An Oasis of Tranquility

James L. Davis

As the soft glow of the Sunday afternoon sun began to dip below the mountains, those gathered for the unveiling of the Crandall Canyon Miner’s Memorial listened quietly as the lives of nine miners whose deaths changed a community forever were spoken of solemnly as those of heroes among us.
The dedication of the memorial came on Sept. 14 after a whirlwind of activity from a community that has continually amazed the state, the country and the world to complete a project that has been a labor of love for everyone involved.

The community spirit that was so evident throughout the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster last year was equally evident as the finishing touches were put on the memorial to get it ready for its unveiling.  Indeed, Huntington City Mayor Hilary Gordon and City Councilwoman Julie Jones found a legion of volunteers gathering to help get the memorial ready.  Leading the way were seven Eagle Scouts who rallied volunteers to complete individual aspects of the monument.   Scouts Nathan Mecham, Tyler Pulli, Lane Sitterud, Bryson Weaver, Calleb Woolsey, TJ Furner and Colton Barnett proved invaluable in bringing the monument area to completion and it was only fitting that they would be the scouts to raise the American flag to fly above the site and to help the families in the unveiling of the monument itself.

Her voice touched with emotion, Councilwoman Jones thanked the countless volunteers who helped complete the project in time.

Approximately 1,000 people gathered at the memorial site near the Huntington City Cemetery to be a part of the unveiling of the memorial, painstakingly created by the gifted hands of artist Karen Templeton with the advice and involvement of the family of those miners whose likenesses she magically captured.

Templeton spoke to the gathered crowd about the process she went through in creating the monument.    “I made the monument six feet high so we could look these men in the eyes. As a portrait sculptor, I’ve come to believe the soul resides in the eyes. When you truly look into someone’s eyes, it’s impossible to stereotype them,” Timpleton said.

Perhaps one of the most touching moments of the evening came as Wendy Black spoke to the audience.  Praising Governor Jon Huntsman, she recalled that it was the governor who first used the phrase “Heroes Among Us” that has come to signify the miners that make up so much of the Emery and Carbon County community.  She asked for those miners involved in the Crandall Canyon rescue operation who were in the audience to please stand and as a dozen or so miners, interspersed among the crowd slowly climbed to their feet applause erupted around them as the crowd gave the miners a standing ovation.

“Yes Governor Huntsman, you are right.  There are heroes among us,” she said.

Speaking briefly to the crowd Governor Huntsman praised the community for being such an example to not only the state, but the country and the world, for coming together and “embracing our neighbors without barriers.”

“Let us remember this place as an oasis of tranquility, an oasis of love and remembrance,” Governor Huntsman said.  “It’s now time to celebrate the lives of these good men.”
As the loved ones of Manny Sanchez, Carlos Payan, Kerry “Flash” Allred, Luis Hernandez, Brandon Phillips, Don Erickson, Dale “Bird” Black, Brandon Kimber, and Gary Jensen unveiled the monument they took a moment, despite the glare of cameras flashing, to touch the likenesses of those men they loved, the nine men that in death came to define the life of a community.

Proposed BLM Management Plan
has Critics on all Sides

Josie Luke

Since the Bureau of Land Management released their proposed Resource Management Plan for 2.5 million acres of land administered by the Price Field office Aug. 29, concerns have poured in from critics on all sides.

That complaints are being expressed from many sides is, in a way, a relief to Mike Stewig, acting field manager for the Price office. “If I have everybody mad at me, I think I’m about at the right use,” he related. “Obviously we have a full range of resources. There are always conflicts between those resources depending on how you’re going to use them.”

The BLM initially developed five alternatives for managing the area, each one corresponding to one of the major resource usages of the land. The final proposal uses Alternative D as a foundation, which the Price office selected as the preferred alternative, and combines ideas from the other alternatives.

According to the proposed RMP, the plan is “crafted in response to public comments, internal comments, and coordination with cooperating agencies.” It provides what Stewig views as a “balanced alternative that took all of the resources into consideration.”

Despite the efforts of the BLM to, “provide a balanced alternative,” many are displeased. Some of the most conspicuous arguments are coming from the environmental community. In a recent editorial by the Salt Lake Tribune, titled, “Drill, drill, drill: BLM plan for Carbon, Emery counties goes for the gas” it states, “In language only a bureaucrat could love, the plan would ‘maximize mineral development in areas with the greatest potential for maximum resource recovery,’ which would be fine if mineral development were always the highest and best use of these lands.

“But in some cases, it’s not. This is, after all, the neighborhood that includes such scenic and archaeological wonders as Nine Mile and Desolation canyons. In its attempt to balance mineral development with environmental preservation, the BLM folks in Price have leaned far too heavily on the side of the scale that holds mineral extraction.”

There were also concerns expressed over the reduction in lands recognized as non-wilderness study areas with wilderness characteristics. Of the almost 937,000 acres recognized as such, the proposal would recognize 97,100 acres in five areas: Hondu Country, Mexican Mountain, Muddy Creek, Crack Canyon, the San Rafael Reef and Wild Horse Mesa. They point out that this is only one-tenth of the lands.

The field manager explained that with 550, 000 acres of wilderness study areas in the district, managing the more than 900,000 of land with wilderness characteristics would require the BLM to manage nearly 2/3 of the total area.

Stewig expressed he is aware of the concerns, but explained that he is held to the laws governing the way the BLM manages land. “The decision was made upon the BLM’s multiple use and sustained yield mandate. The BLM is a multiple use agency and we are required to look at it in that light,” he said.

He also pointed to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 saying, “You have to understand, we’re supposed to make as much of this available, of the high potential and moderate potential, for oil and gas or extractive industries as possible, while still protecting the environment.”

Selma Sierra, the Utah State Director of the BLM addressed the issue in an editorial before the proposal was released. “BLM recognizes the value public lands hold for local communities and their economies.  We have maintained a focus on supporting communities, their growth and diverse needs while maintaining national priorities and objectives, all within the context of BLM’s multiple use mandate,” she reported. 

“As State Director, I will continue to honor the integral role that the BLM and the land we manage plays in the livelihood and economies of local communities as we move forward to complete these vital planning proposals.”

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 describes the BLM’s multiple use responsibilities. It states, “The public lands be managed in a manner that will protect the quality of scientific, scenic, historical, ecological, environmental, air and atmospheric, water resource, and archeological values; that, where appropriate, will preserve and protect certain public lands in their natural condition; that will provide food and habitat for fish and wildlife and domestic animals; and that will pro-vide for outdoor recreation and human occupancy and use.”

It also includes: “The public lands be managed in a manner which recognizes the Nation’s need for domestic sources of minerals, food, timber, and fiber from the public lands including implementation of the Mining and Minerals Policy Act of 1970 as it pertains to the public lands.”

Ray Peterson, Emery County Public Lands Director distributed a summary of the proposal at the public lands meeting held Sept. 9. He reported to the council that it would not “make a whole lot of changes” to the way things would need to be done. The council discussed cattle allotments in the area, which the plan will not affected. Nearly all of the roads and trails will remain open, but vehicles will be required to stay on designated routes.

Peterson related that the county had been “involved in discussions from the beginning,” and described the proposal was “reasonable.” He also revealed that a protest period for those involved in the process would last 30 days from the date the proposed plan was released, but said he doesn’t expect that the county will protest the plan.

Gordon Honored at CEU Celebration

Josie Luke

Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon was presented with the Distinguished Service award by the College of Eastern Utah, as the college celebrated its 70th Anniversary Founder’s Day Celebration.

Gordon was presented the award for her compassionate service to the families of those who were killed and injured in the Crandall Canyon mine disaster. The award was presented by CEU Interim President Mike King and CEU Vice-President of Institutional Advancement and Student Services Brad King, who described Gordon as exhibiting the “true definition of ‘grace under pressure.’”

In a sketch of the mayor, given before she received the award, it stated, “It was only three weeks after she accepted the appointment [as mayor] that Huntington was rocked by the Crandall Canyon mine disaster. Mayor Gordon, along with many others, responded to the tragedy with courage, supporting the families of the injured and trapped men.”

It was those “many others” who Gordon elected to recognize in her acceptance speech. “The award that I’ve received tonight, I feel belongs to everybody who lives in Carbon and Emery County, truly,” she remarked. “In the past year, the pressure that our community was under was tremendous, and so many people gave so much. Not just me.

“I happened to be there in a position where people could find me, but I saw so much service and so much love, so much giving. I feel if there was an award to be given for every single person that lives in our counties that that is what should be done. Trust me. I was just a small tip on the iceberg.”

Also recognized at the celebration were Barb and Greg Benson, the Carbon High Class of ’52 and Terry and LeAnn Ficklin, who were given Gold Circle Awards for donations to the Gold Circle scholarship program; Phil Brown, who was given the Upon Their Shoulders Award for over 30 years of service at CEU; Lindsey Allen Newville and Kenyth J. Reynolds, who were inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame; Jim Dart, Sr. and Michael F. Tucker as Outstanding Alumni; Karen Jobe Templeton, who like Gordon, was awarded for distinguished service and Senator Mike Dmitrich, who was given the lifetime Achievement award.

Old Cabin Dismantled for
Trip to New Home

Kathy Ockey

An old, dilapidated house was torn town on Orangeville’s main street this past week and during the dismantling it was discovered it had an old cabin inside the framework.  Doug Huntington, Gary Lemons and Ron Thorne were doing the work and while the house was being taken apart, one of them commented they would never have thought that sod would be under the shingles. 

The date the cabin was built isn’t known, but it is estimated to have been in the early 1900s.  The original owners and occupants were William and Kate Fail.  They had two sons, Forbes and Fred, and Forbes and his wife May Lamph Fail lived in the cabin after his parents.  It was a very small cabin with probably only two rooms.

Rue Ware said he remembered going there with his mother when he was very small and said they had a beautiful garden and not a single weed on the place. He commented that it was “a very lovely home.”

Roseanne Fillmore also said every time her mother, Cleo Davis, went by the home she would say she thought they should tear the house down because her father would be heartbroken to see it looking the way it did.
The trail of ownership, according to court house records, shows the owners:  William and Kate Fail, then Forbes and May Lamph Fail, Edward and Marjorie Reid, Garth and Louise Heinegar and JoAnn and LeRay Huntington.

Cleo Davis’ wish to have the house torn down came true but the worn out old cabin will have a new life.

One of the men dismantling the home was Ron Thorne, owner of Thorne Construction and a builder and developer of new homes in the Salt Lake area.  Thorne said he has a home on a five acre lot in South Jordan and has also constructed a small pioneer village with granaries, metal and wooden water wagons, wagons, and hand carts on this lot.  His plans are to also reconstruct Will and Kate Fail’s cabin on this site.  He said he got the inspiration to build this pioneer village on his property from Montell Seely.  He said he was enthralled with Montell and the history he knew and the accomplishments that he made in his life.  He also said he had the privilege of talking to him on several occasions and the last time was the final Friday night of the Pageant. 

Thorne said he also owns an older home in Nauvoo and there is a large 4” X 12” X 8” stone at this home that was originally in the Nauvoo Temple.  He has had a representative of the Historical department of the Church authenticate it and he plans to have this stone as the stepping stone into Will and Kate Fail’s cabin when it is completed. 

The dilapidated little cabin that was hidden inside a fallen down house will again be “a very lovely place.”

Green River Council Briefed on
Cause of Recent Brownouts

Annalee Thayn

Rocky Mountain Power representatives came to the Green River City Council meeting to discuss recent brownouts in Green River.

Various terms were explained and the causes for the four longest brownouts were given. The weather and a truck hooking a cable television wire, which then hooked into a power wire, were the culprits. In the future Rocky Mountain Power is hoping that another substation will be built.

An alternative to current television satellite companies is being worked on as a franchise of Emery Telcom. The product will hopefully be available in November. It will be similar to other satellite companies, but an additional feature will be a channel that features events of Carbon and Emery Counties. It will also include a Mountain West channel. If you have DSL in your home you will be able to have this new system. There will be various packages offered as with satellite companies. DVR and HD will be also offered. The franchise ordinance was approved.

A point of diversion for water was discussed for a Nuclear Power Plant in the Mancos Industrial Park. The location is northeast of where I-70 and Highway 6 meet. This location was selected because it would be lower than most of the water users. This location was unanimously agreed to.

There is interest in having a paleontology field office in Green River. A suggested location for the field office would be on some of the land at the missile base. The field office would temporarily house students and individuals who come to excavate and study dinosaur bones in the area. It is hoped that by building this paleontology field office that it would generate more tourism dollars in Green River and make the city a destination for information about dinosaurs. This item was unanimously approved.

It was also approved that Green River City would accept bids for trap houses for the Green River Shooting Sports Park. The trap house would allow skeet shooting and clay pigeon shooting. One bid from Wisconsin has been researched. These builders would place the house here, but digging the ground for the spot and finishing the landscaping, would have to be done by others. These particular houses have already met all specifications. A range master would need to be hired in the future to monitor activity at the shooting sport park.

The Melon Slice float is in need of care. It was decided that a bid would be placed and someone would be hired to clean up and re-paint the Melon Slice.

Mulberry Street needs to be repaired and smoothed out. It needs a 25 miles per hour speed limit sign. Mayor Pat Brady asked Councilman Dan Harrison to look into what the street needs. After the department reports the meeting was adjourned.

Spartans Find their Groove,
Decimate Eagles

Josie Luke

After taking to the road for three games to start the season, the Emery High Spartan Football team took full advantage of their home field on Sept. 12, overpowering the Eagles of American Leadership Academy in an “ugly game”, by the score of 34-0.

The Spartan defense again proved to be the anchor of the team. After the Emery special teams fumbled the opening kickoff of the game, giving the Eagles the ball deep in Spartan territory, the defense quickly demonstrated their dominance, forcing ALA to turn the ball over on downs.

That exchange established what would be the storyline of the game-- every time the Eagles managed to get into Emery territory, the Spartan defense held, never allowing ALA to score.

They also forced six turnovers in the game, two interceptions and four turnovers, resulting in four Emery touchdowns. Emery’s interceptions were brought in by linebacker Cory Hansen and free safety Dusty Jensen.

Derrick Allred again led the team in tackles with 12. Chance Ariotti added another 6. They were backed up by the entire defensive team down to the sophomores-- Assistant Coach Gary Arrington reported that there were 20 players with at least one tackle in the game.

Emery’s offense also enjoyed playing on their own field, taking better care of the ball, only giving up two turnovers. Quarterback Gatlan Huntington was 11-15 passing, throwing two touchdowns and only one interception. The offensive line was also tough, countering the almost constant blitzing of the Eagle defense making for some big plays.

The offensive star was JT Noyes, who scored the first four touchdowns of the game on runs of 19, seven and three yards, and a 3-yard reception. He rushed for a total of 84 yards.  Ariotti had a solid game on both sides of the ball, rushing for 44 yards. The Spartans’ final touchdown came on a 16-yard reception by Tanner Procarione. The team had 180 yards rushing and 132 yards passing in the game.

Emery Coach Jimmy Jones was undoubtedly pleased to get the win at home, but expressed disappointment that it had been what he called an “ugly” game. “It’s always good to win,” he remarked. “It was just kind of an ugly game the whole way. They just blitzed almost every player on every down. When you play like that, what you do is give up big plays. We had a few big plays because they kept gambling.” 

Compound the stout Emery defense with the ugliness of the game, and you get the frustration of what happened near the end of the game. After a controversial fumble by ALA, the Spartans took over on their own 21- yard line, but were soon deep in the Eagles’ territory when their opponents were called for three straight unsportsmanlike penalty calls. One on an ALA player who, in frustration, threw the referee’s flag and was thrown out of the game.

Though the Spartans were in prime position for another score, they gave the ball over on downs and then allowed their defense to do what it had throughout the game, keep the Eagles from scoring.

Emery plays their Homecoming game this week against Uintah, who comes to Castle Dale with a 3-1 record. The game is on Friday at 7 p.m.

Cross Country Team Competes at Home

Josie Luke

The Emery Cross Country team officially opened their season with a home meet in Ferron against teams from Carbon and Delta on Sept. 3, and also participated on the same course during the Peach Days festivities, Sept. 6.

In more familiar surroundings, and after more practice, many of the Spartan runners cut their times from their previous meet. Emery’s Lacey Montgomery again ran well, finishing second, with a time of 20:21, beating her time by 37 seconds. Her teammate, Larelan Huntsman came in sixth, at 23:22.
For the boy’s team, Spencer Fehlberg finished fourth, coming across the finish line with a time of 18:28, and Dustin Jensen was ninth, with a time of 19:26

Boy’s Coach Darrell Gardner was pleased with the team’s intensity even though one of their best runners came in last because of sickness. He concluded that overall, “it went pretty good.”

Gardner reported that he is looking forward to a tough season, saying, “It is going to be a tough road this year because there are some tough teams in our region, and we are going to have to work hard to make state.”

Though the boy’s team came in third in the Sept. 3 meet, with more experience, they can be a strong team.

Individuals on the Emery girl’s team, coached by Kristy Guymon, also continue to perform well, but without a full team of seven runners, it is difficult to judge them based on their team scores. With two more runners, they could do well in what promises to be a tight region.

The team also competed at Uintah High on Sept. 9, with the boys team coming in third.  They will compete at Spanish Fork today.

Tennis Team Battered During
Grueling Week

Rebecca Lofley

The Emery High tennis team competed in three tennis matches this past week.  They played at home against both Salem Hills on Sept. 9 and Uintah on Sept. 10. They finished off the week by playing in Draper against Juan Diego on Sept. 12.

The two home matches had equal victories and losses.  In playing Salem Hills, the Emery varsity suffered several losses, with zero singles wins, but the junior varsity won several of their matches.  Against Uintah the varsity faired much better.  Adriane Weihing and Melanie Frisbie, playing first doubles, beat their opponents in the first set with a score of 6-3.  They concluded their match in the second set, exhibiting determination and focus when the score was at 6-5 to make each point count.  They won the match at 7-5.  Kaitlin Potter and Courtney Sitterud as second doubles showed consistency winning 6-1, 6-1 both sets of their match.  Whitney Saupan, first singles, leading the singles players in number of wins, beat her opponent, 6-3, 6-4.
Playing at Juan Diego, Kaitlin Potter and Courtney Sitterud, second doubles, and a few JV players were the only players to return home with wins. 

The tennis team’s season will conclude in a short four weeks with a select few possibly qualifying for the state tennis tournament on Oct. 10-11. 

With just five matches left before region, the girls play to win.  Two such matches will be held Sept. 16 in Carbon and Sept. 18 with Delta coming to Emery.  The student body will be out “rooting” for the team with root beer floats in hand as part of the Homecoming festivities.

Wrestling with Integrity

James L. Davis

During election years, especially during presidential election years, you invariably hear people lament the loss of integrity by our elected officials.

While it certainly seems that many of our politicians are lacking in personal honor, it’s also true that politicians aren’t alone when it comes to a loss of integrity. It’s just that politicians are more closely scrutinized than most of us.

Not only are we as a people a little lacking when it comes to personal integrity, many of us aren’t even sure what the word means.  In fact, in 2005 the word integrity was the most looked up word on the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.  According to Merriam-Webster integrity is defined as: firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values; an unimpaired condition; or the quality or state of being complete or undivided.

I have always looked to people I admire in my life as men or women of integrity that I would like to emulate, but it wasn’t until recently that I really paused to consider what it is to be a person of integrity.  I had always assumed that integrity was interchangeable with honesty and while that may be true, I’m not sure it’s entirely true.

I had the opportunity to attend a lecture on integrity by author, professor and motivational speaker Quinn McKay, and the first thing I learned in the lecture was that when it came to integrity, I hadn’t wrestled with the word enough to be entirely sure what it meant.

 The author of several books on integrity, most recently The Bottom Line on Integrity explained that integrity was something that you had to wrestle with.  That it wasn’t meant to be an easy thing to be a person of integrity.

“Integrity is often thought to be a natural behavior and dishonesty an abnormal one. Actually, integrity is an attribute that must be learned and then meticulously cultivated until it has grown to its full capacity.  After that a constant vigilance is required to sustain it.  The bumps, rips, tears, snares of everyday life will cause it to weather, decay, and disintegrate if constant maintenance, upkeep, and protection is not in place,” McKay said in the book.

As a society we like to crucify not only our public officials but anyone and everyone that is in the public eye for what we perceive as misdeeds.  While we may not always know how to adequately define unethical behavior, as Associate Justice Potter Stewart said about pornography, we know it when we see it.

Since listening to that lecture I have wondered how our current political climate fits into a discussion on integrity.  Is the presidential campaign of either candidate being conducted with integrity?  Is a disavowal by a candidate to the latest smear tactic of their own campaign enough to restore their integrity?

Abraham Lincoln said “I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day,” and I suppose that as a nation if we could all commit to that then we would find ourselves in a far better place than we are right now.

While we like to say as a nation that we expect and even demand that our leaders be men and women of integrity, of honor, until we take the time to wrestle with our own integrity, until we define it for ourselves and use it as our guiding principal, then we will get exactly what we deserve from our leaders.

George Washington said “I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”

If, as McKay suggests, integrity is a challenge that must be wrestled with, then perhaps it is time for all of us to make our way to the mat.

Swimming Pool
Management

I am writing this as a follow-up to the letter printed in the The Emery County Review a few weeks ago by Chris Collard concerning the new swimming pool and its management.  I agree with the article and would like to thank the Review for getting this issue out to the public. 

At the time of application Marilyn Collard was already a certified pool operator, which is a much more difficult and inclusive certification than was required for the job. She already had it.  This certification is harder to earn and entails a lot more components involved with running and maintaining a swimming pool.  Moreover, she’s also certified to teach the lifeguard class and has done so for multiple years.  It is difficult to understand how anyone with these qualifications would not warrant an interview.  She was very instrumental in getting a new pool in the first place.  She sent around petitions and really pushed voters to vote for it.

I worked with Marilyn for five years at the city pool, with two years of that under her management, and I saw her do many good things with the swimming programs.  She alone came up with the junior lifeguard and swim team programs for the city pool, both of which were big hits and drew many participants from all over the county.  She’s done merit badge classes and has literally taught half of this county how to swim. 

Marilyn knows swimming and swimming pools inside and out, has great passion for it, and loves doing it.  I personally have watched her not only teach hundreds of kids to swim, but also as she instructed our swim teachers how to develop the fundamentals of swimming in young swimmers.  She knows the details of every stroke and every component of swimming, and has been gifted with the ability to teach.  She has trained herself with Olympic coaches and had experience no one else in our county has.

As someone who plans on using the new swimming pool, I want somebody running it who knows what they are doing and will be able to make further improvements.  Our entire county has lost out because she was overlooked for the manager position, but it will be a much larger loss, and especially the youth will suffer, if she is again overlooked for the position involving our swimming programs.  Her great expertise will benefit not only the casual swimmer but those who want to swim competitively as well, and it is my hope that this expertise and her passion will be used to make our new facility the best.  She would be a huge advocate for community.  If we want our swimming programs to be the best Marilyn needs to be involved.  I’m excited for the new pool and want somebody with her level of knowledge involved.
