Dennis Davis was born in and raised in Pleasant Grove. He recently moved to Alaska. After an accident he relates this fictional story about his injury. I will have been in Alaska for one year. Yep, only us die hard idiots decide to come to Alaska in November and stay the winter. There is just so much to tell about all my adventures since I have been up here. I think I could write a book but I have nigh the time nor talent so I decided to just tell you one of my favorite Alaskan adventures, one I will never forget. It all took place a few months back during the salmon run. The salmon run is such an exci ti ng ti me to not only be here in Alaska but to live in Alaska. Alaskans don't fish for salmon; they harvest salmon for the winter. Kind of like Grandpa Dean Davis and apricots, only these apricots swim up rivers and don't want to be picked. . It was long about mid September and some friends of mine from church invited me to go with them on the red salmon run down on the Chugiak (chevv-gee-a- k) River. Wow, what a beautiful fish the red salmon arc. They are a deep, deep red color with a black head and hooked jaw with a few. black stripes that run horizontally down their body. They average about 7-- pounds a piece and my, my, are they tasty. (I even know guys who will eat them raw right out of the river) So my friends and I went to get a bunch of "Reds" to put up for winter. When we got to the Chugiak we split up and agreed to meet back in a half hour to see if anyone had found a hot spot. I decided to fish around a near-b- y bend in the river that had a nice slow back eddy so I wouldn't have to cast out as much and the fish could not see me around the bend, (a nice trick my dad and Grandpa Davis taught me). There is nothing like being a little lazy when you fish. Well, I cast out and let the river take my line. It didn't snag, so I let it go and go till 1 couldn't sec it anymore. Then it hit! It pulled good and hard. It was my first Alaskan salmon. I was so excited!!! I reeled in and it pulled away. It came back in and away three times, just like I dreamed it would be! Then I saw it. A big beautiful Red leaped out of the Dennis Davis shows of the repair job after his recent accident. water on my line about 35 y ards down. It looked to be about an 8 to 1 0 pounder, which is a good one, and he was plenty mad but I wasn't giv ing up. Then it got real exciting.

On his first Scouting trip with his friend, Cary Secretan, and his seven year old son, Jackson, they spotted a magnificent buck with a nice frame, complete with kickers and splits. Adam was grateful he possessed one of only three archery tags for that particular area. He also felt lucky the other two hunters, who held tags, were his good friends, "General" Jared Bagley and Gary "Doc" 01 sen. They respected the fact that "I was the one who first found the buck." Later that month, he was in the area with Bagley and Olsen. They came onto a buck bedded down in the oak brush. At first he thought it was a different big buck but after comparing video, he could see that it was the same magnificent buck. During the next few Scouting trips the hunter got a feel for where the buck traveled and bedded down. Adam found a place where he could place a "tree stand." He obsessed over at least 20 trees before deciding which was the right one. Tay lor admited he is obsessive and his friends call him "OCD," short for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He does obsess over things he is passionate about. The anxiety he had felt for weeks finally came to an end when morning arrived the first day of the hunt. From his tree stand in the early morning light, he saw a fawn soon followed by a big buck. It was him! He watched the buck browse closer to him and he drew back his bow. The arrow passed through the fleeing buck. There wasn't Adam Taylor shows off his 200-inc- h archery mule deer. The buck is a 9x 9 with a 33 inch spread and green scores 220. a lot of blood to follow and he went back to camp and waited for his hunting companions to return from the morning hunt. After taking his companions back to the spot and trying to track with very little blood, they went back to camp and waited until the next morning. After a long sleepless night, they were able to find the buck within 200 yards of his stand! Taylor felt a little emotional when he approached the buck and saw his head on the ground, his first 200-inc- h archery mule deer. The buck is a 9 x 9 with a 33 inch spread and green scores 220. His obsession was finally complete and he expressed thanks to Redd Ranches, to all his friends and to his wonderful wife and boys.

'The G that was placed on Little Mountain still stands as a tribute to his leadership and vision. David Gourley never lost faith in the future as he served the people of Utah through World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean Conflict and the Cold War. Fie and Dora Louise West were examples of faith, hard work and courage. He learned it from his pioneer ancestors who arrived in Salt Lake with frozen feet after being in the Martin Handcart Company. "Moments" continued from Page 2 I remember getting together at my Grandma Mima's and the smell filled the entire house of amazing Christmas Ecuadorian food," Cristian said. It means something differ-ent for everyone. Yet, it brings families together all across the world. It is a time for celebra tion, a time for remembering, for service, and for uplifting joy. It is a special time of year with traditions. I love this sea-son and I'm grateful for the memories my parents have brought me and for the mean-ing of Christmas they have installed in me!
