County growth rate slows among U.S. counties in 2008 Birth rate still high compared to nation by Tim Gillie STAFF WRITER

Tooele County’s status as a population growth leader nationwide slipped a little lower in 2008, according to data recently released by the U.S. Census

Bureau. The county’s 4 percent growth rate puts it in a tie with Utah’s Morgan County for No. 43 among the 3,193 counties in the U.S. for 2008 growth. Population figures reported by the U.S. Census bureau are based on estimates for July 1 of each year. Tooele County added 2,201 people in 2008, according to population estimates for U.S. counties, metropolitan and micropolitan areas, released

March 19 by the census bureau. Back in 2001, Tooele County’s growth rate of 4.9 percent landed it in the No. 17 spot among U.S. counties. The county has slid downward since then, placing as No. 29 for growth among U.S. counties in 2007. Tooele ranks No. 6 among Utah counties in its overall growth rate, with Rich County at 5.6 percent giving it a SEE CENSUS PAGE A7 ➤

Wendover bucking the odds

IN MEMORIAM

by Tim Gillie STAFF WRITER

Wendover remains a bright spot for gambling despite an overall downturn in gaming revenue in Nevada during the worst recession in the country in over 20 years. The taxable revenue report for January 2009 from the Nevada State Gaming Control Board shows taxable revenue in downtown Las Vegas is down 25.2 percent; the Las Vegas strip area down 32.9 percent; the Mesquite area down 15.2 percent; the Reno area down 2 percent; and North Shore Lake Tahoe down 10.2 percent. The figures for Wendover go against the trend. In January 2009, taxable gaming revenue for the Wendover area of Elko County was up 16.5 percent. “Business is holding pretty steady,” said Saul Andradea, spokesperson for the Peppermill, Rainbow, and Montego Bay Hotels and Casinos. “I would not say it is booming, but it is definitely better than other areas of Nevada.” SEE WENDOVER PAGE A5 ➤ photography / Maegan Burr

Two children were injured in two separate ATV accidents in Tooele County over the weekend. The first happened just before noon on Saturday when a 5-year-old boy riding a mini dirt bike crashed into a 7-year-old boy at the Knolls recreation area, according to the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office. The impact broke the 5-year-old’s leg and he was flown to Primary Children’s Medical Center. The other boy was not injured. Later that evening, Tooele City police were dispatched to a medical call involving an ATV accident at the old airport. “When they got there a 6-year-old with a head injury was laying at the bottom of a gravel pit,” said Lt. Paul Wimmer, of the Tooele City Police Department. The boy had been riding a four-wheeler with his grandfather at about 6 p.m. in the area, which features several gravel drainage ponds, when the man tried to drive the ATV up a steep embankment. The movement caused the ATV to tip over backward, throwing the youngster from the machine, Wimmer said. Neither rider was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The child was air-lifted to Primary Children’s Medical Center with head injuries. The grandfather SEE ATV PAGE A5 ➤

Jury convicts I-80 motorist of negligent homicide by Jamie Belnap STAFF WRITER

A 23-year-old Farmington man was convicted by a jury in 3rd District Court Thursday of negligent homicide for causing an accident on I-80 last May that left a Bosnian man dead. Adam M. Edson was traveling over 100 miles per hour in a Ford Escape SUV in the westbound lanes of the interstate on May 30 when he approached a Nissan Frontier pickup traveling in the left lane. The pickup attempted to change lanes to let faster traffic pass and upon doing so was clipped from behind by Edson, who was trying to pass the slower vehicle on the right. The impact caused the pickup to veer down the roadside embankment and flip into the air. It landed on its hood and rolled again, peeling off the roof of the pickup in the process, before coming to a stop on the driver’s side in 5 inches of water on the right side of the road. Barbajram Ristemi, 66, and

Adam M. Edson

his wife Rukinja Ristemi, 61, who were visiting from Bosnia, were not wearing seat belts at the time of the accident and were thrown from the back seat of the vehicle while it was in the air. Barbajram was pronounced dead at the scene and Rukinja was flown to a Salt Lake City hospital in critical condition. The driver, Mirsad Sabic, 39, and his wife, Enes Sabic, 43, of West Valley City, who was in the passenger’s seat, were wearing

seat belts and were able to pull themselves from the wreckage. Both sustained serious injuries and were also airlifted to Salt Lake City hospitals. Following the collision, Edson’s SUV veered off the interstate to the left and came to a stop in the center median. Edson was not injured. Edson was arrested and booked into the Tooele County Jail on charges of negligent homicide and reckless driving. Those charges were later amended to reflect only a single count of negligent homicide — a class A misdemeanor. Edson pled not guilty to the charge in June and the case was scheduled for a jury trial. “Why are you here today?” Tooele County Deputy Attorney Gary Searle asked the jury during Thursday’s court proceedings. “You are here because the state of Utah disagrees with Mr. Edson about what is reasonable. If you believe that driving 100 to 110 mph while shooting the gap between traffic is reasonable,

then you should just find him not guilty and we’ll end this.” Searle then recounted the cross-examination of Ben Hansen, a motorist who had been driving behind the pickup and watched the accident unfold. Hansen had the cruise control set on his vehicle that day and knew Edson was driving significantly faster than the speed limit, Searle said. “Mr. Hansen likes fast cars and has a lot of experience driving them. He recognizes when someone is passing him at a fast rate of speed,” Searle said. “Criminal negligence is unjustifiable risk that you ought to be aware of. What justification does someone have to drive 100 mph on the freeway with other traffic present?” Furthermore, Searle said there had been some indication made by the defense during court proceedings that the victim’s vehicle could be partly to blame for the accident for changing lanes when it did. “Mr. Edson ought to have

known that that car could have changed lanes,” Searle said. “If he was going 80 mph it would have been a simple accident and we wouldn’t be here today. Someone lost their life because [Edson] was in a hurry and justified going fast. He didn’t have time to react.” State law allows for a vehicle to pass another vehicle on the right, so long as the movement is done with safety, according to the jury instruction sheet read by Judge Stephen Henriod prior to the jury retiring to deliberate. “Is 100 to 110 mph a movement with safety?” Searle asked the jury emphatically. “This is not a simple accident. Reasonable people in our society ought to have known that there was a substantial likelihood of someone dying. If you are driving reasonably you have time to react. He wasn’t and someone lost their life.” Defense attorney Kenneth Brown said criminal negligence has to do with the risk that a person perceives.

“He has to fail to perceive that his negligence will cause death,” Brown said. The death occurred because of the ejection from the vehicle, Brown said, noting the front seat passengers were ultimately fine because they were properly restrained. “You have to decide if [Edson] caused death, not he and a number of other things,” Brown said. “I’m not saying Edson was the model of freeway driving. He was speeding, but we don’t know exactly how fast. We’re not sending him out of here saying ‘It’s OK what you did.’ We’re saying there is a gap in the evidence. If the charge was speeding we’d plead guilty and be out of here. That’s not the charge.” After deliberating for two and a half hours, the six-member jury returned with a guilty verdict. Edson faces up to a year in jail when he appears for sentencing May 12. Until then, Henriod ordered Edson not to drive under any circumstances. jamieb@tooeletranscript.com

800 cars drive through for emergency medication drill by Sarah Miley STAFF WRITER

The viability of using a drivethrough system to distribute medication in the event of an emergency was tested in Tooele

County on Saturday, and organizers are calling the exercise a success. The exercise was one of the first nationwide to see how quickly antiviral medication could be dispersed to the public in the event of a bioterrorism attack, flu pandemic or other emergency or disaster via drive-through windows at financial institutions. The Tooele and Grantsville branches of HeritageWest Credit Union participated in the test. “We consider the exercise a great success from our standpoint,” said Bucky Whitehouse, public information officer with the Tooele County Health Department, which organized the exercise. “We saw 2,363 people, and 809 vehicles at both the Tooele and Grantsville locations.” The breakdown of vehicles at the Tooele HeritageWest Credit Union location was 529 in that two-hour span of time. Participants took already filled-out forms through the drive-through at the two branches and in return received a gold dollar, simulating the dispersal of medication. “We really appreciate the public’s willingness to participate,” Whitehouse said. “This is one of the first types of drills that has required a large public participation in order to test the readiness or appropriateness of drive-through windows

to be used in such a fashion. It was a great turnout.” Whitehouse said organizers learned from Saturday’s test that the drawer windows were faster than the pneumatic tubes, just because of the air required to push the tubes through.

This particular method of medication distribution can be beneficial as it decreases the amount of health department staff needed to get medication out quickly, in addition to decreasing the risk of spreading disease because the drive-

through method doesn’t require direct interaction between those giving and those receiving the medication. Representatives from various organizations — statewide and nationally — were in attendance to watch the drill and see

GJHS drama teacher acts on experience to teach by Emma Penrod CORRESPONDENT

At age 45, Grantsville Jr. High School drama teacher Glen Carpenter hasn’t been teaching as long as one might expect — only two years. But he hasn’t let his lack of teaching experience stop him from actively sharing a wealth of stage knowledge from his 30-year acting career with his students. Carpenter believes his students learn better when taught by example. Though he teaches in a traditional classroom and produces the occasional school play, he also spends part of his time scheduling field trips to visit professional plays and other performances across the Salt Lake Valley, and the remaining time is spent participating in local theatrical productions. “We learn by doing and by seeing,” Carpenter said. “I think the best way to learn theater is to see theater.” Carpenter began acting his senior year in high school in Washington before moving to the Salt Lake Valley in 1997. After a number of years working in various Salt Lake City hotels, Carpenter decided to return to the University of Utah to earn a teaching degree. “I just decided one day that the best way to share my talents would be to become a teacher,” he said. But over the past two years, Carpenter has learned there is more to enjoy about his new career choice than just putting on school plays. “I love my job,” Carpenter said. “I love both theater and teaching, but I adore working with these students.” Despite some movements to remove extracurricular fine arts

Carpenter brings a multitude of stage presence to his job and will continue at Stansbury High School this fall. from public school, Carpenter feels the need is still present. “Not all kids are athletes,” he said. “Some need a whole different range [of activities] to hone their talents. For some of these kids, this is the only way they’ll ever experience this part of culture.” In addition to his teaching career, Carpenter is heavily involved in community theatrical productions. He currently plays the part of Nicely-Nicely Johnson in a production of “Guys and Dolls” at Magna’s Empress Theatre, until March 30, and will be directing his first outdoor show at this summer’s annual

He will be directing “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” with the junior high this coming April. “There’s such a wealth of talent out here,” Carpenter said. “And the productions I have been involved in have only increased in talent.” Carpenter hopes his involvement in community events will encourage his students to do the same. “It’s always great to have the

students involved,” he said, again citing his learning-bydoing mantra. Carpenter plans to take his teaching philosophy with him next year when he becomes the drama instructor at Stansbury High School this fall. “I’m excited to be going to Stansbury,” he said. “This school can be nothing but a benefit to the community.” Carpenter is already setting up a tentative, but ambitious schedule for drama students at the new school. He hopes to perform two musicals and one Shakespearean play in the first year, and continue to produce four annual shows once the school has become better established. “With the high school age kids I can introduce more literature and history,” Carpenter said. “I plan to take everything to the next level.”

how it worked. Salt Lake County, toward the end of the summer, will be conducting a similar test after observing the Tooele test. “They were really unsure as to whether the system would work in the Salt Lake area, but after watching Tooele they decided they’ll be trying one as well,” Whitehouse said. He added a unique aspect of this particular project is that HeritageWest provided financial transactions at the same time as the exercise. “Both were available to the patrons so we’ve got some very interesting numbers as to how many financial transactions can happen at the same time you’re passing out medication,” he said. Representatives from 11 different agencies came together in the drill and they worked together seamlessly, Whitehouse said. “You couldn’t tell they didn’t work together on a daily basis,” he said. “They cooperated and worked so well together they looked like they had been doing it for years.” Whitehouse also thanked the health department and HeritageWest Credit Union staff for their hard work throughout the exercise. “We appreciate everyone’s involvement in making the drill a success,” he said.

Stockton sewer system plan to go before Utah Water Quality Board by Missy Thompson STAFF WRITER

Stockton Town Council voted Thursday to present the Utah Water Quality Board with a proposal that would pay for a new sewer system as part of the federal government stimulus package. In front of a crowd of approximately 50 Stockton residents, all four council members unanimously agreed they would take the next step toward a city-wide sewer system that would replace the current septic system. “We’re probably going to be asking for $10 million total,” said Stockton Mayor Dan Rydalch. “I think $4 or $3.5 million will be a

loan and the rest will be a grant if they give it to us.” The Utah Water Quality Board meets April 1 in St. George. If they deny the town’s request, or state a figure higher than $43 per month for residents as their sewer bill, the proposal will be dead. Stockton residents currently pay $34 for garbage and water. The new sewer system will tack on a separate $43 to residents’ bills for a total of $77 a month for these services. When the plan was originally drawn up in 2005, estimates for the sewer system would have cost residents between $55 and $75 for sewer alone. “This gets us back to the origi-

nal price a month when we first started,” Rydalch said. “It’s a good deal to get the money.” Rydalch said some of the residents in attendance at the meeting were concerned with hooking up their homes to the proposed sewer line, which could cost around $2,500. “They’re going to have to pay the price to hook up to the town’s line,” he said. “The USDA told us they could help with individual loans if we need it.” Lower income residents can also apply for a community block grant for help getting hooked up to the line. Where the hook-ups are located can also raise or lower the price. If the hook-ups are in the back of

the house it will cost more to run a line to where the sewer line would be at the front of the house. “Other people were concerned with how it will slow down traffic while under construction,” said Rydalch, adding that the main line would run down Connor Avenue. “Tearing up the roads was a concern, but our roads are so bad I’m hoping it will make it better when they’re through.” Because all of the plans for this project are already put together, Rydalch said they could bid the project by June 1. “Hopefully we can get the money to do it,” Rydalch said, “because we need to do it.” missy@tooeletranscript.com

ID kits aid parents in event of abduction by Jamie Belnap STAFF WRITER

Local law enforcement agencies have accomplished their goal of helping to add piece of mind to Tooele County parents by putting an identification kit in the hands of every school-aged child. “It’s been a project that the Utah Sheriff’s Association has had since 2004,” said Tooele County Sheriff Frank Park. “And

this year we were finally able to secure the remaining funds that we needed to accomplish our goal.” The purpose of the kit is to provide parents and guardians with immediate information to provide to law enforcement for quick action in the event of an abduction. Nearly 13,000 kits — which feature an identification card inclusive of detailed personal information including a current

photograph, a set of fingerprints, and a DNA sample — were given to the Tooele County School District for distribution last week. “Once the items are collected they are stored at home,” Park said. The initiative began nationwide in 1997, and Utah caught hold of the goal in 2004 and starting raising money through mailers and other business donations. Park said the alarming statistics

related to child abduction drove the initiative. “800,000 children go missing in the United States each year,” Park said. “In 1997, less than 2 percent of parents had a copy of their child’s fingerprints.” Tooele County was the first in the state to receive the kits, according to Park. “Missing children is one of the most traumatic things that we deal with in law enforcement and probably the most traumatic thing that a family can go through,” Park said. “What we are putting in their hands is something that law enforcement can readily access in case a child is in danger.” Park said the kit is simple to use, but if a parent has questions law enforcement can be contacted for help. “Being the father of children, it’s piece of mind to know that you have this information in case, heaven forbid, you ever need to use it,” Park said. “And we in the law enforcement community are happy to provide it.” jamieb@tooeletranscript.com

Voice of Tooele County since 1894

OUR VIEW

Thanks to Tooele police for action against graffiti It seems the effort by the Tooele City Police Department to curb the city’s graffiti problem is working. As was reported in last Tuesday’s edition of the Transcript-Bulletin (”Cop turning tide in graffiti battle”), the department has made six arrests since last November, and those arrests are being connected to almost 20 documented graffiti cases. A conscience effort to catch taggers is being made, and getting results. The department has dedicated an officer, Brad Young, to spearhead graffiti investigations and be at the forefront of the issue. This change has allowed graffiti to become a higher priority. The parks and recreation department of Tooele City has even paid out rewards to informants with information leading to the arrest and conviction of taggers. We applaud the efforts of the Tooele City Police Department in working tirelessly on an issue that has caused blight to school property, commercial buildings, fences, park equipment, private residences and businesses. But although the department is making headway, this is a battle that is not yet won. It will be important to educate people in order to find a long-term solution, rather than a quick fix, according to Officer Young. The public can help combat the graffiti problem by being aware of what’s going on in the neighborhood. Turning on exterior lights overnight can also be helpful. Just as Officer Young said, the police can only do so much. “Sometimes you have to stand up for your neighborhood,” he said. “The more eyes we have the more we can do.” Being vigilant in keeping our eyes and ears open to what’s going on around the community will be key if we want to truly make a difference. By stopping taggings from consistently happening in our own neighborhoods, maybe we can stop a tagger from also going across town to hit someplace else. Even those of us whose neighborhoods haven’t been hit yet can take a stand and hopefully prevent the blight from taking hold of our neighborhoods even before any markings appear.

GUEST OPINION

County should look into ‘green’ ordinances

story in the March 19 issue of the Transcript-Bulletin reported on the plight of a Tooele man who spent some $32,000 to fit his home with solar panels in an effort to conserve electricity, “Solar panel pioneer upset at Tooele City.” Dennis Tracey is now facing the potential loss of that money because the Tooele City Planning Commission has approved the construction of an 85-unit apartment complex behind his house that could dramatically cut down on the amount of sunlight (and hence power) that hits his backyard during the day. In all fairness to the city, there is no legal reason for them to deny the construction permit for this apartment complex. Mr. Tracey has even acknowledged that it is probably too late for anything to be done to rectify his situation, as the laws just don’t exist at this time. However, Tooele City is in a unique position right now to make a statement about green power. The city has experienced dramatic growth over the past decade, but is not yet so big that ordinance changes that encourage the use of green energy will create economic hardship to builders, homeowners and businesses. The time is right for Tooele to be looking into ordinances that will protect future homeowners and businesses that choose to “go green.” Tooele County is continually buffeted by strong winds, as anyone who has lost siding and roof shingles can attest. Harvesting the power of these winds could help generate additional electricity for the city and the county. Solar power is abundant and renewable, and should be encouraged and protected. These are seemingly little things, but little things add up to big things. Can any of this help Mr. Tracey? Probably not, and that is unfortunate. The city and the planning commission have rules

of law that must be followed, and the laws don’t yet exist that will protect the sunlight path to Mr. Tracey’s solar panels. I do, however, have a few suggestions to make. First, Mayor Dunlavy and the City Council need to take a serious look at implementing regulations that will protect other homeowners from building obstructions that would adversely impact solar power. I’m not a legal expert, but this can’t be the first time this issue has been addressed in the United States. We need to find out how other communities are addressing it and act quickly and responsibly. Second, I would suggest that the developer of this complex find some way to compensate Mr. Tracey for his potential loss. It may be as simple as moving his panels from the awning to his roof in order to capture the sunlight. If that is the case, in the interest of good public relations and just doing the right thing, this is something the developer should do for Mr. Tracey. Tooele City and Tooele County are in a position to become a truly green community. With the number of federal grants that are now available for renewable energy and infrastructure development, we can make a tremendous impact upon our city, our county, and upon the nation as a whole. Tooele City could be the “shining star” the city Web site advertises, showing other cities across America the way to balance growth, development and environmental consciousness.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR True meaning of words In your dictionary, look up the word “idol” and see what it says. The main idea is: of anything, object of person, to be worshiped in the place of God. I suspect that the people who originated the name and the format of the TV show “American Idol” either did not know, or else didn’t care about the historical and common meaning of the word. Now look up the word “worship” and you’ll begin to get the idea. They could have named the show “American Singers” or “American Talents,” but no. The idea is to have someone to worship, to emulate, to wish (I) was like, or to wish (I) was. Further, to base my happiness and security on the idol, in place of the true God. I place the (I) in parenthesis for illustration only, because I myself refuse to worship a TV show and those in it, especially if the

A STUDENT’S VIEW

Spring signs prompt more ‘sun days’ J

ust as third term ends, as it did last Friday, the countdown to summer begins. A great restlessness develops in the school’s crowded hallways and classrooms, and an inaudible voice screams over the typical high school ruckus — “nine more weeks until summer vacation!” Of course this voice, though silent, manifests itself in the tapping of multiple tiny keypads as teenagers — particularly high school seniors — text the exact number of seconds left until freedom to everyone they have added to their cells’ digital phone book every few minutes. Last Friday was also the first official day of spring, an unofficially national holiday celebrated by many, especially teenagers. After all, we have more than warmer weather to anticipate — although the weather forecast for this week looks awfully grim with snow showers and cooler temperatures. In just nine short weeks, we will enjoy a long break from the daily routine of

excessive homework, all-knowing teachers with the power to crush dreams by awarding one too many “F”s, and drama that would make a soap opera character’s fictional hair fall out. And that’s just for those of us who aren’t graduating. Being a junior, I can only imagine how difficult it would be to contain myself if this were the last fourth term of my high school career. For these final nine weeks, as the days grow warmer and the skies bluer, teenagers like myself will be forced to sit through half-hearted lectures, book work, tests, and worst of all, homework — all of which will take twice as long to complete due to the time wasted daydreaming of all-night parties

and outings with friends. Most of which, particularly in the case of the former, will be terminated by parents before they actually begin. Our motivation is lost somewhere in all this excitement, and every year this loss of interest becomes evident as truancy increases and grades drop. Slowly, our numbers dwindle as one student after another falls ill with spring fever. Considering the contagious nature of this strange, incurable disease, gathering large numbers of infected teenagers is clearly dangerous. Thus, we teenagers ought to propose a new law to counteract the movement to forever end our beloved summer vacation and prevent the spread of this terrible disease. Our brains need the time to recuperate after months of straining to memorize math equations the majority of us will never actually use in our future careers, let alone our current positions as professional burger-flippers. We need time to catch up

with the latest and greatest video games and time to participate in our favorite recreational activities, such as dating and organizing loud social functions to occur after curfew in an unsuspecting parent’s backyard. Not to mention teens with summer jobs who lack financial obligations are bound to spend money as quickly as they make it, therefore serving as an effective, yet inexpensive, economic stimulus plan. These are all strong, practical arguments. I’ll get some buttons and signs so we can start campaigning. We, the teenagers of the United States, propose a new law: School will be officially banned on any day during fourth term when the temperature rises above 75 degree Fahrenheit. Hey, we already have snow days. Can’t we have a few sun days, too?

around behind her. “She was only wearing the lap portion,” Gutierrez said. “Taft and Bailey were not wearing seat belts.” Gutierrez believes that the use of a seat belt by White, combined with the larger size of the vehicle he was driving and the deployment of airbags,

proved to be life-savers. “We don’t know exactly what speed the vehicles were traveling without doing some further investigation,” Gutierrez said. “But I’m guessing they were both traveling 65 mph. That was a pretty severe impact. One of the worst ones I’ve seen.” Both lanes of SR-138 were

closed for three hours, while crews surveyed and cleaned up the scene. “We didn’t find any evidence of drugs of alcohol at the scene,” Gutierrez said. “Although preliminary right now, we believe Mr. White fell asleep and drifted onto oncoming traffic.” Such action could result in criminal charges, Gutierrez said, but the ongoing investigation will take six to eight weeks to finalize. “We are waiting for toxicology reports to come back on both drivers,” Gutierrez said. “That will tell us a lot and make sure there wasn’t anything in their systems. Once we get everything put together then information will be referred to the county attorney’s office for screening.”

ATV continued from page A1 sustained only minor scrapes and bruises, according to Wimmer. Police are not releasing the boy’s name at this time. Russell Steadman, part-owner of Steadman’s Recreation in Tooele, said spring means the county will be bustling with ATV action on trails and in recreational areas. He urges riders to

be cautious and adhere to common sense safety tips. “Nine times out of 10 when I hear of an ATV accident they are a result of alcohol or drug use, excessive speed, or not using proper safety gear,” Steadman said. “If people would adhere to those things they will lessen their chances of serious injury.” State law requires children to take a safety course prior to being able to legally drive an ATV, Steadman said, but oftentimes

adults who have been riding for years become lax on safety precautions. “If you’ve been riding for a long time, you sometimes think you are invincible,” Steadman said. “It’s important to know the limits of your machine and limits you have as a rider. Different machines are designed for different terrain. There is inherent risk with everything with a motor on it. Know your limits.” jamieb@tooeletranscript.com

The Red Garter had been scheduled to close at the beginning of March if a buyer had not been found. However, at the request of customers and Wendover residents, the Holder Group announced it would delay the closing for at least two more months. “We will reexamine the situation in April and make a determination about the Red Garter’s status,” Mowray said. “We do have several people looking at potentially buying the casino.” tgillie@tooeletranscript.com

Time-jumping bogs down ‘Duplicity’ F

rozen pizzas. Face cream — or lotion. Shampoo. These three items are not what one might think would be major plot points in a film about con jobs or corporate espionage. In the film, “Duplicity,” that’s otherwise too convoluted to make any sense until the back story is revealed at the end, I guess frozen pizza, face cream and shampoo cause “Duplicity” to stay a little bit grounded with real world items.

Missy Thompson Miss STAFF WRITER photo courtesy of Universal Pictures

If that confused you, I’m sorry for being too honed in on writer/ director Tony Gilroy’s mode of thinking. I bet he enjoys making audiences not understand the entirety of his films. Although, as the writer of the “Bourne” trilogy and the writer/director of “Michael Clayton” — which garnered him two Oscar nominations — he was able to make cohesive, interesting and smart films. “Duplicity” straddles the incoherent line. Thanks to a whirlwind wrap-up at the very end, audiences won’t be left feeling too disappointed. This isn’t to say that “Duplicity” isn’t a good movie — it sort of is. The performances from Clive Owen and Julia Roberts as corporate spies who attempt con jobs on their bosses are rather intriguing. Their on-screen chemistry is luke-warm, but the believability of them as professional spies hits more of a rolling boil. This allows the audience to become wrapped up in the story, so much so that it’s difficult to know who is working for whom.

Census continued from page A1 rating of No. 1. In 2007, Tooele County was ranked as the fourth fastest growing county in the state. As Tooele County grows, public safety and infrastructure continue to be concerns of the Tooele County Commission, according to commission chairwoman Colleen Johnson. “Public safety is always a big concern,” Johnson said. “I believe the county and local law enforcement have done a great job. Water and transportation are also a concern as the county continues to grow.” The need for a strong tax base is also a concern of Johnson’s. “We need commercial development to build the tax base, and it takes residential growth to bring the commercial,” she said. “It is all a circle.” Johnson said the county is looking forward to several new commercial projects in 2009, including a possible commercial park across from Miller Motorsports Park and a retail project in Stansbury Park. Also released by the U.S Census Bureau last week were components of population growth including birth, death, and migration rates. The data shows that Tooele County continues to experience a high birth rate compared to the national rate, in addition to a large number of people moving into the county. Natural population increase — number of births minus number of deaths — accounted for 42 percent of the 2008 population change in the county. While that is less than half of the population change, compared to 81 percent for Salt Lake County, Tooele’s rate of natural increase may seem low.

Ex-CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and former MI6 agent Ray Koval (Clive Owen) are spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair in “Duplicity.” At the very least “Duplicity” is entertaining enough to keep audiences sucked in. At times, the glimpses of an excellent film shine through. Maybe that was the strategy Gilroy was leaning toward: Make the film as convoluted as possible, with just enough character interest and development to keep from going off the deep end. “Duplicity” begins in Dubai in July 2003 where Ray (Owen), a former MI6 agent, meets Claire (Roberts), an ex-CIA agent, for the first time. After spending the night together, Claire drugs him and completes her assigned mission — to steal important code documents from him. During the opening credit sequence, a slow-motion fight breaks out between Richard Garsik (Paul Giamatti) and Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson), two obvious rival CEOs who, as the audience later finds out, will do anything to take the other down. Time fast-forwards five years to Grand Central Station where

Claire and Ray meet up again, this time seemingly unaware that they are now working together for the same company — Garsik’s. The drop that Claire made to Ray included a copy of a speech to be made by Tully introducing a revolutionary new product his company would be developing and Garsik wants his hands on it. The film jumps back two years to Rome where once again Ray sees Claire, and gets her back from Rome — by canceling her wakeup call, not drugging her. As two intelligent corporate spies, they begin to have a relationship and a plan to conspire against their respective bosses, steal millions and run away to Rome together. Through various time periods between 14 months previous and present day, the audience learns that Tully is working with a young genius who has developed a cure for baldness. Meanwhile, Ray believes that his and Claire’s way to millions could come by frozen pizza — until he finds out the

However, at the rate of 16.3 natural increase per 1,000 population, Tooele County exceeds the statewide average of 15.8 natural increase per 1,000. Both of these figures are well above the national average of 6.2 natural increase per 1,000 population. Mountain West Medical Center in Tooele has felt the impact of the larger than average birth rate. “We are adding three additional OBGYNs to our staff this year to accommodate the increase in births,” said Doug Sagers, spokesman for Mountain West Medical Center. “That will bring our total to five physicians and one nurse/midwife. Since opening the new medical facility in 2002 we have experienced a steady increase in births.” Migration also continues to be a contributing factor to Tooele County’s growth. While international migration remained stable in 2008, domestic migration dropped off by 251 people for a 17 percent drop.

However, in 2008 migration into the county accounted for 58 percent of the population growth. The domestic migration rate in 2008 of 1,223 people was the fourth highest domestic migration rate in the last nine years, indicating that although 2008 may have been a tough year for real estate in general, people were still moving into Tooele County. “While natural increase continues to be a string contributor to Tooele County’s growth, it is apparent that people are moving into Tooele County at a faster rate than they are in other places,” said Juliette Tennert, director of Demographic and Economic Analysis for the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget. “Tooele is following the normal Utah trend of high birth rates. Utah was the fastest growing state during this time period, so it is not surprising that many of counties have also experienced a high growth rate.” tgillie@tooeletranscript.com

competing company has already released their new double crusted product. Tully lets Claire in on this cure for baldness product, which eventually leads to a round about way of a break-up and reconciliation between Ray and Claire, the stealing of the product’s formula and the possibility of selling that formula to the Swiss for $35 million. But, of course, things never go according to plan. At the end of “Duplicity,” all of the time-jumping and confusing business and personal relationships begins to unravel. Some parts make sense and there are a few plot holes. Overall, “Duplicity” is entertaining, a little funny and kind of ironic in the sense that those who wish to steal from big corporations rarely get away with it, even though the company tends to do their own form of stealing. missy@tooeletranscript.com

Dentists are calling the schools trying to hire new graduates and offer current students positions before they even graduate!

You can expect to pay nearly $13,000 for some programs in Utah and spend 9 to 12 months of your life getting a certificate in dental assisting.

Assist to Succeed concentrates on real world dental procedures and is taught by doctors and assistants who are currently practicing dentistry. “This is a hands-on program and focuses on training dental assistants who have actual experience to give them the knowledge and confidence they need to hit the ground running with a new career.” says Dr. Landon Rockwell one of the primary directors of the program at the Tooele Rosewood Dental training location.

Originally, the plan had been for the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike presented by AMSOIL and AMA Pro SuperSport presented by Shoei series to share the bill with the HANNspree Superbike World Championship and FIM Supersport World Championship events. Unfortunately, track officials were unable to come to an agreement with AMA Pro Racing and the decision was made to cancel the AMA Pro portion of the event. “AMA Pro Racing has been a part of Miller Motorsports Park since the track opened in 2006,” said MMP Director of Racing Mitch Wright, “and we have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship and some great racing during that time. It is most unfortunate that we were unable to reach an agreement with AMA Pro for this year’s event, but it was a business decision that had to be made. We hope to be able to have the AMA Pro teams, riders and officials back at Miller Motorsports Park in the years to come.”

Audi wins again One slip up, one extra minute in the pits and the story might be different. Yet it’s a familiar story with a familiar ending — Audi debuts a new car with a victory at Sebring. The German marque posted win No. 1 for the Audi R15 TDI on Saturday as Allan McNish, Dindo Capello and Tom Kristensen beat Peugeot at the 57th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida. McNish crossed the finish line 22.279 seconds ahead of Peugeot’s Franck Montagny in an epic battle between sports car racing’s two diesel powers. The two prototypes stayed on the same lap throughout the 12 hours in a carry-over from last year’s clashes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Petit Le Mans, also razorthin Audi victories.

USU sports fees Students at Utah State University could soon pay a lot more to support the school’s athletic department. Students will vote this week whether to raise their annual athletics fees to $243, up from $113. The Utah State Board of Regents would also need to OK the increase. The proposal is intended to help pull the athletics department out of the red. It is currently operating with an annual $2.3 million deficit. Utah State Athletics Director Scott Barnes says all the school’s sports are in financial crisis because the school didn’t budget enough money for the transition to Western Athletic Conference membership four years ago. Mountain goats Colorful flowers and warmer weather aren’t the only signs spring is here — so are mountain goats at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. You can see and learn more about the goats at a free wildlife-viewing event. The event will be held Saturday, April 11. “April is one of the best months to see the goats,” said Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. “This event will be a great opportunity to come out and watch their sure-footed antics.” The event will be held at the Park-and-Ride lot at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake County. DWR biologists will be at the lot from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. To reach the canyon, travel east out of Salt Lake City on 9400 South. “We’ll have powerful spotting scopes and binoculars that will give you a front-row look at these agile rock climbers,” Walters says. “You can also pick up a poster and a card that provides information about mountain goats.” Activities for children will be held from 9 a.m. to noon. “Your kids can stamp goat tracks using ink stamps and paper that we’ll have on hand,” Walters says. “We’ll also have some goat horns and fur for you and your kids to pick up and examine.” For more information, call Walters at (801) 538-4771.

GHS notches pre-season victory over Park City 3-2 by Mark Watson SPORTS EDITOR

There are only three seniors out of 20 players on the Grantsville High School tennis team and the squad is looking to make continual progress through a tough pre-season schedule as it works toward region matches which start on April 14, according to coach Pat Ciervo. “The next two weeks are going to be tough-going up against great teams like Judge, Hillcrest, Lehi, Box Elder and Spanish Fork. I told the kids we might take our lumps, but the main thing, win or lose, is that we continue to improve as we get ready for our region matches,” Ciervo said. The coach was extremely pleased with results from last week which included a hard-fought 3-2 victory over a strong Park City team on Wednesday and an easier 41 victory over Wasatch in Heber City. “I was very happy with the way our two doubles teams played against Park City. Each team lost the opening set, but they were willing to play through it and find a way to come back and win. That’s what you like to see as a coach,” Ciervo said. Grantsville picked up a win at first singles with Brett Peterson downing Kasra

Dugway High School has not hosted a track meet in six years, but will host three track meets this year thanks to a refurbished track paid for by the U.S. Army. The first of the trio of meets was held on Thursday with Tooele, Grantsville, Dugway and Wendover high schools participating. Dugway High School track coach Dave McClesky said that 225 students from the four Tooele County high schools participated in the meet. “It has been 10 years since this track has been in good repair and we are so glad to have it for this meet,” said Dugway High School principal Robin Nielson prior to a ribbon-cutting ceremony organized by Dugway Proving Ground and the high school. Col. Robert E. Jones, Jr., commander of Dugway Proving Ground, told the audience at the ceremony that plans to upgrade the track all started with a conversation about a need to provide a quality running surface for soldiers and, more importantly, students. “This track is the result of Garrison efforts led by Tony Cox, Garrison manager. I hope you understand that sometimes just starting a conversation can help to get things done. You students

DHS TRACK need to take care of the area and we need your feedback to continue to make this a great facility,” Jones said. After the short speeches, Jones, students chosen by their coaches, and Dugway soldiers carrying the Dugway flag ran the first lap around the track. Student runners included James Dettle, Marlene Fahnestock, Dugway; Ben Graff, Rachel Topham, Grantsville; Morgan Palmer, Jacob Lambert, Tooele; and Cody Marcu, Wendover. After circling the track, Jones broke through the ribbon and the other soldiers and athletes followed as students cheered. Tooele County School District representative Daniel Johnson, director of secondary education, also attended the ceremony. “Honestly this is the best track in the district; an eight-lane track of this quality is great. I am excited for Dugway High School and I can tell the students are proud,” he said. “I am thankful we have leaders such as Col. Jones and others.

Cowboys play up to prepare for region by Jake Gordon STAFF WRITER

With the number of quality opponents on Grantsville’s preseason baseball schedule no one could blame the Cowboys for dropping a couple of games, and this last weekend was no different.

GHS BASEBALL With a pair of 5A teams (Hunter and Davis) and a talented 4A team (Woods Cross) on the docket, Grantsville had their hands full. They did however, hold early leads against Hunter on Thursday and Friday against Woods Cross. Even with the early leads, Grantsville lost all three games to their higher classification opponents but coach Loren Anderson knows playing talented teams will benefit his squad when playoffs come around. “When we get to playoffs we want to know that we have seen teams of that caliber and that we can play with them,” Anderson said. Hunter 9 — Grantsville 2 After falling behind 1-0 after the first inning the Cowboys battled back in the third. Grantsville scored two in the top half on the third Thursday afternoon to take the 2-1 lead but unfortunately that is all the scoring Hunter allowed. The Wolverines also tacked on eight additional runs to earn the 9-2 win in West Valley City. The Cowboys only earned six hits in the game but two of those came off the bat of Ryley Boman as he went 2-for-3 with a single and a RBI double to lead GHS. Hunter was led by Erik Christenson, who went 2for-2 hitting out of the eighth spot with a pair of singles and a pair of walks in the Wolverine victory. Hunter started off the scoring in the bottom of the first when Brandon Hightower got things going with a two-out walk. After the walk Jordan Anderson smacked a triple deep to center scoring Hightower for the 1-0 advantage. Grantsville fought right back in the third with Lincoln Kelley earning a one-out single. With Kelley on first, Boman hit the right-center field gap perfectly with a double that brought Kelley around to score from first to tie the game. Tyson Hutchins came up next with Boman in scoring position and nailed a shot down the third base line to give Grantsville a slim 2-1 lead. The Cowboy lead didn’t last past the third inning. Hightower struck again for Hunter, driving a single to right field scoring Anthony Rojas to tie the game then Anderson followed the Hightower single with a sacrifice fly to center field to recapture the lead at 3-2. After the third inning the Cowboys were unable to move another run across home plate but it wasn’t for lack of base runners. In the fourth, Grantsville got two base runners on but due to base running blunders

Grantsville High School infielder Ryley Boman flips the ball toward second base against Tooele on March 17. Boman is one of the top hitters for the Cowboys baseball team. the rally was terminated. Hunter’s bottom of the fifth essentially closed the door to any Cowboy rally. Hunter scored six runs in the inning on four hits, a walk and three errors, which included a crushing tworun double by J.D. Hardman to left-center which was the big Hunter hit in the inning. The inning gave Hunter a 9-2 lead after five. “When adversity happens you can go one or two ways,” Anderson said. “You can either point fingers at others or you can buckle down and figure out what needs to be done to get out of the inning.” Grantsville was only able to earn one base runners on a double by Payeton Reed in the seventh but was unable to move Reed around to score. Woods Cross 13 — Grantsville 3 Timely hitting and patience at the plate helped the Cowboys earn an early 3-0 lead against the powerful Woods Cross team. However, the Wildcats took care of business on their home field and didn’t allow Grantsville another run and ended the game early with a 133 victory in five innings Friday afternoon. Kort Fonger had a near perfect day at the plate for the Cowboys going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles and a walk. Unfortunately for Grantsville, Nate Chambers for Woods Cross had a field day with a bat in his hands. Chambers batted 4-for-4 with two singles, a double and a triple, along with driving in four runs in the Wildcat victory. From the looks of the first inning it appeared that Grantsville came prepared to win. As Woods Cross starting pitcher Austin Bankowski struggled with his control, the first

��

two Grantsville hitters reached base on walks. With a runner in scoring position, Alex Childs smacked a single back up the middle to score Boman from third. The scoring continued for the Cowboys in the top half with Reed grounding out to the right side to score Hutchins then Childs came around to score on a wild pitch, giving GHS a 30 lead before Woods Cross even touched a bat. Scoring a single run in the bottom of the second on a Aaron Markisich RBI single was just the prelude to a gigantic Woods Cross third inning. With Grantsville leading 3-1, Woods Cross rattled off four consecutive base hits in the bottom of the third. Mason Fenn’s triple was the biggest hit for the Wildcats as it not only brought in two runs but tied the game at 3-3. The momentum switched drastically as Woods Cross scored six runs in the inning on seven hits and a walk giving WCHS a 7-3 advantage after three. Again Grantsville earned their base runners but were unable to move the runners in to score. The Cowboys left four runners on base in the third and fifth innings combined. While Grantsville was leaving runners on base, Woods Cross was continuing their scoring onslaught. After scoring two in the fourth and holding Grantsville scoreless in the top of the fifth, the Wildcats looked to end the game early. Chambers struck again for Woods Cross as his two-out triple knocked in two runs to make the score 12-3. Then the next Wildcat hitter took advantage of a Grantsville throwing error. The error allowed Chambers to score from third for the 10-run mercy rule to take effect in the fifth inning, with the score ending at 13-3. Davis 5 — Grantsville 0 During a blustery Saturday afternoon in Grantsville both teams knew that scoring runs would be hard to come by. With the Cowboys only earning three hits in the entire game during the rough conditions, Davis took advantage of their few opportunities and shut out the Cowboys 5-0. Kelley and Hutchins were both able to knock a double each for Grantsville to compile

two of the three Cowboy hits. Kendall Perkins had a big day at the plate and the mound with two singles from the plate and also pitched the games first four innings and earning three strikeouts. Scoring was at a premium with a stiff wind blowing in any given direction. Davis finally got the first run across home plate in the third. The Darts loaded the bases, with a pair of singles and a walk, for Carson Garrett. Garrett got the job done by grounding out to the right side of the infield, scoring Colton Mouritsen for the 1-0 lead. Grantsville starting pitcher Alex Childs was able to get out of the jam by striking out the following batter. Childs pitched admirably considering the conditions, going six innings and only allowing seven hits. The run support never came for Childs however, as Grantsville had runners in scoring position in five of the seven innings but failed to get a run across. After adding a single run in the top of the fifth, Davis earned some much needed insurance runs in the sixth. Jared Taylor started off the scoring for Davis in the sixth with a bloop single just past the first base line scoring Jayce Day from third. Chris Larrabee followed with an RBI single through the left side of the infield for a 4-0 advantage. Davis added a fifth run on a throwing error on a double play ball that allowed Taylor to score to give the Darts a 5-0 lead. Grantsville didn’t go down without a fight as they got two runners on in the sixth by way of walks but couldn’t move the runners over. In the seventh, Kelley doubled then was followed by two walks to load the bases with two outs. However, Grantsville left the bases loaded as visiting Davis was able to get out without any Cowboy runs scored. “Offensively we have got to find the guys that can drive runs in,” Anderson said. “We are leaving too many men in scoring position.”

Tooele belts 13 hits in win over Payson SPORTS EDITOR

THS SOFTBALL

Tooele’s Mattie Snow is such a dominating pitcher that when a team can pound out seven hits and score five runs it is a bit perplexing to the coaches. And that’s what the Payson Lions did on Thursday against the Buffs at Deseret Peak Complex. “The game was a little strange,

Payson hit the ball harder against us than any team this year,” said Tooele coach Steve Snow. The good thing for Tooele was that they doubled up the Lions in hit production and nearly tripled their opponents’ run production to win the game 13-5. Tooele tallied 13 hits including five extra-

base hits. Payson opened the game with two runs in the first inning and Tooele came back with four runs in its half of the inning. The Lions cut Tooele’s lead to 4-3 after their half of the second inning, but Tooele scored half a dozen runs in the second to blow the game open at 10-3 after two complete innings.

said. “I dealt with a lot of difficult things as a chaplain in the military and wanted to get back where I could work with young kids who are just starting out and help them build a solid foundation.” Harris interviewed for the Tooele High School head basketball coaching position two years ago when Ray Brazier was hired. “Even though I didn’t get the job, coach Brazier called me and asked me if I wanted to come up and coach the junior varsity and it has been a great two years working with him. He’s a good coach and has a good rapport with the players,” Harris said. “I came up here actually looking to eventually find a head coaching position somewhere and moved to Stansbury Park. I didn’t know I would end up coaching at Stansbury Park.” The new SHS coach gained some notoriety as a basketball

coach at tiny West Desert High School back in 1999-2002. He led the team to its first region title in school history and won 19 consecutive region games over a two-year period. During his stint his team even had a three-game winning streak over perennial region champion Dugway. “As far as coaching philosophy I follow the advice of Bobby Knight who said that ‘players win games, not schemes.’ John Wooden was the same way, his major priority was to develop players,” Harris said. “Some middle school teams have great schemes, but the only problem is the players really haven’t learned how to shoot, pass and dribble. Wooden’s goal was to spend at least 50 percent of practice time on individual skill development.” Harris said that the players at Tooele High School worked tremendously hard this season and that all the Region 7

cross country season. “When we got back from state basketball the kids were chomping at the bit to get out on the new track but it was inclement weather so we worked out inside. On Monday of last week was the first time the kids were able to use the new track and they were so excited. All we need now is a high jump pad,” the coach said. Tooele scored 267 points in boys competition followed by Grantsville with 116, Dugway 52 and Wendover 21. Tooele scored 204 points in girls competition followed by Grantsville with 149, Dugway 46 and Wendover 24. Individual results from the meet will be published in Thursday’s edition of the Transcript-Bulletin.

coaches would comment on how hard the players worked and how hard they played defense. “That’s the way it will have to be at Stansbury,” he said. He said he wants his players to play hard, be fully committed to playing defense, be fundamentally sound, be unselfish and be in great physical condition. Unlike Stansbury High football, Harris said he would like to play against Grantsville High School in basketball each season. The first scheduled game for the Stallions is against Grantsville on Nov. 25 this year with the location to be determined later. Harris has scheduled a player-parent meeting for Monday, April 13 at 6 p.m. for anyone interested in playing basketball at Stansbury High School at Clark N. Johnsen Junior High in Tooele. mwatson@tooeletranscript.com

Expanding Imaginations story by Abby Palmer

photography / Maegan Burr

Children’s book author Justin Cole sits in his Erda home Saturday morning with a copy of his book “Wet, Bird-Feather Bread.”

Erda resident writes his first children’s picture book ur world today has our imaginations bound by video games. Books are a place where kids’ imaginations can be expanded,” said Erda resident Justin Cole. These words are part of the reason Cole became an author and started writing children’s books. His first book, “Wet, Bird-Feather Bread,” was published in November 2008. “Wet, Bird-Feather Bread” is about a young witch, Wanda McFee, who likes to make up spells without following

instructions. Cole’s inspiration for “Wet, BirdFeather Bread” came about 10 years ago when he was driving home from work in Midvale. He jokes that the book was born at a stoplight. “I was driving home when the first couple of verses came to me,” Cole said. “I was stopped at a stoplight and grabbed

my daytimer and wrote down the first few lines. Then I started building on those lines.” He explained there were many times the book would just write itself. “Sometimes I would sit at the computer and stare at the screen all day, never writing a single word,” he said. “But other days I would sit down and write a lot of stanzas. It was these days that helped the story progress, completing itself.” Cole said writing a picture book is a challenge because he was limited to the number of pages and words he could use. He said a picture book is 32 pages total, which includes the cover page.

Cole said while writing “Wet, BirdFeather Bread” he was extremely careful in writing the spells. “I wanted to make sure there was nothing children would find frightening,” he said. “Sometimes it’s easy enough to put something in that would scare a child. However, I wanted children to be able to read it without being scared.” Toward the end of the book, McFee casts a spell that is not correct. She looks in her spell book and finds a spell that will reverse what she has done. The spell is one word: “Undo.” “‘Undo’ is such a large part of the world today,” Cole explains. “When working SEE EXPANDING PAGE B8 ➤

Use food safety techniques when microwave-cooking T

he microwave oven is one of the most important, versatile, and usually safe cooking inventions of the last century. They don’t heat up the kitchen and they are simple enough to use that even young children can use the controls. Even with their safety features, however, you still must follow food safety techniques. The first requirement is to use an appropriate container and covering for your food. Be sure the container is safe

for use in a microwave. Plastic and glassware items that are recommended for use in a microwave are safe to use. Generally they will be marked microwave safe. Some older kinds of glass are not safe. Plastic wrap and waxed

paper are often recommended to cover foods while heating and cooking. The question of which is a better choice depends on the size of the container you are using. If it will touch the food, waxed paper is the best choice. Otherwise, the cooking vessel should be large enough that the plastic doesn’t touch the food. Do not use plastic wrap if it will touch the food while cooking. Cooking bags can be used very safely in microwaves and

can touch the food because they are nylon rather than plastic. Some utensils without the microwave safe seal are still safe for use. Among these are paper plates, towels and napkins. Baskets for heating rolls should be lined with a napkin or paper towels. Microwaving is safe using waxed paper, parchment paper or very heavy plastic. Styrofoam cups and brown paper bags made of recycled paper are not safe

in the microwave. Neither is designed for heating in these appliances. Although heavy plastic containers may be useful for heating in these ovens, containers designed for one time storage of butter, yogurt, cottage cheese and such products are not suitable. Never use metal in a microwave. This includes metal pots or china with a metal rim. Only use metal products that are approved in your manufacturer’s instruction manual.

Some manufacturers allow small amounts of foil to be placed to protect delicate or quick-cooking areas of various products such as the tips of the drumsticks on a chicken. In general, if allowed, only very small amounts of foil should be used. The foil should never cover more than one-fourth of the food surface. Always place foil at least an inch away from the sides and top of the oven to avoid arcSEE SAFETY PAGE B8 ➤
