Rodeo Action Sets Tone for Excitement

Josie Luke

When organizers initially introduced the possibility of bringing a professional rodeo to Emery County, the idea was met with doubt from many corners. Ten years later, the Desertview Pro Rodeo has become a fixture, drawing larger crowds each year. In fact, last year, the rodeo drew 266 more spectators than it had in 2006.

The idea of the county having a PRCA rodeo began in early 1999, when organizers began studying what it would take to pull off what many told them would be impossible. Normally, permission to host a pro rodeo can take up to two years to receive but organizers received a letter of approval from the PRCA the same year, and the first Desertview rodeo was held that July.

To make things even better, Emery County Recreation Director Shannon Hiatt, an initial organizer, was contacted in early February by Ike Sankey, one of the most well-respected stock contractors in the country. Sankey, who has been named PRCA stock contractor of the year, has provided stock for the rodeo every year since.

Derri Jewkes, a member of the rodeo committee, who has been involved from the beginning, stated, “I think we surprised a lot of people. First, with the fact that we were actually able to have it and second, that we got Ike Sankey; so it is not only that it is a PRCA rodeo, but we got a top contractor.”
Jewkes explained that he believes there a lot of reasons the rodeo has done so well. He said one of the main reasons may be that “it is the only professional sport we have here in Emery County.” He also attributed much of its success to the people who come every year, recognizing the rodeo as “worth supporting.”

Hiatt said that part of the rodeo that organizers believe makes it worth supporting is the effort they put in to making it move quickly. “The rodeo is extremely fast,“ he related, attributing much of the credit for it to Sankey and the efforts of the many volunteers involved.

In Hiatt’s view, “Sankey puts the word professional in rodeo. He brings good people, and has proved to be a man of his word.”

One of Jewkes’ favoirte parts of being involved is each year is “seeing how excited the people get over it, both the people who come and the people involved. Everyone that has something to do with it does their job well.” Each year, nearly 100 volunteers help to organize and run the rodeo.

He also appreciates that organizers held to their original stance that the rodeo would be an alcohol-free event. “My most satisfying thing about the rodeo is that the people who support it can feel comfortable bringing their kids and their wives.”

Over the years, organizers have worked to make the rodeo “family friendly.” The first year, they included the wild cow milking competition, which has proven to be a crowd favorite. “Wild cow milking is a staple of our rodeo,” they said. They also recently began naming a “tough enough to wear pink” night, where part of the ticket sales goes to support people with cancer.

This year, as part of the 10th anniversary they have added a special “hide race”, where participants will compete to see how long they can hold on while riding a hide which is pulled by a horse around the arena.

The Desertview Pro Rodeo will be held July 24-26, 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Dale Arena. Thursday night will feature the “hide race” and Castle Dale City fire works after the rodeo. On Friday, there are rumors of a “huge suprise”, and on Saturday, the first 500 fans will receive “knock out cancer towels” as part of “tough enough to wear pink.” The rodeo will also feature Rodeo Clown Scott Cameron, who organizers say has proven to be a crowd favorite.

The Crowning Moment

Josie Luke

Magic flooded the Emery High auditorium on July 19, as four accomplished young women competed for the title of Miss Emery County 2008.

The four contestants, Lacey Branson from Orangeville, Savannah Winn from Ferron, Allie Stokes from Cleveland and Holly Damron from Clawson, treated the audience to a night of entertainment as they competed in talent, swimsuit, on-stage question and evening wear.

After the familiar anxiety that comes with waiting for the announcement of the winners, Holly Damron was named Miss Emery 2008, with Allie Stokes as first attendant.

Holly was elated to win the competition. “I was so excited,” she said, adding, “Winning, because we all got along so well, was even more fun.” Her mother, Janet, agreed, “She has been on cloud nine ever since.”

For Holly, although she was excited to participate, the competition made her quite nervous. “Before the talent, I got really nervous,” she said. “I told my mom later that I just had to say to myself, ‘I’m not doing this for everyone else. I’m doing it because I enjoy it. I’m doing what I love, and hopefully they’ll see that.’”

She also commented that she “loved working with everybody that had a part in it,” and expressed that she felt a bit overwhelmed by the “honor” of representing Emery County. “It feels pretty good, even though I will have a lot of responsibilities,” she stated.

Those in attendance were also entertained by a number of special performances. Little Miss Emery, Madison McCandless charmed the audience with a singing and dance routine. The Emery High Spardettes, Emery All-Stars and One Step above performed. Clerece Chidester, Kaylee Van Wagoner and Miss Emery County 2005, Shala Pitchforth sang, and Miss Emery County 2007, Kerrie Johansen, and her twin sister Kristine, the 2006 winner, provided an especially poignant moment, with their dance duet.

Preliminary Hearing Set for September in Commissioner Case

James L. Davis

Commissioner Drew Sitterud appeared in Seventh District Court on July 15 in his initial appearance, as he faces three third degree felony charges of misusing public money.

Sitterud was served copies of the information and a summons by Assistant Attorney General Pat Nolan on June 17, immediately after a commission meeting, where Sitterud served as chairman.

After Nolan served the summons, Commissioners Gary Kofford and Jeff Horrocks voted to place Sitterud on paid administrative leave pending the court findings on the case.

Sitterud has steadfastly maintained his innocence through his attorney, Sonny Olsen.  According to Olsen, the charges stem from a misunderstanding regarding travel reimbursements.  Olsen said that as soon as the commissioner was notified that there was a problem, he remedied the situation “that very day.”

Sitterud, who is up for re-election this November, continues to campaign for his re-election and has made campaign appearances at town celebrations throughout the county.

The Emery County Republican Party Executive Committee met less than a week after the charges were filed and voted unanimously to support Sitterud as he works to prove his innocence.  The Republican Party Central Committee, composed of representatives of the 12 precincts in the county, met on July 8 and also voted to support Sitterud.

Since the charges were filed, there have been cries that the charges were politically motivated and amounted to a “smear campaign.”

The last alleged wrongdoing by the commissioner occurred in January 2007.

During the initial court appearance Sitterud requested a preliminary hearing, which has been set for Sept. 2.

County Negotiates with SITLA on Industrial Park

James L. Davis

Emery County is in contract negotiations with the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration to finalize development of as much as 3,000 acres of land near Green River for an industrial park in the county.

During the July 15 meeting of the Emery County Commission, discussion revolved around a draft development lease between SITLA and the county for the property.  The commissioners and Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development director, were concerned with some of the language that was contained in the proposed lease agreement, specifically language that spelled out timetables for the use of land by, as of yet, unknown tenants.

The lease agreement would be for seven years, and the timetable is one of the issues the county is wrestling with.  “None of them are showstoppers, but they are areas of concern,” McCandless said.
After the meeting McCandless said what concerned him about any timetable for lease or purchase of the land was flexibility he needed to attract businesses to the area.

“I have to have the flexibility to go out and recruit clients,” McCandless said.
While there are areas where SITLA and the county don’t see eye-to-eye in regards to an agreement, McCandless stressed it was not a huge problem and amounted to normal contract negotiations.

The county has been working to develop the industrial park for more than a year and originally approached SITLA about the prospect in June of 2007.  After several months of discussion SITLA initially rejected the proposal and the county made some modifications to its proposal and resubmitted.  SITLA approved a letter of intent with the county in December and the development lease is the next step in the process.

Already there has been interest in the industrial park and the Emery County Planning Commission is working to put together a public hearing to solicit comments on a proposal by Mancos Resources for the construction of a uranium mill at the industrial park.

According to McCandless there have been a number of corporations interested in development projects in the county but the availability of large enough tracts of land has always been an issue that could not be overcome.

“The struggle has been to find large enough tracts of land to accommodate the project needs.  These are large treacts of land, typically 200 to 300 acres or more.”

Discussions on Pedestrian Safety on Main Street Dominate Huntington Council Meeting

Josie Luke

In their first city council meeting since two auto-pedestrian accidents occurred in late June and early July, the Huntington City Council was drawn again and again to the subject, and to how they might prevent such accidents in the future.

In her mayor’s report, Hilary Gordon stated that she had again requested a study by the Utah Department of Transportation on the need for a traffic light in the city. She said that although UDOT had completed a study the previous year and had concluded that a light was not needed, she would continue to press the issue, hoping that it might make Main Street a safer place for both pedestrians and automobiles.

The council also discussed the possibility of changing the controls on street lights from photo sensors to timers, thus bypassing the sensors that have at times been undependable. They also discussed whether white lights should be installed instead of the usual orange-tinted lights, so that drivers could see pedestrians more easily at night.

Councilperson Travis Larsen encouraged the council and citizens to be vigilant while driving. He revealed that since the latter accident, which he said “really affected me and my family”, he had been paying “special attention” as he drove down Main Street.

Larsen proposed that the city consider placing signs at each end of town requiring thru-traffic to stay left in order to increase visibility. The council supported the idea, electing to ask UDOT if such a step could be taken.

Councilperson Kathy Cowley also addressed the issue during her report. She commented that the city needs to “be more vigilant about encouraging kids to stay out of the road.” She suggested that schools discuss the subject with students during assemblies the first week of school.
During the meeting, the council voted to grant Emery Telcom digital television franchise rights for their internet protocol television service, which Jared Anderson, Emery Telcom spokesman said is still on track to be on line for the fourth quarter of 2008.

The council also approved the expenditure of approximately $175,000 of city funds to expand the sidewalks on Main Street, pouring concrete in park strips which have been neglected or are especially difficult to care for.

Larsen reported that the benches the beautification committee had purchased for Main Street had arrived, and would be installed soon. He also said the town clock, which would arrive in two to four weeks, will be placed near the city hall.

Green River Approves Contract for New Airport Management

Annalee Thayn

The Green River City council met for their regular monthly meeting on July 15. A summary of the meeting includes:

All minutes and reports from previous meetings were unanimously approved.

The family of Alma and Leona Scovill asked permission to place a park bench in the O.K. Anderson Park dedicated to Alma and Leona Scovill. Permission was granted. The family will do the work of installing the bench.

Contracts were approved for doing business with Red Tail Aviation at the Green River Airport. Two contracts were approved, one defining the manager’s agreement of Red Tail Aviation. The other for the fixed based operator lease agreement.

Several items on the agenda were discussed, but not ready for a vote at the time. A curfew in Green River may need to be re-emphasized. This matter was tabled until a later date.

Judge Betty Burns has retired. Judge Steven Stream will commute from Castle Dale to take of judicial matters in Green River until a decision is made on a new judge.  Mayor Pat Brady will go to a commissioner’s meeting and ask that a judge be assigned to Green River, making it possible for the citizens to not have to travel so far when a court matter comes up. The public is invited to attend.
The roads in Green River needing repairs will hopefully be crack sealed in the fall, but will need to wait a full year until they can be chip sealed. The better roads in Green River are in need of crack sealing to preserve them. City leadership is hopeful that money can be obtained to create better roads in Green River in the future.

Aug. 19 is the day scheduled for the new Senior Citizen’s Center to be opened, and Mayor Pat Brady will sign a “Senior Citizen’s Day” declaration.

Killed were James Innes of Salt Lake City, Andrew Innes of Park City and George McDaniel of Idaho Falls, Idaho.  The three were reportedly returning from a fishing expedition on Range Creek.

The helicopter had lifted off from Carbon County Airport without incident and went down northeast of Price. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Summer Games a Family Affair for Clements

Josie Luke

For the Clement Family, the 2008 Utah Summer Games marked the fifth year they have competed as a family. In that five year span, the Clements have raked in a total of 107 medals at the games: 45 gold, 39 silver and 23 bronze, but more importantly, the event serves as fun way for the family to spend time together.

Benjamin and Collette Clement see the summer games as more than just an opportunity to compete, for them, they said, it is “about the spirit of the games. Just the opportunity to go down together and have fun, relax, cheer, laugh and just enjoy our family makes the summer games something we look forward to all year long.”

When the Clement’s oldest son Bruce was in high school, his parents began looking for ways for him to have more competitive experiences in throwing events. “When Bruce was in high school, he was becoming quite competitive in his throws,” Collette explained. So, they enrolled him in a couple of throwing camps, and also decided he needed to participate in more track meets to get competition experience.

Ben searched online for possible competitions and came across a website for the Utah Summer Games. According to Collette, by that time the other boys, Zachary, Jake, Tyrell and Colton were showing interest in throwing, and she and her husband were “quite involved” and they decided to take the entire family.

It was that first year, that Ben thought they should call themselves the Clement Family Slingers, which Collette explained was a play on the Von Trap Family Singers.

 Since that first time, the family has prepared each year to make their annual trip to the games. While they are there, they stay at Eccles Dorm, which provides living space and a kitchen. When they arrive, the boys unpack while Ben and Collette buy groceries so the family can spend more time together in the dorm.

Collette related that they also bring movies, so that in the evening when they “can no longer move and are sunburned to a crisp, [they] can just hang out and convalesce as a family, leaving phone, email, work, etc. far behind.”

This year, the Clements added a seventh member to their team. “We are so fortunate to have added a new member to our family, McKenzie Fox Clement,” said Collette.

Each member of the family is allowed to compete in four events each year– the throwing events have proven to be the favorites. The two older boys, Zac and Bruce, and the parents compete in shot put, discus, javelin throw and hammer throw every year, but because the younger boys aren’t allowed to compete in hammer throw, they have participated in a number of other events, including the 1500- or 3000-meter race walk, long jump, 200-meter dash and high jump.

The family has done quite well every year they have competed, winning more than 100 medals. In 2006, Zac set a record in the shot put, with a throw of 41 feet, 8 3/4 inches, a record that still stands for intermediate boys, 15- 16 years old.

During the competition, the family enjoys cheering for each other. The boys said that this year, one of the funniest moments occurred as Ben was preparing to throw the javelin one last time. To give him “inspiration”, they decided to “give him a group Tarzan yell, and pound their chests” while he threw. They boys laughed when an older lady in the audience thought they were doing it for her.

Each member of the Clement Family has reason to believe that they might be the best athlete in the family. Bruce was the one who started it all for the family, Tyrell has tried the most events, McKenzie won two medals in her first year of competition, but Collette’s argument may have been the most convincing. “I am the best at making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible,” she said. “I buy the team uniforms, sign us up for the games, schedule the dorm room, provide first aid, decide the menu and pick the movies.”

They would encourage others who are considering competing in the games to do it. “Bring it on!” they said. “A family that plays together stays together.”

Millsite Golf Course has Record-Breaking Month

Josie Luke

June was an outstanding month for Millsite Golf course. Despite all the worries over the national economy, Millsite smashed their record in green fees and carts, bringing in nearly $35,000, which according to golf pro Jordan Leonard is $9,000 more than they made last June.

Leonard called the month “fantastic”, revealing that it was “the best month we’ve ever done on record.” Already, they have sold more season golf passes than they did last year, and if the trend continues, they will have sold 100 by the end of the season. He added that their success is continuing in July, with incoming fees keeping pace with June records.

“I would just tell the community thanks for their support in making this one of the central recreational places in the county,” he expressed. “We have had a lot of support from Emery County folks. We’ve also seen a lot of people from the Salt Lake Area, and even some from Colorado.”

He attributed some of the success to Millsite simply being a “unique and beautiful course that is in great shape,” but added he believes that because of high gas prices, people are more drawn to what he referred to as “destinations.” Leonard said that because of Millsite State Park and Ferron Mountain being near by, people are staying in one place for several days to take in all of the opportunities. “They’re more likely to make a little vacation out of it,” he said.

With business booming, Leonard is also especially excited that construction on the nine- hole addition will begin in the winter and spring. “It’s getting to the point where we are getting busy enough that we can use the other nine holes,” he commented.

Local Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Reflects Current Issues in National Program

Josie Luke

Sometimes I find it difficult to formulate a solid opinion on certain issues. After reading an article recently about issues the Bureau of Land Management is having in dealing with their wild horse and burro management program, I found myself in just such a situation.

On one hand, I understand that when people are put in difficult situations, sometimes undesirable things must be done to solve the problem, but sometimes those solutions are arguably worse than the initial problem.

On June 28, the BLM held a wild horse and burro adoption at the Castle Dale Arena. They use such adoptions to find homes for many of the animals that they remove from BLM lands. They remove the animals to keep populations in line with the number of such animals they have determined can thrive on the land.

The Castle Dale adoption proved to be somewhat of a disappointment for the BLM, because they only sold 12 animals– eight horses and four burros– at a venue where they usually do quite well. Price Assistant Field Manager Wayne Ludington put it tactfully, “It wasn’t as good as we’d hoped.”

The result in Castle Dale reflects a national trend. In a fact sheet provided on the BLM’s website, it states, “The BLM attempts to place as many animals as possible each year into private care through public adoptions, but adoptions have been declining in recent years because of higher fuel and food costs. Adoptions declined from 5,701 in fiscal year 2005 to 4,772 in fiscal year 2007.”
With the decline in adoptions, comes the need for the BLM to care for a greater number of horses and burros, but rising costs in caring for the horses are making that very difficult. Of the $37 million budget provided for the program, over $26 million is spent just on holding costs.

“As of 2008, there are more than 30,000 wild horses and burros that are fed and cared for at short- and long-term holding facilities. Right now, the cost of keeping these animals in holding facilities is spiraling out of control and preventing the agency from managing other parts of the program,” reads a statement from the website.

Locally, just such a thing has happened. The Price BLM office had planned on removing some animals from local herds this year with funds provided by the national agency, but because of an emergency round-up in Nevada, the money is no longer available.

Ludington explained that for now, this does not put the local population in as dire a situation as is seen in other areas. The local office has a herd size range in which they consider the herds safe. He said that the number “has not exceeded the high level yet.”
With the lack of funding, decline in adoptions, and herd populations that according to the bureau can double every four years, the BLM is being faced with an extremely difficult and painful situation. If the situtation continues to worsen, their first option is to “sell older and certain other unadopted animals ‘without limitation’ to any willing buyers,” and their second, awful option is to “euthanize those wild horses and burros for which no adoption demand exists.”

Though I understand that the BLM is in a tight spot, the question I have is “what got us to this point?” The first answer that comes to mind is human error. Whether that error comes from inadequate projections on the part of the BLM, or the more basic issue of a bad economy, produced because of what I see as ineffective legislation and poor international diplomacy, the animals didn’t put themselves in the current situation.

Now, I’m not one of those “d#$% environmentalist, tree-hugging animal lovers” so many from the area love to hate, although I do understand their viewpoint more than most, I just hate the thought of horses being euthanized, period.

I grew up believing that horses are not to be used as many other animals often are from my grandpa. Some of my favorite talks with him have been about horses. I love listening to him tell stories about riding when he was younger, explaining how to act around them, and especially talking about his favorite horses.

After one extraordinary horse died unexpectedly about a month ago, I sat on the lawn and tried to be “tough.” While I was sitting there, my grandpa walked by me and said, “Posie, that just about makes ya sick.” I responded, “It does make me sick.” And then, I tried really hard not to cry. It didn’t work.

So, in solving the situation with the wild horses and burros, my judgment may be a little clouded, but I hope we can figure out another way to deal with the problem. Though it may be much simpler to simply euthanize “excess animals,” I think those who have contributed to the problem need to take responsibility and figure out how to fix it.

The Bureau of Land Management is encouraging public comment on their website, www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/wild_horse_and_burro/Statement_06_30_2008.html, or by telephone at 1-800-710-7597. Hopefully those who are more educated than I am on possible solutions, can offer more positive alternatives.
