  Embracing Opportunity; Raising Disabled Youth 
  by Sara Mitton

  Throughout Idaho, the families of developmentally disabled children go to great, oftentimes amazing lengths, to get their children the help or care they need to keep them happy and healthy. And while there are a host of individuals and agencies that can help provide the services their children need, what these kids require most are loving, committed, and conscientious parents. Here are the stories of some of those parents and their children.

  Ammon—Spotlight City 
  by Mary Jane Fritzen

  Settled originally by second generation Utah LDS pioneers in search of new land and opportunity and named after an individual in the Book of Mormon, this town of 13,000 has always been predominantly Mormon in composition. Close proximity to a growing Idaho Falls has contributed to a resurgent and energetic town that, while in transition, retains its historical can-do energy and optimism.

  Glen Taylor; Not Just Another Politician
  by Bill Ryan

  One of the most colorful figures to grace the Idaho political stage, Glen Taylor started as a bandleader with the Glendora Players, touring southern Idaho, northern Utah, and the surrounding states with a country-western band. He caught the political bug in 1938, however, and the maverick liberal Democrat spent the better part of the next twenty years campaigning in seven statewide elections (six for the U. S. Senate), winning once. Taylor was an original for any age.
