GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS!!

I would personally like to thank all the volunteers for their time and dedication to our North Rich County RSVP team. As a volunteer, it is not about getting recognition, it is about enabling ourselves to help others in a selfless way. I have been fortunate to coordinate the efforts of this dedicated team for 6 months now. We are a cheerful dedicated group of volunteers, which makes a difference in our community no doubt.

I am mentioning their names here to thank them for their help in service. This coming year will be a new challenge for us as our parent/host group steps out of the picture at the end of March. It is our goal to gather speed and size to continue doing the work we do.  The below volunteers involvement has helped us grow, learn new ways of service, provided a fun atmosphere and strengthened many personal relationships with others.

Names are not listed in any particular order, I'm quickly noting their names and their city and trying to get this article to Bess for publication in this weeks paper.

Tracey Horsley: Laketown

Kris Batty: Laketown

Betty Mills: Laketown

Carmen Madsen: Garden City

Bess Huefner: Garden City

Louann Christiansen: Garden City

Dawn Brady: Garden City

Iris Niesen: Garden City

Chris Smoot: Garden City

Barbara Turnbow: Garden City

We all have gone through training, are background checked and are here to serve. I am anticipating opening up for new volunteers later this year once we transition away from Sunshine Terrace. There will be several ways of volunteering, so if you are interested we will be glad to have you join us. I will get the word out. You can always contact myself, perhaps we can utilize you prior to then.

I would also like to thank Hannah Cragun from Sunshine Terrace for providing this opportunity to us, and getting things going. We will miss her involvement as we know it.

Happy New Year to all!

 

 

here's some  volunteering food for thought.......

 

·        Gain confidence. Volunteering can help you gain confidence by giving you the chance to try something new and build a real sense of achievement.

·        Make a difference. ...

·        Meet people. ...

·        Be part of a community. ...

·        Learn new skills. ...

·        Take on a challenge. ...

·        Have fun!

Obituary for Dean Warren Davis

 


Dean Warren Davis was born March 3, 1944, in Pocatello, ID, to Ray McKay Davis and Naomi Magdalene Fisher. On Saturday, December 18, 2021, he died at his home in an accident on his beloved John Deere tractor. Dean attended schools in Bear Lake County, Idaho, and graduated from Montpelier High school in 1962. He worked hard from an early age, which helped him serve a three-year mission in Switzerland, where he developed a genuine love for the people and Swiss cheese. He spoke fluent German and four other languages that enabled him to converse and navigate the world as he worked in
the Oilfield. He worked in the Syrian Desert, the North Slope of Alaska, and many places in the lower 48 states and always brought home stories to tell.
Dean attended Utah State University and graduated in 1969. It was there that he met his first wife,Sherrie Mortenson. They were married in 1966. To this union, seven children sat at the family table. Laura (Mike) Limb, Anne Marie Johnson, Cynthia (Nick) Wamsley, Amy (Dave) Jensen, Jaclyn (Kirk) Nielsen, Jacob (Christa), and Jared (Hailey). He had 24 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Dean and Sherrie divorced in 2002.
Dean met, Lonna Robison and they were married on May 3, 2003. She brought nine
more children to the family table. Erica (Lanny) Griggs, Shelley (John) Wooton, Sharon (Garth) Wagstaff, Anitra (Rich) Ritchie, Nathan (Kay) Robison, Carina (Gaspar) Velarde, Ryan (Noelle) Robison, Alisha (Adam) Flud, and Jessica (Dylan) Field. They added 35 more grandchildren.
Dad spent a lifetime of service, learning new things, restoring old things, telling stories, and working hard. He often spoke of his love of the farm and his Granddad Roy Robison. We are confident that his reunion with him was very tender. As much as with his sweet mother, Naomi. She always called him her “DD.”
Dad loved people. Dad would not want us to shed a tear for him, but instead find someone to serve, visit, or lend a hand.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Judy Petersen and her husband Duane, his brother Gregg, and two grandsons, Waylon Jensen, and Charles Jackson Nielsen.
On Tuesday, December 21, 2021, a viewing was be held from 6-8 pm at Schwab/Matthews Mortuary in Montpelier, Idaho. The funeral services were Wednesday, December 22, 2021, at 11:00 am at the Georgetown, Idaho LDS chapel, with a viewing from 10:00-10:45 prior to services

Emergency Services by Joey Stocking (EMS)


About 9 years ago my one and only child at the time started having some difficulty breathing. He started to cough a bit, then after a while he started to wheeze. My wife and I didn't have medical training nor did we know how to deal with the situation. We had only lived full-time in Bear Lake for a year or two and had never stopped to think what we would do if we had a medical emergency.

Our son vomited after choking on mucus build up so we decided we had to do something so we took our son over to the clinic in Garden City and got checked in and put in a room. The medical provider walked into the room and took one look at my son and calmly but urgently told a nurse to call for an ambulance. My son had developed blueish lips and was starting to really suck for air. The ambulance arrived and urgently headed to Logan with my wife and son onboard. All alone I drove myself down kicking myself for not recognizing a serious situation and offered up many prayers along the way.

The ambulance personnel took wonderful care of my son. He got to the hospital, got all the help he needed and everything turned out okay.

After the incident I started to think about that situation.

I felt grateful. Grateful to people with medical knowledge that effectively saved my son’s life. But then on top of that I learned that the ambulance workers were all volunteers. It blew my mind! I didn't even know we had ambulances stationed in our county, let alone people that left work or families to run to get an ambulance to help people, without any monetary compensation.

I also felt stupid. I didn’t know my child was in the early stages of respiratory distress. I didn't know that without intervention my child might not have made it. I cried. I was supposed to protect him, but I didn't know any better. I decided that as soon as I could I wanted to get medical training. Roughly 3 years later I decided to become an EMT and join those other Rich County Ambulance personnel. Why? For the selfish reason that I wanted to know how to help my family should something happen to them, but I also wanted give back and help the EMTs who had helped me. I felt I owed it to them. I learned we have some incredible EMTs in this county! Some that have been volunteers for 40 years!!

Things are changing in Rich County. It is growing and becoming quite busy in the summer. Busy enough that our volunteer force has become strained because of the time commitment involved. Luckily it sounds like a funding source has become available that the county will now be able to help compensate these volunteers for their time away from family and work.

My goal with this column is to share a little information each time on emergency services in Rich County. For your first brief lesson I’ll teach you how the EMS (Emergency Medical System) works in Utah. There are five certifications:


·        Emergency Medical Responder (EMR)

·        Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

·        Advanced Emergency Medical Technician (AEMT)

·        Paramedic

·        Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD)

All EMS agencies work under the direction of a physician called “Medical Control” who helps set policies and procedures for the agency.

For those wondering Rich County currently has three ambulances, all of which are certified at the AEMT level, which means they are able to start IVs, give medications, and offer advanced life support.

Ambulances are staged in Woodruff, Laketown, and Garden City. Currently there are 3 EMTs, 20 AEMTs, & 1 Paramedic for a total of 24 providers. Our newest provider has been on the association just a little over a year, with longest serving provider approaching 40 years.

If you have ever wondered what it would take to help on the ambulance, feel free to fill out this form and I’d be happy to help: https://forms.gle/eFaUGMivu8EH42yWA

Fishing at Bear Lake

· By UDWR


Fishing at Bear Lake continues to improve as the water temperature continues to cool! Boats can be launched at all of the boat ramps on the Utah side of the lake (the Bear Lake State Park Marina, First Point and Rainbow Cove). You can also launch at the inlet structure in Idaho. The structure is at North Beach State Park, at the very north end of the lake.

The surface water temperature is about 50 degrees. Fishing has been especially good for cutthroat trout and lake trout this past week. Some days can be slower than others, but overall, fishing is good, and it’s only going to get better.

Buddy Bench at North Rich

 


 

Avery Kohl had big dreams of growing up to be a humanitarian. Through kindness, she wanted to help the world. When, at the age of 10, Avery passed away in a UTV accident, her friends and family created Avery’s Dream Foundation to fulfill her important dream. Her foundation encourages kindness, inclusion and service to people in need socially, emotionally or physically.  We create Kindness Clubs , and hope to spread the clubs as far and wide as our funds will allow. The focus of these clubs is to encourage young people to be kind by being inclusive of lonely class mates and by performing other acts of kindness. Lastly, to date we have donated twelve Buddy Benches, with plans to donate another eleven in October and November, 2021. 

Buddy Benches have been proven to be an inexpensive and effective method to curb playground isolation in grades kindergarten through sixth grade. There are two types of troubled children, extroverts and introverts. Extroverts are easy to spot and are typically disruptive and therefore get much funding and resources.  Introverted troubled children are quit, spend time in isolation and seldom get good help. In studies, Buddy Benches have been found to be a great tool to reduce the number of isolated children, i.e. lonely, friendless children during lunch as recess. When lonely children muster enough courage to sit on a Buddy Bench, they declare to their playground world, “I need a friend”. This wordless declaration is answered by good classmates eager to kindly invite them to play, to be included. The seed of friendship and kindness is planted and quickly playground isolation decreases. 

The Buddy Bench was delivered to our school on Monday December 6, 2021, at 10:45am.

We had a short assembly where Jasonn & Jennifer Kohl, a connection to a student in our school, talked to the children about the purpose of the Buddy Bench and movement behind it and its proper use on our playground.  

Student's role-played scenarios of proper ways to use the bench, including sitting on the bench when you don't have anyone to play with, inviting those on the bench to come and play and the person on the bench having the right to decline the invitation to play and remain sitting on the bench. Then the bench was placed by students outside at the NRE playground. 

 We are honored to be the recipients of this generous gift. The children have been thrilled to have the opportunity to use the Buddy Bench and are committed to make sure everyone has a buddy to play with at recess. To show our appreciation and gratitude, and in honor of Avery Kohl, NRE will be performing acts of service during the month of December and will be writing their services on a red stocking on our NRE Service Stocking wall.

Cristy Transtrum Obituary

 




Cristy (Michaelson) Transtrum 6/14/1953 - 11/28/2021 Cristy Michaelson Transtrum was called home to our Father in Heaven's arms on November 28th of 2021 in Pocatello Idaho.

Cristy was born on June 14th of 1953 in Montpelier Idaho to Alton and Velma Eborn

Michaelson. Cristy was raised in Saint Charles Idaho where she played in the fields, rode horses, and brought home every injured animal she came across to nurse them back to health.

After graduating from High School, Cristy set her sights on Weber State University and

graduated with an Associates Degree in Nursing. She then returned home to her beloved Bear Lake Valley where she practiced nursing at Bear Lake Memorial Hospital for over 40 years. Upon returning to Bear Lake, she later met and married Robert James Transtrum. Robert and Cristy had three children during their marriage, Jamie, Chad, and Lindon. Cristy's second child, Chad, only needed a body and swiftly returned home to our Father days before Cristy gave birth. Cristy was a faithful and life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She received several callings in the church but none more precious to her than playing the piano in the Primary.

Cristy is survived by her children, Jamie Transtrum and Lindon (ChiVon) Robert Kennedy Transtrum, and by her siblings, Arthur (Shauna) Michaelson, and Carolyn Michaelson Moore.

The viewings were held Friday, December 10th from 6 PM - 7 PM at the Saint Charles Church and Saturday at 10:00 AM - 12:45 PM, followed by the funeral services at

1:00 PM at the Saint Charles Church. In lieu of flowers, please give donations to the Bear Lake Memorial Hospital.

80 years from Pearl Harbor

 

Pearl Harbor Revisited  by Bess Huefner

80 years ago my father, Edward Lee Seyfried had joined the Navy. His ship had been commissioned on August 21, 1941 and sent to Hawaii to service sea planes. He was in the hold of the Tangier checking the clocks early on the Sunday morning of December 7, 1941. USS Tangier was still astern of Utah when the first wave of Japanese aircraft flew into Pearl Harbor. The Utah, which had been converted from a battleship into a target ship, eventually capsized after taking extensive damage from Japanese torpedoes, but the Tangier came through unharmed. When the alarm went off his mate went up the ladder and locked the hold. Ed was in the hold for at least an hour before he was released. When he got on deck there were lots of men in the water and his ship mates were working hard to haul the sailors on board. The water was on fire and a lot of the men died because of their burns. Like many of the survivors, Dad did not talk about his experiences. He did say he learned to pray in that hour he was locked in the hold.

 

Christmas tree permits

 

Christmas tree permits are now available to purchase online through recreation.gov until December 31. Details regarding designated cutting areas, dates and height restrictions may be found at recreation.gov. Last year, the Forest sold 8,732 permits and over 30% were from online sales.

The Every Kid Outdoors provides one free Christmas Tree permit to any fourth grader who presents a valid Every Kid Outdoor pass. Please keep in mind this offer can only be validated through the local Forest Service and recreation.gov site. Vendors are unable to provide free passes. The Every Kid in a Park initiative allows fourth graders to go to the Every Kid in the Park web site and obtain a pass for free entry for them and their families to more than 2,000 federally managed lands and waters for an entire year starting September 1, 2021.

Good Stuff! The Man Who Invented Christmas by John Brown

 

If you love funny, feel-good movies, today’s you’re lucky day.

Because I’m going to tell you about one that will help brighten your Christmas season.

The movie is The Man Who Invented Christmas.

It’s about Charles Dickens, the author of A Christmas Carol.

Now some of you might already be groaning. Please, no, not another story about Scrooge.

I felt the same way. I haven’t enjoyed a movie about Scrooge for a long time. No, not even the one featuring Scrooge McDuck.

So I didn’t want to watch this, but I kept hearing so many good reviews, I finally caved and gave it a shot. I’m so happy I did.

This delightful movie reinvigorates the story with a whole new twist because it’s not about Scrooge. Not directly.

Instead, it’s about Charles Dickens. It’s 1843 and Dickens is suffering financial hardship because his last three books bombed in the marketplace. He determines to write a new book and publish it himself to restore his finances. That book is A Christmas Carol.

Dickens needs to finish it in six weeks so it can be ready for Christmas. That’s difficult enough, but will anyone read it? His friends and publishers keep telling him that the book will be a failure because, at the time, many thought Christmas irrelevant and didn’t celebrate it. Furthermore, the story isn’t developing as it should.

Now the movie does take some dramatic license, but, by the end, I think you’ll agree the message of Scrooge is never more poignant. I watched the final scene with Scrooge multiple times and thought about it for days afterwards.

If you want to laugh, be inspired, and feel the spirit of Christmas, I think you’ll love this movie.
