October started out great for Carson Henry Christensen and Shalayla Ann Elliot. They were married on Oct. 1 at the Mink Creek Ballpark. Carson is the son of Bryan Christensen and Lisa Christensen. Shalayla is the daughter of Scott and Tasha Elliot of Salmon, ID. These two met while students at Utah State University. Carson and Shalayla are not quite finished with their studies but they will make their home in Mink Creek. They were honored with a beautiful reception and had a banquet prepared for all who came to wish them well.
The youth of the community participated in a Fall hike into our nearby mountains. They were guided up the canyon by Bishop Paul McKay to the head of Dry Creek and this time of year its condition matches its name. The changing colors of the foliage were a plus for the hikers.
Jeannine Iverson has enjoyed having a gathering of her siblings at the Iverson home of Johnny and Jeannine on Glencoe Road. They are Leon and Sheila Pack of Denver, CO; Patricia Sikes of American Fork, UT; Allen and Velma Pack of the Ft. Worth/Dallas, TX area; Anita and Glade Dursteller from the Salt Lake valley; and Danny and Marcia Pack who live near Delta, UT. It was a time of sharing memories of their growing up years, mostly in Lindon, UT. Since their father was a contractor the Pack family moved around quite a bit according to the demands of his employment. This reminiscing session was a wonderful time for all of them.
Hunting season is upon us and the sounds of a volley of shots become commonplace. Our valley is one that echoes sound so what is given on one side is heard on the other side, whether it is the sound of a heavy vehicle motor, or of an owl making his nightly rounds.
Our deer population has been getting some attacks from vehicles passing through the village. The evidence is the blood that is spreads out on the blacktop of the highway in various places as the “go-to-work” traffic heads out in the hour of dawn, observing the carnage en route.
We can feel the days getting shorter. These dark mornings help us to be glad to have the change to plain old Mountain Standard Time without Daylight Savings. It will be a boost that lasts for nearly a month until it is simply darker on both ends of the day.
