Saturday, April 08, 2017Bangerter left office in 1993.Bangerter died two years ago, but his lieutenant governor, Val Oveson, recalls Ferry as an accomplished administrator who led the way on farmland-preservation programs and irrigation initiatives."He was a great leader," Oveson said.Haven Barlow, who logged 38 years in the Senate, said rarely did a measure Ferry supported fail. "He was very effective at getting his bills passed," Barlow said.Former House Speaker Nolan Karras said Ferry's secret was his humility."That's what drew people to him," Karras said. "He wasn't a showoff. He got things done because he was so approachable."While the adjectives "humble," "quiet" and "low-key" fit Ferry's personality, he also was known for his unusual choice of clothing."He wore a red plaid tuxedo to the governor's galas," said longtime lobbyist and former Weber County Commissioner Spencer Stokes. "That got attention."He also used his wardrobe to send signals about key legislative events, Stokes added. "He had this loud, wide tie that had dollar signs all over it. He would wear that tie on the day the budget figures were to be released."Ferry was born Sept. 22, 1932, and grew up on a farm in northern Utah. He graduated from Utah State University and, with his wife, Sue, ran a large agriculture business, raising cattle and growing alfalfa. He won the Outstanding Young Farmer award in 1958 and was the Future Farmers of America's "Honorary State Farmer" in 1975.After he left state government, he and Sue built a lobbying business with as many as 20 clients during legislative sessions.The Ferrys developed an international market for their beef and enjoyed a warm relationship with the Taiwanese government, which reached out to individual states after the federal government no longer recognized Taiwan as the official Chinese government.

He also served for many years as the sports physician for Henry Clay High School and Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. “He was a dear friend to many of us here,” Shriners Hospital said in a statement. “He is truly a significant part of the fabric of this hospital and will be remembered with great fondness and admiration.”Stevens was a founding member and board chairman of the Central Kentucky Blood Center in 1968, and its first donor.Also in the 1960s, he and Dr. Clifton Smith, a Lexington dermatologist, traveled to Eastern Kentucky regularly to provide care at what they called the “skin and bones” clinic, said Scott Stevens, a radiologist at UK Healthcare.Stevens taught at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, was president of the Fayette County Medical Society and was a member of the University Community Caucus of the National League of Cities.He was on the board of the Bluegrass Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and at age 83 in 2012, he accompanied his son and 15-year-old grandson, David, on a 60-mile backpacking trip through Philmont Scout Reservation in New Mexico.Stevens received the Honorary Alumnus Award from the University of Kentucky and the Old Gold Goblet, recognizing professional achievement and service, from DePauw University, from which he graduated in 1951.Stevens grew up in Louisville, where his father was a pressman for The Courier-Journal and a union organizer.

Monday, September 26, 2016Calhoun County Sheriff William Heffington told the Belleville News-Democrat that Godfrey was riding on an ATV with a male friend while on farmland with a group of friends.The rest of the group got worried and searched for Godfrey and her friend when they didn't return, and later found them injured, the newspaper reported.Godfrey suffered a head injury and was pronounced dead at the scene early Sunday morning, while the male was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries, according to the report.Godfrey was a 2012 graduate of St. Edward High School, where she was a cheerleader, member of the National Honor Society, wrestling team manager, and was active in plays and the choir, officials said.She was on track to graduate from college in December with a major in criminal justice/pre-law. She was also the manager for the wrestling team and an intramural supervisor."I just had the pleasure of meeting Brittany last Friday in a session with student leaders, so her positive energy and outlook still resonate with me," said Randy Pembrook, SIUE chancellor, in the news release. "Our hearts and minds are with Brittany's family and friends as they cope with this tragic loss. It is heartbreaking when a young life filled with such immense potential is cut short far too soon."Visitation is scheduled from 2 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Laird Funeral Home in Elgin.
Monday, September 26, 2016Kingdom,” in a publicity photo for his 2014 Green Writers Press collection “Winter Ready.” Provided photoKinsey was “a private person,” neighbors say, who grew up on the southern Orleans County farmland his Scottish ancestors helped settle in the early 1800s. By age 10, he was running a chain saw, tractor and truck when not reading library books he carted home in a cardboard box. Writing came with the help of Mosher, who was Kinsey’s teacher at both Lake Region Union High School in Barton and the University of Vermont.“He wasn’t interested in pyrotechnic effects — his poetry was rough and ready,” Mosher said. “It was his subject matter that propelled him to write, and he was interested in telling the truth.”After earning a master’s degree at New York’s Syracuse University, Kinsey returned home in 1976 to work as a farmer, carpenter, logger, sugarmaker, Morgan horse trainer, printer, and teacher of birding, canoeing and astronomy, all while producing eight collections of poetry.“I don’t consider all this unusual,” Kinsey once said matter-of-factly in an interview. “If you live up here, a number of people have a number of different jobs to support themselves. And I think any writer would recommend young ones get life experience. I’ve certainly had that.”In “Corn Cutting,” the poet swings a sickle as he recalls yesterday: “Between our place/when I was young/and my grandfather’s, ten farms/once ran, poor to prosperous./One remains.”And ruminates on today: “Hired men used to be/unsettled locals; itinerants;/wiry drunks, who slept in back chambers/ill-heated ells;/mostly they’re Mexicans now/trying to live quietly/in a very cold climate,/their living quarter trailers/snow-banked and rusting.”In “The Turkey Butcher,” he remembers how, as a boy, he learned to pith and pluck a bird.“Nowadays a man traipses/his all-in-one butchering shop/from localvore meat farmer/to localvore meat farmer.”As a poet, Kinsey worked and played with time. Take the title poem of “Winter Ready,” which he released two years ago on the first day of spring. It begins in a peat bog in fall, then rewinds to the song of wood frogs and sight of tree sparrows in April, then back to “the glacial plowing of this whole part of the world,” then ahead to a less-distant past of loggers funneling wood downstream and, finally, a present of a lone bull moose feeding, its rack strung with water lily and spatterdock stems.“I noted the occasional leatherwood/shrub in case I need to peel one/in my winter treks, to use the impossibly/resilient bark as repairing thong/for snowshoe or toboggan lash./I’ve had to work my way alone before/and still decline to be at the end/of any electronic leash, though/signals here would be distant and poor.”Leland Kinsey’s most recent poetry col...
