Our bazaar was a huge success and we couldn't have done it without all of you! 411SPARR '-Deadlines./Tt Friday at 5 p.m. email articles to chronpro@millard ccp.com ads debbie@rnillardccp.com classifieds shellie@millardccp.com Delta City Library News Rippstein - Jenkins GH September 25, 2013 By Marian Dear Aunt Nell: I was perusing the old, really old, Millard County Progress the other day and came upon a tidbit from the Oak City News column appearing January 13, 1905. It appears that Able Roper and John Nelson had a little challenge concerning an over population of rabbits. The "captains" chose 20 people to be on each team "to fight the nimble bunnies". The loser had to provide a dance and dinner for the winners. The Nielson (Nelson-spelled both ways) team came out victorious by nine rabbits. Roper immediately challenged another hunt set for Saturday which the Roper team came out on top. After all was said and done... "taking a conservative estimate they figure it would leave about 16,000 less rabbits to feed this year". Whoa — that's a lot of rabbits and a lot of bullets. Do you think they might have meant 1,600? It's hard to imagine that many bunnies running around this valley a century ago. If you would like to peruse some old Chronicle and Progress newspapers do a search on Google for Utah Digital Newspapers. Select the newspaper you want to view (dropdown box) and it will take you to a page where you can put in the year, month and day to search or a name of a person or place. You could spend hours on this sight so be prepared. Would you by chance have any information about a fire at Cove Fort in 1902? Will you check and see if you do and let me know? Don't forget! ! ! ! --- Pioneers in Your Attic on September 25 at the library from 3:00 until 8:00 p.m. Bring journals, diaries, histories, artifacts, anything that you have between 1842 -1890 (notice the extended span of years) approximately to get scanned for free. The information will be put on the Internet for access to everyone. Also the scanners will be on hand to put your information, for free, on a CD for you to have and to hold! It can't get any better than that. The Chronicle keeps walking off. It's delivered on Wednesday and by Friday it's missing. It might have to become one of those things that are under the counter and patrons have to ask and sign for. At least then it will be available to one and all. Read the cutest books at story hour last week — Edwina the Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct, Sylvie (very cute flamingo) and What if You Had Animal Teeth. Did you know that elephants are known to favor one tusk over another? So just like a person, right-handed or lefthanded, an elephant is either right tusked or left tusked. The narwhal has two upper teeth with one protruding through its front lip. The tooth on the right is very, very small while the tooth on the left grows up to 10 feet long. Scientists are still contemplating what this very large tooth/tusk is used for. I hope you have cleared your calendar for October 3 so you can be at the library at 7:00 p.m. to listen to a presentation by author, Josh Hanagame. He has written a book, The Strongest Librarian in the World, he works at the Salt Lake City Library and has a severe case of Tourette's. I have read his book and heard him give a talk at a library conference this summer. It was a great presentation and we are excited that he's coming to Delta! This program is sponsored by The Utah Humanities Council in conjunction with their annual Book Festival. Read Karen White's latest, The Time Between, over the weekend and it was good. I was not sure I wanted to read it but started and just had to keep going. I downloaded The Four Corners of the Sky by Michael Malone from Overdrive and have enjoyed reading it on my device. I had never read this author before but think I would read another of his creations. It's kind of odd that I picked these books at random and they both deal with long lost stolen items, famous paintings and a gold statue. Keep those pages turning! Marian Willoughby Produce vlofipkin Patch Bring your kids out and get a pumpkin! Big ones, little ones, white ones too. Don't forget about winter squash, banana and blue hubbard. Cantalope and watermelon until the frost comes.
