Show Page 4 September 04, 2008 IN OUR TOWN... Explore Escalante It Makes Sense...By Veda Hale jana@exploreescalante.com Cardboard – I received a call about cardboard recycling. Howard Hutchison has a 5th-wheel type trailer that he’ll donate to whomever will do the recycling. That’s a start. Now is anyone interested? School Board issues – I forgot, sorry, to give you the website for logging onto the Utah Government site where agendas are posted. You can register and sign-up for the Escalante City Planning and Zoning meetings and City Council. Go to: https://secure.utah.gov/pmn-admin/index.html. I’ve received comments that there are two seats in Panquitch (for the school board). That’s not true. The race in Panguitch is Mac Ottinger vs. Brian Bremner. This is a repeat race from 4 years ago. Water – In case you’ve missed the outside watering schedule for Escalante City Culinary water – South of Main Street (Hwy12) Monday and Thursday before 10AM and after 7 PM. North of Main Street (Hwy 12) Tuesday and Friday. No outside watering Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. The New Escalante Irrigation District has signs up that it’s at 50% but that’s not true. According to the recording at the office “the water is off”. Copyright and Trademark Laws - A trademark is a designation, “any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof,” which serves “to identify and distinguish [the] goods [of the mark’s owner] . . . from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods, even if that source is unknown.” 15 U.S.C. Section(s) 1127 Iin order to be protected as a valid trademark, a designation must create “a separate and distinct commercial impression, which . . . performs the trademark function of identifying the source of the merchandise to the customers A trademark is not only a symbol of an existing good will, although it is commonly thought of only as that. Primarily it is a distinguishable token devised or picked out with the intent to appropriate it to a particular class of goods and with the hope that it will come to symbolize good will. BOYCE F. MARTIN, JR., Chief Judge US Supreme Court. The interpretation of this ruling was carried forward to include buildings in the public. When Tracy and I first moved to Escalante we embarked on a project to photograph all the Barns of Escalante. We ran into the issue of property releases for commercial use of the photographs. Until a more recent ruling than the one above in 1998, the courts required property releases from owners if I wanted to take a picture of a house and sell it. That has been turned around and determined that if “the picture is taken from a public vantage point” it can be used. So, maybe this winter we’ll go back and continue our project. I have a great assortment of images of barns, wheels, fences and other treasures that folks have in their yards. I’m going to start using them on the Explore Escalante website. You might look for yours. In the meantime, we’re happy to announce the addition to our “Made in Escalante” ™ Gallery. Valerie Orlemann will bring her work into the main Gallery Beginning in September. The balance of her show from the Anasazi Museum will be here. Stop in if you didn’t get to Boulder in August. We’ll also be creating a series of Giclee prints for her. Valerie joins Randsom Owens, Lynn Griffin, Jackie Withers, Quinn Griffin, Marie Porter, Lillian Lyman, Howard Hutchison, Harriet Priska, Sharon Graf and Tracy and me in the “Made in Escalante” ™ Gallery. Summer reading was great. The July and August selections were a toss-up for the best. Both “Friday Night Knitting Club” and “The Lost Art of Keeping A Secret” were fun reading, entertaining, about real life and engaging. I hope you got a chance to read them. A couple of copies are still available here at the Gallery. It’s a political year and the conventions are over (or about over) and we should rejoice that we can vote how we believe. The book for September is “Freedom For The Thought That We Hate; A biography of the First Amendment” by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Anthony Lewis. Until Next Week - - - Jokes (from) the South... Tennessee: The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary forsome mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, ‘You graduated from the University ofTennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off? ‘The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, ‘Everything but my earrings.’ Alabama: A group of Alabama friends went deerhunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. ‘Where’s Henry?’ the others asked. ‘Henry had a stroke of some kind. He’s a couple of miles back up the trail,’ the successful hunter replied. ‘You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?’ they inquired.’A tough call,’ nodded the hunter. ‘But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!’’ Texas: The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, ‘Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don’t you see that sign right over your head,’’Yep’, he replied. ‘That’s why I dumpin it here, cause it says ‘Fine For Dumping Garbage’. Louisiana: A senior at LSU was overheard saying, ‘When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana.’When asked why, he replied he’d rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world. Mississippi: The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, ‘Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!’ Bubba replied, ‘Did you see who it was?’ The young man answered, ‘I couldn’t tell, but I got his license number.’ Georgia: A Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I- 75. The trooper asked, ‘Got any I. D.?’ The driver replied, ‘Bout whut?’ North Carolina: A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, ‘I have a flat tire.’ The passerby asked, ‘But what’s with the flowers?’ The man responded, ‘ When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don’t make no sense to me neither.’ And finally, this from South Carolina: You can say what you want about the South, but I ain’t never heard of anyone wanting to retire to the North. Even though it is fruit time, buying fresh fruit is still expensive Here are a few suggestions to make the most of your fruit dollar. Stop premature discoloration. Peel and cut fruit. Fill a large bowl with 1 qt. of water and add 1 tbsp. of salt or two crushed vitamin C pills. Dunk the fruit pieces into the water. You may also juice a lemon, put the juice on a plate and toss cut pieces of fruit in the lemon juice to preserve its natural color. Step 2 Prevent fruit bruising on your way home from the grocery store. Open all produce bags, use your breath to fill the bags with air and tie the bags. The air acts as a cushion and protects the fruit during its transfer. Step 3 Keep ripe apples away from fresh fruit. Ripe apples release the ripeningstimulant ethylene that can quickly affect neighboring produce. Step 4 Pick berry packages that don’t have squashed berry stains on the bottom of them. Separate soft, bruised and damaged berries from the firm ones. Wash berries right before eating them. Prematurely washing the berries may result in accidental damage. Step 5 Put fruits and vegetables in separate crispers. Store them in plastic bags so that humidity levels are optimal for freshness. Step 6 Inspect your crispers and fruit bowls regularly. Thoroughly clean their surfaces and throw out damaged, bruised or moldy fruit to help save the rest of your produce. Step 7 Make sure that your fruit is refrigerated at a steady temperature of 34 degrees F.
