Show Every1Counts More Law of Attraction By Cynthia Kimball Humphreys Okay, folks, for those of you who haven’t known, I’ve been submitting stories –what newspapers call articles anyway—to the Deseret News in Salt Lake City since January. And now I’m going to have my own column, just once a month to start, at the end of this month, in the Deseret News. But, I’ll need a new name for my column so if anyone has one, please call or email me. Anyway, this leads me back to The Law of Attraction. When I began writing for the Deseret News earlier this year one of my goals was to eventually have my own column there too. So here I am, not even a year later, and it’s happening. All this without a journalism degree! And who told me I couldn’t? But here’s how my recent journey in newspaper writing happened: I saw an ad for a southern Utah correspondent. I answered that ad. I was persistent even though the editor was concerned because I live in Hatch (where?) and not Cedar City or St. George. I asked to meet with the editor the next time I was in Salt Lake. I brought my portfolio. I prayed. I believed. I was confident. I was persistent. I smiled. I asked for the opportunity. I received the opportu- Page 3 The Garfield County Insider October 15, 2009 nity. The rest is history. When I met with that newspaper editor, I believe I was so confident that it beamed off of me. There can be no room for doubt whatsoever. Just like animals can sense when you’re afraid so can people. You’ve got to believe in yourself and envision what you want night and day. Then take whatever action you need to make happen. The coolest part? I’m now getting to do this for others (i.e. help others reach their dreams and goals). Even this morning from a woman in Colorado who sent me this email message, “Trying to find my purpose here on earth. I’m 51 years old and feel like I’m not going anywhere. I feel trapped and stuck. Trying to find out how I can find a job that is really going to make me happy.” I love these kinds of emails. Not because of someone not knowing their purpose and the unhappiness that comes with it (been there done that and it’s not fun), but because I have an opportunity to be an instrument in aiding another in reaching their dreams and goals. Educator and writer Frank Loyd Wright said, “The thing always happens that you really believe in, and the belief in it makes it happen.” The law of attraction works. And it keeps working. Ask for what you want. Have faith. And, if it is right it will happen. My next goal? To become a syndicated columnist. Hmmm, let’s see, Dear Abbey runs in 1,400 newspapers daily. Let’s say she receives $30 dollars a column. Do the math. Not bad for a day’s work, huh? Not to forget working from the comforts of one’s home. Ask. Believe. Take Action. Receive.

Do you really believe in astrology?” “Of course not. You know how skeptical we Capricorns are.” Old Veteran When I worked as a medical intern in a hospital, one of my patients was an elderly man with a thick accent. It took a while before I understood that he had no health insurance. Since he was a World War II veteran, I had him transported to a VA hospital, where he’d be eligible for benefits. The next day, my patient was back, along with this note from the VA admitting nurse: “Right war, wrong side.” Unusual Name Since I was a new patient, I had to fill out an information form for the doctor’s files. The nurse reading it over noticed my unusual name. “How do you pronounce it?” she asked. “Na-le-Y-ko,” I said, proud of my Ukrainian heritage. “That sounds real nice,” she said, smiling. “Yes, it is melodious,” I agreed. “So,” she asked sweetly, “what part of Melodia is your family from?” Satellite Dish When Dad’s satellite dish conked out, I found him on the phone with the help desk. The TV set was pulled away from the wall, and he was staring at the mass of tangled wires spilling out the back of it. He looked absolutely overwhelmed. “Tell you what I’m going to do,” Dad said to the technician. “I’m going to hang up now, go to college for a couple of years, and then call you back.” Lawyer’s Handshake After the two lawyers agreed on a matter and proceeded to shake hands, one said, “It’s a deal, but just to be on the safe side, let’s have our lawyers look at the handshake.” It Makes Sense...By Veda Hale womens Henrie Ipson Usuhealth issues send Kathryn me a wonderful hint a l l y this week.

It usually takes a plumber to take the trap part of the drain off and retrieve it. Sometimes it is something valuable dropped, like a diamond ring, and then the owner is frantic. Where we live, a plumber isn’t always easy to come by, so here is a handy hint to remember. Get a strong shop vacuum (Yes, that might be as hard to come by as a live plumber, but then maybe not. Borrowing one might not cost you anything.) Then take an old panty hose and stretch it over the sucking part. Block the overflow hole the best you can and then stick the hose end over the drain and let it suck. will come out and catch on the stocking. After this cleaver trick, be sure to run some water so the U shaped trap will have water in it to block smells from the sewage pipes. Another trick to help find some little thing you have dropped on the floor is to take a flash light, lay it on the floor on it’s side and then look along the line of light to see if whe lost item can be seen because of its shadow. You might have to move the light around, but even little thing will have a shadow to help guide your searching eyes to it.

Christopher Schultze, a conservation officer in the Kane County area, says he was very impressed with the bucks he saw taken during the archery hunt. “I haven’t seen or heard of any big bucks taken so far during the muzzleloader hunt,” Schultze says. “I’m optimistic about the rifle hunt, especially if we get a cold spell that pushes the bucks down.” Rifle hunt starts Oct. 17 You might see a few more deer when Utah’s rifle buck deer hunt starts Oct. 17. The weather this past spring and winter was almost ideal for mule deer. More than 70,000 hunters, plus their family and friends, are expected afield for Utah’s most popular hunt. “The weather this past spring and winter was excellent for mule deer,” says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. “Last winter was really mild—the snow stayed up high, and the valleys and the winter ranges were warm,” Aoude says. “It’s difficult to determine exactly how many deer die each winter. But because this past winter was so mild, we think far fewer deer were lost than would have been lost during a normal winter.” Aoude says the mild winter was followed by a long, wet spring. “The state received plenty of rain clear into June,” he says. “That rain provided doe deer with a lot of good, nutritious vegetation. And that helped the does provide plenty of milk to the fawns they gave birth to earlier this summer.” Nutritious vegetation also helps bucks grow bigger antlers. “When bucks have good vegetation to eat, even two- to three-year-old bucks can grow some nice antlers.” Southern Region Rifle hunters in the Southern Region could see quite a few bucks. And those bucks might have some thick antlers. “Many of the bucks that I have seen harvested during the archery and muzzleloader hunts have been fabulous,” says Teresa Bonzo, regional wildlife manager. “I’m thrilled to see the antler growth on the deer. I think the cool, wet spring really did wonders for antler growth this year.” Bonzo anticipates a great rifle hunt. “It has been dry, though,” she says. “Unless we get some storms between now and the hunt, finding a water hole might be a huge factor in the success you find.” Biologist Jim Lamb says there are lots of young bucks on the Plateau and Monroe units. “People report seeing them all over [the place],” he says. Lamb says the deer on the units are starting to head to lower elevations because of the cooler weather. Jason Nicholes, biologist on the Pine Valley, South- west Desert and Zion units, says he’s seen lots of small bucks and a few bigger ones too. “Archery hunters reported seeing a lot of nice bucks during the general hunt,” says biologist Dustin Schaible. Schaible is the biologist for the Mount Dutton, Panguitch and Paunsaugunt units. “Hunters can expect to see plenty of deer since many of our southern region units are at or approaching population objectives,” he says. “Please remember to wear your hunter orange, and be safe.” Sean Kelly, a biologist on the Fillmore and Beaver units, says archery and muzzleloader hunting has been a little slow on the Pahvant subunit so far. “Hunters are seeing a fair number of bucks, but the unusually dry conditions can make it difficult to get within shooting range,” he says. Kelly says some really nice bucks have been taken on the farmland and desert areas west of I-15. On the Beaver unit, the area west of I-15 has also produced some nice bucks. “It’s hard to make predictions because weather plays such a critical role in determining how may deer are taken during the rifle hunt,” Kelly says. “But our buck-to-doe ratios were good after the hunts last fall (22 bucks per 100 does on the Fillmore unit and 16 bucks per 100 does on the Beaver unit). It looks like most of those bucks are still alive going into the 2009 rifle season.” Vance Mumford, a biologist on the Monroe and Fishlake units, says the muzzleloader hunt was hot and dry and hunters had a hard time moving around quietly. That made hunting difficult. “Good numbers of young bucks have been reported on the Beaver and Monroe units,” Mumford says. “By the time the general rifle hunt rolls around, though, the deer near the roads have seen a lot of big game hunters. The farther you can get away from the roads, the more bucks you’ll see.” Mumford reminds you that the hunt on the Monroe unit doesn’t open until Oct. 21. A delayed five-day hunt is being held on the unit to try and increase the number of bucks on the unit compared to the number of does. A boundary description for the Monroe unit is avail- |
