June 7, 2010 Hayden Lake artist leaves lasting imprint on change
By Kara Houser, Staff WriterShare:  
June 7, 2010 — Do you ever get change at the store and wonder who designs the art on each coin? If you happen to come across the North Dakota or American Samoa quarters, those designs are all thanks to Steve Clark, a local artist from the Hayden Lake Third Ward, Hayden Lake Idaho Stake.

Clark has been employed at Sunshine Mint (previously associated with the Sunshine Mine) for 7-and-a-half years where he has designed coinage and now manages new product development. In the early part of 2004, he heard about the U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program, which began with the state quarter designs and continues today with new projects such as the National Parks quarters and the First Spouse gold coins.
"I have to give credit to my wife for getting me involved," said Clark. "I thought it sounded kind of neat, but I didn't feel like I had the time to jump through a bunch of hoops - but she encouraged me to just do it."

Me in 30-Seconds - The key to your future
The Church's new employment Web site, LDSJobs.org, is not just another job board. Yes! It has jobs. It also has the ability to allow employers to search for qualified candidates to fill job openings.
When you create your LDSJobs.org account, you have to answer a lot of questions. Then you are faced with even more questions. "Me in 30-seconds," power statements, skills, education, work history, even which languages you speak. These employment people are really nosey, aren't they? Do they really need all of this information?
