Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday March 2, 1988 - Page 18 shiny city vehicles: Get out of our way, sissy townies. Were tough and dont take nothin Doris Valle Things are looking up at last. I am only cautiosly optimistic as one beautiful sunshiny day doth not a springtime make. But as I walk, I see only traces of snow left on the local high spots. Orange reds and rusts are asserting themselves on the cliffsides with only a sprinkling of white. The Mud Monster clans are retreating, probably to settle down for the summer on the Clay Hills Crossing Beach. Curious, I scrape the side of my car. Yes, I thought it was blue, but Ive been mud plastered so long I couldnt be sure. I would celebrate and wash my car only I dont dare lest I offend the Weather Gods. They might think I wasnt being properly respectful of their powers and again leave me shivering in a bitter wind, carefully picking my way through a clay quagmire as I walk around the oil wells. Besides, that coat of dried mud is a badge of honor that those of us who have survived down here wear with pride. When we go to town we sneer at from nobody. We lived through the winter in Mex Hat. . . Every day a few more cautious motorists venture onto local highways. Utah Oil and Gas Commissions Jim Thompson from Salt Lake City was out checking the oil fields and John Sanders from San Antonio has been around doing some intensive investigation of local oil activity. Oil man Sanders is interested in settling in this area to improve the health of a young asthmatic son. Retired school teacher Ken Douthitt was here from Kayenta. He came in to buy a Mex Hat History, saying, My wife and I would like to do something like this about our area. The Douthitts are actively promoting a public library in Kayenta. Returning home from St. George a friend and I were responsible for a couple of involuntary local overnight guests, Bryan Davies and his wife from Salt Lake City. We had taken the scenic and very long route through Zion, Capitol Reef, up by way of Loa in Wayne county, down through Hanksville, then Highway 95 to Lake Powell past Hites and Fry Canyon, across Cedar Mesa where waiting for Spring. friend and I became sharply aware of the lack of traffic as we became sharply aware we were close to a critical shortage of gas. It was getting cold and dark so we were delighted to see a Full Services sign pointing to Hites Marina. It is true that they had a gas pump. We saw it. But seemingly, the total population of Hites had departed this world, either temporarily or My Court report February 25, 1988 Arraignment for Alvin Black-horscharged with driving during revocation and escape, continued to March 3. Court set bail at $1,000 and appointed counsel to represent defendant. Trial set for March 25 for Lee H. Christensen, charged with speeding. Defendant did not appear and trial date was set on basis of formal waiver of arraignment and demand for a trial setting submitted by the defendant. Navitt Spottedelk entered a plea of guilty to driving during revocation, financial responsibility, class B misdemeaner, reduced from driving during revocation, a class A misdemeanor. Defendant fined $200 and sentenced to 20 days. Sentence will be suspended upon payment of fine. The matter of Navitt Spotted-elversus the State closed when court received a receipt for balance of defendants fine. Court records showed that Jimmy T. Holly Sr. complied with file courts original order before being served on an order to show cause. Court, therefore, excused the defendants e, k non-appearan- ce and instructed clerk to write a letter to the defendant indicating he must stay in compliance with the courts original order for Advertisement for bids Bridges. The transmission on their car took a dim view of the long upgrade and they were almost totally immobile. remarked that any type of as in vehicular malfunction most be would no gas unfortunate, with no Good Samaritans on tap. We had seen one car stopped on the highway between Hites and Fry Canyon and met another about halfway across the Mesa. Somewhere in the world there were lights and people talked and laughed and drove their cars but not on that lonely forever. At Fry Canyon the Full Services sign was welcome until we saw the Closed for the Winter notice. Fortunately the highway. We shone our lights on the It was almost comforting when a cow strolled out in front of us. Ah. Something alive besides us. Then we rounded a comer on Moki Dugway and headlights were shining in our face and a young man frantically waved man who mans the Fry Canyon gas pump was eating his dinner in his house behind the store. After he got filled up, we got road so that Davies could attempt to turn around without an abrupt descent over the side. After the car came to rest in a ditch against the cliff the couple abandoned their sulky transportation and went down the hill with us to wait until morning and a family rescue team from Salt Lake. My thought for today: He who taketh the long way home would be wise to also take sleeping bags, food, water, a can of gas, and maybe a cask of brandy in case of snakebite.
