On October 15 an exhibit opened featuring the awe-inspiring work of Cedar City native, and Springdale resident Jimmie Jones. As a part of the exhibit is the showing of a 30-minute video documentary, Jimmie Jones-Red Rock Painter by University professors Jon Smith and James Aton.

Amid injury and personal issues, Cassie Jones, the 6′3″ forward/center with Lady Thunderbird basketball, left the team in the middle of last season.

Friday Journal talked with Cassie about a very trying time, and offers information for others, generally, who may be struggling in their first year away at school.
