Show IN OUR TOWN FYI PANGUITCH All you wantabe farmers, get out in your hot houses and hustle your prize winning veggies and fruit on down to the County Fair and gather up some blue ribbons, today is the day they need to be entered. The Garfield County Fair Committee has been doing their best to turn the fair into one of the best in the state. It is you that will make or break this event, so get involved. If you are like me with no talent come on out and support those that do. Friday opens up with exhibits in the fair building and is open to the public from 10 am till 6 pm. There is so much going on that I won’t put down the times but look for games at the park, Dutch oven cooking class, horse fun day and goat tying at the Triple C, hula hoop contest, tug-owar, sumo wrestling, jump rope contest, all at the city park and Bingo at the fair building. A really big event is the ping pong ball drop at the park, a plane flies over and drops the balls with #s for prizes, this is a lot of fun, just to watch. Then Friday evening begins with mutton busting at 7:30 pm followed by RMPRA Pro Rodeo at the Triple C. These guys are top notch cowboys, with a lot of rough stock events. This event will need your support, so it can become part of the fair for years to come. Saturday starts with a Fun Run at 8 am and small animal judging will start at 11am. Next is the Fish Grab, which is as much fun to watch as the Easter Egg Hunt, at 10am promptly, so be there early. Bingo again at the fair building, at 10:30am Doxie race at noon. The Commissioner’s Luncheon will begin at noon and will run till everyone is fed. The Panguitch Lions club again will be hosting this free meal. The Lions will have Demolition Derby tickets for sale on site. The Talent show starts at 2pm at the fair building, come on out and cheer for your favorite, with another ping pong ball drop at 6pm.

Page 5 The Garfield County Insider August 13, 2009 By: Mack Oetting Smith’s Yellow Lab Car, sponsor is Paws- hence the name, Terry is a real crowd pleaser. There is a large number of cars/drivers coming from Richfield and even a car from Heber City. Tickets are on sale at the Panguitch City Hall, the County Building and I have some also. I can be reached at 676-2418 or at 295 N Main. The Derby, as far I know, is the last event for the summer, so treat your spouse to a night out. Pre race tickets cost $7.00 and $10.00 at the gate. This same weekend is the race, Desperado Duel, a bike race that starts in Panguitch goes up through Red Canyon, out through Johns Valley, to Antimony and on around to finish in Panguitch or about 100 miles. Glen Adams almost made it last year on his three wheel arm powered bike. I hope he enters again this year. The second part of the run, for the hearty, is up passed Panguitch Lake, to Mammoth Creek, on to Todds Junction and back to Panguitch. I doubt that any of these riders will have anything left, to go to the Derby, however they are sure welcome. Last Sunday at Church, Matt Houston blessed his daughter Camryn, her Great Grandfather Miles Barney stood in the Circle, three days later Miles passed on. Miles was a true Gentle Man, there were over 100 family members in attendance and they all had a story about Miles. Many in town are related to him, the Henries, Houston’s, Hatch’s, Orton’s and the Barney’s, just to name a few. Glen Bauer, the Lion’s Club Vice President, fell from his pickup and broke a number of ribs. Glen is the can man for the Lions Club, the cans allow the Club to give a Scholarship to the high school graduates. The Lions Club are now selling Birthday calendars, if a member has not called you, please contact Janis Henrie at 676-8012. Ladies this is a way that your husbands can remember birthdays. The D.U.P. Museum is open on Friday and Saturday till September, so come on down and learn about Panguitch’s History. They have the Golden Nuggets book there, which has much of Garfield County history, this is a fun book to read. It starts in 1907 and runs through the forties. You will see that things really hasn’t change that much, in 1907, 4500 lived in the County almost the same as now. The cost is only $10.00 and it is well worth it. A Mutual group from Price on their way to Mammoth for a Youth Conference stop by, 23 in all. Pat told them the history of the Quilt Walk that had to do the with founding of Panguitch and they enjoyed lunch that their leaders brought with them. Most of them got a tour of the house, some wanted to stay. I am sorry that I waited so long to report this, it happened back in June. The Panguitch FCCLA club sent 6 students back to Nationals in Nashville Tennessee. They had taken gold medals at State and earned the right to go to Nationals, they each had to raise $1,000 for the trip, and they are all freshman. There were 6,000 students in attendance from around the Nation. Jaylee Breinholt, Natashia Barney, Carly Holman, and Haley Taylor all Silver Medals, Brendan Lee and Austin Josie won the Bronze. Panguitch High has these fine young students for 3 more years. Gay Brudick is in the hospital in St George, she is going to have by-pass surgery. If you could bottle Gay’s enthusiasm wouldn’t this be a wonderful world. She is expected to be at the hospital for a while, so John is in St. George with her and will be dialyzed in St. George as long as Gay is there. Tiger wins another tournament, this is his 70th win and he is only 33. Jack Nickalas was 40 when he got 70 and Sam Snead was 42. If nothing happens to Tiger he will win well over 100 tournaments, before he is through. He is something else. Speaking of golf I played over in Cedar last month about 4 times. Cedar is listed in Guinness record book as the only golf course in the world with 800 holes. Those prairie dogs have destroyed much of the course, somehow level heads have to get rid of them.

Oil and Flowers When I go to a local discount store to get oil and filters for my car, I buy my wife a bouquet of flowers on display near the checkout counter. During one trip, some women in line behind me were oohing and aahing about a husband getting flowers for his wife. “How often do you do that?” one asked. Before I could answer, the cashier, more than familiar with my routine, said, “Every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.” Problem Child Psychiatrist to the mother of a problem child: “You are far too upset and worried about your son. I’m going to prescribe some tranquilizers for you. I suggest you take them regularly.” On the next visit: “So, have the tranquilizers calmed you down?” “Yes, they have.” “And how is your son now?” “Who cares?!?” Dress Shop Burglary “You admit having broken into the dress shop four times?” asked the judge. “Yes,” answered the suspect. “And what did you steal?” “A dress, your honor,” replied the suspect. “One dress?” echoed the judge. “But you admit breaking in four times!” “Yes, your honor,” sighed the suspect. “But three times my wife didn’t like the color.” Under the Lights Halfway through a romantic dinner at a cozy little restaurant, my husband smiled and said, “You look so beautiful under these lights.” I was falling in love with him all over again, until he added, “We gotta get some of these lights for home.” Break Up 2 My girlfriend broke up with me. She said it’s because I was always correcting her. She came over to my house and said, “Eddie, we need to talk.” I said, “My name is Eric.” She said, “See? I can’t say anything right around you!” It Makes Sense...By Veda Hale Well, it certainly doesn’t make cents to buy the “stuff” so I can grow tomatoes up-side down hanging from my patio....But so what. Some things just don’t make “cents” but “sense” in another way. Checking each day to see if our “pets” need water and to see how many blossoms are turning to a fruit, is just a little something to do that keeps folks connected to nature. That makes sense. And today I saw two tomatoes actually showing color. Yeah! What wonderful things shall I do with my “$20-dollar tomatoes? Basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, Mossarella and olive oil will be considered. I’ll use my creativity to decide when the time comes. Whatever it will be, you can expect I’ll serve with an extra flourish and a twinkle of pride. I recently bought a long braided string of garlic. Again it didn’t make cents. Even if I increase my garlic use ten fold, I’ll likely not use them up. I’ll give some away, however, and I just like the look of them hang- ing there in the kitchen, reminding me of what? I don’t really know. Must be something basic. Here are some hints about storing garlic, in case someone else had been enticed into buying a string. Garlic should be stored whole at cool room temperature in a dry place with good air circulation, away from heat or direct sunlight. You can purchase a covered clay garlic jar with holes in the side, which is specially designed to create these conditions. Or you can use a small, uncovered dish; place it in a kitchen cupboard or other dark, dry place. If the garlic is very plump and fresh, it should keep up to 8 weeks. Discard garlic when it loses its moisture, shrivels and sends out green shoots. Avoid storing garlic in the refrigerator; the temperature is too cold and can cause the garlic’s flavor to diminish. Also, because damp environments encourage mold, don’t keep garlic in a plastic bag. Special youth upland game hunts Hunters who are 15 years of age and younger can participate in special chukar and pheasant hunts this fall. These special youth hunts have been held in Utah for years. They’re a great way to introduce young people to upland game hunting. “Kids really enjoy these hunts,” says Dave Olsen, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. “They usually have plenty of birds to shoot at, and they don’t have to compete with older hunters for a bird.” Participating in one of the hunts is easy. If you’re 15 years of age or younger, and you’ve completed Utah’s Hunter Education course, just go online at www.wildlife.utah.gov/uplandgame and complete an application. To be considered for one of the youth chukar hunts, the DWR must receive your application no later than Aug. 22. Applications for the youth pheasant hunts are due by Sept. 7. |
