Friends and family gathered at the home
of Steve and Terry Mainini to celebrate the life of their oldest son,
Mario Mainini. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on July 30 as
he was returning to his home in Richmond, UT, after spending the day
here in Mink Creek. He was 31 years old. Relatives and friends came
from Colorado, Oklahoma, California, Utah and Idaho.
Clifford and LaDawn Jensen have had
two of their children come home this past month. Jeremy and Heidi
Jensen and their children live in McCammon, ID. Kristine and John
Gore and family are on the East coast.
Patti
and Forrest Christensen and Linda and Clare Christensen took some
days away from the heat, vacationing in Alaska. They spent the time
in a cabin owned by Brad and Raone Stuart, Forrest's sister, near
Ketchikan. They had a great time fishing for salmon and halibut.
Terry
and Hayes Carr and their family were up from Centerville, UT, to
attend Terry's Preston High School class reunion. Terry is the
daughter of Larry and Mary Jean Rasmussen.
Cooper
Janke , the son of Jody and Laural Janke, was baptized and became a
member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Out of
town aunts and uncles here for the occasion were Gene and Danalee
Abernethy of Alpine, UT, and Mark and Carla Nielsen of American Fork,
UT.
The
Primary organization of our LDS Ward has changed leadership.
Sustained as the President was Julie Egley, with Wendy Westerberg as
1st Counselor, Lana McCracken as 2nd
Counselor, and Kasi Avery as secretary.
Members
of the Mink Creek Ward assisted at the Legacy Branch in Heritage Home
during the month of July. They also filled an assignment to the
cannery in Ogden early one morning.
A
herd of elk are calling our eastern mountains home these days. They
lounge about in one field for a day or two and then move a bit to
greener pastures. They make themselves at home, it is easy to tell
they have been here before.
Travelers
passing through might be seen parked along the highway harvesting our
wild chokecherries. Others might knock on the door and ask
directions for finding a good patch of the fruitful trees.
The
grain combines are in action, loading up the trucks for a haul to the granary. So far it is looking pretty good in quantity, but the
price is down by half from a year ago.
The
local coyotes are excited about these last few nights of the full
moon stage. Way into the wee hours they are at choir practice.
