CEDAR CITY – The public is invited and encouraged to attend the annual observance of Migratory Bird Day, put on by the Bureau of Land Management and several other govern-ment agencies, this Saturday at Cedar City’s Main Street Park.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. and run until noon and will be in the hexagonal pavilion, event organizer Sheri Witfield said.

There will be lots of information on migra-tory bird conservation, yard setup and planting that will help attract migratory birds, bird walks and watching and lots of games for kids, Witfield said.

Last year’s most popular kids’ game will be back this year, where participants roll dice and are given different obstacles that birds really face while migrating, like cat encounters, being shot by a BB gun or flying into buildings, Wit-

field said.Migratory Bird Day is observed annually

throughout the United States, Mexico and Can-ada, Witfield said, and it is typically observed on the second day of May.

Along with the BLM, the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources, the Forest Service and Partners in Flight are teaming up to put on the events of Migratory Bird Day.

The Native Plant Society will also have a booth set up that will provide lots of information on the types of native plants that are not only drought resistant and hardy in our climate, but can attract migratory birds to our community.

“It’s really important and everyone should come out,” Witfield said. “There will be a lot of educational information for everyone.”

Witfield said those who attend should bring their binoculars and lots of questions.

CEDAR CITY – Com-munity Presbyterian Church is planning its semi-annual rummage sale and bake and craft sale this weekend and proceeds from the sale will help support the church’s local, state, national and worldwide missions.

CEDAR CITY – Andy Roy Gorecki, 26, was bound over on the charge of child abuse homicide last Wednes-day after Judge John J. Walton heard evidence in a prelimi-nary hearing.

Gorecki is charged in the death of his infant son, Tay-shaun Michael Gorecki, who was rushed to the hospital at 3 months old pale, limp and with pink froth coming out of his nose, the child’s grandmother testified.

The grandmother, Pearl-ene Aguilera, took the stand along with Cedar City Police Detective Mike Bleak for the second time. A preliminary hearing took place last year on lesser charges, but after the infant died in September, the Iron County Attorney’s Office enhanced the charges and Gorecki had the opportunity for another hearing.

Aguilera testified that on the day of the injuries, Dec. 18, 2009, she was living with Gorecki, who is her son-in-law, as well as her daughter and grandchildren. She said she left in the morning and returned between 3 and 3:30. When she returned, Gorecki

was the only adult in the residence and he told her the baby wasn’t breathing.

She found the child on the bed in her daughter and son-in-law’s room, wrapped him in a blanket and took him to the emergency room. She believed he was dead, she said.

She said she believed Gorecki had previously been violent with the child, which she described as a “little whiner.”

“He can’t really cope,” she said.

Bleak said when he responded to the hospital that day the infant was receiving

medical treatment. He was flown to Primary Children’s Medical Center and was in intensive care for some time. He was then transferred to a long-term treatment center in northern Utah, where he stayed until life support was removed and he passed away.

Bleak interviewed Gore-cki after the incident, and he testified that Gorecki changed his story multiple times. It had been established that he was the only adult present after about 1 p.m., when his wife left for court.

Bleak read from the dep-uty medical examiner’s report, and said he had attended the child’s autopsy. In the report, the cause of death was listed as “complications from head injury” and the manner of death was listed as “homicide,” he said.

Gorecki’s attorney, Jack Burns, said he believed the cause of death was not homi-cide, but rather the removal of life support, and while there was likely sufficient evidence to bind Gorecki over on charges of aggravated assault, he should not be charged with murder.

Walton disagreed and set an arraignment for May 17 at 1:30 p.m.

Man bound over on child abuse homicide charge

Former CV coach, teacher pleads guilty

CEDAR CITY – Carter Lynn Miller, 34, pled guilty last Wednesday to two prescription drug distribution and posses-sion charges and was sentenced by Judge John J. Walton in Fifth District Court.

He was originally charged with 16 counts after police discovered he had been ask-ing students to bring him prescription medications from their homes. The charges were reduced to two second-degree felonies.

Miller had been working at

Canyon View Middle School as a mathematics special educa-tion teacher, a weights teacher and an assistant football coach. He resigned Feb. 16 after being arrested Feb. 15.

He was sentenced to 106 days in the Iron County Correctional Facility and 36 months bench probation, and will be required to complete the Iron County Drug Court program successfully. He was also ordered to pay several fines, write letters of apology to the students involved, and not enter any educational facility for students under 18 unless performing parental duties.

PERSON OF THE MONTH. Brennan Wood, Cedar City/Iron

County Economic Develop-ment Director, is on the front lines of the city and county’s efforts to attract new manu-facturing firms and other busi-nesses to Cedar City.

Brennan has been busy building friends for the area with the powers that be in Salt Lake City, reaching out to prospective manufacturers and others that might be con-sidering relocating to Cedar City, and assembling the data that those looking at our area always require.

Friendly and personable, Wood exudes professionalism. It is comforting knowing that a man of his ability is leading the economic charge in Iron County.

DID YOU KNOW? That the first fast food restaurant in Cedar City was opened in the 1930s. It was called The Filling Station and sold hamburgers and hot dogs. The small restau-rant was located immediately south of the Cedar Sheep Asso-ciation (now Bulloch Drug) on the site today occupied by Clark and Linford Jewelers and Hunter Cowan.

That Time Magazine has estimated that it will cost $263 billion to identify all of the world’s unknown animal spe-cies, assuming some 5.4 million (of an estimated 6.8 million species total) have yet to be cataloged, and, presumably, determined whether they are threatened or not. Aren’t we glad our variety of prairie dog has already been discovered?

That the first elevator in Cedar City was in the Bulloch building on Main Street and today takes people to the floor above Bulloch Drug and Wood’N Lace Place.

REMEMBERING 1900. At the advent of the 1900s in

Cedar City, there were two buildings (now long gone) on the west corner at Main and Center streets. The first, where Boomer’s (the former JC Pen-ney’s) is today, was the General Mercantile store (the Cedar City post office was around the back at the building’s rear).

Next door to the mercan-tile on Main Street was a small bakery and restaurant that had originally been used as an ice-cream parlor. There, as one person describes it, residents could purchase for five cents “a little milky, watery-thin ice-cream with six crackers or cookies shaped like stars.”

In 1905, Charlie Wilkerson built a small theater, which he called the Gem, adjacent to the bakery. Next to the Gem, Harry Hunter built his barber shop. And at the end of the block was the Co-op Store where Wells Fargo Bank is today.

JUST THE FACTS. Renon Savage, city recorder, reported that 18 business licenses were issued in March, including retailers The Jokes on You Comics (1429 Knoll St.), Inter-mountain Farmers Country Store (905 S. Main St.), and Apria Healthcare, Inc. (987 N. Main St., Suite 5).

Cedar City’s sales tax revenues in January 2011 show a substantial boost over Janu-ary of last year with $332,213 compared to 2010’s $308,125 (that’s an 8 percent increase). RAP tax revenues did even better: $27,493 in January 2011 compared to $25,210 in Janu-ary 2010 (up 9 percent).

Workforce Services reports the Iron County work force dipped in March by 106 jobs, 14,977 (down from February’s 15,083). Iron’s unemployment rate in March was 9.3 percent, compared to Utah totals of 7.6 percent unemployed and the nation’s 8.9 percent. Washing-ton County's unemployment

rate was 9.6 percent.BEWARE of what you

wish for because you might get it. I have noted of late how many locally have been calling for draconian cuts to the federal budget. I hope they recognize what that might mean to Cedar City and Iron County.

Fully 28 percent of all jobs in Iron County are with gov-ernment, so if the government cuts back on jobs, it could be yours or your neighbor’s. And every job lost causes at least another job to fold elsewhere in the community (the ratio is 1.5 secondary jobs for every primary job), so reducing gov-ernment jobs means reducing non-government jobs too.

Then, too, the city’s com-muter air service depends on an annual subsidy (it is called an Essential Air Service Grant) to the provider (SkyWest) and without it commuter air service in and out of Cedar City would stop with an estimated annual local economic hit of up to $25 million.

And the Coal Creek flood control project needs $2 mil-lion to be completed (the feds have already given us $8 mil-lion). If the city doesn’t get it, it will stand vulnerable to the predicted 100-year flood that would devastate the eastern part of the community.

Cedar City benefits in many ways through federal government investments in our

roads and streets, police and (especially) fire departments. All of which have made life in Cedar City better and safer.

Nearly half (48 percent) of the students who attend SUU use federal loans or grants to pay their bills and if the loans aren’t available, many would not be able to attend college. So beware of what you wish. It could come to pass.

QUESTION: Who was the first physician west of the Mis-sissippi to use penicillin in the treatment of a disease? Answer: Dr. Rymal Graff Williams, who was a Cedar City physician for 44 years (1947-1991).

Dr. Williams was serving his medical residency at a Denver hospital during World War II and one of his patients, a young girl, was stricken with osteomyelitis, a bone infection. Williams thought the experi-mental antibiotic penicillin could assist the girl in fighting what was then an always fatal disease, but the serum was in short supply and limited for use only by the nation’s armed forces.

Using connections he had at Fitzimmons Army Hospi-tal in Aurora, Colo., east of Denver, Williams obtained a couple of bottles of penicillin for experimental work. He injected the girl with the serum and penicillin saved her life.

Dr. Williams died in 1995, but all of his children have

resided in Cedar City and today continue his legacy of service: Cynthia Dunaway, a revered first-grade teacher at South Elementary School; Roland Williams, owner of a hair salon and an accomplished pianist (he served for many years as the accompanist for the Master Singers); Sue Ellen Davis, a hair stylist; and Merrill Williams, a retired cytologist. Deceased are Dr. Tracey Wil-liams, who was a dentist, and Dr. Roger Williams, who was a pathologist.

LOOKING GOOD. The new intramural field east of the Sorenson Physical Education Building at SUU, named for the late State Representative Bud Bowman, is a handsome addi-tion to the campus. The lighted field (the college football sta-dium didn’t even receive lights until 1983) has a grass-covered bank along its south side, a perfect place for spectators to sit and watch games. With the new field has also come some needed additional parking to accommodate the growing student body.

The large bed of flowers around the Veterans Park sign and at the Iraq/Afghanistan War Memorial will again be planted, thanks to the efforts of the indefatigable Joyce Messer and her helpers Barbara and Bert Roberts, and will brighten Cedar City’s summer and fall this year.

REMEMBERING. There was a time in the 40s when the Branch Agricultural Col-lege (now Southern Utah University) was experiencing a paucity of students for what was then essentially a junior college. The BAC offered only one bachelor’s degree (in elementary education) and fewer people went to college in those days.

With only a bare bones staff, student recruitment became everybody’s responsi-bility, including the faculty (if for no other reason than job security) who went out in pairs to comb southern Utah for prospective students.

The late Edwin L. Peter-son, who taught history and political science at the BAC in those years, liked to tell of when he went to Marysville with another faculty member to recruit a student the school coveted. They went to the home where the boy lived and knocked on the door.

Receiving no answer and thinking the mother of the house might be working in her backyard garden, they walked around to the rear entrance, where a woman came out of the back door carrying a cof-fee pot. Peterson introduced himself to the startled woman who, glancing at the pot in her hands, said, “Thank goodness. I thought it was the home teach-ers.”

CEDAR CITY – Artful Edibles and Sonny Boy’s Bar-becue, two of Cedar City’s culi-nary businesses, teamed up last Thursday at the Artful Edibles store in an effort to raise funds for the people of Japan.

The two businesses offered up their delectable food for those who wanted to help the country that was recently ravaged by earthquakes and a tsunami.

Tables for enjoying the meals were set up both outside and inside the Artful Edibles store, with the band Second Breath providing live music for those willing to brave the wind and sit outside.

The businesses originally had a goal to raise $5,000 for Japan, but the turnout was quite low, Tiffiney Christiansen, event organizer, said.

For $12.50 a plate, patrons were able to choose from an elaborate spread of Japanese food made by Artful Edibles,

including teriyaki chicken, potstickers, miso soup, an Asian cucumber salad and mango rice for dessert, or an all-out

barbecue feast that included a tasty pulled pork sandwich and the traditional barbeque side, coleslaw.

“We were able to cover our costs, but we probably only ended up making $100,” Chris-tiansen said.

Despite the low turnout, Christiansen said that those who came “absolutely loved the food.” What helped even more, she said, were those people who donated a lot more than was required to get the meal.

“There were some very giv-ing people,” Christiansen said.

Christiansen said that they had a lot of good feedback, with people commenting on what a good idea it was to hold the fundraiser, even though there wasn’t a great community response.

“We just wish that we had more money to send to the people (in Japan),” Christiansen said.

Culinary businesses have fundraiser

CEDAR CITY – A new landscaping plan for the Aquatic Center, with a sand volleyball pit, some additional concrete, and grass around the outdoor pool, was presented to the city council last Wednes-day and was approved.

Work began Monday, as the city is using the same two contractors used at the Fields at the Hills to expedite the project.

With summer on its way, the council wanted to get the landscaping done as soon as possible to make the area around the outdoor pool usable by the public.

The city expects the landscaping to be done within about 60 days. Councilor Nina Barnes said she felt it was critical to move the project along.

“I feel good with the design,” she added.

There was significant discussion about sod versus artificial grass, and it was decided to go with the sod for now, because of the cost of artificial turf and the fact that it would take longer to get in, as the project would have to be bid out.

The landscape design pre-sented was similar to the one presented the week before, and included trees and deco-rative rock in the planters in the parking lot, grass near the outdoor pool, and sand play areas for kids.

At the request of the coun-cil, a sand volleyball court had been added. Leisure Services Director Bob Tate also said they had reduced the eleva-tion in the sand play areas in hopes of keeping most of the sand from blowing away.

The estimate with the sod

option was $144,222.63 and the estimate with the artificial turf option was $190,498.63. Barnes asked if the water usage on the lawn and main-tenance costs over the next approximately 10 years would balance out with the extra cost of the synthetic grass, but there was not a definitive answer for that.

Councilor John Westwood said he was concerned about whether sod would be able to be kept nice with the pool so close. Although several of the councilors seemed concerned about how the wisdom of put-ting grass so close to the pool, they decided to move the project forward.

The council also voted to award a contract for the installation of solar panels on the Aquatic Center to Solar Unlimited. City Manager Ron Chandler said the city’s pur-chase policy allows two forms

of bidding – a hard bid and a request for proposals. In the case of the solar panel project, they had used a request for proposals.

Barnes said although the Solar Unlimited bid was about $10 more than a bid from Alternative Power Systems, the three-year warranty in the Solar Unlimited bid (instead of the standard one-year war-ranty) and the inverter size in their bid warranted giving the job to them.

The council approved the motion to do so.

The meeting also included the recognition of the Cedar City Wastewater Plant for four awards it recently received, including an “Excel-lence Award.” Burgess said the award is given out when the city has received at least three other individual awards, and Cedar City’s plant was the only one in Utah to get

that award this year. It was the second time the plant has received it.

Andrew Wallace, and Information Technology intern for the Cedar City Police Department, was also recognized for his role in identifying a suspect in the SunFirst Bank robbery that occurred in February.

Police believed the sus-pect made a ruse phone call to keep police occupied while he robbed the bank. Wallace was able to identify the type of cell phone used, identify possible dumping sites, and find stores in Southern Utah that sell that type of phone. He even personally found the phone in a dumpster and police were able to recover it from there.

Police Chief Bob Allinson said Wallace was very instru-mental in identifying a suspect in the case. He gave the intern a challenge coin in appreciation.

Since the election they have crunched numbers and reevalu-ated, and they believe public safety’s needs can be met for $2.6 million, he said. The loan they have been awarded by the CIB is for $2.553 million.

The town then sent out sur-veys and received 33 back from registered voters. Twenty-three said they would support the project and 10 said they would not. With the few surveys that came back from people who weren’t registered voters, the tally was 27 in support of the project and 11 against it, Had-erlie said.

The proposed building

would accommodate the city’s anticipated growth for the next 30 to 40 years, and could accommodate six fire trucks, an ambulance, and a law enforce-ment vehicle. It would also have an upstairs classroom for train-ing that could also be rented to the public.

“We think it will be a public asset,” Haderlie said.

There will also be an unfin-ished sleeping space, because staff anticipates a day will come when they will need to employ on-staff firefighters.

He said the town has put together a request for proposal and solicited for a contractor at risk. This person would work with the architect to help design the building, which is better for keeping costs in check, he said.

A committee of town coun-cilors, citizens with engineering and construction experience, Haderlie, Bulloch, and the pub-lic works director will review applications, taking qualifica-tions into consideration and giving local preference. Recom-mendations will be presented to the council next Tuesday.

Haderlie said whether the CIB funding will be accepted is up to the town council. The council recognizes the need for the public safety department to have better working conditions, but wants to make sure it is act-ing in the best interests of the town and its residents. Coun-cilors have been very open to hearing the public’s point of view and education residents about the project, he added.

CEDAR CITY – Two classes from Fiddlers Canyon Elemen-tary gathered with city officials and employees last Thursday to celebrate Arbor Day by planting two trees outside the Cedar City Aquatic Center.

Students from Mrs. Seely’s sec-ond grade class and Mrs. Bayer’s third grade class attended and heard a short program before help-ing to plant an autumn blaze maple tree and a Canadian chokecherry tree.

Bob Tate, Cedar City Leisure Services director, said he has been involved with Arbor Day for a long time, and trees have been planted all over town during Arbor Day celebrations. Fiddlers Canyon Elementary classes have long his-tory of participation, he added.

Kelly Washburn, urban and community forester with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, said two students from Fid-dlers had been the region poster contest winners for their grades, and students in Cedar City have been participating in the poster contest for a long time.

The national poster contest was started in Utah, she added.

Mia Gatherum, the Southern Region second grade winner, and Eliana Swensen, the Southern Region third grade winner, were recognized. Woodsy Owl was on hand to help congratulate the students and Mayor Joe Burgess gave each of them a certificate for a

one-month free pass to the Aquatic Center, in addition to the many other goodies they received.

Olivia Webster, the Southern Region first grade winner, attends South Elementary and was unable to be at the celebration.

Burgess also spoke and told students that trees are important and fascinating. He said they are some of the largest and oldest living things on earth, citing the examples of the Giant Sequoia tree and the Bristlecone Pine.

Cedar City’s residents have always had an interest in trees, originally naming the community after the trees that grew in the area. Soon after settling, they found out the trees were actually junipers, not cedar trees, but they kept the name. The city’s interest in trees continues today, he said.

Ninety trees were planted last year in the new Memorial Grove, by Bicentennial Park along the Coal Creek Trail, and about 55 more trees are expected to be planted this year. Additionally, the city budgets to allow the parks department to plant about 40 new trees a year throughout the city.

Cedar City has been recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for 12 straight years, Burgess said.

All of the students attending had an opportunity to help plant the two trees and received a free day pass to the Aquatic Center. The trees planted were in planters in the parking lot, and are the first of many that are expected to go in soon.

There was a tire obstacle course, a balance beam, a mud bog to crawl through, a rope swing, and a muddy slip-and-slide that contestants good-naturedly endured. The obstacles were named after sponsors and proceeds went to benefit Special Olympics teams in Southern Utah.

North kids learn through creating

A walk through the halls of North Elementary shows two terrific facts: First, it’s spring, in spite of what may be happening outside. Second, the students have demonstrated their learning in creative and fun ways.

One class has created travel bro-chures complete with illustrations and descriptions of fabulous destinations. Another has illustrated the life cycle of a butterfly. Several classes have kites flying outside their rooms displaying book reports and vocabulary words.

You will find miniature landscapes showing the plants and animals found in wetlands, deserts, and forests; as well as symmetrical prints. There are several floral displays with pink blossoms, pansies, and other flowers brightening the halls.

You can read fables and story summaries, see realistic watercolor radishes, and see repeating patterns in decorated eggs. For the Polar Bears, learning includes creating.

Come in and check it out.

Enoch kids start D.A.R.E. program

Students returned to school after the spring break full of vigor and energy to finish the school year.

Author Gary Hogg visited our school last week. He encouraged students to enjoy writing with his animated message and enthusiasm for storytelling.

Officer Raddatz began teaching fifth graders about the importance of avoiding drugs as part of their D.A.R.E. training. The kids were excited to realize that they had ulti-mate control over decisions involving drugs and alcohol. D.A.R.E. gradua-tion will be on May 26.

End-of-the-year testing is in full swing at Enoch Elementary. Attendance is important, as well as eating a nourishing breakfast and getting lots of sleep. Enoch Tigers make their teachers so proud with their dedication to put their best foot forward with testing. Keep up the great work, kids!

Fiddlers hires new teachers for fall

Fiddlers Canyon Elementary is pleased to announce the appoint-ment of two new teachers to our staff.

Mr. Jeff Shirley has been hired as a third grade teacher. He is cur-rently teaching in Rexburg, Idaho and will be taking the place of Mrs. Marianne Tobler, who is retiring.

We've also hired Mrs. Aubri Johnson, who will be our extended day kindergarten teacher. Aubri will graduate from SUU this spring. Welcome to Fiddlers, Aubri and Jeff!

Three Peaks kids visit SUU farm

Several exciting activities took place at Three Peaks last week. On Thursday kindergarten students visited the SUU farm. Also on Thursday, staff members participated in the district-sponsored first aid re-certification.

On Friday, parents and fifth grade students are invited to attend the annual maturation program at 2 p.m. The presenters this year were Dr. Nielson and Nurse Lindsey Finch.

This week all second graders will enjoy traveling to the fire safety house for important training.

Iron Springs kids join in Kite Flight

Iron Springs Elementary teamed up with a Lion’s Club special pro-gram called “Lions Kite Flight for Reading and Sight.” This program is designed to get students excited about reading.

When students completed the “Kite Flight” reading record they received a kite to join in the free family fun festivities Saturday.

Our kindergartners went to the SUU Farm; they saw cows, horses, and fed milk to the baby lambs. They learned how each animal contributes to our environment.

Escalante Valley has ‘film festival’

Escalante Valley School’s “Film Festival” was a fabulous success. Students walked the “red carpet” and shared their theatrical productions and animated films with their families.

The silent auction of student photography netted over $200 toward the PTA’s school marquee fund. Don’t miss the school’s McDonald fundraiser night, Monday, May 9.

CVMS kids finishradio-controlled airplane project

Susan Hunter had two students recently complete a project that has taken over a year and a half, building radio-controlled planes. We congratulate Matthew Matheson and Morgan Duncan on this huge accom-plishment.

A special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Vitarbo who spent many hours volunteering their time on Monday and Wednesday afternoons this year assisting the boys. We thank them for their time, service and gen-erosity.

Eighth grade student Valorie Kieper’s Visual Arts entry in the PTA Reflections competition has won at school level, district level, state level and is now going on to compete nationally. Congratulations Valorie! We’re very proud of you.

The chess tournament for June Miller’s three core classes is complete with the following results: FIRST CORE—Russell Rowland, 1st; Garret Wood, 2nd; Shawn Slack, 3rd; SECOND CORE—Cord Johnson, 1st; Alan Tyler Anderson, 2nd; Brandon Stone, 3rd; THIRD CORE—Hunter Torres, 1st; Andrew Lizardo, 2nd; Adrianne Lopez, 3rd.

CEDAR CITY – Iron County School Dis-trict announced today that two students from Cedar High School have been named recipients of the Daniels Scholarship and will be attending colleges and universities across the United States in the fall.

Kaitlyn Friese and Matt Grover were nomi-nated by their counselors for the scholarship. Both students exhibit high academic achieve-ment as well as community service.

Kaitlyn Friese is planning to attend Univer-sity of Arizona to become a neonatologist. Matt Grover is planning to attend University of Utah to become a biomedical engineer or orthopedic surgeon.

In establishing the Daniels Fund, cable pio-neer Bill Daniels directed the program to seek out students he termed “diamonds in the rough.”

He was looking for promising students with financial need whose academic performance may not necessarily reflect their potential, but who demonstrate strength of character, a well-rounded personality and a record of accomplish-ment in giving back to the community.

The Daniels Scholarship is not “full ride,” but is supplemental to all other financial aid resources available to the student. By requiring students to apply for other readily available financial resources such as Pell Grants, the Daniels Fund is able to provide even more scholarships to deserving young people seeking to attend college.

After other financial aid resources have been applied, the Daniels Scholarship covers all required tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies and a variety of other miscel-laneous expenses. Students also receive a laptop computer and a printer.

Daniels Scholars are also eligible to apply to enter dual-degree programs at their respective institutions, allowing them to earn their under-graduate and graduate degrees in five years.

Bill Daniels, a cable pioneer known for his kindness and generosity to those in need, established the Daniels Fund to provide grants and scholarships in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. When he died in the year 2000, his estate transferred to the Fund, making it the largest foundation in the Rocky Mountain West.

SportS todayWednesday, May 4, 2011

Well, the time has come for my tenure as sports editor for Iron County Today to

come to an end and though it’s only been a little over a year, it’s been a remarkable experience for me.

In high school (I went to Enter-prise High. Go Wolves!) I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I was sure of two things: First, it wouldn't involve sports in any way. Sec-ond, it wouldn't involve Southern Utah in any way.

As time moved on I traveled quite a bit and lived all over the place, both in the U.S. and abroad. Somehow I ended up back in Southern Utah and took a job at Iron County Today. Working as a sports writer helped me to shake off these two prejudices I held in high school.

I do not believe that athletics define Iron County. Rather, I think that the attitude and personality of Iron County flavors the way athletics takes place. There is a sense of pride here that permeates every aspect of life. I think this pride is magnified during athletic events.

One interesting thing I've noticed that cuts across all athletic events, is the fact that there are always three types of people at any athletic event – old men, parents, and teenagers.

First, old men. I used to sit by the old men and spy on their conversa-tions. They comment on the players, on how bad the officiating is, on the weather, and about how in years past a certain team or player or coach would handle situations.

After a while it wasn't enough to sit and listen and I started talking to them. They were always eager to introduce themselves and talk sports for as long as I was willing to listen.

Most writers will tell you that they have an imaginary audience that they picture in their head as they write. My audience as a sports writer has always been these old men. They know what came before and they bring with them a deep perspective

that helps to create a stoic attitude toward the games they love so much. While I can't bring myself to com-ment on the quality of my reporting, I can say that these old men have improved my understanding of the vital nature of what sports means to people.

Now parents. Ah, parents. These are the ones who send me e-mails

for a misspelled name or an omitted event. They call me at 6 in the morning wondering why the event I was at wasn't covered in the paper (the answer is they were looking in The Spectrum).

They yell the loudest at officials and feel most deeply the triumph of victory or the agony of defeat. They taxi their kids around in seemingly impossible

schedules so that the high school athletic teams have actual athletes Their passion for their kids creates a passion for the sport and has in a large part shaped my own growing passion for sports.

Then there are the teenagers who don't make any logical sense. I love, LOVE, it when a stadium full of teenagers all join in a cheer (or a jeer to their opponent). They don't get the irony of shouting “air ball” at a missed shot when their own team is down 50-0. They are genuinely entertained by the handful of songs everyone plays at sporting events.

They scream and jump and sweat and swear and go primal over an event with little to no bearing on any of their lives. Both as athletes and spectators, teenagers embody the concentrated excitement and fury of athletics.

This will be my last sports section as I move on to other opportunities. While I want to thank the entire com-munity for helping to make this one of the most exciting and rewarding jobs I've ever had, I want to give spe-cial thanks to the old men, parents, and teenagers who instilled in me a love of sports and of Southern Utah that will last me a lifetime.

Outgoing editor thanks community

In Region 13 softball, no one is going to catch up with the 10-0 Enterprise Lady Wolves, but the race for second place is a heated match between the Parowan Lady Rams and the Millard Lady Eagles.

These two teams fought it out April 26 in Parowan’s frigid weather and the result was a definitive win for the Lady Eagles, but Parowan has a chance for revenge.

Millard grabbed an early lead in the second inning and again in the top of the fourth before Parowan got on the board thanks to a double from Rickie Warr.

In the fifth, Millard broke away with five runs, garnering a formidable lead. Parowan managed a few kicks at the bottom of the fifth with a small two-out rally where Kaycee Barton knocked a 2-RBI double that reduced Parowan's deficit to 3.

Neisha Roy stood on the mound for the Lady Rams the entire game,

looking like a embattled soldier on the losing side of a war. Throughout the match, Roy gave up only six hits, but Millard capitalized off five Parowan errors to squeeze 11 runs out of the game, including five in the last inning.

“She's a fighter,” coach Doug Rog-erson said about Roy. “She's tough and this type of experience will really pay off later on.”

Before this Millard run, McKinsey Smith made it look like Parowan would still be contenders as she knocked the ball out of the park and ran the bases alone, but it wasn't enough for the Lady Rams and the final score put them on the unfortunate side of 11-4.

Parowan went on to host Kanab on Friday in a contest that saw lots of runs on both sides well into the eighth inning.

Kanab pulled ahead with a 7-0 advantage after the top of the third before Parowan was able to score any runs.

Parowan chiseled away at the lead while Kanab kept pushing. The fifth inning ended with Kanab up 12-7 and

increased that by six after the top of the sixth.

Parowan had a sports-movie moment and scored 10 runs in the bottom of the sixth, making the score going into the seventh Kanab 18, Parowan 17.

Kanab managed two runs in the seventh, raising their score to a formi-dable 20, but Parowan walked right up to them and tied the game.

In the extra inning, Kanab put one on the board, but it wasn't good enough. Savannah Morgan hit the two-run single to give Parowan the much-needed 22-21 win.

Parowan's final regional game was Tuesday at Millard. Results were not available at press time, but a win would tie them up in second place with Millard at 7-3 while a loss would make Parowan’s final resting spot third place.

State-wide rankings place the Lady Rams in third place behind Enterprise and San Juan and with a reasonable state seed, the Lady Rams just might push their endgame further than that.

Water polo is not an officially sanctioned sport under the Utah High School Athletic Association, and as such players and coaches have to work out their own schedules and competitors. This extra effort is rewarded each year when the Utah Summer Games hosts their annual water polo tournament.

This year was no exception, as teams from across Utah competed in 80 matches, making the Utah Summer Games one of the most par-ticipated and successful water polo tournaments in the state.

The Canyon View boys’ team came into the tournament after taking first place in the Park City tournament April 21-23. They took that momentum into the USG tour-nament and won two of their three

pre-tournament matches – first a 17-7 win against Brighton Orange and then a 6-3 win over Wasatch. Their one pre-tournament defeat came against Wolverine with a score of 8-11.

Cedar’s boys’ team started out with a 10-4 win over Delta before falling to Tooele Black (11-4) and Bear River (6-11) on Friday.

The tight race between the Redmen and Falcons for the No. 1 spot in region hit a bump last week as Cedar lost two in a row, giving a slim but decisive advantage to Canyon View, which went 1-1 for the week.

Cedar’s troubles started with a non-region match at Juan Diego last Wednes-day. Cedar scored five before the Soaring Eagles laced up their cleats at the bottom of the third. A four-run inning for Juan Diego kept Cedar sweating with a virtual tie that lasted until the bottom of the seventh when a single run gave the Eagles the 5-5 win.

Brooks Orton recorded a home run and a double for the game while Carson Ludlow and Kole Halladay contributed with doubles of their own.

The loss was tough, but the non-region game didn't count. Things heated up as Cedar hosted Snow Canyon on Friday.

Snow Canyon is the best team in Region 9 and holds a decisive first place for 4A with a 20-2 overall record (8-2 in region).

Consider, for a moment, the future of Region 9. This season sees Cedar and Canyon View in the dominate positions in one of the toughest regions in the state, but their records pale in comparison to

Snow Canyon and are very comparable to Pine View and Dixie – all which will be competing in 3A next year.

Cedar pushed hard and saw Hunter Low with a grand slam as part of 7 runs the pitcher garnered.

But Cedar couldn't keep up with the Warriors, who recorded three home runs and five doubles that led to 16 runs on 16 hits.

Canyon View had better luck during the week with two region games. First they faced a 4-5 loss at the hands of the Flyers – again a 4A team. They then hosted Hur-ricane, which managed a 1-point lead going into the fifth before the Falcons scored 2 points in the fifth and sixth for a 5-7 win that included a home run from Lex Nielson.

Both teams have their final games on Friday after Tuesday's regional battles (results were not available at press time). Though one game may not seem like a lot, this one game holds the weight of a regional championship.

Southern Utah softball used a two-out, walk-off RBI single off the bat of Heather Richardson in the bottom of the 11th inning to post a 4-3 victory over North Dakota State on Saturday afternoon.

The win moves the T-Birds to 24-28 overall and 14-7 in the Summit League with only one more conference series on the schedule.

“Wow,” coach Kyle Magnus-son said after the game. “That isn't the way you always want to get your wins, but we’ll take it. North Dakota State has a great team and this series was really tough. I’m really proud of our team and the way we were able to get that win today.”

Southern Utah was held hitless through six innings, but did score a run in the fifth to take the first lead of the game, 1-0. Richardson drew a lead-off walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt laid down by Madison Resley. Kadi Hender-son then came to the plate and popped out and Richardson then baited a throw to second with a longer lead. The ball sailed on the NDSU shortstop and carried into right field, allowing Richardson to score

Western Illinois used an impressive offensive perfor-mance Saturday to pick up another win, outscoring the Thunderbirds 15-4.

With the win the Leath-ernecks also claimed the four-game series three games to one.

Southern Utah used five different pitchers in the game, but it didn’t seem to matter who was on the mound for SUU as Western Illinois continued to tally hits and score runs at will. Every batter in the Leath-erneck lineup recorded a hit in the game, seven of whom also picked up at least one RBI.

Starting pitcher Alexander Zarate also had a solid outing for the visiting team as he held the Thunderbirds to four runs on eight hits in six innings of work while striking out seven.

David Headley got the start for SUU, but was removed in the second inning after aggravating a previous injury. The redshirt sophomore was charged with the first two runs of the game as Western picked up a ground out RBI from Matt Igara in the top of the first, followed by another in the second inning off the bat of Dan Dispensa to take an early 2-0 lead.

The Leathernecks would extend their lead to five with three more runs in the top of the fourth as left fielder Matt Cowhey hit a two-run ground rule double and was then driven in by second baseman Bryan Jordan, who hit an RBI double to deep left.

In the bottom half of the inning Southern Utah got on the board when center fielder Tariq Staton hit a ball to the left field wall to drive in Austin Hunt from second, which cut the deficit to 5-1.

That was as close as the Thunderbirds would get, how-

ever, as the Leathernecks went on to score four runs in both the fifth and sixth, and then two more in the seventh to outscore the T-Birds 10 to 3 over the final three innings for the 15-4 victory.

Shortstop Austin Cowen led the Leathernecks going three-for-five at the plate while driving in four runs.

Austin Hunt, Taggart Lunceford, Tyson Weber, and Staton each drove in a run

for the Thunderbirds in the loss. Weber’s RBI came in the form of a solo shot over the left field wall for his first home run of the season.

With recent injuries to several key members of the Southern Utah pitching staff, the Thunderbirds have relied on their offense to help them pick up wins over the past few weeks.

sUU PITCHeR Justin Neubauer made his first appearance in more than a month Friday.

Haylee HoCH hit a two-out single in the 11th, scoring the win-ning run two batters later.

on the play.The 1-0 margin held

through the first two outs in the sixth, but a two-run home run by North Dakota State gave the visitors the lead for the first time, 2-1. An RBI single up the middle for the Bison two batters later stretched the lead to 3-1.

The score remained 3-1 going into the bottom of the seventh inning when Southern Utah led off the frame with back-to-back doubles by Haylee Hoch and Darleen Fernandez, putting runners on second and third. The tension mounted as the next two bat-ters struck out looking, but a clutch two-out single by Kadi

Henderson tied the game at 3-3.

Neither team was able to break through over the next three innings as starting pitchers Heather Black for SUU and Whitney Johnson for NDSU, went the distance throughout the contest. The game looked like it would continue through the bottom of the 11th inning as Southern Utah began the frame with a pair of fly balls to the outfield.

Hoch then came to the plate and ripped a single to center field that was then mis-played by the NDSU defense and allowed the junior to move to third.

Following an extended discussion in the circle by NDSU coaches and players, Fernandez was intentionally walked during the next at bat,

giving Richardson the chance to tally the game-winning hit for the T-Birds.

“Honestly, I was kind of mad,” Richardson said after the game. “I kind of felt dis-respected that they thought I was the easier at bat and so I just wanted to hit the ball hard.”

Richardson did hit the ball hard, drilling a walk-off single to left-center field and giving the Thunderbirds the 4-3 vic-tory.

Southern Utah will close out its conference season this weekend with a road trip to UMKC and then will close out its regular season at home when the T-Birds host Brigham Young University next Tuesday.

Press release submitted by SUU Media Relations.

The Thunderbirds com-pleted their last outdoor meet before the Summit League championships as they com-peted in the BCS Buster Invi-tational at Wichita State.

Senior Cameron Levins also competed this weekend as he ran with the Canadian team at the world-renowned Penn Relays.

Jumper Kylie Murakami led the women in Wichita State as she set a new school record in the triple jump. Her seventh-place mark of 37-6 improved her previous top school record of 37-2.5, which she set at the Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa-Pacific.

The throwers of the wom-en's team also found success as Kayla Kovar and Adrienne Hill both improved on previ-ous records in their respective events. Kovar improved her second-place school record in the shot put with a second-place mark of 49-9.75.

She was followed by Hill, who finished fifth and ranks third in SUU records with a mark of 45-11.25. Hill also had a third-place finish in the discus throw with a mark of

147-11, improving her previous fourth-place SUU record.

The sprinters were led by Christina Day, who finished second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 55.29. Shaye Maurer also had a second-place time as she finished the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.05. Maurer also improved her previous sixth-place South-ern Utah record as she finished sixth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.07.

Maurer and Day also ran on the women’s 4x100-meter relay team that placed second at Wichita State with a time of 46.21. Jasmine Paicely and Chelsey Allen completed the team.

The men were led by distance runner Kevin Sandall who took home a second-place finish in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:55.50. Clinton Rhoton also had a second-place finish as he finished the men’s 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:05.66.

Kodai Kusano, Dallin Tavoian, Alex Suponch and Preston Myers represented the men’s sprinting team as they finished third in the

4x100-meter relay with a time of 42.46.

The throwers were led by Hector Perez, who placed second in the shot put with a mark of 52-6.5. Cody Olson followed as he finished third in the javelin throw with a mark of 187-6.

Levins donned the Cana-dian jersey as he ran the last leg of the distance medley relay in the USA vs. the World division of the Penn Relays. Levins ran the mile in 4:03.96 as the Canadians finished sixth among teams from the USA, Morroco, Australia, Kenya and Ethiopia.

“It is really a great oppor-tunity for Cam to compete at such a prestigious level,” SUU coach Eric Houle said. “Every athlete dreams of representing their country and he has raced for Canada multiple times now.”

Levins will return with the rest of the Thunderbirds as they travel to Brookings, S.D. for the Summit League Outdoor Championships May 12-14.

Press release submitted by SUU Media Relations.

T-Birds compete at Wichita as Levins races for Canada “I knew coming into this

series that we were going to have to outscore them to win,” SUU Coach Dave Eldredge said. “We expected them to score, but I had hoped that our pitchers would limit the number of runs they gave up. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and we just gave up too many.”

The Thunderbird lineup also struggled to put up runs on the Western Illinois pitch-ers.

“Their one and two pitch-ers are very good and have had some big wins this year,” Eldredge said. “I expected our hitters to get to their three and four guys and I’m disap-pointed that we weren’t able to.”

With the win Western Illinois improves to 7-9 in the Summit League and surpasses

Southern Utah for the fifth spot in the league standings as they drop to 6-10 in confer-ence, and 18-24 overall.

The Thunderbirds will travel to Shreveport, La. this week to take on the Centenary Gents. The two teams will play back-to-back doubleheaders with the first scheduled for Friday at 5 p.m. followed by another pair of games on Saturday.

CEDAR CITY – Jeanette Gillins Stoker met her best friend, Gerald, in high school and after 60 years of marriage and countless trials, they are still best friends and she feels they have had a great life.

Jeanette and Gerald both grew up in tight-knit families, and felt a drive to create their own family. It took them seven years to be able to adopt their first child, Steven, and then they were able to get three daughters within 10 years. They named their beloved girls Lori Jean, Karalyn (Karrie) and SueAnn (Annie).

“We just weren’t complete,” she said, until they had their children.

They love all their children deeply, and would have adopted more, but they were told they were fortunate to have been able to adopt four, Jeanette said. They worked with the LDS church and the state chil-dren’s services.

Though she only was able to legally adopt the four, her heart and home have always been open to others in need. She has taken in nephews, foster children, Native American youth, foreign exchange stu-dents, friends, neighbors and others, her daughter Annie Yahne said.

“Children were bathed, fed, clothed, taught and loved until they could go home,” Annie said.

Many of them still “call, write and even return to visit their ‘mom’ in Cedar City,”

she added.Jeanette also served

as caregiver for both her parents, driving to Milford regularly until her mother died in 1997 and welcoming her father into her home for several years after her mom passed away, until he died as well.

Gerald described his wife as a devout Mormon who believes the Lord wants his children to care for one another and she has always been open to those who need her.

Jeanette grew up on a dairy farm in Milford, and despite the hardships, “it was a good

life,” she said. Gerald lived in California during World War II, but moved to Milford in high school, where they met. Early in their marriage, he was in the Army and they lived in California, Virginia and France.

Gerald went to France before her and once he got established she had to move their by herself. She took a train from Milford to Wash-ington, D.C., then flew to Greenland, then Ireland, and finally France. It was her first time on a plane.

“But it was worth it when I saw him waiting on the other

side of the gate,” she said.Their time in France was

enjoyable, and they were able to travel a lot and experience many cultures, she added.

When Gerald got out of the Army, they decided more schooling was in order, and they adopted their first three children before he finished his engineering degree at Utah State University.

When they moved to Cedar City they built their home on 300 East, just down from 600 South. It was the first home on the block, and they have lived their 44 years.

She has had great experiences with her family and loves to spend time with them at their cabin on the mountain. Before building the cabin, when her children were growing up, they first camped in a tent, then a trailer, and always took a guitar and harmonica along, she said.

In addition to raising her children, and other children who needed her, Jeanette worked in the financial aid office at Southern Utah State College (now SUU) for 14 years and spent several years working at KSUB. She taught piano lessons for about 10 years, mentoring dozens of Cedar City children.

“She was patient and fun-loving, and encouraged everyone to never give up,” Annie said.

Jeanette also encouraged her children to pursue musical interests and they all played instruments. Karrie and Annie particularly were talented singers, their mother said.

In 1996 Jeanette faced one of the greatest challenges

of her life, when she lost her daughter Lori to cancer. She has had multiple experiences with cancer, beating both thyroid cancer and melanoma herself, but Lori was not so lucky.

“(Jeanette) felt the pain and burden that her daughter suffered right along beside her,” Annie said.

“She was Lori’s nursemaid and companion, with angels assisting her, until that April morning 15 years ago when she had to say goodbye – for now,” Annie added.

Jeanette said losing Lori was even more difficult

because her daughter left her own small children behind.

“She was a very special gal,” she said of her daughter, and added that they had some very spiritual experiences the last month of Lori’s life. Their faith that they will be able to see Lori again has been crucial in helping them deal with the loss.

“That’s what keeps us going some days,” she said.

Despite cancers and strokes, and many other hard-ships in her life, Jeanette still looks back and is grateful for the life she has been able to have.

PAROWAN – Carey Shurtleff has a posterity of five children, 19 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, and is proud of her family’s military service and love of education.

In her home office, Carey has created a “Wall of Free-dom,” where she has hung framed patriotic documents and photos of family members who have served in the United States military.

Her brother was a lieuten-ant in the Army, her husband was a pharmacist mate in the Navy, her son Richard was a colonel in the Air Force, and her son Jim was a staff sergeant in the Marine Corps. She also has grandsons in the service, and one of them, who recently entered the military, was so proud to be able to get his photo on her wall.

“I’m very proud,” she said.Carey has worn a flag pin

for years, and flown the flag in her yard every day from

sunrise to sunset, which she pledged to do when her sons joined the service. She flies the flag on the flagpole from the old Iron County courthouse, which has special meaning for her and she is grateful to have in her yard.

Carey currently serves as president of the American Legion Auxiliary, which is just one way she shows her continued support for the U.S. Armed Forces.

Just as she has supported the men in her life in their military service, she has also supported them in the scouting program.

“Scouting is very precious to me,” she said.

Her husband, Clyde, was involved in scouting for 40 years and was once a scout master. While serving on a scouting committee, in 1979, he went on a hike with the boys during which he had a heart attack and passed away. At that difficult time in her life, Carey moved away from California and back to Parowan.

“It was good to come home,” she said.

Carey was born and raised in Parowan, on the same corner where her home is now. She was born to Joseph E. Ward and Lily Dale Matheson Ward, one of eight children. She had one brother and six sisters and they all lived in a four-room adobe house.

She had many wonderful experiences as a child and continually benefited from the goodness and kindness of other Parowan residents, instilling in her a passion for the community and a desire to give back.

After graduating from Parowan High School, she received a scholarship for a quarter at Brigham Young University, which was $75 for her tuition and books.

At BYU, she met Clyde, and they were married in 1949. They lived in a few different communities in Utah, before moving to California, where they would spend the next 20 years until Clyde’s death.

Clyde was a school teacher and principal. In Monticello, Utah, Carey taught school on a special certificate and in California she taught at a private school. They lived in both Chatsworth and Santa Barbara, Calif.

In addition to raising their own kids, Carey and Clyde welcomed a foreign exchange student from Thailand into their home, and she took care of 22 newborn babies from the time they were born until they could be placed with adoptive families. She had one for three months, and though she missed them when homes were found,

she knew they were going to families that would love them.

She also played the role of mother for Indian placement students and provided a place to stay for full-time LDS mis-sionaries and, at one point, her brother and his family.

When Clyde passed away, their children – Richard, Jim, Mary Gai, Russell, and John – were grown, with the youngest being 18.

Carey said it was important to her that her children learn how to work, take responsibil-ity for their own decisions, and be taught to take care of themselves.

Two of her children have followed in their parents’ footsteps and become school teachers. Jim, her second child, is a popular teacher at Parowan

High School and Mary Gai is a teacher in Sandy.

Richard is currently living in Paris, working for Brinks Corporation’s European oper-ation, Russell is in West Jordan and works for Little Caesar’s Pizza, building their stores, and John works for BYU with the school’s traveling groups. As of last week he was in Moscow and he has been all over the world.

Carey gets to see all of her children at least once a year, despite their distance, she said. Richard’s family always comes and stays for Christmas, and the rest of the family visits around the holiday as well. It is the most special time of the year for her, she said.

She also gets a lot of calls from her kids and grandkids

when they can’t be there, which is nice, she said.

“They’re so good to me,” Carey said.

In addition to being a won-derful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Carey is a valuable asset to the com-munity of Parowan. She works at the visitor center, where she started as a volunteer, has been involved with the Daughters of Utah Pioneers for years, served a term on the city council, and has served on various board such as the library board, the cemetery board and the Parowan Heritage Foundation.

Her son Jim said she has always been willing to serve and do whatever is needed.

“I just think that her con-cern for other people is her big thing,” he said.

ENOCH – At 90 years old, Hilda Grimshaw still lives on the same property her husband’s family settled about 100 years ago, and six of her nine children have stayed in Enoch – most of them in the same neighborhood.

Hilda was originally a Holyoak from Parowan, but moved to Grim-s h a w v i l l e when she married her h u s b a n d , Henry Grim-shaw. Grim-shawville has since been encompassed by Enoch, but Hilda’s home is on the corner of Mid-valley Road and Grimshaw Lane, and the neighborhood is still consid-ered Grim-shawville by many.

Her son Vern lives directly behind her. Three of her sons are in her LDS ward and one lives right across the street, but is in a different ward.

Hilda and Henry lived in the old family home on the same land for 28 years, until the house was ready to fall down, and then they built the home she currently lives in just a few feet in front of the old house, she said.

She has watched Enoch grow, and while some people complain about others moving in, the com-munity has had lots of talented, wonderful people move in, she said.

Hilda said one of her daughters lived in Turkey on and off for 15 years, but now all of her children

are very close. Two daughters live in Santa Clara and her youngest is about eight hours away in Black-foot, Idaho.

Hilda’s children are Lynn, Ann, Vern, Jay, Doug, Dorothy, Gay, Earl, and Roger. She had 39 grandchil-dren and 114 great-grandchildren.

Before marrying Henry, Hilda attended Brigham Young University and graduated with her “three-year

normal.” She taught school for a few years before getting mar-ried and b e c o m i n g a full-time homemaker.

In 1945, with two chil-dren and her third due two weeks later, Henry left for the Army. He spent some time in training and then boarded a boat to Japan, but while he was on that boat a law was

passed releasing men who had three or more children, she said. He came back to the United States, but was stuck in Fort Lewis for several months waiting for his papers.

The toughest part was that he was gone for Christmas, she said.

She said one of their happi-est Christmases was shortly after Henry returned from the Army. He had done some tractor work for a man who owed him $40, which was a good amount of money then, and they needed it badly.

They were counting on the $40 for Christmas, but just before the holiday he told them he couldn’t pay. Hilda’s mother loaned her $15 and somehow, it ended up being one of their happiest times, she said.

In addition to raising her nine children, over the years Hilda par-ticipated in the Native American placement program and had four different youth live with her. The last one was with the family five years, she said.

Hilda and Henry worked hard to get by, and early in their marriage Henry invented a “cement ditcher,” which he welded together out of a bunch of metal, she said. People paid him to dig their irrigation ditches with his machine, but when regulations came into place for irrigation ditches he became a water well driller and did that for a long time.

Hilda said in raising her children, she wanted them to be honest, good citizens, and she feels they are all good citizens, which she is grateful for.

“I was thankful for my freedoms and I wanted them to be thankful for theirs,” she added.

Most of her children have also remained very active in the LDS church and several of her daugh-ters have been stake Relief Society or Young Women presidents.

Hilda has been very dedicated to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and traveled on four missions with Henry. They went to the Atlanta Temple twice, the Washington, D.C. temple visitor center, and proselyted in Sacramento, Calif. They also served seven years in the St. George Temple.

Henry passed away in 1997.Hilda’s hobbies basically have

been making things beautiful, as she is an excellent flower and vegetable gardener and has made many wonderful quilts. She used to make wedding cakes as well, and

has photos of some very intricate cakes she made.

She is also a painter, and enters her paintings in the Iron County Fair almost every year. She has won numerous ribbons and particularly

likes to paint birds and landscapes. Hilda has been painting for some time, and used to work primarily with oil paints. When she was 85 though she decided to try water-color and soft pastel and has done many beautiful paintings in all three mediums.

In recent years, Hilda continues to garden and paint, and she loves spending time with her family at her cabin, about six miles up Parowan Canyon. She inherited the land and the cabin was finished in 2008, she said.
