Rams' valiant run
ends at State Finals
The Parowan Rams charged their way
into Utah’s 2A baseball championships by
elevating above the Eagles from Duchesne,
corralling the Cowboys from Kanab and
beating the Bulldogs from Gunnison Valley,
but the Rams’ run ended when they hit an
unbreakable dam built by the Beaver Beavers,
who beat them twice in the final two games.

by Victor Hugo (Les Misérables)
and featuring songs from the
classic Disney film, Hunchback

Encouraged by his gargoyle

the fiery gypsy, Esmeralda,
the nefarious Clopin, and the

them from the top of the bell

Sunshine Health
Foods celebrates
50th anniversary
Sunshine
in Cedar City
celebration going
on through May
by Edy Meredith
For Iron Count y Today
Early in 2020 at the beginning
of the epidemic, the Department of
Homeland Security declared health
food stores and supplement manu-
facturers to be essential services so
that they could stay open during any
mandated government shutdowns.
How wonderful that our government
was looking out for us.
Sunshine Nutrition Health
Foods, located at 111 West 535 South
in Cedar City, found itself in that
favored position of an essential
service following guidelines for
mask wearing and customer spacing.
Thankfully, they have just celebrated
their 50th Business Anniversary
of providing high quality vitamins
and supplements, herbs and spices,
organic produce, bulk foods, cosmet-
ics, and their famous yogurt. They
did have to suspend their community
education classes, but the owners,
Sam and Jill Johnson, are planning to
resume the community information
classes again as soon as possible.
Jill’s family, the Bill & Dana and
Leo & Helen Gillespie families, estab-
lished nutrition health stores starting
in 1968 until 2003 throughout Utah
and California. When Jill and Sam
married after meeting at SUU, it was
natural that they would purchase
the family business. It is still a family
business and has been for many years
with their four daughters working
with them. As you might expect,
all family members are examples
of good health, good nutrition,
and exercise. They are known by
customers to be excellent sources
of nutritional information and for
competitive prices. Jennifer Bach, the
floor manager, also has a wealth of
information as do many of the free
brochures they provide.
Their 50th anniversary cele-
bration concludes at the end of
May with giveaways, contests, and
raffles through social media and at
the store. You can participate at the
store and through the following:
www.facebook.com/sunshinehealth-
foods1 and Instagram: @sunshine-
healthfoodsutah. They also provide
edy meredith a 10% discount on Thursday for age
Owners Jill and Sam Johnson proudly keep the family traditions of nutrition and exercise alive in their health-benefiting business. 55 and older.12 Wednesday, May 26, 2021 life Iron County Today
