• 0:06
  Speaker 1: It's often said that the people of Utah speak a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: language all their own. It's a language that's often confusing
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and even incomprehensible to newcomers here in the Beehive State.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So Radio from Hell presents a handi guide to help
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: everyone understand how the natives speak. It's the Utah word
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the day, and today's word.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Is moan, mo an, moan. And now here's the Mayor
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of Mona, Utah, Don Kriddle, and his son Denver Criddle
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: us this Utah word in a sentence. The mayor is
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: just returned home from a meeting of the Mona Town
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Council where the big discussion concerned the town's cremation policy
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and how it affects the Mona Cemetery. Again, the word
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: is moan.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Hi, daddy, how was the council meeting? What was the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: big topic of discussion tonight? Did you have to pound
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the gavel?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Daddy?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Did you have to have the sergeant at arms throw
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: somebody out of the meeting? It's usually that old Bob
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Spooner that caused all the trouble. Did you have to
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: throw Bob Spooner out? Again?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Well? Whereas Counselman's spooner can somewhat be argumented if on occasion. Tonight,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: he was just the very model of how a Mona
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: councilman should conduct himself. I think he was being civil
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: because he wants to get buried on Tapa his wife
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and he wants everybody to know that he's there.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Can people do that, get buried after they die on
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: tap of a buddy.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Well, you can't be buried on Tapa, anybody or any
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: other place before you die soon.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Billy, Daddy, I know that, I just didn't know that
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: you could put extra bodies in one hole.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Well. The Mona Ordnance dealing with the interment of cremated
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: people states that we allow two to three cremation burials
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: on top of a family member who was buried at
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: the cemetery.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Does it have to be a family member, because I'd
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: really like to have my ashes put on top of
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: my fifth grade teacher, I really liked miss.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Olivers it to be a family member. And thanks for
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: not caring enough for your parents to be put on
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: top of one of us.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Daddy, I just didn't want you and Mama
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to fight over which one of you I would be
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: dumped on.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: It'll be that as it may. The real issue at
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: the council was of grave markers. You see right now
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: here the ordinance says that you can only have one
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: marker or headstone per grade. It's old spooner. Well, he says,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: when they put my ashes in there with Elva, nobody's
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: gonna know I'm there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: That don't seem right.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: No, it don't seem right because it ain't right. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the council decided that we will keep it if you
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: have two or three cremated folks added to one grave,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and then they can each have a marker, so folks
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: will know who all is in there. But the markers
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: have to be them flat ones.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Oh why do they have to be flat, daddy?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Because all the grass that's got to get mowed when
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: they get out there, moan, the mowers just go right
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: over the top of them flat markers, moan all that
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: grass as tough as it is. Well, I don't need
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: their maintenance crews. I don't need them maintenance crews making
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: moan in and all that about all the hard work
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: they do.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Join us again some other time, as we examine how
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the Utah natives speak with the Utah word of the day,
