been on both sides. Former sheriff
William “Dub” Lawrence estab-
lished Utah's first SWAT team, only

troversial standoff 30 years later. Now a private inves-

MAR 2 Healing Our
Japanese Garden
From 1985-88 the Evergreen
Garden Club built the library’s Japanese Garden. For
more than 30 years the club’s volunteers have raised
funds and generously donated their own time,
money and materials to maintain the garden. On the
morning of January 28, we found the garden vandal-
ized. Trees were destroyed, boulders unseated from
the retaining wall, a stone bench and flagstones
cracked, plants trampled. The library set up a fund-
raiser, and the club went into action. Soon there
were enough funds to repair, and even improve the
Japanese Garden, so the club decided to expand the
garden. Through generous volunteer efforts and do-
nations, misfortune was transformed into opportu-
nity. What was a tragedy has become an inspiration.
Donations keep coming, and can be made at the li-
brary, or online at gofundme.com/JapaneseGarden .
There is a Japanese word, Kintsugi, which speaks to
the beauty of repairing what is broken. Thank you to
all who assist with this beautiful act of Kintsugi.
“One sure window into
a person's soul is his
reading list.
