BYU graduate captures moments with Big Picture Scrapbooking
By McKay Allen, Guest ContributorShare:
May 3, 2010 —  Stacy Julian has a bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology from BYU. Now she runs the largest scrapbooking education Web site in the world out of her home in Spokane.
And to her it makes perfect sense.
"It's all the Holy Ghost," she says.
Things just sort of fell into place. Scrapbooking for Stacy Julian began as a young mother's hobby - but eventually people were paying her to speak about it and write about it. She wrote for a magazine called "Creating Keepsakes" for four years. After that, she started her own magazine in 2002 called "Simple Scrapbook."
"It got to the point where as founding editor of the magazine I was required to travel to events," she says. "One year I was invited to South Africa to talk about scrapbooks and I thought 'It's a once in a lifetime thing."'
But the next year the same group invited her to speak in South Africa again.

Modern-day pioneer - Hayden mayor makes impact on church, civic fronts
By Gloria Warnick, Staff WriterShare:
May 3, 2010 —  It's Pioneer Day in Gardnerville, Nevada, a small town near the California border.
The nation is caught in the turmoil and uncertainty of a world at war, but an LDS ward finds strength in the stories of ancestors who migrated across the plains, overcoming a steady storm of trials. Ron McIntire, 6 years old at the time, recalls the celebration.
"That was really a special event," McIntire said. "World War ll was going on and the ward had everyone together. There were probably two or three thousand Church members and I remember singing "Come Come Ye Saints." We didn't have to dress up as pioneers because we were the pioneers."
Years later, McIntire, a member of the Hayden Lake First Ward in Hayden, Idaho, has continued in the footsteps of the Mormon faithful who traveled west, establishing communities that still thrive today. McIntire devotes time as a Spokane Temple ordinance worker and serves as the Mayor of Hayden. He formerly served as stake president of the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Stake and the Hayden Lake, Idaho Stake.
