We are happy to announce six young men
of Mink Creek as graduates of Preston High School this spring. They
are: Ty Beardall, son of Tammy and Kent Beardall; Kyle Christensen,
son of Phillip and Krysta Christensen; Travis Greene, son of Chad and
Dawnell Greene; Clay Jepsen, son of Kerry and Melinda Jepsen; Andy
McKay, son of Paul and Terrie McKay; and Austin Straight, son of
Pedro and Avery Gomez.
Our Seniors presented their Senior
Projects prior to their graduation. Ty Beardall experimented with
saddle bronc riding, rode competitively, got a 4th place
and won himself a belt buckle. Andy McKay chose a topic dealing with
nutrition. Andy did some research in the field of nutrition. He
cooked some healthy meals, particularly using varieties of fish and
had a great time learning about healthy eating. Clay Jepsen increased
his horsemanship with equine domestication, which translated is the
training of a horse. He worked with a colt on their farm. Kyle
Christensen discovered some things about criminal justice. Kyle
obtained permission and was able to ride along with our police
officers and learned about various aspects of the profession like
the importance of filing reports and seeing a chain of evidence in
cases. Travis Green delved into the area of sports broadcasting. He
tried his hand at it by helping to broadcast a Preston High baseball
game and worked with stats of various sports and the need to know
bits of information about team players to help fill in the blank
moments when action isn't progressing. Austin Straight researched
the part that the cowboy and his horse played in the settling of the
American West. He checked out Cowboy Poetry and experimented a bit
with it himself.
Angelina Mainini was married to Iyar
Koren on May 20th in Springville, UT, at the home of
friends on Hobble Creek. She is the daughter of Steve and Terry
Mainini. Friends and relatives met in Springville to celebrate this
event.
Kim Christensen took a few days to
head to the northwest and visit Sharon Moran in her new location in
the state of Washington. Sharon lives on Vashon Island in the Puget
Sound. These two women have always shared a passion for gardening and
this time of year was perfect to witness the green and flowers of
that area.
Judy and Dennis Clark went vacationing
to the southern tip of Nevada in Laughlin.. Besides warmer days
that they expected they took a bit of a cruise on the Colorado River
and celebrated Judy's birthday while they were gone. Just a few
get-away-days are great for the soul.
I write the words Mink Creek and it
might give the impression of a meandering stream. Not so, at the
present time this waterway is more like a raging river, swift, wide
and high. Its tributaries are contributing their share. There is
still snow in the higher elevations, even visible from below.
