Zion road to remain open during daytime hours

Business owners near the east entrance to Zion National Park will get some relief: Work on a $6 million road project will now be done at night.

For the fourth time in less than three weeks, the construction schedule of the Zion-Mount Carmel road project has been changed, this time to accommodate Kane County business owners.

Last week, business owners and elected officials met with the park superintendent to complain they were losing money because construction was keeping the east entrance closed on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. About a third of the park’s 2.7 million visitors in 2009 used that entrance.

Park spokesman Erik de Groat said Monday the road will now be closed from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., Sunday through Thursday. The entrance will be open 24 hours a day on weekends and holidays.

The park and all services, including the shuttle, visitor center and Zion Lodge, are not impacted by the construction.

De Groat did not know when the new schedule would go into effect, but said it would be no later than June 27.

Thanks to all of the people who backed us up here on Free Republic.

[Utah Binger]

Zion will stay open ping.

Thanks for all of your good support.

[Tennessee Nana]

Great

[Tennessee Nana]

I saw this in the line up and thought...

Oh good...I wonder if UB knows about this

LOL

[Utah Binger]

Thanks. I guess protests work. All my liberal friends are calling me a tea partier. I tell them that’s an honorable thing to be and they should try it some time.

And the local ward members now are certain that an apostate has a few qualities. “But you know he doesn’t keep the WOW”.

[Elsie]

And to the LORD; who works in mysterious ways...

[Elsie]

“But you know he doesn’t keep the WOW”.

Big deal!

I'll bet that 'they' add few things TO the WoW; just like Eve said to Satan!

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 89

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. HC 1: 327–329. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result. The first three verses were originally written as an inspired introduction and description by the Prophet.

 

1–9, Use of wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks proscribed; 10–17, Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals; 18–21, Obedience to gospel law, including the Word of Wisdom, brings temporal and spiritual blessings.

 

  1 A ^aWord OF Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—

  2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the ^aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and ^bwill of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—

  3 Given for a principle with ^apromise, adapted to the capacity of the ^bweak and the weakest of all ^csaints, who are or can be called saints.

  4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of ^aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of ^bconspiring men in the last days, I have ^cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—

  5 That inasmuch as any man ^adrinketh ^bwine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.

  6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, ^apure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.

  7 And, again, ^astrong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.

  8 And again, tobacco is not for the ^abody, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.

  9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.

  10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome ^aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—

  11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with ^aprudence and ^bthanksgiving.

  12 Yea, ^aflesh also of ^bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used ^csparingly;

  13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be ^aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or ^bfamine.

  14 All ^agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;

  15 And ^athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

  16 All grain is good for the ^afood of man; as also the ^bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—

  17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

  18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ^ashall receive ^bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;

  19 And shall ^afind ^bwisdom and great ^ctreasures of ^dknowledge, even hidden treasures;

  20 And shall ^arun and not be ^bweary, and shall walk and not faint.

  21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the ^adestroying angel shall ^bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

not by commandment

Three words I always tried to live by.

[Utah Binger]

And to the LORD; who works in mysterious ways...

Indeed!

[mrreaganaut]

“But you know he doesn’t keep the WOW”

Don't you have decaf?

Just kidding; congratulations!

[reaganaut]

Congrats!

[Elsie]

That’s a LOT cheaper than gas!

[Elsie]

And...

...it looks VERY much like that in the heat of the afternoon - the clear sky let’s the sun burn the contrast away; leaving the washed out colors. But, as the sun descends, the vivid colors return; delighing the eye and soothing the soul.

[Godzilla]

Thats good news Binger!

[Utah Binger]

And then there was night.

[Elsie]

Ah, yes; night.

When the full moon is in the sky, one needs no flashlight to walk the path or even headlights to illuminate the road:

and BILLIONS more stars that we midwesterners have EVER seen through our veil of mist.
