Show APRIL 27,2006 the oilier 'side of ihr Jciici'- Page 8 T H E GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER J by Earl Roe wearlroe@yahoo.com • 676-2376 I lost my halo two weeks ago and although it is a relief to lose it, there has been a few times I have wished it was still in place. The removal was painful enough and every time the doctor broke one of the bolts loose, it felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer and I wouldn't want to have that experience again. Now the head pain has moved to my neck and shoulders and this pain is constant while the halo only caused pain when I coughed or laughed. (One of Monte's favorite quips was: "It only hurts when I laugh".) Our physical therapist, David Frandsen has been treating me since I came home, but he could not do to much other than try to keep me from becoming a couch'tater' until he received an order from Dr. Smith telling what he wanted done. As soon as David received the order he started to restore my head and neck movements and now has me to where I can sit in a car seat and see all of my rear view mirrors;! can look down without bending from the waist and I can tip my head back far enough to gargle so things are looking up. I am taking this opportunity to express my love and appreciation to all of you who came to visit, sent cards or called on the phone. Evalyn told me of the visitors I had during my 5 days in the hospital and I don't remember any of them except my kid brother who came the day I left for home. Anyway, thanks to all of you for showing the true 'Spirit of Panguitch' which gives me an out from telling of my troubles. I received a surprise letter from Brooks Haycock, son of Helen Haycock, grandson of Scott Haycock (Our City Marshall during my youth) and nephew of Dick Haycock (Class of MO). Many of our readers will remember all or some of these. Brooks was born in Panguitch but he and Helen left when he was a young child and he now lives in Courd'Alene, Idaho, one of the most beautiful areas in our Nation, but he still misses Panguitch and wants to know how he can keep up with what is going on here. I told him (by e-mail) that I understood how he felt and would see what I could do to help him. (Once you get Panguitch in your blood, it is almost impossible to remove it.) There has been a lot of things going on during my four month hiatus. I had to attend our Lions club meeting to catch , up on much of it. When the minutes were read I heard that we had donated $900 to an organization that I had never heard of, I learned thatTammi Bennett was the advisor to a group of students (girls) from Panguitch Middle and High School who made up an organization called the FCCLA (Family Career & Community Leaders of America) and our Lions Club had given them the money to help pay their way to Provo to compete against other schools from St.George all the way to Ogden. FCCLA gives students the opportunity to plan and complete service projects that improve, educate and help their families, communities and /or schools. There were over one thousand students in the competition and the 26 PHS girls who competed came home with 13 Gold, 11 Silver and 1 Bronze. (Medals) Performances like this show that students of PHS are still upholding the standards of it's predecessor (GHS) as the "Biggest Little High School in the State", a n d they and their advisor certainly deserve our congratulations for a job well done! As soon as I got home I called Tammi to get the names of the girls and planned on running them through the Knothole, but time and space will not let me do it this time. From Susanne Hatch by way or her daughter-in-law, Jackie (Sevy) Hatch, I learned that Jackie's parents, Doyle & Edith Sevy recently celebrated their 89th Birthday and 72nd Wedding Anniversary along with Jackie & Carvel celebrating their 54th Wedding Anniversary, and brother and sister-in-law, Bill & Pat Sevy celebrating their 38th year of wedded bliss. Doyle's and Edith's son, Tom, who lives with them was also present to help with all this celebrating. Susanne also had her son, Bruce & wife, Joleen, from Logandale, stop to spend a night a night with her during their trip to Lehi to meet the parents of their future daughter-inlaw. (I hope our readers have as much fun figuring this out as I had in trying to word it!) Dale and Elaine Baldwin recently returned from a trip to the places in Arizona where they served their mission and while they were there one of the investigators they had been working with requested that Dale baptize her, which he did. I'm sure that for Dale this was a highlight of the trip. I am sure that a few of you remember something I started in the County News which I called "Panguitch Connections". This occurred when a resident or former resident of Panguitch met another resident or former resident in a most unlikely place or under very unlikely circumstances. I had several very interesting ones reported before we lost the County News, but I have not received any since so today I am reporting on three recent ones which come close to meeting the criteria. Dan & Rolana Marshall who are here helping Cleo take care of Monte. Not too long ago they moved from Riverton to Spanish Fork and soon learned that their next door neighbor, Susan Rockwood, had lived in Panguitch. She is the daughter of Lavaar Rockwood who taught Seminary here for a couple of years. Some of Merle Stowell's recent visitors were Dr. Greg Gouchnour, his wife, Caitlin and their children who were here to visit friends made while Dr. Gouchnour worked in our hospital. At the present time he is working at a hospital in Ogden and has Mitch Miller working with him. Mitch is the son of Ken and Randy Miller (Panguitch). Merle said Dr. Gouchnour had nothing but praise for Mitch. (If Mitch still has Panguitch in his blood, we may see him working in our hospital before long.) Last Friday I had my grandson, Russell Moore, drive Evalyn and I to Cedar with a load of Lions Club cans. Before returning home we went to Wal-Mart and as we parked, a couple on two big Harley Davidsons parked to the side of us. I thought the man looked familiar and figured that I had probably met him at our Lions Club Hog Rally so as I got out of the truck, I asked him if they were arriving early for our rally this year. He smiled and said, "You don't recognize me do you?". I said I didn't but he looked familiar. (I don't forget faces, only names.) He then told me that he was Don Moser who was our County Sheriff several years ago and was at our last Hog Rally and both he and his wife would be here again this year. (It's a small, small world!)
