Show PAUGUITCU nsvs By Earl Roe 676-2376 wearlroeyahoo.com The calendar says it's Fall, the leaves are turning red and gold, hunting season is open, the geese began moving South some time ago, but the thermometer refuses to accept these indicators indica-tors and keeps telling us it's the middle of the summer. What's happening? Hal and Roma (Talbot) Wilcock and their two children, Janalee and Jeremy came over from Cedar City to pick up her mother, Norma Talbot, for a trip to Pleasant Grove and Lagoon. Jim and Erica Talbot and their two children, Micah and McKenna, joined them at Lagoon. Norma said the weather was great and everyone had a good time. Norma also mentioned that another grandson, Mitch Talbot, son of Art and Mary Talbot of Cedar City has been home for a short leave from his pitching duties. Mitch was snapped up by the Houston Astros and at the present time is pitching in the Rookie League and is doing very well. It would surely have been nice if his grandfather, Roy (Doc) Talbot, could have lived to see a grandson grand-son follow in his footsteps and carry on a family trait. Jason and Annette (Tew) Orton are the proud parents of a new daughter, Kyan Brickell, who entered this world on Sept. 10 in Cedar City. Grandparents are Brent and JoAnn Orton (deceased), and Fred and Sandra Tew of Altamont. Kyan has a brother and sister, Jantzen and ' Kapri, who were thrilled to have a new sister. Annette has a relative, rela-tive, Milton Tew, who taught ' school here some time ago. Many of the 'old timers' will remember him. ' Bob and Grace Benfield have ' some visitors from Washington state staying with them for a few days. Don and Joyce Stetner and ' 'Tom and Loretta Garred are spending some time viewing I some of the beautiful and unusu-' unusu-' al scenery we have in this part of II the! "West. I wish some of that - Northwestern moisture could ' have followed them. They are " working their way south to Surprise, Ariz, where they will spend the winter. This is also where Bob and Grace go to escape the Panguitch winters (if we have one). Art (class of 1940) and Beverly Crosby, Boyd and Renae Owens, Ned and Melba Owens, Arden and Elna (Owens) Johnson, and DeWitt (class of 1940 and Beth Heywood had a weekend get-together get-together at Mesquite a few days ago. (This was almost a "Owens Cousins" reunion). I asked Art if he made enough to pay for the trip, but he said the horses were not running like they were supposed sup-posed to run. I did not inquire about the 'one armed bandits', but I am sure he would have said something if they had been kind. Art and Bev Crosby had more excitement a few days after they returned home when they found a skunk in their window win-dow well and it couldn't get out. Bev figured that if they could "put it down" without exciting it too much they might be able to remove it without the usual side effects so she mixed some gopher bait in hamburger and dropped it in the well, but the skunk ate it and looked around for more with no ill effects. Bev called Otho Buckley "(Buck" to see if he could help and after looking the situation over suggested sug-gested a hose from the exaust of an automobile. They got the hose, fastened it to the exhaust pipe, eased the other end down into the window well, covered the well with a blanket, then raced the motor for a while. When they went down into the basement and looked through the window, this had done the trick. The skunk had expired without leaving his calling card. This was a lot of trouble when all they had to go was grab it by the tail, so I have been told. This method prevents it putting it's sprayer in gear, so I've been told.
