Back Country Pilots Plan Fly-In to Huntington

Josie Luke

The Huntington Airport has a perfectly adequate paved runway, but when a group of Utah pilots fly in on Oct. 3, they will not be using that runway; instead, they prefer the challenge of landing on dirt runways, ruts, weeds and all.

Members of the Utah Back Country Pilots Association met with the board of Huntington Airport LLC on Aug. 9, to plan the fly-in and discuss additions to the airport which would make it even more of a draw for future events.

According to Gust Kalatzes, a back country pilot from Price, the airport is in an ideal location for pilots, with three remote landing strips near the airport, including a strip on Cedar Mountain. In fact, Steve Purtschi, the association president, said the airport “has the potential to be the hub of the Utah backcountry.”

Kalatzes sees the fly-in as an opportunity for the Huntington Airport to become more well-known by pilots who would use the airport if they were aware of the facilities.  He also said it would help to “validate” the airport in “the public ‘s eye.”

Pilots will fly into the airport Oct. 3, and have breakfast and lunch together on Saturday. They will have many options on activities during their stay. Purtschi explained that many of the pilots will spend the morning flying to many of the remote landing strips which are near the airport and then spend the rest of the day on other activities, leaving Saturday night or Sunday.

One of the unique activities the pilots may participate in is a “flour drop.” Two pilots fly over an area near the airport and one pilot will attempt to drop a bag of flour in a barrel in the area, while the other pilot flies the plane.

The group expressed that they had “no idea” how many pilots will participate, saying it would depend on the weather. They hope for a large group, explaining that “airplane people like to get together.” In fact, rather than set a strict schedule of events, they plan to leave it up to the pilots to select activities.

Trash Wars get Ugly in Ferron

Josie Luke

After recently accepting a bid from City Sanitation for their garbage service, Ferron City found themselves in quite a mess when their lawyer advised them that they were required to take the lowest bid, which in fact came from Emery County Sanitation.

In order to address the situation, the council scheduled a special meeting for Aug. 7, which was attended by a number of concerned and frustrated citizens and representatives from both companies.
At first, the council seemed resolved to quickly address the issue by awarding the bid to Emery County Sanitation, with Mayor Gil Conover admitting, “The council made a mistake,” and inviting a motion to be made on the matter, but it devolved into a numbers game, with each side arguing their bid was the lowest.

The issue was also muddled by concerns with Emery County Sanitation not being able to acquire the garbage cans needed for each home in Ferron with the withdrawal of City Sanitation services. It was eventually explained that this would not have been a problem had the city initially awarded the bid properly, because Emery County Sanitation would have been able to order the garbage cans at that time.

Commenting, “It’s sad were arguing over trash,” Ferron citizen Lane Justice offered a possible solution, offering to take his horse trailer around town for a week to collect garbage from any citizens who were not able to take their garbage to roll-off cans Emery County Sanitation would provide during the week’s time.

The main sticking point in deciding on the lowest bid became how many “roll-offs” the city would use in a year: City Sanitation offered a rate per roll-off in option one of their bid, and Emery County Sanitation offered a set rate no matter how many the city used.

Wade Williams of City Sanitation expressed his frustration several times during the discussion, saying, “I still believe we have the lower bid,” but it was finally decided that because the council would not set a firm number on roll-offs, and when the bid was delivered it didn’t include a solid number, Emery County Sanitation had submitted the lower bid.

After the mayor again asked for a motion, Councilman Trent Jackson finally made the motion to that effect, remarking, “Our hands are tied by the ordinance.” The issue again seemed at an impasse for a few moments when the mayor asked for a second, but Councilperson JoAnn Behling finally provided the second. The council then voted to award the bid to Emery Count Sanitation.

Even after the meeting concluded, Williams held firm that his bid was the lower bid. “I just thought the whole thing was wrong. I was the low bid, “he held. “Three weeks ago, they awarded the bid to me.”

His frustration was compounded by the fact that his company has provided garbage services to Ferron for more than 25 years, and in his view has done the job well. “We’ve never not picked up the garbage,” he said. Williams also explained that he has tried to help the community, supporting local events and has provided his employees with benefits.

“It just seemed to me that the bid came down to who lived closer to city hall,” he concluded.
For Kent Wilson, who owns Emery County Sanitation, the outcome was positive, though admitted he had mixed feelings. “I’ve got a bunch of different feelings,” he said. “I know he’s probably the only one they’ve ever done business with, and there’s some loyalty there, but we’re not a new company anymore, like we were when Huntington and Orangeville took the risk on us. I got into this to try to get everyone a fair price.” 

Even with his many perspectives on the issue, Wilson conveyed his desire to giving Ferron’s resident’s great service. “I just look forward to serving Ferron, and making the transition as painless and easy as I can,” he said. “They will get the type of service they’re used to and deserve.”

As to the issue with not being able to acquire the needed amount of garbage cans, Wilson explained, “I had all of the arrangements made to have them by Aug. 31, but because of what happened, the company can’t make them all in time. It’s just an unfortunate situation; both sides are going to do whatever they can.”

Quiet Reflection

The monument to the nine miners who died in the Crandall Canyon Mine tragedy was dedicated during a private ceremony for the immediate families of the men on Aug. 6, one year after the devastating day of the mine collapse.

The monument features six stones for the six men who died in the initial cave in and three benches for the rescuers who died 10 days later. It is located near the actual mine site but is secluded in a wooded area, back away from the mine, near a stream which naturally dampens outside sounds to provide a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Wendy Black, rescuer Dale Black’s wife was impressed and pleased. “I love the place that they put it,” she expressed.
 
Finding such an environment was important for those who selected and designed the site. “It’s peaceful,” said Sheila Phillips, whose son Brandon died in the initial incident. “If they ever do stuff at the mine, it’s still quiet. It’s awesome, I love it.”

Mud Slide Closes Highway 6 for More Than 8 Hours

Josie Luke

A more than 300-yard long mudslide forced the Utah Highway Patrol to close Highway 6 for more than eight hours on Aug. 7.

According to the Highway Patrol, the mudslide, caused by heavy rains, occurred around 2:30 p.m. and though mud and debris were removed in just a few hours, the 15-20 foot bank near the road was still rain-soaked and the debris and rain had clogged the culvert, so engineers kept traffic off of the road until around 11 that night.

A public information officer from the highway patrol said that mudslides don’t happen often and are nearly impossible to predict, commenting “it happens when Mother Nature decides to do it.” He reported the severe weather also caused closures near Moab and Hanksville that same day.

Price hosts ‘End Meth Now’ Event

Josie Luke

Recovering methamphetamine users, community members and community leaders joined together at noon on Aug. 5 in the Price Peace Gardens to commit to ending meth use, signing a pledge banner which will travel around the state as part of the statewide End Meth Now campaign.

Perhaps the most poignant moments of the program, even more moving than the banner signing, were provided by two recovering meth addicts, who despite obvious nervousness speaking in front of an audience, related their experiences with meth addiction and the improvements in their lives since ceasing use of the drug.

Billy Lee told of how meth use had caused him to “lose everything,” from his connections with family to his spirituality. He said, “Meth had created for me an ‘I love you on the condition you have something for me.’” Eventually, authorities discovered the use and Lee was “caught.”

He moved back to Price and began participation in Drug Court, which he referred to as “instant sobriety.” Now, he says of those authorities, “I really kind of need these people. I wouldn’t have the self worth and self respect that I have without drug court.”

Lee is now an active member of the community, and he views the End Meth Now effort as a positive and successful program. “You can only foster self worth by getting the word out. Prevention starts in the home,” he said. He invited the community to “continue the discussion,” encouraging an open conversation about the meth issue.

Erin Rolfsness also discussed her experience in overcoming the powerful addiction, revealing she has now been clean for five years. She reported that after she was able to attain the right mind set, it was “not a hard thing to do,” when her children were removed from the home, it became a requirement.
Now she speaks with family members every day, “reminding them of the things I was involved in and telling them they do not want to get involved.”

Price Mayor Joe Piccolo also spoke, remarking, “It’s not enough that we talk about it. In order for the community to be successful, we need to stop those youth in the community that are experimenting. I hope as we go forward, to help those most affected members of our community.

“It’s an experiment that requires participation of all those that are involved. Then, it requires additional adjustment so that you might stay ahead of the curve. It is an experiment, one that requires us to create awareness, develop thought and act appropriately.”

Emery Count also hopes to participate in the End Meth Now program. According to Jennifer Thomas of Four Corners Mental Health, anyone wishing to participate, signing the banner will be able to do so at Ferron Peach Days and Green River Melon Days.

Emery School District Expands Students with Disabilities Program

Josie Luke

The addition of a self-contained resource unit for grades 4-6 at Cottonwood Elementary is the latest phase in the Emery County School District’s expansion of their district-wide program for students with disabilities.

The program began at Castle Dale Elementary and then moved to Huntington Elementary. The latest expansion will provide for students to have additional assistance required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Participating students will spend the morning in the self-contained classroom and the afternoon in mainstream classrooms according to their specific needs assisted by two full-time aides.
Jon Crawford, district special education director, said the expansion is “extremely exciting,” adding, “I’ve been working on it for a number of years.”

The district has hired a full-time special education teacher, Brandi Mangum, and two teaching assistants, who according to Crawford are “very qualified.” The aides will accompany the students into the mainstream classrooms to assist the classroom teachers.

Though some parents have expressed concern over an increase impacting already large class sizes, Crawford reported that the program will start out with a small number of students and will grow as services are needed. At first there will only be a couple of students who will be transferred to Cottonwood, which shouldn’t prove to be an issue for the school.

He also added that the students will be in the self-contained classroom through most of the day and when they are in the mainstream classrooms, aids will be able to assist. “Large class sizes are dealt with in this way quite frequently,” he said, but added those decisions are made by regular education supervisors.

Anna Faye Vuksinick
“Momma”

PRICE - Anna “Faye” Vuksinick, 84, passed away August 6, 2008, on the same day she was born in 1924.  She passed away at the home of her daughter Lynette.  She was born in Price, Utah to Charles A. and Kisty M. Jensen Fausett.  She married Martin L. Vuksinick.  Later divorced.
Mom touched many lives as a nurse, a profession she loved being a part of.  One of her proudest accomplishments was when she completed school for her LPN license.  She spent many committed years caring for others and had great compassion for her “little people” in the nursing home.  She told us many stories about the people she cared for and I think we were the only kids who weren’t afraid to go to a nursing home.  During those years, she cared for her Mother, sisters; Ila and Pearl.  When she retired from nursing, she returned two weeks later to work part-time.  She said retirement was “boring”.  Once she retired, she volunteered as a Pink Lady at Carbon Hospital until 2004 when her health began to decline.
Lynette and I feel the most important lesson she taught us was to be a family that stuck together through good and bad times and to rely on each other for love and support.  We do that today in her honor.
Later in life, Mom and her three sisters moved back into the family home.  She was always the one to say, “Come on, sit down, lets chat”.  To her grandkids, she was always going to give them a “talking to” or “give them a lickin”.  She would say, “Do you know what that is?”.
Lynette and Vanessa want to thank Angie Fausett and Jenn from CNS for their kindness and compassion during Mom’s last days.
Survived by her daughters; Lynette Wells and Vanessa (Ben) Benedict, grandchildren Jason & Kyle Hamann, Joshua & Jessica Wells. Jessie (James), Sasha, Brandon Benedict, Jennifer & Jeremy Fairbanks, Christopher & Octobre Benedict, Heidi & Erik Petersen, and eight great- grandchildren, Sister; Wayne Smith.  She is preceded in death by her parents, daughter Melanie, grandson Justin, son-in-law Kevin Wells, sisters; Jenny, Eloise, Pearl, Ila, Ruth, and brothers; George, Ray, and Jess.  If you wish, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society in Faye’s name.
Funeral services were Aug. 9, 2008 at Fausett Mortuary (680 East 100 South, Price, Utah).  Interment was in the Price City Cemetery, next to Justin and Kevin.  Funeral services were in the care of Fausett Mortuary.

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.

Year of the Mammoth

Josie Luke

Twenty years after the Huntington Mammoth was discovered during the construction of the Huntington Reservoir dam, the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum hosted Mammoth Day on Aug. 8, as part of their Year of the Mammoth Celebration.

The event was held 20 years to the day the Columbian mammoth was first found by Chris Nielson, an employee of Nielson Construction.

To commemorate the event, the museum organized various events, including lectures on the discovery, film viewings, a mammoth hut, primitive food preparation, drum making, atlatl throwing, flint knapping, pin the tail on the mammoth, a dunking booth, miniature Mesozoic gardens, natural paints and rope/cordage making.

The Year of the Mammoth Celebration is an especially significant event for the Prehistoric Museum, because accreditation was pursued primarily in an effort to keep the mammoth remains in the area. With other, much larger entities lobbying for the right to curate the bones, the newly accredited museum was finally allowed to keep the find in their bone lab.

The community has responded to the efforts of museum and college staff, who put in much work to organize events throughout the year. Mammoth Day drew a large crowd; more than 350 came inside the museum, with many more enjoying the entertainment outside. Evening events also drew large numbers.

The year-long celebration continues Sept. 13, with the Mammoth Marathon. Participants in the marathon and half marathon will be given the unique opportunity to race through the San Rafael Swell. Those interested in participating can register at www.mammothmarathons.org/lgc/lgc.html.

Attack of the Green Stink Bugs!

James L. Davis

The Green Stink Bugs are coming!  Emery County found itself in the middle of what could have easily been the plotline of many a l950s horror movie last week as green stink bugs seemed to be invading the area.

From Emery Town Hall to the Wells Fargo Bank and Maverik Store in Castle Dale, green bugs coated the walls, the sidewalks and the gas pumps, giving rise to a distasteful grimace from those trying to figure out a way to deal with the little creatures.  At Wells Fargo, bank employees cleared the insects from the front door with a vacuum cleaner and at Maverik the insects, crawling across the fuel pumps, were either ignored or stepped on as they coated the pavement.

According the Dennis Worwood of the Utah State University Extension, the stink bugs  apparently thrived due to the wet spring and were on the move as the heat of the summer dried things up.  According to the Oklahoma State University Entomology and Plant Pathology website, the Green Stink Bug, or Acrosternum hilare, for the scientifically or horror movie minded (green stink bug doesn’t sound nearly as frightening as Acrosternum hilare), stink bugs overwinter as adults in protected areas such as fence rows, grassy field borders, under stones or bark of trees.  Green stink bugs are more prevalent in mid to late June and taper off in fruit trees in July and August, with only one generation per year.

According to Worwood, the best weapon against the green stink bug is Permethrin or a soap water spray.  Killing off an invasion of stink bugs with a soap water spray may work just fine, but it doesn’t sound like any of the weapons they used in the 1950 horror movies.  What about laser beams or high frequency sound waves?  Now that sounds more like it.

A Trip to the Mall

James L. Davis

Malls frighten me...vehemently.  Well, perhaps I should rephrase that.  Malls don’t actually frighten me vehemently; people who go to malls frighten me…vehemently.  I believe that mall people are, by and large, somewhat unbalanced by nature. 

That is because Saturday for the Davis household was School Clothes Season, and we were all at the mall hunting for clothes.  Clothes hunting is much the same as deer or elk hunting, except instead of going out into the wilderness and braving the elements to seek out your prey, you go to the mall and brave the other shoppers to seek out clothes your children will actually wear.

Instead of carrying a high powered rifle with a scope, you carry a wallet that may or may not be loaded.  And instead of dressing in orange camouflage (which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either), my children spend a great deal of time and energy dressing in their best clothing.  Which begs the question, if my children can still spend hours choosing what clothes they are going to wear to go clothes hunting, why exactly are we clothes hunting in the first place?

On Saturday my wallet was loaded with pretty much all the ammunition I owned and it fired dollar bills with the speed of an Uzi whenever my children got a new wardrobe in their sights.

Upon arriving at the mall we immediately went to the two or three stores where everyone else at the mall was also shopping, including the employees of neighboring stores.  This would be the three stores devoted to skateboard attire.  While stores like Zumiez or Pac Sun may have ridden the wave of being antiestablishment a few years ago, they now are the establishment.  Great grandmothers now wear skater shoes.  I tried to convince my kids of this fact and persuade them that the true rebel teenagers did all of their shopping at Wal-Mart or Ross Dress for Less, but they weren’t having it.  So we went in search of skater clothing.

The only thing I have to say about skater clothing is this:  Skateboarding is an activity that is known to involve a little bit of risk.  Skaters quite often fall off their boards and land on the sidewalk, on hand rails, on the road, on park benches, picnic tables, cars, other people and perhaps even a fire hydrant or two.  So wouldn’t you think that if you were manufacturing clothing for skaters you would make the clothing pretty rugged?  But no, the clothing doesn’t only seem less than rugged; in some cases it seems transparent.  Which is why I spend a great deal of my time shaking my head vehemently  Shaking your head vehemently involves the rapid turning your head first left, then right at such a rapid pace that your vision becomes blurred and quite often spittle escapes your lips and splatters on innocent passersby. I do this to let my children know in no uncertain terms that I will not be buying the item they are currently looking at. Quite often store clerks will come to ask me if everything is OK in hopes that I will stop splattering all over the merchandise, to which I respond by continuing to shake my head vehemently.

I am fortunate that my children do not normally want to walk around showing off body parts that I do not want them showing off under any circumstance.   Looking at the clothing (or lack of clothing) hanging on the store racks, I thought to myself that no parent is going to let their children wear clothes like that and I turned around.

My daughter warned me as I turned around to divert my eyes, but of course I didn’t and I found myself staring directly at a pair of thong underwear.  And they were not hanging on a rack.  The woman bent over helping her daughter pick out a pair of shoes apparently was unaware that her pants were falling down because she made no effort to pull them up.  I looked at my daughter, she looked at me and we decided to search for her newest pair of skater shoes somewhere else.  We exited the store, both of us shaking or heads.  Vehemently.

At the shoe store next door my daughter found several pair of skater shoes that she liked and as we waited for the salesperson to get her size from the back room, I turned around to see if possibly there were other types of shoes in the store that she might be interested in.  And my eyes again fell upon some thong underwear, again not hanging from a rack.  In fact, they were the same pair of thong underwear and they were still being worn by the mother who was apparently unaware her pants were falling down.

I turned back to the front of the store and with my daughter we both waited for the skater shoe salesman to bring us our skater shoes, shaking our heads…vehemently.

A Cavity Free Kid

Casey Wood

Have you ever watched cartoons or seen comic strips where the hero goes to the dentist’s office?  Many times they end up having cavities, and when they return to the dentists office to get them fixed they are terrified.  After the procedure the hero always ends up deciding that it wasn’t so bad.  I’m not convinced.

My dentist is Dr. Todd Huntington.  I have been going to him for periodical cleanings and check-ups as long as I can remember, and low and behold, I have never had a cavity.  Now you would think this would give me confidence when I visit the dentist’s office every six months or so, and you would think wrong.  The dentist’s office is one of the most terrifying offices I go to, because each time I fear that I am going to get that dreaded first cavity.  I go through the usual cleaning and flossing procedure with no problem, but when the doctor comes in and starts probing my teeth with the little ice-pick shaped rod to check for cavities, I think my heart stops.  I have always asked “What’s the prognosis doc?” to which he has responded “We’re good.”  I shudder when I think of the day when I will receive a different answer.

Now you would expect that those around me would be happy for me, and for my lack of dental drilling, but it is not so.  I think only Dr. Todd and I are happy to know I don’t have a cavity.  Each time I come home and report to my father and sister that my teeth are hole free it seems to ruin their day.  Where’s the love in my family?  I don’t know, but if you find it, give me a call. 

Apart from my fear of holey teeth I love the dentist’s office.  I believe I am the longest running “Cavity Free Kid.”  Cavity Free Kids are the children who come into the office and leave without cavities.  They receive a prize from Dr. Huntington, along with getting their picture put on a cork board with all the other Cavity Free Kids.  I stopped getting prizes a couple visits back, but I still make sure that when I leave my picture is on that cork board next to Walker Woolsey, the Moss children, or Dr. Todd’s own kids. 

I fear it’s only a matter of time until my luck runs out, and my family gets their wish.  So, if the next time you go to the dentist’s office you hear some squealing, and possibly crying in the next room,  take a peek in and you may see me in the dentist’s chair, having my teeth drilled, claiming I can feel it through the anesthetic.  If that happens, make sure you’re cavity free, so somebody older than 16 can be on the wall next to Walker, the Moss children, and Dr. Todd’s own kids.

Sweet Tooth Helps Create Some Tasty Treats

Kathy Ockey

Cleveland resident, Melissa Jensen, is originally from Huntington. The daughter of Scott and Lisa Miller, she said she grew up as a tomboy, playing with her cousins on a farm and has some very good memories about those times.

She and her husband, Jeremiah, are the parents of two little girls, Meliah, 4, and Tandy, 2.  They are also expecting a baby boy.  She said it is nice to know that it is a little boy so she can prepare with “boy” things after having two little girls.

Melissa has two sisters and they all collect their new recipes and exchange them once a year.  She said she loves to read recipe books and gets a lot of them from the local library. 

Melissa loves to try new recipes.  She said about half of their meals consist of new recipes. Her husband is really good about trying new dishes and sometimes giving some helpful advice to make them better.   They usually like what they try and sometimes add different seasonings to improve the taste. 

Melissa said, “Seasonings make all the difference and can really make a good recipe even better, “ Melissa said.  She said she likes to cook and try new recipes because she “likes the end results.”
Melissa said she has a sweet tooth and is contributing recipes for desserts that she really likes.  These contain fruits and vegetables that people can get out of their gardens.

Spiderwick Chronicles Keeps Family Reading Together

Kathy Ockey

Green River residents John and Allisha Hughes and their family, have spent the last few months reading The Spiderwick Chronicles (Books 1-5) by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. 

The book chronicle the adventures of two brothers and a big bossy sister, who, with their mom, move into their aunt’s old house.  The children find out there are many hidden secrets and learn a lot about their Great Uncle Arthur.  They also discover that there were really things like trolls and goblins, but they disappeared many, many years ago.

These books grabbed the interest of this family from the very beginning, and they couldn’t wait to read each night. John is a school teacher and said reading as a family is a fun thing to do and gives the children an opportunity to learn to love reading. 

Ian, 7, said he liked the books but he loves to play the outfield in baseball.  Morgan, 5, said it was fun to snuggle on a lap while reading. Zander, 3, liked reading with mom and dad, and the youngest, 1-year-old Micah, likes to eat toast while they read.

The parents promised their children they would buy the movie when it came out, and they are excited because the authors just released a new series, Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles and the family is looking forward to starting the next adventures of the boys and their sister.

This family recommends this exciting series of books and encourages everyone to read them as a family and find out how enjoyable and fun it can be.

Hardship
for America

Despite the fact that a recent poll found that Americans now believe by a 3-1 ratio gas prices are a bigger problem than global warming. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., an avid opponent of offshore drilling, vows to block a drilling vote and even dialogue from occurring on the House floor. Harry Reid, D-Nev., echoed the same sentiment when he eliminated energy amendments to his anti-speculation bill. And now they’re off for their five week un-earned vacation!
President Bush recently lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling; the ball was placed completely in Congress’ court to make the next move. Pelosi justified their inactivity by blaming the president: “What we’re saying is, ‘Exhaust other remedies’, Mr. President.’”
My first reaction to Pelosi’s recent congressional energy rebellion was to say, “What an anti-American, anti-reality-based form of representation.” Two years ago, before taking the congressional helm, Pelosi blamed the president for the energy crisis. Now, instead of providing any solutions at all, she still is blaming the president. Instead of spending her valuable time leading Congress in resolving our energy crisis, she’s kicking off a national tour to support her new book, “Know Your Power: A Message to America’s Daughters.”
Rush Limbaugh helped to relieve my tension on his local radio broadcast (Castle Country FM 954). He spoke for the majority of Americans against Pelosi’s desire to tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: How did it get there? We had to drill for it, didn’t we?’ I mean, if she wants the 700 million barrels released in order to help with the price, which is not going to do that much, it’s not that much oil. It’s a one-time thing you can do. The oil had to be drilled. So drilling will lead to relief. We can drill our way out of this. We drilled our way into the strategic reserve.”
Compare the inept inactivity of Nancy Pelosi on this gas crisis with the informed activity of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Rush is politically savvy; Pelosi is politically cunning. Rush confronts government gridlock; Pelosi creates it. Rush gives solutions; Pelosi ground-n-pounds them. Rush says to drill here and drill now; Pelosi says not to drill now or later. Rush motivates Americans to action; Pelosi paralyzes the House to inaction. I bet Rush has had more positive influence on Congress through the years by his broadcasts than Pelosi ever will from her House throne. If only Rush would seriously consider a run for her seat!
Most of all, I pray that we ultimately inspire a new generation of patriots who will fight on-air, on the Internet and in congressional halls with the fire of Patrick Henry rather than that of Nancy Pelosi.

In Defense of Face-Sucking Vampires

Regarding the “Casey’s Pockets” article entitled “Since when did vampires stop sucking blood and start sucking face?” Have you ever heard the old saying “Don’t knock it till you try it?”  Maybe, just maybe, someone who decides to write an article about something, like say, a book, that person should have at least attempted to read said book? 
Just because you have heard one quote from said book that may have “repulsed” you does not mean that the whole book, or series of books in this matter, is repulsive.  I ask you, what is so wrong about a “compassionate vampire falling in love” or vampires who choose to hunt animals rather than humans?
I have read the entire “Twilight” series of books to date, including the last one that was just released.  Let me tell you something Mr. Manly Man who only likes vampires who turn into bats, are scary, violent and kill people, there is a lot more action and suspense in this series than you give it credit for.  I for one believe that behind all that macho façade Casey Wood puts across in his column, is a romantic begging to surface, and if you would just try to read the books with an open mind you might actually appreciate the yucky romance entwined around all the suspense and action.
I would like to present you with a challenge.  I challenge you to read the entire series: “Twilight,” “New Moon,” “Eclipse,” and “Breaking Dawn.”  If you still feel exactly the same way when you have finished as you did at the time you wrote the article, I will concede that you are the manliest of men and that the “Twilight” series are sissy girl books.  But until that day, I, and probably every other “Twilight” fan would like you to keep your opinion to yourself until you know what you are talking about.

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.

Charlotte Williams lives in Orangeville with her husband and two beautiful daughters, and has for the past ten years. Raised in a large family, she has learned the importance of family (not to mention good self defence skills). She opens her home to youth that may need a little more love than others.

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

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

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