Wade Gale A Hero On the Trail Recentl' Wade Gale, a 1997 graduate of Beaver High School, experienced a history lesson first hand outside the classroom. Wade, his brother Jeremy, sister Collctte and parents Fran and Russell joined the Sesquiccntcunial wagon train in F arson, Wyoming on the Big Sandy River. The family spent a week of reliving the past as a part of the horses, mules, wagons and modern day pioneers on their way to the valley of the Great Salt Lake commemorating the arrival of Brigham Young and the first wagon train Jury 24, 1847. Wade, an outstanding hand with mules, and his older brother Jeremy, a recently returned missionary and equally talented with these unique animals, rode as outriders for a week to assist the pioneer wagon train. The Gale brothers had been several days on the trail before the day of Wad's heroics. The event undoubtedly relived for the quiet young man the type of a challenge that many of our pioneer forefathers outriders experienced many times on the original wagon trains' journey. The day started before the crack of dawn for outrider Wade as a cowbell awakened the wagon train members at 4:30 a.m. Breakfast was gobbled down as the recent BUS Graduate was intent on getting bis mule, Wanda, ready for the trail before the daily 6 a.m. meeting. The wagon master would go over the day's trail challenges before pulling out at 7 a.m. Later in the day die dust from the weary wagons and the hot animals partially distorted the young outrider's view of the train as he was on the alert for a bolting team, lost animals or anyone in need. Gale, along with the other outriders became a little edgy as the wagons lumbered down Swamp Hollow and down into the spring fed waters of the Black Fork River. The crossing wagons sunk to their boxes, but the thirty foot river crossing held no incident for the dozens of wagons that continued their trek toward Fort Bridger. As Wade and his trusty Wanda accompanied the as "train" it lumbered up the soft and treacherous sand bills, leaving the Black Fork crossing behind, he noticed a wagon bogged down in the heavy sand. The wagon was attempting to ascend the sleep incline with smallish mules wilting under the heavy strain, the hot sun, and the weariness of hundreds of miles on the trail. The wagon master and another outrider had already reached the stricken wagon, but their attached ropes and straining mounts could do little to pull the floundering wagon up the sand hill incline. Beaver resident, Gale, and his mount Wanda sensed the urgency of the situation as they quickly roped onto the bogged down team and wagon. Wade and his faithful mule were the pull that made the difference as the mucked wheels lurched out of the sandy mire. The once stricken wagon continued up the hilly summit, on to Fort Bridger and eventually to the valley of the Great Salt Lake arriving Juh 24,1997. And what did the reserved Bl IS Graduate Wade his trail heroics? "Ah. shucks, it was nothing, about say Wanda did all the work!" Answer by: Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension horticulturist After seeing insect damage in our yards and gardens, sometimes our first instinct is to get rid of all the bugs before they multiply and invite their extended families to feast in our yards. It is important to keep in mind, however, that there are plenty of beneficial insects that are actually trying to help control the "bad guys," and we should identify all bugs before we start zapping. Here are a few of the "good guys." Ladybird beetles or ladybugs eat aphids and other small insects and are quite beneficial to gardeners. They are red and black in color and are quite recognizable on sight. The larvae are mostly black with some red markings and are about 38 of an inch long. The larvae are less noticeable because they do not fly and are rather unattractive. The larvae have an even more voracious appetite than adult ladybugs do. They eat up to 400 aphids and other small, soft bodied insects. Praying mantises begin their lives the size of a mosquito, and by summer's end can be almost half a foot long. They prey on many insects including aphids, asparagus beetles, bean beetles, thrips, a variety of w orms, notes, and insect larv ae. They are considered a still hunter, and sit motionless until an unsuspecting insect comes by, then they grab it and eat it. Keepsake Quilting Challenge International contest winners in the Keepsake Quilting Challenge were displayed in the July 25 and 26 quilt show in Beaver. The 30" by 30" articles were made of a medley of six coordinating fabrics purchased through the Keepsake catalogue. Ed tries could be original design, traditional or a combination of both.

The adult gets its wings. The wings have that give them a lacy appearance. Mites can damage trees, shrubs and flowers. However, there are also predacious notes that eat the "bad" mites. g The "good" mites help keep the notes in check, but have to wait for them build up in number before they begin their work. Unfortunately by that time, some plant damage has been done. Mitecide sprays kill the bad mites along with the good, so if we can be patient and tolerate a small amount of damage, the predator mites will usually move in and control the plant eating mites. plant-eatin- Camrjers Ashlev Kinross, Chrystal Holm, Grace Schwab, Monica Wright, Chelsie Hardy, Michelle Beaver Stake Wiseman, Amber Thompson and Natalie Nelson were some of the girls to attend the LDS Lake in the Tushar Campground beginning Tuesday, July 28th and Girls Camp this year Camp was held 1st.
