The Highway crew
has mended the broken guardrails around milepost 3 on the Highway 36.
It was stop and go for traveling motorists for a few hours, but
worth the short wait to have things set in place, on both sides.
They have also been repairing the shoulders of the road where the
winter weather took a toll. Many thanks for the improvements.
Mary Jean and
Larry Rasmussen took great delight in having their son JR and Elaine
Rasmussen home for the Labor Day weekend. They live in Riverdale,
UT. Having those two little grandsons, William and Luke, around for a
few days added some energy and fun to the Rasmussen household.
Andrew Iverson,
son of Kurt and Margret Iverson, was ordained to the office of a
priest in the LDS Ward recently. Ella Jepsen, daughter of Kerry and
Melinda Jepsen, has graduated from primary and is now a part of the
Beehive class in the Young Women organization.
The new baby
daughter of Bracken and Mariah Atkinson was blessed and given her
name this past Sunday. She is Hadlee Denny Atkinson and welcomed by a
big sister, Timberlee. Atkinson family members here to participate in
this occasion were grandparents Jay and Theresa Atkinson,
great-grandfather Lynn Atkinson, all of Preston, uncle Jordan and
Jen Atkinson of Logan, UT, aunt Shaylee Atkinson of Twin Falls, ID.
On the Belew side of the family were: grandparents Greg and Brenda
Belew of St. Anthony, ID, great-grandparents Dennis and Judy Clark of
Mink Creek and Reed Belew of Tremonton, UT, great-uncle Casey and
Constance Clark and their girls from the west side of the valley,
uncle Destin Belew and Jess Read and aunt Mikayla Holton, all of
Preston.
Jody and Laural
Janke and their children drove up from Richfield, UT to spend the
weekend in Mink Creek at the Bob and Claudia Erickson home. They
enjoyed a last dip in their favorite summer swimming hole before it
got any colder.
Another family
visiting for the holiday weekend were Aaron and Heather Haws and
their children from Meridian, ID. They take advantage of a few days
to spend it with his parents, Marion and Karl Haws.
Our farmers are
in the process of wrapping things up for the end of the growing
season. Combines have been active and trucks loaded with grain,
hauling in the golden kernels to the elevators for storage. Third
crop hay, mowed, raked, baled and on its way to the barn or the
buyer. This crop has been a little sketchy in areas where the
standing water from a wet spring killed the alfalfa.
We are still
receiving jolts of earthquake activity. The last total I read was
297 since Sept 1st, according to the US Geological Survey.
The casual question at the breakfast table now seems to be, "So, did
you feel any tremors during the night?”
The time for
clearing off gardens is fast approaching, one of these first days we
will have a freeze hit and everything above ground will droop with
the morning light. Residents are discussing the canning of tomatoes,
chili sauce, salsa and other related tomato recipes
