Show Volume II, Issue XVI THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 15 15 August 2000 HUNTSVILLE cont. from page 14 good they did are Dr. Eugene Robinson, who practiced about 1912. “Call Dr. Shields and his little pink pills” was a familiar saying in the 1920’s. Dr. John F. Wikstrom was loved by most of the people who knew him. He had an office where the Soil Conservation Building now stands. His only fault, like Dr. Robinson, was in jeopardizing his own health for the sake of others. Both died at an early age. Depression Years in the Valley In the early 1930’s a severe depression was upon the entire nation. These were difficult times. Work was scarce and prices for products were at an alltime low. School teachers taught for about $600 a year. Wages for most jobs were about twenty-five to thirtyfive cents an hour. Good hay sold for about $4.00 a ton. It was during this time that the C.C.C. (Civil Conservation Corps) camp was established in Huntsville. Its location was on a knoll a mile north of Huntsville and west of Dale Newey’s present home. This site is now covered by Pine View Lake. About three hundred boys from all over the state and nation were brought here to work on roads, do forest service, soil conservation, or other jobs created by the government for needy boys. During this time banks and stores closed their doors. People generally did without except for bare necessities. At that time John A. Newey was hauling milk for Black and Griffin Creamery. He hauled it in milk cans, piled on top of each other in an open truck. It was not unusual, as he stopped to pick up the farmer’s milk, to find a few cents wrapped in a note asking him to buy a certain color spool of thread in Ogden or to go to Penny’s and pick out three yards of material for a dress. Nearly every day citizens asked for a ride to town to look for work. John A. Newey was always good for a favor during those difficult years. HABITAT cont. from page 13 ty. The easement holder is responsible to monitor the easement annually to make sure that conservation values identified under the easement are being protected. A successful conservation easement is one that protects habitat, meets the landowner’s needs and helps a conservation organization accomplish its mission. Responding to strong public support, the 1999 Utah Legislature passed the Quality Growth Act that provides a mechanism and some funding for local initiatives to protect open space, agriculture lands, and wildlife habitat. The Wildlife Lands Project intends to be an active participant in the process of enacting the Quality Growth Act in a way that will bring about continuing and increased public and political support. Now is the time for concerned landowners, conservation organizations and citizens to put aside old prejudices and sit down together to discuss opportunities to enjoy mutual benefits. If you are a landowner concerned about the future of your land, and you believe your land has significant conservation values, please contact the Utah Wildlife Lands Project. If you are a concerned citizen with information about land that my qualify for a conservation easement, of if you know a landowner who is planning for the future of his land and that land provides important wildlife habitat, contact the Utah Wildlife Lands Project. Together we can and will make a difference. Contact Dwight Bunnell, Utah Wildlife Lands Project, at 801254-1960, or 801-541-3127. Please note, The Ogden Valley Land Trust may also help landowners with information on conservation easements. The Ogden Valley Land Trust, under Utah law, is legally qualified to administer conservation easements.
