Show By Mamie Talbot 676-8084 A lone crow is seen early in the morning flying over the valley, val-ley, but later in the day large flocks of blue pinion jays often cover local lawns. Hills of sage and junipers are their favorites for nests and where they gather to fly south. The coyotes are coming down from the hills and a bobcat crossed the Mrkvicka lot on the Dips road. The youth speakers in the Panguitch LDS Third Ward was Katie Fisoher. Dale and Elaine Baldwin told about their mission mis-sion on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. The ward choir sang and Sicily Houston and Kali Moore sang a special song composed com-posed by Elaine. Members of both the Panguitch LDS Second and Third Wards were invited to join the choir for the special Christmas program. Practice is held each Sunday at 4 p.m. Juanita Talbot is home from a three-week visit with her family in Layton and Provo. Mabel Harris has beautiful new windows in her house. New shingles have also been put on the late Mary Sargent house. Mike Talbot has a big building build-ing next to his house up to the square. We don't know what it is but it looks like a shop. The Panguitch Lions Club members are getting their birthday birth-day calendars out to those who ordered them. It is a fund raiser for their many good works. We appreciate the club and all they do for the community. Many members of Mamie Talbot's family were here to visit while she was in the hospital. hospi-tal. Grandchildren Justin and Amanda Talbot came from Brigham Young University with Dennis and Karen Williams. Mamie hadn't seen Justin for three years, as he was serving an LDS mission in Argentina and went directly to BYU where he was released. Justin, Amanda and Eric Talbot are children of Steven and Susan Talbot and are attending BYU. Richard and Marilyn Talbot and two boys of Orem were here also, as well as the Lyle Talbot family of Sandy. Most of the motels in town are either closed or partly closed now that the weather is so cold. Verda Oldham's family had a birthday party for one of the grandsons on Election Day, then went to the polls to see how the elections were coming along. Daughter-in-law Janet Oldham was running for mayor, so the day was quite exciting for the family, especially when she won. Laine and Gloria Sevy and her parents, Barney and Ida Shannon, have gone back to St. George for the winter. We miss our summer friends but wish them comfort and happiness with the winter warmth in the south. Elder Mayo Miller, son of Kenny and Randi Miller, reported report-ed his mission to Singapore in the Panguitch LDS First Ward. Our thanks go to the outgoing city officers who have served so faithfully. We are looking forward for-ward to the new year with new and continuing officers. We are grateful for all the people who care and help us in so many organizations and positions. Service is the basis of life. Clifford and Betty McFarland are back home on River Lane after being gone for three weeks with their family members. The Wade Hovinga house how has walls, a roof and windows. win-dows. It is enclosed so that inside work can continue in the cold weather. Weston Johnson is improving so well after his nearly yearlong year-long illness, that he has gone back to Utah State University in Logan. He has been recovering at home with his parents, Dennis and Joyce Johnson. His sister, Candace, has been home also from Cedar City where she received her GED. When she recovers from recent surgery on her foot, she will go back to Cedar City. The American Legion and Auxiliary, Post and Unit 25, held their annual Veteran's Day dinner on Monday, Nov. 12 at the Flying M Cafe in Panguitch. Sixty-six members and guests attended. Veterans in attendance atten-dance served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Also, four former Boys Staters and four former Girls Staters were included in the group. The delegates to Girls and Boys state gave their reports and included Alison Yardley, Mendy V Orton, Adam Howard and Cassidy McCullough. The girls also entertained the group with songs they learned at Girls State. Aimee Nicole Matthew, who wrote a prize winning essay last year while she was in the fifth grade, read her essay entitled, "I Thank Veterans For My Freedom." , The Footnotes, a group of young people, sang several patriotic songs. They were directed by Cindy Coombs and Heather Stoffers. Mike Savage, accompanied by Pam Yardley, sang "The Flag Without A Stain." By Earl Roe 676-2376 No news is no news. Is this the way the old adage reads? We must be in the Winter Doldrums judging by the way news items are piling up. Most of what I have been told could turn out to be bad news and I hate to write about bad news, so I'll write about Evalyn and myself. If you (our readers) don't want to report what you are doing, then what I write serves you right. Evalyn had to come up with a program for Homemakers last night so she had two of our foreign for-eign exchange students meet with the ladies and tell them about their' home countries and answer questions from members. mem-bers. Ingo Westerman from Germany and Man Ho-Ah (Joe) from Hong Kong, met with the group. Joe said it was fun. Evalyn and I took Joe to Cedar City Monday evenjng to i attend the program honoring the National Guard units from southern Utah who were called into service during the Korean War. Colonel Frank Dalley commanded the unit and under his leadership they earned the Presidential Citation for doing such an outstanding job. Most amazing is the fact that Colonel Dalley took over 500 men into battle and brought every one of them home alive even though some were wounded. Theirs is an amazing record. The Nevada Test Range is where pilots and other service personnel from many nations learn and practice the flying skills and use of the many kinds of munitions that we see being used as we watch the televised scenes of the war in Afghanistan and Dessert Storm. Sometime next Spring they hold an exercise exer-cise called Capstone, which is open to the public and all of these different weapons and tactics tac-tics are demonstrated. This should be better than the Air Shows that many of us have seen. We were promised that we would be notified of the date and would have front row seats. I will pass this information to our readers as some of you might like to see first hand that which we see on television. Some advise for the young romantics of today "If you think - She likes you bristles -Walk bare footed - Through some thistles." Burma Shave |
