From The San Francisco Sentinel:
Two missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints received a scare on the night of Dec. 2 when they saw what they think was a set of sasquatch footprints outside of their Burns Lake home.
Tyler Beck and Brad Blazzard are in B.C. for two years, rotating in different communities throughout the Smithers and Burns Lake area for the past seven months.
“The first thing we thought was that someone was playing a trick on us,” Beck said.
“But we don’t know anyone our age who would do that and our house in on the southside, so pretty much in the middle of nowhere.”
The footprints, which Beck said was about 20 inches long is right in front of Beck’s porch, leading to the path where the pair keep their wood shed.
Beck said prior to finding the footprint at 9:30 p.m. on the night of Dec. 2, he didn’t really believe in the possibility of bigfoot.
“I still don’t know what to think,” he said.
“I have heard some pretty ridiculous things about bigfoot but now I am leaning toward the edge of thinking it may be possible.”
The house sits in front of a lake and Beck said in the four-and-a-half months he has been there, he has seen all manner of coyotes and wolves. This is the first time he has seen any sign of the fabled creature.
In addition to a rash of sightings in the Bulkley Valley in the summer and fall, Larry Sommerfield, a self-proclaimed sasquatch hunter from Terrace had a cast that he claimed was a sasquatch print.
Sommerfield was reluctant to tell The Terrace Standard how he came into possession of the 16-inch long cast, except to say that it was made in mid-August from a footprint found in a gravel pit just east of the Kitselas First Nation’s subdivision east of Terrace on Highway 16. (cont.)
In September, Forbes listed Salt Lake City as No. 8 of America’s 10 most stressful cities. The capitol of Zion came in behind Chicago, New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Cleveland.
8. Rawlins, Wyo. I spent a highly stressful night freezing to death in a VW bug here after the highway patrol closed Interstate-80 during a blizzard.
3. Columbia, S.C. I did basic training here. Given the opportunity again, I’d rather spend the same amount of time without pants in a Loobyville cornfield.
President of the Russian Association of Centers for Religious and Sectarian Studies Professor Alexander Dvorkin is concerned with Mormon activities in the Russian Federation.
It all started innocently enough. It was meatball marinara sub day at Jefferson High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. And it was spring. Who could have guessed those two elements would be potentially explosive?
In the Mormon Church, everyone gets a job. Well, almost everyone. Little kids are exempted, as well as the infirm, but everyone else is a candidate for “volunteer” employment.
