The daughters seem to be helping their husbands down the same road as their father How Can I Help?

Geno: The following is an effort to correct recorded in the some information Millard Milestones book regarding the early teachers in Deseret Marion Lufkin daughter of George Washington Lufkin and Martha Ann was one of the pioneer Townsend teachers in Deseret This family was related to the Barron family early settlers of that area Marion Lufkin was later the wife of Douglas M Todd one of the presidents of the Rexburg Academy (later known as Ricks College in Idaho) They had ten children their Afton Todd Tonge eldest daughter had a daughter Shirley who lived with r the families of Harry Pearson and Bert Whitmore in the South Tract area near Delta Marion Lufkin Todd also had a Albert Hay Malotte who was well known in the musical field for “The Lord’s Prayer” sung frequently by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Thank you for your considera'tion of the above information Shirley Tonge Calif Burlingame Letter to Editor: I feel that I should write a rebuttal to the article put into the Chronicle Progress last week by Mr Workman the mismanagement of concerning public funds and the need for new buildings in the Postal Service is safe to assume that at least 40 It percent of the smaller post offices here in our state are not adequate buildings for us to render the type of service that we like to give the citizens of this state In our area the Oak City building does as well as many not have a bathroom in Utah other buildings for the employees I really wonder what they are supposed to use when nature calls The Hinckley building is very old and drafty and cold in winter and hot in summer The walls are spreading apart and you could see daylight under the building I decided to spread cinders around the foundation to help keep the cold out but the landlord did not like this idea I do not feel that an adequate job can be done under these types of conditions I have worked for the Postal Service in two states for many years Every post office I have every worked in has had employees who did their level best to provide the best possible service that they could In 1970 Congress passed a law that the Postal Service should be run like a business but they have never let it run as such yet because of public outcry The public does not want the offices closed on Saturday and discontinue the Saturday delivery of mail The smaller towns do not want their post office closed and be put on delivery routes We keep getting the service of UPS thrown at us The UPS does not have to maintain an office in our county Two years ago they withdrew all service from Alaska as that state was not cost efficient for them To my knowledge they have never resumed service to that state They are a business and as such they have to run the way that is best for them to be cost efficient The Postal Service cannot be cost efficient because Congress will not let it be that wy If the Postal Service had to be run as a business the rates could be back to 10 cents or 15 cents at the most for postage for a letter We cannot have er we have service with the high rates or we have a different service with the low rates I also need to explain why Mr Workman found a Hinckley postmark on the back of his mail when it was forwarded to him Back in 1982 when we had an influx of people move into our area the Postal officials came down to Delta and found that the extra work load was creating a delay in the forwarding of the mail They asked me if I would be willing to help forward this mail for Delta I did not have to take on this extra work but I felt I had enough time to do this and was glad to help provide better service I have continued to this day to provide this service at a great savings to the Postal Service Two years ago the officials came down to see about moving the forwarding for Delta up to the Salt Lake Terminal When we found out that we could work the forwards and have them out by the time they were sent to Salt Lake and that it would then take close to a week to get them worked the Delta Postmaster and I were able to talk them out of doing it as we wanted to give our patrons better service than that We have found that most of the time we are able to get the mail forwarded on to a person by two days L C Hardy Hinckley Postmaster SPORTS MED Keeping your cool during summer football workouts Summer football practice will soon be under way and players must suffer the heat and humidity of August in order to be ready for the big games played on cool Fall days High and humidity can be temperatures responsible for heat injury if some simrules for overlooked are ple prevention Heat injury is an important consideration in summer football training to one study between According 60 deaths from heat injury In recent years this were reported number has been reduced due to a better understanding of the body’s temperature at 986 degrees F Exercise however causes a buildup of heat There may be a normal increase of degrees F with exercise To prevent a continuous rise in temperature the body must give off excess heat This may be accomplished by one of several methods Radiation occurs when heat rays are given off by the body when in a cooler environment Cooling by convection occurs as air currents move over the body Conduction occurs when objects that our body touches (ex: a chair) accept body heat Respiration by the lungs also has a cooling effect Lastly but most importantly sweat evaporation occurs when energy (heat) is taken from the skin as the liquid (sweat) forms a vapor When sweat is fluids must be replaced in evaporated the body to prevent dehydration High humidity and hot temperature call for fluid replacement as well Heat injury is generally associated with increased temperature and relative is especially humidity Humidity critical as some deaths have occurred at seemingly comfortable temperatures (60°) when humidity was high (60 percent) Why does this occur? When relative humidity is high the air is saturated with moisture and cannot take up any more water At this point sweat cannot be evaporated from the skin Sweating itself does not cool the body Sweat must evaporate for cooling to take place Wiping sweat off doesnot have the same cooling effect Heat stroke can kill Therefore heat injury should not be taken lightly This sometimes fatal injury can be prevent by following a few simple rules It is important to know the environment or relative If temperatures humidity is high schedule practices for early morning or early evening Have scheduled water breaks Every 30 minutes players should drink oz of plain cool water Two hours before practice have them consume 32 oz of water Plain cool water is the best replacement fluid Solutions with added sugar can cause nausea or a sense of fullness that prevents the athlete from consuming an adequate amount of fluid Sugar also slows the body’s ability to empty the stomach and allow absorption Wear clothing that exposes as much skin as possible to the air This helps with sweat evaporation White net jerseys and shorts are ideal for summer football should practice Players remove their helmets periodically during practice Know your athletes Those who are big or those with large amounts of fat are more susceptible to heat injury Make sure they follow the rules of Off the field athletes prevention should replace fluids so that weight does not vary more than one pound between each practice One pint of water should be ingested for each pound lost Thirst is quenched before fluid needs are met Athletes should weigh in each day before practice to ensure that fluid replacement is adequate Football players who fail to replace fluid losses may lose pounds daily Diet should be rich in fresh fruits and vegetables These help replace lost electrolytes Salt tablets are not necessary as sodium is easily replaced in the diet from foods we normally eat Food may be lightly salted if sweating has been profuse What about salt tablets? One negative side effect is that sodium holds water in the body and on a hot day this can prevent the athlete from sweating and evaporating heat The need for adequate fluid replacement before during and after practice cannot be Adequate fluid replacement will prevent heat jury and keep players more alert In turn the players are more skillful and effective in their performance Should you have any problems or questions about heat illness or fluid check with your family replacement physician If you have a specific sports medicine related question please feel free to address them to us Write to Dr Steve 1361 SPORTS MEDLINE Henry Louisville Tyler Park Kentucky 40204 Cary Church Church Lumber is a little small town business by Dawn Carder owner of Church Gary Church Lumber considers his operation a little small town business “We didn't gear for the boom Instead we took care of our bread and butter customers” It is Gary’s belief that serce vice is most to the people who have supported the Church family over the years In 1955 Grant Church Gary’s father bought the lumber business from MJ Roper and the Church famiOver the years ly became entrenched a few buildings have been added and minor changes have been made Still the store and the surroundings remain basically the same as they were when MJ Roper was the owner While still in high school Gary began working for his dad in the store and he’s been there since that time In 1955 he and his wife Anna Lee bought the business from Grant thus continuing the family tradition Today Gary’s and Anna Lee’s three sons work for their parents some Who one will follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps sometime in the future Church Lumber is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 5:30 pm and from 8 am until noon on Saturday Lumber items for home improvement hardware plumbing and heating supplies and the basic nuts and bolts for building homes are sold It is the only place in town where boards are sawed and pipes are threaded Much is sold to contractors and special orders are made upon request Since most everything Church Lumber buys comes from Salt Lake most orders can be supplied overnight Although no one from the store goes out on jobs deliveries of wood and supplies are made Gary Church has learned the trade through “on the job” rather than formal education As with most careers experience has been and continues to be the best teacher Many of the store’s employees have had experience in construction which as Gary says is a real plus for customers The work force at Church Lumber includes Gary Walker Ed Harris the Church’s sons Russ and Bryce Anna Lee and Gary Church Anna Lee does the book work prepares statements and is in charge of the payroll The rest of the work is handled equally for as stated “everybody does Gary Added to the group is everything” Grant Church who still comes in quite often to cheer everyone up and help out in any way needed Gary is justifiably proud of his sons Russ Church recently completed his business degree at Utah Technical School in Provo and Bryce just finished his first year at the same school where he is majoring in refrigeration The two says their father have goals which they continue to pursue With and exeducation personal goals perience Russ and Bryce provide an added dimension for the business There is nothing fancy about Church Lumber Rather it is in Gary’s estimation more of an old fashioned place similar to general stores where one can stove sit around a Everything is casual and people frequently stop in to visit feeling comfortable in the relaxed atmosphere “There is nothing fancy” Gary admits “We just try hard to make people happy” the business was not Although geared for the IPP boom Gary Church has enjoyed the changes in the community and he has appreciated the newcomers to the area He believes that the mix of people has been good for everyone concerned The business acquired some good new accounts and that meeting and Gary commented becoming acquainted with people from other places has been a “neat experience” The Church family and the business sponsor many activities and organizations in the community They contribute to such programs as softball volleyball the Miss Millard Pageant and the Jr Livestock Show They also fund the radio announcing of high school games during the season In his free time if there is any Gary Church enjoys team roping with his sons Other sources of pleasure are outdoor activities such as hunting fishing and working with horses The family has a little cabin in Oak City Canyon which is an ideal place to find solitude and relaxation “We may not be rich in terms of the world” Gary observed “but we’re proud of Delta and we’re here because we want to be” There has been some decline in business but not that much “We have survived tougher times” said Gary “Business has been good to us” The Church family and the business have been around a long time Hopefully both will remain Concern for the customer comfortable surroundings and love of the area are positive attributes that are extended by Gary Church his family and his employees at Church Lumber the “little small town business” Just for Today How long can I keep doing the things I’ve been doing? Summer started off just perfect I had a job time to party and freedom I even had someone to spend my time with (I really cared for them) I don’t know what happened I don’t have any money my girlfriend is gone and everyone’s telling me what to do My parents keep I’m bugging me about where going and when I’ll be home I wish I knew what happened to all those things I had Call Geno WE’RE FIGHTING FOR VOUR LIFE American Heart Association There are 1678815 United States Delta Area B Reed Jcflm Smiths in the WWiHEU i J Fillmore Area B Ju T Rngrn Low Precp 69 56 50 Four states have active volcanoes: California Alaska and Washington Hawaii 52 55 61 60 30 |
