Skate Park Proves an
Extreme Hit with Kids

Since the Huntington skate park was completed last week, the site has been teeming with youth who are quite excited to have a new place to “play”. The UEA weekend contributed to the numbers, which at times swelled to well over 50.

The kids arrived on bicycles, skateboards, scooters and more as they tried out the new facilities, jumping, racing and often crashing to prove their “skill.”

Huntington Councilmember Kathy Cowley was pleased with the number of children she saw playing the first day saying, “I think it’s really going to be a great thing.” The children agreed, racing around the park with smiles and looks of determination.

Saturday was no exception. Many of the children at the park could be heard to say things like, “This rocks!” as they skated by. Robie Baker was having a great time. He was pleased the crowd wasn’t quite as big as it had been the day before. “It was so crowded you couldn’t even skate. We just had to do it the same way,” he said pointing in a circular direction around the pieces of equipment.

Oscar Flores was also pleased to have a new place to ride. He brought his bicycle to the park and was careful as he tried to not run into the others skating around. “This thing is cool,” he said as he stopped to take a look at a picture of himself jumping through the air.

Though the park was clearly crowded, the kids did an admirable job of working together to not get hurt as they sped by.

Teaching Lessons

C. Josie Luke

For the first time in 25 years, Emery High teacher Neal Peacock does not have a member of his family in one of his classes. Since 1983, when Peacock began teaching at the high school, he has had either a sibling or one of his children in class every year, beginning with his brother Dane and ending with daughter Dory last year.

For Peacock, while teaching family has been a highlight, it has also been a balancing act. “Sometimes it was fun, sometimes it was frustrating,” he explained. “It’s difficult because you need to be fair with them and all of the other students, yet while everyone calls you ‘Neal’ or ‘Mr. Peacock,’ they’re calling you ‘Dad,’ You have to be fair, yet sometimes they look at you like, ‘You’re my dad. You ought to be giving me a break here,’ but you can’t.”

Yet Peacock found a way to balance, if not perfectly, the best he possibly could. Part of his success may come from the fact that he, himself, was taught by his father, who began teaching at Emery High the first year it opened, 45 years ago. When Peacock started high school in 1973, he was the first in what became a long line of Peacocks who were taught by family. The two even had the opportunity to teach together for eight years until his father retired in 1990.

Since Neal began, he has taught six of his siblings and his five children: Dane, Joye, Ryan, Kale, Cody, Mari, Cammie, Jayna, Bethany, Brandt and Dory.

The two Mr. Peacocks have taught strikingly different subjects. Neal’s father taught geology, physics, chemistry and Spanish, while Neal has taught AP American History, AP European History, sociology, speech and debate, drama and American Problems. Their approach to teaching family is also different. Neal quipped, “I’m a little nicer than my dad was,” but added, “Dad was the best teacher I ever had, among a whole bunch of good teachers.”

He revealed that when he took his first class from his father, if he wanted help, he had to go to the high school early in the morning with the other students. “He would not help me at home, because the other kids couldn’t get help at home,” Neal reported. “I was the first one he had. He made a few mistakes with me, after that he did great.”

He also revealed his biggest mistake in dealing with his father as his teacher. “I told him, ‘All I want is the grade I earn.’ Unfortunately that’s what he gave me.”

When his oldest daughter, Cammie, began high school he found himself facing what his father had years before, so they sat down and made rules. “One of the rules was I wouldn’t talk to her when she was talking to her friends,” he said. “Another was that I could borrow money from her, but she couldn’t borrow money from me.”

Possibly the most important of the rules was the last, which Neal revealed was, “If anything embarrassing happened to her at school, I wouldn’t tell mom and if anything embarrassing happened to me, she wouldn’t tell mom.”    

Like his father, Neal has pressed his children to work hard, while being careful not to push them too much-- though his kids sometimes thought he did. One of his proudest academic moments happened last year when Dory scored a 5 on the AP European History test. “Only 11 percent of students who take that test are able to get that score,” he said proudly.

Some of his favorite memories of teaching also come from plays he was able to do with his siblings and children. “I had a blast with Little Shop of Horrors,” he said. His brother and sister, Cody and Cammie, were in the musical, along with his then small children, Brandt and Dory. He also loved directing Dory in “See How They Run,” which he said was “Maybe the funnest play I’ve ever done.”
Neal also enjoyed doing “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” with Jayna, “The Fantastics” with Bethany and Brandt, “Cinderella” with Cammie, and “Damn Yankees,” which he acted in with his son Brandt. “They needed an old guy,” he joked.

This type of humor and understanding are hallmarks of what make Peacock a favorite of so any students at the high school. He is also known and respected for pushing students as well as his children to do well in all of the classes he teaches, just like his dad.

Candidates Gather in Ferron

James L. Davis

With two weeks to go before the general election, the candidates for local and state offices are, just like the presidential candidates, continuing a vigorous campaign for office.  Unlike the presidential campaigns, the local politicians appear to be running, for the most part, a civil and, at times, complimentary campaign.

Such was the case when Ferron Unit 42 of the American Legion Auxiliary held a meet the candidate night at the Ferron City Hall on Oct. 15.  David Hinkins and Brad King, state senate District 27 candidates joined with local school board candidates Sam Singleton and Janeal Dugmore and county commission candidates Laurie Pitchforth, Drew Sitterud and write-in candidate Steve Kempel, to field written questions from the audience.

Most of the questions were aimed at the senate and commission candidates, but questions about school vouchers and the No Child Left Behind initiative were asked of the school board candidates.
Both Singleton and Dugmore said they were against school vouchers and Singleton said he was against No Child Left Behind.  Dugmore said while she believes the initiative may have benefited children who are struggling in school, she believed it held back children who excelled, so in that regard she was against it.

Both Hinkins and King spoke of the need for improvements to SR-10 and SR-6 and said they were in favor of multiple uses of public lands.  They spoke of the need to maintain the technical courses currently being offered at the College of Eastern Utah and of their concern over what a merger with Utah State University might do to the college.

For the commission seat, this was the first time Steve Kempel addressed an audience of voters since he threw his hat into the ring as a write-in candidate.  Kempel, of Ferron, said he decided to run as a write-in candidate after learning of Sitterud’s legal troubles.

“I believe that I can be of assistance to the county,” Kempel said.  “I believe in volunteerism.  That’s what makes our community go.” Kempel also spoke of his nine years of service on the Emery County Risk Management Board and his years as a county employee.

In speaking of his determination to run for a third term as commissioner, Sitterud briefly addressed his legal troubles, where he apologized to voters and asked anyone who had any questions to call him.  He said that he was running again because he felt it was important for the county to retain some of the seats he now holds on boards that benefit the county, particularly the Permanent Community Impact Board, which provides funds for many of the projects of the county and cities.

Pitchforth spoke of her love of the county and told a humorous story of how a drive through the desert to clear her mind became a walk through the desert when she stopped and then discovered her car wouldn’t start.

She stressed to the audience that while Sitterud may belong to several boards that are of great value to the county, in her investigation she has found that the fact that someone else might be elected to the commission does not necessary mean that the county would have to wait years for another seat on a board.  She also spoke of her level of experience to be a commissioner.

“Do I have more experience than Mr. Sitterud?  No.  But I do have more experience than Mr. Sitterud had when he took office,” Pitchforth said.

Throughout the evening perhaps the most striking thing about the opportunity to listen to the candidates speak was to discover that many of their views about government and local issues are surprisingly similar.  When voters go into the voting booth on Nov. 4 their choice for a candidate might be less a decision about candidates with vastly different agendas, and more a personal choice on whom the voter thinks will best represent them.

DWR Prepares Chub
Attack at Joe’s Valley

C. Josie Luke

Good news was announced regarding Joe’s Valley Reservoir at the Emery County Public Lands Council meeting held Oct. 14. DWR Wildlife Program Manager, Bill Bates, announced that tiger muskie may be available by 2010 to control the chub population in the reservoir.

The DWR conducted a live chub capture on Oct. 9 in the Seely Creek Bay near the marina, catching approximately 100,000 inch-long chubs. A total of 600,000 of these chubs were captured in three weeks and will be sent to a DWR operated fish pond in Salt Lake. The chubs will be reared in the pond as food for tiger muskies, which will be raised to be introduced into Joes Valley Reservoir.
 
A DWR press release reports, “Aquatics biologists hope that the introduction of another fish predator at Joe’s Valley will tip the balance of chub dominance in the reservoir and restore the quality of this fishery.”

Paul Birdsey, DWR regional aquatics manager said they were very excited about the project. He explained that they are looking to acquire muskies to cross with pike they recently captured from Recapture Reservoir. The fish will be spawned and crossed in the spring of 2009 to produce the tiger muskie, which is a hybrid cross. The cross is known for being a fierce predator and a great sport fish.
“We hope the addition of the tiger miskie will add to the great sport fishing aspect of Joes Valley, plus it should help in restoring the ecosystem by balancing the chub population.  Once we get the chubs undercontrol we can add more fish into the reservoir that were in it before,” said Birdsey.

The young tiger muskie will be reared in ponds in Salt Lake until they are large enough to be be placed in the reservoir. Birdsey said they would need to grow to 3-4 inches long, and speculated they should be ready by the spring of 2010. “We’re waiting on Mother Nature here,” he said.

Also discussed during the public lands meeting was the release of the new Forest Service motor vehicle use map. Ferron District Ranger Mesia Nyman encouraged the use of the new map after discussing the difficulties the Forest Service has been having with ATVs not staying on designated trails. The issue continues to be a huge problem as the hunting seasons are well under way.

The Forest Service has repeatedly issued statements asking ATV users to only operate on those trails signed as open to such traffic, but consistently find users in other areas. Nyman reported that anyone can get the map at Forest Service offices in the area. An online version of the map can be found at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/mantilasal/maps/.

Green River Community
Center Ceiling Collapses

Annalee Thayn

The ceiling of the Community Center/Boys & Girls Club came crashing down on Oct. 6. The roof has had several previous failures and has been repaired several times in its 100 hundred year history. The recent rains and windstorms caused the interior ceiling to crash through into the building. The Baptist Church owns the building, and they have donated its use to the community center.

Joni Pace, executive director of the center, sent out a letter dated Oct. 10 stating that the community center provides activities and services for several groupsin the community such as Head Start, which was using the trailers outside of the community center but uses the center’s bathrooms.  Also affected are the senior residents of Green River who were often provided with their evening meal there. The kids that attend the center regularly are playing soccer right now so they are not as affected, but soccer season will soon end. Pace also said how much she has enjoyed working with the community center staff. The staff is working to locate other places for a temporary community center.

Due to the collapse of he interior ceiling, the community center is closed. At the Green River City Council meeting Tom Burr, chairman of the board for the community center said that he had met with the health department inspector that day.

The inspector examined the building and said that the building could no longer be occupied, not only because of the ceiling collapse, but because during the examination he also discovered asbestos.

Blaine Evans also came to the city council meeting to ask if they could approach Emery County to deed land for a community center. In the meantime, Evans also asked if the community center could be temporarily located in the old senior citizen’s building.

In order to get land to build a new community center, a few conditions would need to be met. Evans said that some would be easy to fulfill, but that help would be needed to fulfill the other conditions. The council agreed to approach Emery County about the use of the old senior citizen’s center building. They will also help write a contract that the community center can use to get land to build a community center.

To help raise funds for a new building, a golf tournament was held at the Green River Golf Course on Oct. 18. Those interested may also donate money to help raise funds for a new building for the Green River Community Center/Boys and Girls Club by sending a donation to P.O. Box 191 Green River, Utah 84525 or by donating at the Key Bank in Green River. All donations are tax deductible.

Emery Miners Win Mine Rescue Contest

CONSOL Energy Inc.’s Emery Mine-Black team, from Emery, claimed first place honors in the CONSOL Energy “Best of the Best” Mine Rescue Contest held Sept. 16-18 in Virginia, capping the 2008 contest season. The Emery-Blue team claimed third place overall in the Virginia contest.

A total of 18 teams from throughout CONSOL Energy and its subsidiaries from five states, including those based in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Utah, competed in the event held at the CONSOL Energy Mine Rescue Training Center at Oakwood, Va. CONSOL Energy has more mine rescue teams than any other company in the industry.

Competition was held in two divisions defined by team experience and saw the Emery-Black Mine Rescue team from Emery, claim first place honors in Division I; followed by Coal River Energy-Red, of Alum Creek, W.V., second; and Emery-Blue, from Emery,  third place overall. The AMVEST WV-Gold team finished fourth overall. Also competing in Division I were the AMVEST W.V.-Blue team and the Coal River Energy-Blue team from Naugatuk, W.V.

Members of the Emery-Black mine rescue team are Ron Wright, Brandon Wilde, Matt Crosland, Johnny Donan, Corey Prettyman, Kasey Thompson and Jim Kulow, trainer.

Members of the Emery-Blue mine rescue team are Josh Christman, John Justesen, Josh Johnson, Dylan Larsen, Bret Tennant, Brett Cox and Richard Borg.

Teams are judged in the competition by Mine Safety and Health Administration and Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy personnel, who watch the teams and judge the team’s execution in solving the particular mine rescue problem presented. The competition takes into account not only how quickly a team successfully solves the problem, but also the manner in which the problem is solved. Discounts, or docks, are given to teams for mistakes made.

“The competitions are a great learning tool,” said CONSOL Energy Mine Rescue Teams Coordinator Bill Tolliver. “Contest officials meet with the teams after their competition rounds to explain to them where mistakes were made and how they could have improved on their performance.”

Teams arrived at the Oakwood training center at 7 a.m. on contest day and were escorted to an area where they awaited the start of their competition round. The order in which teams competed was selected in a random process the night before at a dinner held for all the teams.

CONSOL Energy Coal Group President Peter B. Lilly was in attendance at the dinner for the teams. He commended teams for their dedication to mine rescue and the extra time they put into being members of the mine rescue teams on which they serve.

“It’s an exciting time as I look out and see all the new faces,” Lilly said of the many new miners who have volunteered to serve on CONSOL mine rescue teams. “Mine rescue leads the way and we are fortunate to be down here for an event like this. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful things that you do and the example you set for the people in our company.”

Lilly noted it is an exciting time to be in the coal industry and he stressed the importance of working safely.

CONSOL Energy Chief Operating Officer Bart Hyita echoed comments made by Lilly.

“For all your efforts, all your sacrifice to serve on a CONSOL rescue team and to participate in mine rescue, thank you,” Hyita said. “It takes time away from your families and the whole industry appreciates your service. You are the most highly trained people we have in the company.”

As the competition started the next day, Division I teams entered two fields set up with a procedural ventilation problem to solve and worked the problem in an average time of 34 minutes, four seconds.

San Rafael Back Country Horsemen

Wayne Ludington

Do you enjoy riding horses on the public lands in Carbon and Emery County?  Many important decisions have been made without input from horsemen and will continue to be made without us, though often with input from those who prefer not to see horses or mules on any trail or in any back country areas.  You need to be a member of the San Rafael Back Country Horsemen. 

The San Rafael Back Country Horsemen, a Carbon and Emery County organization is affiliated with the state organization, Back Country Horsemen of Utah and national organization, the Back Country Horsemen of America.  The national organization actually started in 1973 in the Montana’s Flathead Valley.   A group of horseman got together and started Back Country Horsemen because of the fear that unless something was done horsemen would start losing access to public land.  BCHU was formed with a three-fold purpose: to volunteer service in the backcountry, to educate horsemen on minimum impact horse handling, and to get involved in public land use planning.

It was the original assumption that Back Country Horsemen would be a different type of organization, not the usual special interest one, normally operating as a protest group. It was felt that a service club, doing work in the back country, would lend credibility to the group when it became involved in criticisms of agency management.

It was also recognized that some of the complaints against back country horse use were justified. Consequently, it was determined that an educational program should be a fundamental principle of the group.

So, service and education joined a determination to protect our heritage of back country stock use as composites of the “purpose” printed above. The name was chosen because it signified an interest in much more than just wilderness. Back Country Horsemen are interested in perpetuating recreational stock use on virtually all public lands.

The BCHA has grown to include all of the western states and several Midwest and eastern states.  The Back Country Horsemen of Utah was formed following the national goals.  Presently there are 12 chapters of Back Country Horsemen scatter throughout Utah.  The San Rafael Back Country Horsemen chapter was formed in the Carbon and Emery area in 2006.  This chapter has continued to grow since that time and has been involved in several volunteer projects for the Manti La-Sal National Forest and the Price Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management.  They have also gone on a number of trail rides in the San Rafael Swell and the Manti La-Sal National Forest, and have worked to record some of those trails for future reference for the land managing agencies.   The SRBCH helped to construct the Horse Canyon Trailhead in Scad Valley, constructed the foot and horse bridge that crosses the small stream next to this trail head, clearing 28 miles of trails in Huntington Canyon this year, and GPSed equestrian trails in Black Canyon.  They have gone on numerous trail rides including Virgin Springs,  Box Flat, Black Canyon and an annual February ride in Chute Canyon (near Goblin Valley State Park),.
Recently the San Rafael Back Country Horsemen cooperated with the Manti La-Sal National Forest to clear and maintain non-motorized trails in Huntington Canyon.  Twenty volunteers came from all over the state congregated in Huntington Canyon to participate in this large volunteer project.  They cleared over 28 miles of trail from blown down trees and created a new trail around the Old Folks Flat Campground.  They centered their work in the Huntington Canyon and the trails they cleared included Mill Canyon, Horse Canyon, Mill Fork Canyon, Gentry Hollow, Sawmill, Stuart Guard station trail, Left Fork of Huntington, and parts of Bull Pasture and Wild Cattle.  These volunteers travel a totaled of over 2,000 miles to do this work while donating $1,150 in equipment time, utilized 23 riding and pack animals for a total of 218 stock hours, and worked 166 hours in clearing the trails.  . 
The creation of a new section of trail where trails from Steward Guard Station and Mill Canyon Trailheads goes through The Old Folks Flat campground was very satisfying.  The SRBCH worked to create a new trail that would allow the trail users (horses, hiker, and mountain bikers) to avoid riding through the campground.   As one camper noted, the same people he heard complaining about horses riding through their camps were quick to grab a camera and take pictures of the horses as they were ridden by on the new trail. 

The San Rafael Back Country Horsemen was formed with the intent to include both counties.  To facilitate this, the chapter meets in Carbon County one year and Emery County the next year.  Presently the SRBCH is meeting every third Wednesday at the Carbon County Fairgrounds in the expo building.  Starting in January they will be meeting in the Cleveland City building.   They meet at 6:30 p.m.  For more information you can contact Wayne Ludington in Spring Glen or Rod Player in Cleveland.   You can also get more information on the organization and planned rides on the website www.bchu.com.

Keeping Cattle on Their Feet

Dr. Glen Jensen, DVM

Lameness in cattle is a major disease of important economic loss in cow-calf and feedlot operations.
Lameness effects fertility, productivity and farm economics.  Proper diagnosis and early intervention is the key to effective treatment and minimizing the potential economic impact that may occur.  If left untreated or treated improperly, a disease that starts out as relatively superficial can progress to infection of bone, synovial structures, tendons, and ligaments of the lower limb.  Theses deep infections or “generalized digital sepsis” can be very difficult to treat and sometimes have a much greater economic impact.

Most ranchers initiate treatment of presumed foot-rot in beef cattle, and are often successful.  Prior to treatment it is important to make the preliminary diagnosis of foot-rot based on a good examination of the affected limb and not automatically treating every animal the same just because it is lame.   A protocol for treatment and when to seek veterinary assistance will increase the success rate and decrease costs.

Hoof-rot, also known as interdigital necrobacillosis, is an infectious disease that usually is caused by interdigital trauma and infection of two bacteria that act together to cause the disease.  It is one of the most common lameness problems in cattle.

Questions that the rancher should ask to help them determine if it is hoof-rot are:

Is the affected foot swollen? There are other causes of swelling in the foot but relatively few.  The swelling that is seen with hoof-rot is seen best when observing the hoof from the back.  The swelling is seen above the level of the coronary band – the upper limit of the hoof.  The swelling may be difficult to see if the animal is in manure or grass.  Look for the dewclaws of the foot to be spread apart.  It is often easiest to see when it is compared to the opposite foot. 

Is the swelling symmetrical? If the swelling is greater on one side of the foot it is not a simple case of hoof-rot even though it may have started out as such.  Deep infection of the foot results in visible digital swelling as well.  Other possible causes of swelling are a fracture of the bone of the foot, fescue poisoning and frostbite.  If the hoof can be picked up there will be a characteristic foul-smelling pus and split, oozing skin in the space between the two digits when hoof-rot is causing the problem. A deep infection of the foot usually results in asymmetrical swelling the distal limb and foot.  Deep infection of the foot is a challenging condition to treat.  Medical and surgical approaches may be needed to salvage the affected digit.  Because of expenses and a possible poor outcome some cattle may be slaughtered rather than treated.

Causes of lameness that do not usually cause swelling include papillomatous digital dermatitis (hairy warts), interdigital dermatitis, sole ulcers, laminitis, simple subsolar abscesses, or injuries  or diseases of the bones and joints of the upper limb.

Protocols for on-farm treatment should be set up.  The protocols should include:

u            When an animal should be treated

u            What medications are to be used

u            When professional help should be obtained. 

For example a cow treated for foot-rot, if given the proper antibiotics at the correct dose and the right interval should show resolution of lameness within one week after treatment is started.  If the cow fails to respond, then a veterinarian should be consulted to examine the cow. 

Treatments that have been successful in hoof-rot include

u            Sulfonamides

u            Oxytetracyline

u            procaine penicillin

u            Ceftiofur and others

It is very important that the correct dose and frequency is used.

Prevention includes

u            Keeping wet areas drained and clean where the pathogens survive, keeping corrals clean

u            Preventing trauma from stubble and stones, reroute paths to avoid problem areas

u            Correct nutritional deficiencies

u            Use foot baths if there is an outbreak (Jensen is a doctor of veterinarian medicine with Emery Animal Health in Castle Dale.)

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 Make a 'Miracle' Run

-Spartan Cross Country

 

  

 

 

 

Spartans Make a ‘Miracle’ Run

C. Josie Luke

The Spartan girls’ cross country team accomplished what even their coach thought impossible, qualifying for the state meet by coming in fourth at the Region 8 meet on Oct. 15. Many of the boy’s team also did better than expected but were edged out by Delta by one point.

“It was a stinkin’ miracle,” said girls’ coach Kristy Guymon. “I really didn’t think we had a chance, but the girls ran really well and they deserved it.” Lacey Montgomery came in second in what Coach Darrell Gardner called “her best race ever,” helping her teammates to accomplish the feat.

Gardner said the boy’s team “did very well, but not well enough.” Though many of the runners who had worked to move up in position did well, the first boy’s team member to finish, Cort Jensen, came in 14th. He was close to making the top ten to make it to state, but with the “dog pack” Gardner reported at the front, he just couldn’t make it in time.

As Coach Guymon put it, the girl’s team was “way excited” to make it to state. They will race at Sugarhouse Park on Oct. 22. The team was: Lacey Montgomery, Larelan Huntsman, Natalie Baantjer, Sharel Gilbert, Amanda Ewell, Tennyson Fauver and Leisha Magnuson.

Spartan Football Team Outlasted
by North Sanpete

C. Josie Luke

The last quarter of Emery’s game against North Sanpete may have seemed long for the Spartan football team, but it did not last long enough to allow them a chance to mount a winning drive.

Down 22-21 after the Hawks scored a touchdown on their first play of the fourth quarter, and added a two-point conversion, the Spartans tried again and again to move the ball down the field on offense and even forced North Sanpete into a turnover, but it was to no avail. On their first drive, the Spartans coughed up the ball after a solid run, and on the second, they turned the ball over on downs. They wouldn’t get another chance, losing the game by a point.

The Hawks scored first on a rushing touchdown in the beginning quarter. After North Sanpete added a two point conversion to go up 8-0, Emery scored twice, on an eight yard run by Chance Ariotti and a 20 yard reception by Cameron Hansen, to lead 14-8 at half time.

In the third, the Hawks banged their way down the field to tie it up at 14, but Emery grabbed the lead back quickly when quarterback Gatlan Huntington broke containment, tiptoed down the sideline for several yards and then ran the ball in for the 53 yard touchdown.

After a solid return coupled with a Spartan personal foul gave North Sanpete great field position, the Hawks moved the ball well again, scoring another touchdown to bring them within one point of the Spartans. On the ensuing extra point try, they used a trick play to score a two point conversion, which put them up by one.

The one point loss was especially hard to take for a team which had hoped for a better seed in the state tournament.

The Spartan’s last game of the regular season, their last opportunity for a second region win, will be Friday against Salem Hills. Both teams have a single region win, and will fight for fourth place. The Skyhawks only win of the season came against Carbon, but they had a close game against North Sanpete.

Playing with Rocks

Like most small cities and towns in the county, Orangeville has far more projects on its “to do” list than it has resources or manpower to do, which is why Eagle Scout projects are such a welcome benefit to the city.  Kameron Stilson, left, took on an Eagle Scout project to beautify the approaches to the bridge on Main Street that spans Cottonwood Creek.  Weeds had long ago overtaken the area, but with an army of volunteers Kameron has removed the weeds and is putting down a plastic liner to keep the weeds from coming back and then topping it off with a decorative rock pattern.  His project has helped make Orangeville a little nicer place to visit and call home.

-Dazed-

Caught by Religion

James L. Davis

Some people, I have observed, are religious by nature.  At an early age they appear to have an understanding of their Creator and strive to live a life in accordance with whatever their religious convictions might be.  Then there are those who have at some point in time had an event in their life which so impacted them that they went in search of and found religion.

I do not fit into either of those categories.  I was not born to religion and I did not find religion.  I was caught by religion, just like my father before me, although not quite as dramatically as my dad.

My dad grew up in the swampy back woods of North Carolina in Terrell County.  He was the son of a farmer, woodsmen and grocery store owner and when he was 8 years old my grandfather caught my dad by the ear and had him baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  But that was pretty much the end of the matter.  He had been caught by religion but hadn’t stayed caught.  The closest church was in Elizabeth City and Elizabeth City was a good ways further away in 1936 than it is today. So, they only made it to church a couple of times a year, something most boys could survive without “catching” anything.

Ten years later, things were a little different.  Mormon missionaries had gone from spending very little time in the county to actually being assigned to the county. Such an assignment gave them ample opportunity to visit my grandparent’s house.

My dad and my uncles, aware that missionaries were on the prowl, determined that the best way to continue their mischievous lifestyle was to never be caught by the missionaries.  So they made sure not to be at home when the missionaries came calling.

The missionaries weren’t dummies, however, and they eventual realized that the Davis boys were dodging them.  So being roughly the same age and probably a little mischievous themselves, they determined that they were going to catch my dad and uncles.

Aware that they were now being actively hunted by the missionaries, my dad and his brothers made an escape route in case they were ever caught at home when the missionaries came calling.  It just so happened that their bedroom faced the rear of the house and the fields beyond, so they rearranged their bedroom in such a way that they could easily slip out the window and into the woods when the missionaries knocked on the front door.

This game of cat and mouse with religion could have gone on forever, but one day the missionaries got lucky and my dad found himself facing a bridge that he could not cross…literally.

My aunt and uncle were keepers of a swinging bridge that spanned one of the rivers in the county.  When tug boats came down the river hauling trees to the saw mills, the boats would sound their horn and one of them would open the bridge, which would swing on a pivot in the center.  Fully opened, the bridge was in the middle of the river and boats could pass on either side.

One day my aunt and uncle had to go to town and my dad and one of his friends were left in charge of opening the bridge.  To hear my dad tell the story, the bridge was a good distance away from the fields where they worked, so when the boat tooted its horn they had to hightail it to get to the bridge in time, but my dad was a pretty fast runner, so he wasn’t too worried.  Running from missionaries will do that to you.

When a tug boat blew its horn later that afternoon my dad and his buddy took off running for the bridge.  They made it with time to spare and started to swing the bridge open when who just happened to appear, but the missionaries that had been out to catch them.

There wasn’t going to be any running because the bridge had to be opened, and just as the bridge reached the point where it was going to swing away from the shore and be inaccessible to the missionaries, they ran and jumped onto it.  So when the bridge became an island in the middle of the river my dad, his friend and the two missionaries were the only occupants.

That left my dad and his friend with two choices: jump in the river and try and out swim the water moccasins, or be caught by the missionaries.  My dad’s friend risked the water moccasins and escaped the missionaries (and the snakes).  But my dad was caught by the missionaries and on a bridge in the middle of a river he had to listen to them. Eventually he became one of them, which, all in all, was a good thing because my dad met the young woman who would become my mom while on his mission.
That is how my dad caught religion.

I also caught religion, but in my case I just happened to fall in love with a woman who had found religion.  So, all things considered, my dad’s caught religion story is much more interesting than my own.

Never Compete with Animals or Kids

Casey Wood

There are many different kinds of things taught and so much advice given to a new independent film maker, things such as “be conscious of your lighting,” “use a tripod,” “film from different angles,” and of course, possibly the most important one, which I learned at the Second Annual Huntington Film Festival last weekend, “never compete with animals or children.”  Unfortunately I learned this the hard way.

I was pleased to be informed that I could enter multiple submissions into the festival, so I prepared a short film, and an even shorter comedy parody. 

The short film I created is called Ridgefield.  It is a mafia movie.  I spent two months writing a script for it, off and on, creating 15 different roles.  I ended up in some cases quadruple casting because I only had eight cast members.  I spent over two weeks of staggered filming to get all of the material, equaling about eight hours of rehearsing, filming, and re-filming.  I then spent about six hours in editing and my ‘masterpiece’ was completed.

The other film, a shorter comedy parody was called Tiny Cops.  Tiny Cops was a ‘Good Cop, Bad Cop’ parody starring my two nephews, Gavin, age 5, and Ashtun, age 3, playing the star roles. Gavin was the “bad cop” and Ashtun was the “good cop.”  Tiny Cops was unscripted and the whole premise of the movie was thrown together in about three minutes.  I had a cast of five family members I scrounged up at the last minute.  We filmed for about 45 minutes and I spent about an hour and a half editing it.  I at first did not even intend to submit the film.

I submitted both films, and the following weekend I traveled to the film festival.  When all the votes were tallied a couple of surprising things happened.  First, my films took first and second places, which was surprising to me because of the low quality and short amount of time spent on Tiny Cops.  Second, and the more surprising, is that when I heard the announcement of second place, it was Ridgefield, leaving first place to Tiny Cops.  I, along with the cast of Ridgefield, was awestruck to say the least.  How in the world, I wondered, could a film that I spent less than three hours on beat a film I spent a month on?  In frustration that evening, I spoke with my dad concerning the matter.

“Dad, how in the heck did Tiny Cops beat Ridgefield?  How can the time and hard work I spent on that film not pay off for my cast and me?  Where is the justice in the world?”

At that moment I learned a very valuable lesson.

“Son,” said my dad, “it has nothing to do with time and effort.  In the real world, never compete with animals and children, because if you do, you will lose.”

As I continued to complain and be disappointed over the whole incident, I couldn’t help but think in the back of my mind, “Well at least I only lost to myself.”

Maude Killpack Shares
Her Love of Cooking

Kathy Ockey

Maude Killpack is an exceptionally pleasant person with a great attitude for life.  She said she loves to cook but since her husband Dwight passed away several years ago there is no one around to cook for.  She also said it is hard to scale down the amount of food you cook when you are used to making large quantities of food.

Maude was born to Grant and Lilly Snow and raised in Orangeville.  She said her mother loved everyone and remembers her father taught her how to whistle when she was small.  Maude married Dwight and recalls they moved 25 times in the first five years of married life.  Dwight was working construction and some of the places they lived were: Idaho, Castle Dale, Delta, Levan and St. George. They also lived in Trinidad, Colo., for several years, where Dwight was the superintendent over a washer plant.

Maude loves arranging flowers and worked in several big markets creating beautiful flower arrangements.  She also likes to golf.

Dwight and Maude eventually settled down and built a home in Ferron.  They had two little boys then and twin girls soon arrived.  A year and a half later, another son was born.  Maude said they had a houseful of children, but it was fun when they were small and Dwight helped with them a lot.  Their children are twin girls Kollyne and Kollette, and sons Kyle, Parke and Bevan.

Maude said Dwight liked homemade food, not processed or packaged food, and she enjoyed making it for her family. 

“I have always loved to cook.  My mother was a good cook and I learned a lot from her,” she said. 
Maude chose several of her favorite recipes to share.

Lilly’s Chili Sauce
“This is my Mom’s Recipe. It’s Easy and Delicious”

To every dozen ripe tomatoes add:
3 onions
1 green pepper
1 cup vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon each of allspice, cinnamon, mustard, cloves and ginger.
Cook for three or four hours and bottle.

Texas Chili

1 pound hamburger- browned
Boil together:
1 onion
4-5 potatoes, cubed
1 green pepper
Drain and leave about 1 cup liquid
Add:
1 1/2  tablespoon chili powder
1/4 tablespoon garlic
1/4 tablespoon pequin seasoning
2 tablespoons sugar
1 can chopped tomatoes with juice
1 large can tomato sauce
1 can Texas chili beans
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
Mix all ingredients and cook until done.  This is also delicious to use for Navajo Tacos

Chicken Rolls

2/3 cups dried bread crumbs or croutons
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 3-ounce packages cream cheese with chives
4 tablespoons soft butter
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups cubed chicken or turkey
2/3 cups mushrooms
2 cans crescent rolls
6 tablespoons melted butter

Combine cheese, butter and pepper and mix well.  Add chicken, mushrooms and set aside in small bowl.  Mix bread and nuts.  Separate dough and spread 1/4 cup chicken mixture on each one.  Roll up and tuck ends under, dip into melted butter then roll in crumbs.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes.   These are good to freeze and reheat.  Serve with the following gravy.

Gravy
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
I use some of the chicken broth that I cook the chicken in, thicken and serve.

Poppy Seed Cake

3 cups flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/8 cups oil
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, butter and almond flavoring
Add eggs, milk oil and flavoring to dry ingredients and mix for two minutes.  Add:
2 tablespoons poppy seeds and stir.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes.  Glaze with powdered sugar, orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, butter and almond flavoring.

Young Reader Recommends
‘Ghost of Spirit Bear’

Kathy Ockey

Olivia Irving and her family moved to Elmo from Nampa, Idaho six years ago, and she loves living here.  Olivia has two brothers, three sisters and they all enjoy living in a small town and knowing everyone. 

Olivia went to public school for her first two and a half years of schooling and then her mom started home schooling her children.  Olivia said she loves being taught at home and really learns a lot.

“Mom does a good job,” she said.  Olivia said she has seen cases where home schooling has not turned out very well but she really likes learning this way. Olivia is also very excited because her grandmother is teaching her how to play the accordion.

She is a very intelligent young lady and loves to read. In fact the whole family enjoys reading. 

She recently completed the two book series, “Touching Spirit Bear” and “Ghost of Spirit Bear,” by Ben Mikaelsen.  She said it is the story of Cole Matthews, the 16-year-old son of wealthy, alcoholic and abusive parents.  He lives in Minneapolis and was bullied throughout his life and then becomes a bully himself.  He is convicted of beating a classmate almost to death and rather than go to jail he is sent to a remote Alaskan island for one year.  After he is on the island for several weeks he is severely mauled by Spirit Bear and has to go back for medical treatment.  He is sent back to the island and when he again leaves the island he is different because he has learned many important things about life and how to handle problems.

The book “Ghost of Spirit Bear” continues Cole’s story but includes the teen that he had beaten severely, Peter Driscal.  They became good friends and the book tells how they had to go back to a high school full of gangs and hate.  The story of the two boys is one of survival and friendship.  Cole realizes it is not enough to change himself but, that he  has to try to change the world around him. 

Olivia said she learned a lot reading these books and recommends them to all teens to help them learn what it is like to be in the world today.

Archives Receives Treasure
from Green River’s Past

Annalee Thayn

The Farrers were one of the first families of Green River; they came to Green River around 1878 or 1879, back when Green River was called Blake. They came because they wanted peace and quiet, something that can still be found here today.

Green River is unusual, because it is one of only a few towns in Utah not settled by Mormon pioneers. The pioneers did not think they could farm the ground easily enough to make living here possible.
J.T. Farrer thought differently, so he brought his family and settled here. He built one of the first stores in Green River in 1880, and was a partner with Matt Hartman of the Green River Ferry.

Last week the Green River Archives was given a gift from Farrer family descendents. We were sent several pictures including pictures of their family, the ferry, two of Farrer’s justice of the peace books, and five books of the store records. It was fun to read how much they paid for groceries; several entries had “Bad Debt” written across them. I wonder if Mr. Farrer ever did receive complete payments from some of the folks. Also in the package we were sent were the records of  the names and occupations of people who purchased items from the store.

I read an interesting entry of an 11-year-old boy who had stolen from the Farrer store. There was concern about what would happen to the boy. It was suggested that the boy be placed with relatives in Huntington.

Also included was a certificate of promotion item from the 6th to the 7th grade signed by B.F. Larsen for John Farrer in 1903, J.T.’s son. Larsen was a schoolteacher who lived in Green River, but would eventually go the BYU, where he would have an art gallery named for him that is still there today.
I haven’t been able to study the collection in detail yet. It is in delicate condition and is in need of TLC. But we are excited to have it. It gives the history of Green River a more complete picture.

Candidate Choices Made Me ‘Undecided’

C. Josie Luke

For nearly two months I have been troubled. Since Senator Barak Obama elected not to select Hilary Clinton, picking Joseph Biden as his vice-presidential running mate and Senator John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, I have become what the media refers to as an “undecided voter.”

Since a history class in junior high, I realized my political views did not fit the Emery County stereotype. College proved to move me even more to the left, compared with many of my fellow Emery High School graduates -- though I would still call myself a moderate -- but lately, I find myself considering supporting the Republican ticket. Why? Their views do not normally fit my own. One reason is that Senator Obama is much more liberal than I am -- that bothered me even before he won the nomination -- but the real reason is: I like Sarah Palin.

Palin could move into Emery County and fit right in. Socially and fiscally conservative, she’d be a local hit. She hunts and fishes, rides four-wheelers and snow mobiles, is pro drilling and even has five kids. She’d be universally loved and accepted. She even reminds me of my sister.

The last statement is probably at the core of my undecided-ness. Gov. Palin is, like me, a woman. Obvious, one might point out, but for me it carries so much significance. I grew up wishing for a time when a woman would be president. Heck, in Utah, even an elected female governor would be nice. I bristled at the sexist comments used to rationalize the U.S. never having a female leader. When Palin’s name was reported, I wanted to cheer. When she blew people away with her acceptance speech, I was elated.

I had been so disappointed when Obama didn’t pick “Hilary.” I would have voted for her without hesitation. I may have even campaigned for her. For a woman I agree with on most issues to be president, it would have been a dream come true. But that dream was crushed by Senator Obama. Yet I would have still voted for him heartily until McCain chose Palin.

Now, I am left wondering what I will do as I walk to the voting machine on Nov. 4 to make my selections. I can go with my political views, or I can support a dream I’ve had since I was a young girl. I know many would consider my predicament unfounded or even silly, but I am still “undecided.”
So, just before beginning writing my editorial, as I read about Colin Powell endorsing Barak Obama, and some questioned if the selection was “racially motivated,” I was drawn in, wondering if it was really a fair basis on which to make such an endorsement. But after considering the subject and taking into account my affection for Palin, I understood a little better.

I do not think the endorsement was purely motivated by race, although it does seem odd though that a republican many have wished would run for president, would endorse one of the most liberal presidential candidates in history. It seems contradictory. But I can understand. For a member of a historically brutalized minority to support another member of that minority is reasonable to me.

A New York Times article possibly explains the racial issue away, citing Mr. Powell’s disagreements with the Bush administration over the war in Iraq among other things and stating, “Mr. Powell’s support of Mr. Obama was not a surprise to people who know him well and within Washington’s foreign policy establishment.”  But, if like me, a part of Mr. Powell’s motivation is personal or even selfish, I can understand. I really want a woman to be president. Why Obama didn’t pick Clinton, though, is beyond me. It sure would have made life easier.

The Pursuit of Wealth – Obama Style

Jerry Stotler

One of the first jobs I ever had was selling vacuum cleaners. The other salesmen had a name for people who were looking for something for nothing. They called them mooches and considered them easy targets. They were the people who were usually trying to get others to give them something, like part of their lunch at work. The salesmen would go into the lower income areas and sell their books to those who had no self discipline, who couldn’t say no to an emotional appeal that if they owned the vacuum they would be like the well-to-do. They felt you could sell them anything just by getting them to think they would look like or be like those who were better off.

That concept is alive and well today. The liberals like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are constantly promising us that we will have what the well-to-do have and that they are going to take it from those who have so much (bigger businesses or bigger bank accounts) and give it to the less fortunate. (I am very sure that most of you cannot even define the socialism that they are promoting. Remember this: Socialism has no redeeming social value that cannot be better achieved in some other way.)  Obama would have you believe that he is going to take from the rich (tax them) and share it with you (after he and his ilk skims a nice percentage off the top.). Are you so naive as to believe that? The socialists have been claiming that for 150 years, yet the number of people living at or below the poverty level keeps growing in spite of the increased welfare programs. The common result of such thinking is people with their hand out saying, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme some too.  (There are basically two kinds of people that embrace socialism: those who secretly or openly want to be taken care of, and those who want power over people, who want to tell you how to run your life.)

The total federal spending in 1908 was $763 million. The population was 90,490,000. If the liberals are right and there is a huge pot of wealth that we all share in and their job is to redistribute it, we are all in serious trouble. The population increased by roughly 3 1/3 in the last 100 years, but the budget increased by more than 4 times. If we all lived out of one huge pot of wealth we all had to share, where did all the extra wealth come from? We should all be sharing in the same pot of a hundred years ago ($763 million). But there is more money available today ($3.1 trillion), more wealth must have been created and the big pot keeps getting bigger. It is, therefore, evident that wealth is created, not accumulated in a big pot and not shared from some finite pot that we/they need to redistribute.

As students come out of our schools ignorant of basic finance principles, they are easily manipulated into thinking that they can’t get ahead because the others guys have taken all the wealth and there is not enough left for them to live well. They are broke because someone else has some of their share. It is, therefore, OK for government to take it back (steal it) from them for redistribution to those unable to get their fair share.

Wealth is manifested in material goods. If you don’t think wealth is created, just go to a landfill and note the amount of worn out wealth that has been discarded. While all that old wealth was being discarded, an abundance of new wealth was being created to take its place. Thus we have far more wealth today then we ever have had in the past.

A quote from The Richest Man in Babylon written by George Clason says: “A portion of all you earn is yours to keep, therefore, pay yourself first, one tenth of all you earn.”

In that way, at the end of 10 years you will have one full year’s income in the bank, plus all of its children’s children’s children (compounded interest). While you are at it, get out of debt. (Stotler resides in Ferron.)

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.
