Groups Answer Call to Service

Food Banks are feeling the crunch of the economic downturn. Though the Emery County Food Bank is still able to assist clients, things are getting tight as they are struggling to help two to three new clients every day.

Kathy Thomas, food bank coordinator reported, “Our client list is increasing. People seem to need a little bit more help.” Though she admitted they are cutting back on the amount of food they give each client because the Utah Food Bank has not had much to give them and in orer to conserve for the busy winter season, she said she is not concerned that they will run out. She said she trusts that “here in Emery County we have a wonderful group of people who help us.”

This past week, there were two examples of the wonderful people Thomas referred to. The Emery High FFA chapter held a school-wide competition to see which class could collect the most coins to donate to the food bank. On Wednesday, they delivered a check for $1,029.26 to the Emery site.
Saturday also marked a special food drive by local scouts. Though the troops usually hold their food drive in the Spring, because of the current state-wide shortage, they held another food drive to help the food bank through the winter.

Thomas explained that the food bank is not set up to provide for the “total needs” of those who come to them for assistance, but they do their best to supplement client’s needs when other help is not enough. Because the food banks are not government operated, they work in cooperation with other programs and rely almost totally on donations.

Thomas said they are in need of “just about everything” at the Emery County facility. She explained that anyone who wants to donate should remember that they cannot handle perishable items and suggested a few things people might not consider donating, such as hygienic items: toilet paper, shampoos and toothpaste. She also stressed that items must be in their original packaging, and reported that they always have a great need for canned meats.

Anyone needing assistance can come into the food bank during operating hours, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from noon to 4 p.m. Their first time, they can receive assistance on the spot according to need. “No one walks away from our doors hungry,” Thomas stressed. Further assistance requires clients to fill out an application and provide proof of income. For clients with other needs, the food bank also works as a referral service to many other local agencies.

In addition to the services offered by the food bank, they are accepting applications for the Sub for Santa program and for those who wish to apply for the HEAT (Home Energy Assistance Target) program. Those interested in applying for the HEAT program can call the food bank to schedule an appointment. Thomas encouraged everyone who could use assistance with heating during the winter to apply for the program revealing, “Guidelines have changed so more people can qualify.”

In fact, this year the program received more funding along with having carryover from last year. To call to make an appointment is 381-5410.

Commission Votes to Support School
District with Resolution

C. Josie Luke

Faced with two options, one that would benefit the county and another that would benefit the school district, the Emery County Commissioners voted to support a resolution to benefit the Emery County School District at a special meeting, held Nov. 5.

The resolution, approving payment elections under the amended and reauthorized Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, was required under Public Law 110-343. Two other resolutions were also passed designating use of the funding.

According to Commissioner Drew Sitterud, the act, providing funding from the U.S. Forest Service based on population and the number of acres of Forest Service lands in the county, has not been fully funded. The amended law provides full funding but requires the county to choose between two options. The first option would not provide the full payment amount, but would not affect the county’s annual payment in lieu of taxes. The second option would provide full funding, giving the school district the greatest potion of the payment, but the county’s PILT would be deducted by that amount.

County Attorney David Blackwell explained the effects each option might have on the entities involved. He and Sitterud also reported that Utah school districts and counties are working with the Utah Legislature to pass legislation which would allow the deducted funding to go to special service districts because the county is not allowed to receive it. They were not sure the law would be retroactive, but were confident the Legislature would be open to such a change.

Sitterud reported the only catch in selecting the second option may occur during the fourth year of funding. Because the payment is made this year and the PILT deduction will come out the following year, the amount granted that year may be less than the PILT deduction, requiring the county to make up the difference. The difference would not be an issue, were the legislature to pass the desired change.

While the commission discussed the required funding percentages under the second option of the resolution, Commissioner Gary Kofford suggested that they simply give the full amount to the school district. Though the suggestion was clearly supported by the other members, it was explained that they were required to split the funding 50/50. Kofford made a motion to support the second option, which was seconded by Sitterud and passed unanimously by the commission.

In the next four years, the school district will now receive approximately $600,000 from the funding. District Superintendant Kirk Sitterud expressed the school districts gratitude for the commission’s decision. “The rural districts have really lobbying hard to get this. We just really appreciate the sentiment of the county commission in support of that for the school district. We certainly support the motion that has been made and we extend our gratitude to the commission for that.”

Since the commission chose to make the resolution selecting the option which will benefit the school district, the county will receive full funding, which will be split between the county and the school district.  As was required by the law, 5 percent will go to fire suppression projects on federal forest lands, 10 percent will go to forest enhancement and a regional advisory council, who will govern how the funding is spent, and the remaining funding will be split between the county and the school district. The county is required to use their funding on road maintenance.

Voter Turnout High in County,
but not as High as Expected

James L. Davis

The 2008 general election came to a close on Nov. 4 and the biggest surprise in the county may have been the voter turnout.  With 6,440 registered voters, 4,517 cast their vote on Nov. 4, for a voter turnout of just over 70 percent, good but not as high as representatives of the Emery County Clerk/Auditor’s office had anticipated.

In 2004 just over 68 percent of the registered voters made their way to the voting booth, but in the 2000 general election more than 73 percent of voters cast their vote.

By district in the county, Clawson Town had the highest percentage of voters turning out to vote, with 84.44 percent of registered voters casting a ballot.  Clawson was followed by Castle Dale District 7 with 80.71 percent and Emery with 78.32 percent.

As for who the majority of Emery County citizens voted for, as would come as no surprise, Republicans continued to receive the most votes for office, with a couple of notable exceptions.

For president John McCain carried the county with 3,338 votes, followed by Barack Obama with 965 votes.  The five other candidates for president split the other 115 votes in the county.

For the U.S. House of Representatives Congressional District 2, Democrat Jim Matheson was the first to show that it is possible for democrats to win in the county when he easily bested his republican challenger Bill Dew.  Matheson received 2.938 votes to Dew’s 1,377.

For governor Jon Huntsman received 3,395 votes for a landslide victory over democratic challenger Bob Springmeyer.

In local representative races Republican David Hinkins received 2,938 votes to beat out Democrat Brad King, who had 1,424 votes for State Senate District 27.  And for State House of Representatives District 70 Kay McIff was reelected with 2,559 votes in the county to his challenger Bevan Bastian’s 602. While Christine Watkins won the election, she did not carry the county.  She received 147 votes compared to Jerry Anderson’s 235 votes for State House of Representatives District 69.

In an election that was embroiled in controversy, Drew Sitterud lost his bid for reelection to the Emery County Commission, losing out to challenger Laurie Pitchforth.  Pitchforth recived 2,165 votes to Sitterud’s 1,791 votes.  Write-in candidate Steve Kemple received 410 votes.  Sitterud, who pled guilty to misappropriation of public funds, was running for his third term as commissioner.

For school board, Sam Singleton won over Janeal Dugmore 534 votes to 385 for District 1; Nanette Tanner won over write-in candidate Rue Ware 768 votes to 80 for District 2; Laurel Johansen won over Mike McCandless 465 votes to 349 in District 3.

CIB Approves Funding for County Projects

The Utah Permanent Community Impact Board approved about $2.5 million in water and road upgrades for Emery County  communities last week.

“These communities have small tax bases, but money is needed now to expedite these projects and keep costs under control. The price of asphalt has stabilized, but is likely to increase in the near future,” said CIB Board Member and Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud.

Among the projects slated to receive funding:
 
$2.5 million was awarded to the Castle Valley Service District for capital improvements in eight cities: Orangeville, Castle Dale, Clawson, Cleveland, Elmo, Emery, Ferron and Huntington. Some of the money - $970,000 - will come as a grant. The remaining $1.5 million was approved as a low-interest loan to be repaid over five years. Improvements include a rebuild of city streets, curbs, gutters, storm drains, and construction of new sewer lines and water lines.

Another $2 million in the form of a grant was awarded to San Juan County for phase II and III of the Lisbon Valley Road project. Combined with $3 million in county and federal dollars, the funds will enable the county to complete the project sooner and for less money.

The Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns and counties impacted by mining and the extraction of oil and gas on federal land. Most of the money benefits rural Utah and is spent creating safer, more liveable communities. The program is managed by the Division of Housing and Community Development under the Utah Department of Community and Culture.

County Signs Agreement on
Green River Industrial Complex

C. Josie Luke

With a mix of relief and excitement, Emery County Economic Development Director Mike McCandless reported that Emery County’s lease agreement with the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration for the Green River Industrial Park is complete.

McCandless has been spearheading the project for over 18 months and is excited to finally have a signed document. “We’re thrilled to be at this point,” he expressed.

He reported that Jeff Horrocks, the chair of the County Commission signed the document on Nov. 6, executing the agreement that has been so long in coming. “Emery County has signed the agreement with SITLA and we’re moving to the next stages of the process,” he said.

McCandless was excited to report that the county can now fully involve Green River City in the planning and design of the industrial park. Referring to the city McCandless explained, “They can now step in the ball park and be really involved.” He said they will welcome input from Green River citizens and the city, including the planning and zoning committee.

With the signing, the county can also engage in negotiations with interested companies. The agreement entails that Emery County will lease the land and market it so interested companies can buy. McCandless related that they will now “work quickly to get interested tenants, including Mancos Resources, to sign property purchase agreements.” McCandless explained that Mancos Resources has already publicized their desire to purchase property at the site to operate a uranium mill. He also said that they are currently in talks with a recycling company, a “very large” manufacturing facility and a couple of oil and gas related businesses.

In all, he said they are “still negotiating with 11 different entities which have some level of interest.” He spoke specifically of one “very very large company” from the East that wants to have a site in the West. He said the talks have been “on again, off again,” but they are now “on again” for the project which could bring in 200-300 jobs.

Castle Dale Students Cast their own Votes

Kathy Ockey

Castle Dale Elementary School students held their own election on Oct. 29.  They used the same ballot used in the General Election and also voted for the same candidates the general public voted for.  Sixth grade teacher, Tanie Worthen, supervised the election and used the same procedures as in a real election.

The students registered to vote on Oct. 27 and when they voted their names were checked to make sure they had registered correctly. 

 “This was a very good lesson and learning experience for the children.  They learned a lot about the voting process and the regulations that are involved in it,” Worthen said.

Castle Dale Elementary results were:

John McCain 107, Barack Obama 29; Jon Huntsman 61, Bob Springmeyer 28; Bill Dew 46, Jim Matheson 20; David Hinkins 46, Brad King 38; Drew Sitterud 26, Laurie Pitchforth 22; Laurel Johansen 36, Mike McCandless 22.

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.

While the football team struggled
at times, their efforts and
successes are worth cheering

C. Josie Luke

Anyone who watches football knows that games can turn on a single play. No matter how hard a team works to win, sometimes the chips don’t fall their way. Sometimes luck isn’t on their side, sometimes they get down early and can’t climb back out, and sometimes their opponent is just better.

The Emery football team obviously tried hard this season, but they were dissatisfied with the outcome. With a season record of 4-6 and a loss in the first round of the state playoffs, the result may have been disappointing for some players and fans, but, though Coach Jimmy Jones thought their record could have been better, he was pleased with the effort of his team. “Overall, this year, I thought the kids tried as hard as they could,” he said.

There were those games that seemed to slip away. “As I look back on the season, I look at that Uintah game and the North Sanpete game, and I think we had so many opportunities to win those games,” Jones said. “I guess if we could have won those games, we would have finished the season with a winning record, which I think would have been really good, but it didn’t happen.”

There were also games players will not soon forget. Jones continued, “There’ve also been some bright spots. The win against Desert Hills in overtime was a really exciting game, beating Carbon was an exciting game for us, and the seniors beating Salem Hills in the last home game was great for them.”
The Spartans began the season with losses to Grand and Canyon View, 27-14 and 23-13. They then rebounded with the exciting overtime win against Desert Hills, 20-14, and a blowout win in their first home game of the season against American Leadership Academy, 34-0. After losing their second overtime game 20-21 to Uintah, they faced their long-time rival Carbon.  The Spartans crushed the Dinos, 41-7.

Emery next faced games against two power house teams, Juan Diego and Delta, losing both, 41-6 and 40-7, but halted Delta’s streak of shutouts against in-state opponents. Emery lost their third strait to North Sanpete, by a close, heartbreaking score of 21-20. In their last home game against Salem Hills, the Spartans played perhaps their best game, crushing the Skyhawks, 46-20. Then, in their first round of the playoffs, they lost to Park City, 41-7.

The record may have not been what the team had hoped, but the games proved to be exciting for those fans that followed the team through their ups and downs this year.

Though whether Jones will coach next year is still up in the air because of his move to Canyon View Junior High, he expressed he would love to coach again. He is excited by the caliber of players who are coming back. “We have some great players coming back. I am hesitant to name players because I will forget someone, but there are some great juniors, and I think we have a really good sophomore class. It’s just so hard to tell. With kids, they just change so much year to year.  I think we’ve got some potential to have some pretty good teams the next few years.”

The captains for the 2008 team were Chance Ariotti, Drew Bohn, Gatlan Huntington and Colby Snow. The seniors were: John Conder, Gatlan Huntington, Cameron Hansen, Colby Snow, Jaydon Mead, Chance Ariotti, Dalton Judd, Taylor Behling, Drew Bohn, Josey Johnson, Kameron Stilson, Greg Howes, Jaron Bennion, Sheridan Oviat and Vern Kofford.

Volleyball team improves
on last year’s record

James L. Davis

At the beginning of the volleyball season Coach Kris Bell had a simple goal for her girls – win some region games.

In the previous year the team had been shutout in region matches and overcoming that psychological hurdle and pulling out some wins was the first order of business.

At the beginning of the season it seemed that the Lady Spartans had even bigger plans than that as they played well in non-region play, putting together both good offense and good defense to win some games and build confidence.  But when region play started, the girls seemed to stumble and struggled to hold their own.

“At the first of the season they were so on and then I don’t know what happened.  It was mental.  They have all the talent in the world, but they didn’t believe in themselves,” Bell said at the end of a season they didn’t end the way they had hoped, but ended better than the previous year.

With a final record of 8-12 overall and a region record of 2-6, the Lady Spartans did qualify for state, and while they were quickly knocked out of the state tournament, they had the chance to play and compete.  Despite a disappointing season, Bell said the team never stopped trying.
“All of our seniors stepped up when they needed to,” Bell said.

On a high note, the Lady Spartan’s Keera Allred was recognized as Academic All-State, maintaining her 4.0 grade point average.

The 2008 Lady Spartan Volleyball Team was:

Seniors: Keera Allred, Sierra Bridgewater, Jodi Robertson, Frankie Komar, and ShiAnne Allred. Juniors: Nikki Rogers, Kristiann Grange, Tiffany Tuttle, Jenni Stinson, Michele Oliver, Abbie Kay, Danavin Reed and Shawnee Allred. Sophomores: Tayler Jewkes, Jessica Murray, Adrie Huntington, Markette Tanner, Tealin Miller, Taylor Mann, Makiah Sherman, Brooke Jensen and Courtney Tuttle.  Freshman: Mandy Davis, Whitney Roper.

A Proof of Hope

James L. Davis

As my daughter was going through an old box of photographs I had pulled from one of our closets, she held up a photograph of a young man.

“Is that you?”  She asked.

“Think so.”

“What’s that look on your face?”  she laughed.

“That would be a look of hope.”

“You never look like that.”

I patted her on the back and fished for more photographs.  “Not anymore.”

That is the really amazing thing about old photographs, they remind you that once upon a time you had hopes and dreams and all that other silly nonsense you gave up for reality when you grew up. 

It’s the one thing I like about boxes full of old photographs and the one thing I don’t like about computers full of old photographs.  You can pull out a box of old photographs, dump them on the floor and have a trip down memory lane with your kids.  Gathering around the computer to click through old photographs just isn’t the same.

Sure, there are a lot of photographs in that old box that I can’t figure out why they were taken or why we’ve held onto them.  For instance, someone in my family seems to have a foot fetish, because there are an awful lot of pictures of someone’s feet in our photo box.  You can see the feet quite plainly, but the rest of the photograph is a blur.  And the feet aren’t pretty, so I’m fairly sure someone has been taking snapshots of my feet over the years.

Of course, that’s not the only thing you can learn from a box of old photographs.  I learned from old photographs that I was abused as a young boy.  I hadn’t been aware of this fact and had actually convinced myself that I had a good childhood, until I realize that I was brainwashed into believing such a thing.  Because going through old photographs at my parents’ house I noticed a disturbing trend.  In virtually every picture I appeared to be screaming.  Not only that, but in the background of the pictures where I appear to be screaming you can see quite clearly the image of my big brother coming after me with something in his hands: a bat, a stick, a crowbar, a chain saw, or other assorted instruments that can be used to cause trauma to a little brother’s body.  I’m going to have my attorney take a look at the photographs to determine if a lawsuit might be in order not only for my older brother, but for whomever it was taking the picture of me about to be abused instead of trying to stop it.
I also learned from old photographs that my little brothers seemed to enjoy their childhood far more than I did.  In almost every picture of the two of them, they are laughing and happy and there is no one in the background preparing to beat them over the head with a blunt instrument.

My daughter handed me another photograph.  “Is that you when you were a baby?”

“Think so,” I said.

“You’re naked.  You can see your butt.”

“Yes I am, yes you can, and my butt looks nothing like that anymore.”

Which brings up another question about my childhood: exactly who was taking all of these photographs and why weren’t they putting clothes on me instead of taking pictures? Because in the pictures where I wasn’t screaming because I was about to be beaten, I was almost invariably naked.  I was not aware that I was at one time an exhibitionist, but apparently I was because there is a great deal of photographic evidence detailing my visits to state parks, grocery stores and wedding receptions without any visible sign of clothing.

Looking through my parents’ box of old photographs of their early years I discovered that in the old days everyone wore clothing, and a lot of it.  I also discovered that in the old days my father had more than two or three facial expressions.  I asked him about a couple of photographs I came across where he looked, well different.

“Is this a photograph of you Dad?” I asked.

“Think so,” he said.

“What’s that look on your face?”

My dad patted me on the back.  “That would be a look of hope son,” he said.

Which Company Should I Use for Email?

Casey Wood

In the world we live in, which is now so technologically advanced, it is almost required that you have an email address, but you may find yourself asking “What company should I use for email?”  Here are the features offered by three different major free-emailing servers, Hotmail, Yahoo!, and Gmail.

Hotmail, also known as Windows Live Mail, is provided by Microsoft and was one of the earliest free emailing services available on the net.  Hotmail debuted in 1996 and was purchased by Microsoft in 1997.  Windows Live offers 5 gigabytes of storage space, advanced security settings which allow you to choose how strict or lax your security system will be in detecting and removing junk mail, a customizable layout that allows you to pick the colors of your inbox, a 10 megabyte attachment allowance, and the ability to select a classic view with check boxes and traditional email design, or the full view (also called an AJAX view) that is similar to Outlook, with drag and drop and a side column to switch between messages.  Hotmail uses a folder filing system to manage emails, and you can either check a box beside the message or messages and move them to a folder, move messages to a folder while viewing them, or simply drag and drop the email in the folder of your choosing.  The mailing service is also integrated with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Spaces, Windows Live Calendar and Windows Live Contacts.  Hotmail has over 260 million users and is available in 35 different languages.

Yahoo! is another emailing server available.  Yahoo! joined the free-emailing service race in 1997.  Yahoo! offers unlimited storage space to its users, 10 megabyte attachment allowance, a spam and virus blocker, search capabilities so users can navigate between emails by simply searching for a word contained in a certain message, keyboard shortcuts, Yahoo! Calendar integration, Yahoo! Messenger integration, Windows Live Messenger integration, and like Windows Live Mail, a choice between a new drag and drop (AJAX) look and feel, or the traditional “classic” look.  The Yahoo! spam and virus blocker works differently than the Windows Live spam services.  The Yahoo! system, using a number of prerequisites, select emails which it believes are spam and automatically moves them to the ‘Bulk’ folder.  Yahoo! uses a folder filing system similar to Windows Live.  All three methods used by Windows to move an email can be used in Yahoo!  Yahoo! serves, like Windows Live, over 260 million users.

The newest of the three emailing services mentioned in this article, Gmail, by Google, did not join the race until 2004, as a beta service, and at that point it was available by invitation only.  Gmail opened up to the general public in 2007, and to this day remains in beta status.  Gmail offers approximately 7200 megabytes (roughly 7 GB) of storage space, and the amount of free storage space is continually increasing.  The maximum attachment size for an email in the Gmail service is 20 megabytes.  Gmail has a search oriented user interface and also utilizes an AJAX-like view.  Emails in the Gmail web service are similar to forums.  Gmail has a unique ‘Gmail Labs’ system where users are given the opportunity to test new experimental Gmail features, ranging from keyboard shortcuts to games.  Gmail’s spam and virus system scans all outgoing and incoming emails for viruses and corrupted attachments, along with advertisements and automatically places those emails in a ‘Spam’ folder.  Rather than using a folder filing system, Gmail uses an archiving filing system.  Emails can be selected and ‘archived.’  A user can then choose to navigate through the archive folder in search of an email, or use the search bar to look for words in emails or contact information and give a list of emails using those, similar to the Yahoo! search system.

There is not necessarily a best or worst company, and there are more than the three mentioned in this article, and therefore there is not a simple, straightforward answer to the original question.  Each emailing system has pros and cons, but depending on your specific needs and interests, chances are there is a service, somewhere out there that is just for you.  If none of these three services seems right for you, fear not, because there are many more options out there and with a little research, you’re sure to find one that is.

Dessert Lover Shares Some of Her Secrets

Kathy Ockey

Carol Stilson has got to be the most cheerful person I know.  She always has a smile on her face and a very positive attitude.  Every time you walk into Cottonwood Elementary she makes you feel very welcome.

Carol was born in Salt Lake City, but her family moved around a lot.  She attended three different high schools, which was difficult for her.  She said she had to learn to put herself out there to make friends, and this has helped her throughout her life.

Carol met Richard Stilson at a young single adult party and they married in 1973. They have five children who are all grown and live away from home, but they come back often to visit. Carol said, “I don’t cook like I used to, but when the kids come home I cook a lot.  I always make homemade Oreos because they love them.”

Carol was hesitant to talk about her first impression of Orangeville.  She arrived during the winter when there had been a thaw and there was mud everywhere.  She said she remembered walking on planks to get into homes because the roads were so muddy.  She said she thought, “How could anyone live in a place like this?  Now I love it.”  She said Richard’s mom, Loa Stilson, was instrumental in helping her make friends.  “Her friends were my friends and they all made me feel welcome,” she said.

Carol has been the secretary at Cottonwood Elementary in Orangeville for 29 years and said she loves her job working with the faculty and children. 

“I wish my grandchildren attended school here, but they don’t so I treat all of the kids like they are my grandchildren.  I want this to be a safe, loving environment for them,” she said.

Carol enjoys cooking, and she especially likes to make pies.  She makes them almost every weekend from fall to winter.  She usually makes pumpkin pie because that is Richard’s favorite, but she said she loves all kinds of desserts.

Following are some of Carol’s delicious recipes that she thinks everyone would enjoy:

Turkey or Chicken Casserole

2 packages frozen chopped broccoli placed on bottom of 9 by 12 inch pan.
Top with cubed (cooked) chicken or turkey.
Cover with 2 cans cream of chicken soup, 1 soup can of canned milk, 1 cup of real mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon season-all salt.  Top with shredded cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes.  Serve over cooked wide noodles.

Poppyseed Chicken

1 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup (2 cans for more gravy)
4-5 cooked diced chicken breast
Mix together and put into a 9 inch by 12 inch pan.
Crush 1 package graham crackers (or corn flakes) and mix with 1/4 - 1 cup butter or margarine
Spread over top of chicken
Sprinkle with poppy seeds.  Bake at 350 degrees until sauce boils.  Serve over angel hair pasta.

Blueberry Dessert
(One of my family’s favorites – Loa’s recipe)

24 graham crackers
1 square of margarine (melted)
Mix crackers and margarine to make crust and put 2/3 in bottom of 9 by 12 inch pan.
Beat 2 envelopes dream whip according to package instructions.
Mix 1 cup sugar and 1 8 ounce package of cream cheese and add to whipped dream whip.
Put 1/2 of mixture on cracker crust.  Spread 1 can blueberry pie filling over top of whipped cream mixture.  Slice three bananas on top of this.  Spread remainder of cream cheese mixture over bananas.  Sprinkle top with remaining cracker crust. 
Refrigerate for three hours before serving.

Chocolate Trifle
(This looks very pretty in a glass bowl)

1 package chocolate fudge cake mix
1 package (6 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
6 Heath bars, crushed
Bake cake according to package directions.  Cool. Prepare pudding according to package directions.  Set aside. Crumble cake and reserve 1/2 cup.  Place half of the remaining cake crumbs in the bottom of a 4 1/2 or 5 quart trifle dish or decorative glass bowl.  Layer with half of the pudding, half of the whipped topping and half of the crushed candy bars.  Repeat the layers of cake, pudding and whipped topping.  Combine remaining crushed candy bars with reserved cake crumbs; sprinkle over top.  Refrigerate for 4-5 hours before serving.

‘Bringing Elizabeth Home’
Tells Story of Hope and Family

Kathy Ockey

Amanda Heaton was born and raised in Salt Lake and went to school in Cedar City.  She met her husband, Ben, at school, and after they graduated they made their way to Emery County. 

Amanda said she is amazed at how many people move to Emery County and find relatives living here.  She is also surprised how so many people can come back here and find employment and housing.  Her husband has several relatives that live in this area. He works at Emery Telcom.

Amanda is a very busy wife and mother of three children ages 6, 4, and 18 months. She likes to read as much as she can, but it has to be either at night or early in the morning.  She doesn’t have a favorite genre; she just loves to read a good book.
Amanda said her family enjoys being outside rock climbing, camping and river rafting, and their small children also enjoy learning how to do these things.  She and her husband enjoy kayaking, but they can’t take the kids with them until they grow older.

Amanda said a friend gave her the book “Bringing Elizabeth Home” by Ed and Elizabeth Smart, and she wasn’t sure if she would enjoy reading it.  After she started she said she found it was an inspiring book and also intriguing in that the family lived through this experience by their faith and charity for others. 

“We are all faced with adversity, and we can either become better or bitter.  We have to choose.  It would be easy to become bitter,” Amanda said.

“Bringing Elizabeth Home” is the story of the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart and the nightmare that not only her family went through, but the whole world’s reactions to the kidnapping and the concern that was shown during the terrible ordeal.
It is the story of the hope, strong faith and trust in God that carried the Smart family through the nightmare.  When Elizabeth was found and returned home, the Smarts realized there was nothing more important in the world than family.  They said it was the family, the prayers of friends and strangers, and trust in God that got them through the experience.  Though their story has many ups and downs and disappointments, their only goal was what was most important: bringing Elizabeth home.   
“Being a mother, I can’t think of anything worse than having a child kidnapped.  Elizabeth’s mother was amazing, she still had other children and had to continue to function and be there for them.  She had a lot of faith to be able to cope with all of it, and she is a real example to all other mothers,” Amanda said.

Amanda said she not only learned a lot about the Smart family but about people in general and the importance of families and the love they have for one another. 

“The Smarts are a real example to all of us,” she said.

On Being an Election Judge

C. Josie Luke

When I registered to vote earlier in the year in time for the primary elections, I made a choice I ended up questioning later on. A well meaning county employee asked me if I would serve as an election judge, and being a rather naive person, considering doing such a thing to be my patriotic duty, I said yes.

Though I received no call to serve during the primary election, in late September this well meaning employee asked me if I still wanted to help out. Possibly I should have suspected something from the fact that she asked again rather than just instructing me on where to be at what time, but my patriotism, and possibly guilt at disappointing this employee, caused me to respond affirmatively.  Then I received a letter inviting me to a training session in October.

Though I didn’t respond to the letter as I was asked to—maybe subconsciously I was beginning to suspect a trap, or maybe it’s just that I am often irresponsible—the county employee asked me if I was coming, and again I said yes.

The training was not difficult. The voting machine was like a simple version of an online college exam, there were really nice people there who complimented my writing, and they served fruit with dip. It was just a rather simple way to get out of working for a few hours. But there were also hints of what might be coming.

For one, I was a little out of place. Though I really liked those with whom I attended the training, it was difficult not to notice that most of those who attended could be my parents if not my grandparents. The other hint came when a fellow judge told me in no uncertain terms that our goal was to “stay out of the paper!” Now, what fun would it be if I couldn’t at least write about it! (As I sit here writing, I am fully expecting a few phone calls once this is published.)

The final, rather obvious hint should have been the horrifyingly awful time I had to be at the polling place—6 a.m. Still, I thought it might be a fun experience.

So the night before I planned on going to bed at a very early hour, hoping that it might be easier to get up in the morning. But though I had good intentions, I still only managed about four and a half hours sleep that night and was 10 minutes late the next morning. Making it worse was the fact that all five of the other judges were on time! For all I know, they were probably early just to see what time I’d manage to get out of bed.

That morning we had our first attempted voter enter the Huntington City Hall at 6:30 a.m. They had to send him away. I thought that there might just be one of them, but at 6:45 they began appearing; first just a few, and then a few grew to many, forming our first line. This excited me, but it made the more experienced judges nervous.

As we set up for the 14 hour day ahead of us, I was given the job of programming the cards that make the ballots appear “magically” on the voting touch screen. Though at first this seemed ideal-- after all, the job was easy-- it also became slightly menial. The other two judges in my precinct didn’t have difficult jobs either; they just signed people in to vote; or at least that’s what I thought.

The line grew to 15 before we could officially allow them to vote and stayed that way for the first hour. In fact, the morning was quite busy with those who wanted to get it out of the way, and those who had to work later. It then dropped off for a little while before picking up again.

Oddly, at least to me, the lunch hour proved to be possibly the slowest time of the day. I figured that people would take the chance to vote during their lunch break, but that is probably what those who stayed away feared too.

Though the lines had not yet reached their maximum, you could have fooled me by the stress my fellow judges seemed to be under. They were so set on not making a mistake (and not being in the newspaper) that I felt like they would fragment if the numbers were off. They thought they might be off a couple of times, and I was secretly intrigued by what would happen if they were. Maybe they knew what was coming and felt the need to keep the stress level high so that later in the day they wouldn’t have to adjust their heightened level.

I also found that there was a bit of competitiveness between the two precincts in the city hall. Though it was never extremely hostile, the ladies managed to provide me with real-life examples of passive-aggressive behavior. I had learned of this phenomenon in my psychology courses, but the day proved to be chock full of such amazing case studies.

I was probably quite a case-study myself, miraculously staying quite energetic throughout the day. I was also constantly excited by the numbers of people who were coming in to vote. In fact, I often made my fellow judges report the numbers to me so I could divide and find out the percentage of registered voters who had voted during the day.

The afternoon proved to be fairly steady, but it was not until approximately 4:30 p.m. that the really long lines began to form. It was then that I was grateful for those ladies who had been through such a circumstance before. All that was required of me was to push the card into the card programmer, press a button, and hand the programmed card along with an “I voted” sticker to each person who went through our line.  

I also took on the job of encouraging those in the line to be friendly, occasionally requesting, “Will ya’ll move as close together as you can?” When I did not do so promptly, my judging leader quietly prompted, “Will you do it again?”

The line stayed quite long until about 30 minutes before the polls were set to close, but we still had excited citizens strolling in until we were forced to close promptly at 8 p.m. I left 20 minutes later, pleased that we hadn’t made a mistake, and exhausted from the long day.

Though I will admit my day as an election judge was not the most exciting or “fun” day I have ever had, I did not make a mistake in agreeing to take part in one of the most patriotic and empowering events we have in our country. I learned respect for my new stressed out friends, and I was proud as I calculated those percentages, realizing that over 70 percent of those who were registered to vote took advantage of their right as citizens of this country. It made me less cynical, and it made me proud to live in a place where I can have a say in what happens in my country. Hopefully, I’ll be there again next year.

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.
