Progress be open Fridays and The Millard County Chronicle Progress office will Ott I No one really needs a flour sifter any more The stores still sell them but I’ll bet they get old on the shelves They are like the old crank ice cream freezer the churn and the bread pans Do you remember what the bread sifter was supposed to sift? do and it makes me sq grateful for good clean flour My parents had a flour bin built It would to their kitchen cupboards hold a hundred pounds of flour When it was close to empty we would get a new supply from the long‘'bemis” seamless sacks that hung on boards in the granary It would be dumped into the bin and we had a good supply to make bread cake or pies or thicken the milk gravy or make a mustard plaster if there was a need We always used the sifter Recipes always used to say "Take a cup of sifted Hour” Now they just say “One cup flour” We have an old rock mill and metate used by earlier inhabitants of this land that was plowed up in one of the fields One day a grandson said "I will grind the wheat on the old mill if you will make a loaf of bread” He washed the rock mill and dried it well and patiently ground enough wheat into Hour sifting and grinding over and over It was hard to wait for the loaf to rise and bake The bread was delicious We sliced it and all the family enjoyed it with butter and honey while it was warm but there was a problem We learned compassion for those who had to grind their flour on a rock mill The bread was gritty like sand had been added Bits of the rock had ground off the mill with the grinding of the wheat Now my grandson and are grafetul for flour that comes from the store ground clean and does not have to be sifted Calendar Community May 22 Delta North of Broadway Delta High gymnasium Cinderella

Letter to the Editor unholy It’s a most unwelcome sound especially at night The gurgling splashing slurping and whooshing washout a noises that can only signify when you’re irrigating These were the sounds that greeted me at about 3:00 am on April 28 as was about to change water from the west to east part of my field A county road borders my field on the north and just north of the road is So a portion of the Abraham Canal at this location which is just to the south of Ekins Dairy Barn are canal Dear Editor: War against the taxpayer was officially declared when the governor began actively fighting against the Property Tax Limitation Initiative With billion politicians seeking just under dollars in new taxes in the next few years we can expect all taxes to skyrocket If our drive to collect 70000 signatures fails the message is dear: taxpayers are not concerned about further tax increases We must not ail if you would like Call to take one of our petitions around and collect 25 your neighborhood signatures so this initiative can appear for the voters on the November ballot Opponents say only businesses will benefit when the truth is that every property owner will benefit if the petition is successful We have about 2 weeks to finish collecting signatures Join our efforts to hold taxes down Call for a petition today Paul Turner Richfield City Councilman & So Utah Coordinator for Property Tax Limitation Kanosh not in Fire District am writing in response to rumors circulating in reference to the joining of towns into the proposed Fire District Kanosh Town does not anticipate joining the fire district now or in the immediate future The Kanosh Town Council has discussed this issue many times at length studying both the pros and the cons thus determining our previously stated decision Kanosh Town Council Memorial Day services to be held Memorial Day Services will be conducted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars on May 26 at the following cemeteries: 9 am Lynndyl 10 am Leamington 11 am Oak City S Christensen Commander Glen Post 2355 Middle America road and my irrigation ditch in close order My 3:00 am lethargy was soon I saw the replaced by concern as washout that was responsible for the grim sounds The irrigation water had washed a tunnel about 5 feet deep from the ditch under the county road into the canal A natural or maybe unnatural bridge of intact county road about 2 had feet thick had not yet caved in just driven my pickup over the bridge had not given which unbelievably away The next problem was how to prevent someone from driving their outI beat it to fit into this trap my feedyard and got some baled straw and a 20 ft pole which I draped with survey 2 flagging The bales were stacked deep on top of the tunnel and the pole laid across them At this point a pickup came barreling down the road and gave no indicawaved it down tion of stopping so with my flashlight The driver was the milker at Ekins Dairy who after hearing my story offered me the use of their phone My next decision was who to call: The National Guard the Marines the Sheriff’s Dept President Reagan the Relief Society the Boy Scouts or the None of these County Commissioners quite seemed to represent the ideal solution It was now about 3:45 am when the answer at whom to call came into focus brighter than the night lights at IPP When someone in Hinckley or nearby has a sticky problem of this sort or most any other sort the sensible thing to do is call Hinckley’s Fire Chief unsalaried public benefactor and for community well being This of course is Howard Western He answered on the second ring “Are you 'awake Howard?” “You bet!” After hearing my story he replied “I’ll be right over” He was there in 10 minutes flashers and placed 4 on my baled straw at the washout At 6:30 called the home of County Road Supervisor Leland ‘Rope’ Roper Mrs Roper answered and advised me thought for 6:30 in (very graciously the morning) that Lee had gone to his farm and would go from there directly Barn ‘Rope’ Road the to County answered the phone at the Road Barn at 6:45 He would cheek the washout as soon as the main crew was on their way to a road project near Kanosh Their workday starts at 7:00 am ‘Rope’ was at the washout by about 8 am By 9 am employees Gayle Nielson Floyd Dutson and Jerry King were there with the right equipment Before noon the road repair was completed After reflecting on the incident marvelled at how efficiently government can but seldom does function Where was all the red tape What about the environmental impact statement the public hearings checking with superiors taking the problem under advisement or the buckpassing etc Ideally a unit of government should be capable of responding immediately to the legitimate needs of it s employers the taxpayers This doesn’t but it’s very happen often enough refreshing to know that there are as in the past some efficient and responsive public employees in our County On a scale of to 10 I'd rate them all at lO'i on this project A bravo for Howard and the County Road guys Wes Peterson Hinckley Encounter in Coos Bay by Bob Thomas met Kati Yamamoto in Coos Bay in the spring of ’83 We worked for about a month We were cutting bait for commerical Fishermen Ten dollars a ton Kati could slice cut and chop up about nine tons of junk fish in an shift A knife was a surgeon’s scalpel in her hands I hacked away those first few days and was averaging about 50 cents an hour After the third or fourth day Kati and were standing by adjoining basins washing away the miasma of our toils "Where are you eating tonight?” she asked “Any place that’s cheap” I answered “Would you like to try my place?" she inquired I told her I’d be delighted She dried her hands and on a piece of brown wrapping paper scribbled directions and then handed them to me with a mild admonition “Seven o’clock Don’t be late” Ore had two hours to kill so I returned to my van finished cleaning up shaved and splashed on an of Brut Then I splurged $4 on a bottle of Napa Valley mediocre burgundy and followed the printed instructions I found Kati's place no trouble It was a small clapboard home on a for lawn There was a walkway leading up to the front porch There was a rocker on one side an hanging swing on the other and the door in between It opened before could knock “I hope you’re hungry” she said “Famished" told her and handed over the bottle of wine “That wasn’t necessary” she said “Neither was your invitation We’re even” liked what could see of her home It was bright and comfortable Lots of chintz and polished wood and pictures from Oriental schools of art The house looked totally “lived in” and yet there was order to it all Kati called and shortly thereafter two met her teenagers entered the room son Daniel 18 and daughter Kimi 16 Handsome children with scrubbed faces And fastidiously polite as only the Oriental can be polite We all sat down to a meal of spaghetti and meatballs and mushroom sauce And there was a salad and bread sticks and all of that followed by ice cream and fresh strawberries Only the bitter green tea told me was in the home of someone who clung to the culture and heritage of the East After the dinner the children went off to do school work or whatever and Kati and did the dishes Then we opend the wine and took it out on the front porch and talked away the rest of the night Kati was Her had come to this country around 1870 He worked in mining camps as a laborer He was a frugal man and shortly had enough money to send for the young lady who would become his wife They settled in San Francisco and later Los Angeles The family grew and it prospered in the landscaping business Kati was not yet born when the She Japanese struck Pearl Harbor entered the world screaming in an old Marine Corps barracks behind Calif in at Camp Pendleton 1944 Her parents were among those in-- I terned after the outbreak of the war She related many more details that night but quickly She was graduated from The City of Angeles High School and then was wed in a marriage Her husband was a fisherman He sailed the warm waters off the Baja rich with schools of tuna and albacore and was frequently gone for months on end They would be married six years before Daniel arrived Nine years into her marriage tragedy struck Yukio Yamamoto died at sea with a ruptured appendix Kati was left alone with no other skills beyond and origami An aunt and uncle in Coos Bay took her and her children in And Kati became a The World’s Best There came a time when I was anxious to get back on the road and I went to pick up my pay thought had built up $100 in back wages The paymaster gave me $180 I argued for a moment and then he showed me 18 signed “chits” worth $10 each That was the You cut a ton of bait and then signed a chit I examined the signatures Ten were obviously mine Eight others in my name resembled the writing on a piece of brown wrapping had seen earlier paper I tried to return $80 to Kati She refused it asking only that “go see America for both of us And send me a postcard now and then” Kati and I are still in touch Daniel is now a junior at San Francisco City College He wants to be a writer Kimi is a freshman at UCLA with a dream of becoming a doctor Kati is still cutting bait Typical family the Yamamotos |
