Raising Cane in Pahreah
Leola Schoenfield Shares Memories of Life on the Pareah through Utah Oral History Project
Pahreah cemetary site highlights the beauty of the canyon and the memory of the few settlers who have lived in the region. On September 11, 2002, Leola Schoenfield was interviewed by Marsha Holland for the Utah Oral History Project. At this time Leola lived at the Kanab Skilled Nursing Center, and had just turned 90 years old. Leola’s life took her many places; from Price, Utah, where she was born, to Baker City, Oregon, to Pahreah Canyon and Cannonville, San Diego, California, the Arizona Strip, Toquerville and Kanab. During her childhood as well as in her married life with her first husband, she and her family worked in farming and ranching. In this interview she describes her early life in Pahreah and her farming and ranching experience with her first husband, Grayson Cattery. This article has been abridged and edited slightly for clarity.
KANAB - Leola Schoenfield: My name is Leola Mangum Chatterley Schoenfeld. I was born September the 1st 1912. I was born in Price, Utah, Carbon County. My parents were Marion Mangum and Edna Armintha Carlow. We were just there [in Price] for a while when I was born. We didn’t live there too long. I am the fifth child out of ten children. Marsha Holland: You lived in Pahreah until you were six and went to first grade in Cannonville? LS: We would go down there [to Pahreah] for the summer and back up there [to Cannonville] for the winter. There was Oma Mangum, my aunt, who was the only midwife, you might say. She was Uncle John’s wife that lived on the Pahreah with us. It was them and my dad and mother and my grandfather and the children of course. MH: You went down to Pahreah Town for the summer? What would you do down there? LS: I’ll tell you what we did. We just took that place and made it into a beautiful place. We had grape arbors. We had orchards. It was a beautiful place to raise anything you wanted to, but tomatoes. It was too hot down there for tomatoes. My grandfather, molasses was the main thing he made. We had acres and
acres of cane, sugar cane. We had the two boys, Dwaine and Herman, they went out and cut it down with a scythe, a sickle, sort of a round thing. They would haul it in then we would put it over a chopping block. Each one of us had a block, just a chopping block where we would chop the heads off. Then we would take and strip the cane. It was good, juicy as it could be. We would run it though a mill that squeezed the juice all out. Then he had a big vat, half as big as this room and filled it full of juice. We had a cow there. When that old cow would see any of that juice she would just stand and drink it out of the tub. MH: How was it processed? LS: We cooked it in a big vat that was there. We had a big fire under it. My grandpa cooked it all. When he got to the last batch, he said, “All right, we are going to have a batch of candy now.” He would make it into candy and we would all have a candy pull. MH: I have never heard of sugar cane being raised there. LS: Oh, it was good. That was making the molasses. It was the best molasses you could buy. MH: When you finished processing it would you sell it? LS: We took it up to Cannonville to sell it. We kept a lot of it on hand.
MH: That was what people used for sweetener for baking. LS: That was all they had. They had cans to put it in so it would be handy. We would seal it up, put a lid on it and haul it up on the wagon, because that was the only way it could go. It was thirty miles [up to Cannonville]. MH: What was your route? Up the Pahreah? LS: Yes, you went up the
canyon, up the Pahreah Creek. You couldn’t go when it was raining or you would have been in a flood. You had to go when it was clear weather. My sister and I years later, I was about fourteen or fifteen when we left there. I was about fourteen when we left there and went to California, San Diego. My dad went down to barber school. He liked barbering so he took that. MH: Now, tell me your grandpa’s name? LS: John Wesley Mangum. He was good at everything. We raised a garden. We raised chickens. We had cows. There were lots of sheep men around there with their sheep. [They were] Not too close to ours. They would come up and bring their horses, and when I got older, that was when I thought it was fun, because they use to come up bringing their horses and some cows. They would have a rodeo and bucking cows and horses. MH: Who were the other families that would spend the summers there? LS: We was the only one on Pahreah. MH: There was no one else there? It had been abandoned? LS: Yes. Carlow, mother’s brother, he lived farther up, but we would all get together at times and have a big time. We were never lonesome. That country is so pretty. I just love it. Pahreah Cont’d on page 2
OGDEN - At least a dozen bald eagles have died in the past month in Utah, and state wildlife officials don’t know the cause. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources spokesman Mark Hadley said six eagles were found sick and later died of nearly identical symptoms, and another halfdozen birds were found dead in the wild. The eagles were found in an area of northern Utah spanning several hundred square miles. There is no clear cause of death, but Hadley said that the birds are undergoing a necropsy - the equivalent of an autopsy for animals. “There’s a whole battery of tests that they run that takes a long period of time to work the birds through, to test for various things,” Hadley said. “So it’s going to be a little while before we’ll know for sure.” Testing done on three of the dead eagles showed they did not die from lead poisoning, he added, saying that
Sean D. Reyes Sworn In As New Attorney General SALT LAKE CITY -Sean D. Reyes took the Oath of Office as Utah’s Attorney General on Monday, Dec. 30 during a ceremony in the Utah State Capitol Rotunda. Governor Gary R. Herbert named Sean D. Reyes, Esq. as attorney general to replace recently resigned John Swallow. Reyes will serve as Utah’s attorney general through 2014.

“Sean is one of the most recognized lawyers in Utah and the country,” said Governor Herbert. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table that will help reestablish the public’s trust in the Attorney General’s Office.” “I have a great respect for what the office stands for and I’m deeply appreciative to the Governor for the trust that he has demonstrated in me,” said Reyes. “I hope to be able to win the trust of all the citizens of the State of Utah in restoring their confidence in this office.

means the birds weren’t poisoned by eating animals that had been shot. The iconic birds live mostly on a diet of dead animals, he noted. The number of recent deaths is much greater than the small number of eagles that die from various causes each year, Hadley said. However, even knowing the cause of death may not provide answers that could be useful in preventing future deaths, he warned. “There’s all kinds of diseases out there in nature that take the lives of wildlife,” he said. “You know, a lot of those diseases, there’s not a whole lot that people can do about them. That’s just what happens out in nature.” Hadley estimated that as many as 2,000 bald eagles winter in Utah between November and March, before migrating north to mate. He said testing to determine the cause of death could take several weeks to complete. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

FDA Aims to Reduce Use of Antibiotics in Farm Animals
New Website Gives Citizens Complete Access to all US State Constitutions An Oregon man has built a website that collects all fifty of the state constitutions of the United States at a single website, www.stateconstitutions. us. The purpose of the site is to make the basic law of every state completely accessible to every person wanting to know more about the function of their state. Site creator Don Merrill said, “With what seems to be a lack of accountability at the federal level, I wanted to give my countrymen and countrywomen something that could give them more influence at the state and local level.” The new website gives every resident of every state in the country access to not only their own state constitution but all state constitutions in several ways. All constitutions are formatted the same, making a side-by-side comparison of state constitutions easier for the user. All constitutions are in one location and can be searched for hot topic terms collectively and individually (This search function is being enhanced). Each constitution has been read and is presented as an mp3 file. This lets users listen or download each constitution like an audio book. Each state constitution page has two columns; one for text and one for associated
time cues. Users listening to the mp3 file may use its time reference to find the same spot in the text version using the time cues. This makes following and absorbing the document easier. Other features and benefits of the site include; (1) a look at the founding character of a state and how it compares to recent research about how that character may have changed since its founding, (2) a newsfeed that collects the most recent stories of challenges to state constitutions, (3) a glossary of terms used in constitutions, (4) an explanation of the differences between state constitutions and the US Constitution, (5) a photo gallery of constitutions that links to official state constitutions and (6) links to the most recent work on state constitutions. The site does not solicit, and is not set up for commercial relationships nor charge fees of any kind. It is presented as a public service. The site took six months to conceive and create, and was launched on Veteran’s Day 2013. A blog post with a more detailed explanation of the motivations for creating the site can be found at http://stconstitutions. wordpress.com/. Video links to state preambles produced in advance of the launch can be found on Twitter @stconstitutions.

MH: Did the flash floods affect you? People left there because of the flash floods. LS: Yes. We had to watch for it. If it rained, no one was allowed to go near the creek because pretty soon you would hear a roar a coming down there. It would be four foot high. You would see cows in it and rollabedding and tubs and everything come down from Cannonville, and clean the creek out as it come. It brought everything. We didn’t dare go [near]. My dad got sick when we was down there and mother had to take him up to Cannonville in a wagon. And left us children down there with our aunt. They was up there ten days. They thought he had typhoid fever. He was up there until he got better, now I’ll never forget when she come home. Mother braved the whole way up there, taking them horses and him up there. I just admired her. We heard one of the boys, he said, “Listen, I can hear something!” And it was them coming down with the wagon. “Giddiyup, giddiyup!” And the horses aclicking on the creek bed, because you have to come right down the creek bed. We all went out a-running and met them way up in The Box. The Box is no place for you to be if it’s stormy because there is no place for the water to go but through The Box. Oh, but we was tickled to see them. Over there it had the problem of the water. Every time it had the flood, we would build the ditch up there for the water to come onto the place. But every time the floods come, it would take it out. And we would have to redo that all over again. MH: That was one of the problems with living there? LS: That was one of the problems. MH: Was there a house that you took over or did you build one? LS: No, we lived in one of them houses. They were just old log houses in those days. There was only three of them. We had to let the farmers have one to put their grain in for their cattle. One day, this is a story I never did forget, when I was small, and Vinnie and Dwaine and Clara wasn’t with us, just the three of us. We went down in that old house and was playing house like kids do. One of the bins was open and empty. They were up so high. We were playing

house and Dwaine said it was time to go to bed. So we climb down in that bin. Well, that bin had a trap door on it and when it went down, it locked. We didn’t know it. It went over the top and clicked there. We went down and laid down, played like we was asleep and finally said, “Oh, well it is time to get up.” There was no way we could we open that [door]. They pounded on that, they jumped and hit it and everything. My oldest sister said, “Well there is only one thing to do, and that is to pray. So let’s get on our knees to pray to Heavenly Father, he’ll open it.” We got in there and opened that door and Dwaine just got up and hit that door and it flipped back. From then on, I was really; I knew there was something in prayer. Our prayer was answered. MH: Tell me your brother and sisters’ names. LS: Vinnie is the oldest, then Dwaine, then Clara, then Me. I was the fifth was because mother lost her first one. Then Drew, LaVar and Carla. Then we lost the baby before we came down from Oregon. MH: Any of your family still around? LS: I am the only one left. MH: Of your family? LS: Yes. They are all gone. My dad lived until he was ninety-three, mother died when she was fifty-two. That was why we got back down the Pahreah. When we was up there [the family had moved to Baker City, Oregon] the doctor said she has got to get down lower. MH: Why is that. LS: Her heart was bad. And Pahreah was low and she always loved it over there because she felt good. She felt good over there. She didn’t want to leave in the first place. MH: So it was the elevation that made it hard for her? LS: Well, then when we came back to Pahreah, we went up down through Johnson and up that way. We didn’t come through Kanab. We never had been to Kanab. We went over there and mother started getting better. We were satisfied then to stay. We stayed over there and rasied cane and then come over here to winter. MH: To Kanab? LS; Yes, we moved to Kanab. We came down here in ’27. MH: So, how old were you when you got married? LS: I was seventeen. MH: Where was your husband from? LS: Kanab. He was a Kanabite. Always was. He was a Catterly. MH: What did his family do? LS: They had a big ranch out on the Strip. Lots of cattle, well he had sheep first. When we was married he had sheep and then my husband had a herd of sheep out there. We Pahreah

pounds of antibiotics were sold for human consumption, but nearly 30 million pounds were sold for meat and poultry production. Many of the antibiotics used in chickens, cows and pigs also are used to treat humans when they get sick. That has helped contribute to the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which Wallinga notes has been deemed a major threat to public health. “We have an epidemic of antibiotic-resistant infections,” he says. “They’re killing more and more people every year. “And what everybody now knows, including the Centers for Disease Control, as well as your local doctor, is that wherever you overuse antibiotics can help increase antibiotic resistance generally.” With a recent final guidance issued by the FDA, pharmaceutical companies have 90 days to decide whether to participate - and if they choose to, they’ll have three years to make the changes. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection
SALT LAKE CITY With the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants to phase out the use of antibiotics to promote faster growth in farm animals, but some claim the efforts don’t go far enough. The FDA’s guidance asks the manufacturers to voluntarily change antibiotic labeling to indicate the medications are only for disease prevention. But Dr. David Wallinga founder of Healthy Food Action, says many antibiotics are now labeled for a variety of uses and changing that won’t necessarily stop their use. “FDA is asking the companies to remove all these claims for promoting growth and just leave in place the disease-prevention claims, and leave in place the dosages,” he explains. “And what we worry is that basically, people will just be using them the same as they ever did - for growth promotion, regardless of what they call it.” It’s estimated that in 2011 in the U.S., about 8 million

in average wages. For example, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security payroll tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $117,000, up from $113,700. Of the estimated 165 million workers who will pay Social Security taxes in 2014, about 10 million will pay higher taxes as a result of the increase in the taxable maximum. The amount of earnings needed for one credit of Social Security coverage has gone up as well, but all workers can still earn up to four credits in a year. In 2014, a worker earns a credit after earning $1,200. In 2013, one credit of coverage was $1,160. It takes forty credits to be fully insured for retirement benefits. Information about Medicare changes for 2014 is available at www.medicare.gov. Visit www.socialsecurity. gov/pressoffice to learn more about the COLA and other Social Security changes in 2014. From everyone at Social Security, have a Happy New Year. —Mickie Douglas,Social Security Public Affairs Specialist in Salt Lake City, UT
SALT LAKE CITY Many people ring in the new year with Champagne. People who receive Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) get to ring it in with a COLA. This year, more than 60 million Americans are receiving a 1.5 percent cost of living adjustment (COLA) in their monthly benefit payment. The 1.5 percent COLA begins with increased benefits for more than 57 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2014, and payments to more than 8 million SSI recipients in late December 2013. The estimated average monthly Social Security payment to a retired worker is $1,294 (in 2014), up from $1,275 (in 2013). The average monthly Social Security disability payment for an individual is $1,148 (in 2014), up from $1,131 (in 2013). The basic monthly federal payment for SSI is $721 (in 2014), up from $710 (in 2013). Some other changes that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase

2013 Great Year At Imagine U SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah rolled out a new marketing campaign on New Year’s Day 2013, and over the past 12 months, the U has proven that “step one: imagine, step two: do” is much more than a tagline. Below are just a few of the major accomplishments from 2013 that demonstrate that all things are possible at a place we call “Imagine U:” Creating Student Success • New Graduate Degree in Entertainment Arts and Engineering The Utah Board of Regents approved a master’s degree in Entertainment Arts and Engineering at the University of Utah. EAE is an interdisciplinary program between the U’s Colleges of Fine Arts and Engineering with the aim of producing graduates ready to design, develop and provide leadership for the video games of today and tomorrow. Utah’s first master’s degree in videogames coincides with the EAE program being ranked the number one undergraduate and number two graduate game degrees in the nation by Princeton Review. • Students Invent Portable Pot that Doubles as a Thermoelectric Generator Power Practical, a student startup that sprang from research at the University of Utah, is selling a portable cook pot that transforms heat and water into a power source. Using thermoelectricity, the pot generates power by capturing the electrons moving from the heated pot to the cooler water inside. The device can charge any USB device over any heat source. • Twin Sisters Earn Doctoral Degrees while Redefining Beauty University of Utah doctoral graduates Lexie and Lindsay Kite dedicated most of their college education to studying the stereotypes of beauty perpetuated by popular culture and its negative effects on women and girls. The identical twin sisters launched Beauty Redefined in 2009, a campaign to help replace distorted ideals of body image with more positive concepts of beauty and wellness. Lexie and Lindsay connect with girls and women across the country through speaking engagements, their website and their 19,000 followers on Facebook. • U Home to First LEEDCertified Residence Hall in Utah The University of Utah’s newest residence hall received gold certification in May using Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards, making it the first LEED-certified university residence hall in Utah. An innovative Sustainable Campus Initiative Fund project helped boost the building from silver to gold. Student Jessica Batty, an honors student who completed an MBA and master’s in architecture at
the U, was awarded a $70,000 grant to implement an electricity-tracking dashboard system in the building as well as a “green” demonstration room. • Wireless Network Detects Falls by the Elderly Electrical and computer engineering graduate student Brad Mager presented a new fall-detection system for the elderly in London in September. The new system uses sensors, eliminating the need for a person to wear a device, and can tell the difference between a fall and someone sitting or lying on the floor. • School of Medicine Expands Class Size Gov. Gary Herbert signed Senate Bill 42 into law, which expanded the University of Utah’s School of Medicine class size from 82 students to 122 by the year 2015. • Education Center in Montana Gifted to the U to Enhance Environmental Study In October, the U was gifted the Environmental Humanities Education Center in Montana. Located in a fully restored ghost town, students visiting the center attend workshops that combine the humanities and environmental studies through poetry, writing and more. • U Establishes Education Partnership with University in China The University of Utah announced a new collaborative education program with Nankai University in Tianjin, China, that will expand global partnerships in Asia. Called the 3+X program, it provides Chinese students the opportunity to attend both universities and receive a bachelor’s degree from Nankai University and a master’s degree from the U. Research – New Discoveries • Hands-Free Talking, Texting are Unsafe Using hands-free devices to talk, text or send e-mail while driving is distracting and risky, contrary to what many people believe, says a new University of Utah study issued by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. • Repeat Brain Injury Raises Soldiers’ Suicide Risk People in the military who suffer more than one mild traumatic brain injury face a significantly higher risk of suicide, according to research by the National Center for Veterans Studies at the University of Utah. • Two Dinosaurs Discovered in Utah - Newly Discovered Predatory Dinosaur “King of Gore” Reveals the Origins of T. Rex A remarkable new species of tyrannosaur was unearthed in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah and was unveiled at the Natural History Museum of Utah at the University of Utah. Big-Nosed, LongHorned Dinosaur Discovered in Utah Researchers at the Uni-
Garfield County Bookmobile
versity of Utah found a new species of horned dinosaur, belonging to the same family as the famous Triceratops. • Researchers Debunk Myth of “Right-brain” and “Leftbrain” Personality Traits Newly released research findings from University of Utah neuroscientists assert that there is no evidence within brain imaging that indicates some people are right-brained or left-brained. • New Study Examines Link Between Pregnancy Weight Gain, Autism Spectrum Disorders Researchers at the University of Utah have uncovered an association between autism spectrum disorders and a small increase in the amount of weight a mother gains during pregnancy. The results of the new study, “Maternal Prenatal Weight Gain and Autism Spectrum Disorders,” were published in the journal Pediatrics. • Sugar is Toxic to Mice in ‘Safe’ Doses When mice ate a diet of 25 percent extra sugar – the mouse equivalent of a healthy human diet plus three cans of soda daily – females died at twice the normal rate and males were a quarter less likely to hold territory and reproduce, according to a toxicity test developed at the University of Utah. • New Device Reveals what Snow Looks like in Midair University of Utah researchers developed a highspeed camera system that spent the past two winters photographing snowflakes in 3-D as they fell – and they don’t look much like those perfect-butrare snowflakes often seen in photos. • 33 New Ant Species Identified in Central America and Caribbean A University of Utah biologist identified 33 new species of predatory ants in Central America and the Caribbean, and named about a third of the tiny but monstrous-looking insects after ancient Mayan lords and demons. Successes like these contribute to the University of Utah’s consistent ranking among the top universities in the nation. For the past 10 years, the U has been ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. In 2013 the U was named among the best values in public colleges by Kiplinger. The David Eccles School of Business ranked among the top 25 schools for entrepreneurship by the Princeton Review for the third year in a row. U.S. News ranked the S.J. Quinney College of Law’s specialty in environmental law number 12, the physician assistant program at 2, pharmacy came in at 10 and physical therapy was 14. University of Utah Health Care received the University HealthSystem Consortium Quality Leadership Award for the fourth year in a row. —University of Utah

Deck the halls with dollars, dude. It’s time for Yuletide living. There’s Xmas stuff on Walmart’s shelves. How did I miss Thanksgiving? ‘Tis the season to be spendthrifts. Credit cards on hyper-stress. Madly buying, wrapping, mailing. On Donner. On Blitzen. On UPS. To some, a Christmas catalog is a sign of joy ahead. I sense the catalogers see a route to lots of bread. Hallowe’en is barely past, with kiddies trick or treating. We still have doorbell candy left, which I, of course, am eating. Easter’s in the offing, too. The rabbit’s probably toiling. Maybe I should purchase dye, and chicken eggs for boiling. It’s early in November, but here comes the Fourth of July. I bet I can find a store with firecrackers I can buy. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are gift days, too, and pleasant. I’m sure they’ll warn us months ahead, so we may purchase a present. I haven’t seen the ads, ‘though, for my favorite holiday, My birthday!! January 28 would be the day.

obituaries Don Bridges
PANGUITCH - Don L. Bridges, 86, passed away surrounded by his family, December 27, 2013 in Panguitch, Utah. He was born July 5, 1927 to Laura Matilda Nay Bridges in Circleville, Utah. He married the love of his life, Lucile Miller, July 18, 1953 in Fredonia, Arizona. She preceded him in death in 2002. Dad was a hardworking man who always provided for his family. But he also played hard. Dad was a farmer, mechanic, truck driver, and lawn wrangler as Mom liked to call him. He retired from Kaibab Industries, but continued to work well into his late 70’s as a truck driver. Dad was not one to sit still for long. He continued to maintain his lawn wrangler job until he went to Page, Arizona to live. Family picnics and mountain outings were a constant in our lives. It was out in the hills to hunt a rock, get a load of wood or just to see some scenery. Music was a constant in the truck or car where we sang or listened to the radio. At home it was around the piano with Mom or Grandma playing. We spent many hours at the cabin at Panguitch Lake fishing and having good family fun. Dad had a special love for hunting elk and deer. The elk hunt was reserved for Dad and his boys to go and have a good time with their friends. Deer hunting was a whole family event, again with good food and lots of laughing and joking. Dad loved to pull pranks and play jokes on everyone all in good fun when you least expected it. It was not uncommon to find a wet pointed napkin stuck in your ear, or for him to come out dressed in some special outfit or hat to make us all laugh. Camping was a favorite pastime, even if it was just a short ride to Tom Best by the lone tree and red knob. Many trips were taken to his favorite spot Griffin Spring and then to explore the mountain He is survived by his children: Russell Don (Annette) Bridges, Randal Miller (Debra) Bridges, Martin Del (Shaneil) Bridges, all of Panguitch, Utah; LeAnn (Clarence) Herron, Page, Arizona; 24 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-greatgrandchildren; brother-in-law, Riley W. Miller and sisters-in-law: Virginia Gibbany and Delene Bridges. Also preceded in death by his mother; son, Jonathan Bridges; granddaughter, Linda Marie Bridges; great-granddaughter, Oaklee Lynn Sidwell; 2 brothers, and 6 sisters. Graveside services and interment will be held Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. in the Panguitch Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.

MaryLou Neilson HENRIEVILLE - MaryLou Twitchell Neilson, 71, passed away December 29, 2013 in Panguitch. She was born December 8, 1942 in Hawthorne, Nevada to Desmond and Gretha Henderson Twitchell, the oldest of six children. She learned how to work hard and care for others at a very young age. After moving to Cannonville as a child, she met the love of her life, Darreld Neilson. They were married on March 21, 1959, in Henrieville and their marriage was later solemnized in the St. George LDS Temple. They made their home in Henrieville where they raised their three children: Toni, Kelly “Zeke” and Sheri. MaryLou was a very loving, caring and compassionate woman. She was a member of the LDS Church and she loved her family deeply. She and Darreld seemed to do most everything together, whether it was living at the Kaibab while Darreld cut lumber, staying in Page while he worked at the power plant, traveling together on an impromptu road trip, or going on an arrowhead hunt. She was a wonderful cook and passed her culinary talents to her daughters and grandchildren. She loved Christmas and always had the most beautiful Christmas tree. She was always there to support and love her family, making sure she was at every wedding, baby blessing, and family gathering that was held. Besides loving their biological family, Darreld and MaryLou fostered many kids in their home, showing them love, support and stability while they cared for them. Tiffany Platero remains close and is still considered a part of the family. MaryLou will be loved and greatly missed by all those who were fortunate to have been loved by her. MaryLou is survived by her husband, Darreld, Henrieville; children: Toni (Alfred) Foster, Tropic; Zeke (KayeLynn) Neilson, Tropic; and Sheri (Arthur) Miller, Panguitch; 12 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, and 2 on the way; sisters: Cheryl (Lonnie) Pollock, Tropic; Ethel (Marty) Rich, Bryce; brother, LaMonte (Rita) Twitchell, Cannonville. Preceded in death by parents; sisters: Christine (Ron) Adair; Judy Chynoweth; son-in-law, Russell Hatch. The family would like to express their gratitude to the doctors and staff at Garfield Memorial Hospital for their loving care of MaryLou. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at 12:00 Noon in the Henrieville LDS Ward Chapel where friends may call from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Henrieville Cemetery.

Bryce Valley Area News by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com
Sandy and Gary Johnson has a wonderful Christmas vacation. They received four priceless gifts. . .a new grandbaby born to Brady and Sarah, a surprise visit from both daughter Rachael and son Jed and just being with family. Sandy say she is just one grateful mamma and grandmother. A quote from Sandy“We had the BEST early Christmas gift! We came home from church and Sarah told us about this special gift she had for us. She opened up her bedroom door and out walked Rachael holding Hanna! “Rachael, we’re so excited you were able to join us for Christmas! Sure wish Hunter could have come, too!” What a wonderful surprise!!” We send our condolences out to Darreld Neilson and family on the passing of Mary Lou Neilson. She has had a long struggle with illness and went peacefully Sunday morning. She will be missed by many and we want the family to know that we have them in our thoughts and prayers. The funeral will be held on Wednesday. Marion, Catherine, Sharlene and Brittney Littlefield took a drive up to Smithfield to spend some time with Mitch and his family. They had good weather and enjoyed the trip. Today in church in Tropic Patrick Garrard gave his homecoming talk after returning from his mission. Also speaking with him were three college students, Lexi Le Fevre, Alex Syrett, and Sam Eddy. In Henrieville the Carlon Johnson family were in charge of the program. Carlon spoke and daughter Jordan played the piano, son Ian did a violin musical number and Isaac played the cello. Jarom, Isabella and Hannah finished up by giving talks. Hey kids remember school starts on Thursday. I am still in shock over the fact that the year 2013 is OVER. Where did it go? Helen Willis and LaKay Quilter were released as primary workers in Henrieville. Congratulations to Duncan Leslie and Deborah Gray on their engagement. Duncan is the son of Jane Leslie and Randall and Dianna Leslie. They got engaged on Christmas Eve. Their baby was blessed by Dustin Leslie and given the name of Carston James Leslie. It was great seeing Dustin and Shiloh home for a visit. Maybe when they go back to the North they will take the cold air with them and we can get warmer. It is good to know that Mae Twitchell is now home from the Cedar Care Center and doing very well. You always heal faster around your loved ones and she is glad to be back home. Alma, Anita and Pauline(Hansen) Fletcher went to Mesa Arizona to visit Jon and Stephanie Scott and family. The Scott’s just moved into a new, bigger home and enjoyed having the company for a few days. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed some good food together. Anita said the weather was nice and the roads were all dry and clear. A familiar face at Bryce Canyon National Park was Al Biegel of Hatch who just passed away. He made lots of friends while working there and will be missed by many. We send his daughter, Bonnie and former wife, Eddie condolences at this time. Ernie and Wynona Henderson spent time in St. George, over Christmas, with son Mitch and his wife Pam and their two boys, Drayden and Tavian. The Henderson’s spent Christmas Eve with Pam’s mother and sisters. While visiting in St. George Wynona said they found out that Riley Miller lives close by so they went to visit with
him one day. He lives in an apartment building there and would love to have some visitors. The Henderson’s were amazed that he lived so close and that all the times they had visited in St. George they could have been visiting Riley as well. They also took time to visit a cousin, Carol Sullivan. She is a first cousin of Wynona and a daughter of Frank and Clatie Savage. Carol is a great genealogist and so they had a good visit about that. Sade Savage, Carol’s grandmother, had a store and hotel in Henrieveill in the olden days. It was located where the church stands today. Some of you older people may remember that. On Sunday the Henderson’s went to Church in Bloomington Hills to hear the mission farewell of Ernie and Zoe Maes who are going to Guatemala to work in the Temple there. This will be their fourth mission as they had just returned from South America. It was nice for everyone to see some family members and catch up on their lives. Parents of Bryce Valleywe are having a problem late at night around Clarke’s. Some young men in a truck have been pulling around the back of the store, climbing on the gas tanks and shooting at cats. Please talk to your boys and help them understand how dangerous (and wrong) that is. (Shame on you boys for doing such a terribly mean thing) Preslee Shakespeare’s baby puppy is missing. He is black w/ a brown face and white socks. He goes by the name Ender and he’s about 16 weeks old. Last seen on my front porch night before last. We’ve been looking high and low for him. His collar is not on him. Please let Bree Shake-
speare know if you’ve seen him. Thanks. A black pickup truck with a red trailer attached was stolen from Circleville a few days ago. Keep your eyes out for it. The people would like to get it back. David and Debbie Jensen came one day to visit
and help around the house and Mike and Stacie Jensen came another day to do the same. Love having family come to visit. Especially when they have their working shoes on. Hope you all have a safe and happy New Year. Please stay safe and call or email your news to me. Thanks VS.

For Your Health Preventing and Treating Constipation Constipation seems to be a constant problem. Some people seldom experience it, but for others it is always an issue. How can it be prevented? Are there safe treatments without a prescription? What is Constipation? .Many people have the idea that a daily bowel movement is necessary to remain healthy. If they fail to attain this goal, they may decide they need to force it with the aid of a stimulant laxative. The reality is far more complicated, as “normal” varies from person to person. It is true that some people normally have a single bowel movement daily. But physicians define the normal range of bowel movements as 3 daily to 3 weekly. Constipation can then be seen as less than your own normal frequency, especially if there are fewer than 3 bowel movements per week. Further, if the stools are harder, drier, or smaller than usual, they become more difficult to eliminate, which are also signs of constipation. You may have a bloated feeling, or a sensation of discomfort in the abdomen caused by trapped feces and gas. Preventing Constipation With Fiber The most common cause of constipation is too little fiber in the diet. Fiber comes from plants and has the ability to help the residues of food remain soft as they pass through the stomach and intestinal tract. Foods high in fiber include whole grains, corn, beans, avocado, apples, and nuts. In addition to ingesting more fiber, you can also drink plenty of fluids to help the fibrous materials pass through the digestive tract smoothly. Fiber Supplements If eating foods with fiber is a challenge, consider nonprescription fiber supplements such as psyllium (found in Metamucil, Konsyl powder, and Hydrocil products), methylcellulose (Citrucel products), or calcium polycarbophil (FiberCon caplets, Konsyl tablets). You should read and follow all directions for these products. Speak to your pharmacist for assistance with fiber supplements. Physical Activity Being physically active seems to help prevent constipation, although the reason is unclear. It is helpful to engage in a daily bout of gentle activity such as walking. Ensure that your body can tolerate the exercise you choose, and speak with your physician for assistance. Heed the Urge to Have a Bowel Movement When the urge to have a bowel movement hits, it is important to respond. This helps ensure that you will continue to perceive that useful signal. People ignore the urge for several reasons, such as being away from home or not wanting to use an unfamiliar toilet. The problem is that continually ignoring this urge will cause it to disappear. Treatment of Constipation Constipation is caused by many problems, including potentially dangerous medical conditions and medications you may be taking. For this reason, you should not self-treat constipation for more than 7 days. There are many other precautions on the labels of laxatives that you should read and understand before use. It is important to Consult Your Pharmacist for assistance with these products. Your pharmacist is specifically trained in helping you choose the appropriate products for preventing and relieving constipation. Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist

Finding the Right Depth Key to Catching Fish Through the Ice
Finding where the fish are -- and then not moving your bait or lure much -- are the keys to catching fish through the ice. Photo by Randall Stilson, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Putting your bait or lure at the depth the fish are—and then not moving it much—are the keys to catching fish through the ice. And using some simple devices that will help you know when you have a fish on the end of your line is a big help too. Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says fish become lethargic when they’re under the ice. “Fish will often stay at a certain water depth all winter long,” Cushing says. “Also, they aren’t able to move as fast, to catch their food. “Keep those two things in mind,” he says, “and you should find plenty of fish on the end of your line this winter.” You can stay updated on where fishing is best in Utah this winter at www.wildlife. utah.gov/hotspots. Two additional websites—www.bigfishtackle.com and www.utahwildlife.net— also provide updated information. Technique Cushing recommends two techniques that will help you find fish and catch fish after you’ve found them: - The first technique is simple—simply drop your bait or lure to the depth where you think the fish are, and then let it sit. Keep it still. If you’ve put your lure or bait near a fish, there’s a good chance the fish will take it. - The second technique is
called “lift, drop and hold.” To use this technique, drop your bait or lure to the depth where you think the fish are. Then, using only your wrist, slowly lift the bait or lure about six inches, and then let it flutter back down to the starting point. Once the bait or lure reaches the starting point, let it sit for a few seconds, and then lift it again. Cushing says a mistake many ice anglers make is lifting their bait or lure too fast and lifting it more than six inches. “Remember that fish that are under the ice aren’t willing to expend a lot of energy to catch their food,” Cushing says. “If you move your bait or lure too much—or too fast—the fish might decide it’s not worth their effort to catch what you’re offering them. “The best thing to do,” he says, “is find the depth where the fish are. Then drop your bait or lure right in front of the fish so it’s easy for them to bite it.” Water depth The depth at which you’ll find fish varies depending on the species you’re after. No matter which water you’re fishing in Utah, you’ll probably find the following fish at the following depths: Yellow perch Either right on the bottom of the water you’re fishing, or no more than six inches above the bottom. Splake Close to the bottom. Trout, kokanee salmon Suspended at various
Panguitch Senior Center HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
depths. The depth at which trout and salmon can be found ranges from just under the ice to as much as 15 feet below the ice. “Once you find the depth at which trout or salmon are suspended in a body of water,” Cushing says, “there’s a good chance you’ll find them at that same depth throughout the winter.” To catch trout and salmon, Cushing recommends fishing your bait or lure just under the surface. If you don’t get a bite, lower your bait or lure a few feet. Try that depth for awhile. If the fish still aren’t biting, continue lowering your bait or lure a few feet at a time. If you’re using the right bait or lure, and you’re still not catching fish, you’ll know trout and salmon are not using that part of the lake at that time. Bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass Near brush, bulrushes, rocks and weeds. Look for vegetation that’s sticking up through the ice or ridges that extend down into the water. To find the depth where the fish are, start by dropping your bait or lure all the way to the bottom of the water you’re fishing. Then raise your bait or lure 6 to 12 inches at a time until you find the fish. Burbot, walleye, tiger muskie, Northern pike Near the bottom of the water you’re fishing. Each of these fish likes to pick baits or lures up, swim a ways with them, and then eat what they’ve picked up. Fishing with the bail on your reel open, or using a device called a tip up, are good ways to let the fish run with your bait or lure

before you set the hook. If you’re not sure which depth to try, ask others who are catching fish near you. “Most anglers are very willing to tell you the depth at which they’re catching fish,” Cushing says. Cushing also reminds you that fish aren’t everywhere in a lake. If you drill a hole and fish for 30 minutes without getting a bite, move to a new spot. “Once you find a spot that has fish,” he says, “keep coming back. More often than not, an ice fishing hotspot will stay hot throughout the winter.” Bobbers Not only do fish move less under the ice, they also bite less aggressively. And that can make it challenging to know when a fish is striking your bait or lure. “If you’re relying on your fishing rod to tell you when a fish is on the end of your line,” Cushing says, “you might not know when it’s time to set the hook.” Fortunately, inexpensive items such as ice bobbers are available. Simply measure the amount of line that will put your bait or lure at the depth you want to fish. Then attach your bobber at that point on your line. The bobber will sit on top of the water with your line dangling under it. “When you see the bobber move,” Cushing says, “you’ll know it’s time to raise your fishing rod and set the hook.” Tip ups An item that will cost you about $15, but that’s effective and fun to use, is called a tip up. A tip up is a device that takes the place of your fishing rod. When a fish takes your bait, a mechanism on the tip up sends a small flag up, letting you know a fish is on the end of your line. “Using a tip up makes it easier to fish in two holes,” Cushing says. “You can drill two holes a ways apart and still know when a fish is biting the line in either hole.” Remember that in addition to your fishing license, you must have a two-pole permit to fish with two poles or two tip ups. Also, your poles or tip ups cannot be more than 100 feet apart. And you must be able to see each pole or tip up clearly.

Broken Things
By Cynthia Kimball We are all broken. There are no two ways about it. Some are broken from an addictive habit. Or because they gossip. Or from what was done to them. Or because they rely on the “arm of flesh”, what man would think, say and do, instead of what God would. Some others because they’ve been emotionally damaged or hurt and therefore don’t want to or are afraid to love again. Music artist, Kenneth Cope, even wrote a song called, “Broken Things.” He says, “Broken souls. need His mending.” We all need His mending. No matter where we are in our faith/spiritual journey. No matter how dimly or strongly we feel/have the spirit. We all need mending. And then Cope asks,
“Could it be that God loves broken things?” Absolutely. 100%. Yes. For the Deseret News, a few years back, I was in the media section at a Time Out for Women Conference. There Cope talked more about Broken Things. And he used a broken iPod as an example of how God thinks about us. He said that God would never throw away that broken iPod. That He would repair and use it instead. And that is what God does with us. He repairs and uses us no matter how broken we are. Again, He would never consider throwing us away. So how do we become unbroken? Cope offers a suggestion: “.put on Christ till His name feels broken in.” In the New Testament of the Bible, in Matthew 10:39, we get similar counsel, “ aHe that findeth his life shall blose
it: and he that closeth his dlife for my sake shall find it.” Cope believes, “.God loves broken things.” That is you. That is me. That is every single person in this world. We are all broken. And we are, “.broken soul[s] that cr[y] for mending Yet, Cope’s, “.convinced that God loves broken [you]. Because, “.God loves broken things.” Thus, come to Him today, no matter how broken you are. Especially since, for Him to use you effectively, He first has to repair you. Lyrics Source: www.lyrics.com, 2013.

Attainable New Year’s Resolutions
This year I resolve to... - Gain weight. At least 30 pounds. - Stop exercising. Waste of time. - Read less. Makes you think. - Watch more TV. I’ve been missing some good stuff. - Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow. - Take a vacation to someplace important: like, to see the largest ball of twine. - Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more. - Buy a 1983 Cadillac ElDorado and invest in a really loud stereo system and get the windows tinted. - Buy some fur for the dash. - Not swim with piranhas or sharks. - Never make New Year’s resolutions again.
New Year’s Dinner
As in many homes on New Year’s Day, my wife and I faced the annual conflict of which was more important - the football games on television, or the dinner itself. To keep peace, I ate dinner with the rest of the family, and even lingered for some pleasant after-dinner conversation before retiring to the family room to turn on the game. Several minutes later, my wife came downstairs and graciously even bought a cold drink for me. She smiled, kissed me on the cheek and asked what the score was. I told her it was the end of the third quarter and that the score was still nothing to nothing. “See?” she said, continuing to smile, “You didn’t miss a thing.”

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! House Cleaning
The adolescent daughter excitedly informed her parents that she had just gotten a job cleaning a neighbor’s house. The wife, knowing how seldom her daughter helped with any sort of housekeeping at home, asked, “How will you know what to do?” “I’ll be easy, Mom,” she replied innocently. “I’ve been watching you for years.”
Living with a Teacher
My wife is a teacher; it’s really weird to live with a teacher. I’d be on the phone, doodling on a piece of paper, leave the house, come back in two hours and that same piece of paper is now on the refrigerator with the words “Good work!” and a big smiley face on it.
Forgotten Birthday
A wife was very disappointed and quite upset over her husband forgetting her birthday. He diplomatically responded, “How do you expect me to remember your birthday when you never look any older?”
Military Training
Our patient in the hospital was a big, burly former officer. Just after surgery, and still half out of it, he became agitated and confused, tearing at his IVs and trying to escape his bed. The nurses gamely attempted to keep him calm but were losing this battle. That’s when my military training came in handy. “Colonel!” I commanded. “At ease!” And with that, the colonel fell back to sleep.

Am I Required To Treat My Children Equally in My Estate Distribution Plan? by Jeffery J. McKenna
No. The manner in which you wish to distribute your assets upon your death is very personal in nature. You may choose to have your assets distributed equally among your children or in whatever proportions you may deem appropriate. If you do not take your estate planning into your own hands, the state in which you live will normally have its own distribution scheme, which seldom represents a decedent’s wishes. Since every person’s situation is different, your estate planning attorney will draft your estate planning documents to comply with your wishes while, at the same time, directing you toward realistic and tax-effective goals. You may want to disinherit a child for several reasons. Your child may have sufficient resources of his or her own; your child may be undeserving of an inheritance; your other children may have greater or special needs; or you may not want to compound a child’s own estate tax liability. Most state laws permit you to totally disinherit a child, regardless of reason. However, care must be taken in order to effectively disinherit a child. First, it is important that you have a will or a trust. If
you die intestate (without an estate plan), state laws provide that your children are entitled to a share of your estate. Therefore, if you die intestate, the child you wanted to disinherit will share in your estate against your wishes. If it is your intention to disinherit your child, it is imperative to specifically reference that child by name in your will and/or trust and acknowledge that you are intentionally not providing for that child. Failure to do so could allow that disgruntled child to claim that he or she was unintentionally “omitted” from your estate plan and force a share of your estate, thus thwarting your wishes. Using a trust may provide additional benefits over a will when intentionally disinheriting a child. Because trusts are not automatically subject to the jurisdiction of the probate court, the notification requirements of the probate court do not apply. The trustee of your trust is under no obligation to provide the disinherited child with the details of your estate plan since he or she is not a beneficiary. Additionally, should your disgruntled, disinherited child choose to challenge the validity of your trust,

he or she confronts a number of obstacles not present in the probate process. Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a child may find that there are other effective options, such as putting assets in a separate trust for that child, with a trustee of your choice making the decisions of what the money can, and can not, be used for. It may be wise to consult an estate planning attorney to become informed of all your options before making decisions that affect the distribution of your estate, and possibly the harmony of your family, once you are gone.

Practical Money Matters
What if Your Car Gets Totaled? by Jason Alderman
Each year, auto insurance companies declare millions of vehicles to be “totaled,” meaning it’s not worth the cost to repair them. It doesn’t matter whether the car was damaged in a collision, during a flood or after a thief’s joyride went bad. It’s hard to argue with such an assessment if your car was wrapped around a telephone pole or the gas tank exploded. But what if the damage was more cosmetic, such as major dents on the roof and hood from a hailstorm? A vehicle is considered a total loss if the insurance company determines that the total cost to repair your car to pre-accident condition, plus fees for storage, salvage and a replacement rental car (if included in your policy), is more than a certain percentage of car’s retail value. Insurers set their own allowable percentage, within state-mandated guidelines (typically around 60 to 75 percent), and use their own formulas to determine a car’s value and estimated repair costs. Thus, if your $4,500-valued 2002 Honda Civic sustains $1,800 worth of damage – moderate bodywork and repainting these days – it might be deemed totaled, even though the engine still runs fine. On the other hand, a latemodel Mercedes could sustain far greater damage and still be
considered salvageable. What’s worse, if the accident was your fault, or you must otherwise tap your own insurance (e.g., it was caused by an uninsured driver), you would only receive that $4,500 minus your deductible. Good luck finding a comparable car for that amount. Other big losers when a car is totaled are people still paying off their auto loan. Since the lender technically owns the car, they’ll get first crack at any insurance payment; and you’ll still be responsible for paying off the loan balance. As a preventative measure, you may want to purchase gap insurance if you owe more than the car’s retail value – or if you rolled past debt into the new car loan. It will pay the outstanding loan balance if your car is totaled or stolen. Most insurers will let you add gap insurance at any time. Here are a few additional points you should know about when and why a car is declared totaled, and precautions you can take ahead of time to lessen the impact: • Make sure the insurance appraisal includes the value of all extra features and aftermarket accessories, like heated seats, custom wheels or an upgraded audio system. • Be prepared to show documentation of any major repairs or upgrades you made
that might boost the car’s value – say you recently replaced the engine or bought new tires. • Do your own research. Use independent pricing sites like Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds to determine your car’s worth, factoring in its mileage, added features and overall condition before the accident. • If your estimate is far off from the proposed settlement, ask whether your policy includes the right to hire your own appraiser for a second opinion. Most states have a procedure for settling such disputes. Understand, however, that no matter the arbitration outcome, you’ll still have to pay your appraiser, and likely, a portion of arbitration costs. • Make sure the insurer’s totaled car value includes estimated sales tax to replace the car, as well as registration and title costs, since you wouldn’t have incurred these costs if you didn’t need to replace the car. Let’s hope your car is never totaled, but it pays to know in advance what to do if it is. Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

that’s when it hit him. MH: Where were you then? LS: I was in the house and looked out the window and saw him go down. MH: Did you see anything else? LS: No, didn’t see anything. I thought he had tripped on something. He says, “I don’t know what it was. It was just like something hitting me”. And he come in the house and from then on… and the cows lost their udders. They got it too. MH: There must have been a lot of other people in the area who were having the same experience. LS: There was, there were lots of them. We lost a lot to cancer. MH: Well this guy, the doctor said it was definitely from “downwind”. LS: Yes it was “downwind”. All these doctors up here did search to see what he’d done, and where he was at and everything. They said that’s a “downwind” case. MH: So what did you do then? LS: Well I worked in the hospital. We sold the farm and moved to town [Kanab]. MH: Now you worked in the hospital. In Kanab? LS: Yes. My nephew was head of the hospital. We came back from “Toquer” and he said “I was you, I’d go in there and clean rooms for me.” I said, “I will”. And I cleaned rooms and I’d help the nurses with a lot of things. I never was idle. When I saw
something that needed to be done, I did it. That’s the way I do it around here. Then we ran the Lark Hotel. It is not the Lark now. It was owned by a man and woman. They built it. They came and said, “You have good recommendations, you would be a good person to run our motel.” He came up to the van and asked me if I wanted to do that and I said, “What ever you do.” I quit down there and went down to the café and ran the [motel] café for three years. MH: So, you were in Kanab when the movie industry was here? LS: Oh, yes. I went to work out to the Lodge, the Parry Lodge. I worked in the kitchen. I did the baking and bakery and made everything. MH: Do you remember meeting any of the famous actors? LS: Yes, all of them. But I didn’t like some of them, not really. They thought too much of themselves. Sammy Davis Junior was the best one of the bunch. MH: How many children did you have? LS: I had five. I lost one. MH: You ended up remarrying? LS: After he had been gone for eleven [years] I married a fellow who I had known for a long time. His wife had died. I guess we practically married for companionship. We knew each other and it was wonderful. —Southern Utah Oral History Project
Cont’d from page 2
raised a lot of alfalfa and had an orchard, a lovely orchard. MH: It wasn’t that difficult a change for you to move from the Pareah to being a rancher’s wife? LS: I enjoyed that out there, because I made cheese and I made butter and I made what ever you could make with milk. I had chickens of every kind, I mean all kinds. We kept eggs and gathered them in a big ole’ pan. Then we had, we built another house by then. We built a bungalow house and had it fixed up pretty. Then we decided to raise some turkeys. We raised four thousand turkeys. MH: What year was that? LS: Around the fifties, maybe we started around forty-nine. After we raised the turkeys, my husband decided that he wanted to go down to Toquerville and have a dairy. So we went down there and bought cattle, went up to Alton and bought cattle, and we sold our ranch. MH: So you moved to Toquerville and had a dairy farm? LS: And we brought the milk to Beaver. They made cheese and everything up there. That was two years of that, and that’s the year that-what was that stuff that killed people, so bad? MH: Do you mean the nuclear testing? LS: Yes the nuclear tests. And he got hit with that. MH: Who? LS: My husband. With that farm it was so close to where that went over. See that went over the farm, and down in St. George.

The Southern Utah Oral History Project began in 1988 as a result of local interest from the small towns and ranching communities of Kane and Garfield counties to preserve the cultural history of the area. The aim of the oral history project was to preserve some of the memories and culture of long-time residents of the area. Following completion of transcribing and editing of each interview, a finished copy was given to the interviewee with a copy deposited at the Utah State Historical Society. In some cases, other written material was also collected and included in this oral history collection. This material is created and copyrighted by the Utah State Historical Society. Complete transcripts of interviews can be found at: http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/grand_staircase-escalante/ more/cultural___heritage/southern_utah_oral.html Funding for the project came from Bureau of Land Management. The Insider appreciates use of this material and we look forward to publishing additional local histories from the project to connect area readers with our cultural history.
