Comments circling around holding parents responsible for the actions of trespassers
St. Anne’s letters rabidly judgmental To the editor: I applaud April Anderson for her intelligent and merciful letter on the subject of the St. Anne’s retreat trespassing incident (Tuesday, Nov. 4). If any readers missed her latter, it would be worth their while to look back through their newspapers and find it. I, too, have been astonished at how many of the people who have written letters on this subject have been so rabidly judgmental of the teen-agers and their parents. I hope they are just misinformed individuals, rather than the malevolent ones they appear to be in print. I have the feeling that if they had been standing around the adulteress when Jesus said, “He who is without sin among you, let him vast the first stone,” (St. John, Chapter 8) she would have been dead.

St. Anne's opinions formed without facts
Locals responding to the St. Anne's retreat trespassing incident giving their version of the facts.
St. Anne’s opinions formed without facts To the editor: Much has been said about the incident at St. Anne’s retreat concerning the kids and their parents. I am amazed at the number of parents who have commented about this issue, especially those who have done so without all the facts. The fact is these kids are very good kids and have very good parents and for you to judge them as you have done is unfair. Fact-These kids know they have done wrong and so do the parents. No one “whined” to the authorities to try to get anyone off. The landowners dropped the charges completely on their own for whatever reason they had. In fact, they felt bad for what had happened to them and the landowners have actually met with these kids and their parents and he has commented on what great kids they are. Fact-The parents only went to the authorities to try and stop these men from continuing this kind of action again, and maybe against your kids. And you can’t convince me that just because you taught them it will prevent your youth from making any mistakes or to grow through their teen-age years being perfect. If so, I want a leaf from your book. If you think we condoned their action you’re completely mistaken. Fact-The kids showed up around 9, not in the middle of the night as so many of you think. Fact-they showed up in small groups of 2, 4, and 6 not a large group of 30 with intent to do vandalism and attack poor Mr. Jeppson. In their pockets they had gum and chapstick, hardly any attack tools. Fact-The kids were attacked, some not even on the property yet, and were taken by gunpoint to the pool, tied up etc. You know the rest of the story. This wasn’t a necessary protection tactic, it was a very cruel one that they laughed and joked about. He told them “it was a great adrenaline rush and to run because they would love to shoot their legs off.” If this is proper treatment for citizens to inflect on trespassers, what should we (as citizens) do to other Cache Valley people who speed, beat their children or their wife, or even avoid child support. They also have broken the law and made a mistake. Is it their parents fault (maybe) and should we tie them up and shoot at them? I would hope not. I think as parents aw need to help offer the youth wholesome activities and not sit around and judge these parents on who has taught their kids the best and most valuable lessons. Sue Griffin Newton

Several legend verisons of St. Anne's Retreat from student fieldwork collection assignments.
Legend "Saint Anne's Retreat" Informant data: Marsha Jenkins Pine Glen Cove, Logan Canyon June of 1978 Retold October of 1983 Marsha Jenkins is from Newton, Utah. She was born and raised there and was affiliated with the M.I.A. program in the Newton ward for several years for the L.D.S. Church. She was a camp leader and accompanied the girls to a Young Womens camp held at Pine Glen Cove about 9 miles up Logan Canyon. We'd all gather around the fire place in the big lodge before going to our cabins to tell and listen to stories. This was the one that really got to us! Pine Glen Cove was previously known as "St. Anne's Retreat" because each summer a gr oup of Nun s from the Catholic Chur ch would visit the retreat for relaxation and meditation. Until the tragedy. The radio's and television sets blared with the news that an escaped convict was wandering through Logan Canyon. He had one hook arm add was armed with a dangerous weapon. People were warned to stay clear of the canyon and to stay inside where they were sa~ e. The nuns, however didn't have any contact with the outside world. That very evening one of the sisters was missing. The other sisters looked around as much as they could but decided she was just meditating or that she had gone back to her cabin early. The next morning she still hadn't returned. They looked most of the day but found nothing. That evening as some of the Nuns were praying, they heard a horrible scream. They ran directly outside to see what the trouble was and there was the missing Sister ... Bloody and floating in the swimming pool. After that episode they sold the retreat. never :Eo.und.

Contextual Data: I learned this item from Tim after I asked him if he'd heard any stories of St. Anne's Retreat. Tim heard this story from his friend's mother who has lived in Logan for some tir.le. This is the story as he related it to me. Up Logan Canyon there is an old Catholic Convent. It consists of several cabins and there is also a swimming pool. This convent is abandoned now but nuns used to occupy it. The Hother Superior, or whatever it is, the head nun who was over the nuns who lived up there , was supposed to be kind of sadistic. She would lock her nuns in their cabins and leave them there for no one knows how long . There are scratches on the cabin walls with blood stains where the nuns tried to claw their way out.

Lj . r Legend "The Baby in the Fireplace" Informant data: Myself Logan, Utah 1974 (approx.) I was born May 24, 1960 in Logan, Utah, to parents of English ancestry. I lived in California for six years, then we moved back to Logan. I was educated in the Logan City Schools, and am current­ly a senior at Utah state University majoring in music. I am a mem­ber of the L.D.S. church and enjoy tennis, raquetball, skiing, camp­ing, and music of all kinds. I am currently serving as the Young Women's camp specialist for my stake. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Contextual data: I heard this story while I was attending a girl's camp at Camp Lomia in Logan Canyon. Our whole group had gathered in the lodge, which is where this story is supposed to have taken place. The fact that we were in that place made the story even scarier to us. As soon as the meeting was over, we ran out of the lodge and back to our tents as fast as we could. I'm not sure the story is actually true, but it was told as a true story and all of us believed it at the time. It was probably just told to scare us to death, and it worked: Ever since then, I have told the story to other groups and in other situations, but it seems like I always get the best re­action from the audience when I tell it in the lodge. This shows me how important a role the setting can play in the telling of a story. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Many years ago, before cabins were built at Camp Lomia, the girls used to sleep in bunk beds in the upper story of the lodge. One night the girls were awakened by the sound of a baby's cry. They couldn't tell where the sounds were coming from, but every night they were there they heard the same cries. Finally, the girls became so terrified that they had to leave camp early. Even after the girls were home, however, they were still very frightened and many of them started having nightmares. The families of these girls decided to conduct a search of the lodge to see if they could locate the source of the cries. A group of men went up one night and waited in the top floor of the lodge. Just after midnight, the cries of a small baby could be heard clearly by everyone present. It seemed to fill the entire room. The men finally determined that the cries were coming from the fireplace at one end of the room. Upon closer inspection, they foudn that one of the stones was loose. L ~ I /, )~. /, ( ( They removed the stone and found the skeletal remains of a newborn baby. It was later learned that the lodge had once been used as a retreat for Catholic nuns. Apparently, one of the nuns had been pregnant and had gone to the lodge to have her baby. Unable to face the humiliation of her situation, she buried the newborn alive in the fireplace.

He is a political science major and plans on attending law school the fall of 1985. Contextual data: Text I collected this item while I was in the library studying with Scott. Since he is a native of Logan I thought he would probably know the story of St. Ann's retreat. I asked him to tell me his version after hearing one of his friends tell another version. The three of us were sitting in the library together when Scott told us this story. Scott does not believe this story to be true. He thinks that something probably did happen at the retreat, but he has no idea what it was. They had a bunch of nuns killed up there [St. Ann's Retreat] • On a certain occasion some marshalls went to investigate it, and when they arrived they found one nun who was lacking an ar~ and had a golden one instead. When they got there she was crouched over one nun finishing her off with a hatchet. They tried to apprehend her, and she ran off into the hills and was never found. She is still up there and that is why you shouldn't go. 2 Lisa Canfield Logan, utah USU Folklore Winter 1984 ( ( Superstition Folk Belief "GHOST AT SAINT ANN" Informant Data: MAFW: L1JA I TE Logan, Utah aul'/ 5, 84 Mark Waite~ 18~ was born in Logan, Utah.

After the first Doberman was attacking the truck~ they saw the nun disappear and reappear with another one until there were six of them. Steve eventually got his truck started and drove away. When Steve got home, his parents thought he had rolled the truck over, because there were scratches and a broken wi ndo~'-J.

Of course it was soon noticed that several of the nuns were ,disappearing, and so one of the nuns, who was very pure and had no idea what was going on, was asked to investigate and see where they were disappearing to. So one night she followed the priest and one of his favorite nuns down to the pond. When she saw what he was doing, she yelled out and tried to jump on him to save the poor nun and her child. But it was too late--they were already dead. The priest was really scared this righteous nun he hadn't been able to victimize and blackmail would tell on hjm, so he grabbed ' her by the neck and choked her to death. Then he threw her body into the pond. The next mornin§, they found her body--and the priest was gone! They searched for him for a long time, but so far, they have not found him.

I knew this would be a great opportunity to prime him for a collector story so I asked him instead, what he knew of it, and turned on a tape recorder. Robert learned about the nunnery (St. Ann's Retreat) from some friends that had gone up there two or three days earlier. The following is a verbatim transcription from a tape. Text: Me and my friend took these two girls up to the nunnery I heard about to try and scare them you know; I guess what it is up there was a place for pregnant nuns to go away and stay so they wouldn't shame the churbh. There was supposed to be this one young nun named Anna or something and they locked her up in this cabin. She had a bunch of dogs as pets. When she had her baby, I guess he grew up and went crazy and killed his Mom and dogs and a bunch of other people cause he found out he was a bastard. Anyway I don't believe all that crap about it so we went to scare girls just for the fun of it. We parked my car on the side of the highway by where there's a gate thats locked closed that goes across a bridge and then up to it. We went to the first building that looks like a castle and all of a sudden one of the girls screamed and said she seen something running through the bushes. We laughed and said she was crazy, but then I heard something too. We went back to the car except I stopped and looked back and there was a big dobber man pinscer just standing there looking at me.

We moved to Logan when he was four years old and he received a High School education in the Logan City School District. Presently he is employed at Morton-Thiokol Chemical Company, is married and has a baby boy. Contextual Data: Michael heard this story while attending Logan High. He and his friend Scott would double date and sometimes take their dates up Logan Canyon and park at the site of St. Ann's Retreat. To frighten their dates and perhaps encourage a little cuddling they would tell the girls this story. Text: Hedika was the head nun of St. Ann's Retreat, which was a nunnery. It was her responsibility to keep things running smoothly. Sometimes groups of miners and sheepherders would travel through and associate with the nuns. Any babies that were born, Hedika would dispose of. She got so sick of this terrible duty, and so aggravated with the misbehavior of her sister nuns that she went crazy and killed all the nuns also. Then she lived alone in the nunnery with a large group of dogs until she died. Now when people drive down the canyon at night,sometimes they will see her large pack of wild dogs standing beside the highway, with their eyes reflecting in the headlights. Those who are brave enough to park at night near the nunnery will hear the wild dogs howling and Hedika's voice mourning and wailing. ***************** I asked Michael if he believed the story. He told me the he did believe was that it was a nunnery. I asked him if on the girls--if they wanted to cuddle after hearing it.

They moved back to Cache Valley when Troy was in the Fourth Grade. He was not a member of the Mormon Church but became acquainted with their teachings. Contextual data: While sleeping-out in the back yard of a friend's, the conversation turned to ghost stories. The story I am about to tell was told to me and one other, by a friend. If you go up Logan Canyon to 3rd dam and cross the bridge -k L~ into the Spring Hollow area or go the Q,Yarry up Providence Canyon, you can summon the Devil's wife, her name is Heckada. My friends's brother's girlfriend's brother had a friend that did this very thing. He and a date went up to the Spring Hollow area, for some romancing. After being turned down he got out of the car and yelled the phrase "Heckada, come get me". this was the saying that you needed to say to get Heckada to appear. After saying it a few times he returned to the car. His date was scared, which was his main intention for doing the little prank, or so he thought. After a few minutes of sitting there they began to hear dogs barking, they looked up and saw a green glowing chariot L). ,/' J ~.

At about the same instance the doors locked, the boy and date was pretty scared by this time so the boy tried to get the car started but it seemed like the battery was dead, nothing would start or no lights would come on. By this time the wolves were on the hood of the car clawing at it and growling. The mistress stared into the boy's eyes and said "I have come for you" . The boy freaked out and didn't know what to do, the girl was screaming and crying. Then the boy remembered to say "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave", at the very instance of saying that, the mistress and her wolves dissappe2 r ed. The boy then started the car and returned to Logan. Upon returning to his date's house they looked at the hood and saw scratches that the wolves had left. Troy Anderson Providence, Utah 84332 Utah State University Engl/Hist 124 Winter Quarter 1987 Comments: The underlying meaning is that the boy is being agressive, and the girl is refusing, just like society wants to see and hear it. This refusal frustratesl the boy, which in turn makes him bring terrible things upon him and the girl.

I lived near my grandparents who were of Scandinavian and Eng~ish ancestory . They waRd often tell stories to me and all their grandchildren whenever we were with them . This built a love in me to hear stories and I became fond of history and folklore . I am now attending U. S. U., majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Social Studies . Several quarters back , I took a storytelling class . We often told stories to each other and it was in t his class that one of the students , Polly Baugh from Smithfield, related this story . She made the atmosphere in the room very eerie--lights out and a candle burning , etc . I will retell the story to the best of my memory . There is a particular canyon near Preston where an old Catholic monast~ry can be found . It was abandoned after a particular event had taken place there . During the summer time , many nuns would go up to the monastery for a break or for workshops or other reasons . This one time there was a nun who was quite contanckerous . She was really against one nun and was always arguing wi th her , back­biting , or fighting . Outside one building was a cement swimming pool . (I think it was either the mess hall or the sleeping quarters!) One night these two nuns started arguing and wrestling around the pool . The nicer of the two accidentally pushed the mean one into the pool and she hit her head on the bottom of the pool which killed her . This really scared the one nun and she ran and got the Mother Superior . They didn ' t want to raise a fuss in the camp and so the two of them hauled her body up the canyon in the early morning hours and dropped her body over the edge of some cliffs . No one really missed this nun because no one really associated with her . They figured she had just got discusted and left the camp . The next night after the drowning , the one nun couldn ' t sleep very well . The wind was blowing and something kept banging at her door . She finally got up and looked out and near the pool she could see this mean nun and she had two mean dogs on a leash whose eyes were burning green and the nun looked like a witch with red eyes . She started laughing at the nun which scared her all the more . It was a very wicked laugh at that . The dogs were barking and snarling with foam at their mouths . When the nun looked out again , they were gone . This happened several nights in a row. Sometimes they would also see this image with a lantern walking along the cliff~s edge where the body had been thrown . One night the wind started blowing really hard again and there was a slight rain . Again the nun could hear things bang­ing on her door . She looked out and saw this mean nun with her dogs . As she laughed uncontrolably , she took the lantern she was holding and flung it at the building . The lantern broke and burst into flames . The fire got out of control due to the wind . 1-.~.

Watchmen cahrged with tying up and terrorizing 38 trespassing teenagers at St. Anne's retreat will go to trial for their charges.
St. Anne’s trio bound over for trial By Ryan Robb Oliver Staff writer A 1st District Court judge determined Thursday there was enough evidence to order the trial of three men charged with tying up and terrorizing 38 trespassers at the St. Anne’s Retreat. John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, and Arthur Peasnall and Chris Doerr, both of Tooele County, face six counts of aggravated assault. Jeppson will face an additional charge of forcible sexual abuse. “This was expected,” said Doerr’s public defender Barbara Lachmar after the hearing. Lachmar said the defense does not present most of its evidence until trial. Sexual abuse charges had originally been filed against all three men by the Cache County Attorney’s Office. But after listening to two days of preliminary hearing testimony from alleged victims and police officers who arrived at the retreat in Logan Canyon, Judge Clint Judkins dropped the sex charges against Doerr and Peasnall, saying prosecutors failed to bring forward enough evidence. A 17-year old Smithfield girl had testified Wednesday that only Jeppson touched her buttocks and breasts before he tied her up, supposedly checking her for weapons. Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt said he sought sex abuse charges against all three men because they were acting in concert with one another. The three men are accused of violently detaining several groups of teen-age and young adult trespassers at the retreat Oct. 10. The three allegedly wielded shotguns with flashlights strapped to the barrels, which they allegedly fired into the air and threatened to kill the trespassers with if they didn’t follow orders to get on the ground. The 38 people would later be handcuffed and bound around their necks with a cord until police arrived. Defense attorneys for the three men mounted no significant attacks on the testimony of the six alleged victims in the two-day preliminary hearing. Jeppson’s attorney, David Perry, appeared he was laying the groundwork for a defense based on his client feeling threatened by the trespassers and taking reasonable measures to respond to that threat. One blow to the defense came out of Thursday’s testimony by a Cache County sheriff’s investigator. Lt. Von Williamson said not only did the three men possibly go beyond what’s allowed under law to stop trespassers, but they didn’t even [have] a right to stop anyone because the St. Anne’s Retreat is on leased U.S. Forest Service land. “According to their special-use permit, they are not authorized to prevent people from walking on their property,” Williamson said. Wyatt also said Jeppson, who was allowed by the wonders of the retreat’s buildings to tend the property, was never given permission by them to act as a security guard. “The message here is don’t defend someone else’s property without their permission,” he said. The men are scheduled to be arraigned March 23.

Prosecutors add sexual assault charges to list of charges against security guards who terrorized 38 trespassing teenagers at St. Anne's retreat.
St. Anne’s trio hit with more charges - Prosecutors add sexual assault to list By Ryan Robb Oliver Staff writer Additional criminal charges were filed Monday in 1st District Court against three men accused of terrorizing 38 teen-agers and young adults at the St. Anne’s Retreat in Logan Canyon on Oct. 10. John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, Christopher Doer [Doerr] and Arthur Peasnall, both of Tooele County, were charged with forcible sexual abuse in addition to the six charges of aggravated assault that had been filed against each of them in October. A preliminary hearing on all seven charges against the three men has been set for Wednesday in 1st District Court. Cache County Deputy Attorney Don Linton said the latest sex abuse charges stem from an investigation into a statement by one of the teen-agers who said Jeppson had felt her breasts with his hands under her shirt and on top of her bra. Jeppson told police he was checking her for weapons, according to a Cache County sheriff’s report. The three men were arrested after a sheriff’s investigation determined they had gone too far when they detained eight trespassers at the St. Anne’s property on the morning of Oct. 10 and 30 more trespassers later in the evening. Then teen-agers and young adults said they went onto the property in search of a Halloween thrill. After entering the gates they said, they were detained by the three men, who were yelling threats and wielding shotguns with flashlights taped to the barrels. In both instances, the trespassers were bound with cords around their necks and handcuffed. The latter group would be placed in an empty swimming pool until deputy sheriffs arrived. The St. Anne’s Retreat property is owned by four people from outside Cache County. Jeppson was allowed to use it in exchange for helping maintain the grounds. Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt has said he doesn’t intend to call all 38 alleged victims to testify in court. Instead, Wyatt said he’ll call a few people to testify on several specific criminal acts that allegedly took place. A sheriff’s report based on interviews with the trio and the trespassers alleges the following took place that day in addition to the sexual assault: -Jeppson placed a revolver to one woman’s head, threatened to kill her, moved the gun away from her head and then fired it. -The three men fired their shotguns at or near the trespassers and threatened to kill them by “blowing their heads off.” Jeppson fired one shot at a tree, which showered several people forced to lie under it with debris. He told them if they didn’t believe that he would kill them, they could look at the 6-inch hole put in the tree. -One juvenile was knocked unconscious and suffered a concussion after he was struck in the head with the butt of a shotgun by one of the men. -Another juvenile was told to spread her legs while being held at gunpoint and then kicked in the crotch. -A juvenile was held by her hair by one of the men and had her head yanked back, aggravating a previous spinal condition. -A male juvenile was punched in the mouth by one of the men holding him at gunpoint. The three men have since been released on bail from the Cache County Jail. Misdemeanor trespass charges were originally filed against the juveniles and young adults but were later dropped by Wyatt at the request of the property owners. Wyatt was criticized in the community for dropping the charges by many people who said the actions the three men took were a reasonable and prudent response for dealing with trespassers on a property all too often plagued by vandals.

Article discusses former property co-owner , Mark Epstein, stating that the guards at St. Anne's retreat were not paid guards and their actions were not directed by the owners.
St. Anne’s trio not paid guards By Ryan Robb Olivar Staff writer An owner of the former St. Anne’s Convent in Logan Canyon said the [that] the three men accused of terrorizing trespassers on the property were not paid employees. Part-owner and San Francisco attorney Mark Epstein said one of the accused men, John Jeppson, was allowed to use the property in exchange for tending it. The property was purchased more than three years ago from the Catholic Church by Epstein and three other people intending to use it as a get-away spot, he said. Jeppson is one of the men accused by two groups of Cache County teen-agers and young adults who trespassed on the property Friday of binding them with cords around their necks and flexible ties around their wrists while he held them at bay with a shotgun. The two other men allegedly wielding shotguns and threatening the trespassers have been identified as Arthur Peasnall and Christopher Doerr of Tooele County. Epstein said he did not know Peasnall or Doerr, or why they were with Jeppson on Friay. “I don’t know exactly what went on that night,” Epstein said. “But no one is going to tell anybody to chase down a bunch of people and tie them around the neck.” If Jeppson did that, it was not something directed by any of the property owners, he said. Tim Bradfield of Logan, who was taking care of the property before Jeppson replaced him six weeks ago, said he was told by property owners that if a problem occurred to call the sheriff. “They never told me to physically detain people,” Bradfield said. “I think these people were acting of their own accord,” Epstein said one thing that might have been frustrating for Jeppson was the amount of damage caused by vandals. “We’ve incurred in excess of $100,000 in property damage.” Another thing that may have disturbed him was on early Friday morning, he captured eight people banging on the front doors of the main building who told him they’d come back to get him, Epstein said. Several of the people Jeppson detained in that first incident have told The Herald Journal they were bound with rope around their necks and were forced to sit in a circle until sheriff’s deputies arrived and arrested them for trespassing. When an unrelated group of 30 people snuck through the gate’s door on Friday night, the trespassers were this time stopped at the door by Jeppson and his shotgun-wielding companions, according to the sheriff’s department. Cache County Sheriff Lynn Nelson said his office is trying to determine if the men were threatened and were acting upon that threat when they violently detained the second group of trespassers. But he said he hasn’t been able to substantiate any threats and that both groups of trespassers were treated with equal force. The parents of the trespassers and the community ought to know the Sheriff’s Office is taking the allegations made by the trespassers very seriously, said Nelson, who spent much of Monday answering questions from Utah news media and two syndicated television news magazines, including Inside Edition. The kids were wrong to trespass, he said, but they were just looking to have some fun. “The big issue here is what these other guys did to them.” Nelson said all indications so far indicate that Jeppson and his two companions went beyond what was appropriate. Jeppson began tending the property six weeks ago because of his experience as a carpenter, according to several sources. Morris Pitcher, who attends church with Jeppson, said the man moved to Cache Valley last spring from Pocatello, Idaho to take care of his invalid mother. He sold his home and gave up his job to come here, Pitcher said. When his mother got a little better and didn’t need his help, Pitcher said Jeppson asked around in the church ward if people knew where he could find work. It was then that he got hooked up with the people at the St. Anne’s property and was allowed a place to stay if he fixed it up and tended it. “He’s got a good heart that guy,” Pitcher said. “But maybe this job wasn’t particularly suited to him.” Jeppson couldn’t be reached for comments.

St. Anne's watchman a hero just doing his job
Herald Journal guest commentary about the trespassing incident involving armed guards in 1997
St. Anne’s watchman a hero just doing his job Guest commentary Jake Jeppson I am writing this as an answer to the recent articles and reports in the local media concerning my brother, John Jeppsen, who is the lead watchman at St. Anne’s Retreat. I feel it’s necessary to bring out some facts that have not been mentioned, and to say something about circumstances involved. It is my understanding that the shotgun shells which John had were loaded with rock salt. Years ago these were used for raiders of melon patches, hen houses, private outhouses or stray dogs. These to sting severely, not kill. A great to-do was made about the fellow that was knocked unconscious. Nothing is said about him coming up behind John to jump him during the arrests. John was an Airborne Ranger in Europe. Rangers are one of three groups of America’s finest fighting men. John was not, nor is he, a Vietnam vet (with mental and emotional problems), as earlier articles implied. Emotions? Name me as any man anywhere who would not be wound tight while arresting 38 people as big as himself in the darkness or poor light, alone, in Logan Canyon at that time of day? Especially in view of the monetary value of property damage at the site and the later made threats which I know were made. Nothing has been said about the threats made against John; i.e. “We’re coming back to get you.” There are inconsistencies in the young people’s stories. The Herald Journal stories say the trespassers were arrested just inside the gate. An article in the Statesman quotes a young man as saying “just as he jumped down into the empty pool.” Another was that the fellow who was knocked out was struck with a billy club. That man was struck with a bullstroke (military term), from the shotgun butt as he attempted to jump on John’s back. In other words, John did his job (a tough one) and got the attacker before he could get him. The rope and knots are a tool to contain and retain prisoners as taught to the Airborne Rangers. The knot is not a “slip-knot” nor a “hangman’s knot” as implied. It is a knot like the “bowline” used to tie boats or tie a horse “expressly) because the knot will not slip. The loop is tied loosely or semi-loosely as needed to hold. The owner of the property says he was “allowing John to stay there.” As if John was some homeless poor soul. John may have been staying there as part of their agreement, but he has a beautiful wife who is a fine woman, with whom he lives and they live with and care for our mother who is convalescing from a broken hip and joint replacement. The home they are living in is a very neat, clean and modern brick home in Providence with several bedrooms. Now about the vandalism which is occurring all over our area. I was on top of Logan Canyon yesterday and stopped to use the public restrooms near Peter Sinks. On the older building the door had been totally ripped off and destroyed. There were unspeakable things which had been done inside and outside the restrooms. This is common all over now. Several years ago there was a movie made called Walking Tall. It was a true story about a sheriff down south who was man enough to take on a corrupt system and individuals with his famous pick handle. He became a national hero. Two or three movies were made about his life. Then there are the Rooster Cogburns and Big Jake’s of John Wayne. We cheer these men, yet seek to destroy a man who is striving to do his job and enforce the right of property owners to have their property be secure. In Salt Lake City yesterday, a police officer was acquitted for shooting a dog while he was jogging. The owners were allowing it to run loose and get in trouble. Needless to say isn’t it lucky we don’t have such a law for kids and parents who cannot control their children and are embarrassed at the stunts they pull. I know, I have six of my own, two step-children and 22 grandchildren. Some of the finest people I know are also sharing this problem. A remark was made in a commentary about the legends of St. Anne’s retreat, that a certain prominent attorney said he used to go up there when he was a kid, too. I don’t care if it was Thomas Jefferson, would that make breaking the law right? Or trespassing/vandalism? John may not have done everything perfect, but who could under such conditions. In my mind, John is a fine man, made of the stuff heroes are made of. If you think not-you try arresting 30 hell-raising young adults in the dark, lonely, middle of the night.
