Box 919, Panguitch, UT 84759 or email directly to lfielding@ silveradoboysranch.com Garfield Memorial Hospital We were very saddened by the comments last month of one of our state representatives, Chris Butters. If memory serves us, he was in the news last year likening something bad to “black babies”. Now, this year he makes the statement that gay people, homosexuals, are worse than terrorists, attacking our country from the inside. We find it amazing that someone so out of touch with how to be tolerant and not offend people can hold public office and make decisions for this state. Living in Utah for over 30 years, we feel this is exactly the kind of hate talk that gives our state, full of wonderful people, a bad name. There are such huge problems in our country now, after years of uncontrolled greed in corporate America. We need to get together and not be separating into opposing groups. We need purple, not red and blue, and we need owls that are wise rather than hawks and doves; if we are to solve our huge problems. We have been married for a long time, but we feel that gay people should be left alone, given rights and not harrassed. One problem we hear is a misconception that gay people are pedophiles, which is the horrendous act of abusing children. In truth, most pedophiles are in fact heterosexual. Whether or not one agrees with the scientific evidence that being gay is something people are born with in the genes, like eye color, can we not try to at least stop the hate and substitute tolerance and even love. Behind all anger and hate is fear, and there is a lot of fear in the statements of people like Rush Limbaugh and Chris Butters. They divide rather than build bridges. We look forward to more leaders in Utah like our governor, who is trying to walk a middle line and listen and open up rather than narrow minded leaders who do not listen. We do not need arrogance, we need humility. This is too great a state to allow our leaders to embarrass us to the rest of the country.

Speaking for those of us in Panguitch who have benefited from their caring service we say “Thank You”. “Thank You” for your sleepless nights, the long hours of service, the interrupted meals, the time away from your families, the transports of the ill, the inconvenience, the skills you have developed and shared. Your many hours of volunteer service have not gone unnoticed. Again, please know that we have appreciated your service and your kind, gentle and caring ways will be missed. This weeks suggestion came from someone who said not to print his name. It is someone I never in a million years would imagine doing something like this. He is a “computer geek” making a six figure salary and wears jeans to work. He said he had several pair of jeans that were so washed they looked faded. (I thought that is how they like to wear them) He told how one day he passed the place in the store where dye was displayed and got the idea to buy some dark blue and dye his jeans. He did just that, and apparently it made them presentable again, in his eyes, at his work place. Hummm. Is finding little things to save money how some rich people get rich? It probably helps, but not as much as a good education. Still I gave him a good pat on the back and asked permission to put his suggestion in the paper....just for the heck of it. Speaking of laundry ideas,... for those with a wood stove that has glass in the doors. Did you know you could get double duty from fabric softener sheets by using them to clean the glass. Something left in them works to help get rid of the smoke build up. Try it. We don’t have black walnuts around here. But I recently drove by a house I Advertise in the Insider Call 676-2621 results of puzzle from MARCH 26 used to live in that had black walnut trees. I remembered how impossible the meat was to get at from the nuts. Then I heard just recently that if I had cracked the nuts, let them dry four or five days, then the meat would have come out easily. I didn’t know until we sold just how valuable the wood was in those thees. Seems gun stocks are made from them and the wood is rare. Lots of things we learn too late, but it makes sense to log away information anyway. Send suggestions to Veda Hale Box 956, Panguitch, Utah 84759 or email vedahale@hotmail.com |
