Show May 21, 2009 IN OUR TOWN Panguitch 9 - 10 year olds win Ice Breaker Tournament. FYI PANGUITCH Well it is certainly spring time; I’ve never seen the flowering crab apples look so pretty. Washington D.C. and their cherry trees have nothing on us. Over night the leaves have filled out the trees, and the lilac bushes are in bloom. The tulips are out, gas prices are up and the tourists are filling the motels. Maybe somebody can tell me why spring and fall, the prettiest times of the year only last about three weeks and winter last for eight months. It’s easy to see why Panguitch is a designated Tree City; I counted twenty two trees on my little piece of land. Speaking trees, my neighbor needed three trees taken out, and Kevin Frandsen (grandson) brought in this really big piece of equipment and he told me this is what they use to log trees in the forest, it takes the place of about 20 loggers. It was a real engineering feat to get it in the back yard. This machine grabs a hold of the tree, (a real tree hugger) and the saw, which is about 5’ across cut the tree down in less than 3 seconds, this was a 60 year old tree that was infringing on the neighbors property. Last April 1st four of the last five EMTs from the Class of 95, retired, after 14 years of service, to Panguitch and Garfield Co. Joyce Bennett, Jimmy Johnson, Julianne Mullenaux and My self, called it a day. I figure between the four of us, we went on around 2500 runs, life flights, transports, parades, delivering Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. As a professional fire fighter for 30 years, I never went on one traffic fatality, here we have had 45 fatalities in the last 14 years, no I didn’t go on all of them, speed is the difference. A number of these involved three victims , and many wrecks that were really bad, no one was injured, because they were wearing seat belts and that with the air bags saved their lives. The car fatalities are being replaced with 4 wheelers deaths, speed and no helmets’ seems to a real problem. I don’t think any of us will forget the bus full of kids from the East Coast., that rolled over in Red Canyon That run alone showed everyone what a great EMS program there is here. We had ambulances coming from all over the place to take the patients to the hospital and the Fire Fighters handled what was a fully involved bus, fire that was really going.

The DUP Museum will start its 2009 schedule in June through August. It will be opened both Friday and Saturday from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm. The museum is filled with great history and wonderful memories, if you haven’t been there, it is time, if you have been there before you will find something new. All are welcome. The Social Hall’s west side was damaged by a delivery truck and in no time at all Dennis Davis had it repaired. He not only repaired it so that the damage doesn’t show but he used old brick to maintain it’s historical integrity. Dennis you and your brick work skills are a real asset to our community. Even before the new Senior Citizens and the Share and Care buildings have opened, a light has been broken and kids are skateboarding on the new cement patio and walkways. Please parents, teach your children to respect private property. I know, it would be nice to have a skateboard park for the kids but we don’t and until we do, let’s take care of what we have. Speaking of disrespect for public property, someone is shooting their guns at the cemetery fences. They have small bullet holes on one side but when the bullet goes out the other side it does major damage to the fence. Please we have a shooting range, parents if you are letting your kids have guns, that’s the place they need to be. It doesn’t require any skill to shoot a hole in a fence, its called vandalism. This years City clean up day will be May 30, last year we had about twenty volunteers that came in and were a great help with this project, so if you have the time and want to help with the clean up, come on out and meet at the City hall at 9am. If you have stuff you want to get rid of, please call the City at 676-8585 and tell them what you have and where it is. The ditch water started last Monday and your meter will be read this week, so use the ditch water to water your grass. The schedule will run from 8am to 8am the next day. Northwest corner Monday, northeast Tuesday, southeast Wednesday, and southwest will water on Thursday. Keep the Good News coming. Mack O.
