Show 5 The SunNews. Wednesday. November 3. 1993 GiitmisonNews Lynnell Fulkerson From everything Ive heard, the hunt was pretty slow this year. Curtis Anderson was growing abuck bread - and he said he wouldnt shave it off til he got one. The last time I saw him, he was clean shaven, soeither he gothis deer or he couldnt stand the itch. My Institute teacher didnt have any luck either, but he passed the blame (or is it passed the buck?) off on the women. It seems weve been hitting too many deer on the highways, and could we please not hit so many this year, so the hunt will be good next year? Normally, his statement would have really ticked me off, but I was filled with guilt, I hit my first deer a week ago. I hear the Sandy, Seth and Kaitlyn Ivie hosted a really nice Halloween Party last week. Several playmates and their moms were invited, and they had a nice time. How many of you forgot to set your clocks back Sunday? One of the my kids was out of bed and showering at 6:00 in the morning. That might not seem like a big deal unless you know that his kid is the one I have to pry out of bed with a crow-ba- r 5 minutes before the bus comes. WE are reminded to also check the batteries on our smoke alarms at the same time we change our clocks. I propose that we also reset our scales back 10 pounds. We couldcall this Holiday Weight Savings. With this system, wed feel so much better about ourselves when we step on the scales after Thanksgiving dinner, or Christmas goodies. And in the spring we could just pretend to set them forward. Well, down at the school carnival. I heard Dennis Avery say something about his mother being in town. There I was, standing 2 feet away, and he didnt even say I could put it in the paper. (Ill let you go this time; you probably didnt recognize me with green black lips and bright yellow Barbie hair.) I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I love to dress up and eat candy out of my kids bags and tease the little who come to my door. Im not complaining, but have you noticed that the only rs 528-708- 3 . , tricks kids play anymore is smashing pumpkins int he street? I think it was Stan Higgins who said he once took a mans wagon apart and put it back together on top of the poor guys roof. Singles from 5 Stakes gathered on S unday for a Fireside to hear Gay Bastian sing. She is very professional and she accompanied herself as she sang. Her program included numbers from several musicals including The King and Oklahoma, The Sound of Music and Carousel. There was even an overflow crowd in the hall - music lovers who werent singles but wanted to hear her wonderful program. Gunnison is fortunate to have I, Gay and her husband Dr. Bevan Bastian and their 3 sweet daughters. The Literary Club met last week and enjoyed a book review of The Twelfth Angel. Verna Christiansen reviewed the book and brought her sister Donna as a guest. The 12 members also enjoyed the company of another visitor, Earline Barnes, from Mayfield. I got a kick out of this quote from a parenting magazine: As a method of discipline, grounding your teenager is a lot like chaining yourself to a bear to punish the bear. Theres a lot of truth there. I just havent figured outany other method to use.... Dear Joel, wont you please well? Its time to let someone get else have turn at the hospital bed! Muzzleloader hunt permits still available Its still not too late to buy a muzzleloader deer tag. Purchase deadlines have been removed this year for the tags. To discourage party hunting hunters purchasing a tag during a hunt must wait 24 hours before going afield. Biggame or combination licenses may be purchased year round. Our sympathy is extended to Lucille Thorpe and her children Lois and Dan, Mary and John, Reg and Jackie and Kes and Koye and all of the grandchildren at the passing of husband, father and grandfather, Cameron (Bud) Thorpe. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Funeral services were held Monday in the Ax tell Ward Chapel with burial in the Axtell Cemetery.

Suzanne and Jim Sanders were in St. George where Jim played in a Soft Ball Tournament last week. On Sunday Jim and Suzanne and family helped Jims dad Kent Sanders celebrate his birthday.
