Nisson are four the the 16 Washington County students who attended American Legion Auxiliary girls state in June Monique Williams and Sydney Losser were all elected to office at ALA girls state camp GEORGE — The next generation of government leaders got a crash course in democracy at the American Legion Auxiliary Utah Girls State camp The Washington County ALA sent 14 girls representing at least six local high schools to the event held at Weber State University June 6-10 According to the Utah Girls State webpage Girls State is the country’s premiere summer youth program designed to develop leadership and promote civic responsibility in young women Judy Oar is the Girls State chairman with ALA Unit 90 in St she said that ALA units across the nation conduct the five-day “To teach democracy in action to 17-year old girls selected for their scholarship She went on to describe that the Girls State camp is set in a collegiate atmosphere “A mock trial is always fun for the girls,” Oar wrote “They return home with an appreciation of their country democracy and the sacrifices of our veterans plus a love of Old Glory.” a rising senior at Desert Hills High School was among the Washington County students who attended the camp “You get there and you’re assigned into cities and counties The cities and counties are named after former governors so mine was Walker City,” she said Everyday we were mostly at the Student Union “There were a lot of really interesting speakers so they talked about perseverance and having confidence,” Losser added The students elected officers at each level of their mock governments Then there were special state positions that only one person could fill “I got to know a lot of the girls in our city and was elected to be secretary for the city and county,” Losser said “I knew I wanted a state position so my goal was focused on meeting more people at the beginning of the week so they’d know who I was when I ran Friday for a state position.” Losser said she gave a speech at the mock convention and spoke at “whistle stop” rallies She said her speeches were often about “veterans and our country and how to carry yourself.” Her vigorous campaigning resulted in her election to Attorney General That means Losser gets to come back to Girls State next year to perform that role so I’ll go back and help run it and do certain jobs that I get to do and help those girls,” Losser said The government boot camp had several positive impacts “It’s important to learn a more cohesive knowledge about what’s going on around you to understand what each (government) position is doing to help you in daily life,” she said “Seeing women in these government posts and jobs creates an environment that facilitates growth and empowers women,” Losser said “You get to meet other young women who are also as driven as you are.” Oar provided a list of the local students who attended Girls State George Academy and Frida Reynoso from Mill Creek

Building 274 South Main Street A Funeral will be held at the same location on Friday Burial will be in the Payson City Cemetery Glad she is free from the pains on this world and in the loving arms of her family a group of women traded sewing tips and fashion advice around a table at Louie's restaurant in Kenai "You know what I've found works real well to make patterns?" Norma Cooper asked her comrades She said a friend working in a doctor's office had taught her the trick it doesn't tear easily," Cooper said Tina Hall said she'd have to try to get some of the paper But the dresses they wore and discussed weren't something you'd find in an issue of Vogue on the magazine racks today they looked like they came from an older time Hall wore a navy dress with short-sleeves and a lacey top Cooper's gown was a lighter shade of blue The two seamstresses are members of the Fashion of the Past club started four years ago by Erma Losser and another member — Promise Rodgers — joined Hall and Cooper for the group's monthly dinner May 19 Losser said she loves diving into the past to create dresses "I love the history of fashion." "You can really gauge the attitudes in society by what women wear," Hall added which are a little inconvenient for modern life reflected what women were able to do when they were in vogue "They didn't do much," she said The club started as an excuse to wear Losser's creations after a group of women wore them for a fashion show "I sewed for three weeks and we had 16 women," she said "I made 16 dresses and 16 hats." "We decided to form a club so we'd have somewhere to wear them," Losser said She started making historical dresses in 2004 "I made a copy of it and wore it to the center and everybody loved it," she said and the other club members have been busying sewing their own with most enthusiasts coming from the senior center but a few are friends the women have met elsewhere "There's about 11 of us now," Losser said but Losser's husband also joins them each month "He's such a good spirit," Cooper said The women rotate restaurants — and dresses — each month Losser and Cooper use a variety of patterns to construct their dresses Although Losser says she doesn't design the dresses she often uses a few patterns to get just the right look "I like both 1700s and 1800s," she said Among the dresses Losser has made is one styled after the fashion of the American Revolution "I call it my Martha Washington dress," she said "That one was really a challenge," Losser said Sometimes Losser draws on movies for her inspiration One of her most memorable dresses is based on a McCall's pattern It is a little more recent than many of her dresses "I also have a dress that I copied from the movie 'Titanic,'" Losser said Another cinema-inspired garment is based on "Gone with the Wind" patterns Losser said her hats are matched to each dress "I buy them on the Internet and decorate them," she said Cooper says she started sewing out of self-defense which means it takes less material to make a dress but more time combing retail stores to find something that fits "I make most of my clothes," she said Before she started sewing period dresses to wear to dinner with the club "I've been sewing costumes for probably 50 years," Cooper said But new members can't rely on Losser's work because she had a stroke in December that makes it difficult for her to sew I'm going to have to hire someone to do sewing for me," she said Information from: Peninsula Clarion, http://www.peninsulaclarion.com The Wixárika — Huichol in Spanish — are the oldest surviving indigenous culture in Mexico who continue to practice their religious beliefs and traditions as their ancestors did centuries ago They live in the Sierra Madre Occidental in the central west of Mexico The rugged mountainous terrain provides a natural barrier to acculturation but their unique culture is now endangered by mining permeate every aspect of their lives: their artwork Three elements central to those beliefs are deer The Wixárika are divided into five autonomous communities each with their own religious authority called the mara’akate — a shaman priest — responsible for preserving and teaching their religious traditions I asked INAH archaeologist Gibrán de la Torre why the Wixàrika migrated to the Sierra Madre region of Mexico 500 years ago and where they came from The Wixárika’s highly valued artwork is created by pressing colorful threads or beads into wax De la Torre said that “the traditional artwork always tells a story — stories of their ancestors The ‘commercialized’ artwork [of the younger generation] does not tell a story.” He pulls up a picture of a beaded bowl on his computer “This was given to the [late 19th-century Norwegian explorer] Carl Lumholtz who lived with the Wixárika for several years It was created by a shaman priest and tells the story of Lumholtz’s dog It was given to Lumholtz to ease his pain and sorrow over the loss of his companion.”   chronicles his five years among the indigenous tribes of the western Sierra Madre and is considered the anthropological and archaeological bible for understanding Wixárika’s history and traditions De la Torre then shows me several photos of traditional Wixárika artwork and points out the prominently displayed peyote plant in the mosaics “The peyote is a very important sacred symbol Most traditional artwork will contain the peyote sometimes along with the deer and maize.”  The Wixárika believe that the Blue Deer god helps them find their way in life but that the deer only reveals himself when you can cross the narrow bridge between ordinary life and the world beyond will remove all fears and negative thoughts the deer will appear and transform your life maize and peyote are all connected in the Wixárika belief system The maize cannot grow without deer blood; the deer cannot be sacrificed until after the peyote hunt The peyote hunt happens in Wirikuta — “where the sun is born” or “where the world originated” — located in the desert area of the Sierra de Catorce in San Luis Potosí This is also the site of their religious ceremonial center following the same sacred path as their ancestors where the shaman ingests peyote and makes offerings to the gods the pilgrims ritually throw spears at it — the heart of the deer god Additional peyote is then gathered to take back to their communities for other rituals Canadian mining company First Majestic Silver acquired rights to reopen a colonial-era silver mine in the Sierra de Catorce environmental and indigenous rights groups have joined with the Wixárika in opposing the mine’s reopening Although Wirikuta is located within a natural protected area (ANP) the Wixárika’s appeals to the Mexican government to protect this sacred land were to no avail De la Torre doesn’t believe there is much that can be done to protect the sacred site “This is not their [the Wixárika’s] land They have no protections under the law.”   grinding it up and selling it as mescaline the writer Carlos Castaneda — then a student at the University of California in Los Angeles — popularized peyote “peyote tourists” have been coming to San Luis Potosí in increasing numbers searching for their own recreational mystic journey The Wixárika are careful to rebury the roots and place offerings on top so that the peyote will regenerate but outsiders don’t know how to properly harvest it it takes 10 to 15 years for the plant to rebound after being harvested “The peyote is disappearing,” de la Torre says “The Wixárika must walk further and further to find the plants.” The only legal protection the Wixárika have is the right to consume peyote as part of their religious ceremonies maybe thousands of cultures in Mexico that have disappeared,” he said “The world is changing around these tribes Sheryl Losser is a former public relations executive and professional researcher She spent 45 years in national politics in the United States She moved to Mazatlán in 2021 and works part-time doing freelance research and writing ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily - Property of Tavana LLC You will be automatically redirected to the requested page after 3 seconds.Don't close this page Wes Losser and Bob Gray are battling for the mayor's spot in South Salt Lake and they each bring a fair amount of community involvement and history with them who is running for his second term as mayor and who earlier served three terms on the city council has said that Gray is a one-issue candidate who doesn't understand the nuances of running a city government Gray is city councilman serving his second term and a former police chief who resigned in 1997 after disagreements about the police department's budget with the city council Gray has been endorsed by the police union in South Salt Lake and wants to give officers pay raises and bring more of them into the city He said his focus has been primarily on public safety but he also hopes to focus on encouraging business and residential redevelopment and improving communication among city agencies One of Gray's major initiatives has been to bring back community policing a system in which officers spend time with residents by patrolling on bicycles or on foot and attending neighborhood meetings to gain support "They earn that trust and build it over a period of time," Gray said "That starts building that partnership the partnership being that the community acts as the eyes and ears of the community so the police department depends on that." Losser has drawn attention away from Gray's support by emphasizing his accomplishments over the last four years "Running the city is more than one issue it's a balancing act," Losser said Losser touted his improvements to infrastructure and said those improvements will lure young families back to South Salt Lake The city has become known for its aging population show that South Salt Lake has a lower percentage of senior citizens than Utah as a whole Losser and Gray both are keen to bring families back to South Salt Lake Losser said the city has relaxed its code enforcement to allow people to build extensions to their homes for more space and both candidates support construction of houses that have at least two bedrooms and two bathrooms we have to offer everything else that Herriman does or Sandy does and provide all those things that they do in order to attract younger families and get people to move in here," Losser said said the city has vehemently opposed closing Granite High School because it knows that families won't move to a city without a good school system Gray campaigns for the job with a civil service history and his family connections His son is married to the daughter of Randy Fitts a former two-term South Salt Lake mayor and current Holladay city manager who is running for an at-large city council seat "I see a lot of things that I feel that I could help with and move forward in the city," Gray said "It's more of a public service than anything."

decided to change up the airlines on us,” Seth said The couple booked their honeymoon trip on Expedia But when they showed up on time at Salt Lake City International “She couldn’t check in,” Seth said about Camille’s attempts to get boarding passes they got rebooked on a different flight on a different airline and at a different time their new flight departed just as they arrived at the airport Camille and Seth Losser tell KSL’s Matt Gephardt they encountered finger-pointing between the airline and the travel agency as to who was responsible for their situation Camille and Seth say they didn’t receive any calls or text messages from the airline or from the travel agency It led to a messy and expensive domino effect of booking and rebooking The couple did eventually make it to Greece but they wound up paying British Airways for a flight they couldn’t possibly make “They said it was British Airways’ fault,” Camille said “British Airways changed the flight – didn’t let us know they say they were told they needed to go through Expedia for their refund “These guys just didn’t want to take any of the blame,” Seth said The Lossers say they did not receive notice that their outbound flight had been rebooked to a flight that departed as they arrived at the airport Camille and Seth decided to call the KSL Investigators “If we would have known that it was that early we would have planned accordingly,” he said The KSL Investigators contacted both Expedia and British Airways on the couple’s behalf We didn’t hear back from the airline “We got there a day late to our honeymoon,” Seth said They might even rebook you on a different airline While they’re supposed to notify passengers that might not always happen if the flight is booked through a third-party travel agency travel experts advise fliers to keep track of their flights directly on the airline’s app (Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Kiara Riddle Yolanda Wood Strange and Devin Losser in Salt Lake Acting Company's upcoming production of "Surely Goodness and Mercy" by Chisa Hutchinson As I sat waiting for Salt Lake Acting Company’s production of “Surely Goodness and Mercy” to begin “Saturday’s Voyeur” was lambasting the lack of cultural and political diversity in Utah a play that celebrates difference and offers an insightful glimpse into another “Surely Goodness and Mercy” is not a perfect play; its structure is cinematic full of short choppy scenes that disrupt its continuity But it’s so well-intentioned and has such a generous spirit and its characters are so unpretentious and down-to-earth that it’s impossible not to like it With the help of William Peterson’s constantly shifting lighting Washington minimizes the breaks by avoiding blackouts and having characters move from one scene into the next The Chapel’s intimate performing space and Thomas George’s eclectic intensely curious and obsessed with the Bible which he carries everywhere (the play’s title comes from Psalm 23) He attends a Baptist church he researches on Yelp where the preacher emphasizes that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Volunteer your time smile and “be a blessing,” he advises his congregation he recruits his friend Deja to join in devising a way to help her “Nobody notices the nice things she does,” he tells Deja “She’s the realest person I know.” Their actions precipitate a

sltrib.com © 1996-2025 The Salt Lake Tribune Independent journalism at the University of Twente UT-alumni can be found all over the world and in all sorts of positions 'nail stylist of the stars' and well on her way to establishing a nail art empire That is how you could describe the career of 28-year-old Jessica Scholten – pardon the gender bias Since the age of fifteen Scholten has been fascinated by nail art the creation of special colour effects and small works of art on one’s fingernails in the attic of her parental home in Losser that had been converted into a nail studio she was determined to become one of the best she got more and more calls to assist at shows or fotoshoots with her nail craftsmanship that looked refreshingly different from the long acrylic nails that dominated nail fashion at the time Scholten conquered a place at the top of the international fashion and show business within a few years She created tiny stars 'n stripes and hotrod-flames for rapper A$AP Rocky (see picture) flew to London to make hit sensation Jessie J.’s nails look gorgeous and worked numerous times in New York to deliver flawless nail styles for the mannequins of prestigious fashion labels at the NY Fashion Week – including world famous models like Doutzen Kroes and Bella or Gigi Hadid my teachers and fellow students totally underestimated the commercial potential of the beauty industry' Not bad for an alumnus in Communication Science who was regularly stared at with pity during her studies because of 'that nail polishing' ‘My teachers and fellow students didn't take my interest in nail art very seriously they totally underestimated the commercial potential of the beauty industry The fact that I was barely on campus to tell them exactly what I was doing in that nail business didn't help either I was only present during the compulsory parts assisting renowned nail artists at big shows - learning the trade from the best And I got good grades anyway; I am a quick study To the slight disappointment of her parents - 'by now they are very proud but then they preferred me to do a master's' - Scholten decided after her bachelor's degree that it was all well and good with the lecture benches: she fully focused on her nail art 'For me there was nothing more fun than that I could put all my creativity into it and was enormously challenged to further develop myself as an entrepreneur - I saw plenty of opportunities In those days it was still unusual at fotoshoots or shows in the Netherlands to have nail stylists on the set LAKWERK now consists of two full-fledged nail salons (one in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam a nail school where new talents are trained and an agency that mediates between (fashion) brands and the nail technicians affiliated with LAKWERK By now there are 25 of them: 24 women and 1 man although she does try to keep time free for loyal regular customers such as talk show host Eva Jinek But time is scarce in Scholten’s life – she has more ideas than there are hours in a day 'People sometimes look at me with amazement when I reveal my dreams and ambitions Currently the UT-alumnus is working on a product line that will form the latest lot of her empire She is also nurturing as of yet undefined plans for a platform for women in the beauty industry because I think this work is grossly undervalued I recently read a study that showed that beauty experts such as hairdressers and nail artists score much higher than lawyers I want to do something about the limited profit margins and the earnings model in this sector People sometimes look at me with amazement when I reveal ambitions like that just by always doing my utmost and by working hard So why shouldn't I believe that I’m able to make many more dreams come true?’ die van 2009 tot 2016 werktuigbouwkunde studeerde aan de UT werkt al een aantal jaren voor het Formule 1-team van Aston Martin Zijn kantoor kijkt uit op het

zijn.’ With the magazine ROOTS we want to connect students and companies We do this by bringing stories of starters on the labor market They talk about living and working in the region companies come into the spotlight of students and students get an idea of the life that awaits them and what opportunities there are in the region Fashions of the Past club members meet for their monthly dinner outing in their historic finery When members of the Fashions of the Past club get together for their monthly dinner outing they dress like queens — or actually as queens in some cases — in elegant finery spanning not only just past decades It serves as a wistful reminder of the way things used to be — when going to dinner was an occasion warranting fine dresses with full-length pleated skirts meals were meant to be enjoyed among friends and there weren’t such things as cell phones to infringe on conversation and enjoyment of company Women looked like women then,” said Norma Cooper dressed in a purple Medieval-era gown with white lace trim during a recent outing of the club to the Bear’s Den Restaurant in Soldotna The club consists of about 10 ladies who participate in parades holiday events and special activities at the Soldotna Senior Center dressed in finery inspired by past fashion trends The “past” these ladies focus on doesn’t just mean blast-from-the-past trends 1950s-era poodle skirts or 1920s-style flapper dresses It represents the history of the clothes in the U.S through 1700s and 1800s,” said Erma Losser the Soldotna Senior Center was looking for new activities to liven up special occasions made a few 1800s-era costume dresses for members to wear on Mother’s Day One was a replica of a dress that was worn in the first Fifth Avenue Easter Parade held in New York City in the mid-1800s The event was such a hit Losser was encouraged to keep on sewing “One thing led to another and then we had a fashion show in the Peninsula Center Mall with 16 women and they were wearing their hats,” Losser said we had a fashion show at the senior center for Easter and a dance instructor with plenty of experience in costuming spending about eight hours working on and off The time frame can be shortened or extended depending on how complicated a pattern is and what deadline may be looming “It depends on how big a hurry you’re in,” Cooper said “The biggest thing is how much fabric they take.” “And how much gathering and draping,” Losser said The most involved dress Cooper has made called for 14 yards of fabric One gown was patterned after Maid Marion from the Robin Hood tale Another is a Victorian Caroler costume from “A Christmas Carol.” There’s one for a Southern belle who might attend the Kentucky Derby And then there are the dresses literally fit for queens — a replica of a gown worn by a Queen of Scotland Losser and another club member attended a Navy ball in Anchorage a few years ago dressed in a replica blue gown of Martha Washington’s and one worn by Eliza McCardle Johnson “We were the Cinderellas of the ball that night We had men young enough to be our grandsons asking us to dance,” Losser said Ideas for gowns come from many sources — history books If she can’t find a pattern for what she wants to make “If I see a dress I want to make and can’t find a pattern I’ll combine three or four patterns,” she said it seemed a waste to just have them hanging in the closest waiting for a holiday to roll around So the ladies decided to declare a holiday once a month dress in their historic finery and go out for a night on the town They meet for dinner at a local restaurant play a round of telephone — where one person starts a message they pass it around the table and see how inevitably garbled it ends up — and draw for a door prize as they are always the best dressed in any room Some of the attention comes from Losser’s husband who works at the senior center and serves as the club’s driver in a dress jacket with tails and a top hat to match The club ladies said they’ve invited other men to join the group but so far Ken Losser is the only one to take them up on their “I was ordered to by a whole lot of women,” he joked the ladies are usually ready to return to the 21st century the dresses would take an awful lot of maintenance “We used to have to wash by hand and to iron that would be a chore,” said Virginia Penson And they aren’t the easiest things to get around in the dresses are so long in the snow,” Penson said “And getting behind the wheel of a car is a challenge especially when you’re short like me,” Cooper said who uses the senior center’s van as a “carriage” for the club outings “I can see why men used to be more polite and offer to help the dresses do confine you from doing certain things like going up and down stairs,” Losser said “They’d put their coat on mud for you to walk on But that was before my time,” said Elaine Fullerton “And women wore raised wood sandals,” Penson said “Could you believe that was even before my time?” Leave a comment Filed under entertainment, seniors Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Disclaimer: This blog is simply a place for me to share my
