Wendy McKay and Jodi Richardson | Guest Commentary “Oldies” to be Commended—tThe last of a dying breed The name Tommy Shupe stands out as a stalwart among Ogden Valley ranchers. His family farmed, and also operated the Shupe Trout Farm in Liberty for many ears. Tommy and his wife Sandy, who has helped her husband keep the tradition of family dairying alive in the Valley, are the last of the cow “milkers” as an occupation in the Valley. My deepest respect goes out to both Tommy and Sandy for working so hard for so many years, for your friendliness and honesty, and for your ability to stay in business despite always low milk prices. This occupation once provided the living for about 1/3 of the Valley’s residents. The results of the Shupe’s family farming business is living proof of the character building aspect of the business that cannot be measured in dollars. Few people realize it, but Tommy was instrumental in saving the 160 acre Wolf Creek Park after its illegal sale a few years ago. Thank you Tommy for caring and helping to return this beautiful trail in Wolf Creek to the community for all Valley residents to enjoy. Western hospitality can always be found at the Eden Maverick. If you should drop by during the morning session though, beware of a disgruntled stare from an old rancher for taking his seat. After all, he did bring his own cup, has sat in the same seat at the same time for years, and lived here his entire life, so he may be upset. He will soon get over it though, and the “words of wisdom” will start flowing from years of accumulation from the likes of cowboys Brent Storey and Zach Tanner. Many a story is told, but few can be printed. Many a horse has also been bought and sold at the Maverik. There is no greater compliment to pay a cowboy than to tell him he is a good rancher. Clair Shaw stands out as a true DOE AL are o Lae e ny ) SushNight! a ' cowboy and rancher that can do it all! He and several other cowboys can be found most mornings at the Maverick in Eden where they will start their day of fencing, feeding, branding, or wrangling. Clair Shaw, 75 years young and still going strong, is one of the last nonsmoking true Marlboro men left in the Valley. He feeds hay all winter to his herd of mother cows, then has to calve them out and watch over them all summer like an old mother hen does her brood. If you haven’t been on a Clair Shaw branding or cattle drive, you haven’t lived. Clair will invite anyone wanting a taste of the old West to join him at the annual Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival in Woodruff. (Ask any of the “oldies” in the Valley what Rocky Mountain oysters are!) Thanks Clair for keeping many traditions of the old West alive and well in the Valley. ow, a die-hard rancher at Wolf Creek Ranch has a confession to make. Because of the steady stream of doubledump trucks and cement trucks roaring up and down on our once quiet Wolf Creek Drive/Powder Mountain Road, I have sold the biggest part of our ranch. The traffic just keeps getting worse. It seems developers now only have to ask to get approval to add 100 or more homes to their plans. Whatever happened to the 3-acre minimum zoning? I 4 now hope we can find somewhere to reinvest in a quiet, rural setting that could be called “Old Eden.” I have no personal dislike for any newcomers to the Valley. I just don’t like stacking them in one on top of each other in large developments. Every good horse trader knows when they’ve been out-traded, and the loss of our quiet, rural lifestyle; green pastures; and “no greater place to raise a family” to a few rich developers to help keep Weber County’s coffers overflowing is a mighty poor trade. We did get something back though—rooftops, asphalt, and a steady flow of traffic. Oh well, some call it progress; some call it getting invaded. We know growth is inevitable; some would just like it to slow down. It will probably be hard to swallow someday when we look out the Maverick window while eating lunch and see a red light at the intersection. But it’s possible no one will even notice or care. Just a word of advice, “If you can stay seated at the Maverick when the noisy vacuum cleaner comes on to clean the mats, and the cold air fan kicks in to replace the hot air from over in our corner, you'll be welcomed as one of us—an “oldie.” Kent D.
