people who started my father
on his journey. He was a lov-
ing man who did what he
could when he could for
people.
I’ve heard many times not
to hold grudges against
people—It only lets them win.
I refuse to mock people also
if they can’t cinch up loose
ends, but thank you for try-
ing. Thank you to whoever it
is who sends me prayers from
the Baptist Church. They are
well needed and received.

Hayden Heath joined the Lyle Gap 4-H float for the Jefferson County Fourth
of July Parade. Each of the participants wore a mask and socially
distanced. There is no county fair this year; so the parade was the chance
for the 4-H students to express their appreciation for the continued support.

To homeplate
Every day behind these
walls makes me remember
when I was a kid—In the
playground hanging off the
monkey bars, upside down
staring into the deep blue
skies—Just laughing with de-
light!
Growing up playing base-
ball and the teenage girls
cheering me on, running fast
from base to base—Just to
make it to home plate, nice
and safe!
What joy it was when I got
my first girlfriend, telling me
she was the loudest one yell-
ing for me, cheering loud—
Sheez, Remember those
days?
Today, I’m running in
circles wishing for the times
again, running around
those bases, those happy
days…
Can you remember
reaching home plate, being
safe and happy? Life rolls
on…
And I’m hoping to reach
home one more time… One
more run to homeplate!

Apologies
To Naomi B.,
I’m sorry for my actions
in October of 1997. And
I’m sorry for lying in the
original apology letter, act-
ing like I didn’t do it, back
in 2000. And I apologize to
the community. Sincerely,
Sampson Tyler Price Sr.
To the community of Warm
Springs,
I am writing this letter of
apology regarding my ac-
tions on March 23, 2020. I
am very sorry for my action,
and putting the community
in danger the way I did. This
has been a very eye opening
experience, and I believe it
will make me a better per-
son by learning from my
poor judgment. I will carry
these lessons with me to
make sure it doesn’t happen
again. Sincerely,
KC
Jensen.
