One Wild Ride

The 2008 Desertview Pro Rodeo was “by far, the best three nights of rodeo we’ve ever had,” according to organizers.

With the help of countless volunteers, the rodeo broke all-time attendance records, both on Thursday night and overall.

The 10th anniversary hide races proved to be a crowd favorite, with a judge and an electronic eye taken out by race participants, and a participant losing her britches.

“I can’t pay for that kind of funny, “Shannon Hiatt, Emery County Recreation Director related.
“Tough enough to wear pink” night, Saturday, brought in more that $1,500 to Perkie Travels from attendees who wore pink, and additional funds from the sale of merchandise and food.

This year, the Castle Valley Ranch donated half of a beef on two of the three nights for the raffle. Moge Cologie and Sarah Grindley were the winners.

Nuclear Powered Debate

Questions arise as company eyes industrial park for possible nuclear power plant

James L. Davis

The prospects of a nuclear powered Emery County became a topic of discussion and disagreement during the July 15 meeting of the Emery County Commission.

During the public comments portion of the meeting John Urgo of HEAL Utah, an organization opposed to nuclear power, urged the county to reconsider supporting plans by Transition Power Development for a proposed nuclear power plant near Green River.

Transition Power has expressed interest in Emery County’s industrial park being developed outside Green River for the location of a nuclear power plant, and the county has signed an option contract with the company that allows Transition Power first option on purchasing acreage for the plant development.

From a slide presentation he discussed with the commission, Urgo said using history as a guide, betting the farm on a nuclear revival only gave the county a 50/50 chance of ever seeing it pay off.  He said there have been more nuclear reactor orders canceled than completed in the United States.
Commissioner Gary Kofford told Urgo that he was “putting the cart before the horse” in regards to a nuclear power plant.  “We aren’t jumping on board anything that hasn’t been thoroughly looked at and studied.”

If Transition Power did decide on the Green River site for development of a nuclear plant, the road to development of a plant is long and winding, and an initial application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission wouldn’t be filed until 2010, with construction taking years after that.  Before a plant development got to that point the process would be exhaustive and complicated.

“Commissioner Kofford told me I was putting the cart before the horse in coming to the meeting, and while it’s true an application to the NRC might not be filed until 2010, and construction will take years, the county’s role could be done in a few weeks or months,” Urgo said after the meeting. 

“I say this because the commission agreed to an option contract with Transition Power in April that goes into effect once the land deal is finalized with SITLA (State Institutional Trust Lands Administration). Mike McCandless (Emery County Economic Development director) told me this deal is being finalized through phone calls and emails and could become final in the next few weeks.  So I guess my point is that if people in Green River or Emery County do have questions or concerns about this proposal, they won’t be able to turn to their local government once the SITLA deal is finished,” Urgo said.

McCandless countered that even when the SITLA process is finalized there would still be a great many possibilities for public involvement, starting with planning and zoning requirements. He said the option contract had very little significance at this point in time.

“All it does is allow them to do some studies to see if it is even a feasible site,” he said, indicating that the option contract is not in effect today and wouldn’t be until a lease agreement is finalized with SITLA.

During the meeting Urgo claimed that the county planned to use tax revenue for the development, but after the meeting he was able to get clarification on the issue from McCandless.

“After talking with Mike McCandless, it is my understanding now that these are new tax dollars that would come from the sale of the land, not existing tax dollars.  The contracts for the sale are also going to be written so that Mancos (company planning to develop a uranium mill at the industrial park) and Transition Power have to put up some of their own money for infrastructure improvements.  So I do believe that the deal with SITLA is structured to protect the taxpayers of Emery County from having to put up existing revenues for improvements that could then be lost,” Urgo told The Emery County Review.

With that said, Urgo pointed out that nuclear power is the most heavily subsidized energy sector in history and everyone will be paying tax dollars for any new nuclear power plants developed in the United States.

“My argument is that we shouldn’t give more of our tax dollars to an industry that has been around for 50 years and should be required to stand on its own two feet,” Urgo said.

During his discussion with the commissioner Urgo said the county would be better served to be looking at other, more environmentally friendly forms of power development.  McCandless said that the county does talk to other developers.  He indicated that he will talk to any developer that expresses an interest in the industrial park

“We have talked to a lot of energy companies.  We talk to them all of the time.  But they have to get to where they’re willing to spend money and so far Transition Power has said they’re willing to spend money,” McCandless said.

During the commission meeting Mark H. Williams of Castle Dale asked Urgo to tell him when the last nuclear accident had occurred in the country and indicted that he felt nuclear power was safe and would bring needed jobs into the county.

Urgo acknowledged that there hadn’t been an incident at a nuclear plant for more than 20 years and after the meeting said he understood some of the hostility toward the message he was bringing regarding nuclear power.

“I think the reaction was a result of me being perceived as an outsider trying to tell the county what to do.  And I understand that, and the suspicion.  I just hope people treat the companies coming in with the same suspicion.  I also think people are suspicious because they’ve lived off the land for years, but in the last 25 years or so they’ve been told what they can and can’t do with their land more often.  While it’s always been public land, no one outside these communities really bothered for years and it was left to local control.  Now, people are being told what roads they can drive on, what areas are now off limits, what you can do with livestock.  I think the environmental movement has done itself a great deal of harm by promulgating regulations from above and not starting first in local communities to try to build support, or at least consensus, for some of these changes,” Urgo said.

If the development of a nuclear power plant makes its first, tentative steps toward development, it will be the second business for the industrial park with a nuclear theme.  Manco Resources Inc. is moving forward with plans to develop a uranium mill through the lease of up to 800 aces of land at the park.  The uranium mill would produce 1,200 tons of ore each day and produce 2.4 tons of yellowcake.  The uranium mill would be the first tenant of the new industrial park once the agreement with SITLA is finalized.  The plant is expected to cost $100 million to build. A public hearing regarding the uranium mill development is being planned for September.

HEAL Utah is also opposed to the development of the uranium mill and points to the poor track record of uranium mills in the past in regards to safety and environmental stewardship.

“We’re still dealing with the past legacy with Atlas, the cancer cluster in Monticello, and there are residents in Blanding concerned about groundwater contamination from the White Mesa mill.  It’s going to cost over $1 billion just to remove the Atlas mill tailings, and it cost a few hundred million to remediate the other sites that existed in Utah.  Again, these are costs to taxpayers, not to the companies that created these messes,” he said.

Also speaking to the commission during the July 15 meeting was Sarah Fields of Uranium Watch in Moab.  She expressed concern about the proposed uses of the industrial park and said that if the county sold as much as 1,600 acres to Transition Power for a nuclear power plant and another 700 to 800 acres to Mancos Resources for a uranium mill, that would leave very little of the 3,300 acres left at the industrial park for anything else.

“The plans for a nuclear power plant are going on under the radar.  I have no knowledge of Transition Power having any meetings to discuss what they are wanting to do.  I don’t think the county has a very good picture of what a nuclear power plant will mean next to the Green River,” Field said.
McCandless and the commission again stressed that everything is in a preliminary stage and there is no evidence, as of yet, that the development of a nuclear plant at the site is even feasible.

Reports point finger
at mine owners, MSHA

Josie Luke

After waiting for nearly a year, family of the nine men who were killed, and community members listened as separate reports, released last week, condemned both the operators of Crandall Canyon Mine and the Mine Safety and Health Administration for their roles in the Crandall Canyon Mine Accident.

The lengthy reports, one completed by MSHA and the other by an independent review team, chronicled numerous missteps taken by both groups.

The report completed by MSHA revealed the mining plan used at the Crandall Canyon Mine was “destined to fail,” and despite the claims of the mine’s owner, “The August 6 collapse was not a “natural” earthquake, but rather was caused by a flawed mine design.”

The report concluded, “The extensive pillar failure and subsequent inundation of the section by oxygen-deficient air occurred because of inadequacies in the mine design, faulty pillar recovery methods, and failure to adequately revise mining plans following coal burst accidents.” 

Families of the men who died were the first to hear the final MSHA report the morning of July 24. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Colin King, an attorney for the heirs of six of the miners who died and two injured miners reported, “There is sadness, pain, dread and some relief that this is past them. They were intensely interested in what MSHA had to say. [The report] brings pain and progress to these families, a strange mixture of knowledge and additional questions.”

MSHA’s report cited Genwal Resources Inc. for not “reporting the extent” of a coal burst which occurred on March 6, “failing to immediately inform MSHA” of bursts on March 7 and August 3, submitting an “inadequate roof plan”, “failing to revise its roof control program” after the three previous bursts, continuing to “expose miners to unsafe conditions” and “violating the roof control plan when coal was mined in a prohibited area”.

The report called the failure to adequately report the previous bounces “particularly critical,” because they “deprived MSHA of the information it needed to properly assess and approve GRI’s mining plans.”

Because of the actions uncovered in the report, MSHA fined the mine’s operators over $1.6 million and fined Agapito Associates, who completed the engineering analysis on the mining plan, $220,000.
In a statement, Genwal Resources rebutted the report. “We hoped that the accident investigation of the Mine Safety and Health Administration would provide objective and reliable findings to help bring helpful changes to the industry, additional insight to the company and some measure of closure for the families. But, regrettably, this report does not have the benefit of all the facts and appears to have been tainted in part by ten months of relentless political clamoring to lay blame for these tragic events,” they argued.

“All of the facts must be acknowledged for the accident investigation process to yield the very best improvements in mine safety. As such, we pledge to learn as much as we can, especially in areas where this report appears deficient. We will do whatever we can to make mining safer.”

The federal agency was similarly criticized by the independent report, prepared for Elaine L. Chao, Secretary of Labor, United States Department of Labor. The report revealed that MSHA failed to “fully meet its responsibility by approving the roof plans,” and that this failure “contributed to the occurrence of the August 6 accident.”

The independent report censured MSHA for “inadequate evaluation of the engineering data”, “inadequate oversight of the plan evaluation and approval process”, “inadequate resolution of inconsistencies identified in the engineering data”, “failure to consider the impact” of the March 10 bounce, and more.

After the report was issued, MSHA received especially heavy criticism from Mike Dalpiaz, who is the international vice president for the United Mine Workers of America. According to the Tribune, Dalpiaz said, “They approved it all. So, hell yeah, they deserve the blame. They could have stopped that thing in its tracks.”

In their response to the report, MSHA stated, “while we disagree with some of the report’s findings, many of the recommendations are helpful, and MSHA intends to adopt changes that will be effective in moving forward toward that goal. With regard to the majority of deficiencies identified by the [independent report], additional improvements can and should be made. In fact, before issuance of the final report, MSHA fully implemented changes that address 13 recommendations.”

Along with criticisms of the mine’s operators, the MSHA report also explained how, after three studies, the agency believes the accident happened. The report stated, “The outburst initiated near the section pillar line (the general area where the miners were working) and propagated toward the mine portal. Within seconds, overstressed pillars failed throughout the South Barrier section over a distance of approximately 1/2 mile.

“Coal was expelled into the mine openings on the section, likely causing fatal injuries to Kerry Allred, Don Erickson, Jose Luis Hernandez, Juan Carlos Payan, Brandon Phillips, and Manuel Sanchez. The barrier pillars to the north and south of the South Barrier section also failed, inundating the section with lethally oxygen-deficient air from the adjacent sealed area(s), which may have contributed to the death of the miners.

As to the efforts of the three rescuers who were killed in the second incident on August 16, the report said, “The prospect of saving the entrapped miners’ lives warranted the heroic efforts of the rescue workers. The greater risks imposed on the rescue workers underscore the high degree of care that must be taken by mine operators to prevent catastrophic pillar failures.”

Fire continues to burn on Dry Mountain

A lightning caused fire in the Ferron Creek drainage continues to burn, with smoke and flames visible from Ferron Canyon Road. The fire is approximately nine miles west of Ferron on Dry Mountain and started on July 22.

The fire is expected to burn for the next few weeks, depending on weather conditions and fire behavior, according to the Ferron Ranger District.

There are no closures due to the fire at this time.  The fire is being managed to accomplish resource objectives as outlined in the Manti-La Sal’s Fire Management Plan.  Under specific management guidelines, the plan allows naturally ignited fires to burn within designated Wildland Fire Use areas.  Under these conditions, fire is allowed to play its natural role on the landscape.  Wildland fire use accomplishes many resource benefits including improvement to wildlife habitat for mule deer and elk and reduction of the build-up of hazardous fuels.     Wildland fire use can also reduce fire suppression costs and keep firefighters available for priority fire suppression efforts elsewhere.

Monitoring is a high priority.  Managers review the fire’s progress and weather forecasts to determine if the fire stays in pre-designated boundaries and if resource objectives are being met.

Wild fire use is often a long duration event.  Fires may burn all summer until snow or rain puts them out or they may burn only one or two days.  Smoke can be a temporary inconvenience to the general public along with limited travel and potential closure of public use within the effected areas.  Closures are not expected in the Dry Mountain Fire Use area.

Questar proposes settlement on tax appeal

James L. Davis

County leaders are weighing their options on how to approach an appeal of centrally assessed taxes by Questar for the years 2006 and 2007.

Questar, doing business as Questar Gas, Questar Pipeline Company and Questar Transportation Company, has appealed its centrally assessed property taxes and in the July 15 meeting of the Emery County Commission, county Treasurer Steven J. Barton informed the commissioners that Questar is now suggesting a settlement agreement with counties in the state.

According to Barton the settlement agreement mirrors a similar agreement the Utah Tax Commission imposed in assessing values for PacifiCorp in 2006.  The Utah Association of Counties is waiting for all of the counties of Utah to decide if they want to settle on the tax appeal or go through the expense of legal fees to take the appeal to court. 

Counties have fought centrally assessed tax appeals by corporations in court in the past, but the success rate on winning those cases have been less than stellar.

For Emery County’s part, the commission has not yet decided whether it would be in the county’s best interest to fight the tax appeal.  If Questar is granted tax relief, the county would have to repay Questar $6,327 and the Emery County School District would be required to repay $8,087.

According to Barton, the county has the right to impose a judgment levy on all taxpayers to reimburse the county the money lost by the repayment, should the amount be more than $5,000.  The county would have to consider such an option because in its budgets for years 2006 and 2007 it based the budgets on the funds being available.

In 2006 in Emery County Questar Gas property assessed value was $1,519,137 and in 2007 the company property was assessed at $1,524,349

In 2006 Questar Pipeline property was assessed value at $2,859,503 and in 2007 $2,950,358.
In 2006 Questar Transportation Services property was valued at $6,688,115 and in 2007 $6,390,276.

Citizens’ concerns dominate
Castle Dale City Council meeting

Josie Luke

Discussion of citizens’ concerns dominated the Castle Dale City Council meeting held July 23. The council addressed several concerns, including holiday fireworks displays scaring animals.

Carl Bott approached the council with his concerns of the large fireworks scaring animals. Bott explained that he hears about animals being frightened every year after the city’s fireworks, with many dog owners trying to find missing dogs the next morning.

He also said he knew of a horse that had been hurt going through a fence because it was frightened by the fireworks and expressed concern that he has sheep in a field near the location where the fireworks are set off.

Bott stressed it was not his desire to discontinue the display; rather he wanted to see if there was another solution to the problem, possibly relocating the place where the fireworks were set off.
The council discussed the issue and decided that before making such a large change, they would first attempt to solve the problem by eliminating the loudest booming fireworks after the rodeo on Thursday night.

In a phone interview on Friday, Bott revealed that the animals’ initial reaction was as severe as usual, but as the display continued, it “wasn’t quite as bad.” He said the elimination of the louder fireworks “was a good starting point.”

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.

‘Outsourcing’ Brings Conflicting Emotions

Josie Luke

Imagine this: Two areas, one across the border from the other. One has a large population, some of whom are willing to, or have to work for lower wages. The other is a group that can use the more populated area’s lower wage earning workers to fill positions in service jobs. Because of this, jobs and resulting tax income are outsourced to the other.

With outsourcing currently being such a hot button issue, and therefore the most obvious conclusion being that the description was referring to the United States and Mexico, for many who read the previous description, anger rises to the surface. But, if one rereads the description, replacing the populations with Carbon and Emery counties, and the low-wage earning workers with the hundreds of college students at the College of Eastern Utah, the reaction is decidedly different.

When jobs are outsourced across national borders or overseas, there is an outcry, but when according to a recent study, Carbon County is pulling in 140 percent of its expected business and Emery County is only managing 80 percent, people are much less upset, even saying that the two counties “need” each other.

I admit, there are some differences between the two examples, but to me, the differences are not dramatic enough-- unless it can be explained by prejudice-- to justify the differences in the reactions.
But before anyone perceives me as someone who believes she is better than others in this regard, I must explain that although I have less of a problem with the international situation, I incongruously have more of a problem with the local issue, so I am as bad as anyone else.

So, when I began writing a commentary about the reasons people should do their shopping locally, I had to take some time to consider the hypocrisy of my opinions. Why do I use one type of reasoning in one situation, and another in the second situation? Why does it seem, to me, mean for people to be so angry about people crossing a national border to get jobs, or about companies who outsource jobs to people-- who I view as deserving a job as much as I deserve it-- when it makes me upset that people would drive over a border to get what they see as lower prices, when local businesses offer the same services?

Why? I’m not sure, but I plan to spend some time figuring it out and I invite anyone with the same conflicting opinion, or the alternative, still conflicting opinion, to do the same.
