Our skies are full of smoke from
fires to the west of us. There are days
when we cannot see our mountains. The mountains I am referring to are nearly in
our backyards. We will welcome some wind
to blow this smog out. Mink Creek residents
are not accustomed to bad air quality.
Andy McKay, son of Paul and Terrie
McKay, is in intensive care at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, due to an accident on his
motor bike. It happened as he was
traveling homeward on the dirt road between Bear Creek and Station Creek. This report is most likely unnecessary
because, judging from inquiries the family has received, the entire county
populace is already aware, and beyond. Word does get around, Debbie and Jim Harrison
checked up on Andy, they live in St. George. Elder Jimmie and AnnaBeth Olson
had even heard about it, and they are serving a mission in England.
The Fall plowing of our fields is
underway. On the irrigated land the
tractor and plow go fairly smooth. However, on the dry-land fields the ground
is rock-hard. It is like breaking up
concrete. This is just further evidence
of how little rainfall there has been this past summer. The wild sunflowers are at their peak,
another indication of the warm season starting to wind down.
By now those who graduated from
high school last spring have moved on with their lives. Some have found jobs, two are ready to go on
missions shortly, others gone off to college in one direction or the
other. It has been interesting to hear
comments from the college bound group of being concerned about getting lost on
campus, after feeling secure and confident at PHS.
Several of our residents reported
attending the High School Version of Les Miserables recently on stage at the
Ellen Eccles Theater in Logan,
UT. All reports were expressed surprise and
delight at the expertise of the cast members.
Age was no deterrent for the quality of voices or the ability of acting. Laural and Jody Janke, of Mink Creek, were
part of the pit orchestra for this production.
They seem to be sought out to perform on their trumpets in various parts
of Cache Valley.
Weatherwise, we no longer have the
intense heat experienced this summer. Nor have we had a freeze that has wiped
out our gardens, so no complaints.
