Garden City Fire District Sept. 16

 Leonard O’Reilly, Reporter

Rich Civic Times         

All board members were in attendance. Two prospective board members were also in attendance to observe and see if they were a fit for the board. One will be selected. Note there is still time for anyone else that would like to apply.


Barbara, the treasurer of the board, gave the financial report and received immediate approval.

The satellite station property in the south end is still awaiting splitting in order to consummate the purchase. This is for future plans when it becomes necessary.

 

Also the purchase of a new “brush” truck (it is a truck with a tank) was discussed and apparently a new one is priced such that it will be the first new truck added to the district.


The responses for the month of August were:      

1 -  Propane leak                                              

4 -  Fire alarms                                     

2-  Carbon monoxide alarms                  

6 -  STR inspections                                         

1 -  Business inspection   

18- Medicals 

 6 - Fire permit inspections

1 -  Marine call



Still looking for that really great person to serve on the Fire Board in Garden City

Obituary-Joyce Hansen Nicholls


 Joyce Nicholls, age 84, daughter of Tom and Rula Hansen, passed away at her home surrounded by her loving family.  Joyce was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother.  She was a beautiful, kind, loving, and sweet woman, with a touch of sass that made her unforgettable.

Joyce shared a lifelong love with her best friend and husband, Arden, a love that transcends this world and will last for all eternity.  Her greatest joy was spending time with her children, grandchildren, and extended family, making precious memories with them.

She grew up in Bear Lake, a place that always held a special spot in her heart, and where she loved to return whenever she could.  Fishing, hunting and cooking/baking are just a few of the things she loved to do.  Joyce also had a passion for looking her best, always dressed to impress with style and grace.

She taught all who knew her the true meaning of unconditional love and kindness, leaving a lasting impact on her family and friends.  Joyce will be missed beyond comprehension by those whose lives she touched.

Her legacy of love, kindness, and grace will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

Constitution Week Sept. 17-23


The United States Constitution, America’s most important document, stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties, freedoms and inalienable rights. And, Constitution Week is celebrated annually during the week of September 17-23 to commemorate its history, importance, and bring attention to how it serves still today.

This celebration of the Constitution was started by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, DAR petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into public law on August 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The DAR has also erected a structure that is built in tribute to the Constitution of the United States. DAR Constitution Hall, which is a performing arts center, opened in 1929.

The aims of the Constitution Week celebration are to:

  • Emphasize citizens' responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution.
  • Inform people that the Constitution is the basis for America's great heritage and the foundation for our way of life.
  • Encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.

Constitution Week is a great time to learn more about this important document and celebrate the freedoms it gave us. 

Bells Across America is an annual celebration of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Participants gather to ring bells, much as the church bells of Philadelphia rang out when the U.S. Constitution was first signed at 4 pm on September 17, 1787.
