Garden City Fire District Board Meeting, Wednesday, July 5th, 2023

Still, no acceptable
housekeeping bids have been submitted. MJM has been awarded the contract to
pour the cement in front of the bay doors on the north and south sides.
Board member, Barbara
Turnbow, stimulated a lively conversation about fire hydrants. This, because
many hydrants were buried this past winter. This brought up the question, who’s
responsible for them? Chief Mike Wahlberg stated that the fire department has
no jurisdiction. So, who’s responsible to check on them that they are ready for
use? The Water Department? City? One recommendation was that everyone
should be aware of the one closest to your house that they are readily
accessible. (clear snow, etc.)

4-H "Livestock Pens for Progress Donor Breakfast" July 29th @ the Garden City Offices
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-Theda Mattson Weston
Theda Mattson Weston was born April 19th, 1927 in St. Charles,
Idaho to Myrtle Mina Bunderson and Chauncey Leslie Mattson. Growing up third in
a family of seven children, Theda was her mother’s helper, looking after and
cooking for her younger siblings. A child of The Great Depression, she spoke of
food stamps and searching for loose change to buy candy to share with her
family. She loved outings to the dry farm with her dad and going on picnics at
Bear Lake.
Theda walked to school every day with her siblings. A teacher’s pet, she loved
learning, getting high marks and earning several awards, including “Neither
Absent nor Tardy” in 1934. She graduated from the LDS Seminary and Fielding
High School May 24th, 1945.
With hair flowing down the middle of her back, Theda grew into a beautiful
young woman. As a teenager, she worked as a ticket taker at the local movie
theater and was crowned queen of the Green Ball, which she made her own dress
for—the same dress she later wore to her wedding.
Theda met the love of her life, a 1st lieutenant and bomber pilot recently
returned from World War II, at a community dance. Theda married George Wesley
“Wes” Weston August 20th, 1946. They moved in with his parents for a short time
before securing a little home with a small wood stove for heat. As Wes was
often snowed in for days at a time while feeding cows along the Bear River, she
bundled up their first child, George, and spent a lot of time at her parent’s
home.
More children soon followed—six in all, an even split between three boys and
three girls. By name, George Terrill, Samuel M, Thomas J, Christine, Alice, and
Shelly. All her energy was taken up cooking, cleaning, washing, sewing, and
trying to keep Tommy and Sammy out of trouble. Not to mention the time she
spent feeding the ranch’s hired hands.
Theda had a gift of making something from nothing. Soil and seeds turned into
abundant gardens and flowers. Flour and sugar became cinnamon rolls neighbors
fought over at bake sales. Bits of fabric and yarn became clothing for her
children, blankets for their beds, and beautiful Afghans, quilts, and doilies,
which she often gave away as gifts. But she was most proud of the rowdy
children who became pillars of the community and dedicated parents themselves.
Theda endured many hardships in her 96 years. In addition to surviving The
Great Depression and World War II, she had to endure her youngest daughter’s
major car accident, which left her in a coma for a month. Her home nearly
burned down and had to be completely renovated. While doing genealogy work, she
and her daughter, Chris, were shot and survived the SLC Family History Library
mass shooting. She also outlived her husband by 20 years and buried four of her
children and two grandchildren.
July 4th, 2023 was her Independence Day. Free from pain and worry, she danced
into the loving arms of her husband and children. She will be dearly missed by
her surviving children, Alice Weston (Kent) Argyle and Shelly Weston Mettman,
and daughter-in-law Cathy Weston and son-in-law Chuck Webb. She was preceded in
death by her husband; George Wesley Weston; children, George Terrill Weston,
Sam M Weston, Thomas J Weston, and Christine Weston Webb; grandchildren, Justin
Dane Hutchinson and Benjamin Samuel Weston and son in law El Mettman.
Viewings were on Sunday evening July 9th from 6-8. and Monday morning July
10th from 9:30—10:45. Funeral services were held on Monday morning at 11. in
the Laketown LDS Church. Interment following at the Laketown Cemetery.
Obituary-Ralph Hanney Eastman
Our
dad, Ralph Hanney Eastman, passed away on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, at the age
of 89, just two days short of his 90th birthday. Maybe not so coincidentally,
he died on his older brother Arlo’s birthday. Now, you see, Arlo is
already in Heaven, so we think that Dad decided to head to Heaven before his
own birthday to celebrate with Arlo and then have way more fun on his own
birthday visiting with friends and family in Heaven.
Dad
was living in St. George, Utah at time of death, but was born in Woodruff, Utah
on July 7, 1933, and spent a good portion of his life living in the different
small towns of Rich County, Utah. Dad was a hard worker with an entrepreneurial
spirit owning many businesses such as Ralph’s Propane Service, a cafe, a
furniture store, several grocery stores, and many other business
ventures. He married Sarah Etta Peart, better known as Sallie in 1951 and
together they had five children: Terry Huffaker, Carla Gray, Farrell Eastman,
Julie Feller, and Jenny Callahan. Dad loved to travel and from humble beginnings
he and mom traveled to many parts of the world and roamed around the country in
a VW van, a Winnebago, and several different camp trailers and motorhomes.
Dad is
proceeded in death by too many to list, but a few of the people that he was
looking forward to seeing when he got to Heaven was his dad William Vincent
Eastman, his mom Melva Rae, his brothers Arlo and Phil, and his daughters Carla
and Julie. However, the person that he was looking forward to seeing the most
was our mom.
Upon
passing a ginormous family reunion ensued in Heaven. We hope Mom had her
sneakers on because after giving her a big kiss we are certain he grabbed her
by the hand and is dragging her all over Heaven visiting everyone who got there
before him. We love you, Dad. Have some fun!
Funeral
services will take place Saturday, July 15, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., at the
Woodruff, Utah LDS Chapel, 180 South Main, Woodruff, Utah, followed by a
memorial service and then the interment will take place in the Eastman Family
Cemetery.

150 years for Zions Bank
ZIONS BANK MARKS 150 YEARS SINCE INCORPORATION
MONTPELIER, Idaho; July 5, 2023 — One hundred fifty years ago, on July 5, 1873, Zion’s Savings Bank and Trust Company was incorporated under the laws of the Utah Territory with a capital stock of $200,000. Four days earlier, Brigham Young had called together a group of twelve of the leading citizens of the Salt Lake Valley to discuss the organization of a savings bank. It would open for its first day of business on October 1, 1873. Zions Bank has operated in Montpelier since 1997, when the branch was acquired from Tri-State Bank.
At the time — two-and-a-half decades after the first company of pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints entered the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 — farms and rudimentary businesses had been established, a few banks were operating, more pioneers were arriving, and families were dispersing across the territory. Because a financial crisis was spreading in the Eastern U.S., Young felt it more important than ever to encourage his people to save money and prepare for the future.
During the July 5 meeting, the bank’s first directors were elected: George A. Smith, Daniel H. Wells, George Q. Cannon, H.B. Clawson, Thomas Williams, T. G. Webber, Joseph A. Young, Joseph F. Smith, John W. Young, John T. Caine, and David McKenzie. H.B. Clawson was appointed treasurer pro tempore. Four thousand shares were subscribed to by 23 individuals.
In a subsequent article in the Deseret News, Young is quoted as saying, “This institution is a cooperative one and we think it is likely to meet with favor.” He stressed the value of saving money: “The interest allowed is at the rate of ten per cent, per annum, compounded semi-annually…It will be found of considerable advantage to those who wish to save money for the emigration of their friends, as the interest is large and sums as low as $1.00 will be received, which, if continually added to, will soon reach a considerable amount, and the depositors will hardly miss the money.”
Zion’s Savings Bank and Trust Company, the name eventually shortened to Zions Bank, would go on to serve the financial needs of businesses and individuals across the Intermountain West for 150 years —– and counting.
“Over the course of Zions Bank’s 150 years in business, we have remained true to our founding, creating value for depositors, the community, and shareholders,” says Zions Bank President and CEO Scott Anderson, who has served in his position since 1997. “This year, we’ve reaffirmed our commitment to cultivating a landscape of opportunity and growth on our Main Streets and neighborhood lanes by outlining our Five Commitments to Create Value for the next 150 years.”
Zions’ financial assistance helped in the initiation of such industrial firms as Bingham Copper Company (Kennecott Copper); Salt Lake and Los Angeles Railroad Company (Union Pacific); Big Cottonwood Power Company (Rocky Mountain Power); and Salt Lake Gas Company (Dominion Energy).
In 1960, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sold majority control of Zions First National Bank to Keystone Insurance and Investment Company, which later became Zions Bancorporation.
Today, Zions Bank has grown to operate 121 full-service branches and nearly 200 ATMs throughout Idaho, Utah and in Jackson, Wyoming. The bank provides jobs for 1,528 employees. It reported $13.9 billion in average loans and $20.9 billion in average deposits, as of March 31, 2023.
Zions Bank is a division of Zions Bancorporation, N.A., a $90-billion-in-assets bank which operates under local management teams and unique brand identities through nearly 416 branches offices across 11 Western states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The company is a national leader in U. S. Small Business Administration lending and is included in the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Financial 100 indices.
