Two men, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day, were led down to the room in which they would meet their maker. The priest had given them last rites, the formal speech had been given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants. The Warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, “Son, do you have a last request?” To which the man replied, “Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play The Macarena for me one last time?” “Certainly,” replied the warden. He turned to the other man and asked, “Well, what about you, son? What is your final request?” “Please,” said the condemned man, “kill me first.” grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren with 2 on the way. Teaching and working with the 4-H youth was one of the things that brought joy to Dolores. In 1968, she organized the 4-H Horsemanship Project in Washington county and worked in the county supervising the horse program for many years. She spent hundreds of hours chaperoning youth to county, state and national activities. She helped many youth in the county achieve state and national honors. Dolores worked for Milne Truck Line for 20 years, managing the office for most of those 20 years. Throughout her life, Dolores has held many church positions. She organized the Cub Scout program in the St. George East Stake. Dolores has been very active in Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. She has served as museum director and President of the Washington Company. She now serves as the regional representative on the International Board of Daughters of Utah Pioneer, supervising the five southwest Utah counties. She is fiercely proud of her pioneer heritage and her ties to the red dirt of “Dixie” and is devoted to preserving the history of St. George. She has been involved in many civic groups that promote the preservation of its history and loves to talk about family and history. Happy Birthday, Mother & Grandma! As the family gathered for a big dinner together, the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter’s office. There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle this new situation. “Oh, come on, quit joking,” snickered one. “You didn’t really do that, did you?” “You would never get througbasic training,” scoffed another. The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was just gazing at him. When she finally spoke, she simply asked, “Do you really plan to make your own bed every morning?” Astronomers Declare February No Longer a Month Emboldened by their success in declaring Pluto not a planet, the International Astronomical Union determined this week by a close vote that February is too short to be considered a true month. It has, however, been granted the newlycreated status of “dwarf month.” It shares this dubious distinction with several other calendar time spans, including Labor Day Weekend, Christmas Vaca- tion, and the Time Between When You Were Supposed to Get Your Oil Changed and When You Actually Did. “It only seems fair,” said IAU President Ron Eckers. “February reaches a peak size of 29 days, averaging only 28 days for 75 percent of the time. Recent research has shown that other periods, such as the Time Between When You Were Supposed to Get Your Oil Changed and When You Actually Did, often exceed this meager time frame. In fact, this erratic behavior only strengthens our case that February does not belong in the same classification as the eleven ‘true’ months.” Eckers also warned that the crop of 30-day “socalled” months should be careful to maintain their number of days. “They’re already cutting it pretty close in my book.” that bothered her. One day she took a red magic marker--the permanent ink kind-and painted a flower on the back side of it. She assurred herself it wouldn’t rub off on people’s clothes and then went about painting all the rust flowers. The affect was just what she hoped. Now it didn’t scream at her when she went in the room. Her husband finally mentioned one day how much he liked the couch he picked out. She let him be happy but eventually told him what she had done. Now is that smart or what? Another time she used magic markers to make a trim in a bedroom blend with what she had in the rest of the room. So. I just thought I’d pass on this hint about magic markers. I haven’t come up with an idea of how to get rid of marks from a pink one my granddaughter got on her mother’s bedspread when I was tending her, but maybe if Ardean were still alive, she would tell me what to do. My only suggestion is to keep them out of the reach of a four-year-old. Oh, yes, another thing that might be useful. Ardean maintained that mice like red. For one thing, she told a story about them chewing the red hair off her Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls. I don’t know who would ever want to know this about mice. But for what it’s worth department...... Send suggestions to Veda Hale, Box 956 Panguitch, Utah 84759 or email vedahale@hotmail.com It Makes Sense...By Veda Hale A wonderful woman I knew, Ardean Anderson, from Woodland, Utah used her journals to write a book about her life as a rancher’s wife. Because I knew some of what she wrote, I read all 542 pages of it and thought what a treasure she left her family and others like me. Here are a few ideas I got out of it that fit in this column. (sort of) Magic Marker use: Ardean once bought a couch at her husband’s urging, even though she had a hunch it wouldn’t fit with her new cranberry red carpet. Sure enough it didn’t. Instead of making her husband feel bad because he had liked it so much and talked her into buying it, she decided to try something. It was a floral print with rust flowers. It was the color of the flowers DELORES CELEBRATES 80TH BIRTHDAY Dolores Foremaster Riggs will celebrate her 80th birthday on Sunday April 5, 2009. She is the second child in a family of four born to Lindau and Hortense Foremaster. She grew up in St. George and has lived here basically all of her life.
