Show APRIL 12,2007 by Earl Roe wearlroe@yahoo.com • 676-2376 Two hot items to kick off this week's Knothole. Number one: It is actually raining in Panguitch and from the looks of the clouds, it could be the beginning of one of those old time Spring sizzle sozzles. (If we could be so fortunate.) Number two: Another Panguitch cowboy has been injured. Robert (Hazzard) Brown sent me word that Travis Hatch was thrown from his horse and hit the ground quite hard resulting in injuries a little more serious than those he(Hazzard)suffered a couple of weeks ago in a similar way. Hazzard began his note with the phrase:"He who laughs last laughs loudest", but he also extends his best wishes to Travis with the phrase: "Cowboy up and get well". I am not a horseman but with two similar occurrences happening so close together, I'm wondering if both Travis and Hazzard should maybe cut down on the oats they are feeding their mounts so that they would not be so frisky. Jackie (Sevy) Hatch, from Henderson, Nevada and the daughter of Doyle and Edyth Sevy, would like our Insider readers (especially those from Panguitch) to know that her dad will celebrate his 90th Birthday on the 10th of this month and they will also celebrate their 73rd anniversary the same day. They were married on Doyle's 17th birthday in Circleville. Edyth and Doyle are about the same age, but those who know Edyth and have been around her very much, will find this hard to believe. Edyth worked as as cook in our old hospital for a number of years and the last time Evalyn and I visited them, she told me about watching out of the kitchen window (and worrying) as I climbed the steeple on the old Tabernacle to remove the fish weather vane which now sits atop the courthouse. An example of how the Insider gets around: Claude Hatch (Panguitch) sends it to his brother, Carvel (Jackie's husband); after they have read it they take it to Doyle and Edyth who then take it to their aunt Myrtle Heywood (former Panguitch resident) and they all say they enjoy reading it and especially the Knothole (which pleases me) and is the reason I try to connect people I mention to their parents or grandparents so that our older readers and former residents will know who they are. I also know that Page 8 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER if my memory is not as sharp as it used to be and I make a mistake in doing this, someone will always call me and set me straight. (My thanks to Jackie for the only Easter greeting card that 1 received.) This may not be news to many of our readers but it was just brought to my attention so I am going to mention it as it is about long ago, long time Panguitch residents who I know. Ashby and Ina (Proctor) Imlay celebrated their 74th wedding anniversary with their family last August. They were bom in Panguitch in the early 1900's(1911 & 1916) and moved toOgdenin 1942. I had a pleasant visit a couple of days ago with Kip Davis, another of my former students last week. Kip is the son of Dennis and Alana (Olsen) Davis. Kip graduated from PHS in 1994 and from SUU in 2000. He then went to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to work for Strong Investments before deciding that he would like to be a dentist. He and his wife, Kari, then moved to Richmond, Virginia where he enrolled in the VCU School of Dentistry. He will complete his dentistry training and will graduate on the 18th of May, 2007. I always figured that gardening time was near when I was able to have my first dish of fresh rhubarb and a bowl of bread & milk and new multiplier onions. Thanks to Merle Stowell, I have now had both. From past experience I knew that Merle's patch of rhubarb was some of the earliest growing in Town so I went to check it and found that it was tall enough to pick. Merle told me to take what I wanted and also gave me a large bunch of multiplier onions which she had dug up and was going to throw away. I now have a row of them planted for next year and many coming years. (Multiplier onions and rhubarb are the first crops to come up in Panguitch unless you count dandelions which in pioneer days were cooked as greens.) I don't like to write about the deaths of anyone that I knew but since so many of older former residents still have many friends who read the Insider, I am writing about their death just in case these friends have not received this information. Clarice(Daly)Dodds passed away on March 8th. Clarice was the daughter of Walter B. Daly and Hazel Kirk Worthen and was Evalyn's first cousin. Margaret Krebs passed away on March 19th. She and her husband, Vaughn Krebs (deceased), lived here for several years and I am sure many of our present residents will remember them. I'm not sure but it seems to me that Vaughn worked for the telephone company. Gloria (LeFevre) Whaley (American Fork) passed away on April 3rd. She was the daughter of Stanley and Sylvia Ann LeFevre who were long time, long ago residents of Panguitch. Melba (Talbot) Raven, daughter of Alton and Leona (Excell) Talbot (both deceased) passed away on March 29th in Murray, Utah. Alton and Leona lived here for many years and will be well remembered by their friends and relatives who live here. Max Deuel Justet, son of James(Jim) Justet and Elizabeth Ann Deuel died on March 10th. Max was just 3 weeks older than me and went to school here at the same time as myself but I believe the family moved away before he entered High School. Writing of these deaths makes me think of a remark Bishop Farnsworth made at one of the funerals when he, O.J. Bauer, and I were the Bishopric of the Panguitch 2nd Ward. We had held either 9 funerals in 12 months or 12 funerals in 9 months. It has been so long ago that I can't remember which. Anyway we had had a rash of funerals and at one of the last ones when Bishop Farnsworth was conducting, he remarked: "I don't know what I am doing wrong but it seems that everyone is just dying to get out of the 2nd Ward". No one needs to die to get into the Knothole. Just send me something to write about. "Soap may do-For lads with fuzzBut sir you ain't-The kid you wuz" - Burma Shave(1951) ALL ABOARD!

Main, Panguitch, 435-676-2895 Vedahale@yahoo.com WORDS WOMEN USE 1.) FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right, and you need to shut up. 2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Don't be mad about this, it is just the same 5 minutes you use when it's your turn to help do things around the house. 3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine (see #1). 4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! 5.) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word but a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.) 6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. 'That's okay" means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. 7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you. Do not question or faint. Just say you're welcome. 8.) Whatever: Is a woman's way of leading you into #1" 9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "what's wrong" - for the woman's response refer to #3 |
