Show NOVEMBER 23,2006 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER WILD TURKEY HUNTING APPLICATIONS Applications to hunt wild turkeys in Utah next spring will be available by Nov. 28. Hunters can obtain an application from hunting license agents statewide, Division of Wildlife Resources offices and this Web site. Hunters who have a major credit card can apply on the Web site.

"Applying on the Internet is the easiest and fastest way to get your application in." Hunters who don't have a major credit card must mail their application in. "I'd like to remind hunters that it will take a few days for the application to arrive in the mail," Tutorow says. "I'd encourage them to obtain an application as soon as they're available, and to mail it back as soon as possible." To be entered in the draw for permits, applications must be received through the mail no later than 5 p.m. on Dec. 26, or through the DWR's Web site no later than 11 p.m. on Dec. 26.

Instead I decided this would be a good opportunity to write about something that has been bothering me for years, but before I get into that, I will report a couple of personal happenings. On our way home from Provo last Sunday Evalyn and I decided that since we were not going to get here in time for Church, we would stop and visit some friends who we don't get to see very often. Our first stop was at the Care Center in Richfield to visit Keith and Rosemond Henrie. After our initial greetings, the first thing Keith asked me was,"How is Jay Proctor?" When I told him that Jay is doing well and that 1 see him as he passes our home on his way to the Post Office, he wanted to know if he was still 'ice fishing1.1 mentioned that there was no ice on the lake, but that Jay and George were still fishing and I was sure that they would do some ice fishing and I hoped to join them this Winter. As we left, both he and Rosemond asked that we tell their friends in Panguitch "Hello" for them so I am taking this opportunity to convey their greeting to all of our readers. (They like to have visitors.) We also stopped in Circleville and had a good visit with Freid and Lucile Fullmer. Freid and I hashed over our deer hunting experiences while Lucile and Evalyn made woman talk. town of Dogpatch, Arkansas. (Hilbilly country in which there is now a theme Park known, as "Dogpatch") To give our older readers a chance to exercise their memories of this day, I am going to list the names of the students who portrayed the main characters in our assembly. (High School names) As class president, I was Mayor Hepsibah Scragg; Hezikiah Hawkins (Monte Marshall); Sadie Hawkins (Rena Chidester); Li'll Abner (Lowell Henrie); Daisy May (Julia Boyter); Marrying Sam (Kirk Haycock); Hairless Joe (Art Crosby); Lonesone Polecat (Dent LeFevre); Moonbeam McSwine (Laretta Steele). Following the assembly, the entire student body gathered on Center Street (Highway 89) in front of the High School for the big race which went from there West to Center Street then North to the old showhouse where it ended. If a girl caught her a man during the race he had to take her to the dance that evening. If she did not catch one, she had from the time school let out until sundown to try again (no chasing during school hours). After sundown she could ask any boy who had not been caught to take her to the dance. Marrying Sam lined all the boys up across the street with all of the girls lined up behind them. When he fired the starting gun, the boys took off and a couple of seconds he fired again and die girls ran after them. Townspeople lined the street clear to the showhouse to watch and enjoy the race just like they do on the 24th of July and many of them even came to see the assembly and to the dance. All in all it was quite a day for the entire community. Some of the following classes organized their Saddie Hawkins Day the same way but I believe it came to In November of 1939 our class de- an end during the first year or two of World cided we would like to have a Sadie War II. I would like to see it 'reborn' as a Hawkins Day event so we put together school/community event. (Wishful thinking) the first such event for PHS (GHS). 1 "Darling I am - Growing old We started with an assembly in which Nonsense do - As you are told" we dramatized the whole event with all get Burma Shave! (1939) of the main characters who lived in the The only other news event happened here at home and fora city like Panguitch with it's reputation of having a cold climate, I felt this was newsworthy. Evalyn and I are down to out last 'home grown1 tomato and I picked the last of my swiss chard yesterday so that I could till my garden spot and put my tiller away for he Winter. Now back to my pet peeve by which I am going to take some of our readers on a nostalgic memory trip back to 1939 and give some of our younger readers a history lesson. A couple of weeks ago our PHS Senior Class held the annual "Sadie Hawkins Day" activity. Since our 'Class of 1940' put together the first Sadie Hawkins Day celebration ever held in Panguitch, I have always been interested in seeing how subsequent classes celebrated the event and I am disappointed in what it has become. For example, this year the theme of the dance was Cowboys and Indians. I learned this while visiting with some students in a shop class. When I told them that Sadie Hawkins Day had nothing to do with cowboys and indians they wanted to know who she was so I told them the story of Sadie Hawkins as it was told to all of the readers of the comic section of the Salt Lake Tribune by AI Capp, the cartoonist who gave us "Little(Li'l)Abner" back in the 20's, 30's & 40's. I am not sure when "Li'l Abner" stopped being a part of the comics, but while it was a favorite part of the comic section Mr. Capp related the story of Sadie Hawkins day every year starting in late October and continuing for several weeks and ending in November with the big race in which the girls had a chance to catch a husband. iTRANSMISSIONf&iAUTQMOTIVEt Automatic & Standard Transmission & Clutch Jobs "Specializing In" Electronic Problems Both Engine & Transmission We Service Large Trucks & Motor Homes ASK ABOUT OUR SPECIALS -SMIL HUn, CodtlGtty FAIRWAY 1 DAY SERVICE Independent Mortgage Corporation In Most Cases: Motor Mounts CV Joints & Boots Inspections - Tune tips Quick Lube - Brakes Experts in FHA, VA and Conventional financing. 1st and 2nd Mortgages • Foreclosures • Tax Liens Debt Consolidation • Bankruptcy Home Improvement Loans 1-866-896-0113 60 east 100 north, Suite 3 Richfield, U T "Mortgage Lending Made Easy*' JlAi -3M H.totalSL.ftufliltch- ' Where Trust Is A Tradition r Over 35 Years Experience Page 6 |
