Dr. Dyer's thoughts on life

What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside. It doesn’t matter who does the squeezing—your mother, your brother, your children, your boss, the government. If someone says something about you that you don’t like, what comes out of you is what’s inside. And what’s inside is up to you, it’s your choice.

When someone puts the pressure on you and out of you comes anything other than love, it’s because that’s what you’ve allowed to be inside. Once you take away all those negative things you don’t want in your life and replace them with love, you’ll find yourself living a highly functioning life.

September is Constitution Month. It is also the Remembrance of 9-11

 What can you remember about the Constitution? How do you feel personally about the Constitution? How do you think it has changed?


Most of the children born in the last 20 years have no recollection of the events of 9-11 or the months afterward when there was more concern for our neighbors. What can we do to help our community?

Someone with a chain saw could saw the large limb on 250 So. into 2' lengths and stack them.

The trees on 75 North need to be trimmed from suckers.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, ZIONS BANK BRING FREE COMMUNITY SCIENCE NIGHT TO GARDEN CITY Sept. 7

 

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, ZIONS BANK BRING FREE COMMUNITY SCIENCE NIGHT TO GARDEN CITY

The museum’s ‘Soil Stories’ exhibit will be on display at Zions Bank through September

 

GARDEN CITY, Utah, August 24, 2023 – Garden City is the latest stop in the Natural History Museum of Utah’s “Soil Stories” traveling exhibit, featuring the untold stories of the earth beneath us. The public is invited to a free Community Science Night on Thursday, Sept. 7, from 4:30-7 p.m. at Zions Bank’s Bear Lake Garden City branch, 557 N. Bear Lake Blvd. The community event will feature interactive stations, hands-on activities and touchable specimens.

 

In conjunction with the Community Science Night, a traveling exhibit, which is free and open to the public, will be on display at the Bear Lake Garden City branch during regular bank hours through Sept. 30 as part of its multi-county tour across Utah.

 

Soil Stories highlights the uniqueness of soil, which is often taken for granted. The exhibit unveils the process and players who make, enrich, and survive in soil, including:

 

  • Soil samples and soil crusts from across Utah
  • Insect specimens and small vertebrates
  • Indigenous farming tools, artifacts, and pottery
  • Paleosol: where it’s found, and why it matters

 

“We’re excited for Traveling Treasures to come to Garden City for the first time since our branch opened in May 2021,” said Steve Allred, manager of Zions Bank’s Bear Lake Garden City branch. “The museum does a great job making science and history accessible.”

 

Visitors will learn that soils vary in color, texture and smell, and that the organisms that inhabit soil – like cicadas – are just as interesting. One exhibit shows the Indigenous farming practices that allowed Utah’s original peoples to thrive in an arid climate, while another highlights the importance of corn, beans, and squash, and their role in the soil.

 

“In my work studying insects, I have always been fascinated by soil,” said NHMU entomology collections manager Christy Bills. “Invertebrates such as beetles, ants, and snails enrich soil and play a large role in sustaining all kinds of ecosystems in surprising ways.”

 

For more than 20 years, the Natural History Museum of Utah and Zions Bank have partnered to brings natural history collections and research to Utah’s diverse communities. Each year, a team of educators, exhibit designers, bankers, and museum volunteers create a new traveling exhibit that explores a unique aspect of natural history in the state, region and beyond.
