Pumpkin Festival

C. Josie Luke

Pirates, police officers, fairies, cowboys, a secret service agent, Disney princesses, Power Rangers, enough animals to fill a zoo, a decidedly western Barak Obama, a “pumpkin look-alike” and many other characters appeared at the Emery County Recreation Center on Saturday night for Castle Dale’s annual Pumpkin Festival.

Hundreds of parents and children arrived for the festival, complete with pumpkin carving competition, stew dinner and pumpkin desserts, homemade root beer, biggest pumpkin contest, costume parades and contest, and general association with other Halloween enthusiasts.

The winner of the biggest pumpkin was Kenneth Larsen. The winners of the pumpkin carving contest were: Buskin Allred- Best All-Around, Tuckett Allred- Craziest, Alli Monroe- Silliest, Jensen Jorgensen- Happiest, and Teegan Jensen- Scariest.

In the costume contests the winners were named in age categories. They included: Destiny Fausset in the birth to 2-year-old category, dressed as a pirate; Tyler Stilson in the 3 to 5-year-old category, as a skunk;  Laun Huntsman in the 6 to 9-year-old category, as a secret service agent; Emily Olsen in the 10 to 12-year-old category, as a “little old lady”; and Bryson Weaver in the 13-year-old to adult category as “crazy eyes”.

Mayor by the Flip of a Coin

C. Josie Luke

One side calls “heads” or “tails”, the adjudicator flips a coin, and the result is decided. It may sound a lot like the beginning of a football game, but the scenario in fact took place at the Ferron City Council meeting Oct. 23, after the council vote to appoint a new mayor resulted in a tie.

After the city council, minus candidate JoAnn Behling, cast their ballots for mayor, Trent Jackson, mayor pro tempore, reported that there was a tie, with Behling and Rod Toomer each receiving two votes. He then revealed what shocked many in the room saying, “According to state statute, we either flip a coin or draw lots.”

So, Jackson grabbed a coin, asked Behling to call it, she chose heads, Jackson flipped the coin, it landed on heads and Behling was appointed as Ferron’s new mayor.

“I am really excited. It was just luck,” said Behling. “There was a time, I thought, ‘Oh gosh, now what,’ you know? But I knew they could flip a coin. Then when he stepped up and said I could pick which I wanted, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve never been lucky in my life,’ but it turned out alright.”

The new mayor is genuinely excited about the opportunity to serve. “I’m tickled about it. I hope I can do a good job for them,” she revealed. “I want to be a good mayor, and I think I can be.”

Behling has served in various civic positions, including being a member of the Ferron city council on two occasions, a member of the Ferron Planning and Zoning Committee, Ferron City Recorder for 11 years and Emery County Treasurer for three terms.
She cited this experience in her address during the meeting that night. “I just felt like I have some background and knew the ordinances. I know some things have changed and I‘ll have to catch up on that, but I feel like I can offer something that would be of benefit to the city,” she stated.

In all, six people turned in applications for the position, but only four addressed the council and the citizens at the meeting, including Behling, Toomer, Eric Howes and Lou Sansevero. Each was given the opportunity to express their reasons for applying for the appointment, and the council was given a chance to ask questions.

During the address in the meeting and afterward, Behling expressed the same reasoning for her desire to serve as mayor. That desire, she said, came from a love for Ferron and the people who live there. “I love the city, and I love the people. I feel like I can contribute. I feel like I have enough experience that hopefully, I can do something that would improve the city,” she said.

She also conveyed a desire to work for what the citizens of Ferron want, concluding, “I want to make it what they want it to be, and I hope I can do that.”

Behling’s appointment leaves an open position on the city council which will be filled at the city council meeting on Nov. 13.

Huntsman Autoplex Weathers Storm

James L. Davis

Troy Huntsman knows something of how the financial crisis embroiling the world can devastate a business.  His business, Huntsman Autoplex in Huntington, has found itself caught in a perfect storm as financing tidal waves hit one after another, forcing him to close the doors of his dealership for a time.

But the doors to Huntsman Autoplex quietly reopened last week and the dealership is back on solid ground as Huntsman was able to navigate through financial crises that even now leave him shaking his head with wonder.

Huntsman’s business was devastated by instabilities in the banking sector before the banking debacle was front page news.  When construction on the Huntsman Autoplex was completed the construction loan for the building was supposed to be rolled into a long term loan through a bank in California.  Hunstman had secured a commitment letter from the bank to provide the loan, but when the time came to finalize the loan the bank backed out of its commitment, leaving Huntsman adrift on a sea of debt and in search of a banking institution willing to finance his business.

Huntsman said he has been told he should take legal action against the bank that left him hanging, but he sees little point in it now.

“I’m not going to get anywhere with the current banking crisis going on,” he said.

Without a bank behind him, Hunstman was forced to close the doors to his dealership in July while he sought financing and struggled to keep things from completely falling apart.

Today, with financing secured, the crisis averted and the doors to the dealership open again, Huntsman is taking a philosophical approach to the challenges he has faced.

“Everything ended up better than before.  We’re in business and we secured a loan with a better interest rate.  I guess it just goes to show that good things happen to those who wait, and to those who work really hard,” Huntsman said.

The business owner said one of his biggest regrets is that some of his customers were also caught in the financial storm as his financing fell apart and he was unable to secure clear titles to vehicles.  To clear those titles for his customers he sold personal assets and did anything he could to get the titles cleared. All of those titles have now been cleared for his customers.

“I’ve had many sleepless nights on their behalf.  For those who were impacted by this, they have my sincerest apology,” Huntsman said.

The fact that he was able to secure financing at a time of crisis in the world is just one more reason why Huntsman said he is a firm believer in miracles.

“We had to find financing in the worst economic time since the great depression, but miraculously we were able to do it.  How do you receive financing in an area like this, on a business like this, in an economy like this?  You don’t. But we did,” he said.

Even as his financing unraveled earlier in the year, Huntsman was committed to continuing to fight to save his dream.

“It doesn’t mean you give up.  This is what I know.  This is what I love,” he said.

When he was forced to close his doors Huntsman said he and his family were keenly aware of the support from the community.  He saw it in letters and phone calls of support and he said he was deeply grateful for all of the help they received to reestablish their business.

And with the doors to the dealership once again open, Huntsman said he is going to keep the business lean to face the current economic situation.  He plans to keep his inventory of cars small and focus on finding his customers the cars they are looking for.  With an erratically fluctuating automobile market he believes dealers with a smaller inventory will be able to find their customers the best deal on an automobile.

“This is a huge buyers market right now.  If you’re looking for a car right now, let me broker it for you.  Let me go out and find it for you,” he said.

With only a few cars on the lot, Huntsman smiles as a truck sale was made in his first few days back in business.  He is back to doing what he loves and has learned a few lessons along the way.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of trouble you face.  Keep moving forward.  If you keep on keeping on you’re going to make it,” he said.

County Hires Lifeguards for Pool

As the finishing touches are put on the Emery County Aquatics Center, Commissioner Drew Sitterud asked for volunteers to help identify any final work that may be needed on the punch edit list before the contractor turns over the keys to the pool.

Sitterud asked for volunteers to accompany the commissioners on a walk through of the pool during the Oct. 21 meeting of the Emery County Commission.  He indicated that the county could have taken possession of the building, but the commission had decided to wait until the project was completely finished before doing so.

With only a few loose ends left to complete on the pool, the county is expected to open the pool in November following a two week training period for pool staff and life guards.

Nine people applied for life guard positions at the pool and the county will pay for the life guard training for the first group of lifeguards.  Sitterud said after the first group is trained, other applicants for lifeguard positions will have to pay for their own training.

The commission approved the hiring of eight lifeguards during the Oct. 21 meeting.  Hired as lifeguards for the swimming pool are Marilyn Collard, Stayler McOmie, Annette Hatch, Aaron Knighton, Troylyn Bently, Jessica Labrum, Ryan Thompson and Dokota McArthur.  All eight were hired as part time employees with no benefits.  Collard was also hired to teach the lifeguard certification class.

Huntington Youth City Council Begins
Cleanup of Old Huntington Flour Mill

C. Josie Luke

The Huntington Youth City Council began the cleanup of the old flour mill in the northwest area of town on Oct. 25 in hopes of eventually restoring the building. The 110 year old building is already on the national register of historic buildings, but has fallen into disrepair over the years.

The property is owned by Dan Wager from Duchesne. Huntington Councilmember Julie Jones revealed that Wager is willing to sell the property to the city, but only if they are willing to restore the building if it is possible to do so. Jones also said that Wager had an engineer come and check the building for termites and soundness. She reported the engineer said both the foundation and building are sound. “To look at it there’s really nothing wrong with it,” said Jones. “The flour mill itself is quite sound. It’s the add-ons that are the problem. Almost all of the equipment is still here.”

The city has been considering what they would like to do with the property if they were able to restore it. Some of the suggestions have been to convert part of the building into a restaurant or bed and breakfast, or to simply make the property into a museum.

The youth council is working to clean up the outside of the building to make citizens aware of the possibilities for the property. The city now needs to have a structural engineer from the historical society support the findings of the first engineer.

Citizens are also excited about the possibility the building could be preserved. Jones said, “I think there’s enough people interested in it that they would help do something with it.”

Edward Geary has already volunteered to be the chairperson over a committee to restore the flour mill, and Jones explained that he is contacting the historical preservation society to find out what steps now need to be taken, since the building is already on their registry.

In the meantime, the youth council will continue to work on the outside. They worked on both Oct. 24 and 25 and will be at the site again this week. Jones said they will continue to work on it “until it is cleaned up.”

Sheriff’s Office Responds to Unusual Incidents During Week

The Emery County Sheriff’s Office was faced with several unusual incidents this past week, including two break-ins at the same business in Orangeville and a fallen power line that killed three horses.

The break-ins happened at Best Tech Auto, owned by Jason Mills. The first occurred on Oct. 23, the second on the evening of Oct. 24. After an alarm sounded, Mills contacted the sheriff’s office to respond. Mills and Officer Blake Gardner found a window on the west side of the building had been broken.

According to Detective Bob Blackburn, a small amount of money was taken during the first break-in, but nothing was taken the second time because the owner had removed valuables from the store.

Blackburn said they suspected the burglaries had been committed by youth, but because the suspects may be juveniles, he could not give further information. He encouraged citizens to contact the sheriff’s office with any information. “If they see any kids out at night looking suspicious, we’d appreciate it if they’d contact the sheriff’s office,” he stated.

The accident involving the horses was reported on Oct. 24 after the owner, Amy Adams, reported the incident to the sheriff’s office. Officer Gardner responded to the call and upon arriving was told three horses had been killed by a downed power line.

According to the incident report, Gardner reported that the line and insulator had broken loose, but had not hit the ground. The three horses lay in a line along the fence. The downed line killed two foaling mares and a gelding.

The power company was forced to cut the power to remove the horses, which resulted in the power outage on Friday night.

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 Hospital Hosts Health Fair

C. Josie Luke

In an effort to increase community health awareness, Castle View Hospital hosted their 5th annual Health Fair Oct. 21. The fair offered an opportunity for members of the community to receive discounted health screenings and information from health professionals.

Organizers of the event decided to intensely focus on community health in their fifth year, so they offered cholesterol screenings, blood sugar tests, fitness analyses, breast exams, skin cancer screenings and blood pressure and oxygen level tests, along with flu shots.

According to Pam Konakis R.N. a co-chair of the event, they hoped the screenings and information would “make people more aware of what a healthy lifestyle entails.” She explained that when patients are more educated about their health, it is easier for them to make lifestyle changes so they can be well.

“It makes them more aware, because sometimes you don’t think about going to your doctor if you feel good, so if you have the screenings and something is not quite right, then you can follow up with your doctor,” she described.

As an example of the effect the health fairs have had, Konakis described one woman who came the first year they held the event. “I remember one lady who came out our very first year and her blood sugar was high and her cholesterol was high. She came back in and got education. Now, when she comes in, she’s lost weight, she exercises and all of her levels are in range. It’s really really exciting to see that you can make a difference.”

Many community members took advantage of the screenings offered during the event. Konakis reported that 87 people received lipid and diabetes screenings, 32 received breast cancer screenings, 28 received skin cancer screenings, 22 were given flu shots and 42 attended the lunch featuring speaker by Dr. Anna Beck, an oncologist from the Salt Lake area.

The screenings, which are given at a discount of nearly 70 percent in order to bring the greatest number of people in possible, have become quite popular. Konakis reported that people even call and ask when the screenings will be held again.

Organizers also hope the discounted screenings at the fair draw community members who don not have insurance. “It gives them an idea of where they stand with their health,” Konakis explained. “A screening at a health fair never takes the place of visiting your doctor, but if people don’t have health insurance they are less likely to go to the doctor unless they have a reason.”
A number of community agencies teamed up to organize the health fair including the Community Health Awareness Team of Castleview Hospital, Community Nursing Services and the Southeastern Utah District Health Department.

Konaksi specificall y mentioned Linda Beal from CNS, Richard Polster from Rocky Mountain Home Care, her co-workers Eva Tseng, Elaine Bowman, Sherry King, Brain Powell and Cris Rena, the Caslteview Hospital Auxiliary, and the hospital’s administration.

Spartans Play their Best Game of the
Season to Qualify for State

C. Josie Luke

The Spartan Football team played perhaps their best game of the season to qualify for the state football championships. Emery began their last home game of the season with confidence and energy and though the game was interrupted by a 45 minute blackout, the Spartans outplayed the Skyhawks throughout the contest.

Emery jumped out on top in the first quarter with two straight passes to Colby Snow, leading quickly to a 35-yard touchdown run by Dalton Judd. The defense then forced the Skyhawks to punt on their first possession, and Emery’s offense marched down the field to the one yard line. After a five yard penalty on the Spartans, both teams got set to run the next play and the lights went out.

With no light to play by, both teams and many fans left the field to wait for the power to be restored. Forty-five minutes later, the score board flicked on, followed by the lights, and the teams returned to finish the game. Though the interruption may have served to cool many teams, the Spartans seemed unfazed. “We had so much momentum, we just seemed to keep going after we came back,” said Coach Jimmy Jones.

On their first play after returning, Gatlan Huntington handed the ball to Snow, who ran it into the end zone for the Spartan’s second touchdown. Though they missed the extra point attempt, the Spartans were out to a 13 point lead before the end of the first quarter.

The Skyhawks scored on their next drive, but Snow again eluded their defense for a 15-yard touchdown. After a second touchdown by Snow put the Spartans up 25-7, tempers flared as time ran out in the second quarter, resulting in two Salem Hills’ players being thrown out of the game.

The Spartan’s momentum was uninterrupted in the third quarter. JT Noyes made sure of that by intercepting a pass from the Skyhawks’ quarterback on the first drive. Then Tanner Procarione, who had missed the last game with an Achilles injury, caught a pass from a scrambling Huntington and the Spartans converted a two-point conversion to go up 33-7.

Salem Hills attempted to mount a comeback, scoring two unanswered touchdowns and two two-point conversions to draw within 13, but that was as close as they would get. Emery added two more touchdowns in the game, a 20-yard run by Chance Ariotti and a 3-yard run by Morgan Burr, to put the Skyhawks away, 46-20.

Salem Hills’ weak defense provided the Spartans with the perfect opportunity to run their offense the way they would have liked to throughout the season, resulting in 549 yards of total offense.  Their rushing offense was especially potent. Emery had two players who ran for over 100 yards in the game: Snow, with 157 and Ariotti, with 103. Burr added 65 yards, Judd had 42, Noyes had 49 and Huntington had 24.

Coach Jones also gave credit to his offensive line for the rushing total. “I thought our running backs and our line did a good job. You play against Delta and Juan Diego and they’re so good up front that we can’t do some of the things we want to so,” he explained. “Last night we were a little stronger and played hard to do some things we had wanted to do the whole season.”

Though the defense did give up 20 points, they forced two turnovers. Derrick Allred led the defense in tackles with 15, followed by Ariotti with 12 and Snow with 9.

Jones was pleased with the Spartans overall effort in the game and felt it was a fitting end to their regular season. “I thought we played really well,” he commented. “It was a good way for our seniors to go out at home.”

The Spartans will face Park City in the first round of state tournament. Though Park City is ranked first in their region, they have a 5-4 record, but Jones said the record is deceiving.  He revealed that they were hit with the “injury bug” in the middle of the season and lost three games, but they are healthy now and will be a tough opponent for the Spartans. The game will be played at Park City on Friday at 4 p.m.

Girls' Cross Country Competes at State

After the miraculous efforts of the Emery Girl’s Cross Country team to make it to the state tournament, they were brought back down to earth by the class of teams who competed with them there, finishing last of 15 teams. But the girls showed their metal by finishing the race even though according to their coach, they were quite nervous.

“I think the girls did really well,” said Coach Kristy Guymon. “All of them finished the race, even though some of them got really nervous. So, we were really quite proud of them.”

Senior Lacey Montgomery again led her team, finishing 16th. Guymon revealed she “had a lot riding on the race,” with college coaches watching her, but though she was under such pressure, she ran one of her best times of the year.

Guymon was proud of the way the team performed, especially in qualifying for the state event. “It really was a great year,” she concluded. She also explained that Montgomery was the only senior on the team, so next year the team will retain all of the other runners.

-Dazed-

Being Scared

James L. Davis

The Halloween season is once again upon us, which means that at some point during the next week I can be counted upon to scream like a school girl and curse in several languages  I was not even aware I knew.

I will scream like a school girl and curse in foreign languages because I do not particularly like being scared, but invariably I will be sometime around Halloween.  I always am.  It is a curse I have brought upon myself after many years of delighting in scaring others on any given occasion.

In the scheme of things there are basically two types of people:  those who scare and those who are scared. Sometimes people fall into both categories.  Take coal miners for instance.  Walk up on a coal miner without his knowledge and jab him in the ribs and watch what happens.  Nine times out of 10 the coal miner will scream and take a swing at you, not necessarily in that order. You don’t really even have to jab them in the ribs.  Just say hi when they aren’t aware that you’re there and you get pretty much the same reaction.  They are also just as likely to sneak up on the next guy and try the same thing you just scared them with.

Of the two categories I spent most of my life in the former.  I loved to scare people but did not like to be scared.  Even today, after screaming like a school girl because my daughter was waiting right outside the bathroom door when I opened it and made me do what I had gone to the restroom to avoid doing in the first place, I will argue for long periods of time that I hadn’t been scared at all.  I had merely been acting when I screamed and dropped to the floor to curl up in the fetal position.

I did not used to be easy to scare.  In fact, I used to be pretty much impossible to scare.  That was because I was constantly looking for new and inventive ways to scare other people, so I could see a good scare coming.  But somewhere along the line I became preoccupied and no longer looked for every occasion to jump out and scream like a banshee at some poor, helpless victim carrying a dozen eggs. I got lazy and because I got lazy I was cursed to have all of the scares I had given returned to me tenfold, which is probably immensely satisfying to my niece, who was the victim of one my greatest scares. Even today, 30 years later, she will look at me on occasion, furrow her brow and begin to hit me with whatever object is at hand while mumbling under her breath that she will teach me for scaring her like that.

When I was in 15 or 16 years old I was at the height of my scaring abilities and could find inventive ways to scare my siblings, my parents, my neighbors, complete strangers and the family pets.  It was something of an obsession.  So it was that one afternoon I happened to be walking by the front window of our house and noticed that my niece was staring rather intently at the television.  So much rapt attention just begged for interruption with a good scare, and I just so happened to be ready and willing to provide one.

So I went to my bedroom, where I kept my favorite Halloween mask.  It was an old man mask and with it pulled over my head it fit so snugly that at first glance you might just think you were looking at a particularly ugly old man in need of a good dermatologist.  I had spent long hours developing a persona to go along with the mask that included a sliding limp and the habit of moaning and growling at the same time.  I slipped the mask on, covered my body with a hammered overcoat and ran back outside.  My niece is eight years or so younger than I am, making her the absolute perfect age to torment.  So when I scraped my fingers across the window and saw her eyes diverted from the television to me I was laughing behind the old man mask as her eyes widened.

Not content just to give her a slight scare, I pulled the window open and gave her a guttural growl for good measure.  She responded by sliding back further and opening her eyes even wider.  So, being a teenager with an easy victim to scare, I decided the thing to do was to climb through the window, which I did as her eyes widened to the point where I thought it might be possible for her eyeballs to actually pop out of their socket.

Now inside the living room, I was not sure exactly how to end my scare attack, so I improvised.  I had watched the Planet of the Apes earlier in the week and for some reason decided that jumping about the room like a wild ape would be the thing to do.  I followed it up by jumping on the couch, biting my niece on the arm and then dashing back out the window.

My niece was pretty much traumatized, and even today I believe is afraid of old men who act like crazed apes.  My sister was not amused to discover that I had made her daughter afraid of old men who act like crazed apes but I did my best to defend my actions.

“It was just some Halloween fun.”

“It’s July, James.”

Well, there was that. 

My sister then told me that some day I would regret always running around scaring people, which is why I try and stay hidden during Halloween.  There’s nothing more frightening to a person that used to scare people than being scared by people.  Except, maybe, old men who act like crazed apes.

The Joy of Getting Involved

Casey D. Wood

When a service project or volunteer work comes up a great many people inevitably change the conversation or simply leave the room. 

Some do not realize how much they are missing out on by ducking out of these opportunities.  Some see these things as a burden, others see them as a waste of time, and still others see them as being simply too much work.  In reality they are wonderful opportunities for improvement, friendship, and fun. 

Through service projects or volunteer efforts we are able to join with others to get projects done in a shorter amount of time than a single person could.  We are able to strengthen relationships with others, grow to trust one another, and become adept at working as a team.  Due to our involvement, we also have the chance to meet new people and make lasting friendships.  We are also able to gain experience in positions of leadership or organizations and in following through on an event.  We are provided opportunities to share knowledge and experiences we have with others and have the chance to learn or share and teach talents we already. Not only are all of those life lessons learned, and those experiences gained, but because of the time spent we are able to help a person, group or community to improve.

Service isn’t the only type of involvement that can aid us.  It is important to be actively involved in everything we do, to take part in conversations going on around us, and give input on how to solve or overcome issues.  Simply being involved in everyday life is an excellent way to meet new people, opening our minds to becoming a better and more unified culture. 

Through these occasions we gain appreciation for others, and sometimes the course of our life can be altered simply by meeting others with ideas we may have never paused to consider. Recently my brother went to a conference and was able to do just that.  He got involved and talked to many different people.  In doing so he met a man who was able to give him ideas of what to do with his future and ways to accomplish his goals.  There is an innumerable amount of people who, just by being involved, are able to grow and live up to their full potential.

Our unwillingness to be involved or to commit to helping others at times limits us and keeps us from being able to accomplish goals or learn lessons that will help us in our futures.  Service and involvement should be seen as opportunities to become better than what you are. 

Once people realize what they are missing by skipping out on doing these things, they will forever regret their decision.  The next time you’re at a meeting or with a friend and you are asked to get involved, take the plunge and invest your time and effort into something.  If you do, you will never forget it, never regret it, and quite possibly, have fun doing it.

‘Branching Out’ to Discover New Recipes

Kathy Ockey

Marilyn Fauver is like a lot of other people in today’s world, her life just gets busier and busier.   She is a wife, mother, grandmother, working woman and genealogist. Her husband, Phil, provides the produce for her dozens and dozens of bottled fruits and vegetables. 

Marilyn grew up on a ranch in Mancos, Colo.  She said her grandmother let her cook when she was small, but when she cooked worms on her stove she wasn’t very happy about it.

Marilyn said when her family moved to Provo her mother went to work at Tiny Tot making baby bonnets.  Marilyn got home earlier than her mother and it was her job to start cooking dinner for the family.  She did a lot of cooking and learned a lot from this experience.

When Marilyn was a teen her parents moved their family to Provo so their children could go to college at BYU.  Marilyn graduated from high school and attended two years at BYU to become an X-ray technician.  She worked at Utah Valley Hospital and after her marriage to Phil they lived in Prove for one year.  They then moved to American Fork where she was an X-ray technician at American Fork hospital.

Marilyn said when her children were younger she loved to make gingerbread houses for Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and other occasions.  These were not ordinary gingerbread houses but very intricate and difficult projects to create.  She taught classes in making gingerbread houses and also entered one into a Good Housekeeping contest.  She said it took a lot of time, but it was fun.

Marilyn and Phil went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and when it was time to come home they had children living in Emery County and decided to settle here. 
Marilyn said she started working for her son, Jim, at Castle Valley Ranch when it first opened.  She started doing housekeeping in one building and since then they have added two more buildings and five more employees to help her.

She has also been the stake director over indexing and extraction for family history since December of 1998.  “We have extracted a lot of names in that amount of time.”

Marilyn said Phil taught her how to cook macaroni and tomato juice and tuna casserole and they were a mainstay to their eating.   She also said she has many, many boxes of cook books, but when she needs a recipe it is easier to get one on the internet than to try to go through all of the cookbooks.
Marilyn likes to make many different things but when she started making Chinese food she really liked it. Sweet and sour pork is her favorite.  On New Year’s she would make a 12-course meal and invite her family to help enjoy it.  She said lately she cooks a few standard meals but when company comes “I branch out and make a few different dishes.”  
Following are some recipes Marilyn would like to share:

Avid Reader Recommends Cliffhanger

Kathy Ockey

Janie Thompson is from Salt Lake but has lived in Ferron for 13 years.  Her husband’s son lived in Ferron and they relocated to be by him but after they moved, their son had to move away because of his job.  Janie said they like Ferron and the people who live there.  Her husband is a collector and has a large collection of cowboy hats and cars.

Her husband is retired from Western Union Telegraph and Janie worked for Kodak and Fuji in Salt Lake.  She also lived in St. Louis for three years.

Janie said she has read all of her life and her parents got her started going to the library.  She now gets most of her books from the Ferron Library and likes to read at night.  When she starts a book she tells herself that she is going to learn something from it.  She loves to hear about children’s reading programs and developing good reading habits because it teaches them so many things they can use in their lives.  Janie also said she likes anything but science fiction.  She used to really like historical novels but not so much now.  Her favorite reading now is suspense and romance.  She really likes Robert Ludlum and his series of books, but also likes Iris Johansen and Elizabeth Lowell.

Janie read “All She Ever Wanted,” by Barbara Freethy and could hardly put it down.  It is a book about four friends who are going to college.  One of them is murdered and the other three meet again 10 years later to try to find out who killed their sorority sister.  Their reunion brings back memories but also old hurts, and they also reunite with the victim’s brother, Cole.  Janie said the book ends with a surprising twist and that she would recommend this cliff-hanger to everyone.

Vote to Cure Crisis in Leadership

James L. Davis

Election Day is almost, mercifully here.  We will all have the opportunity to let our voices be heard as we elect our leaders not only nationally, but locally as well.  Even as we do so, the fact remains that as a nation we have very little confidence in not only our elected officials, but in all of our leaders.

It is being called a “Crisis in Confidence” by the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Merriman River Group, which conducted a survey on the subject which it published earlier this month as the National Leadership Index 2008.

Key results of the survey found that

“Confidence in the leaders of seven sectors – business, the Executive Branch, Congress, religion, education, the Supreme Court, and state government – fell more sharply in the past year than ever before.”

The only poll showing less approval than President Bush is the approval rating of Congress, which in some polls is in the low teens.  As a nation we are in search of leaders not only for the nation, but at the state and local level as well, and it is a search that for many ends only in frustration.

 The public leadership survey findings revealed that 80 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. faces a leadership crisis.  Yet we continue, for the most part, to reelect the same leaders to serve us.
Perhaps the cause of our crisis in leadership is what we expect from our leaders.  As a nation we have come to expect, to demand of our leaders that they take care of us first and “others” last.  But those “others” are quite often other citizens of the United States.  While as a whole we loathe members of Congress, we adore our own congressmen.  The problem is the “other guy,” not “our guy.”

Until we start electing our leaders to be leaders, not panderers to our every want and desire, we will continue to face a crisis in leadership.  We should be looking for leaders at every level in government, in our jobs, and in our schools that are willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of the cost.
Being a leader requires the resolve and the character to do what is right, even when everyone else thinks it is wrong.  It requires courage, strength, confidence and humility.  As long as we continue to elect leaders based on what we think they will do for us, not what they will do for the country, for the state or for the community, we will continue to have leaders that we can’t count on and have little faith in.

Rumor Control

I am writing this letter to clarify a rumor that has been going around in the county for the past couple of weeks. The rumor involves Laurie Pitchforth, a current candidate for Emery County Commissioner and regards her tenure on the Ferron City Council.  I would like to speak to this rumor. I was serving on the council at the time and served with Laurie.  Laurie was an excellent council member and served her full term.  She represented the city well and for the complete time that she was elected.   

Her term is a public record and anyone who is interested in the truth can have access to the city records just by requesting this information by calling 384-2350 and asking for a copy of the closing minutes for the last year that Laurie served.   I was there and served with Laurie so what I’m saying is not a rumor, it is a fact, as are the minutes from the meetings.

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.

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

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