Eleven year old Kyle Dalley remains hospitalized after an accident on the mesa east of the valley. What started out as a jeep ride became a scorching desert ordeal for the Bevan Dalley family after their jeep veered out of control and flipped over on its side, trapping Kyle between the jeep and the sand. Older brother Lon ran 2 ½ miles for help. Flight for Life transported Kyle to UMC, where it was determined that he had severe muscle and nerve injuries as well as severed arteries in both legs.

Bumper Vegetable Crop
A bumper vegetable crop was still being produced by Vito Amedeo in his Main Street garden center in Overton. He is pictured here with part of what he considers a record size radish crop. The red radishes measure about six inches in length and in circumference. Amedeo credits the large growth to the numerous kinds of fertilizer he uses in preparation.
