A Growing Heritage Days

Josie Luke

Now drawing thousands to the city every year, Huntington’s annual Heritage Days Celebration has evolved from its beginning as a celebration organized for the three Latter-day Saint wards or congregations in the town to celebrate July 24, to an Independence Day celebration which brings in people from all over the county and state.

The celebration known as Heritage Days began in 1982, when a group, including Lund Leonard, Thelma Mills and Mark Justice introduced the event as a town celebration held on July 24 to celebrate the city’s heritage, but it was soon moved to July 4, because so many of the other towns in the county held celebrations on July 24.

For the first two years, the celebration, under Chairman Lund, continued as a church sponsored event. It was in the third year that the town began running it. After the city took over, Mark Justice served as chair for 10 years, followed by his wife who served for seven years. Altogether the Justices spearheaded the event for 17 years, seeing the event continue to draw many residents.

Mark Justice also explained that Thelma Mills, who served as financial secretary for many years had been “absolutely instrumental” in getting the celebration off the ground and in making it what it is today.

As the celebration evolved, the city became more and more involved monetarily, initially supplying a $3,000 budget, with most of the money for the event provided by local businesses. Since the city took over the celebration the budget provided by the city has grown to $25,000 for the 2009 celebration.
Many citizens have volunteered their time to help organize the event over the years. For the last eight years Tory Killian has helped the city council to coordinate the many features of the celebration.
Recently, members of the city council and others involved have tried to accommodate suggestions made by those who attend. Some of the most popular additions are the concerts, ice cream social, amusement rides and large blow-up toys that are offered free of charge. Additions that, according to Mayor Hilary Gordon, “the city council felt was something they could do to show our thanks to the citizens.”

Because of that desire, Heritage Days has grown to include both the classic and children’s parade, the Heritage Day’s Rodeo and kid’s rodeo, free concerts, amusement rides and large toys, pet show, baby contest and many more things for people to enjoy.

This popularity is perhaps most obvious when after the parades, attendees migrate to the Lion’s Park near the center of town, where nearly shoulder to shoulder they wander between vendor booths, concerts and amusement rides and toys, greeting friends, family and acquaintances they may not see at any other time of year.

Mark Justice commented that the longevity of the event is telling of how great an accomplishment organizers have made. “The celebration has been going on for so long that people take for granted that it’s going to happen each year,” he said.

Mayor Gordon revealed that she has heard from many people that the event draws numbers that rival the county fair. Though she admits the event draws a huge crowd, she submitted that the fair is spaced out over a longer period of time, so although the crowd may be larger on July 4-5, the fair probably draws more overall.

As to why it has grown, the mayor said, “I think maybe it’s that a lot of people are realizing that it’s a fun celebration. When you watch a parade, it takes you completely out of yourself. For me, I could never stand and watch a fun parade and still worry what was going on at the office. It is literally something that takes you away from yourself, to almost like an imaginary world. So, maybe that’s why we like it so much.”

She also believes people come because of the free amusements for children, which are part of the reason costs have gone up for the celebration. “You either decide to have a low key celebration with a very minimal cost, or you make it a big celebration. The big celebration brings in things for the children that they look forward to all year, so as long as we can, we will continue to do things for no cost,” she said.

Killian agreed, “We’ve been able to bring all of the entertainment and the toys and rides in for the kids for free. It is fun for the adults too. They’re able to kind of be kids for a day.”

Councilperson Julie Jones believes that part of the growth has come simply because “it’s the 4th of July. I think today people are more civic and more patriotic,” and so they want to participate in local celebrations.

County creates Ambulance Department

James L. Davis

The Emery County Commission approved the creation of an Emery County Ambulance Department in its July 1 meeting after a long and sometimes tense discussion on the merits of the proposal.

Ambulance services have been folded into the Emery County Sheriff’s Office for years and administration for the emergency service has been a responsibility assigned to a member of the sheriff’s office as an additional duty.

Commissioner Jeff Horrocks made the motion to create the new department, stepping down as commissioner chairman to make the motion.  Horrocks was given the responsibility as commission chairman when Commissioner Drew Sitterud was placed on paid administrative leave after charges were filed against him in Seventh District Court for alleged misuse of public monies.

Horrocks said he made the motion to create the ambulance department because he felt the service was of such importance to the county that it needed to be its own department.  The responsibility of administering the department was a duty assigned to Martin Wilson when he was a sergeant for the Sheriff’s Office.  Since his resignation his long list of responsibilities have been distributed out to the rest of the force, including those of ambulance service administration.  His position with the sheriff’s office has not been filled.

In a discussion about creating the ambulance department, Horrocks acknowledged the efforts of Sheriff Lamar Guymon to administer the responsibility of ambulance services over the years.
“The sheriff’s office put together this program 30 years ago, and the sheriff has done an outstanding job running it,” the commissioner said.  Horrocks, a retired Utah Highway Patrolman, said he remembered the days before the sheriff began running the program.  “I remember having to haul people in my patrol car.  I remember the sheriff doing the same thing,” he said.

Commissioner Gary Kofford acknowledged that the discussion to create an ambulance department has been ongoing for a period of time.

“In the past 30 years the sheriff has put together a pretty reputable organization.  This discussion has been going on for some time and I don’t know what the answer is.  There are two trains of thought on this,” Kofford said.  One of his concerns was that a newly created department would grow larger than it needed to be. The commissioner went on to say that budget restrictions made additional manpower in the sheriff’s office difficult.

Also proposed during the commission meeting and later approved was the creation of a part time position for an Ambulance Supervisor to be the head of the new department.

When asked why the part-time position could not be assigned to the sheriff’s office and the ambulance services responsibilities kept there, Horrocks said one of his concerns was that ambulance services would continue to be an additional duty at the sheriff’s office and as the county has grown the need for a dedicated position for ambulance administration has grown with it.

“I believe that this approach will enhance the program and relieve the workload on the sheriff’s office.  The more we can assist them the more they can focus on their primary responsibilities of law enforcement,” Horrocks said after commission meeting.

Both commissioners Horrocks and Kofford said that Sheriff Guymon, who was against the idea of creating a separate department, should not consider the motion a negative statement against him, his department or the job that has been done in ambulance service administration in the past.

After Horrocks made the motion to create the Ambulance Service Department, Kofford, after some hesitation, seconded the motion, stating that he still had reservations about whether it was the best thing to do.

With the motion to create an Ambulance Service Department approved, the commission approved advertising to hire a part-time Ambulance Service Supervisor, who will be responsible for all administrative functions for the department, including scheduling for training, budgeting and operations for county emergency medical technicians, who are paid volunteers in the county.  The supervisor will be responsible for administrating the $475,000 annual budget for ambulance services in the county, which covers everything from training to operations.

Laurie Jones retires as Orangeville Postmaster

Kathy Ockey

After working as Orangeville Postmaster for 25 years, on June 30, at 2:00 p.m., Laurie Jones officially handed the Post Office keys to appointed Officer in Charge, Debbie Newman, and began her well-deserved retirement. 

After working in other post offices for several years and with the retirement of previous Orangeville Postmaster, LaRee Brown, Laurie was assigned as the officer in charge until a new postmaster could be assigned.  She said she was very excited when she was selected as the new postmaster and it “has been a great experience to serve the wonderful citizens of Orangeville for the past 25 years; and it has been an honor to associate with these people on a daily basis.”
 
She also said it is like leaving her family, but she will be moving on with her life and relishing the opportunity for new experiences.  The citizens of Orangeville will miss seeing Laurie every day and the personal service, care and concern she gave to everyone.

Debbie Newman has assumed the appointment as Orangeville officer in charge until a new postmaster is assigned.  She previously worked as a clerk in the Huntington Post Office. She said she is happy to be at this post office and to be able to meet and serve the people of Orangeville.

Food Ranch completes renovation project

Josie Luke

Food Ranch in Orangeville has experienced many changes since owner Drew and Val LeRoy built the original store in 1981. Initially, a 3,000 square foot space, the building has been expanded twice; First to 6,000 square feet in 1986 and then to 23,000 square feet in 1996. In the past two years, LeRoy has again made major changes to the business to bring in local customers.

“That is our goal, bringing in the locals. They’re the ones that keep us in business. Everything that we do, we do for our guests, our customers. They’re what keeps us in business and they’re the reason that we’re here,” Drew stated.

So, two years ago, he contacted Associates Foods’ Art Department about doing a redesign of the building. Originally, they wanted the store to look like an old western town, complete with weathered wood and several roof levels, but fears of maintaining the used lumber led them to rethink their decision, eventually leading them to select a stucco facade.

The decision to make the change was made late in the year, so after waiting through the winter and an unusually unfriendly spring, only recently was the project to the outside of the building completed.
Along with the facade, Drew wanted to install a new roof. He related that decision would turn out to be a good one. They later realized the new roof being higher gave them the option of making the roof the same level across all of the additions to the building, which would lend itself to the stucco work they had planned.

During the two years, he also had new credit card reading gas pumps and a new island installed, along with new check-out scanners, three more ovens and new food in the deli and new refrigeration equipment in the store.

Though in remodeling and revamping Food Ranch, everything didn’t turn out exactly as the Associates Foods’ Art Department had envisioned, Drew is pleased with the results. “It’s finally finished and we’re happy with the outcome,” he said. “Now, we’ve brought it all together and we’re ready to bring in more business. We’re just ready to grow. We put ourselves in a position where we’re ready to do that.”

Food Ranch also has a new website, which highlights all of the many features offered in the store, such as bakery, hot deli, ice cream, clothing, sporting goods and catering services. They also offer online-only coupons, weekly seven day menus, community events calendar, and their newest feature: delivery services on Wednesday and Saturday. The website can be found at www.foodranchinc.com.
Drew reiterated that everything they have done to improve the store was to offer better service to the community. He stated, “Everything that we do, everything that we represent is trying to tie into the community and get them what they want.”

He hopes that by doing all this that local residents will do their shopping at his store. “We’re hoping that our local Emery County residents can look and say that here’s a locally owned and operated store that has tried to bring it all together to bring our community to do business here,” he said.

Chuck Ebeling ends more than 20 year mission as EMT

Josie Luke

The first day of July brought the end of a more than 20-year mission for Chuck Ebeling, as he retired from his position as an Emery County Emergency Medical Technician, but his efforts abide through those he helped to save or relieve from pain in his work, and significantly in the vocations of his sons.
Ebeling began his work as a member of the Hunter Emergency Rescue Team at the Hunter Power Plant in Castle Dale. He said he was asked then if he wanted to be an EMT, to which he replied affirmatively, and so in 1988, his mission began.

After more than 20 years, the retirement has been understandably a bit bittersweet for Ebeling, although he maintains that he was ready for the move. In an interview on July 2, he explained, “I wanted to go out with dignity,” and that though he knew it was the right decision, “you still kind of get a void there.”

He also reported although he no longer will be making ambulance runs, he will continue to work on the HERT team and as part of the Emery County Search and Rescue team.

Ebeling also was quite adamant that he didn’t want to talk about all the things he had done, he wanted to express his appreciation to “all of the people from Emery County,” to the Sheriff’s Office and to his fellow EMTs “for making me a better person.”

He said that one of the greatest benefits he had received from his job was from the Emery County community. “I have met so many people and made lots of friends. I have appreciated their compassion, their friendship, and their trust to say, ‘What do I need to do,’ when something was wrong.”

This compassion he received from citizens, is the compassion he says marks the work of other EMTs. He stated, “You’ve got to get into EMS for the the compassion. When I first got into it, it was for the adrenaline rush, then came the compassion. If you do it for compassion, the rewards you’ll get back are beyond anything.” 

This compassion and loyalty rubbed off on Ebeling’s sons, Chris and Bryan. He joked, “I would have bet 10 years ago, my son Bryan wouldn’t become a nurse,” but now Bryan is just that, a trauma nurse, and his son Chris works as a canine police officer.

His compassion as an EMT also led to love and respect from those he helped. Ebeling spoke of many instances when someone he didn’t recognize came to him and asked, “Do you remember me?” At first he said he didn’t, but the person would describe their experience and then he would remember. “EMS is a very rewarding thing, so rewarding when people came back years later. When you’re EMS, they remember you,” he commented.

He still keeps a scrapbook of cards and letters he has received from children and adults he served on ambulance runs, along with certificates he received from training, and awards for some of his most critical cases.

And yet, with all the awards and the recognition, at the end of the interview, he again went back to his desire to thank the people he had met and worked with. He said, “I don’t want the recognition, I want to thank the county,” again displaying the compassion and loyalty he leaves behind.

Local trainers fare well at Pinto Championship

The Pinto Horse Association of America held their annual World Championship Show in Tulsa, Okla., June 8-21.
 
For the second year in a row Rising Sun Quarter Horses of Castle Dale hauled horses from Utah, Arizona, Idaho and California to compete in this prestigious event.  In 2007 Hal and April Schiffner from Rising Sun took four horses and returned home to Utah with a World Champion.  They enjoyed the show so much that they put together a show string for 2008 especially for this show and invited several other people to attend with them. 

All together 11 horses were in the Rising Sun barn in Tulsa for 2008.  On June 16 “RH Just Ledoux It” a 3-year-old gelding owned by Mae and Robin Hutchins of Perris, Calif., was named Reserve World Champion Breeding Stock Gelding.  This nice gelding was trained and shown by Hal.  Later in the week Hal and RH Just Ledoux it were named 3rd place overall in Breeding Stock Trail.

That same day “Comedy Star” a 4-year-old stallion was named Reserve World Champion Stallion.  He is owned and was shown in the Amateur Class by Carol Stiner of Kuna, Idaho and shown in the Open Class by Schiffner, where he placed 3rd overall.

“Hi Country Socks”  an aged Gelding took  4th place overall in the Youth Leadline class, shown by Bailey Keele  who is 7 years old and lives in Richfield.

 “Comedy Kid” a yearling gelding, took 4th place overall in Yearling Breeding Stock Geldings. He is owned by Carol Stiner of Kuna and was shown by Schiffner

On  June 18, “Commotion Caused” a weanling stallion owned by John and Pam Padilla of Goodyear, Ariz., won the great honor of World Champion.  He was trained and shown by Schiffner, and  the win was very exciting both for Hal and his owners, who plan to have Hal exhibit him at the Paint World Show in November in Fort Worth, Texas.  Having lost his accomplished sire in February of this year, he is a shining star and possible replacement for John and Pam.  This was his first show and he is just starting  to fill the big shoes of his sire.

Also on June 18, “”RJK Wheel Of Fortune”  a 2-year- old gelding, won  the  World Champion designation. He is owned and was shown by Ric Keele of Richfield.

“Im Here To Play” a 4 year old mare was 4th place overall in Tobiano Mares.  She is also owned and was shown by Ric Keele of Richfield.

Tulsa is always rainy and warm in June but the Rising Sun gang barely noticed, having one full week of busy showing.  LaDonna Nelson from Price has worked for Rising Sun for more than two years and is a major part of the success story.  LaDonna fits and grooms all of the show horses for the farm.  This annual world championship show offers something for everyone, including classes for ponies, minis and gaited horses registered with the Pinto Horse Association of America.  There is a costume class, a dog show (complete with costumes), a trainer’s leadline class and the association also hosts a free barbecue with live entertainment.

Anyone wishing for information on this show or the Pinto Horse Association of America can contact them at www.pinto.org or phone them at 405-491-0111.  They can also contact Hal Schiffner at 435-749-7120. He would be happy to talk to you about registering your spotted horse as a Pinto.

Wilderness Program up and Running in Huntington

Josie Luke

Many residents of Emery County appreciate the surrounding area because of the ability they have to have two very different environments in such close proximity, with the Manti la Sal Mountains to the west and the San Rafael Swell to the east; this also made the area a perfect place for a group of entrepreneurs looking for an area to run a wilderness therapy program.

Elements Wilderness Program is one of the newest businesses to select Emery County as the place to base their operations. With an office in Huntington, the program is now up and running, and began accepting clients on May 30.

Wilderness therapy is emerging as a viable alternative option for the treatment of youth. It incorporates group and individual therapy with the opportunity for youth to learn how to take care of themselves and cooperate with others while working through challenges in an unfamiliar environment.

 Program Director Karen Hesselman described the group’s reasons for selecting the area. “Our first thought was that we’d like to be a little bit closer to our home, Salt Lake, but there really was nothing remote that would work. The elevation was a problem because we need two different field areas, one for summer and one for winter,” she said.

“So, Huntington and Emery County, this strip along Highway 10, was perfect because you have the Forest on one side and you have the Swell on the other. This is really nice, just being in between the two different field areas. ”

She also explained another benefit to the location-- safety, saying, “The time it will take for us to get to the group on either side is quick and that is a big deal for us for safety. It seems like the perfect fit.”

The partners in the business are Hesselman, Admissions Director John Karren, and Clinical Director Lynn Smith. All have previous experience with similar programs. They joined to organize a program they believe will benefit those adolescents who are involved. “We want to go back to the real wilderness piece, as in using the outdoors as a therapy tool, getting rid of all the distractions,” Hesselman stated.  

The Field Director Dan Shorb explained their program’s approach. “This program is smaller and we’re trying to specialize by dealing with less, what we would call, clinical kids, meaning, students that aren’t acting out as much as others in other programs,” he said. “I think our specialization is really a kind of a symbol of where this genre of educational programs has gone. From its real roots of being kind of boot camp style, to now where its gone to the other extreme to where its very therapeutic and very clinical.”

In this light, in the program the youth are referred to as students and staff are called field mentors. For every group of 10 students, there are four field mentors assigned. The field mentors will work with the students for eight days and then have six days off, with a another group of mentors alternating in each week.     

Most students will be referred to the program through an educational consultant who is versed in the many different treatment types and treatment providers, and selects a specific program according to the needs of the client. Parents can also find such programs online. Information on the Elements program can be found at www.elementswilderness.com.

Hesselman also revealed that it took a great deal of time to get permits and licenses in hand for the group to finally be able to open such a business in the area. A license had to be granted from the state, a business license from the city, and permits from the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.  

She related, “It would come and go, one day it would be really exciting and I would think ‘everything’s working perfectly,’ and then the next day, you’re just totally depressed and depleted because there would be another glitch. It was up and down a lot, but everything seems to be working out now that we’re up and running.”

Hesselman and her partners are pleased to be in the area and plan to look to the community for support. “We still need a lot of local support to make it happen. We will need more employees as we start to go, so I hope everyone is open to what we have to offer and know that we are very interested in bringing the community into what we’re doing. We do want to know the community and use the resources and hopefully they’re accepting,” she said.

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.

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.

Selling Out for a T-Shirt

James L. Davis

When I was younger I did my best to be a generic person.  If a person could be a flavor then I was plain.  My kids will tell you that I’m still pretty plain.

The only designer clothing I wore was designed by Levi-Straus.  I wouldn’t wear hats with logos, I wouldn’t wear T-shirts with logos and all of my shoes came from Payless.  There were a couple of reasons why I did this, the first being that I am cheap.

While that may be the primary reason the reason I gave people to explain why I did not wear T-shirts with the Nike swoosh or polo shirts with that stupid little alligator that they used to have sewn on the front was because I was not a billboard for corporate America.  That’s right, I was a rebel, who just happened to be cheap, which sounded a whole lot better than just saying I was cheap.

I lived this way for a number of years, being a generic person in a corporate logo world, and I would walk among the corporate sellouts patting myself on the back and feeling very wise and good.  And then, like most rebels with a cause, the corporate world came out with something that I thought was great and so I sold out with shockingly little regard to my previous convictions.

I sold out for a T-shirt.  Not just any T-shirt mind you, but a T-shirt that had been silk screened with the words Bite Me on it.  I thought this was pretty much the coolest shirt ever made and so I bought one and wore it every day.  I thought the shirt was cool because that is what I wanted to say to a long list of people on any given day.  I was in the military at the time and couldn’t tell people to bite me because if I did so it would lead to many nasty and unpleasant things.  What nasty and unpleasant things I was not entirely sure, but my drill instructor had warned me of the nasty and unpleasant things the military would do to me if I didn’t comply so many times, that I believed him completely.  So the T-shirt was my way of expressing myself without actually expressing myself.

I didn’t consider myself a sell-out because the message was only intended to sell T-shirts, not an entire corporation and, better yet, the message of the shirt was subversive.  I was still a rebel with a cause, but I was no longer generic. I was also young and single at the time, so while I wanted to remain a rebel with a cause, I also wanted to be something other than generic.  Generic people have trouble getting dates.

The super cool Bite Me shirt helped in that regard as well, because one day while minding my own business an attractive young woman walked up to me, read my shirt and then bit me.  I thought it was the greatest pickup line ever, but since I was a guy and I was the one being picked up, she could have come up to me, hit me over the head with a club and dragged me away by the hair and I would have been pretty happy about the whole thing.  That’s one of the fundamental differences between men and women.

But entering a relationship with a woman who introduces herself to you by biting you on the arm does have its share of problems.  For instance, while she was young and attractive, she was also seriously unbalanced.  Unfortunately it took me several months of dating to really explore, understand and become terrified by the depths of her unbalanced condition.  That is one of the fundamental similarities between men and women.  Both sexes are rather dense when it comes to healthy relationships.

Of course with the great success of my shirt in assisting me in finding a young and attractive and unstable woman to date, it wasn’t long before I completely sold out on the whole rebel with a cause philosophy.  I became a collector of T-shirts with sarcastic sayings on them.

One of my favorite shirts was one that simply said in large block letters, “Stupidity is Not a Crime, So You are Free to Go.”  While I liked the shirt when I first bought it, I truly grew to love it one day when a woman paused to read the shirt and then asked me if I was a police officer.  I managed to keep a straight face when I said no.  Barely.

When I was a human resource manager my favorite sarcastic shirt proclaimed “Good Morning, Let the Stress Begin.”  I believe a T-shirt so inscribed should be issued to every human resource manager in the world.

But none of those shirts compare to my Bite Me shirt and not only because wearing it led to a short, tumultuous relationship with a young and attractive and unbalanced woman.

I still have a small collection of T-shirts with sarcastic sayings on them, but over the years I have stopped wearing as many T-shirts because I have come to the realization that the older I get the more obvious it becomes when I wear such a T-shirt, that I may in fact need to purchase a bra.  For this reason my T-shirt wearing days are limited and the T-shirts I wear today more closely resemble a tent.
My Bite Me T-shirt is long gone now, which is probably for the best.  If I were to wear it today the only reaction I would probably get is to have people sick their dog on me.

Perfectly Reasonable Things to Keep in Your Pockets

Casey Wood

As you may or may not have read in my father’s ‘Dazed’ column a while back, I keep unusual things in my pockets, things that most people don’t. 

In fact it is such a defining characteristic that when naming this column, the title ‘Casey’s Pockets’ was actually the first choice, and was supposed to be the name of it, but by some slight of hand the column was mistakenly named ‘Casey’s World.’  In any event I am here to tell you some of the ‘outrageous’ and not so outrageous contents of my pockets, past and present, and explain the reasoning behind carrying each of them.  It is up to you to decide if the things I carry are really ‘outrageous’ or just common sense.  So here it goes:

I carry at least two pens, preferable clicky and ball-point, and two pencils, which must be mechanical.  The reasoning behind carrying two of each is in case one runs out of either lead or ink, in which case, I have a back-up.  The reasoning behind clicky ball-point pens is 1) the tip is most easily accessible that way, and 2) the ink is left on the page clean and without smudges.  The reasoning behind mechanical pencils is essentially the fact that both the lead and erasers can be reloaded.  I mean we are in the 21st century, using a pencil sharpener is prehistoric. 

I carry chap-stick.  Generally Lizard Lips brand.  I find that not only does this lip balm get the job done, it’s non-toxic and tastes like French Vanilla.

I carry a knife.  Basically because often times I need to cut things, or use it as a screw driver, plus it’s nice to be able to brandish a sharp, two-bladed weapon at any given time.  It has been recommended that I use a Leatherman, and I have one, but I find that it’s too bulky to carry.  Besides, I’m lazy and don’t want to take it out of the case every time before I can use it.

I carry a lighter.  You never know when you may need to light a candle, or a fire, or a firework, or anything else.  Also, a lighter can create hours of entertainment in a dull situation.

I carry my cell phone, for obvious reasons.  What can I say, having music, texting, video games, a calendar, a calculator, and the ability to make phone calls at any given time is a pretty important part of who I am. 

I carry a camera.  This is a big problem to my parents, but it makes perfect sense to me.  It’s nice to be able to snap a picture of something amazing at any given time, not to mention the quality of a phone camera isn’t comparable. 

I carry my wallet, once again for obvious reasons.  Pictures, money, ID, cards, etc.

I carry either gum or mints.  Gives me something to put in my mouth and occupy the ‘ol ADHD, not to mention it’s nice to have something to make my breath smell better.

I carry my key-chain, which has the key to both businesses I work for, my car’s keyless entry, and my flash drive.  Gotta get into my car, my work, and be able to save files at a moments notice.

Finally I carry Post-It notes.  Fairly often I need to write down a message so I don’t forget something.  It’s the easiest way to do it, because I don’t write on my hands.  My body is a temple after all. 

The above are things I carry with me pretty much daily.  I rarely if ever leave home without them.  Below are a few of the things I have carried in the past, many of which still make perfectly logical sense to me, but after either running out of the thing, or being hounded by my parents long enough about getting rid of it, I stopped carrying them.

Once upon a time I carried my TI-86 calculator in my pocket.  It was good basically because 1) it had games on it to provide me entertainment at school, and 2) you never know when you are going to need to calculate something.  Unfortunately in 9th grade it was stolen out of my book-bag during P.E. and never recovered.

In the past I also carried my PDA in my pocket.  It was useful for having phone numbers (before I got my cell phone), music, video games, a calculator, basically everything my phone does minus texting and phone calls.  At one point I carried both my TI-86 and my PDA.  My phone replaced the PDA.

White-out.  OK white-out is extremely logical.  I prefer to use pens, and pens can not erase, so I had white out, just in case.  I ran out and my mom refused to buy me more, and of course I wasn’t going to use my own money to buy more.

The craziest, but still in my opinion useful thing I carried was a stapler.  Not a full size stapler, just a mini-stapler.  I happened to be stapling things a lot at that time and it seemed the easiest route to travel, plus staplers can be used to shoot staples at unsuspecting people.

I’ve had other odd things that I have carried but quickly decided they were not logical, mostly because they didn’t fit, and had to find different places to carry them. The most recent, and the one that comes to mind first is my Rubik’s Cube.

So there you have it, the things I carry, and the reasoning behind each of them. Now they don’t seem so illogical, do they?  If you agree with me on this matter, feel free to agree with me to my parents, and then maybe they’ll get off my back.  Also if you come up with any other logical things for me to carry, let me know and I’ll take them into consideration.  In the meantime, you have just explored Casey’s Pockets.

Kristine Story Enjoys Being a ‘Heritage Cook’

Kathy Ockey

Kristine Story learned how to cook like many other good cooks – from her mother, Merene Humphrey.  She also helps to continue the area tradition of “The Humphrey Lamb Fry and Scones”.  Kristine said she likes to cook, especially for her family. None of her four children are now at home, so when they do return she tries to cook their favorite dishes.  When daughter Christy returned from her mission they had fried lamb and scones – even though it was in the middle of the winter.  She said it is also hard to scale down the amount of food she cooks for her and her husband, Dwayne, after cooking large portions of food for so many years.

Kristine said when Joe’s Valley Dam was dedicated her father, Mark Humphrey, suggested serving lamb and scones for lunch.  This was a huge undertaking with several hundred people expected for the meal.  Her mother created the recipe for the scones, and the “Humphrey Lamb Fry” was started and has continued throughout the years with the children carrying on the tradition.

Kristine’s mother was known for her scones and other delicious dishes, but her father’s specialty was Honey candy.  She said she makes it, but not like her father and anyone who had his honey candy know how delicious it is.

When asked what was her favorite dish to cook she said it depended on the time of year, “Soup when it is cold, and lamb and scones in the summer”.

Following is Kristine and Merene Humphrey’s scone recipe and also her father’s honey candy recipe.

Humphrey Sourdough Scones
This recipe makes a large batch (100 scones)

4 cups milk, scalded
3 cups starter (Recipe below)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons soda
1 tablespoon yeast
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup oil or melted shortening

Enough flour to make soft dough, about 7 cups.  (The dough should be the consistency of sweet dough.)
Mix milk, sugar, salt and oil together and add about 2 cups flour.  Mix well and let stand.  Add soda to the starter and mix well.  Put yeast in1/4 cup water with a teaspoon of sugar and let it get bubbly.  Add starter to the milk mixture and two cups of flour.  Beat well and let it set for 10 minutes.  Add yeast to the mixture and more flour.  Beat well and let it stand for 20 minutes.  Add flour to make soft dough.  Knead.  The more you knead, the better the scones it will make.  Let raise until double in bulk and pull out dough to form scones.  Set on oiled cookie sheets or oiled tin foil.  Raise until double in bulk.  Fry in deep fat.

Do not be concerned if liquid separates from batter after standing for several days. Stir only when removing starter or replenishing batter. Do not store starter in aluminum, only in Crock, glass or plastic jar. Each time starter is removed, replenish with 1 cup flour and 1 cup evaporated milk, then let set for 48 hours or until it becomes bubbly; at least 12 hours. Starter may be frozen.

 

Mark’s Famous Honey Candy

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup water
Pinch of salt

In a heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients.  Cook, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.  Then cook over medium-high heat, stirring as little as possible, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer, or until a little mixture dropped into cold water forms a hard ball.  Remove from heat and pout onto buttered, shallow pan or platter to cool.  When cool enough to handle, pull with buttered fingers until taffy is satin smooth and ropy.  Cut into bite-size pieces with buttered scissors and wrap in wax paper, if desired.  Makes 1 1/2 pounds of candy.

It’s Time for Us to Come Together

Kathy Ockey

The citizens of the United States of America recently celebrated the founding of our nation on the Fourth of July with parades, fireworks, town and family gatherings, and recreation in many forms.  Do we, as a nation of citizens, realize what had to transpire to organize this nation and to give us the freedoms we enjoy?

A brief history lesson:  After the colonists won their independence from England, they were thankful they had won their freedom from England but the states were separate and not ready to unite.  Each of these states was very different but it soon become apparent they would have to be united in order to grow.  Delegates from each state got together and developed a plan originally called a “firm league of friendship” that later became the Articles of Confederation.

After two years it became obvious that the Articles of Confederation was weak, the people were in debt and the states were printing money that was worthless.  There was no real power behind the government.  It also became obvious that the articles were impossible to amend and there had to be a stronger central government if the nation was going to survive.  Delegates from each state met in Philadelphia to come up with a plan for this new nation.

Virginia Governor, Edmund Randolph, presented the Virginia Plan, which outlined a government with three branches, the executive, the legislative, and the judicial.  Many delegates were angry that the word “national” was used because they didn’t want the states to lose power.  There was also conflict about representation, individual rights and state rights.  After much debate and many people believe “inspiration”, differences were resolved and the United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787 by the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.  It was later ratified by conventions in each state in the name of “The People”.  It has since been amended 17 times, the first 10 amendments are known as the Bill of Rights.  Interestingly, when an amendment to the constitution is made, it is to the existing text without removing what already exists.

Our nation developed a document that overshadows all other governments and nations on earth.  Does our country have problems?  Yes, we have the war in Iraq, gas prices, economy, environment, health care, housing, taxes and politicians who don’t follow up on promises.  But consider the overall picture.  We are the most prosperous and powerful nation in the world.  We have more freedoms than any other country.  Our educational systems are without equal.  We can speak our minds freely and disagree just as freely.  We can travel where and when we want to.  We have more opportunity for education and employment than anywhere else in the world.  We can read books, news, and watch television, and be on the internet as much as we want to.  We can go to church and worship however we want to and if we want to.

During the elections we all become upset with the candidates and their rhetoric.  We become discouraged and wonder if our votes really count.  We sometimes wonder what this nation is coming to and what will have to happen to help us survive in these turbulent times.  Our Constitution was ratified in each state in the name of “The People.”  Could it be that it is time for each individual to take the responsibility to improve their own lives and surroundings and to help others who are not as fortunate as we are? Is it time for everyone to become involved in improving our society?  By each person doing a little bit, collectively a lot can be accomplished. Times may be difficult and there are troubles all around us but would you really want to live anywhere else in the world?  There are people all over the world that want to come to the United States of America and have what we have.  They are coming to America both legally and illegally.  What do we have that they don’t have?  The Constitution of the United States which made it possible for us to have the lives we have today.  The Preamble states:  “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to  ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”.  In spite of our “problems,” we really are the greatest nation on earth.

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.

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.
