUSNAK* The public lands of the United States have always provided the arena in which we Americans have struggled to fulfill our dreams. Even today dreams of wealth, adventure, and escape are still being acted out on these far flung lands. These lands and the dreams-fulfilled and unfulfilled-which they foster are a part of our national destiny. They belong to all Americans. 1 I. INTRODUCTION For some Americans, public lands are majestic territories for exploration, recreation, preservation, or study. Others depend on public lands as a source of income and livelihood. And while a number of Americans lack awareness regarding the opportunities to explore their public lands, all Americans attain benefits from these common properties. Public land affect all Americans. Because of the importance of these lands, heated debates inevitably arise regarding their use or nonuse. The United States Constitution grants to Congress the "[p]ower to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the... Property belonging to the United States." 2 Accordingly, Congress, the body representing the populace, determines the various uses of our public lands. While the Constitution purportedly bestows upon Congress sole discretion to manage public lands, the congressionally-enacted Antiquities Act conveys some of this power to the president, effectively giving rise to a concurrent power with Congress to govern public lands. On September 18, 1996, President William Jefferson Clinton issued Proclamation 69203 under the expansive powers granted to the president by the Antiquities Act4 ("the Act") establishing, in the State of Utah, the Grand * B.A., Wittenberg University, 2000; J.D., The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, 2003 (expected).

  • Mormon Cinema on the Web
    Mormon Cinema on the Web Randy Astle ormon cinema on the Internet is a moving target. Because change M in this medium occurs so rapidly, the information presented in this review will necessarily become dated in a few months and much more so in the years to come. What I hope to provide, therefore, is a snapshot of online resources related to LDS or Mormon cinema near the beginning of their evolution. I believe that the Internet will become the next great force in both Mormon cinema and world cinema in general, if it has not already done so. Hence, while the current article may prove useful for contemporary readers by surveying online resources currently available, hopefully it will also be of interest to readers years from now by provid- ing a glimpse back into one of the greatest, and newest, LDS art forms in its infancy. At the present, websites devoted to Mormonism and motion pictures can be roughly divided into four categories: 1. Those that promote specific titles or production companies 2. Those that sell Mormon films on traditional video formats (primar- ily DVD) 3. Those that discuss or catalog Mormon films 4. Those that exhibit Mormon films online The first two categories can be dealt with rather quickly. Promotional Websites Today standard practice throughout the motion picture industry is for any new film to have a dedicated website with trailers, cast and crew BYU Studies 7, no.

However, we also had the unfortunate experience of wearing out our air conditioner and having to wait a few weeks to have it replaced. On a particularly warm Sunday afternoon, I sought refuge from our hot, stuffy house and spent some time outside—grateful for the relief of a gentle breeze and the cool shade of our covered patio. As I pondered on my temporary hardship, my thoughts—as they often do—turned to the pioneers. In fact, I smiled inwardly as I could hear the spirited words of my youngest daughter echoing back from conversations in the past: “You and your pioneers.” Thinking about her words took me back to a day nearly thirty years ago—the memory preserved perfectly in my mind. I was a teenager somewhere in Provo Canyon, wearing a bonnet, pantaloons, and a calico dress. I was lying face-down in the dirt. The sun was hot and I was physically and emo- tionally spent. My feet were blistered and bleeding and tears were streaming down my dust-covered cheeks as I watched the wagons and handcarts roll on without me. Realizing they were not coming back or slowing down, I willed myself to get up and limped painfully along. I vividly remember ask- ing out loud: “Why? Why would they do it?” Even though at the end of my Pioneer Trek, I boarded an air-conditioned bus and returned home to an air-conditioned house, a hot shower, a soft bed, and a kind-hearted mother who eagerly satisfied my first request—a hot Big Mac sandwich! —that week of temporary hardship had an incredible spiritual impact on me and I have felt a particular kinship to the pioneers ever since.

  • Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill
    Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill Dear partners in affordable housing, The just-released House Republican tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, H.R. 1, proposes to eliminate tax-exempt private activity bonds (PABs), including both multifamily and single-family Housing Bonds issued after 2017. The bill contradicts all previous reports, from sources both in Congress and within the Administration that suggested the bill would maintain tax-exempt PABs. Utah Housing Corporation and all other state HFAs have utilized tax-exempt PABs to fund mortgage loan programs for lower income first time home buyers. Utah Housing has funded some 70,000 single family mortgages and 10,000 multifamily rental housing mortgages for low income tenants using PABs as the source of capital to purchase or make these loans. During the past few years while interest rates have been at all-time lows, these types of bonds have not provided the large spread in mortgage rate funded with PABs they once offered when interest rates were high. However when interest rates ultimately do rise to “normal” levels, we will all look back and be grateful Congress took the long view and not just the short term outlook to make the tax bill “revenue neutral.” As partners working to strengthen affordable housing in Utah we encourage you to immediately contact the Utah Congressional delegation and ask them to communicate to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA) the need to restore tax-exempt private activity Housing Bonds in the tax reform bill, H.R.
