Evalyn and I drove to Cedar City Friday to take a load of Lions Club cans and the Southbound lanes of 1-15 were almost bumper to bumper. (This reminds me to thank those who are so supportive of our recycling project, especially thosewho crush the cans. If everyone would take an extra to seconds and tie the handles of the shopping bags before throwing them into the bins, it would surely make the job of putting the cans in the large orange bags much easier!) Ardith Davis had her son, Rodney, spend a night with her recently. Rodney works for the Church as building and grounds inspector and was making his rounds of Church properties in Southern Utah. Tanya Thomas attended the graveside services for Arl.ene Haney at the Hatch Cemetary and reported that Arlene's daughter, Sally, was able to attend in spite of her illness. Arlene's sone-in-Iaw, Wayne Harris (LaDean's husband) and his three children were also present. Tanya spend the rest of the day making 14 pies for Jeff and Lisa Ferong for the new opening of the 'Big 4' cafe which will be re-named 'The Applecrate". Vee Worthcn stopped by to visit with me and give me a couple of news items concerning the death of two former Panguitch residents who will be remembered by many of our older citizens. Wesley(Wes) C. Walton passed away on the 9th of this month at Rupert, Idaho. Wes was the manager of our telephone company when we became part of the Bell System. He and his wife (Nell Cappie Harris) were married here on June 1st, 1929 and they lived here for a number of years. Wess was an active participant in community affairs and was well liked by everyone. He and my Uncle Jed Cooper were good friends and were both charter members of our Lions club. I taught Hunter Safety classes here for 35 years and did not know until now that Wes authored the first Hunter Safety Handbook for the State of Utah. Prior to this time we used the National Rifle Association handbook as our course guide. Max D. Lee, son of Delarma Joy and Rohana Mitchell Lee also passed away on the 25th of this month. Max married Sharlene Duggins on December 28th (my birthday) 1965. Both Max & Sharlene will be remembered by most of our long time residents. (Max was Evalyn's 2nd cousin through her Daly line.) I an sure we will have lots of former residents home for the holiday and I hope I can get to visit with most of them, but I have a hard time getting to peek through the Knothole to see what is happening so if you have something to share with our readers, try to poke it through the Knothole to me!

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ - had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Recognizing a Stroke, a neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and getting to the patient within 3 hours which is tough. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: 1. *Ask the individual to SMILE. 2. *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. 3. *Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e... It is sunny out today) If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-I immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a group of nonmedical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage. |
