tree just the wide double doors open to the west and on the west side of the railroad tracks between the Bonneville Lumber Co and the Hub Mer The blacksmith shop was on the busy road to Sutherland Sugarville Sunflower and Abraham Ben was always busy shaping a horse shoe repairing a wheel or hammering red hot iron into whatever usefulness was needed ‘‘The children coming home from school look in at the open door they love to see the flaming forge and hear the bellows roar and catch the burning sparks that fly like chaff from a threshing floor” We also drove around the Bethany campus Daw u's

Paul and Sandy Schmanski A special thanks from the Chamber of Commerce The Delta Area Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all of those who stood by to help with "Celebrate Utah" and to those who participated A very special thank you to the West Central Vocational School Staff the School Board for the use of their parking lot the teachers who took time out to bring their students to see the equipment and meet the KUTV crew members to the city for sprucing up the park and allowing the use of the city building and to IPP Rod Clark and Rex Stanworth Research supports the concept that when teachers parents and other adults have expectations of success of failure for learners they tend to behave in such a manner that their expectations become prophecies for the learners Examine the prophecies that are expressed by your exAre your expectations pectations unrealistic demands? Do you expect of others things you would not do your self under similar circumstances? Do you expect your children to be successful? Are your expectations for others an expression of your unrealized goals? How do your expectations affect your relationships with others? in Analyze the situations which children say “I can’t” Do they mean “I feel incapable?” Do they mean “I won’t because I’m afraid of failure and disapproval?” Do they mean “1 am unwilling to do what you want me to do because want to do something else?" Show faith and confidence in young people Value them for what they are Let them know you believe they have the resources to meet all of life’s challenges Express your belief in them both verbally and nonverbally A special thank you to Mayor Hansen Warren Peterson Willis Morrison and Susan Dutson for meeting with and allowing the KUTV team to interview them Chamber CoordinJoy Morrison ator for the project found the crew very delightful to work with and know they will return to Delta again as they found much going on in our community and found people in Delta to be very friendly and open Thank you again for making this a successful day in spite of the wind! When you do have expectations for them let them know what those expectations are Be aware that unrealistic hurt demands can cause resentment or anger disappointment The scope of our expectations for our children or students can range from belief in the worth a fundamental potential and abilities of individuals to they conform to unrealistic standards of behavior or levels of achievement Excellent teachers and effective parents communicate to young people acceptance of their worth realistic expectations for them and confidence in them demands that Last fling of the season-upholst- ery USU Extension for Millard County w ill be holding an Upholstery Class in Fillmore as a last fling before summer Come join us There is room for a few more people to learn this educational process It will be held June 4 5 6 10 II and 13 1986 in Fillmore Utah Call USU Extension office Fillmore and Delta for additional information You can’t go home again by Bob Thomas It was Robert Frost who said something to the affect that “home was a place where when you xvent they had to take you in” He may have said it in the present tense I’m not sure On the other hand it was Thomas Wolfe who penned “You Can’t Oo Home Again” love the works of Frost but I’m clined to agree with Wolfe tried to “go home” once It was a lesson in futility For a lot of years called Pa home Conyngham lies in Sugarloaf Valley in the northeast corner of the state You can find it in your Atlas at that exact spot where Interstate 80 crosses over Interstate 81 When I was a boy the valley was known as the “Green Tomato Capital of the World” No more It’s now a boudoir homes and community of shopping malls People who live within the surrounding green mountains try to forget that just over the horizon is the ugliness of the pockmarked and Anthracite Region They are like the keepers of the oasis who ignore the sands Back in the late ’40s Hollywood filmed "The Miracle of the Bells" in my valley It starred Frank Sinatra and the underwhelming Valli a French actress who used but one name In a role I remember was Fred a MacMurray as “Spats" Donovan iconoclastic newspaper man bent on disproving that religious statues could move on their own My memories of Conyngham - from childhood until the beginning of the war - were of summers swimming in Frederick’s Pond and of overnight camping trips to Bishop’s Woods the latter not more than 500 yards from the warmth and safety of Mother’s bosom In the winter we’d on the Lehigh River or spend hours sledding down Butler Hill and then hurry home to hot chocolate topped with miniature marshmallows Three summers ago I went back in search of an all but forgotten youth No one looked after Frederick’s Pond anymore Its waters were muddy and coated with a Woods have been algae Bishop's denuded to make room for homesites The acid spill from the White Haven Tannery had taken its toll on fishing in the Lehigh River Butler Hill was still there but someone had planted Christmas tree saplings along its slopes The old homestead still stands at 93 Butler Avenue Three stories high 15 rooms of old oak and pine and all held together with fieldstone construction Its exterior appearance hasn't changed all that much since it was built in 1853 It’s no longer in the family though My sister sold it and moved to one of the Tressler’s General Store where had as a my first gainful employment I delivery boy is now a floral shop The site of Art Wenner’s Garage is noxv a parking lot for an S&L that sits xvhere Sam Banks had his candy store used to buy Hershey bars in there for a nickle That was when ethyl for my first car a ’36 Fond roadster was selling for 17 cents a gallon at Wenner’s My walk along Main Street triggered nothing of deja vu Nothing xxas familiar No one waxed to me or called out my name At the west end of Main Street is the Reform Church of Christ Cemetery My parents are buried there under a single headstone stood there for a while and remembered the cold day in January of 1970 when we buried my father could not make it home from a small island in the Indian Ocean when my mother died four years later My first impulse was to drive away from the place but granted myself one more day to seek out something roamed the town anything familiar for another full morning and afternoon looked for old faces I listened for old sounds I tried to detect old smells Anything that would allow me to rush back to a time four decades in the past Nothing In the gloaming hours of that evening returned to the little cemetery and said my final farewells And then left And promised myself never to look back Never aeain |
