Show Page - Millard County 2 USPS Thurs Aug 6 1987 TO THE LETTERS EDITOR Anniversary not celebrated It was on July 31 1986 almost one year ago when Utah’s Department of Financial Institutions closed the doors of its Industrial Loan Guarantee Corporation and froze the savings of over 18000 citizens who had deposited in the state’s thrift and loan associations With almost the no exception editors of our state’s newspapers immediately responded by expressing in their editorial pages the opinion that the state should return these savings not only from a moral standpoint but from the mere fact that the ILGC had guaranteed to all protection depositors as well We have these editorials in our files and they are heartwarming to read and we are very grateful to our editors for having expressed themselves on our behalf What has happened during the past year is public knowledge Suffice it to say that what could have been remedied in a comparatively economical way - by the state living up to the promises it had made - has now developed into a situation that could eventually cost Utah’s taxpayers millions of dollars in litiga tion and extended legal fees No citizen of Utah wants to bring suit against his own state but there has been no alternative Every attempt to alleviate the dilemma that had been created by the action of the DFI has been met with a refusal of dialogue and no cooperation Many of our legislators are and have been prepared to act on our behalf in which case the law suits would be withdrawn and costs would no longer rise as they have during these months We believe in the free press and its ability to convey truths when other factions refuse to accept them We call upon our news medium once again to recognize Utah’s “day of infamy” July 31 1986 and what has followed and to express itself anew What Utah Holiday magazine in its April 1986 issue called “The Biggest Confidence Game should not go by in the World” That first anniversary unremembered is upon us Right now no one wants to celebrate Steering Committee Concerned Western Heritage Depositors Community Calendar Beginning June 15 Motor Vehicle Schedule: Fillmore Mond & Thurs 9 a m noon & Darin Pace and Jackie Breen wedding reception pm Delta 3rd Ward Cary Edwards and Tisha Mortensen wedding reception pm Delta West Stake Center Sutherland Kristi Jo Ivie and Brad L Olsen wed310 N 200 E ding Open House pm Delta Wed 9 a m noon & pm Renewals any working day at Millard County Offices 12 8 July August Prenatal Classes Delta Community Center 7:30 pm August 6 7 & 8 New Millard County Fair August 6 Millard County Fair Flower and Garden Produce check in am Millard County Fair Exhibits open to the public pm August 7 Millard County Fair Kids Fun Day Loreen Finlinson and Richard T Chisholm wedding reception pm Oak City Ward Pro- Hinckley Cheryl Stevens and George Beeston wedding reception pm Holden Ward Cultural Hall August 15 10 Great Basin Park dedication am Baker Nevada Tiffany Burns and Darwin Johnson wedding reception pm 200 N 200 E Meadow Last Chance Dance old tennis court Holden pm Sponsored by Millard High School Athletic Booster Club Overeaters meeting Anonymous Fillmore City Library 75 W Center Fillmore pm 17 Aug Millard High School Volleyball team boys gym tryouts 7:30 am Aug 17 - 21 Delta High School Volleyball tryouts DHS Gym 8 am Aug 18 Food Handlers class 2:30 pm Delta Public Health Office ($500 fee) Delta North Elementary registration (See article for specific times) Aug 19 class 2:30 pm Food Handlers Fillmore Public Health office ($500 fee) 20 Aug HEAT Public Hearings pm 201 E 500 N Room Conference Richield Aug 25 Deadline for filing for Delta City Council election Aug 31 Clinic Delta Public Immunization Health Office am & pm gram 10 pm Stephanie Babb and Greg Olmstead wedding reception pm Leamington Ward Church August 8 Millard County Farm Bureau Cookout King contest DeseretOasis ward pavillion Millard County Open Horse Show 1st class call 9 am 8 am signup Aug 9 Elder Bill Boardman mission farewell 9 am Hinckley 1st Ward Sister Heidi Nielson mission report Meadow Ward 2:50 pm mission Sister Jenae Speakman report 1:20 pm Fillmore 3rd Ward Elder Shayne Crapo mission 12:00 noon Delta farewell 3rd4th8th Ward 12 Aug Off Vehicle meeting Highway What?

never learned to play yet he finds comfort and peace when he goes out on the range on his four wheeler The farm is a source of pleasure and once a year he goes salmon fishing in Westport Washington And he enjoys and appreciates his three children and fifteen grandchildren Over the years Albert has served his in various church and community ways He was a councilor in the of the Bishopric past President Chamber of Commerce past secretary for the Utah Funeral Directors past member of the Board of the Oasis Seed Company and at one time he was recognized as Young Farmer of the Year Scott father of five likes to ride his motorcycle when he’s not attending a meeting or working He is a member of the Millard County School Board SecretaryTreasurer of the Utah Funeral Directors’ Association Chairman of the MEA Credit Union Board of Directors 1st Councilor of the Delta 2nd Ward Bishopric a member of the Delta Fire Department Chairman of the Blood Committee for the Delta area and Advisor to the Deseret Chapter of the Order of the Arrow “Changes are good” he observed “I enjoy everything I’m involved in” For years the Nickle family has served Millard County with genuine In compassion and professionalism their own words “It is our hope that we may continue to serve you with the same concerned personal attention filled with love and understanding that has been our desire in the past” This group of large nerves which extend from the neck to the shoulders and and muscle supply the sensation arm and strength to the shoulder hands In severe injuries the nerves are completely pulled off or avulsed This will result in a permanent paralysis of the arm Fortunately most burners are very brief and the pain and tingling are seconds) Repeated injury may result in a prolonged weakness of the muscles of the arm and hand Sensation shoulder may also be either decreased or perceived as pins and needles The frequency of this injury may vary however in one reported series players experienced a burner during most footone season Unfortunately ball players wrongfully assume that such a common injury lacks significant risks Any injury with sudden neck pain with radiation into the shoulder arm or hand should be evaluated by a physician The symptoms of a “burner” and an acute spinal injury can be similar Ruptured discs in the neck commonly mimic those symptoms of a burner Allowing the athlete to continue play- ing football after sustaining a burner is reasonable To allow an athlete with a ruptured disc to return to football without treatment invites permanent paralysis Once the physician has made a the athlete diagnosis of a burner should undergo a strengthening program for the neck and shoulder muscles The use of a high neck collar and 95 95 LaRue receiving a degree in accounting In San Francisco he worked for an accounting firm for one year then for a comptroller company During that time he received his Certified Public Accountants certificate According to Albert Scott always said that he would return to Delta when his children were old enough to enter school So return he did in 1975 and he joined his father in business making a third generation of Nickles to serve his hometown Scott left a good paying job when he realized that he didn’t enjoy the impersonal atmosphere he experienced in In Delta he found that the California concerns for people were different and is a willingness to spend time here there show real personal concern “The real pay” he says “is knowing that a family appreciates the way the deceased looks in the casket Being able to do for a family is the greatest pay” In April 1976 work began on the 6000 square foot building located on Center Street that Albert designed On 1977 Nickle Mortuary moved May from the family home where it had been for many years into the new edifice the facility is Although spacious beautiful and better equipped to accomodate LaRue acknowledged by Albert as his right hand helper admits that she misses the involvement she felt with people when the business t was in the family home When one is involved in a profession that can be emotionally draining getting away and replenishing are necessary LaRue says that Albert has Dear John SPORTS MED Football burners— “A Hot Issue” Wed 8 pm TEENAGE CirculationComp Circulation Rita Robinson Wed by Dawn Carder Death is a natural part of the life cycle yet facing the loss of a loved one is a traumatic experience for most people no matter how “tough” they may feel It is therefore comforting to rely on friends and professionals for help and support during the period of grieving Deltans are fortunate to have a combination of the two in the Nickle family who own and operate Nickle Mortuary Both Albert and his son Scott acknowledge that they must grit their teeth to overcome personal pain when someone dies in order to do what they can to help those who turn to them for professional help Because they know most of the people in the area the two have a closeness that allows them to sit down and cry with and offer counsel to families in grief Although traditions may vary from culture to culture a funeral is an acIt is a time when cepted practice friends and community rally round the families helping them to overcome aloneness and to face death as part of the evolutionary process Albert Nickle and his wife LaRue believe strongly a funeral that despite discomfort becomes part of the healing process “Going through the line is the best medicine one can have and the viewing is the first step toward healing It is good to grow through grieving” they maintain A funeral helps people face and accept the finality of death the funeral business Unfortunately has been the target of adverse publicity over the years and all funeral direcbeen tors have lumped together As in any profession there are morticians who are mercenary rather than caring However the Nickles believe that the majority are very sincere in their desires to help others No one is forced to go to the mortuary and some people prefer to personally attend to the deceased Embalming is required by law if burial r does not occur within hours or if a body is transported over state lines The Nickle Mortuary in Delta has thus far spanned three generations of Nickles LN Albert’s father founded the business when he and the family moved here from Meadow in 1931 His path to becoming a mortician was both interesting and circuitous The story began in Orange California around 1913 LN’s father was one of the few automobile owners therefore the young son learned to drive before most men in town The local undertaker owned a hearse but could not drive So whenever there was a death call or a funeral the man employed LN as his driver a service the latter performed for a period of time Around 1915 the Nickle family purchased a farm and moved to Milford Utah LN was not enamored with farming so he took a job selling cars for a garage in Milford He covered Beaver and Millard Counties staying at the John Bushnell Hotel in Meadow whenever he was in the area It was there that he met the woman who was to become his wife in 1918 Luella Bushnell Albert was actually born here for his father was working in the old Sugar Factory In 1924 however LN went to Los Angeles with the intent of entering the UCLA School of Pharmacy He enrolled but discovered that he didn’t have enough money to cover expenses This discovery led him to Delta Mental Health Offices 51 North Center For info call: Sales 8 Legal Billing Riley Wood Julie Ward Goerti Design Fillmore Office Manager Evelyn Mallet Deb & pm Business of the Week Genuine concern and caring for people at Nickle Mortuary 1 The kids of today are different from the kids in my day Their attitude is different their behavior is different and their outlook Is different I’m not sure what their future is since there are so many differences I’ve been hearing a lot about teenage alcohol and drug abuse which emphasizes that these kids really are different It concerns me that the future is In their hands Unfortunate Prophetic Prologue Dear UPP: Since time began the older generation has expressed concern for the younger generation’s competance and ability to handle the future So far it appears their fears have been unfounded Nevertheless the kids of today are different than those of a few years ago A study for the American Council of Life Insurance shows that the life patterns of todays youth will definitely be different than their parents This is the life pattern they see A child today will most likely: Live with both parents for several years Live with his mother after his parents’ divorce Live with his mother and stepfather Live alone for a while when he’s in his early twenties Live with someone of the opposite sex without marrying Get married Get divorced and live alone again Get remarried and live alone once more after the death of his spouse What impact will this have on the future? Who’s to say But I guess I’m optimistic sort of Dear John: I’ve been extremely active in the a community and have coordinated number of activities that have involved a large number of people But some things never change People are generally very reluctant to do anything they don’t have to Nobody seems to care Nobody seems willing to get volved It’s like I’m trying to push a chain I’m getting tired and irritated Resignation Pending Dear RP: Here’s a favorite story of mine: This is a story about four people Everybody Somebody Anybody and Nobody There was a job to do and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it because it was Everybody’s job Everybody thought that Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody and Nobody moved Moral to the story: human nature never changes 90 percent of the work is always done by 10 percent of the people but don’t burn yourself out With the right attitude “Somebody” will get it done Dear John: Seeing myself in the mirror would depress me if I didn’t know I was going to get in shape soon Of course a lot of it has to do with who I’m standing next to Many of my friends are in much worse shape than used to go to the gym but it depressed me watching others my age so I gave it up But I’m going to start again if I can ever find the time Proverbial Procrastinator Dear PP: This is a good example that you don’t have to be an alcoholic to use denial Call it what you will: procrastination minimization rationalization etc To some extent we all suffer from the same thing Dear John: Back in my wilder days of wine women and song I used to complain that I never got what I deserved Now I say “Thank goodness” I never got what I deserved I can see that now but thenweU it was different As a friend of mine in AA said “I ain’t well but I sure am better” I guess that sums it up pretty well Nasently Maturing Dear NM: Maturity does not always come with when perception age especially clouded becomes or by alcohol substance abuse But it does happen sometimes It sounds hke you’re on a roll Keep it up |
