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.

For the second year in a row Rising Sun Quarter Horses of Castle Dale hauled horses from Utah, Arizona, Idaho and California to compete in this prestigious event.  In 2007 Hal and April Schiffner from Rising Sun took four horses and returned home to Utah with a World Champion.  They enjoyed the show so much that they put together a show string for 2008 especially for this show and invited several other people to attend with them. 

All together 11 horses were in the Rising Sun barn in Tulsa for 2008.  On June 16 “RH Just Ledoux It” a 3-year-old gelding owned by Mae and Robin Hutchins of Perris, Calif., was named Reserve World Champion Breeding Stock Gelding.  This nice gelding was trained and shown by Hal.  Later in the week Hal and RH Just Ledoux it were named 3rd place overall in Breeding Stock Trail.

That same day “Comedy Star” a 4-year-old stallion was named Reserve World Champion Stallion.  He is owned and was shown in the Amateur Class by Carol Stiner of Kuna, Idaho and shown in the Open Class by Schiffner, where he placed 3rd overall.

“Hi Country Socks”  an aged Gelding took  4th place overall in the Youth Leadline class, shown by Bailey Keele  who is 7 years old and lives in Richfield.

 “Comedy Kid” a yearling gelding, took 4th place overall in Yearling Breeding Stock Geldings. He is owned by Carol Stiner of Kuna and was shown by Schiffner

On  June 18, “Commotion Caused” a weanling stallion owned by John and Pam Padilla of Goodyear, Ariz., won the great honor of World Champion.  He was trained and shown by Schiffner, and  the win was very exciting both for Hal and his owners, who plan to have Hal exhibit him at the Paint World Show in November in Fort Worth, Texas.  Having lost his accomplished sire in February of this year, he is a shining star and possible replacement for John and Pam.  This was his first show and he is just starting  to fill the big shoes of his sire.

Also on June 18, “”RJK Wheel Of Fortune”  a 2-year- old gelding, won  the  World Champion designation. He is owned and was shown by Ric Keele of Richfield.

“Im Here To Play” a 4 year old mare was 4th place overall in Tobiano Mares.  She is also owned and was shown by Ric Keele of Richfield.

Tulsa is always rainy and warm in June but the Rising Sun gang barely noticed, having one full week of busy showing.  LaDonna Nelson from Price has worked for Rising Sun for more than two years and is a major part of the success story.  LaDonna fits and grooms all of the show horses for the farm.  This annual world championship show offers something for everyone, including classes for ponies, minis and gaited horses registered with the Pinto Horse Association of America.  There is a costume class, a dog show (complete with costumes), a trainer’s leadline class and the association also hosts a free barbecue with live entertainment.

Anyone wishing for information on this show or the Pinto Horse Association of America can contact them at www.pinto.org or phone them at 405-491-0111.  They can also contact Hal Schiffner at 435-749-7120. He would be happy to talk to you about registering your spotted horse as a Pinto.

Wilderness Program up and Running in Huntington

Josie Luke

Many residents of Emery County appreciate the surrounding area because of the ability they have to have two very different environments in such close proximity, with the Manti la Sal Mountains to the west and the San Rafael Swell to the east; this also made the area a perfect place for a group of entrepreneurs looking for an area to run a wilderness therapy program.

Elements Wilderness Program is one of the newest businesses to select Emery County as the place to base their operations. With an office in Huntington, the program is now up and running, and began accepting clients on May 30.

Wilderness therapy is emerging as a viable alternative option for the treatment of youth. It incorporates group and individual therapy with the opportunity for youth to learn how to take care of themselves and cooperate with others while working through challenges in an unfamiliar environment.

 Program Director Karen Hesselman described the group’s reasons for selecting the area. “Our first thought was that we’d like to be a little bit closer to our home, Salt Lake, but there really was nothing remote that would work. The elevation was a problem because we need two different field areas, one for summer and one for winter,” she said.

“So, Huntington and Emery County, this strip along Highway 10, was perfect because you have the Forest on one side and you have the Swell on the other. This is really nice, just being in between the two different field areas. ”

She also explained another benefit to the location-- safety, saying, “The time it will take for us to get to the group on either side is quick and that is a big deal for us for safety. It seems like the perfect fit.”

The partners in the business are Hesselman, Admissions Director John Karren, and Clinical Director Lynn Smith. All have previous experience with similar programs. They joined to organize a program they believe will benefit those adolescents who are involved. “We want to go back to the real wilderness piece, as in using the outdoors as a therapy tool, getting rid of all the distractions,” Hesselman stated.  

The Field Director Dan Shorb explained their program’s approach. “This program is smaller and we’re trying to specialize by dealing with less, what we would call, clinical kids, meaning, students that aren’t acting out as much as others in other programs,” he said. “I think our specialization is really a kind of a symbol of where this genre of educational programs has gone. From its real roots of being kind of boot camp style, to now where its gone to the other extreme to where its very therapeutic and very clinical.”

In this light, in the program the youth are referred to as students and staff are called field mentors. For every group of 10 students, there are four field mentors assigned. The field mentors will work with the students for eight days and then have six days off, with a another group of mentors alternating in each week.     

Most students will be referred to the program through an educational consultant who is versed in the many different treatment types and treatment providers, and selects a specific program according to the needs of the client. Parents can also find such programs online. Information on the Elements program can be found at www.elementswilderness.com.

Hesselman also revealed that it took a great deal of time to get permits and licenses in hand for the group to finally be able to open such a business in the area. A license had to be granted from the state, a business license from the city, and permits from the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.  

She related, “It would come and go, one day it would be really exciting and I would think ‘everything’s working perfectly,’ and then the next day, you’re just totally depressed and depleted because there would be another glitch. It was up and down a lot, but everything seems to be working out now that we’re up and running.”

Hesselman and her partners are pleased to be in the area and plan to look to the community for support. “We still need a lot of local support to make it happen. We will need more employees as we start to go, so I hope everyone is open to what we have to offer and know that we are very interested in bringing the community into what we’re doing. We do want to know the community and use the resources and hopefully they’re accepting,” she said.

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.

Summer Games a Family Affair for Clements

-The Clement Family, who have competed in the Utah Summer Games for the past 5 years, find themselves with tons of medals, and many more great memories.

Millsite Golf Course has Record-Breaking Month

-June was an outstanding month for Millsite Golf course who 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.

 

 

 

 

 


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.

Camping is a Dirty Job

James L. Davis

Camping is not a spectator sport.  I know because I have tried.  You have to get in there and you have to be willing to get a little dirty if you’re going to have any fun.

There are those who might say that camping is not a sport at all and for those who might say such a thing, I would say you are sadly mistaken.  If you are one of those campers who take a trailer or RV that is larger than my first two apartments put together with you when you camp, I hate to tell you but that is not camping.  I know this because my children have told me so and why would they lie? You are visiting nature in a mobile, sterile environment, which is not camping.

Nature is not in any way a sterile environment.  Nature is dirty, messy and if you play your cars right, muddy, which makes it a lot of fun.

Up until this summer, whenever I have been camping it has been without a camper.  OK, I take that back, I have been camping in a camper, but it was a 1954 camper that was shaped like an egg and had a bed in it.  Other than that it had little similarity to the campers you see nowadays.  If you are camping in one of today’s massive moving mansions and you become bored with nature, you can always go inside and play a game of basketball on your indoor, regulation court.

We only used the 1954 camper, that we affectionately called “The Egg” a couple of times and then parked it in the back yard.  We parked it because our 1954 camper was still rolling on 1954 tires and I was entirely too cheep to buy new ones.

While my kids thought “The Egg” was cool, they did not want to camp in it because camping on a bed was not camping at all.  They wanted to camp on the ground, preferably without a tent, or a sleeping bag.  They wanted to lie on the dirt, use a rock for a pillow and have me throw a blanket over them as they nodded off.  Not a clean blanket either, it had to be a dirty blanket, one that perhaps had been slept on my small animals for long periods of time.

I have no idea why my children were this way and it certainly wasn’t something that I taught them.  I don’t think. But whenever they mentioned camping, that is the kind of camping they wanted to do, which is why we didn’t camp nearly as much as we probably could have when they were younger.
But now that they are older their ideas about camping have changed a little bit, which is why we have a new camper.  It is still a camper that is older than my children by a couple of decades, but it does have indoor plumbing, lights and a working sink.  You can even plug a generator into it if you want to, and my children did want to.  My son wanted power so we could gather together in the great outdoors and watch a movie together, or perhaps play a video game.

My daughter was glad to have a generator because it allowed her to bring the necessary items with her when she camped, namely a hair dryer.  I tried to get my wife to convince her not to bring the hair dryer but she was on my daughter’s side.  Apparently a hair dryer is almost as important when camping as food, perhaps more so.

Which I find a little odd only in that when we camp it is my youngest daughter who still maintains some semblance of the wild creature that used to go camping and wanted to sleep on the ground with a rock for a pillow.

Shortly after arriving at the campsite and some time before she feels any need to use her hair dryer, my daughter will say quite loudly that we have arrived at camp site and therefore it is time to get muddy.

She prefers to get muddy while riding a 4-wheeler, but in the absence of a 4-wheeler she will happily jump in mud all by herself.  While she is jumping in the mud, my youngest son will stand by and complain that his clothes are getting dusty on the trail.  The reason that he does this is because his sister is intent on getting dirty, so he is intent on staying clean.  In this manner they can have something to disagree about when they aren’t drying their hair or playing video games while communing with nature.

While my children are alternately attempting to get dirty and stay clean, I prefer to sit on a camp chair and watch as mosquitoes drain the life from my body one drop at a time.

I do this because as the mosquitoes are biting me, I can fondly recall that my father absolutely hates camping.  He doesn’t see the need for it and doesn’t understand why anyone would leave their perfectly comfortable home to sleep on the ground with a rock for a pillow.

Now that I am a little older I am beginning to see the wisdom of my father in regards to camping.  If you’re going to do it, you may as well camp from something as comfortable as your house.

Video Games: From a Hobby to a Lifestyle in 50 Years

Casey Wood

Think to yourself what your children, or if you are a youth, what you have spent more time doing than anything else.  Odds are pretty good that about 80 percent of you came up with the same to answers: using the computer, or using the television.  Odds are also pretty good that more specifically those conveniences are being used for none other than video games, which have come to play a pretty big role in how mankind functions in the modern world, and how we will function in the future.  Some find this worrisome, while others embrace the role video games are playing in many people’s lives.

The first video game was invented in 1947 and was basically a very simple missile simulation.  As time passed more video games were invented and in the early 1970’s arcade games, and home gaming consoles finally began to appear rapidly throughout the world, but more specifically Asia and the U.S., and the industry has continued to grow into the blood-thirsty giant it is today. 

When some think of video games the big three come to mind, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, who are the three major gaming console providers and are a household name throughout much of the world. But in reality video games are not limited to the big three gaming consoles.  Video games are everywhere.  It is difficult to find somewhere that video games have not somehow impacted people and nearly impossible to find someone who has not taken part in the entertainment video games provide.  Video games are on the computer, both on the internet or installed on the computer itself, on television, on gaming consoles, in stores, on handhelds, and even on mobile phones.

Video games have grown from a hobby to casual gamers in stores and arcades in the 70s and 80s to a career harboring millions of individuals, whether they are imagining them, designing them, or producing them, and the spectrum grows each day as more people find themselves becoming involved in the frenzy.  The industry has integrated itself into the world so fully that average people who become very good at some games may even find themselves professionally playing video games on a gaming team, and eventually be involved in competition as heated as any sporting event.  For some, video games have been played at such an extreme level that in some cases marathon gaming sessions have resulted in the death of a gamer.

Finally, video games are not something only played anymore, but have become very significant in news and television.  There are gaming magazines, such as Game Informer, Edge, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Famitsu, Nintendo Power, Official Playstation Magazine, Official Xbox magazine, Play, and PC Gamer, television channels such as G4 and TechTV, and last but not least, E3, one of the most widely viewed festivals in the United States, is none other than a festival showing off the future of gaming. 
With all that gaming has become and all the attention it gets from so many people it is evident that gaming is not going anywhere, but that it is going to grow and thrive, and further integrate itself into humanity.  Not bad for something that started with a simple missile simulator inspired by radar.

For Huntingtons, Cooking is a Family Affair

Kathy Ockey

Sandra Huntington is a wife, mother, daughter and grandmother, but to a generation of people she is also known as “Miss Sandra” because of her pre-school, “Kiddie Korner.” 

I know Sandra as the girl who grew up next door. She just completed her 19th year of teaching preschool and revealed she is now teaching the children of some of her first students. Her children thought it was cool that she was a pre-school teacher and all of their friends came to school.    
Sandra and her husband, Doug, have six daughters: Shandy, Shalee, Brittany, Adrie, Lexie and Abby. Sandra said Doug thinks they own the market on hair spray and toilet paper. During the summer months, each one of their daughters take turns making dinner one night a week.  She said this teaches them a lot about food preparation and planning, and even provides little Abby her turn to cook. The girls have their favorite dishes, but they told Shalee she can’t make pancakes every week – she has to make a real dinner.

Sandra said she loves to “work in the yard, go camping, jet-skiing, go out to dinner and sleep-in on Saturdays.”  She also said she “loves to cook, but hates to clean-up.  I like and appreciate good food, so I have to cook it.”  Sandra said some of their fondest memories are conversations their family has around the dinner table. “It is almost like magic, you hate to see this time end and dinner runs into the late evening.  Everyone joins in with their own experiences and thoughts of the day and it brings families closer together.”

Following are some of Sandra’s favorite recipes:

-A Swell Read-

Avid Reader Points out a Couple of Great Books

Kathy Ockey

When Jo Sansavero, an avid reader, starts talking about reading and her love of books, she can cite numerous books and their authors without any hesitation.  She said she is “not a television person” and prefers reading as a pastime. 

She organized a book club within her church ward and they meet once a month.  She said it started with 10 members and is now down to six who meet regularly, and they also read all types of books in this club. 

Jo was raised in Emery County until she was 15 and her family moved to California.  She graduated from high school in San Francisco, went to college in Memphis and married her husband who was in the military.  They eventually returned to Emery County to retire.  They have two children; one son and one daughter.  Their daughter now lives in South Jordan and their son is presently in Shanghai, China working for the Olympic Committee on their computer systems.  Jo also collects Gone With the Wind memorabilia and recently had a month-long display at the Ferron Library.

Jo recently read The Bone Setter’s Daughter, by Amy Tan and highly recommends it to “everyone who has a mother they don’t understand, which is probably everyone.”  She said it is an excellent story about a mother and daughter who are coming to really know each other.  The mother is showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s and has started a list of “Things I don’t ever want to forget.”  As the story progresses, the daughter learns a lot about her mother and about her life and struggles.  Jo said it is a very well-written story and everyone can learn a lot about themselves, their mothers and their families
Jo also recommends the book, Gods in Alabama by Jocelyn Jackson.  This book is about a woman learning about herself and how the experiences in her childhood have affected her as an adult.  She also suggests that those who choose to read the book understand that it has some strong language but is very good and has excellent writing.

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.

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.
