Show Page Four - The Springville Herald - January 8, 2004 Q00(( T6VI6V! From the DUP Museum Wooden ox-yolk by Mary Murray LeBeau A wooden ox-yolk came to our collection at the Daughters Daug-hters of Utah Pioneers Museum Muse-um in Springville from the hands of Celesta B. Whit-more. Whit-more. She was the second wife of Franklin Perry Whit-more Whit-more and it was felt that he had owned this yolk from about 1870. He married Celesta in 1875. He was born in Tennessee and had been in Utah for at least 17 years as his son, Joseph, was born here in 1863. It is possible that this yolk is older than Celesta felt it was. However, it is somewhat some-what lighter than most of those used to pull the heavy wagons that were made to carry about 2,000 pounds of freight. We are sure that this yolk was used by a pair of oxen named "Speck" and "Bun" as they served the Whitmore family. Most of the pioneers who traveled West before the completion of the railroad was completed in 1869 came behind oxen wearing a yolk very much like the one we have in our museum. It rests on the floor and I was able to look at it up close and personal. per-sonal. It was more meaningful meaning-ful and real than I had expected ex-pected it to be. I had seen pictures and even looked at a few through the glass of various displays set up to honor some of the Tips on reaching a healthy weight If you've decided it's time to lose some of those excess pounds, you've made a good decision, according to information infor-mation from the American Heart Association. "Admittedly, it's not easy," says Jeffrey Anderson, Ander-son, M.D., President of the American Heart Association, Utah Division. "But it is possible for many of us to reach and maintain a more healthy weight; and it's worth the effort because being significantly overweight over-weight can contribute to heart disease." Dr. Anderson says that to win at weight loss requires developing and maintaining a healthful diet and an active lifestyle. It also helps to have family or friends to support your effort. In effect, managing manag-ing your weight requires you to be smart for your heart in three strategic ways: 1. Kick those bad habits-Are habits-Are you eating foods high in fatespecially saturated fat? If so, drop them. They add even more calories to your overall diet. Furthermore, most foods high in saturated fat can raise the level of cholesterol in your blood, m 01 Prides 1ST " ' " 45S wwmffMtPraju&fcioN NOV PLAYING EXCLUSIVE RUN " fcv..K9 J settlers of our vast western states. Sitting on the floor beside this historic bit of wood I felt close to the settlers set-tlers who first came into this area. Oxen and mules could work on the poor quality food found along large sections sec-tions of the trail. Oxen could be purchased in St. Louis for about $55 to $65 per pair and mules were always over $100 each at a time when the sturdy wagons were selling for about $110. Price alone would have made the ox teams attractive to those who had to bring all things needed for survival in their wagons. Horses were rarely used for pulling but most of the settlers had one or more for riding. When Olive Stone of Provo wrote the story of Sarah Gordon Guy man, who is the wife of Thomas Guy-man Guy-man and one of the pioneers who came in the Aaron Johnson company in 1850, she noted that the members of this train used six oxen, but for farm chores two were the usual number. A partial list of the Johnson train is available in the LDS historical histori-cal department archives in Salt Lake City. When you come to our museum be sure to' look at the ox shoes we have in our display case. They are somewhat some-what different than most people expect them to be. which can increase your risk for heart disease. 2. Develop an eating plan-Most women can lose an average of one to two pounds a week by consuming 1,200-1,500 calories a day. Men can lost this amount on 1,500-1,800 calories a day. One to two pounds a week is the ideal rate of weight loss. Talk to your doctor, a registered dietitian or licensed li-censed nutritionist about the ideal diet. To get all the nutrients your body needs, carefully follow the plan you select. Here are some other helpful hints: - Plan the kinds of foods you'll eat and the number of meals and snacks to have. - Don't skip whole categories cate-gories of food. - Vary your diet by eating different foods within each group. Eating a variety of foods is essential to getting all the nutrients you need. - Try to enjoy your food with less salt. Season foods with herbs and spices, instead in-stead of salt, read food labels to help track your, recommended recom-mended sodium intake (2,400 milligrams per day), and limit consumption of salty ONE OF THE MOST RICHLY REWARDING coMtnirs cm inns' Wade Major, Box Office Mogazine "SPLENDIDLY CHARMING" tj Stolt feundat.

Excd CARMIKE WYNNSONG 12 4925 NORTH EDGEWOOD DRIVE 764-0009 Prejudice latter-day tomcdy by Ellen "Touches the Sky" is not a highly suspenseful or riveting rivet-ing novel, though a few portions are intense. It is mostly a quiet story that you can read comfortably and put down a time or two before finishing it. James Calvin Schapp is a good storyteller, and in this novel he seems to be telling someone who really wants to know. The novel is set in the 1890's in the Dakota Territory. Territo-ry. It is a time when Indians are still feared and Indians are still very much afraid. There is high incertitude incerti-tude between them and the whites. It is that era when people from the same countries coun-tries are settling communities; communi-ties; such as in one area there are perhaps many from Germany and another they are mostly from Holland or from Sweden. Language barriers are a problem and there is much distrust and misunderstanding because of it. Jan, the main character, has lived there for just a few years. He is originally from Holland but becoming Americanized Amer-icanized and he is very concerned con-cerned about the welfare of others, including the Native American. Jan's new wife, an American, teaches on the reservation, speaks the language lan-guage of the Sioux and has developed very close relationships rela-tionships with the tribal people. When a Dutch hired hand is killed, accusations fly and suspicions run rampant. The already tense atmosphere becomes more highly charged as the Lakotas begin their enigmatic and fiery Ghost Dances. The cavalry arrives in huge numbers to help settle the rising tensions and fears. Religion plays a large part in the culture of the area and contributes to the many frictions that separate people from one another, as their beliefs are as varied as their language and accents. The story stresses historical histori-cal accuracy, but there is no confirmation. Sitting Bull plays a pivotal role in the story and the Battle of Wounded Woun-ded Knee is described in a way most people have never heard. It isn't until the last chapter chap-ter or two that the reader learns why this story is really being told and who Jan is telling it to. Suddenly all the twists and turns and the background makes sense. foods. 3. Engage in physical activityTo manage your weight, you must use more calories (energy) than you consume.
