Nielson crews continue work on Moab tailings project

Nielson Construction recently completed the creation of a 9 million gallon pond near Crescent Junction. The pond will be used to store water for use in the construction of the first phase of a holding cell to relocate the Atlas uranium mill tailings from the banks of the Colorado River.

The construction company had already completed a 21-mile water pipeline that stretches from the Green River to the Department of Energy site at Crescent Junction which will be home to the uranium tailings when the project is complete.  Nielson Construction is the contractor assigned to the task of creating the first phase of the massive holding cell. The company and is performing the work for Energy Solutions, who has the contract with the DOE for the cell.

The creation of the earthen holding pond, which covers 2.7 acres and was constructed by heavy equipment operators moving tons of dirt to make the pond 36 feet above grade, will allow for a gravity flow operation for the release of water for dust control and other water needs of the project. The above ground pond will save on electrical costs for the project because there will be no need for pumps to fill water trucks.

The DOE and Energy Solutions celebrated the on-time completion of the pipeline and water pond by Nielson Construction with a brief ceremony on July 1, where the first water truck was ceremonially filled from the pond by Don Metzler, DOE project manager, and Brent Anderson, Energy Solution site construction manager.

Pumping water through the pipeline requires the use of four booster pumps to push the water 1,000 feet above the Green River to the pond at Crescent Junction.  Construction of the pond and pipeline began in March and was completed in three months.

With the pond and water line completed, Nielson Construction will begin the process of moving more than 2 million cubic yards of earth as it completes phase one of the holding cell for the uranium tailings.  According to Mark Greenhalgh, Nielson Construction project superintendant, the construction company expects to complete phase one of the project by this November using a fleet of up to nine scrapers, as well as bulldozers and graders.  The cell will be dug to a depth of 25 feet and after the tailings have been moved from Moab it will be capped with eight foot of dirt and one foot of rock.  Some of the earth removed in creation of the cell will be used to create a wedge on the north side of the site to protect it from flash floods, according the Metzler.

The area around Crescent Junction was chosen for the holding cell because of the Mancos shale of the area, which makes an excellent natural liner, eliminates the need for expensive man-made liners.  According to Metzler, the water table at the site is 4,000 feet below the surface and the cell is designed to last 1,000 years.

The project has proven to be a boon for the economy of Green River.  Nielson Construction employees have been staying in motels in the city, shopping at local stores and eating at local eateries throughout the week.  The company has also hired new employees from both the Green River and Moab area for the project.  While the company has hired a number of employees from the area, the need for additional employees in the coming weeks should level out as the last few pieces of heavy equipment are brought into the area manned for the cell construction portion of the project, according to Nielson Construction human resource representatives.

Youth Raise Memories at Stock Show

Josie Luke

Many young children have a strong desire to emulate their older siblings. This holds true for the Swasey siblings of Ferron. Kammi, 8, and Kamron, 7,  really look up to their older sister Kaylee, 11.                 
So after watching Kaylee compete in the Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show for two years, Kammi and Kamron tried their hand at raising livestock for the event, and both did quite well. The luck held for older sister, Kaylee, who won Grand Champion meat ram with her lamb, “Lucky Bucky.”

Kaylee, who also had two lambs in the yearling breeding stock competition, was elated at winning with Lucky. “I’ve never won grand, or third, or second, or anything like that.” she said. “It was fun.”
In her humble excitement, Kaylee quietly shows her younger siblings how much fun it can be, always smiling shyly whenever she speaks about her lambs.  Kammi, more extroverted than her sister, readily relates how fun their sister makes it look. “Me and Bubba done it because when Kaylee done it, it just looked so fun, so we got goats and done it,” she related.

So this year, both Kammi and Kamron raised Wether goats for the livestock show. Kammi named her goat “Gold Dust” and Kamron named his “Twinkle.” In Fitting and Showmanship, Kamron won first in his age group and third overall. He was pleased with all of the five ribbons he won, but like Kaylee, he kept his replies to just a few words.

“He mostly won all the ribbons,” offered Kammi. Kamron’s favorite part of the competition was showing his goat. More than winning the ribbons, a comment of “I like your goat” from the judge, was in his mind, the most important result.

Kammi summed her favorite part up with childlike excitement, citing “the ribbons and the money,” but she also appreciated a kind comment from the judge. “She really loved my goat. It was really a good goat, except for the part where he went under my legs and twisted me around. Everyone was laughing,” she related

The children’s’ mother and father, Sheri and Sid Swasey, also competed in stock shows when they were younger. Kaylee revealed proudly, “My dad did steers, and my mom did sheep.”

From their parents the three are learning how to raise the animals, how to train them and how to show them. Kaylee described part of their training routine. “You catch them, and then you walk them around and around and around,” adding, “You have to make sure the dogs don’t scare ‘em.”

Kammi also reported that her parents even play with the three children, pretending to be the judges while the children show the animals.

Kaylee explained how to compete in showmanship saying, simply, “You gotta watch the judge. You’ve gotta keep the lamb clean. And you’ve got to stay on the opposite side as the judges.”                                                                
The three siblings’ experiences, and their laid back attitude about winning and losing, made the show seem like it was, for them, just one fun moment after another. One of the children’s favorite moments of the entire show: when Kamron’s goat tried to eat his ribbons.  And as to if they want to do it again next year, all three responded enthusiastically, “Ya!”

Ferron hosts successful Junior Livestock Show

Josie Luke

For the 70th year, Ferron hosted the Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show July 9-12. More than 400 youth from the 4-H and Future Farmers of America showed nearly 550 sheep, swine, goats, cows and rabbits they had spent the previous year grooming for the event.

Each year, the stock show draws together many of the area’s residents, and some from farther away to watch as young people attempt to win in a number of different events, especially to have their animal named as Grand Champion.

The Southeastern Utah Stock Show Committee, made up of 25 members, meets once a month for 11 months of the year to prepare every aspect of the event. One part they really enjoy is the opportunity given them by generous sponsors to award participants with belt buckles, hoodies, plaques and many other items to participants.

Committee Member Gail Kay revealed that at the local stock show, they are excited to give away more prizes to participants than any other event in the state.

Grand Champion and Reserve Champion winners were: Tyrell Hansen for Grand Champion market steer, with Jessica Swenson for Reserve Champion; Melissa Pipher for Grand Champion lamb, with Tyrell McClain for Reserve Champion; Derek Peterson for overall Grand Champion Pig, with Sidnee Conder for overall Reserve Champion; including Sidnee Conder for Grand Champion barrow, with Taylor Ewell for Reserve Champion; and Derek Peterson for Grand Champion gilt, with Sidnee Conder for Reserve Champion.

Fitting and Showmanship winners were: Beef- Junior winner, Gavin McClain; Intermediate winner, Noelle Perkins; and Senior winner Phillip Peart; Lamb- Beginner winner, Colby Christiensen; Junior winner, Larsen Perkins; Intermediate winner, Noelle Perkins; and Senior winner Jacob Perkins; Hog- Beginner winner, Austin Allred; Junior winner Carson Healy; Intermediate winner, Dillon Shepherd; and Senior winner, Britni Maxfield;

The Grand Champion market steer sold for $2,000, and the Reserve Champion sold for $2,600. The Grand Champion lamb sold for $1,150, and the Reserve Champion sold for $850. The Grand champion hog sold for $1,400, and the Reserve Champion sold for $1650.

Lands council looks to better forecast lease revenues

Josie Luke

In an effort to better forecast mineral lease revenue, the Emery County Public Lands Council approved the formation of a new subcommittee, who will be tasked with tracking mineral lease revenue and holding quarterly meetings where oil, gas and coal developers will meet to discuss their current and future plans.

The decision was made after Bevan Wilson, the chairman of Emery County Special Service District #1 made the request at the public lands meeting held July 8. The service district has been tasked with tracking mineral lease revenue on federal lands as part of their work in the county.

With the emergence of much more oil and natural gas production in the county, and the development of mineral extraction on Utah State Institutional Trust Lands Administration exchange land, mineral lease tracking has become much more complex. 

According to Wilson, the new subcommittee will “assist the service district in monitoring activity and tracking the development of mineral resources.” This will include bringing together developers in quarterly meetings to discuss such activity.

Wilson hopes that by conducting the meetings, it will allow more informed projections to be made on the amount of mineral lease funds the county will receive, thus allowing SSD#1 to plan funding for future projects.

Ferron preparing for Peach Days

The Ferron City Council is busy preparing for the 107th annual Peach Days Celebration, which will be held Sept. 2-6.

At the city council meeting held July 10, Councilmember JoAnn Behling reported that the Ferron Fire Department had agreed to organize the town breakfast on Sept. 6. The department will host the breakfast at the new city fire station. Councilmember Trent Jackson said that plans for the old fashioned soapbox car derby were on track.

Jackson added that event registration forms, vendor forms and a complete schedule of events for the celebration are available online at: www.ferroncity.org/PeachDays.html. 

The council also discussed the horse races and demolition derby, which are scheduled for Sept. 6. They agreed that last year’s prices may have made it difficult for large families to attend, and with high gas prices compounding problems for those who may want to attend this year, prices needed to be decreased. They decided to make entrance fees $5 per person, $20 per family/car and free for children five and under.

The council also set a public meeting for July 16, 7 p.m. to open bids for city garbage service. Bidding ends for the contract July 15.

City Recorder Adele Justice revealed that Millsite Golf Course had ended the 2007-08 fiscal year in the black with a budget surplus of approximately $9,000.

DWR searching for poacher of golden eagle near Price

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is asking for the public’s help in finding a poacher that killed a golden eagle northwest of the Price airport sometime in the past month.

Golden eagles are year-round residents of the Price area.  They often perch on power poles, making them easy targets for irresponsible shooters.  Wildlife is the common property of the people of Utah, and we share a stewardship for its conservation.  The senseless killing of any animal is a loss for all of us.

Anyone with information about this crime can call Lieutenant Carl Gramlich at 435-820-6011, or the Help Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-800-662-DEER. 

Callers may be eligible for a reward of up to $500.  The caller’s identity will be held in strict confidence or may remain anonymous at the caller’s request. 

“Due to the location of the shooting, there’s a high probability that the poacher is a resident of Carbon County,” stated Lt. Gramlich.  “There is no excuse for this type of senseless killing.  The wanton destruction of this majestic bird tarnishes the image of all gun owners and sportsmen.  It makes us all look bad.”

Bringing home the Summer Games Gold

Josie Luke

A basketball team which to many in the state would seem be no match for teams from larger areas, being composed of players from the College of Eastern Utah women’s basketball team, a player from Price who played for Weber State, and two young women who recently played at Emery High recently, took gold at the Utah Summer Games recently.

The Summer Games basketball tournament, held June 19-21 in Cedar City, pitted the unlikely champions against teams which drew players from many of the Division 1 colleges and universities in the state, along with teams of even less professional ability.

The team, consisting of women ages 18-24, came together as a result of a player from CEU’s team, Rachel Rasmussen, originally of Cleveland, asking her teammates and friends to participate in the event. Rachel’s father, Rick, came up with the idea, and she and her teammates, who called themselves Emery, from Cleveland, took advantage of the opportunity.

The tournament began June 19 and 20, with a seating tournament, which the Emery team came through undefeated, beating Motherlode 56-41, Northern Xposure 63-43, State Bank of Southern Utah 67-63 and Sparky Beaver 62-60, pitting them against SBSU in the semifinals.

The semifinals and finals were held June 21. The semifinal proved to be a very tight game, with Emery pulling out the win in overtime, 56-48. In the gold medal game, it was no different for the local women, they found themselves in another nail-biter, but managed to hold back the State Bank of Southern Utah team, comprised of players from Snow College, Salt Lake Community College, and a player from BYU by a score of 52-50 to take the gold.

Though the team as coached by Rachel’s father and Dennis Pearson, she explained the team didn’t have set plays to run during games. They simply focused on playing fundamental basketball. Many of the other coaches commented on how well they played together. Rachel believes they played so well together because they are “such good friends,” and didn’t give into the temptation to get frustrated with each other during games.

Along with having friends on the team, because many of the players played club basketball, the teams also knew each other well, so according to Rachel, “It made it even more fun to beat them, because we wanted to beat our friends.” She said the games were competitive, but proved to be slightly less intense than collegiate or high school games.

After such a good experience at the summer games, the team hopes to be able to compete again next year. In fact, Rachel said she would encourage anyone to compete in the summer games. “Even if you don’t win, you have good competition,” she reported.

Golfers gather for scramble

Casey Wood

Sixty-four golfers gathered at Millsite Golf Course for the Emery County Recreation/Millsite Men’s Association Amateur Four Man Scramble on June 28.

There were 16 four-man teams present to compete in this tournament, along with numerous sponsors, including ACE Auto and Trailer Sales, The National Hole-In-One Association, Hole-In-One International, and Huntsman Autoplex. There were many competitions going on aside from the tournaments with prizes coming from sponsors of the tournaments.  There were hole-in-one competitions on holes 5 and 7 with prizes including a truck and camp trailer from Huntsman Autoplex, and a flatbed trailer from ACE Auto and Trailer Sales.  At the end of the day these prizes were not awarded because no one was able to make a hole-in-one. 

There were also “Closest to the Crown” competitions on numerous holes sponsored by Miss Emery County, for which many prizes were awarded, and as scores were tallied there was a drawing for the tournament participants. 

The tournament had two flights, the first flight for the top three teams, and the second flight determined by a blind draw.  The first flight winning teams were the Shannon Hiatt Team, who took first with a score of 58, 14 under par; the Jeff Winget Team who took second with a score of 59, 13 under par; and the Mangus Group Team, who took third with a score of 60, 12 under par.  The draw for the second flight was 8, making the second flight winners begin 8 above the first flight’s first place of 58. 

The second flight began with 66 being the lowest possible score.   The Magnuson Lumber Team took first at 66, 6 under par; the Terry Uhrig Team took second with a 68, 4 under par; and the Eric Pederson Team took third with 69, 3 under par.

Local Wild Horse and Burro Adoption Reflects Current Issues in National Program

Josie Luke

Sometimes I find it difficult to formulate a solid opinion on certain issues. After reading an article recently about issues the Bureau of Land Management is having in dealing with their wild horse and burro management program, I found myself in just such a situation.

On one hand, I understand that when people are put in difficult situations, sometimes undesirable things must be done to solve the problem, but sometimes those solutions are arguably worse than the initial problem.

On June 28, the BLM held a wild horse and burro adoption at the Castle Dale Arena. They use such adoptions to find homes for many of the animals that they remove from BLM lands. They remove the animals to keep populations in line with the number of such animals they have determined can thrive on the land.

The Castle Dale adoption proved to be somewhat of a disappointment for the BLM, because they only sold 12 animals– eight horses and four burros– at a venue where they usually do quite well. Price Assistant Field Manager Wayne Ludington put it tactfully, “It wasn’t as good as we’d hoped.”

The result in Castle Dale reflects a national trend. In a fact sheet provided on the BLM’s website, it states, “The BLM attempts to place as many animals as possible each year into private care through public adoptions, but adoptions have been declining in recent years because of higher fuel and food costs. Adoptions declined from 5,701 in fiscal year 2005 to 4,772 in fiscal year 2007.”
With the decline in adoptions, comes the need for the BLM to care for a greater number of horses and burros, but rising costs in caring for the horses are making that very difficult. Of the $37 million budget provided for the program, over $26 million is spent just on holding costs.

“As of 2008, there are more than 30,000 wild horses and burros that are fed and cared for at short- and long-term holding facilities. Right now, the cost of keeping these animals in holding facilities is spiraling out of control and preventing the agency from managing other parts of the program,” reads a statement from the website.

Locally, just such a thing has happened. The Price BLM office had planned on removing some animals from local herds this year with funds provided by the national agency, but because of an emergency round-up in Nevada, the money is no longer available.

Ludington explained that for now, this does not put the local population in as dire a situation as is seen in other areas. The local office has a herd size range in which they consider the herds safe. He said that the number “has not exceeded the high level yet.”
With the lack of funding, decline in adoptions, and herd populations that according to the bureau can double every four years, the BLM is being faced with an extremely difficult and painful situation. If the situtation continues to worsen, their first option is to “sell older and certain other unadopted animals ‘without limitation’ to any willing buyers,” and their second, awful option is to “euthanize those wild horses and burros for which no adoption demand exists.”

Though I understand that the BLM is in a tight spot, the question I have is “what got us to this point?” The first answer that comes to mind is human error. Whether that error comes from inadequate projections on the part of the BLM, or the more basic issue of a bad economy, produced because of what I see as ineffective legislation and poor international diplomacy, the animals didn’t put themselves in the current situation.

Now, I’m not one of those “d#$% environmentalist, tree-hugging animal lovers” so many from the area love to hate, although I do understand their viewpoint more than most, I just hate the thought of horses being euthanized, period.

I grew up believing that horses are not to be used as many other animals often are from my grandpa. Some of my favorite talks with him have been about horses. I love listening to him tell stories about riding when he was younger, explaining how to act around them, and especially talking about his favorite horses.

After one extraordinary horse died unexpectedly about a month ago, I sat on the lawn and tried to be “tough.” While I was sitting there, my grandpa walked by me and said, “Posie, that just about makes ya sick.” I responded, “It does make me sick.” And then, I tried really hard not to cry.  It didn’t work.

So, in solving the situation with the wild horses and burros, my judgment may be a little clouded, but I hope we can figure out another way to deal with the problem. Though it may be much simpler to simply euthanize “excess animals,” I think those who have contributed to the problem need to take responsibility and figure out how to fix it.

The Bureau of Land Management is encouraging public comment on their website, www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/wild_horse_and_burro/Statement_06_30_2008.html, or by telephone at 1-800-710-7597. Hopefully those who are more educated than I am on possible solutions, can offer more positive alternatives.
