FAIRVIEW MUSEUM
John McClellan to be honored On Friday, June 10, the Fairview Museum will honor John McClellan with a reception from 6:30pm to 8:00 pm in the Horizon Building at the Fairview Museum located at 55 North 100 East in Fairview. The exhibit will be part of the Rotating Artists Gallery now through June 29 John McClellan is a Utah native. He grew up in Orem, spent eight years in Logan, five years in American Fork, 27 years in Mount Pleasant and is currently relocating to Kanab. John has always had an artistic side to him and he loves to create things. He started out drawing, tried painting, and then discovered ceramics and hand sculpting. He created the world of Lizgrins that took him on a fantasy ride for 12 years. He then moved into wood working and now he is creating with found items and metal sculpting Junk Bots. He has enjoyed remodeling homes, creating interesting environments and making furniture items. John likes motorcycles, old cars and trucks, playing harmonica and singing in a classic rock and roll band. He loves to travel and to see new places, eat strange food and try new things. He loves a good joke, a good song and a good friend to share them with. His best friend and companion, Sherene, has helped him all along the way and puts up with John’s perpetual weirdness. They have 4 children, all of them girls, except for 3. John has never taken his art too seriously. It was just fun to create something that has a lot to look at and has a certain amount of whimsy, just to make you smile. For John, art needs to be fun. If it isn’t fun then it’s just work. Sometimes work can be fun and when that happens, it’s art.

Red foxes, although not native to Utah, are becoming more common in cities and suburban settings. In an effort to impress social media followers, some wildlife enthusiasts are attempting human/fox selfies and are getting too close, even offering them food. This is not without risk to both humans and foxes. When spotted in a neighborhood, residents may wonder if foxes pose
a danger to people or pets, or if they could have rabies since they are out in the daytime. Red foxes may be active day or night, though most are active at dawn and dusk, so a fox being out and about during the day doesn’t indicate rabies. A fox’s breeding season is from mid-January to early February. Red foxes usually have a single annual litter of four to five kits. Fox kits, or pups, are born from March to May in dens dug in the ground Please see EXPERT, Page A3
