Service Corporation Bulletin It is here with the author’s reprinted permission) Flint Dutch Mick and Eore not a foursome you might easily recognize but one who has endeared themselves to the Daryl Wood family of Oak City You see these four are llamas and seem to command a lot of attention but not only from the Woods the community as well throughout Daryl bought the group last April from the Hansen Llama Farm in Bountiful His son shortly thereafter dubbed them as listed above When asked why he purchased the camelids (from the Camel family) he said “They’re appealing to me I saw some on television a few months ago and they just kept coming to my mind so I decided to buy some” three basic objectives: to improve the of state quality and effectiveness to foster interstate comlegislature and to munication and cooperation a strong assure state legislatures cohesive voice in the federal system In his role as a member of NCSL Mr Moody recently attended a convention in Nashville Tennessee

Fillmore was tried in Provo on a change of venue “We had witnesses over the course of the year or so that had scattered virtually all over the United States” Phillips said “We flew witnesses into Provo from (several states) during that trial” The plane has also been useful in vestigations and emergency errands “We’ve been able to move people somewhere in a hurry as we’ve needed to do” Phillips said “It hasn’t seen a tremendous amount of use” he said “We’ve put quite a few hours on it but it isn’t something we use every day It may sit for a couple of weeks and never get started then we’ll hit a period of time when it’ll be in the air several times in a week” The plane has a capacity for six passengers but the back two seats have been removed It’s costly to operate Both engines have been replaced since 1985 Styler said about $25000 has been put into it Fillmore Airport Manager Wally Hancock said it costs about J 100 per hour to fly the plane Sheriffs Deputy Ross Johnson flys it The plane originally cost the federal government about $125000 It's cur Left rent value is estimated at about $50000 Phillips said a smaller more economical plane would cost between $15000 and $25000 In addition to reducing operating costs Phillips said a cheaper slower “observation-typof an aircraft" would get more use There is no timetable set for a deal “We’ve had some good nibbles on it already” Phillips said “If somebody shows up with the money we’ll sell it” Phillips said he has no specific replacement plane in mind “We’ve been looking at some” he said “but we’re just looking right now" The plane is housed at the Fillmore Municipal Airport homing pigeon can fly at a speed of up to 60 miles an hour over a distance of 75 miles A Flint and Mick Not shown: Eore Llamas home on the range in Oak City Daryl says he plans on training the animals to backpack and possibly leasing them out to interested parties The Great Divide Llama Farm breeders and sellers of the animals has this to say about them “At present there are two applications of llamas' talents that are expanding demand for the animals The US Forest Service is using the animals to carry equipment and food for trail maintenance crews The crew members find the llamas well suited for carrying the loads and are appreciative of the animals’ economical size docile disposition and low environmental im pact Sheep ranchers using llamas as companions with their flocks are noting a reduction in losses to coyotes The llamas’ bold inquisitiveness seems to timidate intruding coyotes” Llamas can pack from 25 to 30 percent of their body weight thus most animals can carry pounds as a mature adult weighs between three and four hundred pounds Because of the shape of their cells they have the ability to assimilate more oxygen than most other mammals making them ideally suited to their high Peruvian mountain home from where they originate Daryl says the llamas are very telligent and easy to train The first time he tried to put a halter on Dutch he (the llama) jumped kicked and As soon as he discovered sidestepped he couldn’t get away the llama settled down and started to cooperate Within a few minutes he was following Daryl behind a loose rein Daryl said “Once Dutch was trained the others seemed to understand and I was able to use him to train the rest” If one is on the lookout you may occasionally see Daryl in his Volkswagen bus taking his herd on a joy ride through the valley Daryl further commented “Getting the first one in was a little difficult I had to lift his front legs up and boost him in from the back The next was a little easier By the time I got to the fourth one he They’re jumped up by himself gregarious by nature and like to be together” When the animals are a little older Daryl plans on finding a buyer for their wool Llama wool sells for about $2 per ounce He says this will pay for the feeding and care of the animals Because of their gentle nature llamas make good pets and children are relatively safe around them If you’re curious to see a llama Daryl says “visitors are welcome whenever they would like to come” Utah Press Association hires new executive director anThe
