Show Friday, November 10, 1995 Changing Native American" jM Senior Citizens by Louise Wallace We sprat Wednesday morning enjoying the nice warm fire and comparing notes on how many little spooks had called on us last night It wasn't a nipe night, weatherwise to ride my broom so I stayed home. I have to hand it to the gutsy kids (and their mothers) fen- hitting the Trick or Treat trail, and I'm glad it was more treats than tricks though and also glad I bought the kind of candy that I like 'cause it will most likely last until Christmas. President Delia Griffith and Vice President Grant Geary were busy greeting us. Some of our members must have flown south and we didn't have a single visitor but we still had a very good attendance. We were sorry to hear that C.B. Copley is under the weather with pneumonia. Glad he has his son. - John to watch over him so he can be at home. Owen Trujillo hasn't been feeling well enough to come out and his mother, Cleora, feels like she has to stay close to her little boy so we hive missed both of them. Mae Hopkin is still in the hospital. Hope she got our get well wishes. The ladies working in the quilting department had to be extra careful this week. They aren't used to such sharp scissors, or should I say shears. Thanks to the services of Chauncey France, they do have an edge like they haven't seen in ages. A cut from them will draw lots more blood than a needle puncture. Delia conducted the meetings. Prayers were given by Donald Judd and Shirley Phelps. Grant Geary gave' a report on the activities involved in securing a grant for South Summit Senior Citizens by Rosemary Atkinson Monday morning: We are together again for a day of fun and games. Some are dressed in costumes and some not. On days like this, we know for certain that the squirrels didn't get all the nuts: Duane conducted the meeting and welcomed all. The prayer and blessing was given by Harold R. We are celebrating the birthday of Elaine Pad field. The ones in costumes paraded around the room and some prizes were give. Mollie Oliver won first as a golden girl. I also won a prize. Our menu was baked ham, potatoes and gravy, tossed salad, hot rolls, applesauce, celery and carrot plate, ur drink and, for desert, ice cream and birthday cake. Just when we avert finishing our meal, the doorl opened and two lovely ladies cime strutting in. They paused then, turned and guess what - they mooned us. There were no backs in the skirts and they had fake rear ends. We all cracked up at this. They were Kelly Strange and .Twyla Buttell. It was fun, thanks, kids. We were presented with a program by Marcene Littledyke and her daughter, Mellissa. Marcene played the piano and Mellissa sang some songs. It was great. Thanks. Duane announced we would meet at the Center about 7 p.m. and go by bus to Woodland to enjoy "Gail's and Star's Pumpkin Patch". We sang happy birthday to Elaine and wished her many more. Such a sweet lady. There were 49 meals served today. Silly sign in a fish factory -Many are cod, but few are frozen. Thursday: Another beautiful day and it makes one proud to see our flag waving in the breeze. Gordon met us and shook our hand in welcome. He informed us that our good friend, Pat Elliot, was being operated on and our prayers and best wishes to her. Also plans were in the makings for our election for board members. The people from the HEAT program will be with us on Monday. Bring your proper papers. Gordon reported he had bran to a budget meeting. May Lewis was excused as she had a doctor's appointment and Betty Jones was excused too as she takes May to her appointments. It's great to have good friends. The prayer and blessing was given by Mona Prescott. Our menu was chicken fried steak, potatoes and gravy, salad, warm bread and butter and jam and, for dessert, cake, and drink of our choice. Fifty two meals were served today. That's for the ones present and some takeouts. On Nov. 2, a baby girl was bom lo'Rahdy and Heather Street. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 5 ozs. and was 19 inches long. She arrived at the Wasatch County Hospital at 1:40. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Street, from Heber City; Shirley Jenson, from Magna, and Edna Atkinson, of Oakley. is Edna Atkinson, and here the plot thickens and because Edna really is the grandmother and greatgrandmother. The baby will be given the name Alexis Ann Street putting siding on the building and redoing the kitchen. We hope to qualify for a grant to enable us to accomplish these things. Lynn Anderson announced that we have some volunteer entertainment coming next week and it sounds like it will be well worth our time to be here. Woodrow Nielson has spent quite a bit of time on his knees this week. No, he wasn't praying for us. He was repairing the carpet where it had frayed and had become a potential accident about to happen. It may not look as spiffy as we would like but it surely is much safer and we thank him. He also attended a meeting Wednesday evening with the county commissioners. He brings back the report that the budget for 1996 is bound to be cut If we have been watching the news or reading the papers I doubt that we are surprised. Even so, we will have to tighten our belts and watch expenses. He brought back some good news, too. The bus now has a garage for the winter, thanks to the county commissioners. Meals were served to 69 this week and we had birthday cake and ice cream on Friday to celebrate the November birthdays for kids over 65. We ended the week listening to the band members as they practiced. hey didn't sound quite as good as they usually do because they haven't been able to have regular practice sessions for a while. Plans to remedy that situation are being made so they should be back in fine form real soon. If you don't like what you cook at home, try coming to the Center and see how much better you will feel. No use to sit at home and stew. My friend, Lois Lcurgans, says. "I can remember when a pot of soup or a kettle of slew was welcome at our house when the weather turned cold and crisp like it is these days but lately: The stew I make with beef and such, no one cares for very much. And thus, without a doubt, I now have something to stew about." We'll be looking for you next week. As many Native American traditions become "intertribal," tribal members may question the authenticity or appropriateness of certain customs and ceremonies. This discussion explores concerns that arise with the melding of different Native American cultures, and examines Native people's searches for identity in the 21st Century.
