Show Page 4 The Gunnison Valley Gazette Thursday, July 7, 2011 Tomodachi Tachi I'm Just Saying... by JANIS SAURIC by ANITA LYONS With its highest enrollment yet, the Inouye Creative Arts Camp completed it's fourth year in Gunnison last week. The theme for the camp was, "Tomodachi Tachi," which loosely translated means "friends." Students at the camp worked all week to create things to benefit students in Sendai, the Japanese Provence which was devastated by a Tsunami earlier this year. Head of the camp Mika, oldest daughter of Dwight and Jeannie Inouye, explained that her aunt Ann has a neighbor (Yoko Ludlow) who is originally from Sendai, "She traveled to Japan to help after the earthquake and made contact with schools there for us," explained Mika. "Many of the schools were damaged or destroyed and the children of these schools have lost homes and family members," she said. The Japanese teachers requested photos of American children, a video of American children pronouncing English, and something made by the children. During the camp, the children posed with a favorite prop (to show their personality) for photos to be put into notebooks that will go to the children in Japan. They also vita yons unreason 'a ey azette Happy kids at the Inouye Creative Arts Camp. participated in video interviews and performed songs and chants for the Japanese students to hear English. The crafts they did included designing quilt blocks for cloth banners going to Japan; and making friendship bracelets and candy leis for the children. The English-language video, banners, and gifts will reach 793 children in 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school in Fukushima and Onagawa. The Inouye Arts Camp was organized when grandchildren of Charles and Bessie Inouye decided to do something to give back to the community which helped their refugee grandparents. It also makes for a great family reunion week at the Inouye house. Fayette memories: The Old Town Hall The Town of Fayette is celebrating its Sesquicentennial this year As part of the celebration Fayette residents and past residents have been asked to share some of their memories. The following story from Lorna Bown. Let's dance, but where? This was the dilemma of the early settlers of Fayette, so in the year of 1913 they did something about it and built the Town Hall. Oh, for the memories. I'm sure that if the old hall could have talked, it would have had many stories to share with us before it was torn down. There was a dance held every month and people would come from all the surrounding towns to dance and kick up their heels to the beat of the music. Sheldon Mellor and Lester Hill recall playing basketball there – even without a basketball hoop. The kids would throw the ball up and over the exposed rafters. It was a nice place for wedding receptions and movies. The Hill families have great memories of celebrating their mother and grandmother Sarah Jane Hill's birthday parties there on New Years Day for many years. Farewell parties and dances were held for those who were leaving on their church missions or to serve their country in the armed forces. A hat was always passed and a generous donation was given to those who were leaving. I remember stories I heard about rabbit hunts in the winter. The guys would divide up into two sides and head out to see who could come back with the most Healthy by Choice By BURKE LARSEN, DC Toast, pancakes, and/or cereal for breakfast; sandwiches or burritos for lunch; crackers, pretzels, cookies and/or muffins for snacks; pasta or couscous for dinner; cake for dessert... How many servings of the above items do YOU eat on a daily basis? These are all things that, as long as they are "Whole Grain," we've been lead to believe that they are good for us. Well, maybe not the cake, but the rest anyway. But what if that isn't the case? What if these things were actually contributing to our health issues? Not necessarily because of the carbohydrate content of them (that's a rabbits. The losing team had to provide a dinner for the winning team. The hall was the gathering place for this event. When Cecil Bown, John Bartholomew and Carroll Mellor were in the bishopric, they, with the help of many volunteers fixed up the building and gave it a face lift. They sanded and refinished the floors, painted, put in a new ceiling and installed new lights. They updated the heating system, replacing one of the old Heaterolas with a brand new Stokermatic. Curtains were made for the windows, which dressed it up considerably. This building was also used as a place to vote. The need for a bathroom became apparent. The voting judges had to spend all day long there. The mayor and many volunteer helpers piped the water into the building and installed a restroom in the southeast corner. What a relief to even have a place to wash our hands. Later, another corner was remodeled to be used as a Post Office when our Post Office was taken to Gunnison. Again, the faithful Fayette volunteers built a little room and installed some mail boxes, where we could at least pick up our mail. Shortly after, Seth Johnson and the Fayette Scouts painted the exterior of the building for his Eagle Scout project. It's hard to count the number of ward dinners that were held in the building. Relief Society birthday dinners, ward building fund dinners and auctions to earn money for the building of the new whole other topic altogether), but instead because of the protein complex gluten, which all wheat products contain, as well as do rye, spelt, kamut, and barley. The results of constantly eating wheat and other glutencontaining foods range from bloating, gas, constipation and diarrhea, to less obvious symptoms such as muscle and joint pain, fatigue, depression and weight gain. And since all of these symptoms can be caused by things other than gluten intolerance, diagnosing the condition is often difficult (one reason why it is often ignored). Luckily, if you notice these symptoms in your everyday life, there is something you can do to figure out if gluten is the culprit: perform a "gluten challenge" by getting the gluten out of your diet for a while and see whether you feel better. For most people, about three weeks of gluten-free living is enough to tell if you are sensitive or not. For people who are extremely sensitive, I've seen three days make a chapel were frequent events. The sisters would cook their assigned food at home and bring it hot and ready to serve. Residents of Fayette showed their true pioneer spirit, as everyone in the whole town was great to support any cause. A good time was always had by all. The old town hall was the party place. The Fourth and Twenty-Fourth of July celebrations, as well as the primary Halloween carnivals and many MIA fun parties made for great memories. Being involved with the M.I.A., I can recall a "come as you are breakfast" where the kids were picked up early and brought to the hall, as they were (some even in pajamas). A Hawaiian Luau, Halloween spook alleys, dance lessons, roller skating parties and a hobo party were just a few of the activities that took place there. Many practices and presentations of Road Shows were staged in the hall. One that we did was "The Fayette Spring," which took first place in the stake and we went to Ephraim to put it on again. We felt honored; the kids were great performers and enjoyed the opportunity. The new Town Hall is greatly appreciated with its modern day facilities, a kitchen, bathrooms, a large recreation room and even a place for a fire truck. Big thanks goes out to all of the town people who made this possible, but the memories of the good times had within the walls of our old town hall will never be forgotten. Thanks for the memories. huge difference in their swelling and joint pain. Over the course of your challenge, take notice: Is your digestion improved? Are your allergies or headaches or mysterious aches and pains lessened or better yet, gone? Do you feel less tired or bummed out? All these are signs that gluten might be a problem for you. After the three weeks, introduce gluten back into your diet and see whether your symptoms return or worsen. If so, you can be fairly certain that you are gluten sensitive. So, where do you start? Well, first, you must learn which foods contain gluten. Since it's most prominent in wheat, obviously anything made from wheat flour has to go, as well as products made from the other grains listed above. And because wheat is everywhere in food manufacturing, just about any processed food is likely to contain gluten. This includes canned soups, sauces, marinades, broths, soy sauce, flavorings, etc. Seriously, if it comes in a package, has an ingredient list more than a few items long, and doesn't say "gluten-free," it's probably trouble. So what do you eat for these three weeks? Well, if you just can't give up your bread and pasta, there are gluten-free alternatives available at just about any market (BTW – I have been very impressed with the expanded selection here at Gunnison Market). Many of these GF products have interesting textures and flavors, so be aware of that. But there is another way. If you want to possibly shed a few pounds as well on your challenge, try going paleo for a few weeks. Eat only meat, fish, eggs and fruits and vegetables and see how your body responds. A diet like this may just leave you feeling energized and little lighter on the scale. Honestly, give a gluten challenge a shot. It might be the answer to many of your mysterious symptoms. And you might find that gluten intolerance is really a wake up call from your body, which was never meant for a diet loaded with grains, refined sugars and other processed foods. dog as their mascot. I bet someone knows more specifically than I when the mascot was selected? Was it in 1921 when the high school, a one-story brick building, was erected on the east side of Main Street between the south of town and nearby Centerfield? Was the bulldog the original and only mascot that Gunnison Valley High School has had? I have to say a bulldog is a better mascot than the Beetdiggers of Jordan High School where I graduated. The bulldog looks ferocious and tough so it makes for a perfect mascot. What does a Beetdigger look like? Wait, I digress. Has there ever been a real bulldog living in the valley, is what I'm really wondering? It would be cool to have a well trained bulldog at the home games and school assembles. A real dog. Perhaps the dog handler could take his bulldog and travel with the teams. In reality, bulldogs are friendly and gregarious. They have a friendly, patient nature and are known for getting along well with children and other dogs. Bulldogs can be so attached to home and family that they don't want to venture out of the yard without a person with them. We could try to apply those bulldog characteristics to valley residents with the advice: be friendly, be happy in your yard, but get out once in a while too! Which brings us back to the fan who supports the school in all of the activities and sporting events with his own pet bulldog by his side. That would be a true bulldog! If that dog were yours, what would you name the Gunnison Valley High School live bulldog mascot? Janis welcomes your comments. You can email her at janissauic@live.com I wonder if there has ever been a "Real Bulldog" that lived in the Gunnison Valley. I'm not talking about a fantastic student or a strong athlete attending the high school. I'm not talking about a "real fan" that supports the school in all of the activities and sporting events. I know there have been lots of those through the years. I'm talking about a DOG. You know a bulldog—the dog with the sourpuss expression. Well, you might say you've seen some of those expressions around the valley—but they're on people's faces not dogs. Bulldogs are generally docile and easy to please. Probably there are some residents whom you would describe that way also. Remember, I'm talking about dogs. Like all dogs, bulldogs require daily exercise. If not properly exercised it is possible for a bulldog to become overweight, which could lead to heart and lung problems, as well as joint issues. Are there any people out there who could apply this to themselves? The bulldog is the official mascot of the United States Marine Corps and many bases have their own live mascot on base. Thirtynine American universities use a bulldog as their mascot. I can't even guess how many high schools throughout our country have adopted the bulldog as the representative of their school and teams. I do know it was before 1929 that Gunnison Valley High School chose the bull- J 17" Eight 20 yd. shooting lanes • sery accessories • Top of the line fiery • Wide variety of Fishing tackle & bait • • Hunting packs • Scouting cameras • Camo Bow repair and set up • And much morel • Opening Soon!
