Vernal man killed in fall from North Dakota rig By Lacey McMurry Uintah Basin Standard
STEVE PURO, Uintah Basin Standard
Roosevelt firefighters work to extinguish the mobile home fire at the Justine Fillingim residence at trailer 61 in the Deer Run Estates, Roosevelt.
Home destroyed in Friday fire By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard An early morning fire at the residence of Justine Fillingim consumed a mobile home and forced the evacuation of neighboring mobile homes in the Deer Run Estates.
According to Roosevelt Patrol officer Tracy Bird the residence address was 145 S. 500 East, trailer No. 61. “I know they got her and her child out of there,’ Bird said. Deer Run Estates manager Melissa Foster was on hand as the fire developed.
“She did have family in there with her,” Foster said. “I only spoke with her briefly, but she assured me that everyone has gotten out all right.” The Roosevelt Fire Department was able to contain the fire to the Fillingim residence as Foster worked to protect other
residents. “I’ve been kind of busy trying to make sure other people were out of their trailers, just in case,” Foster said. According to Foster, Fillingim said she woke up to smoke. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
A Vernal man was killed in an oil field accident in North Dakota over the weekend. Jason McDonald, 22, was working near the top of a derrick at Frontier Drilling Rig No. 19 in Mountrail County around 11 p.m. Saturday when he fell approximately 80 feet to the rig floor below, according to a press release from the Mountrail County Sheriff’s Department. An ambulance was immediately dispatched to the scene and McDonald was taken to McDonald the Mountrail County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Details about the accident — including the cause of the fall — were not immediately available. The North Dakota Forensic Medical Examiner’s office has scheduled an autopsy. Bismarck Area Occupational Safety and Health Administration acting supervisor Scott Overson confirmed the accident is under investigation by the agency. As of press time, two OSHA compliance officers were en route to the accident site to survey the scene. “At this point, that’s all the information I can release,” Overson said. McDonald was just one of many Uintah Basin crew members working on rigs in North Dakota. The recent upswing in drilling activity there has necessitated the recruitment of crews and service providers from all SEE ACCIDENT on A-2
Duchesne County to form coalition to combat domestic violence By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard Nearly 30 civic and human services leaders met together last week to begin the process of forming a Domestic Violence Coalition specifically for Duchesne County. Duchesne County will become the 23rd of 29 counties in the state to adopt its own coalition. “We’re trying to start a whole new domestic violence coalition combined of community members, people who care, and people who work with domestic violence in Duchesne County,” Victim Advocate Program Coordinator Marcie Tucker said. Tucker has reached out across the county to bring together civic and community leaders.
“I attended city meetings and invited the mayors to come,” Tucker said. “We are also reaching out to the medical center, local clergy and the Chamber of Commerce.” Tucker’s office also utilizes volunteers to help with outreach and awareness programs. “If we could work together as a community to change it, that’s the only way it will ever happen,” she said. While Duchesne County rates of domestic violence are not considered excessive, the county has approximately the same rates of incidence of larger counties when measured per capita. “People need to understand that we do have domestic violence. We do have sexual assaults. We have child abuse. We have crime here,”
Tucker said. She has worked in awareness programs and sees the only hope for real progress is to be proactive and find new approaches to the problems. “I might be an idealist. It might be a lofty goal, but my goal is going to be to stop domestic violence,” Tucker said. “We have to think of new different ways. Statistically what we’re doing isn’t really working. It needs to be more than just awareness training.” The next Duchesne County Domestic Violence Coalition meeting is set for noon March 27 in the UBAOG building in Roosevelt. “We want to break down barriers. We want to go places we’ve never gone before,” Tucker said. “I SEE VIOLENCE on A-2
STEVE PURO, Uintah Basin Standard
Civic, law enforcement, human services and public agencies came together last week to begin the process of forming a new Duchesne County Domestic Violence Coalition. Duchesne has worked with Uintah County in the past, but Duchesne County’s problems are “unique” according to coordinator Marcie Tucker, and need their own voice.
Roosevelt Police put quick end to vandalism spree By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard
The south side of the restroom at the Roosevelt City old park was one of the targets of vandals on Feb. 23. Money spent in repairing the public buildings takes money away from other worthwhile expenditures for the city, such as recreation, sports programs, and city improvements. Citizens are invited to contact the police to report suspicious acitivity.

Quick work by the Roosevelt Police department brought an end to a recent rash of vandalism to public and private property in Roosevelt. Vandals repeatedly spray painted the brick walls of the city’s swimming pool building and park restrooms. They also tagged a local business and spread human feces on a private residence. According to Roosevelt City Police Detective Pete Butcher, the tagging began in the late hours of Feb. 22, going into the early hours of Feb. 23. “There was vandalism and criminal mischief at the old park,” Butcher said. Some of the multi-tone tagging done with stolen paint expressed remorse at the recent suicide of a Ft. Duchesne resident. “Other tagging was more derogatory,” Butcher said. “That same night, Larsen Dental was spray-painted.” “This vandalism was particularly troubling to me, because it was spray paint on very porous walls,” Roosevelt City Mayor
Basin leads state in tobacco use By Lacey McMurry Uintah Basin Standard For just over four decades, Tom Somerville was never far from a cigarette. The Vernal man started smoking when he turned 18. By the time he turned 59, the consequences of all those years of lighting up were clearly evident. “It was getting to the point where it was rough for me to hunt and hike and do the things I loved,” he said. “I knew I had to either quit or start walking around with an oxygen tank.” Even though his desire to quit was strong, Somerville’s lifestyle left odds that were stacked against him. By day, he was employed in the construction industry. By night, his job as a musician meant he spent countless hours in smoke-filled bars. Somerville managed to quit smoking once only to fall off the

Vaun Ryan said. “We didn’t know if we would even be able to get it off in an acceptable manner.” The nature of the vandalism on the city buildings increased the cost of repairs. “You can’t just use the standard materials on the porous block,” Roosevelt City Manager Justin Johnson said. “The graffiti removal chemicals are $1000 dollars per case and we didn’t even know if it would work.” Preliminary cost estimates for initial repairs hover around $1600 dollars according to Johnson. “Then, Thursday night, the suspects returned and did the same act again,” Butcher said. In a related incident, juveniles took a soiled diaper and smeared human feces on a nearby house, according to Butcher. After collecting evidence at the crime scene, Roosevelt Police were led to a group of 6 individuals. Five of the suspects are juvenile, ranging 12 to 17 years of age. The sixth has not been apprehended yet.

wagon a short time later. Then, almost a year ago exactly, he said he realized he couldn’t delay any longer. “I knew smoking was interfering with everything I wanted to do,” he said. “I had to dedicate myself to quitting and not look back.” Somerville isn’t the only Uintah Basin resident who has fought the battle against cigarettes. For years, the Basin has consistently been near the top of the state’s list of high tobacco usage areas. According to data from a recent report compiled by the Utah Department of Health, 20.3 percent of adults living in Daggett, Duchesne or Uintah counties reported that they were current cigarette smokers. That percentage is the highest of any of the state’s 12 health districts and more than double the state average usage rate of 9.1 percent. The Uintah Basin also has the highest chewing tobacco and Snus usage rate, with 5.6 percent of all adults reporting regular use. Bleak numbers like those highlighted in the state’s recent report have prompted TriCounty Health Department officials to wage a full-on war against tobacco use in the area. “We’re loading the arsenal of tools we can draw from,” said Jeramie Tubbs, Public Information Officer for the TriCounty Health Department. “This year we’ll be focused on putting together new campaigns to help bring the rates of tobacco use down throughout our health district.” Tubbs said one key resource that the health promotion division is working on is to publicize the state’s free and confidential Tobacco Quit Line, 1-800-QUIT-NOW. “Many people know the quit line exists,” Tubbs said, “but may not be aware of all the resources it offers.” Utah residents who utilize the quit line can receive up to five, one-hour phone sessions with a quit counselor at no charge, free information kits, and in many cases, free nicotine replacement therapy products such as gum, patches, or lozenges to help them overcome nicotine addiction. David Neville, spokesman for the state’s Tobacco Prevention and Control Program, said quit coaches are college graduates with additional training in motivational interviewing, and many of the coaches are former smokers who understand how tough quitting tobacco can be. “They are literally sitting there waiting for smokers to call,” he added. “They can customize quit plans and

give real-world advice to help people re-learn life without cigarettes.” Thanks in part to a new ad campaign, Neville said that the number of Utahns utilizing the Quit Line and finding success is soaring. This January, nearly 1,100 Utah residents called in for help quitting. That number represents a 70 percent increase over the average number of enrollments in the month of January for the previous three years. Of the 1,100 people who called in for Quit Line help in January, only six were from Duchesne County and seven from Uintah County. And while those numbers look small, Tubbs said they represent an increase in the typical number of local people seeking help from that resource. “We find that the majority of people actually try to quit on their own, cold turkey,” she said. “But the statistics show people who utilize the Quit Line, quit coaches and the nicotine replacement therapy products which are provided will find their chances of quitting are greatly enhanced.” In addition to targeting the high percentage of local residents who regularly light up by publicizing the Quit Line, TriCounty Health officials have several other campaigns planned for 2012. Health educator for TriCounty Health Department Christal Dent said department employees will try to maintain a presence at industrial job fairs in the area in the coming year, including one scheduled in the next couple of weeks. TCHD will offer free oral cancer screenings and Quit Spit Kits, which contain resources that help tobacco users kick the habit for good. “One of our new goals for this year is to work closely with the construction and energy industry,” Dent said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the highest prevalence of smoking among working adults in the past decade has been observed among workers in the mining and construction industries. Health department officials will also be targeting local government officials and multiunit apartment complex owners and encouraging them to adopt tobacco-free policies for their facilities. In the Uintah Basin, there are few parks and apartment complexes that are currently tobacco-free, Dent said. Right now, Altamont city council members are mulling a proposal to enforce the park there as a smoke-free zone, and Daggett County officials are expected to pass an ordinance designating all county buildings and facilities as smoke-free locations as well. For the first time ever, TriCounty has also partnered with the Daggett County School District and the Uintah County School District to help implement policy changes and organize peer groups aimed at spreading the tobacco-free message. Duchesne County School District is currently awaiting approval from the Tobacco Prevention and Control department to implement a similar partnership. Vernal resident Andrea Stringham was recently hired to fill the liaison position between the health department and local schools. “We’ve formed a committee with employees from the schools and law enforcement officials and we’re collaborating and deciding what’s going to work best to help children stay away from tobacco,” Stringham said.

Hey, what’s the hurry? (On US 40 at least) By Dustin Hughes, Uintah Basin Standard I’m not a perfect driver. No glasshouse-living-brick-throwing by me. I’ve had a couple of fender benders in my driving career, and a handful of tickets. So I’m not one to lecture anybody when it comes to working a motor vehicle. Except for when it comes to tailgating on Highway 40. Roosevelt and Vernal don’t have rail service, so that highway acts as a de facto rail line for passengers, workers and big equipment. That means it’s usually pretty busy, full of vehicles ranging from big rigs to pickups, all going places very fast. The speed limit on Highway 40 isn’t bad – 60 to 65 mph in most places. That should certainly be enough to satisfy the inner speed demon. Yet try driving at any speed less than 5 miles or more over the speed limit. In no time at all, you’re going to have someone barreling up behind you, barely waiting to pass (whether or not it’s in a no-passing zone seems to be irrelevant). Merely traveling at or slightly above the speed limit is inviting the wrath of your fellow drivers upon you. I’ve felt the glare of inconvenienced drivers on Highway 40 more in the two months I’ve been here than my entire driving life back in Oklahoma. So far though, I’ve seen no middle fingers, so my hat’s off to my fellow drivers for that. I’ve driven across much of the country, from Philadelphia to the deep South
to Utah. While Utah is not alone in having its share of tailgaters and speedy or otherwise aggressive drivers, but from my experience, it’s among the worst places to try and drive at a leisurely pace when there’s other cars on the road. At least there are fewer middle fingers. Here’s my question: Where are all the other drivers off to in such a hurry? I understand people have to be at a job site or the store at a certain time, but is that worth the risk? All too often in this paper, and newspapers across the country, highway fatalities are reported where the overriding factor is speed. That’s all the more true when it’s snowy, icy or it rains. If every driver simply did the speed limit — not a radical proposition — it would be worth it if only one life was saved. Who knows, that life you save may be your own. More than the civic duty, there’s the chance to just slow down and enjoy life a little bit. The more you rush, the more you feel rushed. Just doing the speed limit, listening to a little tunes on the radio and enjoying a nice Utah day can be a relaxing experience — at least when there’s not a semi feet from your rear bumper. Try it, it’s fun. And if you see me toodling along at the speed limit, pass me if you must. Just give me a friendly wave. Use as many fingers as you wish.
Thinking Out Loud By Cheryl Mecham Last week I found myself doing a good deed, which is always a little scary because I’ve learned that no good deed goes unpunished. My mother use to say that, and I’ve found her statement to be absolutely correct. So, then why do I keep doing good deeds? I wondered while I collected my neighbor’s mail. OK, she wasn’t feeling well and she’d told me she was waiting for a package, or at least one of those little orange post cards that lets you know your package is waiting for you at the post office. Just as soon as I pulled the collection of newspapers, magazines, envelopes and post cards from the long rural mailbox – a glossy fast food coupon book was ripped from the stack by the stiff wind – the Basin’s way of announcing spring had sprung. “Aghhhh!” I growled and jumped to chase it down. I bent and went to grab the thing from a small tuft of grass when another sharp blast of wind caught it and sent it skittering down the road. I sighed in dismay then sprinted after the thing, which scampered and bounced and bobbed over the asphalt like a kite on a sting, except there was no
string. This was stupid, I knew it. A desperate race after a piece of paper that would probably end up in a trash bin anyway. My brain told me keep chasing. First of all the coupon book was not mine. It had my neighbor’s name and address on it. Gasping for air my feet pounded the pavement chasing that paper like a chicken with its head cut off. Secondly, no matter how far it blew I wasn’t going to give up. I hate roadside and curbside garbage, gulch garbage, parking lot garbage, field garbage and caught-on-the-fencegarbage and the all-offensive front and back yard garbage. I’ve been known to run after a gum wrapper – and this coupon flyer was much bigger than a gum wrapper. The chase was heating up. I was so close – suddenly my body felt like an old car with lose parts on a rough broad. “Ohhhh ... my ... heck ...!” I spit through gritted teeth, but then my foot slapped the top of the paper and I abruptly stopped. “Ah hah!” I cried triumphantly to the cows in a nearby field who’d raised their heads to watch the spectacle. I snatched up the paper and held it up for the bovines to behold. “See that!” I hollered. “Ugh

hugh ... that’s a good deed ...” I had turned back now, voice lowered. I still believed in doing good. Even after this wild foot chase. The wind caught me in the face, I briefly shut my eyes. But I had seen. I felt like cursing, and crying and stomping and screaming. There they came, white envelopes blowing toward me. They must have escaped from the fold of newspaper pressed between my side and body during the helter-skelter jog-a-thon. I began again. I had to. The heavy-bellied cows thought it was great – entertainment from the road side while they chewed their cud and waited for their wobbly kneed babies to be born. Head down into the wind I reached for the loose pieces. They were heavier and jumped end-over-end to come to rest between wind gusts, much easier than the fairy-wingedfast-food-flyer. My car stood waiting by the mailboxes. Once inside I sighed. A great disgusted, but satisfied sigh. I leaned my head back against the seat and closed my eyes. I thought of that wild chase down the road. My talk with the cows, and the path of envelopes scattered along the asphalt. I was told that God always knows what we’re up to. If that’s true, and I believe it is – I guessed he had, had a good laugh. This thought had me grinning, and then chuckling. I started the car and drove toward my neighbor’s. I knew there would be a payoff inside, a warm smile as I handed her that nefarious stack of mail. That’s why I haven’t given up doing good deeds, even when good deeds go bad.

During the 2011 fire season, the Ashley National Forest experienced a total of 15 fires burning a total of 700.1 acres. Of these fires, 13 were lightning caused and two were human caused. Of the 700.1 acres, 0.2 burned as a result of human caused ignitions, with the remaining coming from lightning ignitions.
Keeping House By State Rep. Kraig Powell This is the final week of the Utah Legislature’s annual general session. The Utah Constitution requires that all legislative activity end at midnight on Thursday night. Several hundred bills will be passed by the House and Senate in these last few days of the session. The state’s budget for the fiscal year that begins in July will also be set. Next week I will write a round-up of significant measures enacted by this year’s legislature. In this week’s column, I would like to focus on what I consider to be the most important bill I am sponsoring this year, in terms of its impact upon the entire state of Utah. My House Bill 90 will prohibit cities, counties, local school boards, special districts and all state agencies from holding any meetings at the same time as the major political parties’ neighborhood caucus meetings. The neighborhood caucus meetings are held once every two years. At the neighborhood caucus meetings, citizens elect the delegates who will attend the party conventions. Then, at the party conventions, the delegates vote to choose who will be the party’s nominees for offices such as U.S. senator, U.S. representative, governor, state senator, state representative, state attorney general, and numerous county offices. At the party conventions, delegates are also elected to attend the national party conventions, where the parties’ nominees for U.S. president are selected. Because these crucial decisions all begin with the selection of delegates at the neighborhood caucus meetings, I believe that the day these caucus meetings are held is Utah’s real election day. The delegates who are selected at the neighborhood caucus meetings wield enormous
influence, and, in most cases, singlehandedly choose who our public officials will be. This is because, at the November general election, most offices in Utah are safely and easily won by either a Republican or a Democrat (depending on the region of the state) by large margins. So the party’s nominee chosen by the delegates at the convention in April is virtually assured of victory in November. The parties’ neighborhood caucus meetings for the current Utah election cycle will be held next week. The Democratic party will hold its neighborhood meetings on Tuesday, March 13 at 7 p.m., and the Republican and Constitution parties will hold theirs on Thursday, March 15 at 7 p.m. Because these caucus meetings are held on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis, there are literally thousands of them being held all across the state at the same time on the same night once every two years. Citizens can find the location of the neighborhood caucus meeting for their area by going to the web sites of any of the Utah political parties. I believe it is the civic duty of every Utah citizen, whether Democrat, Republican, unaffiliated or other, to attend the neighborhood caucus meeting. I am sponsoring House Bill 90 because once every two years, when the neighborhood party caucus meetings are held, there are always meetings for that night scheduled by cities, counties, school boards, and other public bodies. Most of these agencies do not intentionally schedule their meetings to conflict with their neighborhood caucuses. Rather, they just do not recognize the scheduling conflict until it is too late to change. My bill will require the lieutenant governor to announce the dates and times of the statewide caucuses 90 days in
advance. This will give the local agencies ample time to put the dates on their calendars and avoid scheduling meetings for those nights. The bill has passed the House, but is being held up in the Senate by a few senators who are opposed to the bill. Critics of the bill complain that the state legislature should not be dictating this policy to local entities. My response is that no local entity can have a valid reason to be meeting when a statewide caucus is being held (except for an emergency meeting, which the bill allows). Another objection being raised against the bill is that it improperly mixes the policies of private political parties with the policies of public entities such as cities and school boards. My response to this objection is that Utah law in dozens of instances already incorporates the purposes and practices of private political parties into state law, such as the primary election process (which is a private function paid for with taxpayer dollars). I am hopeful that enough senators will be convinced this week and agree to pass my bill, which the governor has said he supports. And whether or not the bill passes, I hope that all Utah citizens and officials, whether Democrat, Republican, unaffiliated or other, will cancel all meetings next week on March 13 and March 15 and participate in what I believe is Utah’s real election day. As always, you may contact me by email at kraigpowell@ le.utah.gov or by phone at 435657-0185.

Local gas prices continue upward trend to $3.41 Average retail gasoline prices in Utah have risen 18.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.41 per gallon Sunday, March 4. This compares with the national average that has increased 5.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.71 per gallon, according to gasoline price website UtahGasPrices.com. Including the change in gas prices in Utah during the past week, prices Sunday were 10.5 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 34.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 27.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 24.1 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
“Gasoline prices have spiked considerably higher in virtually every area over the last two weeks, and while I don’t expect the pace of the recent rise in prices to continue for the entire month, a similar jump may again occur closer to April Fools Day, and it won’t be a funny joke, it’ll be disgusting reality,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “The rise in price is so unbelievable that we may have to revise upward our previous gasoline forecast that had called for a national average of between $3.75 to $4.15 by midMay, as the national average already stands at nearly $3.72/ gallon,” DeHaan said.

Crews used a pole truck and cables to begin removing the smashed cab and derrick of the wrecked workover rig on US 191. The highway was closed for nearly four hours during the accident.
Oil field rig rolls in Indian Canyon By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard Traffic on state Road 191 through Indian Canyon was blocked in both directions for nearly four hours on Friday after the driver of an oil field workover rig lost control of the vehicle and then leaped from the rig, causing it to crash and then tip on its side, according to Utah Highway Patrol Trooper

The vehicle then continued, unguided down the steep canyon road, he said. Johnson had some scrapes and bruises but denied medical treatment from ambulance
crews. The wreckage will be taken off the mountain and a safety inspection will be performed to evaluate what caused the rig to go out of control, Oman said. The accident remains under investigation. Utah Highway Patrol from the Price area responded to the accident, since it was on the south side of the summit.

oil, gas, and hydro carbons held as real property by Duchesne County. Ordinance 12-297 clarifies the application dates for requesting leases of Duchesne County property holdings. Language changed includes clarification that the county will hold quarterly lease auctions to consider any submitted interests. Those quarterly auctions will be held during the first commission meeting in each month that starts a new quarter, specifically, January, April, July and October. Parties interested in applying for a lease of oil, gas, or associated hydrocarbons held by the county should begin the process by presenting a written proposal to the Duchesne County Clerk. The proposal should include a legal description of the land, the preferred auction date, and applicant contact information. This document should be presented to the county no later than the 10th day of the month prior to the quarterly disposition auction. Following the written pro-
posal, a sealed bid, using the county approved standard lease form (available from the county), must be received by the county offices no later than 5 p.m. on the last business day immediately prior to the proposed auction date at the beginning of each quarter as listed above. Bids received after this deadline will be considered in the next quarterly opening of bids. During the bid openings the commission will read into the official record of the county the name of each applicant and the terms of their proposal. After all bids have been opened the commission will select the winning bid based on the greatest monetary value to the county and the lease will be signed. In the event of a tie between bids having identical terms, the Commission Chair will open the meeting to receive verbal bids from the applicants until a highest bid is received. Questions regarding these changes in bid processes should

Man shot in head, injured Vernal police officers arrested a 26-year-old man after a motel shooting sent one man to the hospital. It happened early in the morning March 3, said Vernal Police Officer Keith Campbell. Officers were sent to the Econolodge Motel, 311 E. Main, after a report of an unknown problem. After they arrived, officers found that a tenant had been shot through a wall. The tenant was taken to the Ashley Regional Medical Center emergency room, where he was treated and released for a head wound. Police said the bullet that hit the man had come from a nearby room, Campbell said. Inside that room, police arrested 26-year-old Kyle Weaver. Weaver was booked into the Uintah County Jail on complaints of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by an intoxicated person and unlawful discharge of a firearm, Campbell said.
Forest approves oil and gas development The Ashley National Forest will allow development of natural gas resources in roadless areas. The leases, held by Berry Petroleum, were issued in 1998, predating the 2001 Roadless Rule. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack approved the project. The project would be limited to 162 well pads and 57 miles of new access road. Up to 365 wells may be drilled by using directional drilling. Development will occur over five to 20 years, with 20 to 40 wells drilled per year, according to the National Forest. Limits would be placed on well densities and operating seasons, the Forest Service reported.

Basin soldier donates marrow to save a life By ViAnn Prestwich Uintah Basin Standard Few people volunteer to have hollow needles stuck into their bone and a liter of liquid marrow pulled from the sensitive pelvic area. Rory Mele not only volunteered for this procedure, but he’s willing to undergo the same steps again if asked. “I couldn’t not do it,” Mele said. “Someone needed it.” Mele, a 2004 Uintah High School graduate, is a member of the Nevada National Guard, now living in Cedar City, Utah. 2nd Lt. Mele was at an officer leadership course in Fort Lewis, Washington in June 2010 when he first heard about the National Marrow Donor Program and the Department of Defense’s call for registry volunteers. Few of those attending the course registered. Of those who do register at that venue and across the country, only one in 540 will ever be asked to donate marrow. In a statistic abnormality, Mele received a hit less than a year later. Mele, a platoon leader in the 1864th Transportation Company, had been determined a compatible donor for a woman in the East. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside bones. Stem cells are immature cells in the
bone marrow that give rise to all of blood cells. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, bone marrow is transfused into the recipient. This helps recreate and replenish T-cells and white and red blood cells that are killed during chemotherapy. The woman who needed Mele’s help has a potentially terminal illness. Matching a potential donor is a simple process. The surgical procedure that removes this lifesaving fluid is often SUBMITTED PHOTO intimidating to nd 2 Lt. Rory Mele potential volunteers, espeexplained. “Some (donors) deal cially since there is anesthesia, with pain that can be described needles and the potential for as 10 out of 10. Others have considerable soreness. pain described as a one or a “The doctor told me that two. That was where I was at. pain was very personal,” Mele Not that bad.”
SUBMITTED PHOTO
2nd Lt. Rory Mele in the hospital for the bone marrow transplant. Mele said that when he donated last October the pain wasn’t severe, but he did become extremely fatigued. “I slept a lot the first week,” Mele explained. Even with the fatigue, Mele would find a break in his schedule and, if asked, donate again. Mele’s to-do list would be fatiguing without adding “donate blood cells.” Besides his work with the National Guard, Mele is an Assistant Director for Proctor/Foster Care at Youth Health Associates. He and his wife, Rose, are Foster Parents at Youth Health Associates. They have parented teenage boys who were making their way back from a more severe lockdown environment. “My wife did most of the work with them,” Mele said proudly, “Because I was gone so much. It’s work.” The couple is expecting their first baby and so are only fostering juveniles during emergency situations. Mele’s willingness to serve has been apparent since he was young. “He was nice to everyone,” Mele’s mother Kym said. “He
was good to the special ed kids. He knew everyone’s name. One day my husband came home after the two of them went to Walmart. Greg (Mele’s father) said he wasn’t going to the store with Rory again, because he knew everyone and talked to everyone. Took us forever.” John Snyder, owner and operator of Mr. S Clothing in Vernal, has known Mele since he was a young boy. Snyder also expected that Mele would be the first to sign as a donor. “He’s always been excellent at what he does,” Snyder said. “He was a phenomenal young man.” Mele did excel as a wrestler. He did graduate with honors from high school. He was in the top 10 percent of his graduating class at Fort Sill, Okla.; however, he laughed at the word “phenomenal.” “I’ve been given a lot,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of opportunities, and when much is given, much is required. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s true.” Already the soon-to-befather feels he has been given much through this experience.
He quoted the letter he received from the donation coordinators. “Your recipient is doing well, her recovery is proceeding as expected, and she was able to be discharged from the hospital before the holidays so she was able to go home and enjoy the holiday season with her family. Also your cells engrafted in her on 11/11/11. I personally can’t think of a more impressive “second-birthday” than that! ;o)” “She received the transplant the day after it was harvested from my pelvic bone and less than a month later it began to work!” Mele explained. “That feels good.” For the next year Mele will be informed at approximately three month intervals how the recipient is doing. At the end of the year, if the two of them agree, they can meet. “I don’t know if I want to meet,” Mele mused. “I’ve got to think about it.” He may need to think about meeting the person whose life he saved. He didn’t have to think twice about saving it.

By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard Gordon Johnson discovered a love for art when he was a young man of 9 or 10 years old growing up in the Uintah Basin. He couldn’t sleep and began drawing cartoons out of the paper. “I just kept it up,’ Johnson said. Johnson’s early education came while attending Ft. Duchesne, Avalon, and Alterra schools. “You can’t even find the foundations for the Alterra school anymore,” Johnson said. As his skills and interest in art grew he tried different mediums. “I saw my cousin was working with clay and so I took some and tried working with it,” Johnson said. He has made several bronze works, but only retains the piece that sits in his entryway. Johnson has had a varied professional life and has tried many occupations as he has moved around the western United States. Johnson still works with art in his basement studio.

By Mary Bernard Vernal Express A Vernal man already incarcerated for beating a 17-year-
Utah man pleads guilty to sexual abuse of a child A 46-year-man from Weber County pleaded guilty in 8th District Court to sexually abusing a child on at least two occasions in Vernal. Darrin Heines pleaded guilty before Judge Ed Peterson to two counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual abuse of a child, one second-degree felony sexual abuse of a child and a class A misdemeanor of lewdness involving a child. In a companion case, Heines has been convicted of five first-degree felonies in Weber County’s 2nd District Court by Judge Ernie Jones on Feb. 9 on three counts of sodomy on a child and two counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child. He was convicted in the Ogden case, which involved the same child, and received a sentence of five consecutive terms of 15 years-to-life in the Utah State Prison. The abuse came to light when the child, now 13 years in age, attempted suicide in 2011, telling the Ogden emergency room personnel of Heines’ as-
saults. Authorities in Ogden contacted the Uintah County Sheriff Department who commenced investigation into a possible incident in Vernal dating back to two years ago. In providing a factual basis for the plea, prosecutor Mike Drechsel said Heines took advantage of the child on more than one occasion while visiting the Vernal area. A Uintah County Sheriff investigator’s probable cause statement cites Heines as admitting to sexually abusing the child in the Ogden and Price areas, but denies it happened in Vernal. Potential penalties for firstdegree felonies could carry five years-to-life, a second-degree felony could carry one to 15 years and a class A misdemeanor could required one year incarceration served either in the county jail or the prison. Judge Peterson set the Heines matter for sentencing on May 1.
Tooele County’s real estate market in 2011 was defined by falling prices and rising sales volume. The total number of singlefamily homes sold rose 9.9 percent to 701 last year, compared to 638 homes sold in 2010, according to data from the Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service. However, that increase was driven by a median sales price that fell 16.2 percent, or $26,000, from $165,789 in 2010 to $139,000

in 2011. “The value of houses has gone down slightly,” said Vicki Griffith, broker and owner of Prudential Utah Real Estate in Tooele. “But short sales make the prices fall down.” Prices haven’t been so low since 2005, when the median price was $134,450. Mid-range priced homes took the biggest hit in 2011. Griffith mentioned that houses that once sold between $160,000 and $180,000 are the same houses that are being sold around the median of $139,000. Every year since 2007, the average number of days homes were listed on the market increased. Last year that hit 89 days, up from 85 in 2010. That’s the longest average wait to sell a home in the last 10 years. Steve Goodsell, a broker at Equity Real Estate in Tooele, mentioned that the rise in homes sold is a good sign for the local economy in general. –Tooele Transcript Bulletin

erred in applying the statute as Harrison’s blows to the young woman’s abdomen were “hardly a medical procedure” for abortion. The dissenting justices, Chief Justice Christine Durham and Ron Nehring, saying the State lacked jurisdiction to appeal the ruling. Harrison was originally charged with and pleaded guilty to attempted murder of an unborn child in the May 2009 beating of the teenage mother. He said he met the teen for the first time by chance after she had run away from her boyfriend. According to court documents, the teen offered Harrison $150 to beat her in such a way as to cause a miscarry, to which he complied by punching her in the abdomen repeatedly. Harrison’s role in the beating was uncovered by Naples Police investigators after the teenager was taken to the hospital by her mother. Last spring, Assistant Utah Attorney General Chris Ballard argued the legal exemption of women to be prosecuted for murder when seeking an abortion was intended for those who would seek abortions in a “safe, humane” manner through typical medical procedures. Harrison remain incarcerated in the Utah State Prison on this conviction and several unrelated convictions including unlawful sexual activity with a minor and burglary.

old pregnant teen in a botched abortion attempt received an amended sentence Wednesday adding up to 15 years to his prison term. Aaron Nathaneal Harrison, 24, was sentenced in 2009 in 8th District Court by Judge A. Lynn Payne for the attempted killing of an unborn child, a third-degree felony, to a term of zero to five years in prison. In January, the Utah Supreme Court overturned the ruling by a vote of three to two, vacating the sentence on lesser charge in favor the original second-degree felony charge. Harrison returned to the Vernal court to hear the amended sentence of attempted murder which carries a penalty of one to 15 years in the state penitentiary. The decision to reverse the district court ruling came as justices found a statute, called the Shondel doctrine, had been misapplied in accepting Harrison’s plea to the lesser charge. Supreme Court Justice Thomas Lee, writing for the court’s opinion, stated the elements of attempted murder differ from the elements of attempted killing of an unborn child by abortion. The Utah statute applies “only where the defendant causes the death by performing an abortion of the unborn child,” wrote Lee. Supreme Court Justices Lee, Matt Durrant and Jill Parrish concluded the district court

Japanese students thankful for table tennis machine Members of the Kitakami Middle School table tennis team stand with the automated practice machine purchased with funds raised by Roosevelt Jr. High School students. RJHS art teacher Chris Dye helped students learn to fold paper cranes last year as a fund raiser to help students in the tsunami stricken prefecture of Sendai Japan. More than $2500 dollars was raised. Those funds were combined with funds from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to purchase the equipment. Most of the children at the Kitakami school became orphans on March 11, 2011 when an 8.9 earthquake created a towering tsunami wave, which washed away their homes and families. The machine has helped to bring hope and joy back to the stricken school according to correspondence from Kitakami.

Children receive Legos from Basin By Ranae Bangerter Uintah Basin Standard What do cancer and Legos have in common? Children in need of something fun and creative. Jamie Toftum of Vernal organized the state’s first ever Legos for Leukemia drive and dropped off 100 boxes of the toys to Primary Children’s Medical Center on Monday. Toftum, who is undergoing treatments for cancer, said she found out about the organization Legos for Leukemia last year and decided she wanted to organize a drive. The organization collects brand new Lego sets and gives them to children suffering from life-threatening illnesses. “It just gives them a creative way to deal with this crappy thing that we call chemo,” she said. For the past month, she collected donations from three drop off locations in Vernal: Paint Your Heart Out, Tena-
cious and Country Grub. As of Friday morning Toftum had collected 63 boxes of Legos, but after more donations came in over the weekend, she ended up with 94 Legos when she left the Basin, and then purchased six more before arriving in Salt Lake City to make it an even 100. Her children riding with her Monday, Jesse, James and Jaydon, were nearly carrying Legos on their laps on the drive there. “My goal was 50 boxes and we’re well over it,” Toftum said. “We have an amazing community here, our community is so helpful.” Toftum, who taught art part time at Davis Elementary School before she was diagnosed, said she is organizing this effort “in honor of all these kids fighting this because I’m an adult and it sucks.” The effort is also personal for Tenacious owner Abby Winkler, whose daughter had Leukemia when she was small.

“I know how much time my little girl spent in the hospital, and for them to have anything to do is definitely special for them,” Winkler said. Owner of Paint Your Heart Out Windy Barton said she was happy to help the effort. “Cancer affects everybody,” Barton said. “If everybody do-
nated a little time, the world would be a better place.” Toftum plans to make another donation at the end of April. For updates on this project and for places to donate, visit the Legos for Leukemia Utah chapter at www.facebook. com/LfLUT.

Uintah Basin Medical Center welcomes new ambulance The Emergency Medical Services team at Uintah Basin Medical Center recently purchased a new Wheeled Coach ambulance to better serve the local area. The new ambulance brings the total number of operating ambulances to six in the area of Roosevelt, Altamont, Fruitland, Duchesne and Tabiona. The local EMS crews serve the area from Ballard to Tabiona and everywhere in between. Seventy-five trained EMTs dedicate their time and
skills to saving lives. Each month, the EMTs respond to approximately 100 emergency calls. EMS Roosevelt Association Secretary Laurie Jo White said, “Our EMTs provide more than transport. We are trained and dedicated. We are passionate about patient care. With our ambulance fleet and new equipment we are able to provide quicker diagnosis and treatment to the patient.” Patient care begins when EMTs arrive at the scene with the ability to send test results from the ambulance to the hos-
pital, even before the patient arrives. Emergency responders can now diagnose on scene and can also determine if the patient needs to be transferred to another hospital for specialty services. Upon arrival to the hospital, the physician is prepared and ready to begin necessary treatment, drastically reducing treatment times. “Implementing new technologies and keeping our vehicles and equipment up to date exemplifies our proven commitment to superior patient care,” said Von Johnson, EMS Manager.

to the area. According to Garcia, the film is a spiritual thriller which chronicles a man, who, while running from the past, finds a secret book with ancient powers, a tool that can give him the answers he seeks. However, a dark force will stop at nothing to reclaim the sacred text. When the book is stolen, an age old battle resumes. But the protagonist’s teacher - a “Wayshower” - can only show him the path. He must travel the way on his own. “Honestly, the thing I enjoyed most about this movie was filming in Utah. The people there were so great to us from the very beginning,” said Garcia. “People just aren’t like that most places I have been. The level of generosity in Helper was amazing.” Sun Advocate

Pops concert set for Saturday
The Roosevelt Pops Symphony will close out the day for the Step Into Spring event with its annual spring concert. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. in the Roosevelt Junior High School auditorium for the evening event. There is no admission charge for the 7 p.m. concert. Spring concerts by the Pops have traditionally been the mixed program that gives the Pops its name. This year’s concert will continue that tradition according to Pops director Steve Puro. “Musical selections this year include a Tribute to John Williams,” Puro said. “This is the arrangement of familiar Williams tunes that was played at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. There are melodies for everyone.” In addition to the movie themes, classical repertoire will be heard through pieces like Dvorak’s “Slavonic Dance #8” and Suppe’s “Light Cavalry

March exhibit features local artists By Liberty Montague Vernal Express Western Heritage Museum has never let the public down with its different displays monthly. This month the museum, located at Western Park at 328 E. 200 South, features local artists throughout the Uintah Basin. “This isn’t a craft fair,” said Chris Smith, who works at the museum. She said some things on display, like wood burning, can look like a craft but it can be turned into fine art. Photography, paintings, sketches and sculptures make up the display. Around 30 artists works are on display and a couple of the artists work at the museum. Because it is a local exhibit, there are people who bring their work to be put on display every year. Smith said, it’s nice to know the artists personally and recognize them from year to year as they bring new work. Even though there are the traditional few who participate with their art this year the museum has about three new artists on display who have never brought their work for the exhibit before. One of those is Debbie Jarman of Pelican Lake, whose wood burning and wood carving are on display. Jarman painted a portrait of Lane Frost on a bull which on display as part of the permanent exhibit at Western Heritage Museum, but she has never put her work in any fair, competition

Mike McCarty extracts eggs from a female rainbow trout at the state’s fish hatchery near Whitrocks.
DUSTIN HUGHES, Uintah Basin Standard
Mike McCarty, assistant wildlife specialist at the Whiterocks hatchery, nets some female trout for eggs. Hatchery workers spawned rainbow trout to eventually release into Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
WHITEROCKS — Birds do it, bees do it and the fish, well, the fish get a helping hand from Utah’s Department of Natural Resources workers. Odds are good the sportfish — the rainbow, brook, tiger trout or other angler’s delights found in area lakes — weren’t born and raised in the wild. Most of the fish caught in northeast Utah will have been born in the state hatchery near Whiterocks and released into area lakes. “Our whole purpose with catchable rainbow trout is to let fishermen catch and keep them,” said Dana Dewey, with the Utah DNR. “We want people to catch them.” Dewey said with the amount of fishers in Utah, the natural stock of native fish would be quickly depleted. The breeding done in state fish hatcheries keeps the lakes full of catchable fish. The mating game The process isn’t pretty, but the hatchery workers have it down to a science. On Wednesday morning, Dewey, Mike McCarty, assistant wildlife specialist, and Brad Hunt were spawning the last of the Kamloop strain of rainbow trout for the season. The fish they created this day would soon be released into Flaming Gorge reservoir. “It’s a big, fast-growing fish that the anglers like to hook,” Dewey said of the Kamloop variant. “It gives them quite a fight.” Originally found in Washington State, the Kamloop is a staple rainbow trout in lakes around the Basin and in the Uintas. And they’re made here. “Here” is a complex just north of Whiterocks. An office building sits across from a metal building about the size of an aircraft hangar. Inside that, a series of parallel troughs run the length of the building. The troughs are filled with clear, running water. Thousands of fish, ranging from the size of fingerlings to monster 5-year-old trout, are housed in those troughs. Every aspect of the water, from temperature to oxygen content, is controlled by the workers. The fish are segregated by species and sex, so that there’s no unauthorized breeding. The people take care of that part. McCarty and Hunt jump in one of the troughs and start to net female trout. They’re going to use about a dozen this morning, manually spawning them at a table inside a tent they have set up inside the building. Once they have enough females, they show how workers get eggs from a trout. McCarty picks one up, holds the tail with one hand, cradles the fish’s head in the crook of his elbow, and ever-so-gently squeezes the belly of the fish. When the trout are ready to

The three are placing fertilized fish eggs in a warm water bath to sterilize the hatchlings, making sure they won’t breed in the wild. spawn, not much has to be done. The eggs will come out in a jet of caviar with the slightest touch. This one is no different, and with just a few strokes, McCarty has anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 bright yellow eggs in his bucket. The workers get the sperm — or milt, as it’s called — from males in much the same way, squeezing it onto a mesh net covering the bucket. Once they have all the milt, they douse the mesh with a prepared water and saline solution, pouring it on top of the eggs. Within about 90 seconds, nearly all the eggs will be fertilized, and thousands of fish will be ready to hatch. That’s just the beginning. Babying the fish Dewey and his crew are personally responsible for raising about 1.5 million fish a year. Almost all are going to be released into lakes and rivers (a portion of each batch of fertilized eggs will be kept at the hatchery as breeding stock). The state has run a hatchery at Whiterocks since 1923. The current facilities are more modern, and the techniques ruled by science, but the basics have been much the same since then, Dewey said. After the eggs are fertilized, workers bathe them in warm water, sterilizing them. The heat shock method of sterilizing the eggs is new, but the sterilization of eggs is not. Dewey said it’s important to keep the fish from breeding or cross-breeding with wild fish already in the lakes. A portion of the fertilized eggs are not heat-treated, and will be kept at the hatchery and used to breed more fish later in their life. Eggs are then kept in tanks until they hatch. They’re then transferred into tanks inside the hatchery’s main building. “We feed them like kids,” Dewey
said. Workers keep the tanks clean and monitor the hatchlings’ health, feeding them probiotic food frequently. The hatchery has the raising of fish down to a science, Dewey said. “Fish grow in thermal units,” he said. “We know how fast a fish will grow by what temperature the water is. We know exactly what they’ll do by the environment we give them.” After a few months, of shelter and care in the hatchery, the hatchlings will be big enough to be released into the wild. Fish from above Utah runs 11 hatcheries. All but Whiterocks are found in or near the Wasatch Front. Whiterocks was built because all the eggs and fish from other hatcheries would die before they could be released into the Basin, Dewey said. The Whiterocks hatchery serves the entire state, but about 80 percent of the fish they raise are kept in the area. Most are delivered to lakes, such as Strawberry or Starvation Reservoir by trucks. Some are more difficult. The hatchery stocks more than 600 of the lakes high in the Uintas. Some of the lakes can’t be reached by truck, so workers fly over in airplanes and bomb the lakes with baby fish. The survivability of those flying fish is actually pretty good, Dewey said. The planes fly in low and slow enough to ensure accuracy, and the fish are small enough not to get hurt by the fall. However the fish get to their water, the Whiterocks hatchery said they want to make sure the fish are in the best shape when they get there. “It’s not just getting the numbers out, it’s getting the quality of fish out,” Dewey said. “We do take pride in our hatchery and the quality of fish we produce.”

Union High School concert hits right notes By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard Union High School’s band and orchestra concert kept audience members attention as the repertoire moved from jazz to classical to contemporary. The jazz band started the evening with Duke Ellington’s “Sepia Panorama” and later finished with “Minnie, the Moocher” by Cab Calloway and Irving Mills. Performing “In a Persian Market” by Ketelbey, the concert band took the audience on a musical journey to the Far East. Giuseppe Tartini’s “Sonata in D Major” closed the performance by the intermediate orchestra. Compliments to conductor and teacher Brice Barson and credit to an audience that displayed outstanding concert etiquette as Barson led 10 movements from Bartok’s series “For Children.” The auditorium remained silent through each transition from movement to movement and the orchestra performed with excellent attention to the conductor. The next community event from the UHS instrumental music department will be April 14 when the jazz band presents its annual jazz band dance in the UHS commons.

The halls were packed with neatly dressed student musicians, instruments quietly tuned, and parents waited as nervously as their children. Last Wednesday, leap year was the performance date in Roosevelt for the annual Solo and Ensemble competition in the Duchesne School District. District Solo and Ensemble is the first competitive step high school student musicians take to advance to Region S and E competition. From Region, the best of the high school age musicians move on to the state competition April 28. Students perform their prepared music selections in front of adjudicators who rate the performance on technical merit, mastery of the instrument, difficulty of the piece, tone, etc. The adjudicators score the participants on a 3 point scale. In order to advance to region, the high school musicians must attain a 1 or a 1- score. Solo and Ensemble, an event recognized by the Utah High School Activities Association, gives the student musicians an opportunity to learn more musical literature on their instrument of choice. It also pushes the aspiring musicians to stand

By Cheyenn Clayburn Last Tuesday the Roosevelt FFA chapter held a tug-a-war contest. The winners of the contest were the boys from the junior class and the girls from the senior class. Both classes will receive $25 that will go towards their senior trip. On Wednesday, to conclude FFA week, there was a halfgallon milk drinking contest in which junior Mitch Spencer won the first place prize of $100, sophomore Gavin Nielsen won the second place prize of $50 and senior Josh Serawop won the third place prize of $10. Later that day the school had a hypnotist assembly. Many students commented that this had been the best assembly of the year and that it was very entertaining to watch. Later that night the FFA held a hypnotist dinner and show night. During the dinner portion of the night, FFA members Colin Crozier and Jesse Jorgensen performed a few of their band’s songs written by Colin Crozier. Before the hypnotist show
the FFA competition contestants auctioned off their decorated cakes to determine the contests winners. The winners were as follows: First place was Colin Crozier and Chelsey Gillman, second place Sam and Colton Guffy, third place was Colin moon and Sydney Davis, and fourth place was Steven Welsh and Courtney Jensen. The winning cake sold for $180 to Dan Crozier. The Roosevelt FFA chapter earned a total of $450 from the cake auction. In other Union news, Union high school’s bowling team went to the Utah state bowling tournament in Vernal. At the tournament Union’s black team took first and Union’s gold team took sixth.

An Altamont Elementary student gives his review of two thumbs up after seeing “The Lorax” as part of a reading incentive from the month of February.
Altamont Elementary students get Seuss reward By Steve Puro Uintah Basin Standard Reading students from Altamont Elementary celebrated the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) last Friday by going to the Roosevelt Theaters and seeing a special presentation of the new Dr. Seuss movie, “The Lorax.” More than 300 students from Altamont read enough
hours to qualify for the incentive trip, which was organized by Principal Janalee Goodrich, teacher Jaqueline Loertscher, and Americorps volunteer Ruth Winkler. Third grader Kyzlee Farnsworth was all smiles as she came out of the theater. “I love it,” Farnsworth said. “You had to read enough hours to come and all of us read enough, so we got to come.” Altamont third grade teacher Barbara
Christensen helped count the kids back onto the buses. “We had to read so many hours during the month of February,” Christensen said. “Once we reached our goals, we got to come to the movie.” Clayton Hansen, in first grade, seemed happy with the reward trip. “It was real good, I liked it. I read five hours to come here,” Hansen said.
By Kimberly Bruton This past week we have had strong winds, a “flood” down the road behind the school from broken pipes, a wrecked Semi-truck laying across Main Street, and an extra day in the month of February.

Conover. His father is Clifford Conover. “Every child is different, but Kody doesn’t have the medical problems that most have with Down Syndrome.” Conover also plays golf on the Union team and is a Jr. Jazz basketball competitor. He was
a first-time bowler this year. Conover also enjoys playing racquetball. “It is great to bowl. I like getting strikes and spares,” Kody Conover said. “I like both bowling and golf the same. However, bowling is more of a team sport.” Golf is his passion as he is a regular on the Roosevelt
Golf Course and competes in various tournaments. His best golf score was a 66 or 68 on 18 holes he reported. “He enjoys playing golf and has a good putting touch. He wakes up wanting to play sports. He lives and breathes golf and all sports,” said Kitty. “He didn’t sleep much Friday night because of the state
bowling meet that was held on Saturday (Feb. 25). He had a couple of strikes at the state meet, and he broke out into a dance he does. He got the whole place rolling and laughing.” He does a turkey dance when he gets a strike, which makes him happy just like every other bowler.

83 win over Houston last week C.J. Miles led Utah with 27 and Devin Harris added 19. Another Unknown Athlete While researching my dad Orlando and his brothers Rudy, Eldon, Sam, Henry and Ray’s baseball careers I discovered Angelo Venturelli, who helped Helper to its first American Legion state championship in 1940. I found an Angelo Venturelli that had a California phone number. The guy was Angelo’s son. Since I mentioned I was related to the Racheles of Helper he gave me his dad’s phone number in Arizona. Angelo was all excited to discover someone who wanted to know about his baseball career. He told me that he played for the old San Diego Padres in the Pacific Coast League. I couldn’t find any record of his having played for the Padres, but he knew some big name players such as Billy Martin, who played for the Oakland team in 1948 in the Pacific Coast League. Martin was a former New York Yankee manager, who loved to kick dirt all over umpires while having an argument. I finally found Angelo Venturelli, who was born in Mutual, Utah – now a ghost town up Spring Canyon near Helper, Utah. He played for the San Diego Padres in the Pacific Coast League in 1948. He posted an 0-2 pitching mark for the Padres. Angelo had three triples and three doubles as a slugger. Angelo started playing in the Pioneer League for a Salt Lake City team in 1941. He was 0-0 as a pitcher. He played for Twin Falls, Idaho in 1942. Angelo had his career like most baseball players interrupted because of World War II. He returned to play in 1947 with a Modesto, California team. He had his best season at 12-16 and pitched in 33 games. I’m happy I located his fouryear career as a pro baseball player on Baseball-Reference. com. ”

Section 1. Executive Summary Housing The focus of this year’s housing update is on the Barriers to Affordable Housing and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. These two issues, and what is being done to alleviate them, are important to our communities. Barriers to Affordable Housing Local government policies that increase building costs and/or restrict the supply of housing are one of the primary reasons for the lack of affordable housing. Regulations by cities and counties seem to be one of the biggest barriers to affordable housing. These range from minimum lot sizes that encourage larger and more expensive homes to the prohibition of multifamily dwellings. In some communities, regulations have raised the cost of new development and construction by 35 percent. There have been some instances of this in our region. But, through education of what barriers are and local officials realizing the need for affordable housing, these instances are becoming fewer. High impact fees can be another barrier that can affect the affordability of housing. Some
communities can impose fees on developers and homebuyers that must be paid in advance of new construction. The fees are supposed to recoup the cost of connecting roads and sewer lines. But the fees are often far higher than the new infrastructure costs. I believe that our community leaders try and limit these fees as much as possible. In meeting with several local planners, I have found that the impact fees that are charged are in line with the costs that are being incurred to provide the services to households. Many communities have tried to increase the supply of affordable housing through inclusionary zoning laws. These laws give builders incentives, or require them, to reserve a portion of new units for low and/or moderateincome households. Uintah County and Vernal City have been especially proactive in making sure that developments include provisions for affordable housing in their affordable housing plans. This will be especially helpful as the area begins to see growth. Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice It is the Uintah Basin Association of Government’s mission to promote non-discrimination and ensure fair and equal housing opportunities for all. Current local laws and statutes do not appear to cause any major barriers to fair housing choice in our region. The barriers seem to be more market driven due to the economy of the area. During “boom” times, low-income families and individuals may be priced out of rental housing. This seems to be especially hard on the elderly population and some families, especially single parent households. Currently, there are projects either under construction or in the planning stages to increase the senior housing in the area. By constructing senior only housing now, this will prepare the region for the next cycle that happens in the region. Some common factors that have been identified that might limit housing choice include: Lack of affordable housing; Lack of affordable housing that is accessible to the disabled; Lack of Section 8 vouchers and other spend down housing programs; Location of workforce housing and availability of housing in areas near the workforce; Lack of reasonable and accessible transportation services; Inability to obtain a mortgage; Inability to obtain homeowner’s insurance because of where you live. Lack of affordable single family housing for the mid-income workers Lack of transition housing for those leaving incarceration or possessing felonies. After speaking with planners and other area officials, it is clear that continue to work with the community Housing Authorities, area housing agencies, minorities and housing advocates
to expand Fair Housing throughout the community to increase awareness about housing needs in the community. Published in the Uintah Basin Standard March 6 and 13, 2012.

Tabiona Tigers down Tintic at 1A state meet By Aldon Rachele Uintah Basin Standard Tabiona had a bad start, but a great finish as the Tigers earned a 45-38 win over region champion, Tintic on Wednesday in the first round of the 1A Boys State Tournament in Richfield. THS dropped a second round contest to Layton Christian 46-36 on Thursday. Tabiona was eliminated from the meet on a 71-62 loss to Green River on Friday.

Monte Clyde hit a shot to give Tabiona its first lead at 20-18, and a Demont Nay layup had Tabiona up 22-18. Clyde zipped in a three – just over the midcourt line – for a Tiger six-point lead after three quarters. However, Tintic rallied back to tie the game at 31-31 on a bucket by Collin Fitzgerald. Clyde hit another 3-pointer and so did Taylor Hurst of Tintic for a 34-34 tie with just over three minutes left. Nay hit a layup for a Tabiona lead of 36-34, but Tintic knotted the game at 36-36. However, Van Tassell rebounded in a bucket for a 38-36 Tiger lead with 1:03 remaining. Clyde zoomed in a layup and Tabiona led 40-36. The Miners had cut the lead to two. However, Tabiona connected on five free throws in the final seconds to win by seven.

Utah Jazz forward Jeremy Evans was honored at the EnergySolutions Arena center court before tipoff of the Jazz game vs. Houston on Wednesday (I still miss the old Delta Center name—I would even take back the old Salt Palace name—Maybe even the Big Al Center would be nice). Jazz CEO Greg Miller, owner Gail Miller, president Randy Rigby and Utah Governor Gary Herbert presented Evans with a declaration for being the 2012 NBA slam-dunk contest winner. Wednesday, Feb. 29—Leap Day – was also named Jeremy Evans Day in honor of the high flyer. Get it—Leap Day as a leaping day in the Slam-Dunk world. I am ready to slam dunk ESPN for the sports station’s picking on Evans for being the Great Unknown Slam Dunker. Someone said, “Evans did what he had to do to win the event!’ This year’s slam dunk featured only four competitors
Union at Kanab – March 9-10; Carbon at Union, Highland at Union – March 17, Rangely at Union, North Summit at Union – March 20, Union at Moffat County – March 27, Moffat County at Union – March 29.

and they were pretty much unknowns with Evans of the Utah Jazz, Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chase Budinger of the Houston Rockets ( I will be honest—I had to look up Budinger’s name – at first I listed Ryan Anderson of Orlando). Some say that the 2012 NBA Slam Dunk contest lacked sizzle, but there was no way anyone would have done better than 2011 NBA Slam Dunk winner Blake Griffin, who leaped over a car. Still I was impressed with Evans’ two basketball slam dunk. Most people don’t know that Evans has been showing off his slam dunk skills at Jr. Jazz Clinic throughout Utah over the past two years. Evans displayed his slam dunk talent at Union High School this past summer in a Jr. Jazz Clinic. Evans has to be rated as the best and nicest guy to be at clinics over the years in the Uintah Basin. Evans was ready with a smile and did as many dunks as possible to make everyone happy. Little used Evans had four points in the Utah Jazz’ 104SEE THOUGHTS on page B7

DHS ends season with two-overtime win By Aldon Rachele Uintah Basin Standard The Duchesne Eagles had the tough luck of playing a championship caliber team in Bryce Valley in the first round of the 1A state tournament and after a 52-39 loss DHS proved they were among the best teams in the state. DHS won three games in a row with the final one a two overtime classic triumph over Panguitch 56-54 for sixth place and the consolation title. Layton Christian ended up defeating Bryce Valley 6458 in the championship game. Bryce Valley placed second. Duchesne posted a 3-1 record at the meet and had an overall season mark of 21-4. Bryce Valley advanced into the 1A state title game vs. Layton Christian Academy on Saturday. A 3-point shot by Mike Dye in the fourth quarter and free throws by Kane Nealley and Macoy Young had DHS ahead 45-43, but Panguitch tied up the game at 45-45 with 20 seconds left. The game was tied at 45-45 and went into overtime. Shiaba Allen hit two free throws for a 47-45 Eagle edge in the first overtime, and then a three-point play put the Bobcats ahead at 48-47. Young jetted to the net for a field goal plus added a free throw for a 50-48 DHS lead. Panguitch’s Adams tossed in two foul pitches for a 50-50 tie that sent the game into a second overtime. Trevon Spencer made two buckets for a 54-52 DHS advantage, but Panguitch knotted the game at 54-54. Allen zapped in one foul pitch for a Duchesne lead of 55-54. DHS lost the ball on a questionable traveling call and then Braiden Despain made the play of the game – a steal with 11 seconds to go. Despain hit one out of two free throws and the Bobcats missed a long two-pointer to give DHS a 56-54 win. The game was the first overtime contest in the four days of the state meet in Richfield. Panguitch led Duchesne 2620 at the half and the Bobcats led 37-30, but Spencer hit a shot to close the gap to two at 37-35 after three quarters. Despain rebounded in a basket for a 37-37 tie. More ties were ahead as the game went into two overtimes. DHS’ overtime work paid off with a two-point triumph. Team totals were: Panguitch – Field goals: 19, Free-throws: 11-11 and Duchesne – Field goals: 19, Free-throws: 14 -25. Spencer was the best Eagle at 14 points and Young tossed in 11. Also scoring for DHS were: Dye, 9 (three 3-pointers); Despain, 8; Nealley, Allen, 7. Panguitch was led by Tom Adams at 18 and Tyce Barney at 12. Bryce Valley and Duchesne were ranked in the top five in polls by the Salt Lake Tribune all year, and what was viewed as a possible 1A championship game instead was a first round game in which the Mustangs toppled the Eagles on Wednesday. Both teams had been listed as No. 1 squads during the regular season. Duchesne rebounded with an 83-41 win over St. Joseph on Thursday. The Eagles downed Whitehorse on Friday 66-59. The Eagles placed sixth and won the consolation title by edging Panguitch in two overtimes 56-54 on Saturday The first quarter was close with Bryce Valley up 11-9, but a 13-2 run gave Bryce Valley a 24-11 lead. A 15-5 third quarter had Bryce Valley up 39-16. Duchesne went on a 17-1 run to trim the Mustang lead to seven at 40-33. Bryce Valley held off DHS for a 13-point win. DHS outscored Bryce Valley 23-13 in the fourth quarter. Team totals were: Bryce Valley – Field goals: 17, Freethrows: 15 -25, and Duchesne – Field goals: 13, Free-throws: 8 -15. McKade Nielsen was tops for DHS at 15. He had two 3-pointers. Mike Dye had nine. Dye hit two threes. Also scoring for Duchesne were: Trevon Spencer, 7; Macoy Young, 4; Braiden Despain, Garett Grant, 2. Eddie Dunham led the way for the Mustangs with 20 points, and Jake Pearson tossed in14. Duchesne forgot about Bryce Valley and jumped out to 22-9 first quarter start vs. St. Joseph Catholic High School and went onto win by a ton. Two 23-10 runs put the Eagles up 68-29 heading to the final quarter. Team totals were: St. Joseph – Field goals: 16, Freethrows: 4 -12 and Duchesne – Field goals: 34, Free-throws: 9 -16. Mike Dye’s second 3-pointer had DHS ahead 45-17. Ear-

The Union crew took second last year. Members of the Union Black team are: Tony Alania, Konnor Kimbel, Tyler Bond, Austin Casper, Kody Conover, Alex Hill, Tiffany Zufelt and Dam’n Hill. Union Gold team pocketed sixth at 3845. They finished 33 pins out of first place. Grantsville #2 and Copper Hills tied for third at 3870 and Uintah White was fifth at 3850. Teams from Union, Uintah, Grantsville, Copper Hills, Bountiful-West-Murray, Riverton, Syracuse, Uintah River, Morgan, Tooele, Box Elder and Kearns competed in the meet. Hill, Alania and Zufelt bowled above their averages to help the Union Black team to the state championship. “I had four strikes in a row, which is known as a ‘fourbagger.’ I was nervous watching

the other guys play. A 191 was my best score. In two games before I was at the 120s,” said Alania. D. Hill was proud of his team winning the title. “I was surprised that we won it all. We worked hard and my teammates came through,” said D. Hill. “The Union Gold did a good job as well.” The Union Gold crew consists of Anthony Aguiniga, Jordan Bailey, Brandon Cook, Wayland Hackford, Ben Huffman, A.J. Peterson and Carlos Soto. Hackford was just as excited as everyone else on the Union teams. “I love those strikes and knocking down those pins,” Hackford said. Peterson was an offensive lineman on Union’s football team last year and also is a bowler. “In bowling I don’t hit anyone – just the pins. We had a better record than the football team. I got lots of strikes. I bowled my first ever 220 game this year,” Peterson said. Kody has Down syndrome, a chromosomal condition caused
