Four years after taking the reigns as Payson Lions Club president, Rhett Huff turned them over to a new leader July 14.  Elected president, longtime Lion and successful former business owner Sandy Huff is expected to continue the tradition of strong leadership club members have come to know.

Ms. Huff was sworn in as Payson Lions Club’s new president alongside its newly elected Second Vice President, Breanne Moore.  Miss Moore will soon enhance her capacity to serve at rank as a participant in the 40th USA/Canada Leadership Forum in Omaha, Nebraska.

Mr. Huff was elected as Utah District 28 T Governor.  He was sworn into his new role by 2016-17 Lions International President, Chancellor Bob Corlew.  The ceremony took place while Huff and wife, Jennifer, attended the 99th Lions Clubs International Convention, held in Fukuoka, Japan, in June.

Last week’s meeting, held at Doug and Sandy Huff’s home in Spring Lake, was bittersweet for the now former president of the Payson Lions Club.  While he turned over the Payson Lions reigns, he was also privileged to swear in daughter Sierra Huff as a new club member.  Sierra is an accomplished 2016 Payson High School graduate who will begin her studies at Snow College this fall on a full academic scholarship.

Sierra’s oath-taking was followed that evening by two additional new members, Jen Nelson and Neil Millman.  Lion Tail Twister Ned Deuel’s charm as oath-giver was in full form as he swore Ms. Nelson and Mr. Millman into the club as new members.

Rosemary Brough Dixon

1940 – 2016

Rosemary Brough Dixon, beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend returned to her Heaven Father on Monday, July 18, 2016, at her home in Payson Utah. She died from Ovarian and Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Cancers.

Rosemary was blessed with a gracious spirit, an understanding heart and a happy, warm and accepting disposition. Her beautiful smile radiated love to all who knew her. A year after she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, Rosemary built a room for family and friends to gather. Each visit brought her joy.

Rosemary wrote the following:

“I was born August 4, 1940, in Nephi, Juab, Utah, the first child and only daughter of John Henry (Jack) Brough and Lois Mangelson Brough. With my birth, there were now five generations living: Myself, my mother Lois Mangelson Brough; my grandfather Ruben Andrew Charles Mangelson; my great grandfather Lorenzo Mangelson and my great, great grandmother Eliza Nielson Mangelson.

I graduated from Juab High School in Nephi in 1958, and LDS Business College in Salt Lake City in 1959. I worked as the secretary to the Director of the Salt Lake City Board of Health and was also secretary for the Deputy Vice President, Neal A. Maxwell, of the University of Utah In Salt Lake.

I married my best friend, Dennis Blanchard Dixon, in the LDS Manti Utah Temple April 25, 1969. Our daughter Malinda Dixon, was born in the Provo Hospital Aug. 16, 1979, and was sealed to us in the Provo Temple. She has been a blessing to us our whole life. We were foster parents to Maxine Norton, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Andre De Pasqual of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Ron John, New Mexico.

I have been truly blessed to serve my Heavenly Father in many capacities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; Including Ward and Stake Relief Society President; Ward and Stake Young Women’s President; 23 years as Secretary of the Payson Jr. Seminary; a mission in the Andes South Mission (Peru, Chili, Bolivia); a Spanish Speaking mission in Payson, Utah; Stake Camp Director at Camp KoHoLoWo; and numerous other callings in Primary, Young Women, Sunday School and Relief Society organizations.

I remodeled a room in my home so I had a place to work on my Family History. I served as President of the Nephi Brough Family History Organization, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Worldwide Brough Family Organization.

My love of Family History took me to England, Scotland, Wales and Switzerland and many states in America.

In 2014 Dennis and I were the Grand Marshalls of the Payson Onion Days Parade. For 15 years I was a member of Jean’s Golden Girls, and had a wonderful time dancing with great friends. We traveled from Hawaii to New York – Branson, Missouri, to Evanston, Wyoming, and numerous places in between.

I was preceded in death by my parents, John Henry (Jack) Brough and Lois Mangelson Brough. I am survived by my husband, Dennis Blanchard Dixon, my daughter Malinda, of Payson; Foster children Maxine Norton of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Andre Depasqual of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and my brother, John Karl Brough (Jackie) of Nephi.”

A viewing will be held at the Payson First Ward, 225 South 400 East, Payson, Utah on Thursday, July 21, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. There will also be a viewing at the Payson First Ward on Friday, July 22, 2016 prior to the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be at the Payson City Cemetery.

A Personal Invitation to the Annual Ute Stampede Breakfast

Pictured (left-right): Cathy Adams of the Nephi Lions Club, with Payson Lions Neil Millman, Sandy and Doug Huff seated behind at the July 14 club barbecue held in Spring Lake.

Cathy Adams paid the Payson Lions Club a visit last night as the group met in Spring Lake for a summer barbecue hosted by Sandy and Doug Huff.  She arrived with a personal invitation to breakfast.

Adams is a longtime Nephi Lion, whose club is holding their annual Ute Stampede Breakfast this weekend.  Ham, sausage, hotcakes, and eggs “made to order,” said Adams, are the main fares served generously at the park at 400 North Main, Nephi.

Lions are not sole recipients of the invitation to dine.  All are welcome to take part in the fulfilling first-meal-of-the-day.

Nephi Lions’ annual breakfast raises funds for humanitarian causes in the local community. The cost is only $6 for adults, and according to Rhett Huff, Payson Lion and LCI Utah District 28 T Governor, who attended last year’s breakfast with his family, it is well worth the price.

Breakfast was served this morning and will resume again tomorrow, Saturday, July 16, from 6:30-10:00 AM, as the day opens in celebration of the Ute Stampede.

Those who knew Terry Lynn loved her for her bubbly and vivacious personality, her Christ-like example, and for her courage and never-give-up determination during her battle with cancer.  The greatest joy in this life was her family, whom she loved unconditionally with all her heart.

Scottish Festival This Weekend in Payson

Olson’s Garden Shoppe Reminds Us To Believe In Tomorrow

Ashlin Alexander is happy to work at Olson’s Garden Shoppe with mentor and friend, Cristie Peterson (not pictured)

New selections expand the possibilities

A blackboard sign near the front entry at Olson’s Garden Shoppe welcomes guests with a message of hope. “Believe in tomorrow,” it reads.  Sketched below it, a garden tool points the way. Sowing. Cultivating.  Planting.  Growing.  And, now, the selections to attain this are expanding as the family owned business adds new varieties to its shop at 1190 West 400 North, Payson.

Olson’s Garden Shoppe’s houseplant department has to be among the largest in south Utah County. Adding to their already impressive collection, a vast selection of new houseplants began to trickle onto the scene in April.  From drought tolerant to tropical plants, citrus trees, ferns, and thick-leaf crotons spillover containers thoughtfully arranged throughout the department.

The artistry of Cristie Peterson, Ashlin Alexander, Coralee Wilson, co-owner Chris Olson, and many others who work at Olson’s is obvious in the charming displays: brightly painted doors, arches with hanging plants and outdoor decorations, an old wooden chair and shelves seat houseplants that have been well cared for and loved.

“Houseplants add to the feeling, the ambience in your home,” Cristie explained.”[They] just give you an overwhelming sense of well being.  And it is interesting, they collect the dust.  Some of them will even take the formaldehyde out of the air.”

Part of the pleasure found in the recent additions by Cristie and fellow Olson’s employee, Ashlin Alexander, is the chance to increase their understanding in field for which they are passionate.  They research new arrivals, then impart their knowledge with customers.

“We have a lot of different varieties,” said Cristie, who confessed to feeling a connection to the plants, even talking to them from time to time.

Among them,  “Big ferns.  Plants in two inches and up to fourteen inch pots,” she said.  Too many to identify completely.  It’s something you have to see for yourself.

Some houseplants are molded gently into gift-giving pots and baskets, perfect for holidays, milestones, or funerals.  Signs, some functional, explaining the attributes of the plant life at Olson’s, others available for purchase, echo the positive sentiment etched in on the entryway blackboard.  A belief in tomorrow--hope--is restored with a visit to Olson’s Garden Shoppe in Payson through signage and life.

A moment, or two, spent in the splendor of the plants that breathe life into their surroundings restores vitality to the senses.  Their caretakers, whose passion for plants and life is apparent in their work, only add to the sanguine experience found at Olson’s.
