“Don’t bother, young man,” said the customer. “It’s self-rising.”

Counting

The teacher asked little Johnny if he knew his numbers.

“Yes,” he said. “My father taught me.”

“Good. What comes after three?”

“Four,” answered the boy.

A nurse says to the second guy, "Congratulations! You're the father of triplets!"

"That's weird," answers the second man. "I work for the 3M company!"

A nurse tells the third man, "Congratulations! You're the father of quadruplets!"

"I work for 7 Up!"

Spring has sprung, but nothing much has changed. It is Sunday, and it is snowing just a little. It looks like we are going to have a wet week. The warm temperatures have cut into most of the snow piles around town, and if we get rain this week, I imagine that they will be gone. It was warm enough that I was able to get our Christmas deer decorations down; the spikes that held them in the ground were frozen. I found this poem by Edna Frohock (1906-1997) that describes the seasons rather well:

"Summer, fall, winter, spring, the seasons rotate as each brings its special beauty to this Earth of ours.Winter’s snow and summer’s flowers; frozen rivers will flow come spring, there is a renewal of everything."

Women in the 1st Ward were treated to a celebration of the Relief Society's birthday. The theme was centered around the many “hats” that the women wear. In addition to the hats that were a take-home treat, the program, the food, the table decorations, and the company was outstanding. Thank you, 1st Ward Presidency.

As March comes to an end, on the 26th, the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints will be having a Stake Conference a week ahead of the General Conference that will be celebrated on April 1st and 2nd. The service will start at 10:00 a.m. and will be held at the Stake Center.

On Monday the 27th will be the showing of the

Tabernacle, and it will be on display in Monroe. It starts at 1:00 and runs till 7:00, all week long. This is a copy of the Tabernacle that Moses’ band carried with them for 40 years in the desert.

The following Saturday the 9th will be the 28th annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Panguitch City fairgrounds. There will be an Easter Bunny who will arrive via the big red fire engine and plenty of candy, prizes and stuffed animals for all. It will start promptly at 10:00 a.m.

If your kid is bouncing off the walls with energy, the Panguitch Baptist Church will again have some really fun blow ups for all of the kids to play on and wear themselves down. This will start around 11:00 a.m. All and all, it will be a fun morning for all. Bring your cameras for some great shots.

Someone asked me to again put in the job service that has fun jobs, which is coolworks.com.

There is something that I have wondered about for the last month. When you are on highway 20 and going up the last curve at the top of the hill, there is a perfect heart-shape in the snow on your left. It is still there, and when new, it had initials in the middle of it. It was perfect, and there weren’t any boot marks anywhere. Spooky!

Well, oil is back down to $65 a barrel, and the national average for 87 octane has dropped down to $3.28 a gallon, as compared to Utah’s $3.79. Utah is always the last one to come down and the first one to raise its prices. It is a sign that spring is here because we have a lot of tourists that don’t have a choice on what they pay. So don’t expect gas prices here to go down anytime soon. It is still best to fill up when you are at a half a tank.

If you haven’t guessed by now, March Madness is underway, and they are already down to the sweet sixteen teams. They started with 64 teams, and two games is all it took to get to that number. Our own SUU was in the tournament, as well as Utah State, but both went down in the first go around. Utah's womens basketball team is still alive after winning their second game. There were over 20 million who filled out their cards with the winning teams on it, and after the first round, there were zero winners. It seems that three #1 teams lost in the first round.

The Lady Utes, who are great with their 3-point shots, really bombed with them, making only two out of fourteen shots taken. They had to go inside for their 62 points. Their center had 29 put away points. The Utes also beat Stanford, the #2 team, in the regular season, and they look really strong.

The NBA season is coming to a close, with five teams who are separated by one game, from 10th to 6th place, in the western league. With many of the starters out, it will be interesting to see who is standing in the end.

Congratulations to the ten Sterling Scholars from Panguitch High School.

They will be competing in Cedar City at Southern Utah University against 181 students from nineteen schools on March 30. It is a great honor in these Scholars' lives to be in this competition and just to be nominated. Good luck to all of you, and cherish the moment.

Much is being written about the meaning of the term “woke.” The Governor of Florida says that Florida is where "woke" goes to die. I came across this article from a Vegas paper written by Peter McMurran, which explains it well. "Woke" is the vernacular derivative of the verb “to wake” that was used during the 1960s. Many Americans were waking up socially throughout that decade. The civil rights and peace marches alone were certainly an awakening. President Lyndon Johnson would have been called a "wokester" for signing into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. President Nixon would be called the same for establishing the Environmental Protection Agency. Many labels, initiated by both parties, have come and gone over the decades.

The majority of Americans will continue to pursue truth, freedom, equality, justice, acceptance and fairness. They will remain unyielding in that pursuit because those democratic values and principles are what makes America great, woke or not. No man is above the law.
