I selected this topic because me and all of my friends have gone up to the nunnery several times before. And it is a pretty popular place for lots of teenagers to go, and takes their girls. Or dates up there with them to get a good scare and to get their dates to cling tightly to them. That is probably the main reason a lot of the high school students go up their. To scare the girls so bad that they need to hold on to them super tight and the guys really like that so they keep on doing it over and over, and therefore it will always remain a popular attraction for all of the kids to go up there. • The method that I used to collected all of my materials for this report is that I had a bunch of my friends come over and then I selected one of them to tell me a few different stories that they had heard about the Nunnery. After getting interviews from one of them I would move down the list and interview the other ones about different stories, and myths or legends that they had heard or read about on the internet or they were told by their friends. And then they retold those stories to me while I recorded them on my phone in the Voice Memos, t…

I remember back to when I was a young kid and I heard stories about alligators in the sewers pipes in pop culture, and my older sister tried to explain to me the story of the nunnery, and other stuff that was similar to that. I did not know it at the time, but they were all examples of urban legends and legends and I found most of them to be hilarious and thought provoking stories. I don't know what it is about urban legends and just legends in general, but they just draw my attention and make me wonder as I am sure they do with most people, because some of them really make you wonder if they are actually true. I remember back to the first couple days of my Folklore class and an assignment that we did. On the assignment was a section for urban legends, and I remember it made me become even more interested in them and ultimately made me choose to research and do a project that focused on urban legends and legends. According to Google an urban legend is a humorous or horrific story or a piece of information circulated as though tru…

It seems like no matter who it is you talk to either they know a guy, or they say that they themselves have witnessed or heard something that would have to do with the paranormal. If you believe the stories you hear or if you think that the story you are being told is just a story that's been blown way out of proportion just to try and get a cheap scare out of somebody it is still fun to see the kind of reactions that you do out of people when the story is over, so its always nice to have some good stories tucked away just in case. I love to hear ghost stories and I always have. I do what I can to think that what they are telling me is 100% true because I think it would be way cool if I knew for a fact that ghosts do exist, however I cant do that so I just try to believe that they do. It is interesting to hear other peoples views on what they think is causing weird things in their house to happen because they are certain that there is no such things as ghosts and that there is a logical reason for everything, when really they are probably freaking out in their house every time the wind blows, an…

There is no scarier feeling in the world than when you experience something of the paranormal. I remember when I was younger my older brother would always tell me paranormal stuff that had happened to his friends. I was always so scared but yet I wanted to know more, without experiencing these things for myself. My first time ever experiencing something paranormal came a few years back when my friends and I heard a group of older kids talking about how scary Bloody Mary was.

Anne's Retreat xviii Now just a week ago, I knew not even the name St. Anne's retreat. But this past week, I have visited the place that so many spirits call home. I myself am not much of an adventurist paranormal wise. Just the mentioning of a spirit and I would nearly run for the hills. The story behind St. Anne's retreat however intrigued me. A friend of mine named Silver Pena told me that she had been researching about a place in Logan canyon called The Nunnery. She told me that there had been many stories but the only story she had told me that really had me hooked, was a particular story about how Christens used this camp for impregnated nuns. In this particular time children born by nuns were believed to have been the work of satin, they were to be disposed of at birth so that they had no chance to do damage to this world. One particular nun however felt the need to keep her child, so she decided before the birth of this child, she was going to run away. From the start, the head nun had suspected that this nun would have second thoughts so she had decided to keep a close eye on her. When she had finally put her plan into motion, the head nun was not too far behind. Realizing this once she had given birth to her child, she thought to hide the child in some bushes and lead the head nun away and pick up her child at a later time. Soon the head nun gave up, or so she thought, going back to pick up her child she was astonished to find that her child was missing. She, went back to the camp and as she approached the c…

We may never know, but after my brief research maybe we'll have a better idea of what the answer is. I interviewed 2 people who had been to the Nunnery, and two people who just had strange paranormal stories to tell. The two people who had gone to the Nunnery, both said they didn't see anything to make the place seem haunted besides their own fear that came only because they were expecting something scary . The Nunnery's real name is St. Ann's Retreat; it was first used as a summer retreat for two wealthy New Yorkers and their families. They had many guests who came to stay, including the Czar of Russia. It was later used as a summer retreat for the Nuns in the 1950's and later as a Children's Catholic Camp. The property has 21 total buildings on it, which include two larger lodges, six smaller cabins, a pool house, a playhouse, and the swimming pool. The classic myths of the Nunnery are usually quite similar and go something like this: One of the N…

I thought of things that were common to most Logan High School graduates and St. Anne's retreat immediately came to mind. It has always intrigued me because I had never heard a story before that explained in detail why it was such a scary place. I had heard rumors that nuns had been killed at the retreat, but I had always wondered about the details. I thought it was amazing that such a thing could happen in Logan Canyon because it was so out of the ordinary for a place like Cache Valley to have a murder take place. I have ~een up to St. Anne's a couple of times when I was in high school, and I knew that other people had often gone up there too. I had been scared each time I had gon~ and I was also very curious about where and why the stories had originated. I thought that there must have been some incident that had started…

Saint Anne trio trial date set for June 8

description: Saint Anne trio trial date set for June 8 Early date to insure [ensure] teens will be in valley By Jacob Santini Senior News Writer The three men accused of assaulting 30 high school students in Cache Valley were back in court Monday. John Jeppson, Christopher Doerr and Arthur Peasnall were in Logan’s First District Court to be arraigned for six counts of aggravated assault. Jeppson has also been charged with one count of forcible sexual assault. The alleged crime occurred on the night of Oct. 10, when the three men restrained 30 teenagers at a one time Catholic retreat in Logan Canyon. According to testimony heard in a preliminary hearing, the teenagers were trespassing on the property because they had heard St. Anne’s retreat was haunted and wanted to check it out. When the three men heard the teenagers on the property they surrounded them with shotguns and handcuffed them together. Once they were restrained the men made the teens sit in an empty swimming pool with a rope wrapped around their necks, according to information obtained from the case file. Deputy Cache County Attorney Bruce Ward said the trial needs to be held as soon as possible. “Some of the victims are leaving Utah this summer because they have been accepted to universities in Texas and Virginia,” Ward said. “There are also a number that are leaving on missions for the Church of Jesus Christ (of Latter-day Saints).” Judge Clint Judkins set the trial to begin June 8, to insure [ensure] that all the alleged victims will be in Cache Valley at the time of the trial. During Monday’s arraignment, Barbra Lochmar, defense attorney for Doerr told Judkins that change in venue will be expected because of the publicity the case has seen. In response Ward said, “I think we need to at least try to select a jury before we make a decision for a change of venue.”

description: Judge sets trial date for trio All three arraigned on aggravated assault charges; lawyers may seek change of venue. By The Associated Press A June 8 trial date has been scheduled for three men charged with aggravated assault for allegedly using too much force to detain trespassing youngsters at a Logan Canyon retreat. John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, Chris Doerr and Arthur Peasnall, both of Tooele County, were arraigned on Monday on six counts each of the third-degree felony. Jeppson also is charged with forcible sexual abuse for allegedly touching the breast and buttocks of a female trespasser while searching her. The men are accused of using violence to detain 38 young people who entered the former St. Anne’s Retreat in Logan Canyon on Oct. 10 for a Halloween season thrill. The young people, ranging in age from 16-21, initially were charged with trespassing. But the owners of the private retreat asked that charges be dismissed after hearing allegations that three men staying there terrorized the youths. The three were bound over for trial earlier this month after a preliminary hearing. Jeppson had been represented by public defender David Perry, but during Monday’s arraignment, Perry told 1st District Judge Clint Judkins that Jeppson has retained his own attorney, Greg Skordas of Salt Lake City. Skordas will now have to approve the trial date. If the tentative date works out, the trial is expected to last four and a half days. Logan attorney Arden Lauritzen, who represents Peasnall, and Doerr’s attorney, Barbara Lachmar, said they will confer with Skordas about the possibility of asking to move the trial to another county. Judkins said all motions must be filed with the court by April 20.

description: Judge orders St. Anne’s trio to trial - Trespassing teens testify of horrifying canyon experience By Jacob Santini Senior News Writer Three men accused of assaulting 30 high school students from Cache Valley, at what was once a Catholic retreat, are going to trial later this month. Judge Clint Judkins ruled Thursday afternoon that the state had enough evidence to hold trial for Christopher Doerr, Arthur Peasnall and John Jeppson. Doerr and Peasnall are both charged with six counts of aggravated assault. Jeppson is charged with one count of forcable [forcible] sexual assault and six counts of aggravated assault. According to one of the victims, the first alleged crime occurred at around 2 a.m. on Oct. 10. The three accused men caught a group of men and women trespassing on the property of Saint Anne’s Retreat. Once the tree guards found them, Jeppson fired a shot into the air and told the eight to get down. Once on the ground, the individuals were retained with plastic cuffs and then taken to the main lodge room. Jeppson then wrapped a rope around the necks of the group and told them if they moved their heads would be burnt off, he said. The second incident occurred Oct. 10 about 9:30 p.m. Three groups of local high school students say they were ambushed on the bridge and then cuffed together. In testimony on Wednesday in Logan’s First District Courthouse, a 17-year-old girls who is accusing Jeppson of sexually assaulting her, said the group of 11 friends were walking across the bridge when a man came running at them and fired a shot into the air. “He yelled get down on the f’ing ground; you are all under arrest,” the woman said. “Then he fired his gun in the air.”. . .

We're guilty: St. Anne's defendants accept plea bargains

description: We’re guilty: St. Anne’s defendants accept plea bargains Surprise pleas bring end to trial By Miriam Rand, Mike Weibel and Jake Santini Staff writers The three men accused of terrorizing 38 teen-agers and young adults at a former retreat in Logan Canyon pleaded guilty to lesser charges today, putting a surprise stop to the 3-day-old trial. “Guilty,” John Jeppson said in 1st District Court. “I plead guilty, your honor,” Christopher Doerr said to Judge Clint Judkins. “Guilty,” Arthur Peasnall said. The men had each been charged with six felony counts of aggravated assault for tying up the youngsters and threatening them with shotguns. Jeppson had also been charged with aggravated sexual assault. In a plea agreement with prosecutors this morning, Jeppson pleaded guilty to two felony counts of aggravated assault, which carry a maximum prison sentence of five years and a $5,000 fine on each. The charge of forcible sexual abuse-for allegedly fondling a girl’s breasts while searching her-was dropped. Doerr, Jeppson’s son-in-law, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted aggravated assault, a misdemeanor. Each count carries a sentence of up to a year in prison and a $2, 500 fine. Peasnall also pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges of attempted aggravated assault. As part of the plea agreement, the charges against Doerr and Peasnall were reduced from aggravated assault. Doerr and Peasnall looked relieved and smiled and laughed together as Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt amended the charges against them. Jeppson expressed little emotion. After the hearing, Wyatt said the plea agreement should help resolve some of the controversy over whether the youngers themselves were to blame. “I think this goes a long way to healing some of the divisiveness in the community,” Wyatt said. “Jeppson said he was wrong, and the kids and their families encouraged us to lessen the charges.” Cindy Dahl, one of the 30 youngsters handcuffed by the three men in the bottom of an empty outdoor s…

St. Anne's trio bound over for trial

subject: legend-tripping;
description: Watchmen cahrged with tying up and terrorizing 38 trespassing teenagers at St. Anne's retreat will go to trial for their charges.
description: St. Anne’s trio bound over for trial By Ryan Robb Oliver Staff writer A 1st District Court judge determined Thursday there was enough evidence to order the trial of three men charged with tying up and terrorizing 38 trespassers at the St. Anne’s Retreat. John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, and Arthur Peasnall and Chris Doerr, both of Tooele County, face six counts of aggravated assault. Jeppson will face an additional charge of forcible sexual abuse. “This was expected,” said Doerr’s public defender Barbara Lachmar after the hearing. Lachmar said the defense does not present most of its evidence until trial. Sexual abuse charges had originally been filed against all three men by the Cache County Attorney’s Office. But after listening to two days of preliminary hearing testimony from alleged victims and police officers who arrived at the retreat in Logan Canyon, Judge Clint Judkins dropped the sex charges against Doerr and Peasnall, saying prosecutors failed to bring forward enough evidence. A 17-year old Smithfield girl had testified Wednesday that only Jeppson touched her buttocks and breasts before he tied her up, supposedly checking her for weapons. Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt said he sought sex abuse charges against all three men because they were acting in concert with one another. The three men are accused of violently detaining several groups of teen-age and young adult trespassers at the retreat Oct. 10. The three allegedly wielded shotguns with flashlights strapped to the barrels, which they allegedly fired into the air and threatened to kill the trespassers with if they didn’t follow orders to get on the ground. The 38 people would later be handcuffed and bound around their necks with a cord until police arrived. Defense attorneys for the three men mounted no significant attacks on the testimony of the six alleged victims in the two-day preliminary hearing. Jeppson’s attorney, David Perry, appeared he was laying the groundwork for a defense based on hi…

Trespassing teens learned lesson
subject: Legends;
subject: legend-tripping;
description: Trespassing legend-trippers may still have learned their lesson. In spite of getting off easy, the impact of the experience may have had a greater impact than having the trespassing charges stick. Bruce Smith, former Herald Journal publisher, relates an experience from his youth as one of the most traumatic experiences of his life and one that he will always remember.
description: Trespassing teens learned lesson By Bruce Smith Herald Journal publisher “I have never forgotten my experience with the sheriff almost 40 years ago. It was one of the most traumatic days of my life.” My initial reaction a few weeks ago after a bunch of trespassing teen-agers were terrorized at the former St. Anne’s retreat was that although the kids certainly didn’t deserve the outrageous treatment they received at the hands of the watchmen, they probably learned a great lesson from it all. The whole situation has brought back some very unhappy memories of when I was a teen-ager and, like most young people, did some very stupid things-and, of course, got an education in the process. On one occasion I found myself with the wrong friends and in deep trouble with the law. I remember it as if it happened yesterday. I had a .22 caliber rifle and enjoyed rabbit hunting. My friends and I had a favorite spot a few miles from home where there were thousands of rabbits. One Saturday afternoon on the way home from a day of hunting, we noticed some big new lights along a bridge crossing the Snake River. As we drove across the bridge, one of my friends stuck his .22 pistol out the window and began using the lights for target practice. He must have fired eight or 10 times at the lights as we crossed the bridge. Not one of us in the car did anything to stop him. We crossed the bridge and went right through the middle of town and headed for home. We didn’t give a second thought to what our friend had just done. No one stopped us and we were sure no one heard the shots. After we traveled a few miles down the highway we noticed a red light flashing behind us. It looked a lot like the flashing lights on a police car. We just kept on going. We were not smart enough to figure out that it was the county sheriff and he was after us. The sheriff’s patrol car got closer and closer and was soon right behind us with the siren blaring. Only then did we realize it was us he was after. We pulled…

St. Anne's letters rabidly judgmental

description: Comments circling around holding parents responsible for the actions of trespassers
description: St. Anne’s letters rabidly judgmental To the editor: I applaud April Anderson for her intelligent and merciful letter on the subject of the St. Anne’s retreat trespassing incident (Tuesday, Nov. 4). If any readers missed her latter, it would be worth their while to look back through their newspapers and find it. I, too, have been astonished at how many of the people who have written letters on this subject have been so rabidly judgmental of the teen-agers and their parents. I hope they are just misinformed individuals, rather than the malevolent ones they appear to be in print. I have the feeling that if they had been standing around the adulteress when Jesus said, “He who is without sin among you, let him vast the first stone,” (St. John, Chapter 8) she would have been dead.

Five testify against St. Anne's retreat trio

description: Preliminary hearing for watchment involved in St. Anne's trespassing ordeal.
description: Five testify against St. Anne’s retreat trio - Packed courtroom hears charges of assault, sexual abuse By Ryan Robb Oliver Staff writer A packed courtroom of witnesses, family members, deputy sheriffs and reporters listened Wednesday afternoon to the testimony of five people who said they were victims of three men who went too far while protecting a Logan Canyon retreat. The preliminary hearing in Logan’s 1st District Court had to be delayed into the afternoon because one of the defendants, Arthur Peasnall of Tooele County, failed to show. He was contacted and arrived later, saying he was confused about the hearing date. Testimony in the hearing was expected to continue through most of today. The three men, Peasnall, John Jeppson of Pocatell9o, Idaho and Christ Doerr of Tooele County, are each charged with six counts of aggravated assault and one count of forcible sexual abuse for violently detaining 38 teen-age and young adult trespassers Oct. 10 at the St. Anne’s Retreat property they were tending. The 17-year-old Smithfield girl who was allegedly sexually abused said in court that Jeppson felt her buttocks and under her shirt as part of a search for weapons. “He never checked my jacket.” She said in tears. “He just went up my jacket and shirt.” Jeppson felt her stomach and her breasts on top of her bra, she said. The girl said she had come up to the property, a former Catholic retreat rumored to be haunted, with several friends for a Halloween scare, but when she squeezed through the gates she got more than she bargained for. “We got to the end of the bridge, and this guy came around with a gun and said get down on the f’ing ground,” she said. She said all three of the men were armed with shotguns with flashlights taped to them, and she said Jeppson fired his gun into a tree to show he was serious. Like the other victims who came down on the evening of Oct. 10, the girl said her hands were bound by plastic flex cuffs and she was placed into an empty swimming pool…

Judge issues warrant for St. Anne's defendant

description: Bench warrant was issued by court for Arthur Peasnall, one of the security guards in the St. Anne's trespassing drama.
description: Judge issues warrant for St. Anne’s defendant - One of retreat trio fails to show up for hearing By Ryan Robb Oliver Staff writer A bench warrant was issued this morning after a man accused of terrorizing 38 teenagers and young adults at the St. Anne’s Retreat in Logan Canyon failed to appear for his preliminary hearing. Arthur Peasnall of Tooele County was scheduled to appear at 1st District Court in Logan at 9 this morning. The two other men charged in the case, John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, and Chris Doerr of Tooele County, were present for the hearing, but Judge Clint Judkins continued it until 1:30 this afternoon and ordered a bench warrant issued for Peasnall. Judkins made his decision at 10:20 a.m. when Peasnall had still not arrived. No one in the court, including his attorney, Arden Lauritzen, could account for his whereabouts. “Use your contacts in Tooele County and do what you have to do to find him,” Judkins said to Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt. Many of the witnesses set to testify at the hearing and their family members expressed displeasure at the delay. The preliminary hearing is being held for the state to prove it has enough evidence to bring its case against the three men to trial. The men were arrested in October after they tied up and allegedly threatened to kill 38 trespassers on the retreat they were caretaking for. They are also accused of touching the breasts of one juvenile, claiming they were searching her for weapons. The men are each charged with six counts of aggravated assault and one count of forcible sexual abuse. All three were released from the Cache County Jail shortly after their arrest on $5,000 bail each. The Herald Journal will have a report on this afternoon’s development in its Thursday edition.

St. Anne's opinions formed without facts

subject: legend-tripping;
description: Locals responding to the St. Anne's retreat trespassing incident giving their version of the facts.
description: St. Anne’s opinions formed without facts To the editor: Much has been said about the incident at St. Anne’s retreat concerning the kids and their parents. I am amazed at the number of parents who have commented about this issue, especially those who have done so without all the facts. The fact is these kids are very good kids and have very good parents and for you to judge them as you have done is unfair. Fact-These kids know they have done wrong and so do the parents. No one “whined” to the authorities to try to get anyone off. The landowners dropped the charges completely on their own for whatever reason they had. In fact, they felt bad for what had happened to them and the landowners have actually met with these kids and their parents and he has commented on what great kids they are. Fact-The parents only went to the authorities to try and stop these men from continuing this kind of action again, and maybe against your kids. And you can’t convince me that just because you taught them it will prevent your youth from making any mistakes or to grow through their teen-age years being perfect. If so, I want a leaf from your book. If you think we condoned their action you’re completely mistaken. Fact-The kids showed up around 9, not in the middle of the night as so many of you think. Fact-they showed up in small groups of 2, 4, and 6 not a large group of 30 with intent to do vandalism and attack poor Mr. Jeppson. In their pockets they had gum and chapstick, hardly any attack tools. Fact-The kids were attacked, some not even on the property yet, and were taken by gunpoint to the pool, tied up etc. You know the rest of the story. This wasn’t a necessary protection tactic, it was a very cruel one that they laughed and joked about. He told them “it was a great adrenaline rush and to run because they would love to shoot their legs off.” If this is proper treatment for citizens to inflect on trespassers, what should we (as citizens) do to other Cache Valley people who speed,…

St. Anne's trio hit with more charges

description: Prosecutors add sexual assault charges to list of charges against security guards who terrorized 38 trespassing teenagers at St. Anne's retreat.
description: St. Anne’s trio hit with more charges - Prosecutors add sexual assault to list By Ryan Robb Oliver Staff writer Additional criminal charges were filed Monday in 1st District Court against three men accused of terrorizing 38 teen-agers and young adults at the St. Anne’s Retreat in Logan Canyon on Oct. 10. John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, Christopher Doer [Doerr] and Arthur Peasnall, both of Tooele County, were charged with forcible sexual abuse in addition to the six charges of aggravated assault that had been filed against each of them in October. A preliminary hearing on all seven charges against the three men has been set for Wednesday in 1st District Court. Cache County Deputy Attorney Don Linton said the latest sex abuse charges stem from an investigation into a statement by one of the teen-agers who said Jeppson had felt her breasts with his hands under her shirt and on top of her bra. Jeppson told police he was checking her for weapons, according to a Cache County sheriff’s report. The three men were arrested after a sheriff’s investigation determined they had gone too far when they detained eight trespassers at the St. Anne’s property on the morning of Oct. 10 and 30 more trespassers later in the evening. Then teen-agers and young adults said they went onto the property in search of a Halloween thrill. After entering the gates they said, they were detained by the three men, who were yelling threats and wielding shotguns with flashlights taped to the barrels. In both instances, the trespassers were bound with cords around their necks and handcuffed. The latter group would be placed in an empty swimming pool until deputy sheriffs arrived. The St. Anne’s Retreat property is owned by four people from outside Cache County. Jeppson was allowed to use it in exchange for helping maintain the grounds. Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt has said he doesn’t intend to call all 38 alleged victims to testify in court. Instead, Wyatt said he’ll call a few people to testify …

Point the finger of blame at parents

description: Cache Valley resident points the finger of blame at parents who seemingly condone behavior of trespassing teenagers and do not acknowledge any rights of the property owner.
description: Point the finger of blame at parents To the editor: I was appalled when I read that several carloads of teenagers broke into private property bent on doing mischief. I was appalled when I read that the three guards had to use force to get them removed. I was appalled when I read how the parents were crying foul and that their sweet children had a few bruises and abrasions due to the rough handling by the guards. And then I was really appalled when I read where the police had caved into the parents and the charges against the teens had been dropped while the guards had to face charges. Well, that’s America, the land of the guilty and the home of the vandals. I don’t really blame the teenagers. They obviously haven’t been taught that other people’s property is off-limits. No, it’s not the children I feel angry about, it’s you parents. What kind of parents are you? Probably you think that because they are your kids whatever they do is all right. Well, it’s not all right. The teenagers broke the law. They invaded someone’s private property bent on mischief. Today, we worry about gangs, drugs, rape and murder all committed by someone’s kids. Kids who have no respect for the law, just like your kids. Don’t you realize that there is a lesson to be learned from this? Respect the law. Respect the property of others. And respect yourself. If they aren’t taught these lessons at home, where do you think they’ll be taught them [then]? If they were my kids, I would have been grateful to the guards for this experience. I would hope it scared the kids so they would never consider doing such a thing again. And I would insist that the least the kids do was some community service repairing the vandalism on private property so they could see the work and money that vandalism costs. And when I got them home, I’d make up for their lack by reinforcing the lesson learned, so they’d never break the law again. But then, I love my kids and I wouldn’t want them to go on to big-time lawbreaking…

Reactions to trespassing at St. Anne's retreat
subject: Legends;
subject: legend-tripping;
description: Reactions to the trespassing incident at St. Anne's brings out various points of view.
description: St. Anne’s reaction a lesson in itself To the editor: The era in which the constitution of our nation was formed was preceded by many abuses against individuals and their property. Because of this, the founding fathers created the Bill of Rights to help define what “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” entailed. Article 10 deals with the rights of criminals and those accused of crimes. It states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Several forms of punishments a God-fearing people will always cry out against are: verbal assault (death threats), physical assault and sexual assault. They should not be tolerated even in a parent and child relationship. I am saddened by the many letters that contend that tie youths who trespassed at St. Anne’s were not entitled to the respect that is due all men, regardless of their crime, because of the sanctity of life which is given at God’s hand. Many have justified their feelings by expressing loyalty to the rights of property owners.” Let’s remember that the property owners exercised their rights. They pardoned the youths on the grounds of the treatment they had received. I applaud this compassionate attitude. We, as a people, claim that an individual does not have to be tried twice for the same crime. These youths were tried, convicted and punished by individuals, not by a judge and jury; another crime against the form of government we uphold. Judgements against the parents have been unfair and untrue. I personally know five sets of these parents. If any who have accused them of being unloving and irresponsible lived by them for several months, they would know that nothing is further from the truth. Unfortunately, many judge the character of God by the actions of his children, too. The greatest tragedy of this incident is not the trespassing or the vandalism (which the youths spotlighted did not commit), but the feelings of self-righeousness [rig…

Arthur Peasnall, 22, of Tooele was taken into custody by Cache County deputy sheriffs. Peasnall is charged with six counts of aggravated assault. He posted $5,000 bail and was released from jail shortly after the arrest. Two other suspects in the incident, John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, and his son-in-law Chriss Doerr of Tooele County, were arrested last month, and both posted bail. Jeppson, considered the lead property watchman in the assault, is scheduled to be arraigned in 1st District Court on Nov. 10. Dates have not been set yet for the two other men. The three men are accused of tying up, threatening and assaulting young people who were caught trespassing at the cabin site in Logan Canyon.

Debate over justice served and youth not being held accountable

description: Rite of passage does not justify a local tradition where the actions of trespassing and breaking the law are justified by adults who they themselves may have participated in this activity when they were younger.
description: Fortunately, we have a justice system To the editor: Picture if you will, yourself driving down the highway. You are in a hurry. You’re late! You glance in the rearview mirror and see a flashing red light right behind you, and an officer motioning for you to pull over. You glance at your speedometer and realize you are going 65 mph in an area clearly posted at be 55 mph. You think to yourself … oh my, I am going to get a ticket. You pull over and wait for the officer to come to your car, making sure during that time you have your license, registration and insurance ID. Much to your astonishment, the officer opens your door with anger and forcefully yanks you out of your seat. He quickly turns you around and pushes you, face first, up against the car. Then he proceeds to angrily handcuff you making sure that the cuffs are good and tight (for they are flex cuffs). He wants to make sure you are truly subdued, so he puts a rope around your neck and attaches it to his steering wheel. He tells you that if you put any pressure on the rope that it will explode and blow your head off. Fortunately this is a hypothetical situation. This poor officer has really had a bad day, and his anger has reached the boiling point. He has already had to give 15 citations for speeding in areas that have been clearly marked. Tired of all he has had to put up with, he kicks you in the ribs, and slaps your face. He then proceeds to utter a stream of obscenities. And you say to yourself, is this what happens when you are only speeding. What does this have to do with the incident at St. Anne’s retreat? Quite a bit. Trespassing and speeding are offenses that are both considered Class C misdemeanors. Neither should be punished by use of deadly force, abuse, or torture. Nor should the offenses be tried and convicted at the scene of the crime. Fortunately we have a justice system to handle that. We also have a justice system in Cache County that is perpetuated by people with a great deal of integrit…

Local youths properly taught right and wrong?

description: Local resident suggests youth playing pranks on local home owners may be related to the problem of St. Anne's trespassers who were not held accountable for their actions.
description: Local youths properly taught right and wrong? To the editor: After living here peacefully for over 30 years, for some unknown reason I suddenly find myself the victim of several consecutive nights of harassment and vandalism, including screaming and pounding on the house, outdoor planters upset and damaged, large boulders landing in the driveway, etc. While I have appreciated the quick and professional response of the authorities, I am somewhat baffled by being told by two different government and law enforcement officials that “Tuesday nights are the worst because that’s the night for scouting and other youth activities at the church.” Perhaps because I’m not of the local culture, the connection there escapes me, but what does seem clear is that there must be some parents out there unaware of what their kids are doing, and I appeal to them for help. Another factor may be the unfortunate message, misinterpreted or not, that seems to have been sent by the recent events at St. Ann’s, that teen-agers can do anything they want without fear of any consequences or accountability. This is not fairly preparing teens for their future in the real world and is definitely a problem for the rest of us in the meantime. Jerry Benbow River Heights

Trespass critics too quick to judge

description: Herald Journal Opinion piece defends parenting of trespassing teenagers.
description: Trespass critics too quick to judge To the editor: I have followed the articles on the incident at St. Anne’s with some interest. I have been disappointed with people who publicly voice their opinion on a situation of which they cannot know all the details It is amazing to me that in a community as largely Christian as this one, so many seem anxious to pass judgement on these teen-agers’ families and methods of parenting. As an “average citizen,” I do not know all that went on that night up Logan canyon. Although we hear and read much, it all must be taken as hearsay, and only those personally involved can possibly know everything. At first, I was a little disgusted that the young adults involved were not being punished for their crimes. But then I read Scott Wyatt’s report stating that he did not press charges because the property owners did not wish to. Well, he certainly should be in a position to know. And if the owners did not want to pursue it, that is certainly their choice. As a parent, I understand that our society seems to be falling apart at times and young people often abuse privileges and assume they are their rights. What I don’t understand is why so many who have written letters to the editor assume that these teens were not taught better by their parents. Haven’t any of them ever had a child go against their teachings and better judgment? Or have they perhaps been so quick to place blame that they forgot about their own children’s mistakes? I have also read letters from adults who have admitted that over the years they, too, went up the nunnery, drawn by its lore. And they have turned out to be respectable citizens in their communities now that they are adults. My point is, as kids are growing up they make stupid decisions and mistakes. That is how we learn and grow. It doesn’t mean that these children were not taught better or that their parents condone their actions and behavior. It’s just possible that they may still grow to be decent people and, …

Two separate issues in St. Anne's incident

description: Trespassers need to be accountable for their actions and breaking the law should not be justified for any reason, regardless of local tradition. The caretakers response to frequent trespassing and vandalism shouldn't have been a surprise. "They got what they went after,"[the thrill] the author states.
description: Two separate issues in St. Anne’s incident To the editor: 1. Trespassing, looting and vandalism have a long-term problem at St. Anne’s and other canyon properties. 2. Two groups of teen-agers admittedly trespassed within 24 hours, seeking a thrill as their excuse. They got what they went after. 3. The trespassers initiated the whole affair by their admitted trespassing, the caretaker “reaction” with the background of vandalism in the past was to be expected, but was taken seriously enough for charges to be filed by the county attorney against the caretakers. Their actions will be heard in a court of law. 4. The actions of the caretaker, “if proven to be criminal” do not excuse the trespassers of their illegal behavior. “One can not justify his bad conduct by the bad conduct of another.” The trespassing teen-agers should answer to the laws for their behavior regardless of the caretaker’s actions. They are two separate issues. 5. Our local attorney’s statement, “every teen in Cache Valley” went up to St. Anne’s for the thrill of it, is not true and doesn’t justify the illegal behavior but speaks volumes on her guardianship of law and order. 6. Teen-age drinking, a keg of beer in the canyon and fast driving are all done for the “thrill” but are illegal and not accepted by society. F. Robert Bryner Logan
