Show HAPPENINGS PAGE A4 MAY 25, 2012 SUMMIT COUNTY NEWS Cedar Hallow clean up by the Friends of the Western Uintas On Sat. May 19, a few of the members from The Friends of the Western Uintas Lynn and Bobbie Williams, Diane Bedell and LeRoy Bates met at Cedar Hallow campground for their first group work day. Picking up trash and debris in the area and cleaning trash out of fire pits filled seven large construction bags and filled a three horse trailer three feet high with things such as water bottles, beer and soda cans, plastic containers of all sizes, carpets, dumped tree limbs, bales of straw, cardboard for targets, shot gun casings, bullet brass and broken clay pigeons, discarded tissue paper etc. While they were there, a group of people showed up with a television (approximately 40 to 42 inch wide) to use as target practice. They put the television back in their truck and left after a discussion with them explaining we had just cleaned the area up and this was unacceptable and if they didn't remove it we would be forced to call law enforcement. What ever happened to" LEAVE NO TRACE"? And when did our beautiful forest become the local garbage dump. If you take it in, please take it out, if you put up a target please take it out and pick up you shell casings. Please be responsible for your actions. The forest belongs to all of us and we need to work together to protect it. If we don't our children and all the generations after them will not have a beautiful forest to enjoy like we do. Just Stuff by Jan Memorial Day was always a special day for my grandmother. She took special care in making sure the flower baskets and floral sprays were arranged just right. But for grandma, "Decoration Day" was more than flowers and flags and decorating graves. It was a time to visit and socialize and reminisce about loved ones who are gone but not forgotten. It wasn't just a quick trip up to the cemetery to put flow- ers on the graves of the dearly departed. No, everyone was at the cemetery on Decoration Day and it was a major event. Ladies donned their Sunday best. Men wore slacks and maybe even a tie. There might even have been a program on the bandstand at the cemetery. But Memorial Day isn't quite the same as it was in grandma's day. Decorating graves is viewed as an activity for a much older generation, or as an obligation performed for a parent or grandparent who isn't able to "put out the flowers" like they used to. We of the "younger generations," the teenagers of the 70s, 80s and 90s and the youth of the 21st Century, have a different view of Memorial Day. For starters, it isn't just "Memorial Day;" it's Memorial Day Weekend! And on Memorial Day, there are very few of those born post early 60s found sauntering around the cemetery placing posies on Aunt Martha's headstone or reminiscing about by-gone days over great-grandpa's grave. For many, Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer. Granted, summer doesn't officially start for another month, but, Mother Nature permitting, Memorial Day weekend is the first long weekend since the wishy washy inter-wooly weather of President's Day. It's time to dig out the swim suits and shorts, the tank tops and sandals; a time to pull out the bikes, launch the boat, head for the hills. It's a time for families. For some it marks the first camp trip of the season. Many folks are found basking on the beaches at Lake Powell, wetting a line at Flaming Gorge, hiking the trails at Arches, or hitting the back nine, while others find it a perfect time to get a jump on the summer yard work. Perhaps it's a picnic in the park, a drive up the canyon, a barbecue in the back yard. Maybe it's a trip down to Zion's, a hike up to Bull's Head, or a trip to the zoo. But just because things have changed, it's not to say that the graves don't get decorated, or that the "younger generations" don't respect the dead, or don't miss their loved ones who have died. Such is certainly not the case. But Memorial Day at the cemetery isn't the social event that it used to be; it isn't the reminiscing and sharing of stories that it once was. Now, Memorial Day is a time not only to share memories of long ago, but to make new ones as well. Whether it finds you at the cemetery decorating graves, spending time with the kids, or working in your yard, I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
