The next session is slated to start at 3 p.m. on July 21, at Hugo Coffee, 1794 Olympic parkway in Kimball Junction. “We meet and get an idea of what the group is up to,” MacElveen said. “Then we choose a hike that everyone can do.” The hikes change, depending on the needs of the group. If there are a lot of new people, for example, the hikes tend to be on wider trails that give participants space to get to know each other, according to MacElveen. “It’s about being in the midst of the beauty here, and feeling that sense of connection with other people with whom your loss has context,” she said. During the hikes, parents will share experiences and different ways they deal with their losses, she said. “Something as simple as the question ‘Do you have chil- Mail delivery outside of Summit County (Includes a free e-Edition subscription) 1 Year $80 2 Years $138 Home Delivery within Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Wasatch Counties (Includes a free e-Edition subscription) 1 Year $80 2 Years $138 Call us today and ask for Lacy 435.649.9014 The New York Times crossword puzzle “HIDDEN TACTICS” By Jack Reuter Puzzles Edited by Will Shortz Instructions: The center of this puzzle represents a 70-down/55down, in which you can achieve a 122-across by moving the 25-across. 1 ACROSS 1 Cleaning product in a dangerous 2010s viral internet challenge 8 “Home” in a classic song 16 Jack of children’s rhyme 21 “Agreed” 22 Escapes, as molasses 23 Irregularly notched, as a leaf 24 Protein found in hair and hooves 25 See instructions 27 Watson’s creator 28 Pain for a tiler, maybe 30 Yearbook 31 Side represented by 34 Adams and Elgort 35 Doctor’s order 37 Dorothy’s caretaker in “The Wizard of Oz” 40 Irritate 41 Irritable 42 Verify the addition of 43 Nabisco product with an exclamation point in its name 49 That guy’s 50 Ill repute, to a Brit 52 Santa ____ winds 55 Some ovations 60 Become attentive 61 Succeeds 65 Cowboy flick 66 Eve’s counterpart 67 What a plant may exude 69 Freak out 71 Treasure 72 When doubled, a Thor Heyerdahl book 73 Mother ____ 74 [Grumble, grumble] 75 Pith holders 76 Set aside for now 78 Score elements: Abbr. 79 Digital message 80 Old gold coin 81 Map of Hawaii or Alaska, often 82 1974 Gould/Sutherland C.I.A. spoof 83 Lushes 84 Deteriorate with age 86 Cut into bits 88 Prevents, legally 89 Letters near an X-ray machine 90 People native to Tennessee and the Carolinas 92 “While I have you …,” in a text 95 Classic 1922 film subtitled “A Symphony of Horror” 98 Brown-headed nest appropriator 104 “Fighting” college team 107 Maker of pens and lighters 108 Sheer fabric 109 First commercial film shown in stereophonic sound 111 Key of Bizet’s first symphony 116 Side represented by O 117 87 is a common one 118 Conspicuous 121 Yuletide contraction 122 See instructions 125 Arrests 128 Outpost for an osprey 129 No longer needed for questioning 130 Senator Tammy Duckworth or former Senator Max Cleland 27 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 21 22 24 25 28 31 32 38 58 66 71 72 75 76 80 81 104 109 35 105 44 45 46 47 48 61 67 106 20 54 64 69 70 74 77 78 79 82 83 87 88 91 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 108 110 111 117 112 113 114 115 118 124 119 123 128 129 130 131 132 133 39 Biblical high priest 40 The “u” spelling of 50-Across, e.g.: Abbr. 43 Figures in the Sistine Chapel 44 Part of Africa or an orchestra 45 Your signature might be in this 46 Came down hard 47 Terrific 48 Chatter 51 City that hosted the 1974 World’s Fair 53 Rare beneficiaries of royal succession 54 Together 55 See instructions 56 Dating-app distance metric 57 Stat 58 Lush 59 Son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon 61 Enter incorrectly 62 Jawbone of ____ (biblical weapon) 63 How early Beatles songs were recorded 64 Best 66 Suffix on many an infomercial product’s name 68 Self-inflicted ritual death of a samurai 70 See instructions 73 Leash 77 Dulce de ____ (confection) 82 Notice 85 ____ Luis Obispo Author presents story times During the past couple of sessions, Marsted has met families from places like Texas and Ohio. “It’s a great little space that attracts interesting people,” she said.

The counselor knows it sometimes takes time before people are comfortable opening up about their losses. “We just want them to know we are here when they feel it’s time to join,” MacElveen said. Sharing the Journey is also supported by CONNECT Summit County, a nonprofit that raises awareness of mental health issues, MacElveen said. “CONNECT has a mission to address grief within our county in terms of our mental well-being,” she said. “Grief is a natural process, but if it isn’t well tended, it tends to exacerbate into more difficult mental health issues. So the hikes are a mental wellness strategy.” Children’s author Melissa Marsted When: 11 a.m. on Sunday, July 21 Where: L.L.

These strategies can come in handy when an anniversary of a death approaches, she said. “Some families go on trips, because it’s too hard for them to remain in a place where it happened,” she said. “Others share how they support their surviving children over time. One of the questions addressed is, ‘What happens when a younger sibling at the time of a death surpasses his deceased brother’s or sister’s age?’” The idea for the hikes came from MacElveen’s clients. “They approached me and said they needed a way to converse with people who understand the particular challenges of the type of loss they have experienced,” she said. “We talked about different forums, and decided a hiking group that meets once a month would be a great way to connect these people. And if members of the group wanted to meet later at different times, that’s fine.” While the group includes 120 121 126 127 87 One of 24 in un giorno 88 Those: Sp. 90 Banned aerosol propellant, for short 91 Green: Prefix 92 Like some lenses 93 Wrong pipe, so to speak 94 Spends December through March (in) 96 Bit of judo attire 97 One-named singer with the 2014 hit “Chandelier” 99 Indianapolis-to-St. Louis dir. 100 “Phooey!” 101 Ape 102 Calls it quits 103 Boutique stock 105 Barbie’s younger sister 106 Long (for) 108 Part of an M.A. program application 110 Religious sch. 111 Called out 112 Any of the Apennines 113 In ____ (grumpy) 114 War hawk 115 Situation after a leadoff single 118 Ball ____ 119 Big org. in Saturday-afternoon TV 120 “Indiana Jones” setting 123 Half of a 1955 union merger 124 Singer’s syllable 126 They’ll sound sped up at 45 r.p.m. 127 French director Besson I saw a painting Cait did of three flying cranes, and I thought of me and my two sons...” Melissa Marsted, Park City-based author Marsted’s journey to “The Secret Life of Phil” started in 2016, when she published “Buzzy and the Red Rock Canyons” to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. The book focused on Buzzy the Bee’s trip to Utah’s Big Five — Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion national parks. Since then, Marsted has continued her series with “Casey Cruises California,” where a California quail visits the West Coast’s national parks, and “Tiny’s Grand Adventure” that explores the American Southwest with a black-chinned hummingbird. “After the first two books, I decided to put deeper messages that went beyond the animals’ journeys to national parks,” Marsted said. “I wanted to teach about what it means to be an endangered species.” While the first three books used birds as the main characters, Marsted stirred things up with Phil the Ferret. “I had done a lot of research, and the idea of a ferret just felt right,” she said. The ferret also helped Marsted connect with Irwin, the book’s illustrator. “Cait, it so happens, had a ferret for a pet when she was a child,” Marsted said. Marsted discovered Irwin, a mural artist and owner of Irwin Artworks, during a four-day road trip to South Dakota. She stopped a Custer State Park, which has an artist-in-residence program. “I saw a painting Cait did of three flying cranes, and I thought of me and my two sons,” Marsted said. “I bought right then, and found Cait on Instagram.” After a few messages, Marsted asked Irwin to illustrate “The Secret Life of Phil.” “She and I worked well together, even though we haven’t met face to face,” Marsted said with a laugh. “We did it all through Instagram messages and emails, and she works really quickly.” |
