On Tuesday morning Winnie
Richman observed a badly injured horse in the Double S Bar
corral. He was separated from the
herd and put into a horse trailer
and driven to Bear River Animal
Hospital in Tremonton The outcome was bleak for the horse. After he was anesthetized Dr. Asay
probed deeper into the wound
and found the injury had pierced
the stomach wall which was leading to a case of peritonitis. The
horse had to be put down. Clynn
and Winnie thank Dr. Asay and
the Box Elder County Landfill for
their help with this problem.
Winnie and Carolyn Carter are
both working on Christmas canvasses at art. Winnie will try her
canvass as a Christmas card, and
Carolyn will use hers to decorate
her home.
On Saturday Winnie drove
Clynn’s truck and hay trailer to
Bothwell to pick up some extra good hay that Winnie hopes
will help add pounds and conditioning to the family’s fat steers.
“These animals look good,” Winnie says, “but I am hoping to
make them prime animals.”
On Sunday the ThatcherPenrose Second Ward choir performed a very beautiful arrangement of the Hallelujah Chorus
from George Frederick Handel’s
great oratorio “Messiah.” After
Sacrament many wonderful comments were heard, “It sounded
like the Tabernacle Choir!” All the
parts blended so well,” and “it was
so beautiful!” Carol Larsen is to be
commended for choosing the arrangement that best suited our
choir. Debbie Hudman exhibited
her wonderful talent on the piano
as accompanist. She really provided the range of sound needed
to make the song complete.
