Ferron Mayor Resigns

Josie Luke

Ferron Mayor Gil Conover resigned his position at the city council meeting held Thursday, Sept. 25. The mayor did not directly address the reasons for his resignation, but thanked the city for the opportunity to serve. “I’ll miss it here,” he said. “I’ve really enjoyed it.”

The council approved the resignation unanimously and thanked Conover for his service to the city, presenting him with a golf pass and a golf club. He in turn thanked them for approving the resignation. “We’ve got a great council here and it’s been an honor to serve with you,” Conover expressed. “The city is in good hands.”

The council appointed Councilmember Trent Jackson to serve as mayor pro tempore until a mayor can be appointed. The city will accept letters of intent to apply for the position until Oct. 21. They will then appoint a new mayor at the council meeting Oct. 23.

Grilling the Candidates

Josie Luke

Candidates from a range of political races took the opportunity to appear and answer questions from Emery County citizens at the Meet the Candidate Night held in the Little Theatre at Emery High School on Sept. 24.

The event, sponsored by the Emery County Economic Development Council and the Emery County Progress drew 12 political candidates in races from Emery County School Board to State Auditor. Those appearing were Janelle Dugmore, Laurel Johansen, Mike McCandless, Sam Singleton and Rue Ware for positions on the school board; Laurie Pitchforth and Drew Sitterud for county commission; David Hinkins and Brad King for state senate; Austin Johnson for state auditor; Bob Springmeyer for Governor; and Bill Dew for U.S. Congress. 

The high school venue proved to be a perfect size for the crowd that attended. Over 100 citizens turned out to hear the candidates briefly introduce themselves and answer questions from the crowd. Candidates were given three minutes to introduce themselves to the audience, and then they were asked questions submitted by audience members before the event started.

At first, the candidates were given two minutes to respond to questions, but because so many were asked to respond to the queries, the time was limited to a minute. Near the end, the event was opened up for questions from the crowd. The questions ranged on issues from education to illegal immigration.

The first question of the night dealt with education; It asked why, if a business produced an inferior product it could be recalled, the same couldn’t occur if educational practices or educators proved to be inferior.  

Many of the candidates acknowledged that the education system and some educators may not be perfect but applauded the hard work of educators in the state. Dew summed up the other point many of them made in quoting what his father, an educator had said, “When a student has an issue, if I can get the parents involved, I very seldom have a failure.” All of the candidates urged parents to take an active roll in their children’s education.

Another question was in regards to the issue of illegal immigration, specifically a bill from the last legislative session. The question was addressed to the candidates for State Senate. King reported he had voted against the bill because he viewed it as “a bad bill.” He said that illegal immigration is indeed a “serious issue,” proposing that the most pressing element currently is in “securing our own borders.”

Hinkins stated he was not as familiar with the legislation, but agreed with King that border security is a huge issue. He submitted that the Canadian border may in fact be “more neglected” than the Mexican Border, saying that terrorists had entered the U.S. through that border.

Springmeyer also addressed the issue. He explained that illegal status is determined by the federal government, not the state, and revealed that he supports the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of “compassion.”

The school board candidates were posed the question of what is the biggest issue currently facing the school district. Ware reported that one of the issues in the district is that nearly all of the school buildings are getting old and are in need of “rejuvenation and remodeling.” McCandless said there could be “ten number one priorities,” but discussed “emphasizing making sure children are ready to work” when they graduate.

Dugmore talked about the issue of low enrollments and the effects it is having on the schools. Johansen echoed Dugmore, adding that sometimes there is sometimes too much testing and that the state may be “micromanaging educators.” She encouraged legislators to “let educators decide how money is used.” Singleton also addressed the effects of low enrollment, but held that the district is doing well, pointing to the fact that since the inception of No Child Left Behind, they have never had a school on “improvement status.”

The candidates for the Emery County Commission were asked what they viewed as Emery County’s greatest strength. Sitterud responded saying, “It’s the people,” commending them for their strength and “great work ethic.” Pitchforth also pointed to the people of the county, saying “We are the strength of Emery County.” She also said the county is a “gold mine” for tourism, economic development and recreation.

Another of the questions focused on the possible merger between the College of Eastern Utah and Utah State University.  Many of the candidates reported they still had many questions about the results of such a merger. King, who is a vice-president at CEU said that in the time he had, he couldn’t even “scratch the surface” of the issue. He agreed that many questions still needed to be answered, and said that in the end, “If the benefits outweighed the risks, I’d get on board.”

Hinkins explained that he has served on the board of trustees at CEU for six years, and related that he believes that if people from the Wasatch front had a safer way to came to the college that enrollments would increase. He also said that in the future he would like to see CEU grow into a major “trade tech”.

Other subjects addressed during the meeting varied from funding for Highways 6 and 10, school vouchers, economic development, the new swimming pool, energy production and vocational education, to the reasons the candidates attended the event.

Note:  According to the Emery County Clerk/Auditors office, Rue Ware’s name will not appear on the November ballot for the Emery County School Board because he failed to turn in necessary paperwork by the scheduled deadline. He has petitioned to be on the ballot as a write-in candidate.

Garn Speaks of Endless Possibilities

Kathy Ockey

The Emery County Youth City Council members invited former Senator Jake Garn as guest speaker at Emery High School on Sept. 26.   Garn gave an inspiring speech to the student body about the “Endless Possibilities” the students have in their future.

Garn, who will turn 76 on Oct. 12, served as Utah State Senator from 1974-1993 and had the opportunity to be on the Discovery Space Mission April 12-19, 1983.

Garn said he was born and raised in Richfield and he always thought, “How can we trust anyone from Salt Lake City.?”  He said he will always consider himself from central Utah, Sanpete and Sevier areas.
He mentioned the endless possibilities that are ahead for the student body and said he could not possibly describe what awaits them in their future because he would never have guessed what had happened in his life when he was their age.

He served the country for many years in the Navy and when he was released from active duty he was so proud to be an American he became a member of the Air National Guard and also became involved in volunteer activities.  He eventually worked in helping others get elected to political office, but never thought he would be a politician.  When he was a member of the Air National Guard, there were problems at the airport concerning their hangars and equipment.  He went to the Salt Lake City Council about the issue and after airing his complaints without much success, a county commissioner told him if he could make better decisions, then prove it.  He told the commissioner, “Maybe I will because any damn fool can do it better than you.”  He said his mother was horrified that he had sworn in public, but he did run for and became a member of the Salt Lake City Council. From there he progressed to the county commission and then to his position as a senator. 

He served as senator for three terms and said he is a firm believer in term limits.  While serving as senator he had the opportunity to fly into space with the Discovery mission.  He described laying on his back in the space capsule for four hours because of a delay in liftoff.   He could not explain his feelings when the main engines started and they lifted off.  They made an orbit of the earth every one and a half hours at a rate of 17,300 miles per hour. He said they saw 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets with 45 minutes of daylight and 45 minutes of darkness and said he couldn’t describe how much fun it was to be weightless.

“It is hard to describe how beautiful the world is from space,” he said, recalling that he found himself wondering “are we really here?” 

Of the life-changing experience, he said he learned “we are all children of God traveling on earth together.  Differences are phony and we shouldn’t let them separate us.”   He also said it was impossible to describe the feeling of weightlessness.  He said the transition back to gravity was very traumatic and they had to prepare themselves by drinking a lot of water before reentry. 

“I still dream about it,” he said.
Garn said his father was his hero and had been a big influence in his life.  His father was also interested in airplanes and was alive when the Wright Brothers flew their first plane and he also lived to see man walk on the moon.  His father was the first Utahn to hold a pilot’s license and it was signed by Orville Wright.  He said the most important thing he learned from his father was to be honest and forthright.  “If you are honest there are no gray areas.  It makes life simple.”

He told the students there really are endless possibilities ahead for them and education is a very important part. 

“Be in school, train your brain for whatever may happen in your life.  When you think your teachers are too hard on you and you would rather be with your friends, remember the teachers are the ones who will give you what you will need in life.” 

He said he had teachers in his life that he didn’t like because they were “too hard” but those are the ones he remembers because they made him work, use his brain and learn what he needed to know in his life.  He also told them to make goals and to not place artificial limits on themselves.  “There are opportunities awaiting you.”

He commented on the problems now facing the country.

“I was an American before I was a Republican and I couldn’t be more disgusted with what is going on in Washington right now.  Both parties are trying to play too many games.  If we want to change the system we have to have term limits.”  
               
The former senator and astronaut concluded by saying, “We are all traveling on space ship earth and we ought to treat each other better.”

Garbage Wars Continue in Ferron

Josie Luke

In what was for many an unexpected turn of events, the Ferron City Garbage Wars were rekindled as Wade Williams, owner of City Sanitation again asked the Ferron City Council to reconsider their decision of awarding the city’s garbage service contract to Emery County Sanitation.

Williams explained he had elected to approach the council again after being contacted by concerned citizens. He held that he still thinks the bid process “wasn’t handled properly”, so he said he came “due to the letters, phone calls and people that have gone out of their way to personally come talk to me-- I’d say in the range of about 50-60 people—urging me to fight the issue. What they tell me is that they want our service back.”

The city had originally awarded the bid to City Sanitation in July, but their attorney advised them that legally, the garbage service bid must be awarded to the lowest bidder. At a special meeting held on Aug. 7 to address the matter, the council finally awarded the bid to Emery County Sanitation after a great deal of discussion.

At the Sept. 25 meeting Williams said there were several issues that he believed were grounds for the council to reconsider the bid award. First, he said, he didn’t believe the bid was handled properly. Second, he still believes City Sanitation offered the lowest bid, and third, he said, “There’s also an argument to be made whether the bid was given to a responsible bidder, due to the fact that up until today, people didn’t have garbage cans.”

Mayor Conover explaining that according to the city’s legal counsel, “Everything has been done legally, and this is the way the city is standing on this.”

Williams stated, “My legal counsel is telling me different, that the city did not follow their own bid policy, and that I can sue the city and win and force the city to rebid. I hate to involve attorneys. That is why I’m here asking for this, trying not to involve attorneys in the matter.”

Mayor Conover explained that according to the city’s legal counsel, “Everything has been done legally,” and this is the way the city is standing on this.”

Williams stated, “My legal counsel is telling me different, that the city did not follow their own bid policy, and that I can sue the city and win and force the city to rebid. I hate to involve attorneys. That is why I’m here asking for this, trying not to involve attorneys in the matter.”

The Mayor discussed that the frustration Williams was hearing stems from the fact that Emery County Sanitation had not been able to order garbage cans until they were legally awarded the contract, so the company they order the cans from could not manufacture enough cans in time for the company to place cans as they were removed by City Sanitation. “As far as Emery County Sanitation’s issue with the garbage cans and that, it was by far the city’s fault, not theirs,” Conover explained.

To the treat of lawsuit, Councilmember Trent Jackson responded, “If it has to come to that, it’ll come to that. You’ll do what you have to do. As far as the service, I think Emery County Sanitation has done a fine job. They had all the cans out by the 15th as they said they would. My opinion is that the city has done what we need to do, and we’re going to move on.”

He also pointed out that in his view City Sanitation had submitted two bids, so it should have been thrown out initially, and he concluded, “This process is pretty much over. We’ve wasted enough of the city’s time.”

As of the Sept. 29, Willaims had not decided on his next step in the battle.  He reported that he is still talking with his legal counsel and deciding what they would like to do.

Fairground Issue Tensions
Explode in Ferron

Josie Luke

An agenda item that the Ferron City Council probably supposed would be a relatively simple one to get through, turned out to draw more animated reaction from the crowd than any other during the city council meeting held Sept. 25.

That item was a public meeting scheduled to receive citizens’ input on the proposal to seek funding from the Permanent Community Impact Fund Board to make improvements to the Ferron City Fairgrounds. The grant request would include improvements to the show ring, landscaping, bleachers, horse stalls, fencing, storage and restrooms.

Lane Justice was the first citizen to address the council. He proposed that before approving the request, the city should organize the fairgrounds committee they had revealed plans for earlier in the year. The council had opted to hold of on organizing the committee until after the Peach Days celebration. Justice stated that he believed that with such a committee, they could clean up the venue and develop a better plan to deliver to the CIB Board.

Tammy Bennett agreed, expressing “As a taxpayer, I’d like to see a plan.”

Councilmember Joe Trenery commented that if the city waited much longer, they would have to wait longer for the funding. “If we put this off, we’re going to miss the funding cycle,” he explained.

Several citizens expressed some hesitation about getting more horse stalls, when in their view, the ones already at the grounds weren’t being paid for or controlled well. Both Councilmember Ronny Bloomer and Trenery, who are in charge of the venue, disputed this, pointing to the fact that all of the accounts were paid in full and how much things had improved in the past year.

Bloomer explained that it takes a lot of time to take care of the fairgrounds. “It’s a lot of work down there. It’s a heck of a job to keep up with. Even to maintain what we’ve got down there is a lot of work,” he said. “If I’m out of here in four years and it still ain’t done, it’s just going to take work and that’s all there is to it. It’s not going to happen overnight.”

Emily Nielson proposed that the fairgrounds committee ought to get started as soon as possible and suggested that the first meeting could be held in two weeks. Bloomer was hesitant to put a time frame on the first meeting and took the opportunity to release some frustration that had evidently been brewing for some time.

He said, “Would you like to take over the committee? This is something that’s been on my mind for a while. I hope the whole town hears about it. I did city council to help benefit the city; cause if I didn’t do it, who else would? I’m here for the city. OK. I’m willing to do whatever it takes for the city, and I pledge that in front of all of you.

I’m sick of getting badgered about not getting things done, not having stuff ready. It’s getting real old. OK? I’m not into politics. I’m not a politician. I’m in here to try to help people out. First of all, my family is number one. Second of all, my other job is two. This place comes in third. If there’s a problem with that, let’s talk about it.

“Two weeks would be great, Emily. I’m not retired. I don’t have all of the time in the world. When it gets taken care of, it’ll come. I’m tired of the push. I’m tired of the want. That’s it. It’s something that is in the works. I pledge that to you too. It’s an upsetting job and it’s getting worse everyday.”

Mayor Gil Conover concluded the hearing saying the committee will be a benefit to the project and concurred that the city needs to “go in being organized” to the CIB in order for them to look at it seriously. There was no time set for the development of the committee during the meeting.

Jiggs Gigliotti

PRICE- Franklin W. “Jiggs” Gigliotti, age 94, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2008 in Price.
He was born August 14, 1914 in Hiawatha to Felice and Maria Concetta Perri-Gigliotti from Decalaturo, Calabria, Italy.
He was married in Las Vegas to Inez Thomas of Clear Creek who died in 2003.  Her family was from Magers, Greece.
Jiggs was best known for operating the Center Texaco Service on Carbon and Main in Price with his Brother-in-law, Bill Thomas.  Before that he had worked as a bartender and truck driver in San Francisco and Los Angeles.  From there, he returned to Carbon County working as a coal miner and later drove truck for Texaco.  He then operated the Texaco Bulk Plant and was the Baroid distributor for the drilling fields.  As a teenager, he played an “Italian Waiter” in the movie “Night Flyer”.  Although he liked hunting, Frank’s greatest love was fishing.  Whenever he had the opportunity, he would spend time at the local fishing spots.  In addition to fishing the local lakes and streams, he enjoyed deep sea fishing off the coast of Washington and in the Gulf of Mexico.  When not fishing or working, Frank would hang out in the local clubs and coffee shops.  In addition to English, he spoke Italian, Spanish, and some Greek, and so he always had friends to visit with.  For many years Frank was active in the Notre Dame Catholic parish, volunteering his time to put in the floors for Notre Dame High School, working  the Catholic Carnival and he always maintained the parish vehicles.

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.

Portrait Express Captures
the Smiles of a Lifetime

James L. Davis

Finding a way to get a child to smile is not always the most difficult thing.  Sometimes it’s getting the child to smile and hold still long enough to capture that smile in a photograph that is the real challenge.

Elmo native Ashley Downard is up for the challenge, which is probably a good thing, since it’s her business to not only get children to smile, but to photograph those smiles.  The manager of Portrait Express in Price, Downard admitted that capturing just the right photograph of a young, energetic subject is sometimes a challenge that takes a good deal of imagination (and patience) to accomplish.  But as technology has developed over the years, the opportunity to let customers know immediately if you have just the perfect picture is far easier than it ever was and that fact is one of the greatest benefits Portrait Express offers -- you see your pictures immediately and can walk out the door with them in your hand the same day they are taken.

“We saw a need in the area,” said Marie Bowles, owner of Portrait Express.  “There have only been three choices: big box stores that are cheap, but not very creative; full service studios with great quality, but ones that families can only afford once every couple of years.  The third choice has been to spend the time and gas going to Provo to a mall store.  We saw a need for a good quality children and family studio that is fast, affordable, fun and creative.”

Marie and her husband David, owners of Bryner Photography, envisioned Portrait Express as another service for customers of Emery and Carbon Counties.  Whereas Bryner Photography would be more suited for high quality family portraits that may only be taken every year or two, Portrait Express is more suited for young families who want good quality portraits that show the many changing stages of a young child’s life.

“Portrait Express is more for the mom who may want a picture of their child’s new outfit or may want to get a picture every six months,” Marie said.

According to Marie, Portrait Express offers a variety of packages suited for almost any budget and with their Tiny Tracks program they have packages available to help you track your baby’s growth, starting with birth announcements and growing with your baby through the years.

Portrait Express also produces passport photographs as well as portraits for the entire family.  They also offer scrapbook pages, complete with digital art to help you make the perfect scrapbook page. Other services include Christmas cards and Christmas ornaments.

According to David one of the greatest benefits to Portrait Express is the fact that immediately after the portrait sitting you have the opportunity to see the photographs and can have the prints in your hand by the end of the day for sizes up to 11 inch by 14 inch or smaller.

Since opening last week Marie said the response by the community has been great, although she admits that opening a new business is no easier the second time around.

“I don’t know if I would call it stress as much as terror and complete insanity,” she said.

Portrait Express is located at 264 South Carbon Avenue in Price and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Walk in customers are welcome but appointments take priority.  For more information on Portrait Express call 637-7499.

Castleview Plans for Annual Health Fair

Castleview Hospital will host is 5th Annual Health Fair Oct. 21 to give residents of Emery and Carbon Counties the opportunity for a number of critical screenings that will help maintain a healthy way of life.

Presented by the Community Health Awareness Team of Castleview Hospital, Community Nursing Services and the Southeastern Utah District Health Department, the Health Fair will offer a number of screenings that will be free to the public or offered at very low prices.

With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Health Fair will offer breast exams from 10 a.m. to noon on Oct. 21.  Also offered will be skin cancer screenings from 3-5 p.m. There will be an opportunity for free blood sugar checks, blood pressure checks, body fat analysis and lymphedema screens.  Booths will be open offering health information as well.  The free screening booths will be open from 7:30 – 10:30 a.m. and again from 3 – 5 p.m.

Also available during the Health Fair will be a cholesterol and diabetes screening from 7:30 – 10:30 a.m.  The cost for this screening is $15 and you will need to fast 12 hours before the screening.

Flu shots will be available as well from 7:30 – 10:30 a.m. and 3 – 5 p.m. The shots will cost $25.
In its fifth year, the health fair has continued to grow each year and organizers hope to provide screenings for even more Castle Valley residents this year.

“We usually screen between 175 and 225 patients, which is really good for a screening,” said Pam Konakis, diabetes educator for Castleview Hospital.

With the highest population of tobacco users in the state residing in the two-county area, events such as the health fair offer a critical resource for residents.  The two county area also has a diabetes rate of 8 percent for the population, whereas the rest of the state’s diabetes rate sits at 6 percent of the population.

Events such as the health fair have become more popular over the years and more utilized as the population as a whole have begun to realize the importance of early detection of a variety of health conditions, from cancer, to heart disease and diabetes.

Even with the benefits of a health screening, Konakis said it is important for those patients identified as at risk to take the next step in their own health care.

“A screening is never a diagnosis.  Patients should follow-up the screenings with a talk to their physician,” she said.

During the Oct. 21 health fair, a luncheon will be held from 11:30 – 1 p.m. and featured speaker will be Dr. Anna Beck.  Beck is a graduate from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where she graduated with her Doctor of Medicine.  She completed her residency in internal medicine at the University of Utah.  She then completed a combined fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology as well as Geriatric Internal Medicine in 1993.  Her professional experience since 1993 has been with the Utah Cancer Specialists with community clinical practice in the fields of Medical Oncology and Hematology.  She has been the hospice medical director since 2005 with Community Nursing Services in the Salt Lake City and Provo areas and has been supportive of hospice programs with CNS state-wide.

Dr. Beck has active staff memberships with Salt Lake Regional Medical Center, LDS Hospital, and Castleview Hospital.  She has presented at the Geriatric Society of America in San Francisco and has published several articles and studies since 1987.  She will present to physicians, PAs, FNPs and nursing staff at the Health Fair.  The cost for the lunch will be $7.  RSVP by Oct. 14 to Linda Beal at 613-8887 or 381-2044.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older and breast cancer deaths have declined.

This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals.
Women age 65 and older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women, even though breast cancer risk increases with age.

Hispanic women have fewer mammograms than Caucasian women and African American women.
Women below poverty level are less likely than women at high incomes to have had a mammogram within the past two years.

Mammography use has increased for all groups except American Indians and Alaska Natives.
If all women age 40 and older took advantage of early detection methods – mammography plus clinical breast exam – breast cancer death rates would drop much further, up to 30 percent.
The key to mammography screening is that it be done routinely – once is not enough.

Spartans Rout Dinos to Keep the Coal Bucket in Emery

Josie Luke

As expected, the coal bucket will stay at Emery High.

The Emery football team came into their rivalry game Friday night against the Carbon Dinos as the huge favorite to win, so when the Spartans scored their first seven points within the first minute of the game, their confidence was sky high. The Dinos dampened it somewhat, also scoring on their first drive, but Emery took control from that point, crushing their rival 41-7.

The Spartans blazed their way into the end zone on their first possession, culminated by a 69-yard touchdown run by Running Back Colby Snow. After such an exhilarating possession, the Emery defense faltered, being called off-sides several times and making silly mistakes to allow Carbon to tie.
Emery’s offense, again buoyed by a huge play quickly rectified the situation, scoring another touchdown on the following possession. After a 40-yard pass completion from Gatlan Huntington to Cameron Hansen, Chance Ariotti ran four yards for the touchdown.

Emery then went on to bury the Dinos with touchdowns by Ariotti, 4-yard run; Tanner Procarione, 43-yard reception; Hansen, 28-yard reception; and Dalton Judd, 21-yard run.  

The Spartan running game came alive in the game. They finished with a total of 293 yards rushing. Snow led the team with 117 yards, Ariotti rushed for 81, and despite having touchdown runs of 30 and 65 yards negated by holding calls, JT Noyes had a total of 81.

In the Spartans loss against Uintah, Coach Jones expressed frustration at the lack of execution on offense. He was much more satisfied this week with the way his team’s offense played, though still pushing for improvement. “I thought our execution was better than it has been,” he said. “We still have times when our timing and blocking need some work, but we did pretty well.”

Much of the improvement can be attributed to the Emery Quarterback, Huntington. Jones explained that he holds much of the responsibility for the “timing and execution of our offense.” Huntington went 6-for-10 in the game for a total of 151 yards and two touchdown passes.

Jones also praised the offensive line, Drew Bohn, Kameron Stilson, Sheridan Oviatt, Josey Johnson and Greg Howes. “I thought those guys really played well in the game,” he said. On Defense, the coach pointed to Nick Stoddard, who he said “had a really good game,” along with Arriotti and Derrick Allred.

This week the Spartans face an undefeated Juan Diego team who the the Deseret News ranks as the number one 3A team in the state. Jones reported the team is deserving of the ranking. They score an average of 38 points a game and have only allowed their opponents to score an average of 4 points a game.

He said there is “no question” the team will be ready to play. He hopes the success the Spartans have had in the past in beating such teams at home will continue.

The game against Juan Diego will be at on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m.

Golf team competes in final season meet

Casey Wood

Emery traveled to Carbon Country Club to compete with the other Region 8 teams in the final seasonal golf tournament of the year on Sept. 25.  After all the golfers had returned to the club house there was an awards ceremony and a dinner. 

After the scores were tallied, Emery ended up in fifth place.  The school rankings and scores were: Carbon in first, shooting 310; Juan Diego in second, with a 315; shooting a 334 was Delta in third; in fourth place was Salem Hills, shooting a 340; Emery shot 347, taking fifth place; and in last place was North Sanpete with a 368. 

Emery’s top four were: junior Mark Guymon, who shot a 78; senior Jason Giles, with a 79; sophomore Andrew Terry with a 92; and senior Tayler Tanner, shooting a 98.  Mark Guymon and Jason Giles total season scores were low enough to place them in the region’s top 10, qualifying them for the state golf tournament at Soldier Hollow Golf Course on Oct. 8-9.

On a side note the Emery Golf team had five out of the 10 3A Academic All-State Golfers on their team this year.  Those golfers were Jason Giles, Tayler Tanner, Addison Collard, Justin Cox, and Casey Wood.

Tennis team plays well against
N. Sanpete, Salem Hills

Rebecca Lofley

This past week the Emery High tennis team faced North Sanpete on Sept. 23 at home and Salem Hills on the Sept. 25 at Salem Hills. 

At both matches the first and second doubles teams won.  As a result Adriane Weihing and Melanie Frisbee are now tied for second place in region for first doubles with North Sanpete.  Kaitlin Potter and Courtney Sitterud are undefeated and are first in region for second doubles.  At region tennis on Oct. 3 at Snow College, the two teams, first and second doubles, will compete for their official placing along with the varsity singles. 

All three singles players: Whitney Saupan, first singles; Stevie Feuers, second singles; and Katie Turner, third singles, played very well at their matches last week.  Whitney had close losses in both matches, and Katie fought hard according to Coach Hansen. 

With only one more region match against Juan Diego left on Sept. 30, along with region and state tennis tournaments, the high school tennis season has nearly concluded.

Against arch rival Carbon the Dinos swept the varsity team in three, 25-18, 25-15, 25-22 in a frustrating series of games.

“It was disappointing.  They didn’t play like they should have,” said varsity coach Kris Bell.
The junior varsity team was able to defeat Carbon in five games.  Carbon took the first game 25-10 and Emery won the next two, 25-17 and 15-11.  Carbon fought back in the fourth to win 15-11 and the Spartans clinched the fifth game 17-15.

Dutch Oven Cook-Off

Josie Luke

The upper parking lot of Canyon View Junior High was transformed into an exhibition for Dutch oven cooking on Sept. 23 as students competed in the annual Dutch oven cook-off.

Students prepare a wide variety of foods, from the classic Dutch oven chicken and potatoes, to more exotic Hawaiian and Oriental foods. They plan for the event for weeks, hoping their recipes and presentations will win over the judges.

After several years organizers have developed a system for the cook off. Students each set up their stands in one of the parking spots left open for the event. After being given time to prepare the food, they then serve the judges before selling it to the public in order to recoup some of the costs involved. As the event has grown, it has proven to be a student favorite: 47 participated this year.

The scene, along with the weather was brisk that morning with as students began their preparations -- lighting charcoal briquettes, setting up tables and canopies, searching for duct tape to hang signs, and even calling home for forgotten ingredients.

During the judging, the weather warmed up considerably, but the chefs-in-training continued their lively work throughout both lunch hours, as many of their fellow students, members of the faculty and parents sampled their dishes.

Home Economics Teacher Donn Jeffs was delighted with the students efforts this year. She said “every participant wins for doing this,” and revealed that John Gilbert, who has judged the competition in almost every year, said that it had been “the most competitive and overall the best year” that he had judged.

The Judges’ Choice winners were Savahna Hall and Shelby Allred; the Best All-around Meal winner was Brandon Tucker; Best Main Dish winners were AJ Borba, JaeCee Ewell, Jessica Guymon, Jeremiah Luke, Colton Jensen, Brooke Fisher, Kittyara Barnes, Myrka Lerma, Auminee Bennett, Josh Justice, Jaden Gordon, Jaiden Huntington and Robbyn Brown; and Best Dessert winners were Shawnee Westenskow, Madison Hendrickson, Ky Jensen and Taylor Weihing. 

San Rafael Junior High will get their turn this week, as students compete on Oct. 2, from 8:30- 11:30 a.m.

-Dazed-

Strange Beds

James L. Davis

I have come to the conclusion that my life would be infinitely better if I did not have to ever sleep in any bed other than my own. 

I realized that my life would be better if I slept only in my own bed because this past weekend I slept in someone else’s bed and it was nowhere near as satisfying. That could have something to do with the fact that it wasn’t entirely a bed, either.  It was, in fact, an inflatable mattress, which means it is a cross between a bed and a torture device.

My family went to visit our son and his family and when it came to sleeping arrangements, my wife and I were resolute in our declaration that we would not, under any circumstances, allow our son and his wife give up their bed to us for the night, as they had planned on doing.  We were determined not to take their bed because, basically, we are stupid.

But because we are not only stupid but also the elders, we got our way and slept on an air mattress.  Air mattresses are far more dangerous to your good health than even a hotel mattress because air mattresses lull you into believing that they are comfortable, and air mattresses never have been and probably never will be comfortable.  But I was under the impression that my body in some way still had some elasticity to it, so I was sure that I could adjust to sleeping on pretty much anything.  After all, sleeping is a hobby of mine.  I am rather good at sleeping and have been known to do it at the drop of a hat.

Surrendering to our demand to be uncomfortable, our son and his wife set up an air mattress in the spare bedroom and wrestled a pair of sheets onto it.  Our two younger children took air mattresses into the living room and we all said our goodnights and went off to our inflatable beds with nary a care in the world. 

We were doomed, of course.

After carefully climbing onto the mattress I stretched out with my wife beside me and felt the click, click, click of my back conforming to the roller coaster curves in the mattress (apparently some of the air in an air mattress is denser than other air in the mattress).  After waiting to see if all of the disks would click safely into place, I turned my head to look at my beautiful wife and said, “well, this isn’t too bad,” to which my wife said “hmm hmph hmm hmm,” because I outweigh my wife by 100 pounds and the fact that I was laying beside her caused a huge valley in the air mattress that she had fallen into, resulting in her face becoming imbedded in my armpit.

After climbing out of the mattress valley and using my chest as a pillow she agreed that the mattress was not too uncomfortable and that we might actually survive the night. But, of course, the night was young.

As I said before, sleeping is a hobby of mine, so I nodded off without too much trouble at all.  But the problem with my ability to sleep is my equally powerful ability to wake up.  I can sleep soundly through anything for about half an hour and then my eyes open and will not close again until I find something to stress about.  Laying on an air mattress with my wife smashed against might right side the subject I came up with to stress about was the fact that I needed to use the restroom.  The reason that I stressed about that was because I was not entirely sure I could get up off the air mattress without waking my wife, or even worse, creating an air current within the air mattress that would fling her across the room.

Not wanting to wake my wife or cause her bodily harm, I slowly started to reposition my body in an attempt to slide off of the air mattress.  I started with my left foot and worked my way up from there until I had the entire left side of my body off of the mattress and then I slowly worked my right side off of the mattress and was able to do so without creating a dangerous air wave.

Upon returning from the restroom things did not go quite as planned.  That is because some idiot had left his sneakers in the middle of the floor.  I was that idiot.  I tripped over the sneakers and while I did not fall to the floor, I did lose enough of my balance that I came crashing to my knees on the corner of the air mattress.  It was somewhat interesting to watch the air mattress adjust to the sudden pressure of my body on its inflated surface and how my body displaced the air within the mattress.  It was even more interesting to see how the air within the mattress swelled toward my wife and how her body followed the curvature of the mattress perfectly as it swelled and then threw her off the side and onto the floor.  I was able to lie back down on the mattress just before she realized that she was now on the floor.  She climbed back onto the air mattress.

“What happened?” I asked as innocently as I could.

“Hmm hmph hmm,” she said as her face pressed into my underarm.

At some point we went back to sleep and when morning dawned we were able to climb out of bed with the assistance of our children.  They had slept much better than we had. Their air mattresses had deflated during the course of the night.

Have you ever wondered where the term pack rat came from?  I believe that Templeton the Rat in Charlotte’s Web is the model of what a pack rat is.  The image of him in his hole, surrounded by junk and covered in the slime of a rotted egg has always made me fear such a fate, and because of this I vowed to myself as a child that that I would never become like him.  As I cleaned out my bedroom over the weekend I learned that I indeed had become just that, a pack rat.  Not just your average everyday pack rat though, I am such a pack rat that by the time I was through taking out the garbage bags and boxes, I had more than filled up one of our two outside city garbage cans.  There were many items, such as posters, old toys and the remains of a broken guitar, but the most disturbing fact about the whole ordeal was that the majority of the garbage I took out was school papers and old clothes.

I found countless papers from my years as a sophomore and junior at Emery High, and many more papers from my junior high school years at San Rafael, but the strangest of all were the papers I discovered in my room dating back to my years at Cottonwood Elementary.  I found multiple notebooks, some sub-par assignments, and even a letter from my fifth grade teacher, Stephanie Roper, introducing herself at the beginning of the new school year.  Now this may not seem very strange to some, but in my case it proved that I am truly a pack rat.  It is not too unusual for papers to get lost or set aside and never rediscovered or disposed of when you live in your room from birth to age 18, but the fact of the matter is that I have not.  I moved into my bedroom only three years ago, meaning when I changed rooms, I brought and stashed away those already extremely outdated papers when I made the change.  As I got rid of a lot of them, I found that I was still unable to dispose of a few of the papers I found, and so I set them aside to undoubtedly be rediscovered and destroyed at a later date.

I have two dressers and a huge closet in my bedroom, all of which were extremely full of clothing.  I outgrew a majority of that clothing more than a year ago.  As I cleaned out my dressers I discovered clothes from as far back as seventh grade and Halloween costumes from further back than that.  I also found shirts that I haven’t worn since junior high, some of which I kept because I can still wear them.  I even found a scout uniform that I wore in the days of Cub Scouts.  I probably spent two hours going through old clothing and forcing myself to throw out clothes that, prior to that day, I had forgotten I owned, but now that I knew still existed, I could not bring myself to get rid of.

Looking back on the experience I realize that I am certainly no better than Templeton.  In fact I am not sure I can even be considered a pack rat, for a rat only has a small hole to hide things away in.  I have more of a lair.

Delicious Recipes Straight from the Ranch

Kathy Ockey

Shelia Lemon is a remarkable woman.  She is as comfortable cooking a meal, bottling peaches and tomatoes, or crocheting as she is herding cows and baling and hauling hay. 

Sheila was born in Provo and lived in Mapleton until she was 4.  She was raised in a family of seven children and horses are her passion.

She is married to Ferron native John Lemon, and she said she not only loves him but loves his horses.  They have two children, six grandchildren, and she has one step-son.

Sheila said, “My life is the farm.  I love to farm with John, but I also love to crochet to relax, especially when I travel.  I like to can and cook, but I don’t like to clean.”  She said John is very good to her and helps her a lot, but he also gives her time to do what she needs to do.

She is a primary teacher for the 5 and 6 year olds and also over funeral luncheons in her ward, which can be a very interesting job. 

She said they live a very normal life: they “work on the farm, visit John’s son, go to church and work on the farm.”

Family is very important to John and Sheila. She said their grandchildren absolutely adore John and he makes time to spend with each one.

Shelia concluded by saying, “John and I not only love each other, we ‘like’ each other. We also have his and her tractors!”

Following are some of Sheila’s favorite recipes:

Spaghetti Casserole

1 26.5 ounce can Hunts Traditional Spaghetti Sauce
1 pound hamburger
6-8  ounces uncooked spaghetti (I prefer angel hair)
Cook hamburger, crumbled, season with garlic salt, pepper to taste,  and add spaghetti sauce.  Simmer while preparing the following:
Cook spaghetti according to package directions, rinse when done.
Pour half of the sauce mix in a 9 inch by 13 inch pan and top with cooked spaghetti.
Make the following white sauce to pour over spaghetti:
White Sauce:
1 square butter or margarine
1/2 cup flour
2 cups milk
Melt butter, stir in flour until smooth.  Add milk and cook over medium heat until thick and smooth
Grate two cups shredded cheese (I mix mozzarella and Colby) and sprinkle over white sauce.  Top with remaining sauce.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Let stand a few minutes before serving.   Serve with garlic toast and tossed salad.

Mac’s Louisiana Shrimp
“John’s favorite”

1 pound large raw shrimp, deveined and rinsed
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 large red onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup or 1 stick butter (no substitutes)
1 pint sour cream
1 ounce cooking sherry
Cajun seasoning to desired taste
Sauté mushrooms and onions in butter until tender.  Coat shrimp with flour, add to veggies and cook until pink.  Stir in sour cream, sherry and Cajun seasoning until thickened and smooth.  Serve over hot rice.

Clam Chowder for a Crowd

5 cans clams (6.5 oz.) chopped*
1 large onion
4 cups chopped celery
8 cups cubed potatoes
White sauce:
Melt 1 cup butter and add 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Drain clams, reserving juice.  Set clams aside.  Put veggies in stock pot and cover with juice from clams, add enough water to cover.  Cook until tender.  Gradually stir in white sauce over medium heat and stir until thick and smooth.  Add clams and heat until clams are hot.
* 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled or ham cut into small cubes can be added with clams for a variation.

Corn Bread Deluxe
“If you can find blue corn meal, it is awesome to use”

Add ingredients in order given, mix well after each addition
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2/3 cup sugar or brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk or milk soured with 1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup corn meal
1 1/4 cups flour
Mix for a few minutes and pour into greased 11 inch by 7 inch pan.  Bake at 375 degrees oven for about 30 minutes.  Recipe can be cut in half and baked in bread tin for two people.

Student Enjoys Adventure of Children of the Lamp Series

Kathy Ockey

People are always hearing bad things about the youth in the world today but teenagers like Corbin Barnett will revive your hope in the upcoming generation.

Corbin is the son of Bodie and Julie Barnett and said, “School is one of the best things a kid can do.  School is very important to me.” 

Corbin attends San Rafael Junior High School and is  a member of FCCLA, and was on the basketball and football teams last year, but he said he is going to focus on basketball as his sport of choice.

Corbin wants to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist in his future.  His parents took him to Sea World so he could see the marine life, and he was especially fascinated with the dolphins.  Corbin said his siblings have been good examples for him. He has a brother at Duke University that is going to be a physician’s assistant.

Corbin said he not only likes to read, he likes to read a lot.  He just finished reading the third book in the Children of the Lamp series by P.B. Kerr, “The Cobra King of Kathmandu.”  He said these books are part of the accelerated reading books at San Rafael Junior High and he wrote the 20 questions for the accelerated reading tests on the first and second book in this series.  This is the first time a student has written the questions for the tests in this program.

The Children of the Lamp series tells the story of twin djinn, or genies, John and Philippa Gaunt, and their challenges with adapting to the world of djinn. The two children live in New York with their wealthy father and their mother who owns a banking business, and each book in the series puts them into fantastic situations that keep the pages turning.

In “The Cobra King of Kathmandu,” midnight intruders and murder by snakebite sweep John and Philippa into their third fantastic adventure. Can they uncover the venomous secrets of an evil Snake Cult to find the long-lost talisman of the Cobra King?

Corbin said, “There are sad parts, intense parts, and a mix of everything.  These are really good books.”

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.

James L. Davis
Publisher / Editor

James Davis has spent most of his adult career in love with the idea of being able to tell the stories of everyday people who continually do extraordinary things.  There is an abundance of such people in the San Rafael Swell area.

Together with his wife, Colleen, the two started The Emery County Review in January of 2007 because of their love for the people and places of Emery and Carbon counties.

They are proud of their small town newspaper and spend countless hours debating how they can best spread the good news of the area.

With a dedicated staff and teenage children that they can still beg to cover school news (for a price), their hope is that The Emery County Review will be recognized for living up to its motto:

You’re News to Us!

Colleen A. Davis

Co-Publisher / Advertising Manager

 

A native of Emery County, Colleen has a great love for the people of the San Rafael Swell and Castle Valley area and hopes she has instilled those same feelings in her children.

The part of her job she loves the most is being able to work side by side with her husband. She enjoys getting to know people more and find out what hidden talents and passions they have, and reminiscing about the people and the county.

When The Emery County Review was started it was a new adventure for her and has proven to bring great joy to her life. An animal lover, she has been a veterinarian technician for approximately nine years and continues to work part-time as a veterinarian technician, more as a hobby and a driving passion today than a job.

Colleen loves spending time with her family, whether just in the backyard or hiking, riding 4-wheelers, playing on the boat or on a family drive.

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