Show Page 3 The Garfield County Insider January 8, 2009 IN OUR TOWN... OBITUARIES Monte D. Marshall Panguitch, Utah Monte D. Marshall, age 86, passed away January 2, 2009 in Panguitch. He was born July 24, 1922 in Panguitch to W. Earl and Eva Daly Marshall. He married Cleo Tebbs in the Salt Lake Temple on April 28, 1944. Monte grew up in Panguitch and graduated from Garfield High School in 1940. He entered college at the UISB (now ISU) in Pocatello, Idaho. He was on the boxing team and president of the student AISB Pharmaceutical Association. Shortly after graduation he was inducted in the Navy where he served in the Marine base hospital until 1946. He and his wife Cleo, lived in Price for two years where Monte worked as a pharmacist. In 1949 they moved back to Panguitch where Monte went into partnership with his father Earl in the Panguitch Drug Store. Later Monte’s son, Steven went into partnership with him making it a three-generation drugstore. Monte enjoyed working with the public in the drugstore. His quick wit made him many friends with customers and employees. Monte always had a joke for everything and every situation. Monte loved horses. As a jockey he rode racehorses in Phoenix, AZ, Reno, NV, Great Falls, MT and many tracks in Utah. He enjoyed watching his sons and grandsons as jockies. He spent time with his children fishing on Panguitch Lake, hunting deer in Little Valleys, and chasing geese the 15-mile length of Panguitch valley along the Sevier River. Monte’s favorite church callings was being a scoutmaster. He also served as second counselor in the north ward bishopric. He was a member of the Panguitch Fire Department for 20 years, served on the city council and held many positions in the Lion’s Club. Monte loved his wife, Cleo and his five children, attending wrestling matches for his three boys, Monte could easily be heard coaching his sons from the sidelines. Grandchildren were the light of his life. After retiring from the drugstore in 1987 they spent 15 winters in Phoenix where Monte enjoyed training his own racehorses. The family would like thank those who cared for Monte at the Panguitch Care Center, for all they did to care for him help him to feel comfortable and loved.

Explore Escalante jana@exploreescalante.com Escalante 2009 – Wow, another day, another nickel, another chance to get out of a pickle. Oh! Let’s hope there aren’t as many this year. Maybe we should eat for the new year. In Asia they eat Long Noodles – long life; Black-eyed Peas in the South – prosperity; German Cabbage for luck; Italian Lentils – good fortune (they resemble coins); Turkey Pomegranite – abundance and fertility; North American Fish – moving forward (swimming in schools shows abundance). It was nice to take a couple of weeks off, but I’m way behind now. I’ve received several items from folks and I’ll include them over the next few weeks. In no particular order: Welcome Annette Pierce, our interim postmaster. Pat Gonder has ended her career with the US Postal Service after 29 ½ years. We thank her and wish her well. The Cantata was lovely. Not a huge crowd, which was a shame, but the solos by locals were beautiful, and the narrator excellent. We must thank Lenza Wilson for his light train again this year. After 15 years he still brings joy to the cold nights of winter with the hundreds of lights. Unfortunately, the “Pedestrian Slayer” of 1976 decided it was too tired to pull 190 feet of trailers around through the snow. The Tractor and dads pickup did fine. Thank you for your time and creativity. I missed the High School Choir. I didn’t find out about it until the last minute. I’m hoping the school calendar will have more of these events posted and at least two weeks ahead so more people can attend. The Community lights volunteers need to be thanked for their efforts. Alan and Melani Torgersen and family; Chris and Jennifer Christensen and family; Frank Alvey Family; Bob and Mavis Munson; Ty Venuti; Jeff Edminston; Lindsey Phillips; JaDee Stewart; Kobbi Smith; Sage Roundy; Garkane, City Maintenance Crew; and of course Elaine Lott and Emilee Woolsey. Thank You! I have the list of winners from the Diana Steed Fundraiser and I’ll post them in the next column. We lost a leader in the village last month. Theron Mitchell left us just before Christmas. He made a difference in a lot of lives and will be missed. Snow - it’s piled everywhere. Must not complain, we need the water and are grateful for the drink for the flora and fauna. Speaking of drink, expect to see crews and equipment roll into town this coming week. The work on the water lines inside the city begins Jan. 5th. Precision Pipeline of Cedar City will be here for many weeks installing all new lines – long overdue. Until next week 25 PROVERBS for the New Year 1.
