 Why is Bear Lake a different color this spring?


This is a natural occurrence that happens on years where a tremendous amount of water is

diverted into the lake from the Bear River during the spring. Since this water comes from

upland sources and is warmer than the existing lake water it floats on the surface. Because it

has more nutrients than the water in Bear Lake, phytoplankton and zooplankton bloom and

turn the water greenish. It happened before in 2011 when the lake came up nine feet. Bear

Lake is a carbonate lake and in time will absorb these nutrients and they will precipitate out and

the lakes natural blue out will return to its normal color. It is a natural occurrence and it just

illustrates that varied dynamics on this unique body of water.

Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast July 29th

 Donate to Rich County's Largest Youth Program

 JULY 29, 2023 

9:00 AM - 11:30 AM GARDEN CITY OFFICES 

The "Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast" aims to raise funds for the Rich County Jr. Livestock Program to acquire new and improved livestock pens. These pens are crucial for providing a safe and comfortable environment for the young participants and their animals during livestock shows, exhibitions, and educational activities. All donations will be matched up to $10,000 by an anonymous donor.

“Recent severe winter conditions wreaked havoc on our jr. livestock facility, resulting in significant damage to the livestock pavilion. As a result, we had to demolish the building and pens for safety reasons. This setback has put a strain on the ability to host livestock shows, educational programs, and community events that benefit our youth and agricultural enthusiasts. Although we have funds to rebuild the structure, we are still looking for funds for replacement of the pens.
Throughout the event, attendees will have various opportunities to contribute to the cause, whether through direct donations or by pledging funds for specific elements of the new livestock pens.
Donors and sponsors will be acknowledged for their support during the event, emphasizing the crucial role they play in empowering young agriculturists and strengthening the community.

By organizing the "Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast," the Rich County Jr. Livestock Program aims to rally community support and raise funds to ensure the next generation of agricultural leaders has the necessary resources to thrive.”

Obituary-Ivy Cox Peart


 

Ivy Cox Peart was born March 18, 1930 in Woodruff Utah.  She was the youngest of 9 children in the Maud and Leonard Cox family.  Her Father, Leonard died in 1933 when Ivy was only 3 years old.  Times were tough and Mom was raised by a loving Mother in a small log home in Woodruff.  She was always proud to be from Woodruff.


Ivy attended school at South Rich and graduated in 1948.  In her later years she claimed that every day was a class reunion because she was the only one still alive from her graduating class.


Ivy dated Roger Peart through high school and danced with him and lots of other boys.  Mom loved to dance and said she always saved the last dance for Dad.  Ivy and Roger were excellent dancers and enjoyed going to many dances throughout their lives.  They danced across the floor like their feet were light as feathers.
Ivy & Roger were married on September 19, 1949 in the Salt Lake Temple.  They made their home in Randolph Utah and were blessed with 8 children:  RaNae, Roger Allen, Blair, Patricia, Dan, Vera, Janet and George.  Roger Allen and Janet both were born premature and only lived a few days each.


Ivy and Roger spent their lives owning and running the Peart Ranch, a cattle and sheep operation.  Ivy cooked many meals for hay crews and hired hands.  She could whip up a meal out of practically nothing and everyone loved her cooking.  Ivy also worked right along with everyone else haying, docking, shearing and branding.  Ivy was never afraid of work or of getting dirty.
Ivy was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  She served in many ways.  Her favorite being a Nursery Leader and also serving missions in Australia, San Diego California and the Joseph Smith Memorial Center, all with Roger at her side.  Ivy also delivered lots of homemade bread and cinnamon rolls to many people throughout the communities.  She especially made sure that the bachelors and widowers were taken care of.


Ivy was a “classy” lady.  She knew how to dress up for any occasion.  She also wasn’t afraid to wear old clothes and wear them out!  Just because the zipper didn’t work didn’t mean you couldn’t use a safety pin.  
Ivy’s best friend, soul mate and eternal companion (Roger) passed away suddenly in 2010.  For the next 13 years,  she looked forward to being with him again.  During those 13 years, she carried on with grace and dignity.  She dreamed of the day they would be back together, while at the same time never giving up on living life.  


Ivy is a grandmother to 34 grandchildren.  She is a great grandmother to 108 great grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her husband Roger, her two children Roger Allen and Janet, and all of her siblings. Ivy passed away peacefully at the Elk Meadows Assisted Living Center in Oakley, Utah on July 7, 2023.
The family would like to thank all those who helped with Mom through her final years.  Homecare, Hospice and all those who assisted her in so many ways.  Visits, notes and phone calls all made her so happy. THANK YOU.


Funeral services were Saturday July 22, Randolph LDS Chapel.  Ivy was buried at the Randolph Cemetery.
