Kelvin Carl Walker, 61, passed away Sunday, January 6, 2019. He was born August 9, 1957 in John Day, Oregon, the son of Hensel D. Walker and Alma Ruth Wood Walker.

Kelvin was an avid fisherman, hunter and hiker. His love for the outdoors was indescribable; he was always eager to share his love for the outdoors with others. Kelvin worked for TEP Springer-ville Generating Station for 34 years, where he served as a mechanic, mechanic foreman, main-tenance superintendent and manager of health safety, training and security, retiring in March of 2018.

Kelvin loved to serve his community of Eagar and Springerville and loved coaching the youth of Round Valley. He coached football, baseball, basketball and wrestling. He had a deep love of

patriotism for this country and the military, but his greatest love and devotion was to his family. P.S. he loved his hound dogs.

Kelvin is survived by his wife, Ruth Walker, sons, Shane (Lois) Walker, Landon (Billy Jo) Walker, Kyran (Becky) Walker, daughters, Myndee (Mitch) Crosby, Misty (Michael) Campeau, Marcee (Travis) Brown, Maycee Walker (Ken Lewis), stepsons, Dwight (Kaylee) Stock, Kyle (Rosemary) Stock, Wade (Jennifer) Stock, step-daughter, Rajae Stock, brothers, Farrell Walker, Rex (Marcella) Walker, Scott (Carla) Walker, Tony (Jennifer) Walker, sister, Sheila (John) Cantrell, 31 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Keith Walker.

A viewing will be held Friday, January 11, 2019 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Burnham Mortuary, Eagar. Funeral services will be held Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Eagar Stake Center, with visitation beginning at 9:30 a.m. Interment will follow the funeral services at the Eagar Cemetery.

Engaging Youth to Handle LIFE’S CHALLENGESJosh Drean attended a Round Valley High School assembly on Tuesday morning January 8th, 2019, to remind students and faculty what it means to be a member of our community. After demonstrating his truly impressive beatboxing talents and describing his amazing journey as BYU mascot Cosmo the Cougar, he had four very brave volunteers help him show the three most important rules to being a mascot, and remind everyone how to represent our wonderful town of Springerville-Eagar with the acronym REP.

Rule 1: Keep your head on. Resiliency. No matter how many people try to knock you down or even take off your mascot head, stay strong and ignore the negatives, focus on the positives.

Rule 2: Know your audience. Empathy. Understand that everyone is going through something that you may not be, and realize it affects them in different ways.

Rule 3: Always be the hero. Potential. Recognize that you have the potential to help when others are being impacted negatively, and always work to make that impact a beneficial one.

We all are representatives of ourselves, our families, friends, and especially the place we live in. By following these three simple rules we can make our town the best it can be and create positive, lasting impressions on everyone around us for years to come.

REPRESENT!

Gardening in January?! It’s Never to Early to Plan

If you are like other avid gardeners in our area, you never stop dreaming about and planning your garden - new plants to try this year, seeds that need to be started indoors, a bet-ter way to fertilize, optimal ways to save seeds, finding new recipes to cook from your garden or ways to prepare your herbs for use throughout the year.

There are several key factors to keep in mind when plan-ning a new garden. Although our local areas share many commonalities, it is important to consider the different micro-environments around your property - is there shade throughout most of the day in that particular spot? No shade at all? Does the water run through that area during monsoon? Are there animals around that may trample or sample your garden? Some larger issues to consider are the hardiness zone for plants, water availability, soil makeup, slope, light, and wind. Again, keep each area’s micro-climate in mind as well, and you’ll be happier with your results.

According to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, the Eagar/Springerville area falls into what’s known as Zone 6a, a place where plants can survive occasional temperatures of -10 to -5 (F). This rating means that when you find peren-nials, bushes, or trees for your garden, you need to be sure you choose plants that are rated for Zone 6 or below or they probably won’t survive their first harsh, high-altitude winter. Annuals and vegetables are typically planted every year, so hardiness rating doesn’t really apply.

Check back in during the following weeks for more high-altitude gardening tips and advice.

NASA NEWS The New Horizons mission recently sent back images of an object in the Kuiper Belt. The object has been named Ultima Thule. According to NASA, “Thule was a mythical, far-northern island in medi-eval literature and cartography. Ultima Thule means ‘beyond Thule’– beyond the borders of the known world—symboliz-ing the exploration of the distant Kuiper Belt and Kuiper Belt objects that New Horizons is performing, something never before done.” The object orbits a billion miles past Pluto. - NASA.gov
