A Mystery Solved

Remains of man missing for 10 years
discovered in Emery County

The remains of a Wellington man missing for almost 10 years were discovered June 6 by a survey crew in the Mounds area of Emery County, southeast of Wellington.

Four members of a survey crew notified the Emery County Sheriff’s Office on Friday that they had discovered human remains in a rocky crevice.  Sheriff Lamar Guymon, Captain Kyle Ekker, Lieutenant Bill Downard, Detective Norm Vuksinick, Detective Bob Blackburn and Deputy Jerod Curtis responded to the scene, where they recovered the remains and searched the surrounding area.

The human remains were transported to the Utah State Medical Examiner’s Office in Salt Lake City, and on June 8 State Medical Examiner Dr. Todd Gray confirmed the remains as those of Ryan Thayn, a Wellington resident who disappeared in November 1998 after going to work servicing wells in the area.  At the time of his disappearance his truck was found but no sign of the man was ever discovered.

Gray stated that the cause of death was a self inflicted gunshot wound.  In the search of the area the sheriff’s office discovered a gun which matches the slug recovered by the medical examiner.  Whether the gunshot wound was intentional or accidental is not known.

The Pageant Chronicles

Josie Luke

The stress, the tears, the time, the hair spray– Pageants take so much effort and only one person can win, but year after year, many young women and girls in Emery County spend the time, the emotional costs and the money to compete for the title of Miss Emery County, Miss Heritage Cays, Miss Cleveland, Miss Castle Dale, and the list goes on.

Why do they put themselves through such an ordeal, and what does it take to get ready for a pageant? A recent tea party held before the Miss Heritage Days Pageant provided an opportunity to ask several people, a contestant, a mother and a pageant coordinator just such questions.

Stacey Gordon, who was in charge of the pageant, summed it up from her end saying, “When I said I would I had no idea what I was in for. The amount of time it took was surprising, but overall it was a fun experience.” She said that the fun she had with the girls who participated made it worth her time, although she hedged a bit at the thought of doing it again next year. “I think I’ll wait a few months before making that decision,” she said.

Miss Congeniality, Kaileen Potter also enjoyed participating in the pageant. She said that she had never done a pageant before, and that her mother had encouraged her to compete this year. She also noted the time it took to compete, citing the time it took to pick a song for her talent, the money for the dress and all of the hours of practicing and preparation, but like Gordon, she said it was “mostly just fun.” She also revealed that she would encourage others to “do it and not be worried about it,” but just to have “a good time.”

Helen McCandless, had three daughters, Nicole, Madison and Kayleigh, who competed in the pageant. She said that time had been tight and in order to get all three girls ready that she “took one kid at a time and said, ‘OK, we’re focusing on you today,’” preparing a talent for each one, getting the right clothes, and also preparing them for the prospect that they may not win that night.

“I just try to prepare them by telling them that this may not be their turn, it may be someone else’s turn. And maybe it’s because they have sisters, they’re used to taking turns,” she speculated.
So, although many may not understand the drive these girls have to compete in pageants, they do, and have a great time doing it. In fact, in just the past week, three pageants were held in the county, involving a total of 41 girls, the Miss Heritage Days Pageant was held on June 4, the Miss Castle Dale Pageant on June 6 and the Miss Cleveland Pageant on June 7.

The Miss Emery County Scholarship program is scheduled for July 19, and the Little Miss Emery Pageant is scheduled for July 30, during the County Fair. The winner of the Little Miss Emery Pageant will accompany Miss Emery County 2009 to the Miss Utah competition.

Ferron City will also hold a Miss Peach Days Pageant in mid- August, but the date is not set.
Others find their fun in poking a little fun at such pageants. For instance, at the Emery County Relay for Life, a male member from each team will compete in the “Miss Relay” competition.  In Emery Town, organizers didn’t like the competitive side of the regular pageant, so they developed the “Un-Pageant Pageant” where everyone wins.  The Emery Town Un-Pageant will be on July 16.

Forest Service details rules for ‘dispersed’ camping

Josie Luke

As the summer months draw people out of the cities and into the mountains, the Forest Service is encouraging campers to become one with nature and reminding them of their responsibilities while camping and ATVing.

In the Manti La Sal National Forest, the U.S. Forest Service provides 15 campgrounds for those who prefer a more structured place to camp, and also allows responsible camping with its dispersed camping policy.

Though the policy has now been in place for years, many people are not aware of the possibilities it provides for camping. Dispersed camping allows those who wish to camp within 150 feet of designated roads. The policy specifically allows for “utilizing undeveloped camp or picnic areas within 150 feet of a road or trail unless the area is signed or closed.”

Ferron District Ranger Mesia Nyman clarified, “Now of course they have to use good sense. They shouldn’t drive through a wet meadow to go camp; that would be resource damage and they’ll get a citation for resource damage.”

In selecting a dispersed camping sight, Nyman suggested that people “look for vegetation. If they’re going to have to drive through a place with a lot of little trees or through a nice meadow with lots of wild flowers, or through a stream or up a steep hill, they don’t want to camp there.” She also cautioned people from camping in riparian areas where there is often a lot of water or wet ground.    
The Forest Service will also will begin putting signs up this summer to either allow or disallow camping on many of the long established sites in the area that are located more than 150 feet from a designated road or trail.

Nyman explained, “We recognize that there are some long established campsites that aren’t campgrounds that have been there 20 or 30 years and people have always camped there. Some of them are more than 150 feet from the road, so we are going to sign those as open or closed.”

She related that the Forest Service will make those decisions based on circumstances at the site, such as if they find that continued use will cause damage to the resources of the environment where each site is located. She also stressed that they would be patient with people saying, “We’ll do education with people. They won’t get a ticket right off. We’ll be patient with them,” she said.

For those who prefer campgrounds, the Forest Service offers a national reservation website and hotline. Those interested can go to www.recreation.org or call 877-444-6777 to make reservations.
Although reservations can no longer be made with local offices, Nyman said that people can “take their chances” of finding an unreserved camp sight, or else take advantage of those that are left open on a first come first served basis.

Nyman also addressed the use of ATVs in the area. “They need to remember that when they’re on an ATV they can’t just go anywhere. They can’t go cross- country; they have to be on a designated trail that’s on the trail map for their use,” she said.

“We encourage people to be responsible, because when people are responsible we don’t have to regulate as much.”

Disease major obstacle in cow-calf operations

Glen L. Jensen, DVM

Disease represents a major obstacle to the profitability of many cow-calf operations.  Animal death, failure or decreased efficiency in reproduction, and decreases in growth and productivity may all be the result of disease.  Losses may also never be observed, these problems come about as “subclinical disease” and may quietly rob the cow-calf operator of profits.  Healthy cattle may also have a higher value at the time of sale, and be more uniform in size.

Treatment of many cattle diseases can be quite expensive and very unrewarding.  Production losses may often occur before disease is able to be diagnosed and treated.  Herd health programs should be designed to provide routine, planned procedures which will prevent or minimize disease.

Herd health programs may fail if there is too much reliance put on vaccinations and other treatments.  Vaccinations  are an important tool, but not a cureall.  Effective programs integrate medicine and management to prevent disease.  A producer  may want to consider three important areas in a herd health program.

1-            Prevent Exposure to Disease.  Do not bring disease to your herd through replacements.  This may be a baby calf, replacement heifer, or a bull that is to be used for breeding.  Purchasing and quarantine procedures should be used to decrease the likelihood of disease introduction.  Operations with increase concentration of livestock may need more intensive preventive programs.

2-            Keep Disease Resistance High.  Nutrition, management, and housing programs should be designed to help decrease stress and keep resistance to disease high at all times.  In Emery and Carbon counties there are many areas where due to high sulfur and alkali, our cattle become copper deficient.  These elements bind and “tie up” copper so that it is not available to the animal.  Low copper levels can lead to decreased immune status and decreased reproductive performance.  Resistance to specific diseases can sometimes be accomplished by vaccination.

3-            If Disease Occurs, Prevent its Spread. Segregate affected animals immediately.  Have a diagnosis made, and take recommended action as soon as possible.

Herd health programs must be tailored to each individual production situation.  Handling cattle is stressful, time consuming, and may be expensive, therefore the benefits gained must outweigh the costs.  Veterinarians are trained in herd health management and keep up to date on current deseases, treatments and prevention measures.  If is important to have a veterinarian involved with tailoring heard health programs.

Herd health programs and other cattle management procedures work best with calving is confined to a 60 – 90 day period.  Short calving periods will also help control diseases like trichomoniasis which has been prevalent in our area for far too long; it also adds value to calves because they are more uniform.  Most programs will be based on handling cows and calves twice a year and calves at birth.  There are times when cattle may need to be handled more often.

Pre-breeding  management of cows includes reproductive vaccines Leptospirosis, Vibriosis, IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV; parasite control, checking identification, eyes, teeth , feet , legs and udders.  Bulls should receive the same vaccines and have a thorough Breeding Soundness Examination.

Pre-weaning cows are diagnosed for pregnancy, eyes, teeth, feet, legs, and udders checked, treated for parasites, check identification and scours vaccines may be appropriate.

Newborn calf (24 hours old): disinfect navel, identify, vitamin A&D injection, and in some cases 7 or 8 way clostridial vaccine.  Bull calves may be castrated and dehorning may be done.

Mid-nursing (2 – 6 months old calves): Vaccination with 7 or 8-way clostridial vaccine, respiratory vaccinations, implant growth promotant (replacement heifers less than 400 lbs can be given a single implant.)  Deworm and dehorn if needed.

Preweaning calves: These procedures should be done 3-4 weeks prior to weaning to allow time for immunity to develop before weaning.  Vaccines: 7 or 8-way clostridial, respiratory viruses and Pasteurella, and Brucellosis for replacement heifers.  Parasite control, implant growth promotant, dehorn if needed.

Nutrition is important during all stages of cow-calf production but is especially important around weaning, calving, and breeding.  Nutrition is much more than good looking hay and an occasional mineral block.  Our area has some unique aspects that makes certain minerals like copper very important. (Jensen is a doctor of veterinarian medicine at Emery Animal Health.)

Take caution as you let your pets enjoy the great outdoors

Sharon Gilbert, DVM

In the spring and summer we all enjoying being outside.  Often we have our pets with us.  Here are some ideas to help keep us and our pets safe during activities outside.

Picture “Buddy,” a very large Mastiff, riding in the back of the truck, perched on the wheel well, face to the wind, ears and saliva flying.  He is really enjoying the ride.  Most dogs enjoy riding in the back of the truck. I wonder if they imagine that they are running really fast?  The problem is, it is not safe.  We see many injured dogs that have jumped out of the back of a moving truck, or fallen out in an accident or in a quick stop.  If your dog is allowed to ride in the back, he should be cross tied in or be in a crate that is tied into the back of the truck.  Make sure he is not on a rope that will allow him to jump out and be drug.  This will help keep him safe in the back of the truck.  Inside the car, you may consider a pet seat-belt.  This will help protect your pet in the event of an accident and will protect you from your pet colliding with another person inside the car in an accident.  The seat belt will also keep your pet away from you while you are driving.  Let’s keep our pets safely inside vehicles.

Before we were married, my husband had some sheep.  Over several days some dogs that were running loose came and killed a number of his sheep.  The animal control officer was called and two of the three dogs were caught and taken in.  The third could not be caught and was shot.  One dog was a loving  golden retriever, a family pet.  When the family came to the dog pound they were overjoyed to find their lost pet, and then dismayed to find that they owed a large fine, to pay for several sheep the dog had killed.

We enjoy the thought of our dogs running free, no restraint, to be able to run and play and have all the fun they want.  The trouble is, they get into trouble.  Besides damaging other people’s property or people, dogs running loose can get hit by cars, get in dog fights, or eat toxins and garbage.  Remember, they can get hurt themselves and they are our property.  We are responsible for what they do.  Even though we live in a rural area, we have leash laws.  Having your dog in a fenced in area while it is outside protects you, your neighbors and your dog.  Invisible fences can work well to keep your dog in your yard, but remember, they will not keep another animal out of your yard.  It is not only safe, but also responsible to keep your dog contained in your yard or on a leash. 

Although cats are much healthier indoors, many people have outside cats to help with rodent control. They have to be allowed to roam to do their job.  If a cat needs to be outside, owners can help protect them by spaying and neutering. Cats are territorial and often fight for territory and during mating.  Neutered and spayed cats fight much less and tend to stay home more.  If they stay home better, they will hunt more around your house.   Obviously this will also help reduce the number of feral cats.  It is an old wives’ tale that a cat with kittens will hunt better than a spayed cat.  Cats naturally hunt, litter of kittens or not.  Indoor cats avoid exposure to diseases such as Feline Leukemia and Feline immunodeficiency virus.  They also avoid bite wounds and injuries.  Indoor cats do need things to do inside.  Because they are natural hunters they need toys and play that helps fill that need and give them exercise.  Some owners even build large outside cages that attach to a window so cats can safely go outdoors and play.   Enjoy the spring and summer, enjoy your pet and help keep them safe. (Gilbert is a doctor of veterinarian medicine with Emery Animal Health.)

New York Style Hot Dog Stand to Open in Ferron

Josie Luke

Small town Ferron will soon boast a sight normally seen only in the big city as the Dugmore family introduces a New York style hot dog cart to the city’s streets. The grand opening for the Ferron Square Grill will be May 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The stand will be located in front of Dugmore Appliance and Heating.

The Ferron Square Grill will be managed by Janeal Dugmore and her 10-year-old son Bryce, who is excited to earn money to help pay for his new motorcycle. Bryce, who has also sold lemonade during the summer, thinks it will be a lot of fun to cook for people and spend time with his family.

To start out, they will keep it simple, selling hot dogs, candy, chips and drinks, but hope to expand to include hamburgers, nachos, French fries and other specialty items.

As to being a 10-year-old with his own business, Bryce sums it up with one word, “awesome.” He is nervous about making mistakes, but hopes that people will be pleased by “getting good food.” He reported that his friends think it is “cool” and say that he is going to get a lot of money

The idea for the grill first began when the Dugmores held a sidewalk sale and decided to show how well their barbecues could cook. Bryce decided that he wanted to earn money and so he began selling hotdogs to customers who came. Janeal Dugmore said that her son “had a lot of fun at it, and enjoyed earning money,” so the family decided to take it a step further. “We decided that if we were going to do something like that, we need to do it the right way,” she related.

Janeal said that after discussing it the family decided that, “We wanted to find something that people would actually use, and it’s something that’s a bit unique, because we can go to the customers.”

She also said that they carefully researched the cart business before making their decision. “We’ve done a lot of research and study on it, and if it’s as successful as everybody says it is, then in the future we could purchase more carts and do it simultaneously at different places,” she stated.

The Dugmores have permission from the health inspector to take their cart to events in both Carbon and Emery County. They hope to cover birthday parties, family reunions and community events, including sports games, golf tournaments, the Emery County Fair, Peach Days, Heritage Days, International Days and others.

In speaking with others in the community, they have gotten good feedback. “Everyone we’ve talked to seems really excited about it and thinks it’s a fun idea. A couple have even said they wish they’d thought of it themselves. We’ve had only positive feedback,” she reported.

Cindi’s Café to Open Soon in Huntington

Josie Luke

               
“If this doesn’t kill me, it’s going to make me better,” remarked Cindi Avery as she sat in the construction zone that will soon be her new café. Avery and her family have joined forces to remodel part of the building located next to Christy’s Salon Sensations in Huntington into a cafe.   

Cindi’s Café will be the result of Avery taking her favorite parts from the many restaurants she has worked at and joining them into what she hopes will be a successful business. It truly is a family business. Her children Heather Avery, Marissa Killpack, Chelsey Rhodes and Jeremiah Avery have helped her in planning, remodeling and decorating the space. “Everybody has had their hand in this place,” she said.

One of her three daughters will work with her full time, another will come for the lunch rush and the third will be the “designated babysitter” for her eight grandchildren. Her son has been spending every spare minute doing the woodwork in the café and will help whenever he can.

Her daughters have taken initiative to set the tone for the decorations in the cafe. “We want it to be cute and comfortable,” Avery related. “The girls aren’t letting me buy whatever I want for decorations, they have to be with me.”
She has carefully planned every aspect of her business, from the menu to the decorating, to the setup of the kitchen which she designed on a trip back from Nevada and California. She went to buy supplies and appliances for the café. Although her son wasn’t sure about his mother’s ideas, it has turned out. “It’s fast and quick and it’s going to work. I know it’s going to work,” she said. “I’ve got everything in its place.”

The café will be open from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. to cover breakfast and lunch. Avery will sell hamburgers, deli sandwiches, soup, salad, a daily “hot meal” lunch special, tacos and burritos. Customers will be able to sit down and enjoy their meal in the café, or “get it quick and take it home” from the drive-thru window.

She has a definite theory of what will make the business successful. “It’s what I know. I know how to cook. To please the people is what you’re looking at,” she said. “You’re not looking at buying a lot of processed foods and throwing it out there saying, ‘Look, I’ve got all the things that Joe down the street has got.’ That’s not what I want. I want served here what I would serve my kids, my family.”

Because of the many surprises they have faced in getting the building ready, Avery is hesitant on setting a definite date for the opening, but said the café will be open by the end of the month. She also expressed some anxiety about getting business started, but said confidently, “Once we get going, people will love the food here.”

Medical Reserve Corps Looking for Volunteers

Josie Luke

After President George W. Bush’s 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he asked all Americans to volunteer in support of their country, the Medical Reserve Corps was organized. The local unit, the Southeastern Utah MRC is currently looking for volunteers.

“MRC units are community-based and function as a way to locally organize and utilize volunteers who want to donate their time and expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies and promote healthy living throughout the year. MRC volunteers supplement existing emergency and public health resources,” the MRC website explains.

The SEUMRC is organized under the Southeastern Utah Health Department and is currently looking for doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, veterinarians, mental health professionals, pharmacists, dentists and emergency personnel, including firefighters, EMTs and police, along with anyone else who is willing to help in an emergency.

“We are looking for people who are willing to do what needs to be done,” explained Cynthia Grant, SEUMRC Coordinator. “Basically, the people we can use is anyone who is willing to work in an emergency situation and who is dedicated and willing enough to give back to the community that they would do that without getting paid.”

Those who would volunteer for the SEUMRC, would be those who would not already be involved, including those who are retired, not working full-time, working in another field, or not currently working.

Some of the situations Grant sees the SEUMRC volunteers working in are in circumstances like the Crandall Canyon mine disaster, or in the event of a pandemic, flood or earthquake. In such instances, they could help to shelter those involved, provide for medical and physical needs, assist with communications, or anything else that was needed.

Grant said the group is just getting off the ground, but eventually, she would like to see a group of 12 to 20 volunteers in each county, with over 70 percent being lay people, without much medical experience. The program will also have a team leader in each county, who would be paid for five to 10 hours a month. In a team leader, Grant said she is looking for someone with strong people skills, who would take initiative and “quickly catch the vision of the MRC”.

The MRC is designed to be of service in the community in which it is located, and so unlike the Red Cross, the MRC has much more flexibility in how it is organized and how volunteers are used.

Grant sees volunteers supporting local health initiatives and any other community event where medical experience might be needed. She revealed that in some instances, like the bus accident last year near Blanding, people were needed to “just comfort people who were involved”, or to help with logistics and record keeping.

Volunteers would need to go through required trainings in eight core competencies, including training in the National Incident Management System (NIMS), which trains volunteers on how to react in emergencies. The trainings can be taken online and according to Grant, won’t require a huge amount of time.

For questions about the Medical Reserve Corps, or to volunteer, contact Grant at (435)748-2997, on her cell phone at- (435)749-2998, or email her at cgrant@utah.gov.

Little League Teams Gather in Huntington for Tournament

Josie Luke

With the Little League Baseball season coming to an end, Cal Ripkin minor and major league teams from the county gathered at the Emery County Softball Complex in Huntington for their end of season tournament on June 6 and 7.

After playing until late into the night on Friday, players woke up to what threatened to be a wet and cold day for the conclusion of the tournament, but the weather improved and parents and fans were treated to the upsets, comebacks and memorable moments that come with little league baseball.
The first championship game, for the major league teams began at 1 p.m. with Orangeville facing a combination of players from the Ferron and Huntington teams who joined together when neither was able to field a full team, and that had made it into the final on a late inning rally the night before.
The Orangeville team jumped out on top in the first inning, scoring three runs on two hits and three walks, after their lead off hitter Baylee Bolotas smashed a double to start the game. Bolotas scored first, followed by Slayde Cologi and Draven Farmer.

Orangeville added another run in the second, when Bolotas scored a second run, and two more in the fourth, scored by Ashton Bell and Charlie Turner. The team came into the sixth inning up by a score of 6-0, looking nearly unbeatable, but the Ferron/Huntington squad again rallied in the final inning.
Tyeray Migliori reached base first for the Ferron/Huntington team on a walk, but the next two batters were both sent back to their dugout. With two outs, Carson Healy hit only the second single of the game for his team, and Wyatt Payne followed with another single, scoring Migliori.

After Jorgan Allred then made it to first base on a walk and Jared Shakespeare reached on an error, both Healy and Payne scored, bringing the team within three runs of their opponents. But the magic didn’t last for the comeback Ferron/Huntington squad; the six point cushion the Orangeville team had fought to build proved to be enough to bring them the championship.

The minor league championship game started at 5:30 on Saturday. The game brought a match-up of Cleveland and Castle Dale.

In the first inning the two teams looked evenly matched, with each team sending five batters to the plate and Cleveland scoring one run, but the second inning was dominated by the team from Castle Dale.

In the top of the inning, the Castle Dale pitcher Zach Jorgensen walked the first batter and then struck out three straight. To start the bottom of the second Ignacio Arrien hit a single and scored after Cleveland gave up an error and two walks. That began a streak of thirteen straight batters scoring for Castle Dale, bringing the score to 13-1, and virtually ending the game after the second inning.

Cleveland responded valiantly in the top of the third, with Jaxon Winn, Jaxon Bradley, Austin Allred and Bowdie Jacobsen scoring, but they only amanged to bring themselves within eight of the Castle Dale team. And though their pitcher struck out three straight to keep them in the game, they couldn’t manufacture another run, so when Castle Dale added two more runs in the fourth, the game ended early on the ten run rule, making Castle Dale the minor league tournament champion.

Avoiding Work is Hard Work

James L. Davis

I hope my dad never retires.  I’m not sure I can handle the pressure.  I say that out of love and out of fear – mostly fear, because as long as my dad is still gainfully employed there is a chance that I can continue to be a slacker.  When he has more time on his hands my life is going to get a lot more hectic because he is going to come around and crack the whip until I get started on all of those projects I am going to do “someday.”

While I’m no expert I do believe that it all boils down to what I like to call “generational perspective.”  I believe that “someday” means “someday in the not too distant future, but definitely not today, maybe next Tuesday, but probably not because Tuesday is the day after Monday, and I definitely need a rest after making it through Monday, and most assuredly not on Saturday because on Saturday I want to sleep in and then go four-wheeling.  Maybe in July, but probably not because it will be pretty hot in July I hear, what with global warming and all.”

My dad, however, believes “someday” means “get up off your lazy butt and get this done or I’m going to do it for you and embarrass you in front of your wife and kids.”

I know, I know, he’s completely insane, but he’s my dad, what do you do?  Well, what I do is try not to mention to my dad that I have any projects that need to be done.  That, unfortunately, only works part of the time, because a door hanging by one hinge is only going to escape his attention for so long.  I have considered trying to convince him that the hanging door is a new design element I am trying in the house, but I don’t think he’ll buy it.

In the summer I’m fortunate enough to be able to get away with being a slacker more than in the winter.  My dad is the caretaker at the Orangeville City Cemetery, so in the summer months he’s pretty busy.  In the winter months he enjoys the quiet of his seasonal layoff for about three days and then he’s searching for a project.  Quite often his “project” revolves around getting one of his kids to get going on one of their projects because he’s already completed all of his.

I have tried to convince my mom to continue coming up with projects around the house for my dad to do and she in turn gives me that look that says “I didn’t beat you when you were young, but I can start now if you would like.”

In the past few years my dad has in the off season put new windows in his house, shingled the house, put in new flooring, renovated the bathroom and the kitchen, put in a new air conditioning unit, replaced the heater, painted his house and put in a fish pond.  It’s only a two bedroom house, so he’s pretty much done unless I sneak into his house and start undoing some of the things he’s done.  I might be saved however because my brother just renovated a boat and my dad thought that might be a good idea as well.  That should keep him busy for a week or two at least.

It’s not that I’m lazy, OK maybe it is, it’s just that I have worked for some pretty tough bosses in my life and I will testify that there is no tougher boss than my dad.

I have experienced what it was like to work for my dad many times over the years, and I live in fear of those times.  My earliest experience of actually working a “job” for my dad instead of doing “chores” for my dad came when I was 11 years old and foolishly told my dad that I wished we had a basement in our house like my friends because then I could have a room of my own.

A few weeks later my dad brought home a brand new shovel, pick and wheelbarrow.  He borrowed his employer’s backhoe and dug a hole outside our front window and then he handed me the hand tools and told me to start digging, put the dirt in the hole and don’t dig under the house supports.
I spent my summer vacation doing just that and my dad would come down from time to time to check on me, smile softly and go back to work on one of his projects.    But when the basement was ready for interior walls my dad looked at me and told me to tell him where I wanted the walls for my bedroom, so in the end I got the bedroom I had been whining about.  Of course, when I had started begging for a room of my own I had meant that perhaps we should move to the house down the street that already had a basement, not let’s dig one of our own. My dad misinterpreted my begging as a willingness to work.

With spring here my dad is back to work at the cemetery so I am safe for a time.  He has warned me on a number of occasions that he will retire some day.  He is 80 years old and said he might only work another season or two.  Of course, he’s been saying that since he was 70, so I might be safe for a while longer.

When he does finally retire I know that my slacker days will be behind me and he’ll put me to work on my “to do” list, smiling softly as I try to come up with an excuse to get out of working.

I’m just grateful that my house already has a basement.  I’m also grateful that my dad can still kick my butt.  Happy Father’s Day Dad.

Something to Blog About

Casey Wood

A blog, a term derived from the words web log, is an online entry of commentary, or an online description of events, sometimes containing pictures and video.  A blog may also function as an online diary, expressing opinions, beliefs, feelings, or ideas.

Some blogs are very professional and give commentary on what is currently happening, or has recently happened concerning a subject.  A blog may explain what is going on in a political race, or in the war, while others may explain things concerning less serious matters, such as what is happening in Hollywood. 

Blogs may also be descriptions of what happened at events, such as a political conference, a red carpet movie premier or a local community event, telling the different things that were said and done, sometimes being very specific, while at other times being quite brief.  Blogs provide a way for you to find out what happened if you were unable to be there for the event. 

At other times, blogs act as online diaries, giving people the opportunity to openly express their opinions, beliefs, feelings, or ideas.

It gives those who choose to “blog” the chance to share their opinions on subjects, whether they be important or insignificant with anyone who cares to read.

“Blogging” may allow people to share their beliefs, religious or otherwise, with people across the web, explaining what they believe and why they believe it.

One of the more popular functions of a blog is as a place to express feelings.  A blog can be used as a place to vent about what is going on in life and what a person wants to happen.  It gives them the chance to explain why they did something or why they were going to do something.  At times these blogs are made public to explain things to people, while at other times they can be made private, providing the opportunity for the “blogger” to express their feelings, while not allowing everyone else to see how they feel if they want their feelings to be kept private. 

A blog is a place where people can share their ideas, a place where people can publish how they think and what they think will make the world, the community, or their lives.  A blog can act as a creative output, a place where people can share the things they enjoy, such as art, music, film or other forms of creative output.

Another prominent and enjoyed feature of blogging is the ability given to readers to comment on what the blogger has said, sharing their opinion on the subject of the blog with the blogger, and letting those who post collaborate together.

Good Cooking from One Generation to Another

Kathy Ockey

Our recipes last week were given to us by Myrleen Sitterud and this week’s recipes were provided by Myrleen’s daughter, Laurel Johansen, proving that good cooks run in the family.

Laurel and her husband, Scott, live in Castle Dale and have raised three daughters and two sons with their youngest daughter, Michelle, living at home now.  They also have the distinction that five of their grandchildren are 2 years old. Scott is presently serving as the Seventh District Juvenile Judge in this area.

Laurel has the same problem most people now have – she is very busy.  She works three days a week as a nurse at the public health office in Castle Dale and is the chairman of the Emery County School Board. 

Laurel loves to cook and she and her daughters send good recipes they have found back and forth to one another, giving each one a star rating.  She said her daughters are gourmet cooks and she likes to cook the basic, classic foods.  She compiles a cookbook each year of all of their new recipes and sends it to her daughters and also other family members and friends. 

With her busy lifestyle Laurel said she likes to make and keep items handy in the freezer.  She said it is nice to have these dishes prepared because they have a lot of family and friends that are often in their home, and that her husband is notorious for bringing people home for a meal.  She can take items from her freezer and quickly put a nice dinner on the table. Laurel said she loves to read cookbooks and try new recipes but her family always requests the same dishes when they are home.

Laurel remembers going to her Grandma Edna Sitterud’s home in Orangeville each Sunday for her delicious hot rolls.  Her grandmother had 14 children and all of her family would gather at her home each week for these baked treats.  Laurel couldn’t remember how many pounds of flour she used or how many rolls she made each week, but she said it was a large amount.  Following is Laurel’s favorite roll recipe. She would like people to have it because she is asked so often for it.  There are also several others she would like share.

12-Hour Butterhorns
“I am often asked for this recipe”

1 tablespoon active dry yeast                                      1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup warm water                                       1/2 cup canned milk
1/2 cup water                                                                     1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt                                                                  3 eggs, well beaten                                                           4-5 cups flour                                                                     1/2 cup butter, melted

Soften yeast in warm water.  Combine melted butter, milk and water.  Stir in sugar, salt and eggs.  Stir in softened yeast and enough flour to make a soft dough.  Cover and allow to raise in cool place for 5-6 hours.  Turn out onto lightly floured board; knead just to coat dough with flour.  Dough is very soft and should remain so.  Divide dough in half.  Roll each half into 14-inch circle.  Spread each circle with 1/4 cup melted butter.  Cut pie-fashion into 12 pieces.  Roll each piece from large end to small.  Place on greased cookie sheet.  Allow to sit in cool place 5-6 hours.  Bake 12-15 min. at 375 degrees until lightly browned.  Don’t over-bake.

Rolls may be frozen ahead of time by shaping, then immediately placing rolls onto baking sheet and quick freezing.  Remove frozen rolls from baking sheet; place in heavy freezer bag.  Twist bag closed.  Will keep for up to two weeks.  This works well for Christmas or Thanksgiving because there is no mess from making rolls that day. 

Five to six hours before time to bake, remove from freezer and arrange on greased baking sheet.  Allow to thaw and rise for 5-6 hours (perfect for make ahead church rolls).  Bake as directed.

Cinnamon Rolls

Use dough recipe.  Roll into an 8 X 24 inch rectangle and spread with 1/2  cup melted butter.  Sprinkle with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.  Roll, starting from long side, and pinch edges together.  Slice into 24 pieces, place on cookie sheet.  Cover lightly; allow to raise five to six hours in cool room.  Bake for 12-15 minutes.  Ice with 3 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough canned milk to make it spreading consistency.  Ice while hot.

Orange Sticky Rolls

Roll dough into 8 X 24 inch rectangle.  Spread with orange filling, (Cream together 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup sugar and grated rind of 1 orange).  Cut into four long rectangles and stack all four pieces on top of each other.  Slice into 2” pieces and place in greased muffin pans cut end side down.  They fan out as they rise.  Let rise as for cinnamon rolls and bake.  Ice with 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate, 1/4 cup butter, softened and enough canned milk to make it spreading consistency.  Ice while warm.

Oatmeal Pudding
Cookies
“These are a staple in our home”

Aloha Beef Kabobs
“My family requests this more
often than anything else”

2 pounds round or sirloin steak, cut in cubes        1 1/2 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Ginger                                                            1/2 teaspoon black pepper           
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder                                          6 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice                                                             3 tablespoons oil              
Mushrooms, whole                                                          Onion, quartered
Tomato, wedged                                                                               Pineapple, chunked
Green peppers, chunked

Mix dry mustard, ginger, pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, lemon juice and oil.  Marinate steak for 4 hours in fridge.  Arrange steak, tomatoes, green peppers, pineapple, and onions on skewers and broil until meat is browned.  Kabobs can also be barbequed.  For Sunday dinners, place meat and marinate in large pan, put vegetables on top and bake at 250 for 3 hours.  Serve over rice.

-Earth Aim-

In Search of Clean Cosmetics

Denise Reid

Ever think a day was a waste of makeup? Unfortunately, the chemicals in some cosmetics are known carcinogens (cancer causing).  Lead makes lipstick color last longer.  Talc is in many eye shadows and is comparable to asbestos. Luckily, many companies are moving away from these ingredients. Toxicity levels vary from one product to another within a single company. It can take some careful attention to filter through all of the choices, remembering that every product rinses down the drain and into our water systems. 

It is difficult to determine which products will really smooth out fine lines, and which are really expensive hormone disrupters. The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit organization dedicated to the use of public information to protect public health and the environment, has an informative website, ewg.org, with a link to Skin Deep, a cosmetic safety database.  Skin Deep allows you to search a cosmetic, sun block, or moisturizer to find the list of ingredients along with a chemical hazard rating of 0-10. You can review lists of rated products or enter in the name of specific makeup, along with color and/or product number. Some eye shadows within the same company are rated at opposite ends of the scale, with one scoring an 8 and the other scoring a 1. My daily SPF 15 moisturizer is rated overall a low toxic score of 4, but scored a high, toxic 8 for neurotoxity. I don‘t like the sound of that word at all and will be shopping around.

There are other sources to help break down what those ingredient lists on those little bottles actually mean. Safecosmetics.org has useful articles, and gorgeouslygreen.com offers a printable Cheat Sheet that lists commonly purchased, potentially dangerous cosmetic ingredients.

There are also many safe alternatives. You can find colors, shadows, and potions manufactured with human and environmental safety considered. Sun block is usually applied to the most skin and would be a wise first choice for trying to find the most natural alternative. Check a nearby whole foods store or search on line for a retailer. Jason offers sun blocks considered safe and Pangea Organics offers beauty products in biodegradable packaging, infused with wildflower seeds that can be soaked in water and planted.

City Celebrations a Chance to Build Community

James L. Davis

Sometime after the parade for Orangeville Days was over it became painfully clear that the weather just wasn’t going to cooperate with the festivities planned for the annual city celebration.  It was cold and getting colder and most of the visitors were wearing sweatshirts with their shorts or wishing for their jackets.

City leaders, observing that in celebrations past the most popular events for children revolved around anything and everything having to do with water, had planned most of the events with a water theme. As gray clouds grew grayer the water games were abandoned before they ever had a chance to get started.

Despite the weather, other games were held and children ran here or there taking their turns on the games that didn’t involve water play.  On one of the games, an inflatable obstacle course, kept tripping the breaker in the park and was therefore pulled from one outlet to another while kids patiently (or not) waited for air to build. I attempted to keep the line of children from trampling each other by having them start the course in pairs.  As soon as two sets of skinny legs flipped over the last obstacle I yelled out “ready, set, go” and let the next pair plow through the course.

One boy, not much more than 6 years old, stood and watched the other kids run the course while waiting for his turn. He looked around the park at the water rides that had never been unrolled and then looked up at me.  “This is lame,” he said and I couldn’t help but grin.  Whether he was talking about the ride, the weather or the abbreviated celebration I wasn’t sure, but his sentiment is something most organizers of town celebrations fret over constantly: how to put together an event that gives a little something for everyone to enjoy…without being lame.

It’s no easy feat and as with most things, no matter how hard you try there will be someone somewhere that finds the event less than spectacular.  But if the measure of success for a town celebration is: did the residents of a town or city get to gather together, say hi to their neighbors, watch their children and grandchildren play, and sit down to a meal together, then every celebration should be considered a success.

In the next few months every town in Emery County will host a celebration and the weekends will be packed with parades, barbecues, fun runs and fireworks.  We will visit each others’ towns and help in the celebration and enjoy the entertainment organized by individual armies of volunteers working furiously with limited budgets to put together events that they hope will be memorable.

With eight different celebrations to be had just in the communities of Emery County, the possibility of bottlenecks with a limited number of weekends quite often run event planners ragged.  In years past as many as two or three towns had celebrations on the same day, and the competition for floats in the parade and the appearance by the Emery High band had one town competing with the other for events and attendance.

Many of the towns, Orangeville among them, changed the dates for their celebrations in order to ease the bottleneck and try to let each town have its own weekend for a celebration.  But there is still so much to do, so much to see and so little time, that events have a tendency to overlap.

But despite the overlap of events, despite the dreary weather that might dampen the festivities, the chance for everyone to come together for a meal, a game, a spot on the lawn to catch up on old times, is perhaps the greatest reason for celebration and one of the blessings of living in a small town.

And there’s nothing lame about that.

Don’t Say Women’s Intuition Doesn’t Exist

Kathy Ockey

There are many odd and unexplainable things that happen in the world each day.  Have you ever wondered why a buttered piece of bread always lands on the floor butter-side down?  There are many remarkable things that surround us, but one of great value to the female gender is the gift of “women’s intuition.”  You doubt it exists?  Trust me, it really does. 

Defining female intuition is tricky, but it is basically a special sense a female gets, usually about the male gender, and his intentions.  This intuition varies with each female, in some it is as loud as a cell phone ringing in church, and for others it is not as noticeable.  But loud or soft, it seems to be a package deal that comes with female hormones.

With this gift of intuition, you would think that women would be able to predict problems in relationships, car accidents, or children’s bad grades.  But this is not always the case. Perhaps we sometimes are too caught up in cooking, laundry, going to work and parent-teacher’s conferences to stop and listen to this sixth sense.  Maybe men and women are just wired differently. Have you heard the recent Brad Paisley song that begins with, “When you see a deer you see Bambi, and I see antlers on the wall.”

The gift of female intuition may have started with Adam and Eve.  When God told Adam not to eat of the fruit Adam, took it literally and obeyed Him.  But perhaps Eve used her intuition to sense what God really wanted.  Eve may have acted intuitively because that’s how she was created.

When your wife told you she didn’t want anything for her birthday she really meant, “I don’t want to tell you what I want for my birthday. I want you to know what I want.”  So to the men who don’t have this intuitive ability, always be sure to buy your wife something – even if it is wrong.  Your wife may have to learn that you haven’t developed the sensory skills to read between the lines and know what she is really asking for but at least you gave it a try.

This gift of intuition can also apply to the children of her home and could be expanded to a higher form of intuition.  It is “Mother’s intuition.”  This is why mothers can sense when her children are not telling the truth, why she knows they weren’t at the movies last night, and why they check on babies so often.  I once made the mistake of not listening to my own mother’s intuition with my children and had to put out the fire in the old chicken coop.  I never made that mistake again – nor did my children.  To all children out there:  Never try to fool your mother. She has ways of knowing where you are, who you are with, and what you are doing!”

Women are equipped with well-defined emotional powers.  They need these abilities to sense the moods and attitudes of others that could signal pain, hunger, or other basic needs.  Generally, a woman/mother’s basic nature is to be nurturing and a man’s basic nature is to be practical and more physical.  This leads to men thinking more and women feeling more.  I suppose men could become more intuitive if they tried to develop it.  Perhaps women could develop their logical side too.  This way you could come across men who are very gentle and understanding and women who are very good at solving engineering problems.  Differences in men and women really do make the world a more interest place.

To summarize the theory of women’s intuition:  A woman’s brain makes her world full of feelings and emotions.  She knows when she feels warm, wanted and when she is in love.  She can sense her children’s hopes, fears and what they are thinking. A man is vaguely aware of some little people in his house.  This is not because the males do not love or understand the females or their children; it is because you are a man.  Don’t change. That is why we love you and you are the most important thing to your wife and your family.  Have a very Happy Father’s Day.

Thank You Notes Shouldn’t Become a Lost Art

Lyndsay Reid

It’s the season of weddings, graduations and the most important, but sometimes forgotten etiquette, the thank you. While a thank you can be said in person, on the phone, in a text message or an email, there is nothing more personal and thoughtful than a hand written letter received in a mailbox.

As a child, my mom taught my sisters and me the thoughtful act of the thank you note. Every birthday I took on the daunting task of writing thank you letters to all my extended family members who sent birthday gifts and cards. At first I struggled with the idea of having to write all those letters, but I soon learned to enjoy the process of sealing my thank you with a fun sticker, and knowing that I was showing my appreciation.

 In the past two years, I have had the pleasure of being invited to several wedding receptions. I took the time and money to pick out perfect gifts, but then found myself months later, wondering if they ever received the present, or if they even liked it at all. I assume they do get the presents, considering we usually drop them off the gift at the gift table or give it to them personally. Call me old fashion, but I’m a fan of sending and receiving thank you notes.

This experience recently led me on a quest to find out the dos and don’ts of thank you notes. I learned that all thank you letters should be written promptly and in the case of a wedding, there is a grace period of three months. Thank you letters for get well gifts should be sent as soon as that person is well. Even though you may have said thank you personally, you should almost always write your appreciation in a letter as well.

Situations that you should always send a thank you letter are for bridal showers, weddings, baby showers, for sympathy flowers and gifts, graduations, get well gifts, any type of donations or charities, and for the host or hostess of an event or party.

While not required you may even consider showing your thanks to a friend or neighbor who may have shown you kindness. There are many other situations that I haven’t listed that aren’t considered required, but are highly recommended.

There are plenty of sources online as well as books that can help with getting started on the dos and don’ts of thank you notes. Numerous sites include tips and samples on how to write the perfect letter. There are even entire sites dedicated to wedding etiquette rules and how to keep all those cards and presents organized.

 I’m sure there were times when I forgot to send a proper thank you, and I understand how busy our lives can be. If we all take a few minutes to take on the task that is so simple, yet so appreciated, we can all brighten someone’s day by showing how much their generosity meant to us.

James L. Davis
Publisher / Editor

James Davis has spent most of his adult career in love with the idea of being able to tell the stories of everyday people who continually do extraordinary things.  There is an abundance of such people in the San Rafael Swell area.

Together with his wife, Colleen, the two started The Emery County Review in January of 2007 because of their love for the people and places of Emery and Carbon counties.

They are proud of their small town newspaper and spend countless hours debating how they can best spread the good news of the area.

With a dedicated staff and teenage children that they can still beg to cover school news (for a price), their hope is that The Emery County Review will be recognized for living up to its motto:

You’re News to Us!

Colleen A. Davis

Co-Publisher / Advertising Manager

 

A native of Emery County, Colleen has a great love for the people of the San Rafael Swell and Castle Valley area and hopes she has instilled those same feelings in her children.

The part of her job she loves the most is being able to work side by side with her husband. She enjoys getting to know people more and find out what hidden talents and passions they have, and reminiscing about the people and the county.

When The Emery County Review was started it was a new adventure for her and has proven to bring great joy to her life. An animal lover, she has been a veterinarian technician for approximately nine years and continues to work part-time as a veterinarian technician, more as a hobby and a driving passion today than a job.

Colleen loves spending time with her family, whether just in the backyard or hiking, riding 4-wheelers, playing on the boat or on a family drive.

Carma Josie Luke currently lives in Huntington, where she grew up. She graduated from Emery High in 2001, and then attended the College of Eastern Utah, where she first discovered news working on the campus newspaper, The Eagle. She then went to Utah State University where she studied Psychology.

Now, as the Assistant Editor for the Emery County Review, Josie is learning on the job from an accomplished editor. She happily spends her time covering community news, while wondering why she gets paid to write for a newspaper and working with a staff that makes it a joy.

Charlotte Williams

Advertising Sales

 

Charlotte Williams lives in Orangeville with her husband and two beautiful daughters, and has for the past ten years. Raised in a large family, she has learned the importance of family (not to mention good self defence skills). She opens her home to youth that may need a little more love than others. Although scrapbooking, cooking, camping, and family fun are her favorite things to do, she will try just about anything once.

The new experiences and new people she has met while working for the Emery County Review have definitely proven again what a great community we live in.

Kathy Ockey

Staff Writer

 

Kathy has lived in Orangeville most of her life, where she quite literally married the “boy next door.”  Kathy and her husband, Royal, have two children and six grandchildren.  They enjoy camping, hunting and spending time with their family.

She said she never thought of herself as a writer but she enjoys working at The Emery County Review because it gave her a chance to learn more about writing and to develop a new skill.  She also enjoys being able to meet people, to learn more about the world about her and to have experiences she wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to have.

Judi has been a resident of Cleveland since 1995 and prior to that lived in Huntington, so naturally her “beat” is the north end of Emery County.  She has been with The Emery County Review since September of 2007.  She enjoys working for the Review because it focuses on the types of stories that make the world a happy place.  She also enjoys the company of her co-workers and the opportunity to work with and tell the stories of the surrounding community and the residents who call the area home.
