Small Circus, Big Thrills

As circuses go, the Astillita Circus is not very big, having just six or seven performers and animals which would most often be seen on a farm, but those who attended the circus as it stopped in Huntington May 29, 30, and 31, were treated to a charming performance geared especially toward children.

Juan Raul Rodriguez, circus owner and ring master, started the circus eight years ago, after working with the Ringling Brothers Circus for many years. With a heavy Hispanic accent he said, “I decided the children needed a show for them. Nothing that would scare them. They have to be comfortable watching the show.”

His performers, four clowns, three of whom must have been in their 60s, a woman who served as a very awkward magician’s assistant, a juggler who also worked with the equine performers and a couple of stage hands, along with a group of six ponies, six sheep dogs, a few goats and a huge gray horse, produced a performance that delighted and also involved the children who attended.

From the ponies, who were trained to prance around the ring while staying in line, the sheep dogs who, like children, fought each other to slide down a tube to the floor, a magician whose assistant gave away the secret to every one of his tricks, to the many usual circus antics, the circus was an hour and a half of fun.

Emery County loses position for economic incentives

Josie Luke

A small revision made to a bill late in the 2008 Legislative session has put Emery County in a difficult position to bringing in new businesses. The change made in House Bill 20 on economic incentives replaced the way annual wages were calculated from “median wage of a community” to “average wage of a community.”

Now, instead of the annual wage of the county being calculated as $22,498, the 13th lowest in the state, the wage is calculated at $38, 973, a difference of nearly $16,500, or 73 percent, which puts Emery County near the top, along with Summit and other more metropolitan counties, which have very different economies.

Emery County Economic Development Director Mike McCandless expressed his frustration saying, “I’m not quite sure why they felt it was necessary to make the change. It came through the Legislature kind of late in the session. It didn’t have any immediately identifiable financial impacts. And so when it got passed, we were a little concerned because we hadn’t had time to look at what the impacts were.”

McCandless said that since they have had a chance to look through the numbers and what it can potentially do to the county, they discovered that the formula moves Emery County from the bottom of the pile to the top of the pile, as to those counties that have the highest wage.

“Where it really hurts us is if we’re competing against another Utah community, we end up in a very unfavorable position, because a person who is looking at coming here actually has to pay a much higher wage to qualify for the incentives. That’s going to make us less attractive for potential employers. That’s why we’re frustrated with this bill,” he said.

McCandless explained that because of the large number of people in counties like Emery, who work in mining and utility companies, the new calculation “skews” the numbers. “When you do an average, you take all of those wages and divide it by the number of people. With the median, you’re looking at the wages themselves, rather than the number of people. So, if you have a big group of people who have a high wage, which we do because of the power plants and the coal mines, that skews that number,” McCandless said.“Basically any of your rural counties with an extractive industry base will now be unfairly represented in the process. There is probably now no chance for us to qualify for state incentives under this formula. I think this new system is a real disservice to rural Utah.”

He did qualify his remarks saying, “I don’t want to overstate the problem, we don’t succeed in getting a lot of these programs, but we have gotten some.”

Another problem that he sees is if the average wage is used, the assumption is being made that if a new business is recruited to the area, they will pay the same wage that existing businesses are paying, which McCandless maintains, “makes no sense.”

“You’re not going to bring somebody in and have them make the same wage as someone who has been working at the power plant for 30 years. Median just looks at everybody making wages and basically says, this is the midpoint of everyone making wages,” he said. 

He said that the county is also frustrated by the timing of the change. “What’s frustrating about the timing of this is that as a result of Crandall Canyon, Governor Huntsman had basically told the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and other people, ‘We want you to do everything you can to help Carbon and Emery counties; at the same time this bill gets passed, which basically discriminates against Carbon, Emery and Millard counties,” he revealed.

McCandless said he had discussed the issue with legislators and the board of GOED, but revealed, “Frankly, we don’t hold a lot of hope that much can be done until the next legislative session, and that’s assuming that we can get their support.”

In the short-term, he said, “What we would hope is that we can get the GOED Board to make rules, they can’t change the law, but they can adjust the rules, so that we are not negatively impacted on this, until the Legislature has a chance to revisit it.”

American Legion honors fallen veterans
with number of Memorial Day programs

Josie Luke

The American Legion Huntington Post 93 and the Legion Auxiliary drew members of the Elmo, Cleveland, Lawrence and Huntington communities together on Memorial Day to honor veterans who have given their lives in serving the United States.

Beginning in Elmo at 10 a.m., the Legion held their program at town cemeteries, which continued in Cleveland at 10:45, in Lawrence at 11:20 and finally in Huntington at noon. Ray Quinn was pleased with the community turnout.

Since he became District 5 Commander and Commander of American Legion Post 73, Quinn has made the Memorial Day program a yearly event. “When I became commander, that was one of the things that I set out to do, was to put one of the memorial stones in every cemetery and to hold the Memorial Day program,” he said.

“As a veteran myself, of the Korean War, I feel like that’s the very least we can do for those who gave their lives. Remember that freedom isn’t free. It comes at a high price. We owe our veterans everything.”

Quinn, began the program stating, “Comrades, this day is sacred with the almost physical presence of those who have gone before us. We honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the service of their country, and of those who have dropped their burdens by the wayside of life and have gone on to their eternal rest.

“May the ceremonies of today deepen your reverence for our departed friends and comrades. Let us renew our pledge of loyalty to our country and its flag. Let us resolve by word and deed to emphasize the privilege and duty of patriotism.”

A member of the Auxiliary then read “In Flanders Fields,” and Legion member Blake Jones accompanied by Eldon Holmes on guitar performed “Ragged Old Flag.” A gun salute and trumpet call of Taps followed.

Orangeville community set to celebrate

The Orangeville community will celebrate Orangeville Days June 6-7 with a variety of events scheduled to entertain and celebrate the town, its people and way of life.

City organizers have been working to create a celebration that has a little something for everyone.  The evening of June 6 the Orangeville Youth City Council is planning a movie in the park, and everyone is invited to stretch out on the lawn of the City Park and watch a movie projected on the back of the Old Firehouse Community Center.  With a state-of-the-art sound system in the new community center, the movie should prove to be a treat for everyone.

The major celebration takes place on June 7 and begins with the first ever Orangeville Dash 5K Fun Run that will begin at 6:30 a.m. in front of the Old Firehouse Community Center on Main Street.  The run will weave through the town and end back at the park.  Entry fee is $5 and all runners will receive a T-shirt and breakfast in the park.  At 7 a.m. the Boy Scouts of Orangeville will conduct a flag ceremony. Breakfast will be served in the park by members of the city council from 7-9 a.m.  Cost for breakfast is $2 per plate.

The Orangeville Days Parade will begin at 10 a.m. and this year the Orangeville Grand Marshall is David Brinkerhoff.  Brinkerhoff recently returned from duty in Iraq, where he served for nine months.
Brinkerhoff was born in Munich, Germany and adopted by Richard and Zola Brinkerhoff.  With his father in the military, he had the opportunity to travel and live in many different places.  His high school years were spent in Bicknell, Utah.
In 1985 he married Joan Stevens and together they have four children: Wesley, who is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Nashville; Melissa, who will attend the College of Eastern Utah; Kellie, who will be a senior this year at Emery High; and Natasha, who will be a junior this year at Emery High.

Brinkerhoff enlisted in the Navy in 1983 and was active duty for 10 years, then took a 10 year break and reenlisted in October 2001 in the Navy Reserves following 9-11.

When he is not serving the country in the military he is a Utah Highway Patrolman.  Dave, Joan and their family have lived in Orangeville for 13 years.

Following the parade there will be games in the park starting at 11 a.m. and an ATV Poker Ride beginning at 11 a.m. as well.

Beginning at 1 p.m. inside the Old Firehouse Community Center there will be a Guitar Hero competition for gaming enthusiasts with big prizes for winners in all three difficulty levels. There will be a $2.50 registration fee for Guitar Hero and the competition will continue until a Guitar Hero king or queen is crowned.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day and at 5 p.m. the always favorite Humphrey Lamb Fry will take place.  Fireworks will top off the evening at dusk.  The Orangeville community invites everyone to take part in celebrating Orangeville Days.

Ferron City wrestles with easement issues

James L. Davis

The Ferron City Council discussed the need to develop a policy regarding procedures for obtaining easements and right-of-ways for city projects during its May 22 meeting.

The discussion stemmed from the need to obtain an easement as part of city drainage planned for the city this summer.  One area of the project requires an easement for property owned by George Conover on Canyon Road.

Conover owns 10 acres of land in the area off of Canyon Road and 2nd West and the city project requires a right-of-way across the entire frontage of his property for a drainage system. 

During the meeting Mayor Gil Conover said that for the right-of-way George Conover was requesting two sewer connections and two water connections from the city, plus road access to his property that would be sufficient for him to drive heavy farm equipment across. For most of the project the drainage system would be able to stay within the footprint of the old Molen canal.

Members of the council expressed concern that providing the water and sewer connections to Conover would set a precedent that would be too costly for the city.  Mayor Conover indicated that there were options available to the council and explained that when the new sewer ponds were being developed for the city an independent appraiser had been given the task of determining the individual market value of each required easement and the city made an offer to the property owner based on those values.  He suggested that such a policy might be something for the council to consider.

Councilman Ronny Bloomer made a motion to not accept the original proposal for the easement made by George Conover and the council agreed unanimously.

The council eventually voted unanimously to obtain appraisals on any future right of way or easement requirements required for Ferron City or Castle Valley Special Service District projects.

May Conover said he was uncomfortable negotiating agreements on behalf of the city for such matters because he was not a voting member of the council.  The city council voted unanimously to appoint Joe Trenery as the council member to negotiate any further easement or right-of-way requirements.

Disease major obstacle in cow-calf operations

Glen L. Jensen, DVM

Disease represents a major obstacle to the profitability of many cow-calf operations.  Animal death, failure or decreased efficiency in reproduction, and decreases in growth and productivity may all be the result of disease.  Losses may also never be observed, these problems come about as “subclinical disease” and may quietly rob the cow-calf operator of profits.  Healthy cattle may also have a higher value at the time of sale, and be more uniform in size.

Treatment of many cattle diseases can be quite expensive and very unrewarding.  Production losses may often occur before disease is able to be diagnosed and treated.  Herd health programs should be designed to provide routine, planned procedures which will prevent or minimize disease.

Herd health programs may fail if there is too much reliance put on vaccinations and other treatments.  Vaccinations  are an important tool, but not a cureall.  Effective programs integrate medicine and management to prevent disease.  A producer  may want to consider three important areas in a herd health program.

1-            Prevent Exposure to Disease.  Do not bring disease to your herd through replacements.  This may be a baby calf, replacement heifer, or a bull that is to be used for breeding.  Purchasing and quarantine procedures should be used to decrease the likelihood of disease introduction.  Operations with increase concentration of livestock may need more intensive preventive programs.

2-            Keep Disease Resistance High.  Nutrition, management, and housing programs should be designed to help decrease stress and keep resistance to disease high at all times.  In Emery and Carbon counties there are many areas where due to high sulfur and alkali, our cattle become copper deficient.  These elements bind and “tie up” copper so that it is not available to the animal.  Low copper levels can lead to decreased immune status and decreased reproductive performance.  Resistance to specific diseases can sometimes be accomplished by vaccination.

3-            If Disease Occurs, Prevent its Spread. Segregate affected animals immediately.  Have a diagnosis made, and take recommended action as soon as possible.

Herd health programs must be tailored to each individual production situation.  Handling cattle is stressful, time consuming, and may be expensive, therefore the benefits gained must outweigh the costs.  Veterinarians are trained in herd health management and keep up to date on current deseases, treatments and prevention measures.  If is important to have a veterinarian involved with tailoring heard health programs.

Herd health programs and other cattle management procedures work best with calving is confined to a 60 – 90 day period.  Short calving periods will also help control diseases like trichomoniasis which has been prevalent in our area for far too long; it also adds value to calves because they are more uniform.  Most programs will be based on handling cows and calves twice a year and calves at birth.  There are times when cattle may need to be handled more often.

Pre-breeding  management of cows includes reproductive vaccines Leptospirosis, Vibriosis, IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV; parasite control, checking identification, eyes, teeth , feet , legs and udders.  Bulls should receive the same vaccines and have a thorough Breeding Soundness Examination.

Pre-weaning cows are diagnosed for pregnancy, eyes, teeth, feet, legs, and udders checked, treated for parasites, check identification and scours vaccines may be appropriate.

Newborn calf (24 hours old): disinfect navel, identify, vitamin A&D injection, and in some cases 7 or 8 way clostridial vaccine.  Bull calves may be castrated and dehorning may be done.

Mid-nursing (2 – 6 months old calves): Vaccination with 7 or 8-way clostridial vaccine, respiratory vaccinations, implant growth promotant (replacement heifers less than 400 lbs can be given a single implant.)  Deworm and dehorn if needed.

Preweaning calves: These procedures should be done 3-4 weeks prior to weaning to allow time for immunity to develop before weaning.  Vaccines: 7 or 8-way clostridial, respiratory viruses and Pasteurella, and Brucellosis for replacement heifers.  Parasite control, implant growth promotant, dehorn if needed.

Nutrition is important during all stages of cow-calf production but is especially important around weaning, calving, and breeding.  Nutrition is much more than good looking hay and an occasional mineral block.  Our area has some unique aspects that makes certain minerals like copper very important. (Jensen is a doctor of veterinarian medicine at Emery Animal Health.)

Take caution as you let your pets enjoy the great outdoors

Sharon Gilbert, DVM

In the spring and summer we all enjoying being outside.  Often we have our pets with us.  Here are some ideas to help keep us and our pets safe during activities outside.

Picture “Buddy,” a very large Mastiff, riding in the back of the truck, perched on the wheel well, face to the wind, ears and saliva flying.  He is really enjoying the ride.  Most dogs enjoy riding in the back of the truck. I wonder if they imagine that they are running really fast?  The problem is, it is not safe.  We see many injured dogs that have jumped out of the back of a moving truck, or fallen out in an accident or in a quick stop.  If your dog is allowed to ride in the back, he should be cross tied in or be in a crate that is tied into the back of the truck.  Make sure he is not on a rope that will allow him to jump out and be drug.  This will help keep him safe in the back of the truck.  Inside the car, you may consider a pet seat-belt.  This will help protect your pet in the event of an accident and will protect you from your pet colliding with another person inside the car in an accident.  The seat belt will also keep your pet away from you while you are driving.  Let’s keep our pets safely inside vehicles.

Before we were married, my husband had some sheep.  Over several days some dogs that were running loose came and killed a number of his sheep.  The animal control officer was called and two of the three dogs were caught and taken in.  The third could not be caught and was shot.  One dog was a loving  golden retriever, a family pet.  When the family came to the dog pound they were overjoyed to find their lost pet, and then dismayed to find that they owed a large fine, to pay for several sheep the dog had killed.

We enjoy the thought of our dogs running free, no restraint, to be able to run and play and have all the fun they want.  The trouble is, they get into trouble.  Besides damaging other people’s property or people, dogs running loose can get hit by cars, get in dog fights, or eat toxins and garbage.  Remember, they can get hurt themselves and they are our property.  We are responsible for what they do.  Even though we live in a rural area, we have leash laws.  Having your dog in a fenced in area while it is outside protects you, your neighbors and your dog.  Invisible fences can work well to keep your dog in your yard, but remember, they will not keep another animal out of your yard.  It is not only safe, but also responsible to keep your dog contained in your yard or on a leash. 

Although cats are much healthier indoors, many people have outside cats to help with rodent control. They have to be allowed to roam to do their job.  If a cat needs to be outside, owners can help protect them by spaying and neutering. Cats are territorial and often fight for territory and during mating.  Neutered and spayed cats fight much less and tend to stay home more.  If they stay home better, they will hunt more around your house.   Obviously this will also help reduce the number of feral cats.  It is an old wives’ tale that a cat with kittens will hunt better than a spayed cat.  Cats naturally hunt, litter of kittens or not.  Indoor cats avoid exposure to diseases such as Feline Leukemia and Feline immunodeficiency virus.  They also avoid bite wounds and injuries.  Indoor cats do need things to do inside.  Because they are natural hunters they need toys and play that helps fill that need and give them exercise.  Some owners even build large outside cages that attach to a window so cats can safely go outdoors and play.   Enjoy the spring and summer, enjoy your pet and help keep them safe. (Gilbert is a doctor of veterinarian medicine with Emery Animal Health.)

Small town Ferron will soon boast a sight normally seen only in the big city as the Dugmore family introduces a New York style hot dog cart to the city’s streets. The grand opening for the Ferron Square Grill will be May 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The stand will be located in front of Dugmore Appliance and Heating.

The Ferron Square Grill will be managed by Janeal Dugmore and her 10-year-old son Bryce, who is excited to earn money to help pay for his new motorcycle. Bryce, who has also sold lemonade during the summer, thinks it will be a lot of fun to cook for people and spend time with his family.

To start out, they will keep it simple, selling hot dogs, candy, chips and drinks, but hope to expand to include hamburgers, nachos, French fries and other specialty items.

As to being a 10-year-old with his own business, Bryce sums it up with one word, “awesome.” He is nervous about making mistakes, but hopes that people will be pleased by “getting good food.” He reported that his friends think it is “cool” and say that he is going to get a lot of money

The idea for the grill first began when the Dugmores held a sidewalk sale and decided to show how well their barbecues could cook. Bryce decided that he wanted to earn money and so he began selling hotdogs to customers who came. Janeal Dugmore said that her son “had a lot of fun at it, and enjoyed earning money,” so the family decided to take it a step further. “We decided that if we were going to do something like that, we need to do it the right way,” she related.

Janeal said that after discussing it the family decided that, “We wanted to find something that people would actually use, and it’s something that’s a bit unique, because we can go to the customers.”

She also said that they carefully researched the cart business before making their decision. “We’ve done a lot of research and study on it, and if it’s as successful as everybody says it is, then in the future we could purchase more carts and do it simultaneously at different places,” she stated.

The Dugmores have permission from the health inspector to take their cart to events in both Carbon and Emery County. They hope to cover birthday parties, family reunions and community events, including sports games, golf tournaments, the Emery County Fair, Peach Days, Heritage Days, International Days and others.

In speaking with others in the community, they have gotten good feedback. “Everyone we’ve talked to seems really excited about it and thinks it’s a fun idea. A couple have even said they wish they’d thought of it themselves. We’ve had only positive feedback,” she reported.

Cindi’s Café to Open Soon in Huntington

Josie Luke

               
“If this doesn’t kill me, it’s going to make me better,” remarked Cindi Avery as she sat in the construction zone that will soon be her new café. Avery and her family have joined forces to remodel part of the building located next to Christy’s Salon Sensations in Huntington into a cafe.   

Cindi’s Café will be the result of Avery taking her favorite parts from the many restaurants she has worked at and joining them into what she hopes will be a successful business. It truly is a family business. Her children Heather Avery, Marissa Killpack, Chelsey Rhodes and Jeremiah Avery have helped her in planning, remodeling and decorating the space. “Everybody has had their hand in this place,” she said.

One of her three daughters will work with her full time, another will come for the lunch rush and the third will be the “designated babysitter” for her eight grandchildren. Her son has been spending every spare minute doing the woodwork in the café and will help whenever he can.

Her daughters have taken initiative to set the tone for the decorations in the cafe. “We want it to be cute and comfortable,” Avery related. “The girls aren’t letting me buy whatever I want for decorations, they have to be with me.”
She has carefully planned every aspect of her business, from the menu to the decorating, to the setup of the kitchen which she designed on a trip back from Nevada and California. She went to buy supplies and appliances for the café. Although her son wasn’t sure about his mother’s ideas, it has turned out. “It’s fast and quick and it’s going to work. I know it’s going to work,” she said. “I’ve got everything in its place.”

The café will be open from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. to cover breakfast and lunch. Avery will sell hamburgers, deli sandwiches, soup, salad, a daily “hot meal” lunch special, tacos and burritos. Customers will be able to sit down and enjoy their meal in the café, or “get it quick and take it home” from the drive-thru window.

She has a definite theory of what will make the business successful. “It’s what I know. I know how to cook. To please the people is what you’re looking at,” she said. “You’re not looking at buying a lot of processed foods and throwing it out there saying, ‘Look, I’ve got all the things that Joe down the street has got.’ That’s not what I want. I want served here what I would serve my kids, my family.”

Because of the many surprises they have faced in getting the building ready, Avery is hesitant on setting a definite date for the opening, but said the café will be open by the end of the month. She also expressed some anxiety about getting business started, but said confidently, “Once we get going, people will love the food here.”

Medical Reserve Corps Looking for Volunteers

Josie Luke

After President George W. Bush’s 2002 State of the Union Address, in which he asked all Americans to volunteer in support of their country, the Medical Reserve Corps was organized. The local unit, the Southeastern Utah MRC is currently looking for volunteers.

“MRC units are community-based and function as a way to locally organize and utilize volunteers who want to donate their time and expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies and promote healthy living throughout the year. MRC volunteers supplement existing emergency and public health resources,” the MRC website explains.

The SEUMRC is organized under the Southeastern Utah Health Department and is currently looking for doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, veterinarians, mental health professionals, pharmacists, dentists and emergency personnel, including firefighters, EMTs and police, along with anyone else who is willing to help in an emergency.

“We are looking for people who are willing to do what needs to be done,” explained Cynthia Grant, SEUMRC Coordinator. “Basically, the people we can use is anyone who is willing to work in an emergency situation and who is dedicated and willing enough to give back to the community that they would do that without getting paid.”

Those who would volunteer for the SEUMRC, would be those who would not already be involved, including those who are retired, not working full-time, working in another field, or not currently working.

Some of the situations Grant sees the SEUMRC volunteers working in are in circumstances like the Crandall Canyon mine disaster, or in the event of a pandemic, flood or earthquake. In such instances, they could help to shelter those involved, provide for medical and physical needs, assist with communications, or anything else that was needed.

Grant said the group is just getting off the ground, but eventually, she would like to see a group of 12 to 20 volunteers in each county, with over 70 percent being lay people, without much medical experience. The program will also have a team leader in each county, who would be paid for five to 10 hours a month. In a team leader, Grant said she is looking for someone with strong people skills, who would take initiative and “quickly catch the vision of the MRC”.

The MRC is designed to be of service in the community in which it is located, and so unlike the Red Cross, the MRC has much more flexibility in how it is organized and how volunteers are used.

Grant sees volunteers supporting local health initiatives and any other community event where medical experience might be needed. She revealed that in some instances, like the bus accident last year near Blanding, people were needed to “just comfort people who were involved”, or to help with logistics and record keeping.

Volunteers would need to go through required trainings in eight core competencies, including training in the National Incident Management System (NIMS), which trains volunteers on how to react in emergencies. The trainings can be taken online and according to Grant, won’t require a huge amount of time.

For questions about the Medical Reserve Corps, or to volunteer, contact Grant at (435)748-2997, on her cell phone at- (435)749-2998, or email her at cgrant@utah.gov.

After an excellent season, Emery falters offensively in playoffs

Josie Luke

Without the offensive productivity that had marked the Emery Spartan Softball Team’s excellent play during the season, the Spartans struggled in the postseason, scoring a total of eight runs in four games, a total they had reached or exceeded in a single game 13 times during the regular season.

Emery still won two of the four state playoff games they played, but exited from the scene much earlier than had been expected. In their quarterfinal game on Thursday, May 15, the Spartans fell to the Uintah Utes 5-3, putting the team in the consolation bracket, still with a chance to fight back into the tournament.

The team played Morgan later that day and pulled out a hard fought victory by a score of 3-2, but after giving up six runs in the first inning of their Friday game against Union, and unable to produce runs, the Spartan’s season ended.

The quarterfinal game matched Emery with Uintah, who had beat the Spartans in their first game of the season, 15-11. Emery scored first on a single by Candice Norton, which brought in pitcher Leslee Lake, who had two doubles in the game. Uintah evened the score in the bottom of the second and scored two more to take the lead in the fifth.

Emery tied the game again in the top of the sixth. The leadoff batter, Keera Allred reached first on a single, followed by a single by Jalee Jensen. Adrienne Weihing tried to advance Allred with a bunt, but on a fielder’s choice, Allred got out. Lake then hit her second double, which brought in her two teammates.

With the score tied in the seventh, the Uintah pitcher belted a two-run homerun to put the Utes on top for good. Unable to mount a rally in the seventh, the Spartans dropped into the consolation bracket.

Against Morgan, Emery started the game with three strait singles by Jensen, Weihing and Chelsea Skinner, scoring one run. They added two more runs in the fourth on three more singles, this time by Whitney Allen, Norton and Jensen.

The Spartans held their opponents scoreless until the fifth inning, when they gave the Trojans their only two runs of the game, which ended with a score of 5-2. Jensen and Norton both had a good game for Emery. Jensen went three-for-four, with two RBIs, and Norton also had two singles in the game.

Friday brought the team a match-up with the Union Cougars, a team Emery hadn’t played before. Facing excellent pitching and having given up six runs on five hits in the first inning, the Spartans found themselves in a deep hole they were hard pressed to pull out of.

They placed tough defense through the rest of the game, but couldn’t buy a hit. Allred gamely kept the Cougar’s pitcher from scoring a no-hitter, slapping a single to right field in the sixth inning, but the Spartans were shut out, 7-0.

Though the state playoffs proved disappointing for the Spartans, the team played high-quality ball throughout the season. Emery pitcher Leslee Lake proved herself as a formidable challenge to opponents on the field and also qualified for the 3A Academic All-State team.

Emery’s season ends with heartbreaking loss

Josie Luke

Two unearned runs in the first inning proved to be just enough for the Wasatch Wasps to edge the Emery Spartans out of the 3A State Baseball Tournament on May 15.

The Spartans rapped two more hits than their opponents, but of nine runners to reach base, only Brett Mecham was able to score on a single off the bat of Ryne Jones. Emery Coach Jimmy Jones summed up the loss saying, “We just couldn’t get that one big hit to put us on top.”

Emery had a chance to score a run in the top of the first inning when, after being walked, Gatlan Huntington reached second base on Ryne Jones’ first single of the game. With one out and Huntington on second, the Wasps managed to retire the next two batters, stranding Huntington.

In the bottom of the first, the leadoff batter for Wasatch reached base on an Emery error, and the second batter tapped a sacrifice bunt to advance the runner. Then after the runner advanced though the next batter got out, the fourth batter hit a single bringing in the first Wasatch run. Another unearned run came home before Emery managed the third out of the inning.

Down 2-0, the Spartans held the Wasps scoreless through the next five innings, but struggled to score a run. The fifth inning brought Emery their next good chance, but although three batters reached base, two were tagged out on a fielder’s choice. Emery also advanced a runner, Addison Collard, to third in the sixth inning, but again, couldn’t bring him in to score.

The seventh inning began with the Spartans still trailing by two, hoping for an opportunity to score. The first batter, Derrick Allred, reached first base on the third error by the Wasps, and Brett Mecham followed that up with a single. Then with one out, Jordan Gee reached first, but Allred was tagged out, leaving runners on first and second for Emery.

Emery finally managed their first run of the game when Ryne Jones came to the plate and hit his team-high third single of the game, bringing Mecham in to score. Down only one, but with two outs, the next Emery batter hit the ball, but unfortunately for the Spartans, the ball was hit to the Wasatch first-baseman, ending the game and the season for Emery.

After starting the season with a 3-7 record, the Spartan baseball team exhibited their toughness, fighting to end the season with a record of 11-11, winning eight of their last 12 games. They also should be proud that after losing in the first round of the state playoffs, they didn’t throw in the towel; they scored 15 runs in the win against Morgan.               

Congratulations to Skyler Jensen, outfielder and pitcher for the Spartans, who was one of 10 players selected to the 3A Academic All-State Team.

New author finds success with first children’s book

James L. Davis

From a casual thought that he might like to try his hand at writing a children’s book to printed dreams, an Emery County native suddenly finds himself an author.

Bevan Olsen, 26, the son of Wayne and Kelly Olsen of Orangeville, said he had toyed with the idea of writing a children’s book but didn’t really know when he would get around to doing anything about, until one day he did.

A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Bevan’s idea was to create a character named the Littlest Nephite, a Nephite who stopped growing at 3’9” and was there throughout all that transpires in the Book of Mormon.  From that kernel of an idea Bevan created his first book, The Littlest Nephite in Nephi and the Brass Plates.

A fan of Dr. Seuss, Bevan wrote his book in rhyme as the Littlest Nephite tells the tale of the Brass Plates.

The book, published by Cedar Fort, Inc., the second largest publisher of LDS books, Bevan’s book became available at bookstores in April and after a little more than a month Bevan said he was surprised at how well received the book has been.

“It was just a surprise to even become an author,” he said with a smile.

With his book printed, Bevan suddenly found himself in the world of the author, complete with book signings.  His first book signing was at a women’s conference at BYU, where he found himself hoping for one particular visitor.

“I thought ‘maybe the prophet would stop by’,” he said.  He didn’t, but plenty of other people did, so many that Bevan found he was a little overwhelmed by the experience, but happily so.

“It’s nice to know that it’s noticed.  It’s been interesting to see who is looking at it.”

The father of two small boys, Jaigen, 3, and Calahan, 9 months, his book is understandably popular in their house.  Bevan and his wife Cyndee and sons call Lehi home.

The experience of writing and having his first book published has proven to be a rewarding experience for Bevan, and he admitted that when it came to understanding the complexities of getting a book published, he had a little help because of where he works.  The warehouse manager at Cedar Fort, Bevan said he knew who to talk to about getting his book into the right hands.

“Being inside the publishing company, I let an editor friend review the book even before I submitted it just so the acquisition editor wouldn’t be distracted by mistakes,” Bevan said.

From the time he submitted the book for consideration to seeing the first copy in his hands took a year and from the time it was accepted to the time it was printed, a search was underway for an illustrator to bring the book to life with pictures.

Bevan said he considered hiring his own illustrator for the book and even submitted the work of one illustrator who had created drawings interpreting his book, but Cedar Fort chose Rebecca Miller to illustrate his first children’s book. Bevan said he was very happy with the work of the artist.

With the first adventure of the Littlest Nephite in bookstores, Bevan said he hopes to continue writing books that tell the Book of Mormon story to young readers.  He has already penned the second adventure of the Littlest Nephite that tells the story of Lehi and the Tree of Life and if that book is also published, then he hopes to continue the series.

Locally, The Littlest Nephite in Nephi and the Brass Plates is available for sale at Jones Ace Hardware in Castle Dale.

Living Life as Captain Caveman

James L. Davis

I don’t really know how or why our simple family drive spiraled into my wife’s attempted assault of my eyebrows with a Leatherman, but it did.  I believe it quite possibly had something to do with my body hair, at least that is what my wife said.

Hearing that my body hair had caused such a violent reaction from my wife filled me with sorrow because there was a time when I was rather proud of my body hair.  When I was a boy I waited rather impatiently for the day when hair would begin to sprout all over my body, because I was so very sure that when I had a thick coat of chest hair and could grow a bushy mustache I would be pretty much irresistible to the opposite sex.  Actors like Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck and Captain Caveman were my role models.  They had tons of body hair and the girls just loved them (well, I wasn’t sure if girls loved Captain Caveman, but he had lots of body hair and could destroy things with his caveman club, so he was pretty impressive in his own right).

After I reached the age of 12 or so I began to give myself a rather thorough inspection on a daily basis, waiting for that first outbreak of body hair that would signify that I was now, officially, a Man.  Every day I would search, and every day I would be left disappointed because body hair was nowhere to be found.  What made it even worse was that I had to endure the taunts of my friends who proudly displayed their armpit hair by curling up their shirt sleeves and sticking their armpit into my face until I could not help but notice that there were a few hairs growing there.  One friend had so much armpit hair that he liked to comb it on the way to school, which I found then and continue to find rather disturbing, especially when he borrowed one of my other friend’s combs to do so.

The day finally came that I lifted my arms one morning and with the use of my Mom’s magnifying mirror I discovered right in the center of my right armpit a single black hair proudly sticking out.  It was the greatest day of my life, I was so very sure.  It was a Saturday and because it was Saturday I wore a tank top out to play with my short, short gym shorts and knee high athletic socks with the cool red stripes and went in search of some cute girl to show her how, overnight I had become a man.

I found my next door neighbor, who was a year older than me, but hey, I had armpit hair, so I could handle an older woman. I strutted toward her, lifted my arms to grab onto a tree limb and waited for her to notice that I was well on my way to becoming a sexy, hairy beast.  She didn’t notice, so I tried to help her out by scratching at my hairy armpit to draw her attention.  She still didn’t notice.  So I began to worry that perhaps her eyesight was failing and finally asked her if she could see the armpit hair under my right arm waving at her rather sexily.  She looked closer, wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes.

“That’s really gross James,” she said.  I soon came to the conclusion that one body hair was not nearly enough, so I waited for more and thanked the hair gods as new hairs began to pop out here and there on my body.

Somewhere in my mid-20s I begin to wonder if all my wishing for body hair was not some tragic mistake.  Because I now had a thick carpet of chest hair, but I also had a fairly thick carpet of back hair.  I had hair on my shoulders, I had hair in my ears, I had hair in my nose and the cruelest thing of all was that it now seemed that men with body hair were no longer considered irresistible to the opposite sex.  All those years of waiting for body hair, and when I finally had so much body hair that I could be a stand-in for Big Foot, women were no longer interested in men with body hair.  Men were actually going into salons to have their body hair removed.

So I considered myself lucky to find a woman who didn’t seem to mind that I was covered with a fine layer of fur.  The fact that she was a veterinary technician perhaps helped.

This is why I was so caught by surprise when she asked our daughter to get the Leatherman out of the glove box.  With the Leatherman pliers gripped firmly in her hand, she put her arm around me and went after my right eyebrow.

“What are you doing?” I screamed in a not unmanly way.

“You have this one hair on your eyebrow that keeps sticking out and it’s driving me crazy.”

She plucked one of the hairs on my eyebrow and I screamed again, in a not unmanly fashion.

“Missed it.  Hold still.”

“I’m driving here.  Can we do this later?”

“I keep forgetting to tell you about it, so let’s get it now.”

“It’s pretty gross Dad,” my daughter added, just to boost my self esteem.

Suddenly I was 12 again and being snubbed for showing off my one armpit hair.  I had wanted to be Burt Reynolds or Tom Selleck, but instead I was Captain Caveman…and I didn’t even have his caveman club.

The Pros and Cons of Networking Websites

Casey Wood

In the past few years you have undoubtedly heard of Bebo, Myspace, Flixter, Myyearbook, Facebook, Twitter, Tagged, or any number of other online networking websites.  Chances are you have heard a lot of negative comments on such sites as well, so for those of you who are unsure what to believe, and of what such sites are for and what they do, here is a small overview.

Networking sites were created for two major purposes, keeping in touch and meeting new people.  These websites give you the opportunity to communicate with the people you care about, and to possibly find and re-establish communication with those people who have moved out of your life.  They also give you the opportunity to meet new people, whether they are local, or live thousands of miles away.  You have the ability to decide what kind of people you would like to meet, and search for qualities you would like them to have. 

There are both pros and cons to these websites.  It is important to learn the good things and the bad before diving into such sites.

The pros are the ability you are given to find those who you have lost contact with, or to meet those who share interests with you.  Most of these websites allow you to customize a profile with pictures, backgrounds, music, information about yourself, etc.  Some allow you to share things you enjoy, such as music you have written, poetry, videos, art or any other number of things you may want to share.  Each website has a specific catch that makes it unique from its competitors to convince you to use their networking site.

The cons can seem dangerous.  The most advertised and important con to recognize is the possibilities of pedophiles using such sites, and there have been occasions in which these fears were justified.  Due to safety and security measures now being taken by a majority of these networking sites, the possibility is decreasing to be little more than the possibility of meeting these pedophiles by a visit to the park, or being featured in a yearbook.  Many of these websites offer the ability to keep the information on a profile hidden from those who aren’t on your friends list, and to further protect you, it is possible to prohibit the types of people who can attempt to add you to their friends list, such as requiring certain personal information that only friends would know to send a request to be on your friends list.  Of course risks will always remain in any communication with those met online.

The main uses of these sites in our community are limited to friends talking with one another, blogging out their feelings and opinions and publicly showing who you do and do not consider a friend.

Can’t Help but be Cheerful
and Happy with Sweet Creations

Kathy Ockey

You can’t help but be cheerful and happy when you are around Myrleen Sitterud because she always has a smile and greeting for everyone.  I have known her almost all of my life and we reminisced about when her daughter, Shellee, and I were in dancing together and Myrleen and my mother spent many hours sewing dancing costumes.  I also remember the many delicious meals and the hospitality that was always present in her home. 

Myrleen was born in Cleveland and her maiden name is Alger.  Her mother passed away when she was small and her father worked shift work and didn’t want to leave her alone so he hired housekeepers to help take care of her.  She said she also spent a lot of her childhood in the home of her aunt and uncle, Gomer and Ruth Arnold.

Myrleen married her husband, Raymond when he was a soldier serving in World War II.  He was stationed in Phoenix and she met him there when he was on his first furlough.  They were married in the Mesa, Arizona Temple, and were married for 64 years before Raymond passed away last November.   She said it is hard to get used to being alone but her children are very good to her and visit her often.

Myrleen said she loves to cook and try new recipes.  Her children have favorite foods that she makes and they often ask for them when they come home.  She also said she thinks she has the most wonderful children in the world.  They are Terry, Washington D.C.; Clyde, Highland; Shellee Dooley, Lehi; and Laural Johansen, Castle Dale.  She enjoys her grandchildren and she also enjoys knitting and crocheting.

Following are some of her family’s favorites that they request and remember as part of their childhood.  Myrleen also has the sour dough scone recipe that was used at the dedication of Joe’s Valley dam she would be willing to share with anyone.

Chocolate Mint Cookies
“One of our favorites”
1 cup brown sugar                   
2 eggs
½ cup butter                            
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups flour                                   
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons water                               
1/2 teaspoon salt
Andes mint candies
Melt sugar, butter, water, and chocolate chips in a double boiler.  Stir often.  When melted, cool 10 minutes.  Sift dry ingredients and add with eggs to chocolate mixture.  Mix well.  Refrigerate at least one hour (or overnight).  Roll into small balls.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until done.  Remove from oven and place an Andes Mint on top to melt.   Mmmmmm.

Sweet Petals
“These are a lot like small cinnamon rolls, but easier”

1 package yeast, dissolved in 1/2 cup water                             
3/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter                                                    
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt                                                                     
2 1/2 - 3 cups flour
Mix and let rise, then form petals and roll in topping mixture, recipe below.  Arrange dough like petals.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Topping
1/2 cup butter, melted                                                  
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar                                                    
2 teaspoons cinnamon  
1 cup crushed nuts (Optional)

Chocolate Zucchini Bread
“I have shared this recipe with a lot of friends”
 
3 eggs                                                                         
2 cups sugar
1 cup salad oil                                                             
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 cups grated zucchini                                                  
3 cups flour                 
1 teaspoon salt                                                            
1 teaspoon cinnamon   
1/4 teaspoon baking powder                                                    
1 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla                                            
1 teaspoon baking soda
Beat eggs until lemon colored.  Beat in sugar and oil.  Melt chocolate and stir into egg mixture with vanilla and zucchini.  Sift flour with the salt, cinnamon, baking powder and soda.  Stir into zucchini mixture with almonds.  Mix well. Grease and flour two 9 X 5 loaf pans and pour batter into pans, dividing evenly.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into bread comes out clean.  Do not over bake.  Cool in pans for 15 minutes.  Turn out onto racks to finish cooling.  Breads freeze well. Yield:  Two loaves.

Myrleen’s Peach Pie Filling
“Delicious and easy”

2 cups boiling water
Make paste of: 1 1/2 cups cold water
2 1/3 cups sugar
3/4 cups corn starch
1/8 tsp salt
Add the above to boiling water
Add: 1 3 ounce package Orange Jello and 1/4 cup lemon juice – cook until thickened
Peel and slice lots of peaches and add to pie filling. 
Put in pie shell, bake, and when cooked – serve with whipped cream.

Finding Some Sustainable Summer Shoes

Denise Reid

The change from winter shoes to summer shoes offers the opportunity to step into some new sustainable footwear. Increased demand for shoes that use non-toxic glues, recycled components, and plant materials that grow quickly without pesticides, offers a wide variety of styles. Consider researching a favorite shoe in the closet, to find out the manufacture’s philosophy.

Check out Charmone.com for proof one can buy environmentally friendly shoes and still participate in high fashion. On the casual side, Nomadic State of Mind offers sandals made out of soft, washable rope. The leftover pieces of rope are woven into other products available on their website, nomadicstate.com, where you can read more about their manufacturing policies and future plans.
Simple offers a variety of shoes made from recycled plastics, cotton grown without pesticides, cork (antimicrobial tree), recycled tires, jute shrub, bamboo (grows easily without pesticides), and water based glue. You can find all this information as well as local retailers at simpleshoes.com. Another shoe company, Terra Plana, uses vegetable tanned leather and avoids chromium that is used to soften some leathers. They have also developed what they call E-leather, a blend of leather by-product and other textile fibers re-woven to be comparable to good quality leather. Visit terraplana.com to review their ethical policy and attractive shoes.

There are numerous shoe and clothing companies with positive earth practices. Some companies even offer to receive the items once they are discarded, and handle the recycling themselves. Visit Patagonia.com to find out about Common Threads Garment Recycling, where you will find mailing and drop off locations. Through this program, Patagonia will take back their fleece, that of other companies, and any of the other items they offer marked by the Common Threads tag. There are other ways to avoid filling up landfills with shoes and clothing: make meaningful purchases that will last, pay a little extra for high quality, organically grown, classic styles, and donate to local thrift stores.

When Urban Representatives Attack

Josie Luke

Many members of the Utah State Legislature from urban cities need a few lessons from rural Utahans; the first and most simple lesson being on rural economics.

The first example I saw of this ignorance was in the cap a legislative committee put on the amount of mineral lease monies Emery County could receive. This cap was placed after the legislative bill had been passed by an appropriations committee.  A state representative, who obviously didn’t understand the economic situation that the county is facing, thought the money might be better spent by others.

It took months of work by many people to work out the problems this created for the county, such as the budget shortfall recently faced by the special service districts in the county. Eventually, the cap was removed and the county received the funds, which had been set aside.

I had naively hoped that this change might wake up urban representatives to the economic realities facing the county, but in the past week, yet another step was taken by a group of representatives from the Wasatch Front which will potentially hurt our economy.

In 2005, the state legislature passed a bill creating economic development incentives for businesses created in the state or those who chose to relocate here. These incentives were based on the median annual wage of the county where these businesses chose to locate. As an example, if a business chose to locate in a county with a median annual income of $20,000, the business would have to pay a certain percentage above this median to qualify for these incentives.

The recent change from median to average, or in more statistical terms, median to mean, raised the annual wage for many Utah counties, especially those in rural Utah. For instance, in Emery County, the median wage was calculated at $22,498 and the average wage is calculated at $38,973, a difference of $16,475 or 73 percent. In Carbon County, the difference was $10,240 or 48 percent, and in Piute County, the county with the lowest median wage, the difference was $7,759 or 44 percent.

Looking at this from one perspective, one could see it as a way to make businesses pay higher wages in order to qualify for economic incentives, which I am definitely for, but on average, the percentage for all counties in Utah was just 25 percent, with the median wage being $27,548, and the average being $34,548.

This discrepancy is obvious to anyone who looks at the numbers. A county like Emery, where although the unemployment numbers are low, close to 3.5 percent in the third quarter of 2007, the economy is in desperate need of new business. This change as Mike McCandless, the county economic director put it, “discriminates against rural counties.”

After taking three statistics classes in college, required for my major, one of the basic lessons I learned about calculating the average is that using the median guards against outliers, which skew the average. This means that instead of using the mean, which takes in all of the annual wages and divides it by the number, in calculating the median you take all the numbers, put them in order and select the middle number in the list.

In a county like Emery, where two of the biggest employers are in mining and utilities, the annual wages provide an example of where the median would be a better statistical tool, both because it does not skew the numbers like the mean and because the jobs that are being added to the American economy, and that of Emery County are currently service jobs, which will not pay wages like the jobs that now support the county’s economy.

So, to those state legislators who are from urban areas, I would ask you to take more care in the changes you make. We need incentives for business to locate in our area much more than more rural economies. The Utah economy is touted as one of the most dynamic in the country—your counties’ economies may be doing fine, but ours is not. Be careful; don’t just rush ideas through the legislature before you have studied the effects that they may have.

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.

Charlotte Williams

Advertising Sales

 

Charlotte Williams lives in Orangeville with her husband and two beautiful daughters, and has for the past ten years. Raised in a large family, she has learned the importance of family (not to mention good self defence skills). She opens her home to youth that may need a little more love than others. Although scrapbooking, cooking, camping, and family fun are her favorite things to do, she will try just about anything once.

The new experiences and new people she has met while working for the Emery County Review have definitely proven again what a great community we live in.

Kathy Ockey

Staff Writer

 

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.

Judi has been a resident of Cleveland since 1995 and prior to that lived in Huntington, so naturally her “beat” is the north end of Emery County.  She has been with The Emery County Review since September of 2007.  She enjoys working for the Review because it focuses on the types of stories that make the world a happy place.  She also enjoys the company of her co-workers and the opportunity to work with and tell the stories of the surrounding community and the residents who call the area home.
