Smile Because it Happened

Josie Luke

The Emery High School Auditorium was filled with parents, family and friends on May 22, as the community joined to recognize the students of the Emery High Class of 2008 during their commencement exercises. The 157 students who graduated were the 45th graduating class from Emery High.

In their time at Emery High, the Class of 2008 accomplished many things, including raising $1,500 for the Emery High School Scholarship fund, building a house, taking 10th place in the state auto competition, taking first place in region competition in boy’s track, drama and girl’s basketball, breaking the record of students taking the ACT with 81 and receiving 167 scholarships. Senior Class President Taryn Baker summed it up by saying, “I think you can see that the Class of 2008 is an exceptional class. Face it. We were great in ‘08.” 

Out of the 157 students who graduated, nearly one-third maintained a GPA of 3.6, including eight students who maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout their high school careers. So, during the ceremony seven students addressed the 2008 class.

The first speaker, Co-Salutatorian McKay Allred related that a teacher recently told him that he looked like Woody from Toy Story. Allred said he was disappointed, because he had always wanted to be Buzz Lightyear, so he could “go to infinity and beyond.” 

He noted that those who graduated from college could make much more in a year than those who just graduated from high school. He invited his fellow students to not to “settle for ‘finity,’” but to go ‘to infinity and beyond.’”

Kirsa Merrell, also delivering a salutatory address, spoke about reflecting as a way of making oneself better.  She explained that reflecting had two meanings, saying, “The first is to look at oneself, and the second is to look back at oneself.”

She said that as a person reflects on what they have done, their goals may change, but said, “It’s OK because reflections change just like we do. In the end, as long as we remember where we came from, everything will work out.”

In her honor address, Katherine DeBry made reference to “High School Musical,” entitling her remarks, “Keep Your Head in the Game.” She encouraged her classmates to not lose focus as they went on to other things. “Now is not the time to lose focus,” she advised, “When you work, work, When you play, play. When you study, study. When you are trying to accomplish something give it all of your attention and you will succeed.”

Honor student, Billie Jean Reed reflected on the many things that students experience “only once.” She spoke of the low status they had as sophomores, taking the AP History test and dressing up for prom, and continued, “Only once do we get to sit here and graduate as the class of 2008.” She concluded with a quote by Joe E. Lewis, “We only live once, but if we work it right, once is enough.”

Jordan Sanders, an honor student, spoke about setting and achieving goals. He explained that the key to unlocking dreams is ambition. Sanders used Jim Carey as an example, relating that long before he became famous, Carey wrote himself a $10 million dollar check, and how after working hard to achieve his goal, he was able to cash the check when he was 32 years old.

He told his fellow students that they had a leg up on Carey, in that they had finished high school and encouraged them to “turn the key.”

Madison Jensen’s honor address was entitled “Enjoy the Ride.” She joked that in deciding what to speak about, AI decided that it was not the best idea to tell students dressed in identical caps and gowns that individuality is the key to success.”

She encouraged students to laugh at themselves and learn from their mistakes. Jensen advised, “We have enjoyed the ride. Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

The last address was delivered by the 2008 Valedictorian Tamra Luke. She spoke to her fellow students about the meaning of success, explaining that though she was recognized for the academic “numbers” she had produced, were they to put her on a basketball court or in an automotive class, she may not be considered successful.

She encouraged her classmates to work hard and have integrity. “To be successful, you have to get up when you fall, you have to take your trials and learn from them,” she said, concluding, “Class of 2008, with integrity, hard work and perseverance, nothing is going to stop us now.”

After the graduates were awarded their diplomas, Principal Gwen Callahan congratulated the graduates and gave five pieces of advice. She first advised them to get a college degree, and while at college, to really get an education. Second, she advised to not be afraid to make commitments. Her next advice was to be merciful, because “a measure of your character is how you treat those who are weaker than you.” Fourth, she said, “Those who get the most out of life are those who give the most.” Finally, she said, “Trouble and pain are a part of life, misery is optional.”

Green River Class of 2008 Celebrate Graduation

Brennan Bigelow

The class of 2008 from Green River High School marked their graduation on May 22.  The ceremony started off with senior class advisor Pat Brady welcoming all who attended and giving some advice to those seniors starting off on the road to the rest of their life. 

He told the class to “Never give up!”  He quoted a poem “Bridge Builder.”  The poem advised the seniors that there are those who need help and that they should render service to not only better themselves, but to help others. 

Leah Swalberg, the Valedictorian, spoke next.  She told her peers that they must choose friends wisely and that the choices they make today will affect their future.  She also said that it is an end of an era, but also the beginning of a new one. Richard Dean, the salutatorian followed.  He reminded his class that they had invested 13 years in their education, and they had survived.  “We are the result of what we have been taught,” he said.  He also reminded them that they are living in a competitive age and that the more education we achieve the more we can accomplish.

The slideshow was next.  Halfway through the presentation the computer began to have problems and after a 15 minute break they repaired the computer and resumed the slideshow.  Often the slideshow is the highlight of the graduation; this year was no exception as it detailed the progression of the class of 2008.

Principal Nolan Johnson spoke after the slideshow.  He said after watching the slideshow he realized how fast a lifetime can pass.  He congratulated the students and recognized the efforts of the parents as their children grew to adulthood.

Bond Hearing Set for Golf Course

James L. Davis

The Ferron Municipal Building Authority will hold a public hearing June 12 at 7 p.m. to hear public comment on plans to issue lease revenue bonds for the construction of the additional nine holes of the Millstite Golf Course. 

The bonds to be issued are not to exceed $800,000 and will be used to repay part of the golf course expansion project.  The Permanent Community Impact Board funded the $2 million project last year with a $1.3 million grant and the remainder in a loan to Ferron City for the golf course expansion.
During the May 22 meeting of the Ferron City Council the council meeting was briefly adjourned and a meeting of the building authority was opened to set the public hearing date.

During the city council meeting itself city leaders also discussed the possibility of the city applying for a beer license for the golf course, which would allow for the sale of beer at the golf course pro shop.  Currently beer is not offered at the golf course and golfers wishing to drink while playing a round of golf bring their own beer to the course.  If the city were to apply for and obtain a beer license, then one of the license requirements would be that no beer could be brought onto the course by patrons.  The fact that Millsite does not offer beer for sale has been one of the most common complaints about the course. The council voted unanimously for the city to begin the process of applying for a beer license for the pro shop.

Also discussed during the council meeting was the possibility of the Millsite restaurant reopening.  An individual from the Salt Lake Valley has expressed an interest in taking over management of the closed restaurant and has made several requests of the city for improvements to the restaurant before he opened it, including the installation of an ice cream machine, new heat lamps, tables and chairs. 
Councilman Trent Jackson said he would negotiate on behalf of the city and attempt to come to an agreement that both the city and the individual could live with for the reopening of the restaurant.

Revamped Joe’s Valley Marina Opens for Business

Josie Luke

For Emery County residents, the Memorial Day weekend brought the grand opening of Joe’s Valley Resort and Marina. The Marina, also a venue for Extreme Adventure Rentals, now features a convenience store and restaurant and will be open Thursday-Saturday, from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m., throughout the season.
Since owners Darrin Hurdsman and Scott Labrum, and manager Jonathon Fauver took over, the Marina has been transformed. They have remodeled the original building as well as adding a 16-by-70 foot dining room with a fireplace, which will seat 60-80 people and a 20-by-80 foot deck, both of which face the south, offering a clear view of the reservoir.

Labrum is pleased with the work they have done. “We feel like we’ve tried to do it right,” he said. “We’ve put in significant energy, time and money to have an atmosphere that is not easily found in other places in Emery County.”

The Marina’s convenience store offers fishing supplies, camping gear, recreational clothing, basic grocery items, snacks and ice. Customers will also be able to use their cell phones in the store with the help of a signal amplifier. The dining room offers grill items, such as hand-made hamburgers, french fries, chicken strips, children’s meals and more. Through Extreme Rentals, the marina will offer rentals of ATVs, jet skis, fishing boats and a pontoon boat.

Fauver commented that although they “don’t want to overrun the place,” they hope to bring many people into the area. “Our primary target audience is first, local. 1A is regional, and we also have tentacles out for a national audience. We want people from all around to see this majestic beauty,” he said.

He also hopes that with increased traffic to the area, will come increased attention from those who could improve the fish population as well as roads. He related, “Our hope is that as our businesses grow and develop that the agencies responsible for fishing and roads, because of the increased population, will take care of those people.”

Fauver revealed that they will also take over the management of Trail Mountain Resort located across the reservoir from the Marina, with plans to purchase the property later on.

Earlier in the month, there was some concern over the low water levels in the area because of the volume that had been released by the canal company, but in the last week, levels have risen more than four feet. Fauver expressed his excitement saying, “It’s going to be a great year for water sports up here.”

To reach Joe’s Valley Resort and Marina, call (435)381-BOAT (2628). More information about the business, such as rental prices can be found at their new website: www.joesvalleyresort.com

After an excellent season, Emery falters offensively in playoffs

Josie Luke

Without the offensive productivity that had marked the Emery Spartan Softball Team’s excellent play during the season, the Spartans struggled in the postseason, scoring a total of eight runs in four games, a total they had reached or exceeded in a single game 13 times during the regular season.

Emery still won two of the four state playoff games they played, but exited from the scene much earlier than had been expected. In their quarterfinal game on Thursday, May 15, the Spartans fell to the Uintah Utes 5-3, putting the team in the consolation bracket, still with a chance to fight back into the tournament.

The team played Morgan later that day and pulled out a hard fought victory by a score of 3-2, but after giving up six runs in the first inning of their Friday game against Union, and unable to produce runs, the Spartan’s season ended.

The quarterfinal game matched Emery with Uintah, who had beat the Spartans in their first game of the season, 15-11. Emery scored first on a single by Candice Norton, which brought in pitcher Leslee Lake, who had two doubles in the game. Uintah evened the score in the bottom of the second and scored two more to take the lead in the fifth.

Emery tied the game again in the top of the sixth. The leadoff batter, Keera Allred reached first on a single, followed by a single by Jalee Jensen. Adrienne Weihing tried to advance Allred with a bunt, but on a fielder’s choice, Allred got out. Lake then hit her second double, which brought in her two teammates.

With the score tied in the seventh, the Uintah pitcher belted a two-run homerun to put the Utes on top for good. Unable to mount a rally in the seventh, the Spartans dropped into the consolation bracket.

Against Morgan, Emery started the game with three strait singles by Jensen, Weihing and Chelsea Skinner, scoring one run. They added two more runs in the fourth on three more singles, this time by Whitney Allen, Norton and Jensen.

The Spartans held their opponents scoreless until the fifth inning, when they gave the Trojans their only two runs of the game, which ended with a score of 5-2. Jensen and Norton both had a good game for Emery. Jensen went three-for-four, with two RBIs, and Norton also had two singles in the game.

Friday brought the team a match-up with the Union Cougars, a team Emery hadn’t played before. Facing excellent pitching and having given up six runs on five hits in the first inning, the Spartans found themselves in a deep hole they were hard pressed to pull out of.

They placed tough defense through the rest of the game, but couldn’t buy a hit. Allred gamely kept the Cougar’s pitcher from scoring a no-hitter, slapping a single to right field in the sixth inning, but the Spartans were shut out, 7-0.

Though the state playoffs proved disappointing for the Spartans, the team played high-quality ball throughout the season. Emery pitcher Leslee Lake proved herself as a formidable challenge to opponents on the field and also qualified for the 3A Academic All-State team.

Emery’s season ends with heartbreaking loss

Josie Luke

Two unearned runs in the first inning proved to be just enough for the Wasatch Wasps to edge the Emery Spartans out of the 3A State Baseball Tournament on May 15.

The Spartans rapped two more hits than their opponents, but of nine runners to reach base, only Brett Mecham was able to score on a single off the bat of Ryne Jones. Emery Coach Jimmy Jones summed up the loss saying, “We just couldn’t get that one big hit to put us on top.”

Emery had a chance to score a run in the top of the first inning when, after being walked, Gatlan Huntington reached second base on Ryne Jones’ first single of the game. With one out and Huntington on second, the Wasps managed to retire the next two batters, stranding Huntington.

In the bottom of the first, the leadoff batter for Wasatch reached base on an Emery error, and the second batter tapped a sacrifice bunt to advance the runner. Then after the runner advanced though the next batter got out, the fourth batter hit a single bringing in the first Wasatch run. Another unearned run came home before Emery managed the third out of the inning.

Down 2-0, the Spartans held the Wasps scoreless through the next five innings, but struggled to score a run. The fifth inning brought Emery their next good chance, but although three batters reached base, two were tagged out on a fielder’s choice. Emery also advanced a runner, Addison Collard, to third in the sixth inning, but again, couldn’t bring him in to score.

The seventh inning began with the Spartans still trailing by two, hoping for an opportunity to score. The first batter, Derrick Allred, reached first base on the third error by the Wasps, and Brett Mecham followed that up with a single. Then with one out, Jordan Gee reached first, but Allred was tagged out, leaving runners on first and second for Emery.

Emery finally managed their first run of the game when Ryne Jones came to the plate and hit his team-high third single of the game, bringing Mecham in to score. Down only one, but with two outs, the next Emery batter hit the ball, but unfortunately for the Spartans, the ball was hit to the Wasatch first-baseman, ending the game and the season for Emery.

After starting the season with a 3-7 record, the Spartan baseball team exhibited their toughness, fighting to end the season with a record of 11-11, winning eight of their last 12 games. They also should be proud that after losing in the first round of the state playoffs, they didn’t throw in the towel; they scored 15 runs in the win against Morgan.               

Congratulations to Skyler Jensen, outfielder and pitcher for the Spartans, who was one of 10 players selected to the 3A Academic All-State Team.

Gas Prices Creating Life Changes

James L. Davis

You can’t help but notice the price of gas at the pump and where you used to search the signs for gas prices that were dropping, today you find yourself searching for some place, anyplace where gas prices aren’t rising.

Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any.  What used to be a source of idle conversation, has become a source of strained debate and constant stress.  People are worrying and the constant onslaught from the media weighing in on how much worse things are going to get, certainly doesn’t help the collective mood of the country.

Things could certainly get worse.  In an article in Slate Magazine by Robert Bryce the author tells America to relax, while the prospect of $4 a gallon gas might send a shiver up America’s spine, for the rest of the world, $4 a gallon gasoline is a steal.

“When measured on an inflation-adjusted basis, the current price of gasoline today is only slightly higher than it was in 1922. According to the Energy Information Administration, in 1922, gasoline cost the current-day equivalent of $3.11.  Today, according to the EIA, gasoline is selling for about $3.77 per gallon, only about 20 percent more than 86 years ago,” Bryce said in his article.

While that statement may certainly be true, it probably doesn’t help much for those who are watching their monthly fuel expenses gobble up money for everything else.  But if that statement in his article is true, then also true is Bryce’s contention that Congress’ long list of proposals to do something about fuel prices amount to hogwash.  Oil prices are controlled by supply and demand, and while it is possible that the oil cartels could pump more oil, it is also equally possible that the increased oil production would be swallowed up by an increased demand.  The fact is that America, long the largest oil junky on the planet, is now fighting for its fix with a number of other new oil addicts, namely China and India.

In his article Gasoline is Cheap, Bryce contends that gas is dirt cheap compared to gasoline prices in other countries.  “British motorists are currently paying about $8.38 per gallon for gasoline,” Bryce wrote in his article.  Gasoline at $8.38 a gallon in Britain is just one more reason for me to love being an American.

But with news reports that gasoline in America will hit a national average of $4 a gallon by the end of the month and gloomy reports that gas could match the British price by the end of the year, it makes you pause to consider just how much traveling you will be doing.

Over the Memorial Day weekend estimates were that Americans would travel less than normal and those of us who did travel would travel shorter distances.  So, in a real sense, we are becoming a nation of homebodies.

But is that necessarily bad?  While those who must travel for their livelihood are faced with some grim adjustments, isn’t it possible for the rest of us to adjust in some small way to a new reality where travel isn’t as simple as it used to be, or perhaps even necessary.

Maybe, just maybe, with an increase in prices at the pump, we could all spend a little more time at home, shopping at our local grocers, buying from our local hardware stores, supporting our local businesses.

The economy of Emery and Carbon counties are inexorably intertwined; we are basically one economy. But the fact is that it is part of the rural psyche for many of us that when we go to shop, we want to go to the city, to get out of town.  For a rural Emery County couple, date night includes a trip to Wal-Mart.   Price, for the most part, is the City for Emery County residents.

But for Carbon County residents, the City is over the mountain.  By staying closer to home to do our shopping, businesses in both Emery and Carbon counties can prosper and we can all save a little cash at the pump.

With the increased cost for gasoline, we can compensate to a large extent by thinking smaller, developing a true hometown attitude and, perhaps, once in a while, we could even take a walk instead of drive.

As painful as that may be.
