A Good Harvest

The Clawson community gathered for their annual Harvest Celebration on Sept. 20 and despite an afternoon rain storm, or perhaps because of it, the mood was festive as children tried their homemade boats down the suddenly active drains of the town, while others sat patiently for face painting.  A yard and bake sale was held later in the afternoon, and the evening ended with a community dinner as the town celebrated the season and the way of life that is Clawson.

Tempers Flare in Commission

James L. Davis

Commissioner Gary Kofford made a public, impassioned call for Commissioner Drew Sitterud to resign during the public comments portion of the Sept. 16 meeting of the Emery County Commission.

The meeting began with the official notification of Sitterud’s reinstatement to the commission after he pled guilty to two misdemeanor counts of wrongful appropriation.  Sitterud was originally charged with three felony counts of misuse of public monies, but the charges were reduced following a plea agreement.

The original charges were filed against the two-term commissioner on June 17 by Assistant Attorney General Pat Nolan and Sitterud was placed on administrative leave while the case was pending.

According to a news release from the Emery County Attorney’s office, in the Sept. 2 plea bargain struck with the attorney general’s office, Sitterud pled guilty to two counts of wrongful appropriation, both Class A Misdemeanors.  He was specifically allowed to plead guilty under a statute which does not automatically disqualify him from office.  Upon his pleas of guilty, the original felony charges were dismissed by the court which, by operation of law, allowed him to return to office.  He did so on Sept. 2, and that fact was officially recognized during the Sept. 16 meeting.

Sitterud’s reinstatement was the first item on the agenda for the commission during the meeting and during the citizen concerns portion of the meeting Kofford minced few words when voicing his opinion about the fellow commissioner’s legal troubles.

“I don’t know of a more appropriate place to do this than right here. We have a situation where we have a commissioner that got into a little bit of trouble. I think it’s interesting that the gravity of the situation has been swept under the carpet, if you will.  Nobody wants to address it, nobody wants to talk about it. It’s been implied that it’s a smear campaign.  I think the only smear that has been done is on the employees of Emery County, on the population of Emery County.  When you get into smear tactics in my mind it’s one party against the other.  In this case you have here a Republican commissioner, a Republican county attorney; you have a Republican attorney generals office.  I fail to see the tactics of a smear campaign,” Kofford said.

Kofford went on to address a letter that Sitterud had published in both The Emery County Review and the Emery County Progress where he stated that the county had no policy when it came to travel reimbursements, which is what led to the problems he faced.  Kofford stated that there was a policy that had been put together in 1984 by the county, but then indicated that the policy applied to employees of the county only, not elected officials.  Elected officials are governed by legislative statute.
“This doesn’t apply to elected officials.  For some reason we have a double standard.  I don’t buy this.  We’ve been reviewing it for a year and none of your elected officials will address that issue,” Kofford said.  “In talking to people they have said, well, it’s only a little bit. Does it take a dollar amount to become a thief?”

Commissioner Jeff Horrocks eventually asked Kofford where he was headed with his statement.

“What I’m asking for and I think it’s appropriate, is that Commissioner Sitterud submit a letter of resignation,” Kofford said.  “I think it’s very appropriate.”

Following Kofford’s statement Horrocks said that Sitterud has been through the legal system and pled guilty to the two misdemeanors and that elected officials were not automatically removed from office for misdemeanors.  Horrocks asked if Sitterud had a statement and the commissioner made none at that time.

Horrocks asked if anyone else had a comment and Sheriff Lamar Guymon took a moment to address how the situation had impacted his office.

“I guess my biggest frustration is that I am a Democrat and whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, that’s a personal choice.  What I am frustrated is about is how black me and my department are being painted for doing what we are paid to do.  This is not something we went out and tried to find on our own.  This was brought to us in the form a complaint and now the rumor mill is that we initiated this all on our own.  That is about as far from the truth that you can get.  Had we a choice in this we would have run away from this just as fast as we could just because of what is going on right now,” the sheriff said.

Emery County Clerk/Auditor Brenda Dugmore said that she did not feel the conversation was appropriate for a commission meeting and Horrocks said he had let the conversation continue to allow opinions to be expressed openly and that the voters would decide in November whether to reelect Sitterud or not. Until that time the commission would work together.

Later in the week in a conversation with The Emery County Review, Kofford again addressed the letter Sitterud had published in both county newspapers, focusing specifically on Sitterud’s contention that did not know what he was supposed to do with the travel reimbursement payments. According to Kofford, when he came into office Sitterud was one of the commissioners to explain how he was supposed to handle situations such as that.

“They explained when I came into office that you can collect pay from one agency, but not from both.  Somewhere down the line Drew forgot that,” Kofford said.

The wrongful appropriation charges that Sitterud pled guilty to arose out of repayment of travel expenses and stipends paid by other boards which he sat on.

According to Kofford the problem that arose around Sitterud is an example of a larger problem that clouds all political offices in the state.
“There’s a double standard as far as employees and elected officials are concerned.  Elected officials should be held to a higher standard and they’re not.  It’s the same thing we argue about with the state legislature every year,” Kofford said.

When it comes to Commissioner Sitterud, Commissioner Kofford admitted that there was no love lost between the two and there has been a personality conflict between them from the very beginning of his time on the commission.  He said that when the first complaints were made about Sitterud’s actions he was determined that something be done about it.

With the November elections a little more than a month away, the issue has become a political hot potato, and with the election so close it has been one of the reasons why Sitterud has wanted to get the issue resolved before the elections so that voters can have enough information to make a decision.

Laurie Pitchforth, who is running against Sitterud in the upcoming election, said she was leaving the decision up to voters regarding the commissioner’s actions.

“I am not in a position to make a judgment about Mr. Sitterud’s case.  I have the faith that our justice system will handle this matter properly, and I trust the good people of Emery County to make an informed choice in this election,” Pitchforth said.

For Sitterud’s part, during the commissioner meeting he said only that he appreciated the support he had been given and that he was not interested in making an enemy of anyone.  After the meeting he declined to comment, deferring to his attorney, Sonny Olsen.

Olsen, while not present during the Sept. 16 meeting, had a comment regarding Kofford’s outburst.

“Commissioner Kofford’s view of what happened is not accurate.  This wasn’t a case of theft, the court could have pushed for theft but they didn’t.  It’s in the best interest of the county to move forward and let the voters decide based on the facts, not the ranting of Commissioner Kofford.  If anyone has a question about what happened, Commissioner Sitterud will be happy to answer it,” Sonny Olsen.

Sentencing for Sitterud is set for Sept. 30.

Commissioner Blasts Review for not
Sensationalizing Story

James L. Davis

The Emery County Review was taken to task by Emery County Commissioner Gary Kofford on Sept. 16 for not sensationalizing the story about Commissioner Drew Sitterud’s legal troubles.

“Why are the papers afraid to print such a thing? I don’t think you’ve covered it very good.  I don’t think the citizens of Emery County know what is going on.  Commissioner Sitterud signed an affidavit that said he is guilty of two Class A misdemeanors. The Review had him reinstated before he ever came through to the commission meeting, and I realize it is a technicality of the law,” Kofford said.

Commissioner Kofford was referring to the Sept. 9 issue of The Emery County Review that headlined the fact that Commissioner Sitterud had been reinstated following the dismissal of the felony charges against him and his guilty plea to two misdemeanors.  With the felony charges dismissed, the commissioner was permitted to resume his duties on Sept. 2, even though he wasn’t officially recognized as being reinstated by the commission until Sept. 16.

When asked how either The Emery County Review or the Emery County Progress had misrepresented the facts, Kofford said that the papers did not misrepresent the facts, but took issue with how they ran the stories.

“I think you failed to report accurately what was going on.  I think as I watch other papers they tend to sensationalize it a little bit, if you will.  Nobody down here thinks there’s a problem so nobody up state thinks there’s a problem,” Kofford said. 
The commissioner referred to an incident in Salt Lake County several years ago where an official had been accused of misusing public funds and how the newspapers had reacted to the story. 

“The papers actually kicked him out of office in my mind.  There was enough pressure that justice was done,” he said.
The editors of both newspapers, present during the meeting, said that it was not their policy to sensationalize any story.

“I do take a bit of exception that we didn’t sensationalize it enough because I don’t think that’s our job,” said Patsy Stoddard, editor of the Emery County Progress.

Forest Service Concerned
Over OHV Abuse

Josie Luke

As more and more hunters turn to ATVs for transportation, the Forest Service is under more and more pressure to keep operators on designated trails in order to preserve delicate scenic areas.

According to Forest Ranger Don Riddle, it seems “as soon as hunting season starts, all reason is gone. The most important thing to them is harvesting whatever animal they’re licensed for,” he related.

The Forest Service was surprised earlier during the archery hunt, when rangers patrolled trails which were posted as closed. They reported that nearly 50 percent of ATV users looked at the sign and drove around if there was no barrier. Many were stopped by rangers, and some were cited. The Forest Service is very concerned about the problem, especially the issue of user-created trails.

“It is amazing how many archers are on motorized equipment this year. I thought most of the problem with illegal routes was during the regular season, but it is as big a problem during archery season,” revealed Ferron District Ranger Mesia Nyman at the public lands meeting Sept. 9. She encouraged all those who use ATVs to get a free travel map for the area, produced by the Forest Service.

Riddle firmly expressed that he is not against proper ATV use on the forest. He simply asks that those who use motorized vehicles be responsible. “It all falls back on what’s important to them. Do we really want an ATV trail in every canyon on every ridge?” he asked.

According to a study on the Forest Service website, the state of Utah has the fifth highest ATV use in the country at 32.5 percent, with Wyoming having the highest and Rhode Island the lowest. Though hunting is not the highest reported use for ATV’s, Riddle reported that most of the problems are seen during hunting season.

“I don’t want to put it all on hunters,” Riddle said. “I’m sure before the season there are those who are out recreating on the trails, but during the hunting season is when we see the worst of it all.”

 He offered a simple formula for those who may be confused or ignorant of the rules. “All trails are closed unless posted open. Most of the user-created trails will not be on the travel map. The best thing is if it’s not on the map, don’t go on it. If you have any questions, contact one of us and we can tell you.”

The U.S. Forest Service published a Travel Management Rule, covering such issues in November of 2005. It states, “The final rule will prohibit the use of motor vehicles off the designated system, as well as use of motor vehicles on routes and in areas that is not consistent with the designations.

“The clear identification of roads, trails, and areas for motor vehicle use on each National Forest will enhance management of National Forest System lands; sustain natural resource values through more effective management of motor vehicle use; enhance opportunities for motorized recreation experiences on National Forest System lands; address needs for access to National Forest System lands; and preserve areas of opportunity on each National Forest for non-motorized travel and experiences.”

Riddle is especially concerned that ATV users are traveling in areas which they haven’t been in for years. He said that for the last two years he has received reports from concerned hunters of motorized traffic on Black Canyon Trail, which has been closed for 12 years.  He bristles at the thought of the area being used by ATVs.

“That area is closed for a reason,” he said. “Our roadless areas give the animals a sanctuary. They are hunted in so many areas. I tell people it’s just like a human. Once you get home from work, your home is your sanctuary. It’s a place to relax. That’s how I look at it.”

The local office is also encouraging citizens to get involved in helping to solve the problem. “The general public needs to get involved and help us the best they can,” said Riddle. “With our limited resources, we can’t be everywhere.”

Huntington Council Reports on
Beautification Projects

Josie Luke

Even after the dedication of the Crandall Canyon Miners’ Memorial, the Huntington City Council had a full plate of city business to address during their city council meeting.

During the meeting, held Sept. 17, the council and mayor each in turn took time to express their gratitude to all those who assisted in completing the memorial.

Mayor Hilary Gordon thanked the council and volunteers for their work on the monument. She especially praised Councilmember Julie Jones, saying, “Her aspirations are a lot higher than mine would have been, and the whole place looks beautiful. I’m really glad we went the extra mile.”

Jones also expressed gratitude to all of the volunteers and businesses who contributed “endless hours” to the project. These comments were echoed by the other council members, including Travis Larsen who issued “a special ‘thanks’ to Julie and everyone else that was involved.”

The council also announced that the city beautification project to cement neglected park strips along Main Street was finished Sept. 15. Larsen, who is over city beautification expressed that he believes the results were “worth every penny.” Jerry Livingston also complimented the construction company on their work.

The next step in the process coordinated by the beautification committee will be installing benches along Main Street. Larsen reported that the benches would be delivered soon.

Mindee Nicholson, from Four Corners Community Behavioral Health approached the council to request the assistance of a Huntington community member in gathering information to apply for a state incentive grant from the Strategic Prevention Framework to address the problem of illegal prescription drug use in the community.

Nicholson has already traveled to many council meetings in the county to bring together volunteers from each town. Huntington council members Kathy Cowley and Jones volunteered to represent the city.

Kent Wilson, owner of Emery County Sanitation also addressed the council. Wilson expressed his appreciation to Huntington City for “taking a big gamble” in choosing to approve his garbage service bid four years before. He said the recent problems in Ferron had “reminded me how grateful I am for Huntington, how much faith you put in us.”

He explained that the contract is scheduled to end next September and asked the council to consider continuing the contract for two to three more years at the same price. Wilson was careful to say he did not want the contract changed, because that would be illegal.
Councilmember Bob Mills stated that he believed the contract in fact included an “automatic renewal,” but suggested the council look closely at the contract along with asking the county attorney to review the proposal before moving forward. Wilson agreed, and the council elected to address the issue again later.

Students get to Work on New
Children’s Justice Center

Kathy Ockey

The official groundbreaking of the new Emery County Children’s Justice Center was held Sept. 19 at its new address, 900 North Center Street in Castle Dale.

Shelley Wright, director of the Emery County Children’s Justice Center, said this project started two years ago when Emery County lost their justice center.  The center at that time was a residence the county was renting and the owners of the property sold the home.  Wright approached the Emery County commissioners about finding a home to rent or lease to relocate the justice center and they decided to get something new.

There has been a great deal of cooperation between different agencies to find a place for the center.  The land the new justice center is being built on was donated by the Emery County School District, along with two water shares.  Castle Dale City waived fees for the utilities and also cooperated to meet special conditions for the center to be in a residential area.  The Emery High School building class students, under the direction of instructor Jim Keele, is constructing the center.  “The kids are building a building for the kids,” he said.

Those involved in the groundbreaking were:  Shelley Wright, Justice Center Director;  Candace Jensen, Kelly Larsen, Christy Fredrickson, Kizzie Ellington, Commissioners Gary Kofford and Jeff Horrocks, Leslie Bolinder, David Blackwell, Ed Clark, and Jim Keele and his students.

JT Noyes runs for the end zone.

Spartans Fall to Utes in
Homecoming Heartbreaker

Josie Luke

Luck was not on the Emery Spartan football team’s side in their homecoming game against the Uintah Utes on Sept. 9. After fighting back after a slow first half to knot up the game in the second half on a 93-yard kickoff return by JT Noyes, the Spartans lost the game by a mere extra point, 20-21.

Assistant Coach Gary Arrington summed up the game saying, “The team really played hard, and the fans got their money’s worth, but you really want the win.”

The Spartans indeed had their chances in the game, but couldn’t seem to win the battle of field position, especially in the first half where, on average, they were forced to start out offensive drives on their own 18 yard line. This, added to the fact that their offensive timing was off in the game, made for a scrappy game.

The Utes, on the other hand, had good field position, but were consistently held back by the Emery Defense.

The Utes scored the first touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run, after blocking an Emery punt, which left them with only 19 yards to go to score. The first half would have been much more lopsided were it not for the Spartan defense which afterward held the Utes scoreless until half time, particularly Free Safety Dusty Jensen, who had three outstanding interceptions in the second quarter.

The Spartans came out of halftime with renewed energy. Jensen took the Uintah kickoff and ran it back 30 yards before being tackled at the 32, then JT Noyes had a huge run to get the ball to the Utes’ 8 yard line. After Chance Ariotti took it to the 1 yard line, Quarterback Gatlan Huntington took the ball in on the option for the touchdown. The Spartans missed the extra point, so the score was 6-7.

The beginning of the fourth quarter looked promising for the Spartans, who had pinned the Utes back on their own 1 yard line with an awesome kick, but Uintah put together a gritty 99-yard drive to take the lead 14-6.

After such a drive, Emery might have folded and given up, but the team was determined to give their fans the win. Noyes grabbed the Uintah kickoff and, behind great blocking, weaved and spun his way 93 yards for the touchdown. Still down two, Emery was forced to go for the two point conversion. Huntington kept the ball, rolling out to the right, and stretched to get the ball past the pylon and into the corner of the end zone to tie the game.

Though both teams each had two more chances to score, the drives followed the script of the game. Emery held the Utes from scoring, by twice stopping them on fourth down, and the Spartans offense couldn’t get anything going.

In overtime, Emery had the first opportunity to attempt to score. Unlike during regulation, the Spartans looked primarily to their passing game for the score. Tight End Cameron Hansen brought the ball to the 8 yard line on a 17-yard reception, and then brought the brought the excitement of the crowd to a peak with a reception in the end zone for the touchdown.

But, after missing the extra point, the pressure on the Emery defense was extreme. They had to hold the Utes offense from scoring for the 10th time, which was made even more difficult by the fact that in overtime, Uintah had only 25 yards to go to score. The Spartans again forced the Utes to go for the score on 4th down, but the Utes running back, who had 150 yards rushing in the game, pounded the ball into the end zone from the 4 yard line for the touchdown.

When the Uintah extra point attempt sailed through the uprights, the heartbreak was palpable. The loss was Emery’s third of the season, bringing the Spartans’ record to 2-3.

Head Coach Jimmy Jones said he thought the team played well defensively. Along with the three interceptions by Jensen, Derrick Allred led the team in tackles with 16. The offense on the other hand, he said had a difficult game. The team had only 38 yards passing and 105 yards rushing. “We’re struggling offensively,” he revealed. “Our execution, our timing, our blocking, we’re a little bit out of sync. Having said that, there were so many different plays where if any of them would have gone our way, it would have ended differently.”

Tennis team faces Carbon,
Richfield and Delta

Rebecca Lofley

The Emery High tennis team had three matches last week.  They played at Carbon on Sept. 16, and at home both against Richfield on Sept. 17 and against Delta on Sept. 18.

The team came away from Carbon with all wins.  Against Richfield, Whitney Saupan, first singles won- 6:3, 6:1.

“She gets better all the time” said Coach Hansen.

First doubles, Adriane Weihing and Melanie Frisbee, won in a tie breaker.  Katilin Potter and Courtney Sitterud, second doubles, won 6-2, 6-3.  They are undefeated this year.  All of the junior varsity players won their matches in a clean sweep. 

Against Delta the team had extra support as many students came out for the “Root for the Tennis team” activity where the student council handed out root beer floats and students sat on the grand stands watching.  The players were sufficiently rooted for and first and second doubles along with first singles won. 

As part of the root for the tennis team activity a couple of students stayed after to challenge some of the teams players.  Landon Fehlberg challenged Kaitlin Potter who showed him exactly why she is second doubles, winning 6:0. 
               
The team will play twice this week, on Sept. 23 against North Sanpete at home and on Sept. 25 against Salem Hills at Salem Hills.

Shawnalee Hinkins rounds the second barrel in
competition on Sunday.

Barrel Racers Wrap Up
Season with Double Run

Utah District 7 of the National Barrel Horse Association wrapped up their season with a double run race in Castle Dale on Sept. 21.  

Each participant made two runs.  Each run was paid as a separate race and then a target was paid to those that ran closest to their own time.  District 7 includes members from Emery, Carbon and Grand Counties.  Races this year were primarily held in Castle Dale at the Blue Sage Arena, with only a few early races held at the Carbon Fairgrounds.  Ground preparation was by Gary Adams, a heartfelt thanks to him.

Winning the 1D in the first race was Angie McCourt on Magula Garula.  Angie posted a 17.016 for $147.  Second was Rachael Krompel 17.044 and AnnDee Adams of Castle Dale was third with a 17.235.
The 2D was won by Amy Adams with a 17.516 on Oxfordslittlerocket for $126.  Second was Shawnalee Hinkins 17.805.  Third was Donna Olsen with 17.852

Three D was Ferron native Natalie Anderson with an 18.138 for $84.  Second Shawnalee Hinkins on Streakin Easy 18.184. Amy Allen picked up third place with 18.210.

Dropping back two seconds from the 1D winning time was again Shawnalee Hinkins on Bullseye 19.177 for $63.  Shawnalee competes on four horses. She hails from Ferron.  Second went to Paige Motte, Third to Demi Behn from Miller Creek.

There were 35 entries in the open.  Nine participants under the age of 18 competed in the youth division.

The youth first go was won by AnnDee Adams; 2D, Amy Allen; 3D, Jessica Hardy.  The second go of the youth was again AnnDee Adams, 1D; Scoti Moon, 2D; and Morgan Jensen, 3D, wrapped it up.
Second go of the open race saw Amy Adams jump up to win the 1D with a 16.948 for $147.  Amy lives in Castle Dale.  Second was Melanie Jaramillo 16.994 and third Rachael Krompel with 17.016.
In the 2D Cali Moon of Wellington ran a 17.472 for first, Shawnalee Hinkins second, Roslyn Motte third.

In the three D Scotti Moon picked up the win with a 17.971 for $84.  Second was Markie Rudman, 18.018; third was Martha Kilcrease, 18.061.

Kathy D’Ambrosio joined us for a win in the 4D with a 19.279 for $63; second was Kim Moosman, third Shawnalee Hinkins.

The race was also a target race.  Each participant pays an extra entry fee to play in the target.   The object of a target race is to run your first run and then try to be the same time with your second run. The person that comes the closest to their own time is the winner.  Kathy Price posted an 18.502 and an 18.486 for a difference of .016 seconds.   This year the entry fee for the target was jackpotted rather than an award being given.  Second was Rachael Krompel with .028 difference, third Shawnalee Hinkens .059 and fourth Kim Moosman .132.   The target adds a little different flare to the race and often is someone who did not pick up a check in the regular race.

This was the final race of the season for District 7.  There will be year end awards given at a banquet at a later date.  Winning the Open 1D year end was Rachael Krompel; 2D, Amy Adams; 3D, Kathy Price; 4D Shawnalee Hinkins.   Competitors ran at races from April through September to accumulate points towards the year end.

The Castle Dale Blue Sage Arena will see barrel action return on Oct. 1, with a fall and spring series.

Fighting Against the Sensational

James L. Davis

Politics can be poisonous.  Mix politics with a healthy dose of journalism and you have a witches’ brew that boils over until it touches everything.

The political storm swirling around Commissioner Drew Sitterud and his legal troubles erupted into a full-blown hurricane last week as Commissioner Gary Kofford publicly called for his resignation and blasted the local media for not making a big enough sensation out of the story.

Sitting in the commission chambers on that Tuesday morning you could feel the tension in the air and when Kofford began to speak during the public comments portion of the meeting you knew that whatever was going to be said wasn’t going to be pleasant.  It wasn’t.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that’s one motto that newspaper editorial staffs just about everywhere can agree upon.  Whether a public commission meeting was the proper place for Commissioner Kofford to make his angry outburst, is a matter of debate.  For those who feel that Commissioner Sitterud has not been properly punished for his misdeeds, perhaps it is.  For those who believe the commissioner admitted his wrongdoing and is trying to continue to do the job he was elected to do, then the answer is probably no, it was not appropriate.

You quite often see two faces of journalism in the world today: journalists who still endeavor to report the news, and journalists who endeavor to make the news.  In covering the issues revolving around Commissioner Sitterud, The Emery County Review has attempted to report the facts to the best of our ability and without bias.

When the story about charges against the commissioner first broke an article reporting the facts against Commissioner Sitterud ran on the front page. Realizing that in a small community rumors fly like a thrown dagger and can do as much harm, I wrote an editorial encouraging the community to let the legal system do its job before anyone jumped to conclusions about the commissioner’s guilt or innocence.

I wrote the editorial because when all is said and done, when the issue is behind us, when the elections are over, we will still be a community and need to put our differences behind us.

When Commissioner Kofford stated that he did not think we had sensationalized the story enough I at first thought I hadn’t heard him correctly.  The journalism profession is accused of being too sensational virtually every day, yet here we were being accused of not being sensational enough.
I believed then and I continue to believe now that it is not the job of journalists, especially small town, community newspaper journalists, to sensationalize any story, no matter how small, no matter how big.  It is our job to report the news as accurately as we can and your job as the reader to interpret the news.

Within the pages of The Emery County Review we will endeavor to keep our opinions right where they belong, on the editorial page…right beside your own.
