Show fi.The Salina Sun. Wednesday. August IB. 1903 Former Redmond residents are doing great at Horseshoes Pericson and Tola Peterson were bom in the vicinity of Redmond, Utah, and attended high school in Salina. Because Pericson was nine years older than Tola, they didnt really get acquainted until he returned from the service. The sight of him in his uniform was just too much for Tola, and she says it was love at first sight. Pericson had served in the Signal Corps of the Army During World War II, stationed in Casa Blanc, Tunis, Italy, France and Belgium. Their family of two sons and two daughters, fifteen grandchildren and two keeps them busy attending important events, and helping wherever needed. Pericson farmed, raised cattle and worked as an equipment operaall to support tor for the county his farm -- - he said. In high school, he excelled in basketball and track and was chosen for second team for his performance on team. his Wards Tola operated a business in their home, selling gifts and craft supplies, as well as doing custom sewing. Later, she was in charge of the fabric department at Christensens in Richfield. She also trained with H & R Block, and did tax returns. During the years Pericson was president of the senior citizens in their area. Tola collected recipes from senior citizens fifty years or older, compiled and published a cook book. The sales from this project netted $2,500 which was used to remodel the senior center. Besides sewing and crafts, Tola loves to paint and write. Shes written poetry, and scripts for programs and plays, and is secretary of their homeowners association in Dixie Downs, where they located after selling their farm in 1992. In 1989 the Peterson took up horseshoe pitching. Tolas children say shes a late bloomer. At first, the grandchildren would - All-Sta- M-M- holler, Get out of the way! Grandmas throwing! Now, they fight to be her partner at family outings. That same year Tola entered the Summer Games and took a Gold in doubles with Dan Thacke. She didnt even know what doubles were at the time. She and Pericson went with Dennis Ohms and a group of pitchers on the first trip to Japan and Hawaii, and had a wonderful time. Pericson s pitching career was interrupted in 1990, to have a knee replacement. Now he is going to have the other knee done. In the meantime hes content to keep score and enjoy the association of the pitching group. Their welcome mat is always out, and to experience one ofTolas homecooked meals is an experience you wont forgeL Pericson has done a beautiful job of landscaping their yard, and their regulation horseshoe court with cement runways at the edge of their back lawn makes it easy to initiate a friendly game of horseshoes. They have introduced many of their families and friends to horseshoe pitching over the last few years, and both agree that the wonderful people they meet while playing the game make all the practice and time it takes worthwhile.

Growing aspens in your yard may seem like an ideal way to bring the mountains to your home, but unless your home is in the mountains, its never quite the same. Thats because these ornamental trees growing in valley yards are out of their environment, according to Sherm Thompson, Utah State University Extension plant pathologist. This may explain why aspens top the list of all the problem tree samples coming through the lab at USU, notes Karen Flint, Extension disease diagnostician. Most of the problems can be attributed to elevation. The aspen grows best above 7,000 feet where temperature and moisture are favorable.
