The entire town – men, women, and children – crowded around the foundry to witness the occasion. Would it succeed, they wondered? They held a program while they watched the torch applied and the blast turned on. Then they waited throughout the night to see the results, the children sleeping on quilts spread on the ground. The adults wandered about, chatting nervously among themselves, and looking forward to the arrival of daybreak when the process was scheduled to end. As the sun came up over the mountain ridges on Sept. 30, 1852, the superintendent of the Iron Works, Richard Harrison, proclaimed that the time had arrived and ordered ironworker Robert Adams to take a pole and tap the furnace. As he did, a small stream of molten iron came belching out. The crowd began to dance and cheer, shouting with joy, “Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb,” as the first iron manufactured west of the Mississippi poured from the furnace. Before nightfall, Harrison and three others were on their way to Salt Lake City to carry the good news to Brigham Young and the people of the Territory of Deseret. HAVE YOU NOTICED? That two handsome new walking bridges have been installed at 300 West and Coal Creek and 300 East and Coal Creek that allow people to walk from one side of Coal Creek to the other to access the walking trails… The new design on Cedar City’s web site (cedarcity.org)… That new winter hours are being posted for a number of Cedar City restaurants…All the cars out in front of the new Maggie Moo’s ice cream parlor… That the City is installing large pipes purchased by UDOT so the open ditch along north Main Street at the Sunbow subdivision can be filled in and the appearance of the area improved. When the project is finished, the City will apply for state pedestrian safety money to install a Main Street sidewalk in the area... The two businesses that were displaced by the recent fire on Center Street have relocated. The new location for the Bike Route is 491 S. Main. The new location for 5Buck Pizza is next to Applebee’s Restaurant near Wal-Mart. COAL CREEK BALL COMPLEX: The ball complex on Coal Creek is receiving a needed facelift at a cost of $400,000. Included in the improvements will be new lights for two fields (bringing to four the number of lighted fields), protective fencing and new backstops, replacing and upgrading of the irrigation system, 30 new shade trees, miscellaneous dugout repairs and painting, an electronic scoreboard for field 11, shade for the bleacher areas, new entry signage, sod replacement, and a new playground area, among others. The improvements are planned for completion by mid-summer. BAGPIPE BAND: In the early years of Cedar City, the community had a band that played for important occasions. Today we have the Scarlet and Black Pipe Band composed of eight pipers, three snare drummers, a tenor drummer and a base drummer. The band is looking to increase its members and anyone interested in participating in the band are encouraged to contact the pipe major, Bruce Barclay, at 586-2624. The Scarlet and Black is considering reviving the popular Scottish Festival that was held here for a number of years. The Pipe Band or its members are available for parades, weddings, funerals, parties, civic events, and individual lessons. Considering that Cedar City was founded by settlers primarily from England and Scotland, having a pipe band fits in perfectly with the City’s history. You can check out the band at its web site scarletandblackbagpipeband.com REMEMBERING: The recently passed federal stimulus package recalls the contributions of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) of the 1930s. The CCC put thousands of unemployed people to work on projects for forest and rangeland improvement. In Iron County, CCC workers constructed new roads up Parowan Canyon to Brian Head and between Cedar Breaks and Panguitch Lake; new campgrounds on Cedar Mountain with toilets and shelters; the rock pavilion on Brian Head Peak, the outdoor amphitheater at Duck Creek, and the Cedar Breaks Museum; constructed dams and livestock trails; and miles of roads and trails used for harvesting timber, fire fighting, and,ultimately, for hiking and hunting deer. The rustic rock look adopted for many of the buildings the CCC constructed still influences building architecture today. |
