Student Receives Life-Saving Transplant

James L. Davis

After years of waiting and hoping, after years of praying and planning, the family of Ryan Thompson finally received the call they had dreamed of on July 28.  There was a liver available for his life-saving transplant.

According to Ryan’s mother, Yolanda, the Thompson’s received a phone call around 11:30 in the morning on July 28 from the University of Utah Hospital.

“They asked, ‘does Ryan still want a transplant?’ and I was like, well yeah, and they said we want you to ask Ryan.  Ryan said, well, of course,” Yolanda said.

For Ryan, who will be a senior at Emery High School this year, the call for a transplant came not a moment too soon.  Over the past four years his health had rapidly decreased, from the point where the Eagle Scout, athlete and Honor Roll student was no longer even able to attend school.

In February, the Emery County community rallied around Ryan, holding a fundraiser to help him and his family which amazed them all and in the process new friendships were formed as everyone gave their support for a young man fighting for his life.

When the call came that a liver was available the Thompsons were told to get Ryan to the hospital as soon as possible. They wanted him at the hospital by the afternoon and his surgery was scheduled for 5 p.m.  But after the family arrived the surgery was postponed until 6:45 p.m. while tests were run on the donor liver. 

When Ryan was taken in for surgery his family and girlfriend, Brittany Hansen, were told the surgery could take as long as 10 hours.  Eight hours after going in for surgery the family was notified that the surgery had gone well and Ryan was doing fine.

“It was a long time to wait but we were able to experience the most amazing thing,” Yolanda said.

While Ryan was in surgery his family was able to meet the donor family.  “They were so happy to be able to help save the life of a child.  The doctor said he has been doing transplants for 25 years and this is the first time he could recall the families being able to meet at such an early time,” Yolanda said.

Yolanda reported that they had Ryan standing the day after his surgery and by the end of the week he was walking.  He will need to stay in the hospital for two weeks and after his release will need to stay within a one hour drive of the hospital for another month.  Yolanda said they will stay with his grandmother in Orem.

As for his prognosis, Yolanda said things look good.  She reported that they couldn’t find any other signs of cancer, so they believed the chemotherapy and radiation contained it.

“They think they got it all,” she said.

Today, Ryan can look forward to being back at Emery High for his senior year.

 “The doctors said get him enrolled in school. He will be two or three weeks late, but he’ll be there.  He’s really excited about that.  He didn’t want to miss his senior year,” Yolanda said.

As for the roller coaster ride the family has endured, they are grateful for the help of the community.

“We just really need to thank the community for all they have done for us.   Especially for the fundraiser,” she said.

Babies ‘Reborn’

Doll Creations Take ‘Best of Show’ at Fair

James L. Davis

The babies in the glass case threw a few people off at the Emery County Fair.  Visitors to the exhibits would walk through the fine arts displays and out of the corner of their eye they noticed the babies in the bassinet.  They would look once, then twice and then realize that the babies in the display case weren’t real babies after all.  But for a moment, just a moment, you could see that they weren’t entirely sure.

The dolls, referred to as Reborn Babies, are so lifelike that they are often mistaken for the real thing and for sculptor Aleina Peterson, having her babies mistaken for real babies is perhaps a testament to the work she has put into bringing them to life.

Her entry of two of her reborn babies in the county fair was the first time she had ever entered any of her work in a fair before, and she was rewarded with ribbons for Best of Division in the Adult Fine Arts, Sculpture Category.  She also won ribbons for Judges Choice and Best of Show for her reborn babies. Aleina seemed a little surprised to discover that her creations were so well received at the fair and said she was thinking about entering them in the state fair, but hadn’t completely made up her mind.

As for the painstaking detail that goes into each of her dolls, you can see in her eyes that each of her creations is a labor of love.

“Many techniques are made to make these dolls as realistic as possible,” Aleina said.  “In creating these babies it involves a two-part process, sculpting and reborning.  I first sculpt the head and limbs out of Prosculpt Clay.  Once the sculpture is complete, it is then baked to harden it. They are then sent off to be made into vinyl.  Once I receive the vinyl parts, I reborn them.  First, I paint them to create a lifelike skin tone.  The hair is rooted into the doll’s head using a rooting needle so that the hair looks as if it has grown.”

Aleina said she has met people who don’t like the reality of the reborn babies, but for her the more lifelike she can make them, the better.

Aleina started working on reborn babies about seven years ago, buying store bought babies and reborning them by painting them to look realistic and replacing plastic eyes with glass eyes.  From there she made the leap from reborning babies to sculpting babies after one day telling her husband, Patrick, “I can do that.”  Her husband told her that if she thought she could do it, then she should give it a try.

Aleina said she has never taken any lessons in sculpting and learned about sculpting and reborning babies from her friend, Denise Pratt.  Today their baby creations can both be found on the web site bountifulbaby.com.

While Aleina may never have had formal training in sculpting, she has plenty of little models to spark her imagination when it comes to sculpting babies.  With seven children, there are always plenty of little faces to draw inspiration from.

“I usually sculpt from my imagination, from what I think looks cute,  But when it comes to things like ears, my kids will be running by and I’ll say ‘stop’ and look at their ears and they’ll say ‘oh Mom,’” Aleina said with a smile.

While Patrick and Aleina already have a large family, they have occasionally mistakenly been thought to have more children than they actually do.  That has happened when Aleina has taken her reborn babies out with real children, Hyrum, 12; Martha, 10; Joseph, 8; Samantha, 6; Charles, 4; Cheyenne, 2; and Nathanael, 7 months.  She said on a trip to the store to buy clothing for the reborn babies she had taken them into the store with her.

“My kids got tired of holding them so they put them in the shopping cart,” Aleina said with a grin.  While shopping the babies eventually were in the cart with cereal and other shopping items and on the verge of being buried by groceries when Aleina heard a couple of women gasp, concerned that they were burying real babies in a shopping cart.

“I had a friend who put one of the babies in a car seat in the back of her car to keep it safe. She went into a store and someone called the police on her,” Aleina said.

A friend of one of Aleina Peterson’s daughters once confessed she didn’t really like coming over to their house to play.  It seems the baby doll heads laying around made her a little uncomfortable.
Aleina hadn’t really thought that her sculptures might be a little disconcerting for some.  When working on a new doll she said often puts the doll head on a shelf to work on later, when she has more time.

Aleina said her children have shown an interest in her work and when she is not examining their ears for the minute details for her latest creation, they will sit wand watch her as she works.  She said they all show a love of art that she hopes to see grow in them.

As for her own love of art, she said she wants to learn to paint and plans to some day pick up a brush and give it a try.  When she does it will most likely be with the same eye for detail that brings her reborn babies to life.

Emery County EMS Honored for Efforts in Crandall Canyon Mine Disaster

In August 2007, the entire nation was aware of the events as they unfolded during the more than month long Crandall Canyon mine disaster. What most people were unaware of is the heroic efforts and enumerable man hours provided by the EMS providers of Emery County.

Shortly after the early morning response on Aug. 6, 2007, by the Huntington EMTs to a “possible mine collapse, unknown injuries”, it became apparent there would be no quick rescue of the six trapped miners. Plans were put into place to have an ambulance, manned with three EMTs, on scene throughout the rescue operation. The need was not only to staff the ambulance at the mine continually for an undetermined number of days, but to maintain the normal number of responders for the Huntington community. As word spread of the situation, calls came in from EMTs in the neighboring towns of Castle Dale, Orangeville, Ferron, Emery and Green River, who were eager to do what they could to help.

Emery County EMS consists of approximately 59 volunteer EMTs, including Green River. Huntington’s ambulance is staffed by 20 of them. And like most rural volunteer EMTs, they all have other full-time jobs and responsibilities. Some would go to work and then man a shift at the mine. Others sacrificed work, home and family responsibilities to cover the 12-hour shifts.

Then on August 16th the unthinkable happened. As a crew was standing by, a mine worker rushed up to them and said: “Get your ambulance, we’ve had another cave in.” This had trapped and injured an unknown number of mine rescue workers. At the request of a mine official, one EMT on scene was asked to go underground to assist with the initial treatment and triage of the victims as they were removed from the collapsed area. With the limited information received by the EMTs on scene, Emery County dispatchers launched ambulances from Huntington, Castle Dale and Ferron, as well as Life Flight and Air Med helicopters.

As ambulances and helicopters were arriving, victims were being removed from the mine. A paramedic and flight nurse from Life Flight were there to assist with triage (the procedure to assess the severity of the victims injuries and prioritize transport. This identified which victims would be flown to hospitals up north. The others would be transported by ambulance to Castleview Hospital. In the mean time Emery’s ambulance was dispatched to Ferron to stand-by and cover the south end of the county and a Carbon County ambulance was sent to Huntington to cover the north end, so in case something happened the communities were covered. One Carbon County ambulance was also dispatched to the mine to assist with transport. By the time the event wound down a total of 10 miners were treated and transported, two by air and eight by ground. From the beginning and throughout the ordeal, the EMTs of Emery and Carbon Counties, as well as Emery County deputies and dispatchers, flight crews and mine personnel, were continually praised for performing to the highest standards of professionalism. An Emery County EMT is quoted as saying: “You have no idea how a small area like ours will act when there is a disaster. It’s not just donating something to a cause, this is personal to us.”

EMT crews worked so well together that often EMTs were doing patient care with other EMTs and transporting in ambulances that were not from the town they work in. Another EMT is quoted from an email to the county EMTs: “Even though we all work in different towns and do things differentially, and we may not always see eye to eye on things, we still strive for one thing and that is the best care for our patients. We train together, and no amount of training could have prepared us for this, but that day in August we all stepped up and we worked as one team. I’m truly honored to work with each of you and am proud to be an Emery County EMT. We should all be proud of what we do.”

On May 19, in Salt Lake City during the Utah State EMS awards, Emery County EMS was honored for their enumerable hours of service and selfless acts of professionalism, heroism and cooperation, an award for the Outstanding Response to a Specific Incident for 2007. Along with the Emery County Ambulance, the Emery County Sheriffs office, Life Flight, and Carbon County ambulance were also honored for their assistance in the rescue efforts.

The volunteer EMTs of Emery County dedicate themselves to the citizens of the county through countless hours of training and service, and would like to thank you and the other agencies, for the support given to them.

Jimmy Jones Hired as New Principal of Canyon View Junior High

Josie Luke

The game of administrative musical chairs continues as the Emery County School District announced the hiring of Jimmy Jones as the new principal at Canyon View Junior High and Doug Mecham as vice-principal at Emery High.

Mecham replaces Jones at the high school, Jones replaces Larry Davis at the junior high, Davis replaced Gwen Callahan as principal at the high school and Callahan replaced JJ Grant as secondary supervisor at the school board office.

Despite the continued uncertainty caused by changes being made so close to the upcoming school year, those involved are excited by the opportunities the new positions offer.

Jones has worked at Emery High since 1985, both as a teacher, and in his most recent position as vice-principal. Known by most of his students and many community members as “Coach Jones”, he has also been involved in coaching many sports teams.

Mecham, who has had his administrative certificate for three years now, is excited to have the opportunity to focus on his new position at the high school. “I’m sad to leave my Canyon View family, and I’ll miss the class room,” he explained, “but we’re excited.”

He has taught for 12 at the junior high and has also been involved in coaching wresting. For the past three years he has split his time between teaching and serving as school counselor, while teaching part-time.

While working at Canyon View, Mecham worked often with Larry Davis, who he will serve under at the high school. His experience with Davis makes him even more excited for his new position. “I’m excited to work with Larry,” he said. “He is an incredible administrator, and so there’s so much to learn working with him.”

He married his sweetheart, Etta Mae Herrick, June 23, 1937 in Chico, California.  Curly was very proud of the thirty-plus years he spent working in the timber of Northern California.  When he retired from Collins Pine, (Chester, California) he and Etta managed an RV Park on the Sacramento River for several years.  He loved this job as it allowed him to be in the outdoors and fish for salmon and trout everyday after work.  In 1991 Curly and Etta moved to Utah in order to be closer to their family.
Curly continued to fish and hunt with his son-in-law and grandsons into his late 80’s.  Up until the last few years, Curly had the most beautiful and productive garden in the neighborhood; in fact, trying to out-do Curly’s garden became quite a competition.  Anyone who knew Curly, came to love him for his infamous storytelling, his sense of humor and his ready laugh.
Curly knew he had the most wonderful family in the world.  At the end of every visit, Curly told his children, and grandchildren how much he loved them and how proud he was of them.  For the last eight years, Curly was blessed to live with his daughter JoAnn and her husband Jerry.  He never missed an opportunity to tell her, “Thanks, Hon.”  We will miss this sweet, kind gentleman.
He is survived by his two daughters, Deanna (Terry) Gullickson, Corning, California, JoAnn (Jerry) Carter, Spring Glen; eight grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, and his wife, Etta who passed away on March 3, 1995.
Graveside service, Thursday, August 7, 2008, 12:00 noon, at the Huntington City Cemetery.      Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.

From Puppies to Lizards: 
What Makes a Pet?

Colleen Davis

When beginning this article, the first thing I did was look for the definition of pet. Well some of what I found was that a pet or companion animal is: an animal kept for companionship and enjoyment, as opposed to livestock, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for other reasons. Pets also seem to provide their owners with health benefits; keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress for those who like having animals around. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air and social interaction.

My research also revealed that for thousands of years people from all different places and cultures around the world cared for some animals simply because the liked them. Sometimes it was because of the way they looked, felt or the sounds they made. Some people chose the pet they had because of the status having such a creature gave them. Some animals are just good company and show an attachment to people.

Pet is a word that started appearing in the English language as early as the 1600s. Pets are generally not expected to work for their keep and they are not eaten. People have been using animals for hundreds of years in many ways. Dogs have been used for generations as guards, for hunting, and herding, but as time has passed, dogs have been kept as companions and playmates. Then and now most family dogs are not purebreds although they still are recognized as retrievers, spaniels terriers, shepherds, hounds, and other types. Their looks reflect the kinds of dogs that are living in the community.  At first domestic dogs appeared to have been similar in appearance. As civilization proceeded, dogs began to evolve so they could perform various functions in the community. Some were used to work with stock, while others served as guards. The selective breeding to develop dogs with deliberate physical traits began about 150 years ago. Today there are about 300 different breeds throughout the world.

Cats were first introduced to help keep rodents and vermin away. What farmers from centuries ago saw and realized is that the crops and grains attracted vermin and rodents. The vermin then attracted cats. The farmers then started encouraging the cats to stay by leaving out food that would attract them. Since they had a source of food. They moved in on a permanent basis. Being a naturally calm animal just as are feral cats today, they first started allowing people to approach them to be petted and then eventually to be held.

What have been considered “children’s perfect pets”, are rabbits, mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters and guinea pigs, because they were easy to care for, didn’t have a long lifespan and are generally gentle. Chickens have also been considered to be a perfect backyard pet for some of the same reasons; they are easy to care for and are gentle and friendly.

One of the most recent changes in the types of pets have been reptiles: lizards, snakes and turtles. One reason for this is because people are able to care for them, but also because a large number of our society finds lizards and snakes both dangerous and repulsive.

Keeping a pet takes a lot of work and dedication, and involves a number of practices. These include providing the animal with a special diet or food, playing with it, giving it adequate shelter and sometimes even allowing it to live in our home or sit on the furniture or your lap. And one of the most important practices in having a pet is caring for it when it is sick or injured.
As I stated earlier pets have been part of our lives for hundreds of years and we continue to debate what our responsibilities are to them. The issues are difficult and opinions vary. Americans for the most part value their pets as companions and associate them with their happiness.

Pet owners include the family pet as a part of their family life. They are included in family portraits, family vacations, holidays and also when buying gifts. Some pet owners celebrate their birthdays, and when the time comes they have a memorial service to mark the end of their life. Over time pets have become an important part of many of our lives, whether it has been a faithful pet or just one that we are used to having in the yard.

So the question again is “what is a pet”? Well a pet  in short is an animal that is a companion and brings us comfort, joy and in general helps us to be happy.

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.

The Agony of Victory

Josie Luke

With no willing adults, children took over the food-eating contests held July 30 at the Emery County Fair.

The many cowardly adults looked on as a group of young people put them to shame, quickly downing whole pies, large bowls of ice-cream and brain-freeze inducing cups of shaved ice.

The pie eating contest brought out the teenagers, who used several different avenues to try to win the contest. Some happily drove their faces straightway into the whipped topping of the pies and proceeded to gobble up the filling and crust, while others used their hands to scoop up the mess and others chose to “politely” use spoons to shovel in heaping mouthfuls.

Whatever method they chose, pounds of pie were eaten in a matter of minutes, with Travis Pizutto, Chase Jewkes and Haley Beckstead coming out on top.

The next event was the ice-cream eating contest, which organizers split into two categories: children, and younger children. The two groups were given substantial amounts of the creamy treat, which they attacked with the abandon that comes with high metabolism.

Again they each chose their preferred methods; similar to the techniques used in the pie eating, minus the more messy and cold, messy-face method, while adding a stir-and-drink approach.

 Jason Roberts won the younger children’s division and JJ Manning prevailed in the children’s group.
Finally, six brave young souls stepped to the table to try the shaved ice eating competition. The brain-freeze combatants stood around the table, some with smiles spreading across their young faces and others, who possibly more fully understood their dire situation, nervously glancing for a place to run.
The participants, given a cruel two-minute limit, began their task excitedly, but as the time wore on, the agony became more apparent, with one young boy, Dalton Hinkins pressing his hand to his forehead in an attempt to ease the pain. After an excruciating two minutes, the two youngest competitors tied for the win: Larsen Stephens and a very relieved Dalton Hinkins.

After watching the brave young ones, hopefully next year, the spineless adults will join in the fun.

Riding the Loopity-Loop

James L. Davis

I could be wrong, but I do not believe that the human stomach was ever meant to have the ability to move freely about your body.  It is meant to remain just above your belt, or, as is the case with some of us, above your belt with perhaps a little bit hanging over.  But I am quite sure that it was never meant to be sucked to the bottom of your feet or lifted past your lungs, through your throat and lodged into your nasal cavities.

To have your stomach do so is unnatural, even dangerous.  In the Dark Ages if something like this was to happen to you it would be called torture.  In modern times when something like this happens to you it is called a visit to the amusement park.  I mention this only because I am scheduled for my yearly dose of torture, because, this weekend we are going to Lagoon.  Everybody say yeah!

I have learned a great many things at Lagoon over the years.  I have learned that not only can my stomach move freely about my body, but many other fascinating details about reality that I had never before imagined.  For instance, I learned that it doesn’t matter how much money you take to an amusement park, you will leave with only lint in your pocket.

I know this because we go to Lagoon every year.  It’s a family tradition intended to force me to stay gainfully employed for the rest of my natural life.  We only broke from this tradition for a couple of years when my daughter was of the age where she considered herself too big to ride the “kiddie” rides but was still too vertically challenged to be allowed to ride the adult rides.  Because of this, there was great weeping and wailing by my daughter about the inherent injustice of the adult world.  I agreed with her wholeheartedly and said that we would return to Lagoon when she was tall enough to go on all of the rides.

Apparently that is why my daughter spent a great deal of the next two years hanging from one thing or another; she was attempting to stretch herself until she was tall enough.  It worked.

Once I realized that I was going to have to go to Lagoon again, I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before someone got sick, and I was terrified that it might be me.  It’s been years now that we have gone to Lagoon every summer and I am still terrified that my stomach might actually exit my body on one ride or another.  It doesn’t help that on the way to Lagoon my kids talk about the rides they will go on that will stretch their bodies, twist their bodies, whip, strain and puree their bodies and ask me with great excitement in their voices, “Aren’t your excited Dad?” and I of course say, “Sure, can’t wait.”

Now the truly demonic thing about my children is that they are each attuned enough to the other that they instinctively know what ride will make the other one sick, and because they have this keen ability they will use it to try and make their siblings physically ill by taunting them until they ride the ride that they should not ride.

Under normal circumstances I would not have any problem with this because if my children are sick at the amusement park, they are probably not spending money, which is a good thing.  But the problem is that my children are under the false impression that I love all rides that stretch, twist, whip, strain and puree your body.  I do not, but I cannot admit that to them because I am a man and therefore, I am stupid.  My wife, on the other hand simply looks at the kids and says, “I’m not going on that,” and the look she gives them is of such strength that they do not dare tease her.  If I could master that look, I could rule the world.

So while my wife sits happily on a park bench, my children will point to some absurd loopity loop of one kind or another and say, “let’s do that one,” and I will say (because I’m stupid), “yeah, that looks like fun.”

In that way we will ride every ride that can possibly make us sick and while our faces will grow from nicely tanned, to pale to ashen to one of the undead, we will continue to scream that we are having a wonderful time.  Meanwhile my wife will wave from the park bench while eating a snow cone.

My children are all teenagers now and I thought that perhaps my trips to Lagoon would begin to become pleasant, that I too might be able to sit on a park bench and eat a snow cone, because I am a parent and therefore my children would not want to be seen with me.  Apparently that rule does not apply when you are at an amusement park.  Especially if you have a tendency to scream like a school girl, which I have been known to do.

Because of that my children can’t wait to take me on the rides.  I am a walking, talking, screaming version of show-and-tell.  Other teenagers can watch me scream and then they have a conversation topic that they can use to get to know each other.

It’s good to have a purpose.  Now if I could only convince my stomach.

Since When Did Vampires Stop Sucking Blood and Start Sucking Face?

Casey Wood

As you may have deduced from the title, this article is about a drastic change it appears vampires, one of the oldest monster movie villains, have made in recent years.  Why have these vampires made this change?  Because of the release of a certain book entitled “Twilight.” 

I am not one who has fallen under its spell and become a diehard fan of the series, and I was not therefore patiently awaiting the release of the fourth book in the series on Aug. 2. 

Now, I admittedly have not read, or even attempted to read this book for one simple reason: a line from the book that has been quoted to me goes something like “his skin sparkles in the sunlight like diamonds.” 

It isn’t so much that I have a problem with romance, or a problem with vampires, or even a problem with good skin complexion for that matter.  The main contention for me is I don’t want to read about a compassionate vampire falling in love.  I want my vampires sucking blood and turning into vampire bats.  There is vampire violence in this book, but not in the traditional manner.  Instead of the traditional Dracula brand vampire we are introduced to more civil vampires, who rather than harvesting the blood of man, abstain from such ‘primitive’ behavior and therefore prefer to drink the blood of animals, which, in the opinion of many animal rights activists, may seem just as primitive as a vampires drinking the blood of man.

Despite my disinterest in the series, it does have a rather large following.  The author, Stephenie Meyer, is greeted at book stores by rolling crowds which are fans of the books, and in the town that is the setting of the series, she even has her own holiday.  The series has been marketed so well that merchandise from the books is sold on a daily basis, to the point that everywhere you turn you may see a girl wearing a pin, shirt or other item of clothing, declaring their love for the hero of the story.   The series has grown so popular that the film industry has taken advantage of its fame and has begun the production of a movie, set to be released in December. 

I am in the situation that many who oppose Harry Potter and the Eragon series must find themselves in, where the hype of the book has grown so large that I almost want to pick up the book and see for myself how good, or bad it is.  But then I remember “his skin sparkles in the sunlight,” and am repulsed enough to keep away, for another couple of months at least.  I fear that it is only a matter of time before I, like so many others, am trapped under its spell. 

But even then I won’t wear an ‘I love Edward Cullen’ pin or T-shirt.  I promise.

Pinch of This, Dash of That, Makes for Great Recipes

Kathy Ockey

Joan Huntington admitted she didn’t like Orangeville when she moved there as a young bride.  Her neighbor across the street, Celia Reid, told her, “Joan, you have to meet people halfway and change your attitude.”  Joan took the advice and said, “I love it now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

Joan was born in Spanish Fork and raised on a farm in Palmyra, a small farming community near Spanish Fork.  She graduated from high school and worked as a bookkeeper at Utah Ice.  LeRay Huntington attended Trade Tech, where one of his instructors introduced him to Joan.  It was love at first sight, and Joan and LeRay were married shortly thereafter.  They lived in the Provo area where LeRay managed the Star Gas Station and worked at Geneva Steel for a short time.

Orangeville resident, Arvin Scow, made LeRay an offer to take over his tractor business, and this led to the newlyweds moving to Orangeville, where they have raised their family of three boys and one girl.

Joan and LeRay have served missions in Arizona and Nauvoo for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Joan said she would advise anyone to go on a mission if it is at all possible.  She said you find out that people are all the same no matter where go and you can develop wonderful friendships.
Joan said her mother was a wonderful cook and always used the “Pinch of this and a dash of that” method. She said she learned a lot from her.  Joan’s favorite item to make is hot rolls. 

She always makes them when their family comes for their regular Sunday dinners where there is always a sampling of the baked goods before the meal.  Following is the recipe for Joan’s delicious rolls and also caramels and cream fondant that can be used to make a pecan roll.  She also shared her secret of how to prepare delicious fried chicken.

Joan’s Rolls

2 eggs (beaten)
2 cups scalded milk (cooled)
3 tablespoons shortening
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 yeast cakes (dissolved in 1/2 cup water)
Mix eggs, scalded milk, shortening and dissolved yeast thoroughly with an egg beater.  Add two cups flour and continue beating, adding additional flour until it can’t be beaten anymore. Continue by kneading the dough and adding the additional flour.  Let the dough rise until double in bulk. Roll the dough out and prepare roll size portions.  Put them on a greased pan and let rise again until double in size.  Bake at 350’ until light golden brown.

Pecan Rolls

Carmel portion of recipe:
4 cups sugar
4 cups white Karo syrup
Dash of salt
Bring to a rolling boil and continue boiling for 10 minutes.  In double boiler heated to 150 degrees, scald 1 1/2 quarts heavy cream.  Add 1 can Borden Sweetened Condensed milk to the scalded cream mixture.  Gradually add this to the sugar and syrup mixture, stirring constantly, over a 45 minute period (yes, 45 minutes).  Cook to 232 degrees. Keep sugar and syrup at a rolling boil while adding milk.  Remove from heat.  Add one tablespoon vanilla and pour onto a buttered tray.
Cream Fondant – filling for the Pecan roll
4 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Karo syrup
1 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons marshmallow whip
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cook sugar, Karo syrup, cream and salt to 228 degrees.  Pour into ungreased glass dish without stirring and put in refrigerator.  When cold, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat with a wooden spatula.  When it starts to lose its gloss, add two big tablespoons of marshmallow whip and beat again.  Work with hands and mold out.  Let set about two hours.  Place filling in caramel portion of recipe.  Roll the caramel and fondant into a roll and then cover with chopped pecans. Slice when set.

Joan’s Fried Chicken

Skin washed chicken, as much as you want to cook.  Beat two eggs and add some milk.  Put flour, salt and pepper in sack.  Dip chicken in egg mixture and then roll in flour.  Thoroughly brown chicken in frying pan and then put in baking dish.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours.  Do not add grease or moisture.  Just put it in the oven, cover and let bake.  Delicious!

Entranced by Vampires of
‘Twilight’ Series

Kathy Ockey

McKahl Johnson is the oldest daughter of Phillip and Lisa Johnson and will be going into the ninth grade this coming year.  She likes to listen to music, mostly the group “Panic at the Disco,” and going skateboarding – but she can’t do any tricks. She likes English and Art and taking walks.  She said reading was not really her favorite pastime until she started the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.  She has read “Twilight,” “New Moon,” and just finished “Eclipse.”  She said each of the books have the same characters, are full of romance and are very suspenseful. “They grab you from the start, and you are in suspense wondering what will happen next.”

The stories are set in Forks, Washington and revolve around a love triangle between the young girl, Bella; the vampire Edward, and Jacob, a werewolf.   The vampires are hundreds of years old but appear as teenagers, and they have the ability to save people from death by turning them into vampires.

In “Eclipse” Bella is being stalked by the vampire Victoria.  Edward and Jacob are both in love with Bella and are fighting to protect her. Bella is also forced to choose between her relationship with Edward and her friendship with Jacob. The book is exciting to the surprising end.

McKahl said her mother has also been reading the books along with several other family members.  The next installment, “Breaking Dawn” came out on Aug. 2 at 12:01 a.m. to large crowds of people waiting at book stores all over the country.  McKahl highly recommends this books to everyone, from young adults on up.  She said to be aware that you will need time to read them because when you start, you won’t want to put it down until you are through.

Crandall Canyon: One Year Later

James L. Davis

A year has come and gone since that fateful morning on Aug. 6 when the mountain rumbled and everything changed forever.

It has been one year since the Crandall Canyon Mine Disaster brought a community together with hope, with prayers and with determination that those trapped within the mine might yet be saved.  It has been one year since the disaster that took the lives of six of our own:  Kerry Allred, Don Erickson, Jose Luis Hernandez, Juan Carlos Payan, Brandon Phillips and Manuel Sanchez.

On Aug. 16 the mountain rumbled again and three rescuers were lost: Brandon Kimber, Dale Black and Gary Jensen were killed trying to save their fellow miners, and the world watched as the communities of Emery and Carbon counties grieved.

Much has been written and said of the strength of the mining community, of its determination, of its sense of community.  While it may have been a surprise to see so close-knit a community for the rest of the world, it was of no surprise to those who call this area home.

On Wednesday the families of the fallen will gather at Crandall Canyon Mine for a private ceremony to remember their loved ones and dedicate a memorial at the mine site to those who lost their lives beneath the mountain.  The public is welcome at approximately 11 a.m., after the family gathering is complete.

A year later, the community that had its mettle tested by tragedy still hold on to each other for strength, for love and in remembrance of those who were lost.

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.

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