Show AUGUST 24,2006 It is really quiet on the other side of the fence this Sunday and is also peaceful on my side; however," I had a visitor come to visit me and make this Sunday a very enjoyable day. Can you imagine a person who had never been to Panguitch and had never been away from their home town (city) during their entire life coming to Panguitch and come to see me? Well Samantha Mia did and made my day. Of course being only eight days old she was in he arms of her mother and accompanied by her father. Steven (Lavenda's son) and Jillyn Moore decided that it was time Samantha's great grandfather and great grandmother saw their newest great grandchild since they were about the only members of the family who had not been able to get to St. George to see her. I was always one to state the facts as they are so I'll tell you she is a beautiful baby with lots of black hair and a quiet, gentle disposition, (just like me?) It's l?een a long time since I held a baby that young and I surely enjoyed it. This will become a regular part of the derby from now on due to the response of the spectators. The Demolition Derby seems to be the correct way to end the festivities of the fair because watching it wears everyone out and they are ready to go home for some restful peace and quiet. (A bit of a Panguitch Connection.) When Evalyn and I decided to go to Provo to attend her sisters 80th Birthday Party, I told my neighbor, Sterling Jackson, that I was going to try to find a few good northern tomatoes and he told me that a friend of ours from long ago, Thelma Gobbels, was known as the tomato lady of Mapleton and she would probably have tomatoes. We called her from our motel before leaving for home and I think she was really shocked at hearing from us after all these years, but said that she would have tomatoes for us if we stopped by. When we finally found her house, there was two boxes of tomatoes setting in the driveway which she had picked for someone the day before and they did not come to get them so she gave them to us as a friend to friend gift. We visited about our times together when they lived in Panguitch and Escalante and she told us that she and her sister and two sons planted 1000 tomato plants and they were just coming on so if anyone is going North and wants to buy tomatoes, I can tell you where to get them. According to everyone I talked to, our 2006 Garfield County Fair was one of the best fairs we have ever had with lots of entries, events, entertainment, games, food, and visitors. I'm sure it we would astound our early settlers to see what is produced in Garfield County today and especially in Panguitch with it's reputation of being so cold that a cup of hot water thrown into the air freezes so . quickly the ice is still warm. The entries from the young 4-H participants abounded with blue and purple ribbons and along with the money they received, should encourage them to plan to do more and better next year. (My grandson, Wyatt Moore, earned $44 with his entries.) The smashing, bang up, cheer raising Demolition Derby was a crowd pleasing event and was viewed by a sell-out number of fans. The car which was raffled off by the Lions Club was won by William Ford (Richfield) who drove it in the derby and won $ 100 in the final Wipe-out event. (I was told he bought $100 worth of tickets.) Lion President, Phil Norton, told me that my daughter, Deanna Moore, did an excellent job of announcing the action and telling who was doing what to who. He said he offered her a life time contract. As an added attraction this year a Motocross event was added to the derby this year with 10 dirt bikes, two 4 wheelers, and 2 "pee-wee** bikes participating. Thelma's husband, Keith Gobbels (deceased) was the Project Foreman for Tolboe's Construction Company when they built the Escalante and Panguitch Elementary Schools back in the early 50's and my father and I worked on both of them. My dad and I were both born in Escalante so when Evalyn and our two sons came over for the Summer (we rented a home) nearly everyone in Escalante wanted to give Evalyn fruit to bottle. We ate apricots and drank apricot juice for a long time after we came home to work on our school. Evalyn was in the Primary Presidency at the time and Thelma taught a Primary class while they lived here and Keith and I did a lot of fishing so we all became very good friends. Now you can understand why she might have been shocked to get a phone call from me after all these years. Ardith Pavis has had two of her daughters, Karen and Michele and a grand daughter visiting with her for several days. At the present time they are in Orem visiting their father, Jim Davis, and their brothers and will come back to Panguitch before returning to their homes in Nevada and California. They had told the granddaughter that "Uncle Earl" had been in a wreck and broke his neck so she insisted that they bring her to see me immediately so that she could see if I was alright. As soon as she saw me she ran and gave me a hug (around the knees) by Earl Roe wearlroe@yahoo.com • 676-2376 Page 4 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER then stepped back and looked at me then gave me another hug (same place) then walked around me and gave another hug and kept doing the same thing. I got more hugs in a short period of time than I had ever had at any time in my life, even during my courting days with Evalyn.

' '•/•'•--••-• ••' • •- Call 678-2621 Second West Nile Virus Death Reported in Utah County Utah County and state health officials reported a second death today from severe complications caused by West Nile virus (WNV). This second victim was also over 65 and passed away at a local hospital this past weekend. The WNV infection caused a progressive inflamation of the brain which was fatal. "The majority of WNV cases in Utah County last year were from communities in the south end of the valley," said Dr. Joseph Miner, director for the Utah County Health Department. "However the 18 cases this year have come from all over the county. This individual resided in the middle of the county." "Although the risk of death from West Nile virus is higher in senior citizens, we have seen the serious encephalitis and meningitis symptoms in all age groups," said Miner. ''With airplane spraying and ground fogging in neighborhoods, our mosquito abatement staff have been keeping the mosquito population well below last year's levels. However, the percentage of mosquitos testing positive for the infection is significantly higher than last year. Miner emphasized that individuals need to protect themselves and their families. Protective measures include: • Use mosquito repellents with DEET from dusk through dawn when mosquitoes are most active. • Cover up by wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes and socks. • Eliminate standing water in yards as these may serve as mosquito breeding sites. Change the water in birdbaths at least weekly, and treat ornamental ponds. Miner, describes the symptoms of WNV as having a severe case of the flu. Fever, nausea, headache, and body ache are all common. "As this isn't flu season, you should check with your doctor if you are experiencing these symptoms. Although mete is no cure for West Nile, supportive care ean help." • • .* • ' |
