A total of 15 Blue Peak High School students walked across the stage of their gym and picked up diplomas Monday night.

Hope Meacham, a student speaker at the graduation, described to the commence-ment audience her path to graduation.

She said her life changed in many ways after a serious acci-dent in June 2015 left her with a traumatic brain injury.

“The brain injury left me unable to handle big crowds and loud noises,” she said. “I had a hard time at school because of the large crowds and noise.”

Meacham said she suffered from anxiety and often called her mom to pick her up from school.

“I missed classes and it started affecting my grades,” she said.

Her mom eventually pulled Meacham out of her traditional high school and enrolled her at

If the 12 people who showed up at Grantsville City Hall last Thursday night were to rewrite Tooele County’s government, the county would have more commissioners — if taxpayers could afford them.

That was the main theme heard by the Tooele County Government Study Committee at its first public input meeting.

Grantsville City Councilwoman Jewel Allen told the study committee that she likes the idea of a bigger commission with more people

to bounce ideas off of.“That way you get better

representation,” she said. “I’m also open to electing commis-sioners or council members by districts.”

Kent Sagers, former mayor of Vernon and leader of the study committee’s community

review subcommittee, started off the input meeting with a presentation on the commit-tee’s research.

Sagers’ presentation includ-ed information on the forms of county governments approved by the state, criteria the study committee will use to evaluate

the different forms of govern-ment, and voting trends in county elections.

The forms of government approved by the state include the current three-member commission that combines the legislative and executive functions. The current three-

member commission may be expanded to either five or seven members, according to Sagers.

Other approved forms of county government include separating the legislative and

Some of the best military, law enforcement and civilian shooters from around the state took part in the Dugway Police Department’s Tactical Top Shot 3-Gun Competition on Friday.

The event, now in its sixth year, added a shotgun course and a long-distance rifle range, with targets up to 425 meters away. Dugway Police Chief Phillip Fishbeck said the changes were based upon feedback from previous partici-pants.

The main three-gun compe-tition tests participants’ abili-ties with the rifle, shotgun and pistol. An individual course for

the pistol returned, with a new target featuring 18 knockdown targets.

Another change was using metal targets throughout the three-gun course, where paper targets had previously been used on the rifle range. Fishbeck said metal targets were quicker to reset, which helped the competition move more quickly.

Vendors like Action Target and Ear Dynamics provided raffle prizes and competition awards for the 48 participants.

A new smart phone app has led to a 24-percent drop in suicides in Utah since it went online in January, accord-ing Utah State Sen. Daniel Thatcher.

The senator was one of five people who spoke Thursday night at a meeting focused on ways religious leaders can help members of their congrega-tions who may be considering death by suicide.

The event was held at St. Marguerite Catholic

Church and conducted by Rev. Kenneth Vialpando and sponsored by the Life’s Worth Living Foundation. About 50 people attended the meeting that included dinner.

“We each have our own programs, but I thought it was important that we come together so that we can all be on the same page,” Vialpando said. “As pastors, parents and teachers, this is our mission to reach out to our families and friends, to our neighbors and

Editor’s note: This is the third installment of a multi-part series about a consultant’s research findings on tourism in Tooele County.


If Tooele County were a per-son, it might need a therapist to help it deal with a split person-ality disorder.

Hired by the Tooele County Commission to develop a posi-tive tourism brand campaign, the county’s tourism consul-tants used a common market-ing research technique called “brand personification” to assess the county’s current brand.

In focus groups with a cross section of Tooele County busi-ness owners and residents, researchers asked groups to describe the county as if it were a person.

“If Tooele County were a per-son, what gender would it be? What does it wear? How old is it? What does it do? What does it like?” the researchers asked.

The answers surprised the researchers.

“Brand personification is a common technique. All of the members of the team have used brand personification in many situations,” said Mike Deaver with State Street Partners. “It usually goes pretty easy, but we were all surprised at how dif-ficult it was for the focus groups to describe Tooele County.”

Two distinct people emerged from the focus groups’ discus-sion of Tooele County’s personi-fication, according to Deaver.

One person was labeled the “old-timer.”

The old-timer was described as gender neutral, blue collar, middle class. The old-timer looks weathered and dresses casual in boots, jeans and a flan-nel shirt.

The old-timer enjoys a rural lifestyle and the outdoors. They drive a Ford F-150 that they self-maintain. The old-timer listens to country or classic rock music and supports local sport-ing events.

The other person was labeled the “newcomer.”

The newcomer, like the old-timer, is gender neutral, blue collar and middle class, but the two personalities diverge from there. The newcomer was described as a young person in an old body.

The newcomer dresses casual, but instead of the boots and a flannel shirt of the old-timer, the newcomer wears Vans, jeans, t-shirt and a stylish jacket.

The newcomer drives a hybrid commuter car and wants a city salary but not the stress of

city living. The newcomer keeps to him or herself and is both street and nature smart.

“The divergent view is unusu-al,” Deaver said.

The brand personification exercise provided important information to the research team about residents’ percep-tion of the county. Developing a brand is more than a name, logo and a catch phrase. A brand involves what people think and feel about the brand, Deaver said.

The brand personification exercise combined with data on the impression of Tooele County among its own residents and non-residents, leading research-ers to conclude that Tooele County may have a self-image problem.

The researchers supported that conclusion with two spe-cific pieces of data.

First, Tooele County resi-dents’ impression of their own county is significantly lower than Wasatch Front resident’s impression of their own coun-ties.

A total of 91 percent of Wasatch Front residents sur-veyed rated their own county as favorable, compared to the 75 percent of Tooele County that gave Tooele County a favorable rating.

Second, Wasatch Front residents have a much more positive impression of Tooele County than Tooele County resi-dents thought they would.

Two-thirds of Wasatch Front residents gave Tooele County a positive impression rating, twice as many as Tooele County resi-dents predicted.

The fractured self-identity of Tooele County may be an obstacle to developing a positive brand for the county, but not impossible to overcome, accord-ing to Deaver.

“Tooele County’s reputation may need some improvement, perhaps largely among its own residents, but it’s not a big problem.” Deaver said. “The obstacles are all eminently sur-mountable.”

State Street Partners’ Tourism Research Findings end with the statement, “In five to seven years, there is a real possibility that Tooele County will be a sur-prisingly different place; even more vibrant, energetic, and strong; more loved by residents and more respected and valued by the people along the Wasatch Front.”[email protected]

Tooele County Sheriff Paul Wimmer recognized the accomplishments of the department’s employees dur-ing an award banquet Friday evening at Tooele Applied Technology College.

As in years past, the banquet was held in conjunction with National Police Week, which was May 14-20. Wimmer acknowledged Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Eric Ellsworth and West Valley City Officer Cody Brotherson, who were killed in the line of duty in 2016.

“We take this opportunity to mourn the fallen,” he said. “It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the profession and all those who work in it and all those who make it possible for us to work in law enforce-ment.”

Six Tooele County Sheriff’s employees were awarded out-standing service awards for their contributions in the past year, including members of the patrol, jail and dispatch divi-sions.

Deputy Scott Green was recognized for a traffic stop he performed that solved a vehicle burglary case, located a missing child and located dozens of pieces of stolen mail. Green was nominated by Sgt. Nicholas Yale for his work on that traffic stop and through-out the year.

Deputy Jim White received an outstanding service award for his work as a school resource officer at Stansbury High School, as well as plan-ning department events like Shop With A Cop and the Special Olympics torch run.

“(White) works equally well with students, faculty, as well

as the parents of students,” said Stansbury High Vice Principal Kalem Norton, in his nomination letter. “... He is, by far, the best school resource officer I have ever worked with.”

Lt. Ray Clinton nominated Sgt. Jessica Colby for her work at the Tooele County Detention Center. In his letter, Clinton recognized Colby’s willing-ness to offer ideas, look after employees, learn more about her profession and manage time off.

While they were unable to attend the banquet due to work duties, deputies Shane Didericksen and Jody Edward were recognized for their work at the county jail.

Didericksen, nominated by Clinton, works in jail trans-portation and drives countless hours moving prisoners to and from jails and courts in Tooele County and beyond. According to his nomination, Didericksen works late hours throughout the week and coordinates pris-on exchanges at halfway points between jurisdictions.

Edward was nominated by Sgt. Bryan Price after she prevented a fight at the jail by identifying the brewing conflict before it occurred. She also discovered dominoes that were being sharpened for use in a potential fight.

Dispatch Sgt. Shannon Gowans was recognized for her work during a power out-age at dispatch due to a failed uninterruptable power supply last year. She coordinated with Tooele County Emergency Management Communications technician Andy Tanner to get the system back online.

“Her leadership skills and concern for our public were proven once again to all of us

involved and I spent much of the day on the phone with her making sure all of our bases were covered,” Tanner said, in his nomination letter.

Deputy Kevin Snider received the Sheriff’s Award, chosen by Wimmer, for his

help with the department’s transition to a new reporting software system connected with dispatch and jail manage-ment. Wimmer said Snider provided technical support for the sheriff’s office and spent months working through the

bugs and implementing the new system.

“Any time you’re talking switching software, it’s a huge endeavor,” Wimmer said. “You’re talking software that costs tens of thousands of dol-lars and then the whole imple-

mentation of it is very man hour intensive.”

Awards for years of service to the sheriff’s office were also presented to employees with 10 and 15 years of employ-ment with the [email protected]

A zoning change will allow a real estate developer to move forward with a plan to build 125 townhouses on 9.15 acres in Tooele City.

The city council on Wednesday approved a resolu-tion with a unanimous vote to change the zoning at approxi-mately 850 N. 100 East from general commercial to high-density residential.

After an initial discussion about the proposal back on April 5, city leaders mentioned they were concerned about future traffic safety in the area.

The approved version of the passed resolution requires the developer to build a 60-foot-wide road from the west side of the property to the east side. Land to the east of the prop-erty is vacant, but city leaders anticipate residential develop-ment there in the future.

“We need to have public access through the property to the east side,” said councilman Scott Wardle. He also liked that the developer’s plan is to rent the units and that there will be a home owners associa-tion taking care of landscaping.

Mayor Patrick Dunlavy said he was concerned about the

potential traffic problems in the area in case of an emer-gency such as a fire.

“A fire truck wouldn’t be the only emergency vehicle responding, it would also be all the personal vehicles respond-ing to the incident,” he said. “If the fire happened at the same time that nearby school was beginning or ending, it could create the perfect storm.”

Scholar Academy is located just north of the proposed development.

A preliminary proposal for the development would include 16 buildings and three acres of open space with playground equipment and a basketball court, according to planning commission minutes.

Randy Sant, the city’s economic development con-sultant, urged city leaders to consider the economics that accompany high-density zones. He said developers should be able to present “absorp-tion” studies as to how soon units would be sold and/or occupied. If units are not sold quickly enough, he said, the developer could go bankrupt and the area become blighted.

The council is concerned about the future appearance of Tooele City and how high-den-

sity developments fit in.“The council and adminis-

tration needs to be very sensi-tive to the question of what we want to be as a city — what do we want the city to look like,” Dunlavy said in an April work meeting. “High density hous-ing, put in the right place with the right project design, works well and fills a need. The city’s current zoning, along with our experience in planning, can help ensure a good outcome for the city and the developer.”[email protected]

Council approves high-density zone change for development


Tooele City Council approved a zoning change for about 9.15 acres of land for a high-density housing development at 850 North 100 East. The development could include up to 125 townhouses.

Add the “Mayor Patrick H. Dunlavy Leadership Scholarship” to a growing list of scholarships available for Tooele High School seniors.

The first scholarship in honor of Tooele City’s mayor was awarded to Tiffanee Bird on May 14 during scholarship night at Tooele High School.

Ed Dalton, executive direc-tor of the Tooele Education Foundation, spoke at last Wednesday’s Tooele City Council meeting about the new leadership scholarship.

“An anonymous donor came forward and donated $1,500 for a scholarship on behalf of Mayor Patrick Dunlavy and for the great progress he and his team have made over his years of service,” Dalton said.

“I’m very humbled, honored and grateful for this,” the mayor said at the meeting.

Dunlavy is concluding his 12th year as Tooele’s mayor and has worked for the city for more than 40 years.

Dalton said TEF hopes to continue the scholarship every year in honor of Dunlavy.

“We have a family of 30-35 scholarships available to seniors in the Tooele County School District that we didn’t have five years ago,” Dalton said. “It all started with the Jordan M. Byrd Scholarship.”

About 280 seniors applied for scholarships this year, he said.

“We have a wide array of scholarships, but we were miss-ing a leadership scholarship,” Dalton said.

“In my mind, Pat is a quiet leader and many of the great things that are happening in the city are because of his love for his community,” he added. He’s lived here his entire life.”

“I don’t think the community realizes how much Tooele City has done in helping with educa-tion,” Dalton said. In addition to working with Utah State University - Tooele Regional

Campus and Tooele Applied Technology College, Dalton mentioned city programs like Communities that Care and the Mayor’s Youth Recognition Awards.

The leadership scholarship may be used by the recipient to attend an applied technol-ogy college, community college or university of their choice, according to the application packet.

The scholarship was estab-lished to help students who have demonstrated a high level of leadership experience and skill, the packet states.

Dalton said TEF is always willing to help people set up scholarship donations on behalf of businesses, families, groups or individuals. He and program administrator Kendall Thomas are available to arrange for scholarships.

To contact Dalton, call 435-830-8551 or Thomas at [email protected]

The third annual Lantern Fest was held at Utah Motorsports Campus on Saturday with an estimated 15,000 visitors attending, according to UMC spokesman John Gardner. He said it was the biggest one-day event in terms of audience numbers in UMC’s his-tory. According to Lantern Fest’s website, the event “is an opportunity for thousands of revelers to join as a community and create an unforgettable spectacle ... to light the sky with lanterns representing our highest hopes, deepest regrets, and fondest dreams.” From noon until late Saturday night, the parking area at UMC between Sheep Lane and the administration building (right) was filled with participants, food trucks and vendors. Live music was also performed as participants waited for darkness and the magic moment to cooperatively light (top right) thousands of lanterns and release them (above) into the night sky over Tooele Valley. Another Lantern Fest is scheduled for UMC on Sept. 16, Gardner said. Arriving and departing revelers caused major traffic delays on state routes 36, 138 and 112, and on Sheep Lane and Erda Way throughout the day.

The question is no longer wheth-er there are grounds to impeach Donald Trump. The question

is when enough Republicans will put their loyalty to America ahead of their loyalty to their party.

Trump’s statements last week about his firing of former FBI Director James Comey provide ample evidence that Trump engaged in an obstruc-tion of justice — a major charge in impeachment proceedings brought against Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

It’s worth recalling that the illegal-ity underlying Nixon’s impeachment was a burglary at the Watergate com-plex, while the illegality underlying Clinton’s was lying to a grand jury about sex with an intern in the White House.

Trump’s obstruction is potentially far more serious. It involves an inves-tigation into whether Trump or his aides colluded with Russia in rig-ging a presidential election — which would be the most direct assault on American democracy in history.

Last Thursday, in an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt about his firing of

Comey, Trump said: “I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.” Trump also said that he had pressed Comey during a private dinner to tell him if he was under investigation.

Trump conceded that the ongo-ing investigation into Russian influ-ence on the 2016 election, which includes a probe into the possibility that Moscow was coordinating with the Trump campaign, was one of the factors he considered before firing Comey.

“In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won,’” Trump said.

The law is reasonably clear. If Trump removed Comey to avoid being investigated, that’s an obstruction of

justice — an impeachable offense.On Friday, Trump tweeted that

Comey “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”

Here, the law is also clear. Seeking to silence, intimidate or even influ-ence someone who is likely to offer evidence in a congressional or crimi-nal proceeding is also an obstruction of justice — and an impeachable

A roadmap to the end of Trump’s presidency

For the past couple of years, the most important word in American politics has been the

worst — “rigged.”Emanating from slang back in

the 17th century, developing into a description of financial fraud, and then branching out to apply to cheating in sports and elections, “rigged” had a breakthrough year in 2016, and it shows no sign of loos-ening its grip.

It is a word of grievance and con-spiracy. It is a word of institutional distrust. It is a word of larger forces beyond our control taking advan-tage of us. It is a word that says, “We wuz robbed — and we will make the b------- pay.”

In short, it is the perfect term for a fevered era in our national life.

Donald Trump has charged that everything is rigged. “It’s not just the political system that’s rigged, it’s the whole economy,” he said during the campaign. The rigging specifically encompassed, among other things, “unfair trade, immi-gration and economic policies,” as well as the Republican primary (at least when he was losing ground).

Since Hillary Clinton picked up on the verbiage from Bernie Sanders, both major-party can-didates last year argued that the system had been manipulated by nefarious forces working for their self-interested ends, i.e., “rigged.” The election was basically a con-test over which party had a better claim on the word. Yes, “the game is rigged,” Elizabeth Warren thun-dered. “It’s rigged for guys like Donald Trump.”

In the stretch run of the cam-paign, Trump warned his sup-porters that “we are competing in a rigged election” and demurred from saying in advance that he would accept the results. Democrats lamented Trump’s rhetoric, but when he pulled off a stunning upset, they immediately resorted to rigged charges of their own. Trump hadn’t really won; the election had

been stolen in a smoke-filled room somewhere in the Kremlin.

The charges and countercharges contrast with the bygone era when national politicians avoided public allegations of foul play even when they might legitimately suspect it. Richard Nixon didn’t contest his razor-thin defeat in the 1960 presidential election, despite doubts about the vote count in Illinois and Texas. He thought it wouldn’t be good for the country, whereas now charges of rigging are the default. With trust in most American institu-tions badly eroded over the past 40 years, such accusations find a ready audience — and do their part to undermine trust a little bit more.

The idea that whatever we don’t like about our country is the handiwork of shadowy forces is a form of paranoia, certainly when it involves systems as large, diverse and uncontrolled as our politics or our economy. But there is a certain comfort in this mindset. It provides a ready, simple explanation for unwelcome trends or outcomes, and fixes responsibility for our troubles on an enemy. It implicitly promises not so much the creation of a set of truly neutral rules or more legitimate institutions than simple vengeance against those who are allegedly responsible for the rigging.

In other words, it heralds a par-ticularly nasty politics, and, increas-ingly, it’s the one thing that unites the right and left.

‘Rigged.’ The worst word in politics

In early March, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey told an audience at a cyber

security conference in Boston, “You’re stuck with me for another six and a half years.” Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump fired him.

In the months leading up to his election, Trump had vowed to “drain the swamp” in Washington. The FBI has been a glaring example of the rampant politicization of federal insti-tutions, particularly the ones dealing with national security and intelli-gence. Comey’s firing was part of the swamp-draining.

The FBI is supposed to be the feder-al crime-fighting police force. Instead, the bureau has finagled its way into the budget for seemingly every hot-topic threat, even if the threat is pri-marily in an overseas jurisdiction.

When terrorism became a big line item in the U.S. budget, the FBI (a domestic agency) took over respon-

sibility for the international “Most Wanted Terrorists” list. So if, for example, while pumping gas into your Range Rover at the local Costco, you happened to spot Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the current al-Qaida leader and the founder of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, please contact your local FBI office.

Since none of the most wanted terrorists are in the U.S., the FBI will have to pass along the information to the CIA anyway, but at least the bureau got to touch the ball during the game and share the cash prizes. It’s less about pragmatism and more about the politics of keeping everyone happy and well-funded.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley,

chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote to Comey on March 6, expressing concern about the politicization of the FBI. Grassley referenced a Washington Post article about the FBI agreeing to pay for a subsequently discredited dossier on Trump compiled by British spy turned private eye Christopher Steele.

According to the Post, Steele’s research was for a firm that had been hired by Hillary Clinton supporters, and the FBI knew it. (The FBI deal with Steele eventually fell through, and he received no money.)

“The idea that the FBI and associ-ates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for president in the run-up to the election raises fur-ther questions about the FBI’s inde-pendence from politics, as well as the Obama administration’s use of law

LETTERS POLICY

When it comes to water availability in Tooele County, especially irriga-tion water for agricultural and residential use, what a difference a year or two can make.

Just a year ago, all of Tooele County was in the grips of a D2 or “severe drought,” according to the National Weather Service’s U.S. Drought Monitor, and had the unwanted title of being the worst drought-stricken county in the state. Along with that title were a series of drought disaster designations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 2013 thru 2015.

The dry-as-a-bone moniker continued well into last year, even though Tooele City’s precipitation water-year level by the end of April 2016 was 12.53 inches — slightly ahead of a normal 12.19 inches.

Contributing to the persistent drought status were parched soil profiles caused by successive years of hyper dry conditions, the worst of which was the winter of 2014-15. By the end of April 2015, local mountains had no reportable snowpack at snow/water measuring stations, Tooele City’s total precipitation was over six inches behind normal, and the county’s dryness level was at D3 (extreme drought) by the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Understandably, water restrictions were immediately enforced when Settlement Canyon Irrigation Company turned water into its delivery sys-tem in May 2015 — nearly one month later than usual. Tooele City also continued its annual summer water restriction schedule to preserve avail-able city water supplies and keep residents consistent with year-to-year conservation practices.

But here we are two years later, and things have markedly changed. Although the first month of the 2016-17 water year, which began Oct. 1, ended in the red, a series of storms in November began to pile deep snowpack onto local mountains and drench Tooele City with above nor-mal precipitation.

The good weather energy continued December through this spring. Things were so wet, by the second week of March the U.S. Drought Monitor dropped Tooele County from its drought radar. And at the end of April, Tooele City’s precipitation level for the water year stood at 30 per-cent above normal at 16.39 inches. With one week to go before Memorial Day, snowpack remains in local mountains and the county’s three reser-voirs are to the brim simultaneously for the first time in years.

Tooele County’s distinction as being the worst drought-hit area in the state, with consecutive federal disaster declarations for agriculture, is apparently over. With the welcome abundance of moisture, it appears everyone can indulge in unrestricted irrigation water use this summer.

But how long will it last?With that question in mind, everyone is urged to remember that

Tooele County is mostly a desert area in which limited rain and snowfall are often the norm, not the exception. Extended periods of dryness or drought — not excess moisture — are likely to occur again.

Which is why local efforts to educate and encourage frugal water use shouldn’t be shelved, or even worse, forgotten just because everything now is green and lush, and there’s still snowpack in the mountains. Local officials and residents are reminded that, when it comes to water avail-ability in Tooele County, there are times of brief abundance often domi-nated by prolonged scarcity. Careful stewardship of local water resources should always be a priority concern.

May 22-26, 2017 marks the first-ever Rural Health Week and Mountain West Medical

Center joins community hospitals and caregivers across the nation to high-light the positive impact we have on the patients we care for and the com-munities we serve.

When you hear rural community, you may think small town. However, when combining the population of areas like ours across the country, it equals nearly 60 million people, or one in five Americans. At the heart of many of those communities is the local hospital.

The obvious benefit that a hospital like ours provides is also our most vital: timely access to health care. Whether you need emergency treat-ment or need a routine procedure, providing local access to care is essen-tial. When time matters most, having access to essential health care can mean the difference between life and

death. The impact that rural hospitals

make on their communities extends far beyond medical capabilities. In many rural areas, the hospital is the largest or second largest employer in the area it serves. MWMC takes pride in supporting our local economy by being the 4th largest employer in Tooele County.

Health care works best when it is local, working specifically to solve issues that are important and relevant to the community. MWMC has served the Tooele County area since 2002. During that time, we have helped people receive care, provided 24/7 emergency services and delivered lots

of babies — all thanks to the never-ending commitment of our clinical and support staff. We are honored to have a staff of dedicated individuals who see health care not only as a job, but a personal calling.

Rural hospitals are vital to keep-ing a community physically and fiscally healthy. The goal of Rural Health Week is to raise awareness about our impact nationwide. We want to spread the word about the importance of rural health care to our friends and family in larger cities and our elected officials in Congress. You can help by joining the conver-sation on social media. Tell people what your hospital means to you and then use #StandUp4RuralHospitals. Working together, small towns can make a big impact on the future of health care.

Phil Eaton is the CEO of Mountain West Medical Center in Tooele City.

GUEST OPINION

Are you ready for President Mike Pence?

There’s enough out there now about President Donald Trump that mentioning a President Pence isn’t all that unreasonable.

There’s a drumbeat now, sending tingles up and down Democratic legs — and Republican Never-Trumper legs — and other sensations through America’s turgid Twitter thumbs.

The New York Times is all but accusing Trump of obstruc-tion of justice in the FBI inves-tigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, with Democrats calling for impeachment proceedings.

The Washington Post has tagged Trump at best a bum-bler, impulsively dishing out classified information on ISIS to the Russians.

Trump’s credibility is in tatters just as he planned to make his first foreign trip, and now Washington is a hot mess, amplified by the social media echo chamber and the raven-ous appetites of cable news.

Given Trump’s animosity toward the Washington estab-

lishment, and their absolute loathing of Trump and his working-class voters, there’s also the smell of blood on the floor.

But with all the shrieking and screaming, and partisan dancing, I’d like to suggest something:

Take a few steps back, America. That’s right. Take a few steps back.

Get yourself a pocket copy of the Constitution and hold on.

It might be comforting to blow it all off as partisan poli-tics, or run with your partisan pack and howl at the orange moon. Politics is at play, yes, and agendas are everywhere, and hypocrisy is the water of life in Washington, but these are serious stories that are draped across Trump’s neck.

Allegations of obstruction of justice are serious, and compulsively giving up classi-fied intelligence is also quite

serious. And they deserve your serious consideration.

But whether you voted for him or you hate him, and tens of millions of Americans did one or the other in November, remember this about the presi-dent.

Trump won’t be hanged by the morning.

He might even make it to next week.

Still, The New York Times story about former FBI Director James Comey and Trump is the kind of thing that bleeds an administration dry.

The Times, through sources, reports on a memo Comey apparently wrote before Trump fired him, about a conversation he had with the president in the Oval Office in February.

It was about Michael Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser, who is under investi-gation by the FBI.

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Trump told Comey, according to the Times story on the memo. “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.”

There’s only one thing

wrong with the story far as I can tell. The New York Times didn’t print a copy of the Comey memo.

It has sources who read the memo. These could be other FBI agents or Comey himself, or his lawyers. And given it comes out of Washington, is it possible there could be a politi-cal agenda here?

We really don’t know what Comey said or wrote or thought. We know the Trump White House denies it all. But that’s today. The president might tweet out something else in the morning.

You can make the begin-nings of an obstruction of jus-tice case with that one. Trump helped the Democratic narra-tive with his recent interview with NBC about his decision to fire Comey.

“Regardless of recommenda-tion I was going to fire Comey, knowing, there was no good time to do it,” Trump told NBC. “And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It’s an excuse by the Democrats for hav-

ing lost an election that they should have won.”

The Russians didn’t cost Hillary Clinton the election. Hillary was doomed months before any alleged Russian interference or hacking of Democratic email.

She was the establishment candidate in the year of insur-gency, and the Democrats, the party of the state, still can’t deal with it.

“The White House said it didn’t happen and I think they need to come forward with whatever evidence they have,” said Sen. Angus King, of Maine, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats.

“If it’s a tape, now’s the time,” King told CNN. “If it’s contemporaneous notes, if there was someone else in the room that took notes, if the president wrote a memo after-ward about what was said in that meeting, we need to have that before us.”

He’s absolutely correct. But my guess is that Trump doesn’t write memos after he leverages somebody to do what he wants done. It’s all muscle with him.

And memos are a

Washington thing, something that clerks and lawyers do to cover their flanks. And appar-ently, Comey’s flanks are cov-ered, but until we actually read the memo, until Comey testi-fies under oath as to the nature of their conversation, we just don’t know.

“There’s a reason why newspaper articles are not admissible in any courtroom in the United States, Republican U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy said on Fox News. “I’m not knock-ing the reporter. The reporter does good work. But we’re a long ways from a conviction, the fact that we simply have a headline in The New York Times.”

Comey will, and should, testify before Congress. And every American should be able to read the memo and hear his testimony.

But headlines do have a way of driving a herd, don’t they?

enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends,” Grassley wrote in his letter to Comey.

Washington institutions constantly seek to get maxi-mum mileage out of an issue by politicizing it and creat-ing a long-term bogeyman. The same committees now probing purported Russian meddling in the democratic process had attempted to make Russia a scapegoat long before the election. In May 2016, before Trump had won the Republican nomination, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence referred to the importance of “checking increasing Russian aggression” in a report recom-mending the authorization of the 2017 intelligence budget.

Two weeks after Trump won the election, the actual bill to authorize intelligence funding included the creation of a com-mittee dedicated to combating “active measures by Russia to

exert covert influence.”We have yet to see credible

technical evidence of Russian interference in the U.S. elec-tion, yet an entire section in a budget bill was devoted to the issue? What did clearly exist in the aftermath of the elec-tion, however, was the kind of murky pretext that helps justify perpetual spending. “Russian interference” is the national-security version of “climate change.”

All of this Russia probing doesn’t seem like a means to an end so much as an end unto itself. As long as the bogeyman exists, the money keeps flow-ing and the establishment is happy. It’s when Trump does something to stop the charade — in this case, firing an estab-lishment figure like Comey — that the establishment swamp critters start screaming for their lives.

offense.As a practical matter,

though, nothing will hap-pen until a majority of the House decides on bringing a bill of impeachment. Which means that 23 Republicans would have to join with House Democrats to put enough pres-sure on the Speaker of the House to allow such a bill to be considered.

The odds of this occurring in this Congress, under present circumstances, are approxi-mately zero.

So, barring a “smoking gun” that shows Trump’s complic-ity with Russian operatives in interfering in the 2016 elec-tion, Trump’s fate seems to hinge on the midterm elections of 2018.

Those elections are less

than 18 months away. That’s a long time in American politics. Under a Trump presidency, it’s an eternity.

But there’s another possibil-ity.

In my experience, most elected politicians have two goals: to do what they consider to be the right things for the American public, and to be re-elected (not necessarily in that order).

If Trump’s poll numbers continue to plummet — par-ticularly among Republicans and Independents — 23 House Republicans may well decide their chances for being re-elected are better if they abandon him before the 2018 midterms.

House Speaker Paul Ryan and the House Republican leadership might make a simi-lar calculation, at least enough to put a bill of impeachment on the table.

Most House Republicans

prefer Vice President Mike Pence to Trump anyway. As one said to me several months ago: “Pence is a predictable conservative. Trump is an unpredictable egomaniac. Most of us are more comfortable with the former.”

There’s a good chance Trump’s poll numbers will con-tinue to fall. First, he’s proven to be his own worst enemy. Even when things are going reasonably well, he seems bizarrely intent on stirring controversy — and on saying or tweeting things that get him into trouble.

There’s also a matter of the economy. The expansion that began in 2009 is getting long in the tooth. If history is any guide, we’re due for a slowdown or recession. And justified or not, presidents get blamed when Americans lose jobs.

Trump doesn’t have the character or the temperament

to be president of the United States. But this obvious fact isn’t enough to get him fired.

He’ll be fired when enough Americans decide they can’t abide him anymore.

Then, maybe in an impeach-ment proceeding, it will come out that Trump did something incredibly stupid — like give a nod of approval to one of his campaign bottom feeders to tell a Russian operative to go ahead with their plan to inter-fere in the 2016 election.

The House impeaches. The Senate convicts. That’s the end of Trump.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP)—The mountain ski town of Park City recently became the first Utah city to ban plastic bags.

The Deseret News reports that the Park City council voted unanimously last week to enact the ban.

Starting in June, the three large grocery stores in town won’t be able to have the razor-thin plastic bags commonly used, which supporters said will help cut down on trash in the community and reduce jams on recycling equipment.

Park City now joins 230 municipalities across the coun-try, including Honolulu, San Francisco and Seattle, that have bans on plastic bags.

The stores subjected to the ban said they’ll comply but feel unfairly targeted because the new rule only affects grocery stores over 12,000 square feet within Park City’s jurisdic-tion, including The Market at Park City, Rite Aid and Fresh Market.

The Market’s grocery man-ager, Rush Hotchkiss, said the ban will mean increased costs for doing business, as paper bags cost 10 cents each com-pared with a half-cent per plas-tic bag. Competitors including Smith’s and Wal-Mart won’t be affected even though they’re just minutes away, because the chain stores are actually

located at Kimball Junction, which is in Summit County’s jurisdiction.

“Hopefully this doesn’t dis-courage our customers from shopping here,” Hotchkiss said.

Rite Aid’s assistant manager Henry Paras also said he’s disappointed that his store is among those singled out. “I guess we’ll just need to deal with it,” Paras said.

Park City officials said they’ve been mulling a plastic bag ban since 2008, even con-sidering a city-wide ban before settling on this one specifically for grocery stores.

A larger ban would have actually been easier to swal-low, Hotchkiss said.

“We would have preferred it to be for all the stores, but we’re OK with it,” Hotchkiss said. “We’re more than willing to work with the community on what they want to do. So we’ll just follow along with it and see how it goes.”

Meanwhile, local shoppers and environmentalists said they’re happy for the change.

Eileen Kitner of Park City said she’s been using reusable bags for several years and that the ban was the right thing to do for the community.

“Park City should be a leader in how we deal with our envi-ronment,” Kitner said. “Our environment is our economy.”

Tooele County has a new royalty who wants to inspire students and residents to be fit, active and consume dairy.

Tiffanee Bird, the county’s 2017 Dairy Princess, was crowned Thursday at the annual scholarship pageant alongside her two co-atten-dants, Emma Wardle and Katie Robinson.

Cheryl Adams, who has directed the Dairy Princess Pageant for 17 years and has been involved for 30, said the nine contestants “were very

strong competitors. It was amazing to me to see what these girls had accomplished in the last few years of their high school.”

Bird is a Tooele High School senior and will graduate this week. Her dairy platform titled “Build your Body,” focused on the nutrients dairy offers each part of the body. Bird plans to attend Utah State University in the fall and major in the medi-cal field.

Wardle, a junior at THS, used “Just Moo It” for her platform, which encourages milk consumption for energy and building and maintaining muscle. She plans to attend the University of Utah and become a registered nurse. Wardle is excited to serve the community and educate people about the health benefits of milk.

Robinson is a sophomore at Brigham Young University and is studying exercise science and wants to work in a physi-cal therapy office. Her key message, “Let’s Get Crazy for Chocolate Dairy” focuses on the “superior nature of choco-late milk as a recovery drink.”

Robinson canvassed her Tooele neighborhood asking neighbor kids whether they thought common sports drinks were better for exercise recov-ery than chocolate milk. She said few kids knew that choco-late milk was superior.

“I’m excited to get into the schools and interact with the students,” she said. “Developing healthy habits is so important because healthy habits create a healthy life-style.”[email protected]

MATTERS OF FAITH

Editor’s note: “Matters of faith” is a column that provides local religious leaders a place to write about how their respective faiths provide hope, courage and strength in these modern times.

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

Last week, as dozens of Tooele High seniors received nearly $250,000

in scholarships, two thoughts popped into my mind:

1.) Tooele’s education sys-tem produces more than its fair share of sharp, energetic, smart kids and,

2.) I hope they sincerely appreciate their scholarships and capitalize on these educa-tional opportunities.

Toward the end of the pro-gram, one of the high school counselors turned to the schol-ars and strongly encouraged them to write thank-you letters to the businesses, foundations, and/or colleges that awarded them their scholarship.

As I left the auditorium, I was approached by a young lady who received a scholar-ship from the Barrick Mercur Mine Foundation.

I could tell from her eyes that her heart was full of grati-tude toward our foundation for giving her an opportunity

to attend college and chase her dreams.

Several feet through the crowd, her two parents visually expressed their appreciation for opening a door that pro-vides their daughter a chance to further her education.

To a smaller degree, this young lady reminded me of the experience of Jesus cleansing 10 lepers.

At one point during his min-istry, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee.

As he entered a village. 10 men with leprosy approached him and from a distance shout-ed, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”

The Savior clearly directed them to visit the priests and miraculously He cleansed them of the dreaded disease

However, one of them returned to Jesus, glorified God, and expressed gratitude.

The Lord responded by teaching all of us this eternal lesson about gratitude: “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?”

The Swedish philosopher

and poet Henri Frederic Amiel wrote, “Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is completion of thankfulness.”

He added, “Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.”

President Gordon B. Hinckley perched “Be grateful” at the top of his now familiar “Be list” that he shared with youth of the LDS Church back in 2001.

He encouraged the youth to “Walk with gratitude in your hearts ... Be thankful for the wonderful blessings which are yours. Be grateful for the tremendous opportunities that you have.”

All of us are better off when we follow this counsel.

Do we say “thank you” as a matter of habit rather than as an expression of sincere grati-tude?

When we offer prayers at the dinner table, do the words habitually roll off our tongue with no thought of Him who provides our substance?

When prompted by the Spirit to take a specific course of action, do we later say to ourselves, “I am sure glad I thought of that.”

As the school year closes and spring brings forth her bounteous beauties, I believe it is a perfect time to reflect upon our blessings and remember the importance of expressing and showing gratitude to the One who gave us all.

executive duties with a county council with legislative respon-sibilities and either an elected executive or a county manager hired by the council to carry out executive functions.

Gordon Beals, a former candidate for Tooele County Commission and a current county employee, told the study committee that he col-lected signatures for the peti-tion that placed the formation of a study committee on last November’s ballot.

“I don’t think three people, all from cities, can manage unincorporated areas of the county as well as they could if they lived in that part of the county,” he said. “Expand the commission by districts to get a commission that represents the people. There is just too much work for three commissioners to do.”

Elliot Lawrence of Grantsville said he voted for the county government study because looking for ways to improve is a good idea.

“The choices come down to either a county executive or county manager,” he said. “The three-member commission is past its defensible point. It was set up when counties didn’t do that much. Its usefulness has been done away with.”

However, Lawrence was not excited about an elected county executive.

“I don’t like another elected office,” he said. “The county manager hired by the council with a seven member council would provide better represen-tation, but the districts would have to be equal in popula-tion.”

Lawrence suggested at least four council members should be elected by districts and with three council members to be

elected at large.Mary Salazar of Grantsville

said her concern is that the lower socioeconomic popu-lation is growing in Tooele County and they are not repre-sented.

Eric Johnsen of Grantsville said he is concerned about the cost of a larger county com-mission.

“Can we afford much of a change?” asked Johnsen. “My property tax is equal to the payment for a luxury car per month and I don’t get a luxury car’s worth of services from the county.”

Richard Mitchell, chairman of the study committee, said that the committee will look at the economic impact of any change in the form of the county’s government.

“Right now the county has a budget of around $400,000 for administration, which includes the commissioners’ salaries, benefits, and their other pay-roll expenses,” he said.

In the council/executive and the council/manager forms of government, the council mem-bers could be a part-time posi-tion, according to Mitchell.

This was the first public input meeting the study com-mittee has held, more meetings will be held in other communi-ties and more meetings will be held after the study committee gets near a decision on what to recommend, said Brenda Faddis, a study committee member.

“We will be back,” she said.The study committee must

issue a written report on or before February 2018 with a recommendation on whether or not the county’s current three-member commission form of government should be retained or changed to a differ-ent [email protected]

SANDY, Utah (AP)—As Utah Republicans met for their annual state convention Saturday, the party faithful both gave Rep. Jason Chaffetz a warm send-off and occasionally expressed dis-appointment at his abrupt depar-ture from Congress and key role investigating the White House.

Chaffetz, known for his hard-charging investigations of Hillary Clinton and his frequent appear-ances on cable news, announced Thursday that he was resigning June 30, just as his commit-tee was poised to investigate President Donald Trump’s firing of FBI director James Comey.

The five-term, 50-year-old congressman described the deci-sion as a reaction to a mid-life crisis and desire to spend more time with his family.

The move shocked political junkies in Washington, where Chaffetz’s profile was soaring, but also those back in Utah like Dianne Carr.

A retired registered dietitian from Springville, Utah, Carr just voted Chaffetz into a new term in last November and said his early departure was “a little inappro-priate.”

“He really probably should step forth and tell us what’s going on. I mean, I first thought he was probably going to run for senator, but the other rumor is he’s going to be on Fox News. He’s been on it a lot,” she said at the convention in Sandy, Utah.

Chaffetz has declined to say what his next move will be but has said in the past he’s inter-ested in running for Utah gover-nor—an office that isn’t up for election until 2020.

Carr said a February town hall meeting where Chaffetz was drowned out by boos of those demanding he investigate Trump was “really nasty,” but “he doesn’t seem like the guy who would go out because of that. He’s a pretty tough guy.”

Chaffetz appeared briefly at the event Saturday, watch-ing in the wings as the party played a video tribute to him that included clips of the con-gressman issuing subpoenas as House oversight chairman and leg wrestling on the floor with comedian Stephen Colbert in a bit for Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.”

The congressman, recover-ing from a recent foot surgery, used a scooter to make his way to the stage, where the crowd greeted him with a standing ova-tion. Standing in front of a large American flag with his wife at

his side, he gave an emotional goodbye speech.

“When I go after something, I go after it with everything I can possibly go with. But there does come that point when you’ve got to make some choices,” Chaffetz said, with his voice catching a bit. “In my hierarchy of needs, the thing that really matters the most is my family.”

Chaffetz said one of his greatest achievements was using his oversight role to help expose scandals with Clinton’s email, the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi and the Secret Service—a list of investigations that drew applause from the audience.

Earlier in the day, as Republicans representing all corners of Utah mingled with politicians at campaign booths decked in banners, Chaffetz’s booth in the center of the room was strikingly bare, with the politician himself missing most of the morning. Several members of his staff gave away hundreds of leftover Chaffetz T-shirts, but-tons, fleece vests and other gear left over from past campaigns.

“I wish he would stay,” Brent Holdaway, a 64-year-old trucking company owner from Pleasant Grove, told the staffers as he picked up a Chaffetz campaign shirt.

Holdaway voted for Chaffetz but says he would have liked to see the congressman investigate Clinton further and stay in office a little longer.

“For him to pull out is a disap-pointment. But I understand he’s got a life,” Holdaway said.

Lisa Morrise, a 59-year-old patient advocate from Salt Lake City, said she believes Chaffetz when he says his decision is all about his family.

“I understand the need to put family first. There are just times when that becomes important,” Morrise said. “I’m very disap-pointed, though, that any of our representatives would leave in the middle of their term.”

Zeb Dalton, a rancher from Blanding, in southern Utah, said he appreciates Chaffetz’s efforts to fight Utah’s new Bears Ears National Monument, which envelopes land where Dalton runs his cattle.

“I wish he would stay,” Dalton said. “I don’t know all of his rea-sons, but he’s done a good job.”

Still, Dalton said that if Chaffetz runs for office again, he’ll support him, but “I would want a commitment from him to finish out his term.”

law enforcement and military,” Fishbeck said. “People talk about it all year long.”

Competing in his second Top Shot, Dugway Proving Ground Commander Col. Sean Kirschner said he was more confident heading into this year’s competition. He praised the effort by Dugway police for putting on the event and the improved course.

“It’s a great community event and we’re happy to host it,” Kirschner said. ‘It’s just going to get better and better every year, just like it did this year.”

Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs Officer James Saylor said Top Shot was his first time watching a three-gun competi-tion, so he wanted to watch and get a feel for it. He said he plans to compete next year if he has the opportunity.

“So far, I’m really impressed,

it seems very legitimate,” Saylor said. “I was kind of expecting it to be a little Podunk thing but I got out here and saw all the tents and vendors. They do a really good job.”

The overall champion for the three-gun competition was Sandy City Police Department Lt. Greg Severson, with a time of 130.11 seconds. The military champion was Ethen Malcolm with the Utah Army National Guard with 153.57 seconds and Kurt Malcolm with Dugway Proving Ground Special Programs Division claimed the civilian competi-tion in 185.12 seconds.

Ethen Malcolm also claimed the fastest time on the rifle range at 28 seconds, while Salt Lake City Police Officer Jeffrey Denning was quickest on the shotgun range at 12.77 seconds. Sandy City Police Sgt. Curtis Robertson won the pistol competition in 33.57 [email protected]

TOOELE

SANDY, Utah (AP)—Utah Republicans ousted their two-term state party chair and rejected a proposal to endorse medical marijuana at the party’s annual convention Saturday.

The group of about 2,200 core GOP members elevated a county party leader who promised to tackle the party’s financial issues following a divisive legal battle.

Rob Anderson has been critical of Republican leaders’ handling of a contentious law changing how political parties nominate candidates.

Anderson, who served as Davis County party chair, will replace James Evans. He lost his bid for an unusual third term in the first round of vot-

ing after waging a legal battle over the 2014 nominating law.

Under his leadership, the party sued the state, arguing the law unconstitutionally dictated to the GOP, a private organization, how they should pick their candidates. A fed-eral judge ruled against the GOP but the party is appeal-ing to a federal appeals court in Denver.

Anderson wants to drop the fight and move on.

The convention delegates also soundly rejected a pro-posal to endorse medical mar-ijuana, with 70 percent voting against the idea following a spirited debate.

Supporters argued the drug can have life-changing effects for patients. Opponents said

it hasn’t been fully vetted and expressed concern that allow-ing medical use could lead to full legalization.

The cause has been embraced by the party’s lib-eral wing, but conservative leaders have balked. Utah’s Republican governor and GOP-dominated Legislature have rejected plans to pass a medical marijuana law for three years in a row.

The party’s annual conven-tion gives Utah’s governor, congressional delegation and other top officials a chance to speak to party activists and longtime loyalists in front of a packed exhibition hall and in more intimate encounters as Republicans mingle with elected officials at their offi-

cial campaign booths.U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz

became emotional as he gave his final convention address as a congressman. The chair of the House Oversight Committee highlighted his investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, among other things.

Chaffetz announced Thursday that he’ll resign on June 30 to spend more time with his family.

The names of Republicans jockeying to replace him were plastered around the expo center in Sandy as candidates hoped to stand out from the crowd of at least half a dozen potential GOP candidates in a special election later this year.

SPRING SPORTS

Grantsville High wrapped up its 2016-17 school year with an exclamation point when the

Cowboys won the state softball champi-onship on Saturday — the second state title in program history and first since 1998.

It was the perfect cap to a stellar spring for the Cowboys, as senior Gavin Eyre also brought home a state title in the javelin from the state track and field meet.

The boys tennis team finished third in region and had a strong showing at the state tournament, led by freshman Porter Whitworth’s semifinal appear-ance.

The baseball team also finished third in region, but came on strong at the end of the season and very nearly pulled off an upset at the state tournament.

The girls golf team didn’t advance to the state tournament, but showed signs of improvement throughout the season. So, too, did the boys soccer team, which just missed out on postseason play but should be a threat in the revamped Class 3A come next spring.

Chalk TalkBy Ed Dalton

The school bells will soon be silenced as school ends for summer vacation. TEF observes that students are working really hard to learn. We also recognize the chal-lenge to retain knowledge and skills over the summer break. One objective of the education family is to help students reach a point where they learn because they want to, not because they have to. Summer is a time to enrich learning.

Children can lose up to three months of academic progress over the summer. Many years of research continually show this trend. Summer is a great time to increase learning, not let it slip. The learning may take a different form than regular school. That’s actually good. Here are several tips to help avoid the “summer slide”.

Read as much as you can. Research shows that reading just six books during the summer may keep a strug-gling reader from regress-ing. Take advantage of your local library. Encourage your child to take advantage of every opportunity to read. Read unusual things like

maps, the newspaper, and good magazines. Reading ��and teens, especially those who struggle.

Cook with your children.This is one of the best ways to integrate math, reading and following directions.Let your child design the menu too! Help your child put together their favorite recipes in a cookbook.Cookbooks can even be fun. Then cook – that’s good science.

Plant a garden. Your child will gain responsibility and pride as they watch their plants grow and thrive.��-

seum, zoo or local park with walkingtrails.

Learnwhile on a vaca-tion. New places,history, geog-raphy,

plants, animals, etc. all make ingredients for vacation learning. While you are at it, take pictures and make a summer scrapbook.��

that Tooele Valley and the County offer hundreds of learning experiences, short ��-gy, collecting. Well, you name it, we’ve got it. All one needs to do is wonder about something, inquire, and you’ll never suffer the “summer slide”.

Just like with playing a sport, reading and math are skills that must be prac-ticed. Work with children to keep practicing things they learned during the school year. Yes! It is important to keep your child’s mind engaged over the summer so they will not fall victim to the “summer slide”.

Blue Peak.“I was a little nervous at first,”

Meacham said. “But I am glad I came or I wouldn’t be graduat-ing today.”

Meacham completed her high school graduation requirements early and has been taking classes at Tooele Applied Technology College since January.

“Blue Peak is not for kids in trouble,” Meacham said. “It is for kids that want a second chance.”

Theresa Carmago came to Blue Peak High School after dropping out of her high school in tenth grade.

“I got behind and my teachers just kept teaching and I got far-ther behind,” she said.

Carmago said she tried Adult Education classes and worked for a while before she started at Blue Peak in eleventh grade.

“There was a time when I thought I would never gradu-ate,” Carmago said. “But look at me now. I’ve never been happier. I’m glad I came to this school where teachers never doubt you.”

Hailey Monosso told the rest of the graduating seniors that it is now time to become who they want to be.

“This is the beginning of our lives and we can do anything

we want with it,” Monosso said. “We have no more homework, school, or teachers. ... This is your life. Now take a hold of it and get ready for the fun ride ahead.”

Bryce Eardley addressed his last graduating class of seniors as principal of Blue Peak High School.

Eardley, who has been the principal of Blue Peak since the fall of 2014, is the school district’s new director of Tooele City area schools.

“I can’t wait to see and hear about the incredible things you will do, because I can already see the incredible people that you are,” he said. “Trust your

instincts. Trust your passions. Trust your empathy for others and trust your love.”

Julie Ernst, Blue Peak High School counselor, also addressed the graduating seniors to say farewell to them — and to the school.

Ernst, who has been a coun-selor at Blue Peak High and its

predecessor for 10 years, will be the head counselor at Tooele High School this fall.

“Don’t see yourself in the eyes of others that don’t believe in you,” Ernst said. “Don’t be afraid of failure. It is not a problem to make mistakes. If you are afraid of failure, you can’t do the things you need to be successful.”

Ernst ended her comments by playing “See You Again” from the movie “Furious 7” on the piano.

Blue Peak High School’s grad-uation was the first in a week full of graduation ceremonies for Tooele County School District.

Dugway High School’s gradu-ation is scheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. in its auditorium and Wendover High School’s gradu-

ation will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Peppermill Concert Hall.

Stansbury, Tooele and Grantsville High schools will hold their graduations on Thursday at the University of Utah’s Jon M. Huntsman Center at 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7 p.m., respectively.

Tooele County School District’s Adult Education pro-gram will hold a graduation cer-emony on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in the Blue Peak High School gym.

Blue Peak High School, with an enrollment of 100 students, is the school district’s alternative high school. It is located at the Community Learning Center in Tooele [email protected]

those who don’t have faith in themselves to the point they may want to end their lives.”

Other speakers included two people whose children ended their lives. The par-ents are now leaders at Life’s Worth Living Foundation.

The parents said they thought there was no way suicide would ever affect their families.

“The thing we need to get out is that anyone may need help,” said Barbara Hansen. “We need to be there as a community, as neighbors, as friends and as church mem-bers. We need them to know that life is worth living.”

She mentioned that the mission of Jesus Christ was to fill people with hope and to make them believe in life.

Thatcher referred to an event in St. George where a young man contemplated sui-cide. As he texted his mother, he noticed the SafeUT app on his phone. He remem-bered he had promised his LDS bishop to use the app if he needed help. After using the app, the youth decided against suicide.

“Most suicide attempts occur 15 minutes after the thought of suicide. If people can get help within those 15 minutes, a tragedy can be avoided,” Thatcher said. The SafeUT app connects users with a crisis and tip hotline.

“The top button on this app will connect you with a licensed clinical social worker 24/7,” Thatcher said. He also anticipates a nationwide 611 phone number will soon be available in case of mental health emergencies — a num-ber similar to 911.

John Gossett, a co-founder of Life’s Worth Living, also spoke. He referred to John 15:12: “This is my command-ment, that ye love one anoth-er, as I have loved you.”

Also, Galatians 6:2: “Bear

ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

He said the way the world works today, to make our-selves feel good, we bring others down. “And that’s the way bullying starts,” Gossett added.

He said the three-fold mis-sion of Life’s Worth Living is to raise awareness, educate and prevent suicide.

“We do a lot of public speaking, not that we like it, but it is part of the pro-cess to raise awareness,” Gossett said. “We go into church groups, businesses and to anyone in need. We’ve brought in professional ath-letes to speak and those who have dealt with the conse-quences of suicide. We also try to make people aware of QPR meetings.”

QPR stands for Question a person about suicide, Persuade the person to get help, and Refer the person to the appropriate resource.

Gossett expressed grati-tude to Thatcher for his hard work on suicide prevention and for attending events sponsored by Life’s Worth Living Foundation.

“We dragged him to Wendover for our Walk to Wendover and he came out for an event at midnight in Tooele,” Gossett said.

“When you go to our website there are plenty of resources,” he explained. Pamphlets were handed out to those in attendance that listed suicide warning signs and how people can help.

Gossett mentioned that donations are always wel-come, and no one at Life’s Worth Living is paid.

He also said suicide sup-port group meetings are held the fourth Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. at Mountain West Medical Center.

Life’s Worth Living’s phone number is 435-248-LIVE (5483). The foundation’s website is [email protected]

DARREN VAUGHANSPORTS EDITOR

The Grantsville softball team has been among the elite programs in Class 3A for years, but didn’t have the champion-ship trophy to show for it.

That all changed Saturday afternoon at the Spanish Fork Sports Park, as the Cowboys rode three home runs to a 7-4 win over Bear River in the championship game of the Class 3A state softball tourna-ment to win their first state title since 1998.

“It’s unbelievable,” Grantsville senior Reannon Justice said. “It means a lot. All of the hard work we’ve done at practice has really paid off and it shows.”

Grantsville (25-5) took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and led the rest of the way, though the game wasn’t without its dramatic moments, thanks to a pair of Bear River home runs that kept the Bears (25-6) within striking distance. But the pressure never seemed to rattle the Cowboys, as the relaxed atmosphere that sur-rounded the team all season carried right through to the final game.

“I’m just so happy for them,” Cowboys coach Heidi Taylor said. “I hope they know that anything they put their minds to, they can achieve. That was the ultimate thing — having fun and achieving greatness.”

Despite struggling in recent years at the state tournament, Grantsville appeared more composed than the defending state champion Bears in the early part of the game. The Cowboys loaded the bases in the first inning against Bear River pitcher Kapri Toone with the help of a throwing error, and Maizie Clark scored the game’s first run on a ground-out by Kylee Leach. Addison Smith followed with a base hit to shallow right-center field to score Brayle Crosman with an unearned run to make it 2-0.

Toone cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single that scored Mercedes Call, but Grantsville scraped together another run in the second as the product of another Bear River error on a ground ball by Crosman, allowing Maddison Peterson to score as the throw from Bears shortstop Lynsey Valverde eluded first baseman Abby Giles. Giles recovered in time

to throw out Alese Casper as she attempted to score all the way from first base, but

the damage had already been done.

Even having Casper tagged

out at home plate on a some-what controversial call that was reversed twice didn’t seem to rattle the Cowboys. Crosman could be seen danc-ing as she waited near first base while Taylor discussed the call with the umpires.

“We just love to have fun, and that’s the biggest reason we don’t get rattled,” Casper said. “We love to tell jokes, we dance in the dugout — it’s so much fun.

“We had to make sure we kept our composure,” she added. “We’d always talk between innings about what

THE COWBOYS ARE CHAMPIONS!

In a world where the win-at-all-costs mentality is working its way into even

the lowest levels of sports, the Grantsville softball team is a breath of fresh air.

The Cowboys showed that it is possible to win and still have fun doing it. They dealt with high-pressure situations in crucial games by acting like there was no pressure at all.

How do you cope with a controversial call in a state championship game? A dance-off, of course. It seemed to work for Grantsville seniors Brayle Crosman and Reannon Justice on Saturday during a delay after teammate Alese Casper was called out, then safe, then out again on a play at the plate.

Meetings in the pitcher’s circle never ended without smiles all around — not even with two runners on, two outs and the tying run com-ing to the plate in the form of one of Class 3A’s best play-ers in the bottom of the sev-enth inning of the state title game. Grantsville gathered in the circle shortly after Casper got Bear River’s Dacia Hobbs to fly out to shortstop Hannah Butler, discussing how to handle Bears star Kapri Toone. Whatever was

we needed to do, and we kept up the energy in the dugout. The energy was the game-changer for us.”

Giles scored on an RBI single by Call in the bottom of the third to close the gap to 3-2, but that’s when Grantsville started to show off its power. Sophomore Hannah Butler led off the top of the fourth with a home run to left field on the first pitch of the inning to make it 4-2.

“This is a feeling that I always wanted these girls to experience, because there’s nothing like it,” Taylor said. “Now that the younger girls have had a taste of it, they can strive for that in their futures.”

Valverde homered for Bear River in the bottom of the fifth to make it 4-3, but Grantsville had another answer in the top of the sixth as Smith crushed another home run deep over the fence in left-center to lead off the inning. Dacia Hobbs led off the bottom of the sixth with a home run off Casper to make it 5-4.

That’s when Crosman struck the final blow for Grantsville. With one out in the top of the seventh and Casper standing on second base after a leadoff single and a sacrifice bunt by Clark, Crosman crushed the first pitch she saw from Toone over the right-center field

fence, giving her team a three-run lead and sending her on an emotional trip around the bases.

“I knew [Toone] was going to keep us outside the whole time — I knew it was going to be an outside pitch,” Crosman said. “Coach Taylor, before I even went up there, said, ‘hit the Guzzle banner,’ because that’s where the Guzzle ban-

ner is at home, so I just hit it over the Guzzle banner. I cried. I didn’t know what else to do besides cry. All those years you’ve played, from coach pitch to your last year of high school softball, the last fastpitch game you’re ever going to play, all of that was for a reason. All of it was for this team and these people.”

The drama wasn’t quite

over. Bear River’s Kati Gibbs led off the bottom of the sev-enth with a single and Taylor Fox’s base hit gave the Bears runners on the corners with one out. But Casper got Hobbs to fly out to Butler at short-stop, and when Toone’s pop fly landed safely in Smith’s glove near the right-field foul line, the Cowboys poured out of their dugout to celebrate their first state championship since before any of their players were born.

“It doesn’t feel real yet,” Grantsville senior Breanna Dzierzon said. “This was my last game. I’m not going to play softball anymore, so it’s fun to end it this way.”

Saturday’s victory capped a masterful state tournament for the Cowboys in which they outscored their oppo-nents 29-7 in five games. They opened the tournament with a 12-2 win over Juan Diego at home the previous weekend, and they added a 5-0 win over Desert Hills in Thursday’s second-round game. A thrilling 1-0 win over Bear River on Friday morning in a pitcher’s duel between Casper and Toone guaranteed the Cowboys of a top-three fin-ish, and they advanced to the championship game with a 4-1 win over Ridgeline on Friday afternoon. Bear River then beat Ridgeline 3-2 on Saturday morning to get to the champi-onship [email protected]

“I cried. I didn’t know what else to do besides cry.”

— Brayle Crosman, Grantsville senior catcher

said was light-hearted, and, better yet, it worked, as Toone hit a fly ball to Addison Smith to end the game and give Grantsville its first state cham-pionship since 1998.

There’s no doubt it took a lot of hard work for the Cowboys to get here. There have been a lot of disappoint-ments along the way for this senior class, which saw pre-vious teams get to the state tournament and falter in the

face of high expectations. This year, Crosman, Casper, Justice and Breanna Dzierzon were determined to write a differ-ent ending.

One thing that was appar-ent with this year’s team from Day One was their relaxed approach. Not that they weren’t dedicated to winning. They absolutely were. They were good and knew it. The confidence was there. But they also remembered that softball is, in fact, a game, and they approached it as such. This is a team that brought its own walk-up music with it on

the road and sang along with it from the dugout, and saw its coach, Heidi Taylor, take part in an impromptu dance-off or two.

There were times late in the season that it seemed the Cowboys might be headed for another almost-but-not-quite-good-enough finish. They lost the Region 10 finale to Stansbury, though they’d already clinched the region title, and lost to Bear River the next time out. But that was the last time Grantsville tasted defeat. The Cowboys beat Bonneville just before the

state tournament, and allowed just seven runs in five post-season games to finish with a flourish.

So, congratulations, Cowboys. And thank you for reminding us all that even when the pressure is on, it’s still just a game.

Tooele County further cemented its reputation for quality softball during the Class 3A state tournament, with all three of its squads finishing among the top teams in the state.

In addition to state champion Grantsville, Tooele finished fourth and Stansbury tied for fifth, with Tooele coming within a run of advancing to the state semifinals for the second con-secutive year.

“Every team is so talented, one through nine,” Tooele coach Marissa Lowry said. “I’m so grateful that we get to play against each other and get bet-ter from here on out.”

Tooele (15-13), the No. 2 seed from Region 10, opened the weekend in Spanish Fork with a 9-1 demolition of Region 9 champion Cedar in the second round of the winner’s bracket on Thursday. The Buffaloes were knocked into the one-loss bracket after falling to Ridgeline 5-0 on Friday morning, setting up an elimination game against cross-county rival Stansbury.

The Stallions (20-11) found themselves working their way through the one-loss bracket after dropping their first-round game to Ridgeline the previous week. They rolled to a 7-1 win over North Sanpete on Thursday afternoon, and beat Carbon 7-3 on Friday morning to keep their season alive going into the after-noon game against Tooele.

The Buffaloes beat the Stallions 6-5 on Blake Hervat’s walk-off RBI single in the bot-tom of the seventh inning, end-ing Stansbury’s season.

Tooele surged to an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, as Emma Jackson hit a two-run ground-rule double to left-center field and Hervat had an RBI infield single, both with two outs. Rylee Ricks hit a two-run single for Stansbury in the top of the third and Lindsey Allie tied the game with an RBI

double in the fourth.The Stallions took the lead

on a sacrifice fly by Ashley Thompson that allowed Ricks to score in the top of the fifth inning, but Tooele jumped back in front on a two-out, two-run single by Jenna Gowans that scored Payton Hammond and Amber Lujan in the bottom of the frame.

The Buffs were one out away from closing out the game in the top of the seventh, but a throw-ing error on a ground ball hit by Kaeley Loader allowed Ricks to score the game-tying run to keep the game alive.

“We battled, but just came up a little short,” Stansbury coach Bridget Clinton said. “You can’t ask for anything more there.”

Kamryn Grover’s one-out single got the Buffs going in the bottom of the seventh, and courtesy runner Rylee Anderson stole second base and advanced to third on an error. Emma Jackson walked with two outs to give Tooele runners on the corners, and Hervat hit a bloop single down the left-field line to drive in Anderson with the game-winning run.

“It wasn’t any different that what we play every Tuesday and Friday,” Clinton said, alluding to the tough games teams face in Region 10 during the regular season. “It was a good game.

The girls played hard and they battled to the very, very end. Bailey [Christensen] pitched awesome.”

The win sent Tooele into another elimination game against eventual state runner-up Bear River. The Bears held on for a 3-2 win, though the Buffs had baserunners in each of the final two innings.

“This team has so much grit, and I’m so proud of them for the run that they made,” Lowry said. “Every single game, every single play, they came out and gave it their all. They’re a team that never gives up -- even to the final out of the game, they’re still pushing and giving it their all.”[email protected]

TELL ME A STORY

‘The Cat that Ruled a Kingdom’(An Icelandic Tale)

adapted by Amy Friedman and illustrated by Meredith Johnson

Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived with his wife and their son in an impoverished tumbledown hut. The

strange thing was, the old man was very wealthy. The trouble was, he was a miser. He chose to live this way because he did not want to spend any of his money. The old man’s wife and son were as skinny as straw because he would not spend his gold — not even for his family’s food.

But even misers get hungry, and as time passed, the old man became so hungry that he grew ill. After a few days, he died and left behind his fortune.

The night after he died, the man’s son, Finnur, dreamed that a stranger had appeared before him. The stranger explained that half his father’s wealth was stolen.

“You must give it back to the poor,” the strang-er said. “The other half you must throw into the sea. But watch carefully as the money begins to sink.”

When Finnur woke, he was very upset. He did not want to give up his father’s riches. He had hoped that he and his mother could at long last live in comfort now that his father had died.

But Finnur was honest and generous, and so he sought out his father’s victims and rewarded them with half his fortune. Then he walked out to a jetty that jutted far into the sea. From there, he flung the rest of the fortune.

Within a moment, almost all the money was drifting on the wind or sinking into the sea. But Finnur watched closely and saw one scrap of paper floating. He reached out and grabbed it and found six shillings wrapped inside.

This was now all the money he had in the world.

Ever the optimist, Finnur slipped the coins into his pocket.

“I’ll save this, and it may come in handy one day,” he said.

For the next few weeks, he tended the family garden and cultivated enough fruits and veg-etables for him and his mother to eat.

But one day in early spring, his mother fell ill. Soon after, she died.

As Finnur buried his mother, he wept. “I can-not stay in this place any longer,” he said to himself, and so he shut the door to the hut and wandered into the forest, determined to find his way somehow.

That night, he came to a hut in the forest. Tired and hungry, he knocked upon the door. When a woman answered, he asked if he might have a cup of milk.

“Of course,” the old woman said, “but please, come in. Eat with us and sleep here tonight. I will charge you nothing. You look so tired.”

When Finnur walked in, he saw the old wom-an’s family at a supper table enjoying a meal. They made room for him, and he gladly joined them. When he had finished eating, he looked around and was amazed to see a creature such as he had never seen sitting by the fire, staring into the flames.

The creature was small and gray, but Finnur was dazzled by its eyes, which were quite large and seemed to glow.

“What is that?” he asked the old woman.“We call it a cat,” the woman said.“If it isn’t too expensive, I’d like to buy it. I

need the company,” Finnur said. “I can sell it for six shillings,” the woman said.Finnur took the last of his money from his

pocket and gave it to the woman, and that night he slept more peacefully than he ever had. The next morning, holding the cat in his arms, he departed.

Finnur and the cat wandered on through the forest. Before long, they saw the royal palace before them. Finnur had heard that the king was a kind and good man, so Finnur decided he would ask for work.

He knocked upon the palace gates. “I’m looking for work,” Finnur told the guards.

The servants told the king there was a lad with a strange creature at the palace gates, and the king told them to send him inside.

When Finnur walked into the court holding the cat, he discov-ered the king was at supper with his family, and he bowed low. But when he stood again, he was amazed to see a sea of small, furry creatures scurrying about, stealing food from the table, even from the king’s own plate.

“What are those?” Finnur asked the king, star-ing at the strange creatures. The cat was staring too, and a moment later, it leapt from Finnur’s arms.

“They are called rats, and we are helpless to stop them. They are taking over our palace,” the king said mournfully.

But just at that moment, the cat pounced on a fat rat and seized it in its jaws, shaking it vio-lently.

Everyone was stunned.

In mere minutes, the cat had grabbed several of those rats and shaken them to death. Soon, the dining hall was clear of rats.

The king stared in wonder at this miracle. “What kind of animal is that you have?” the king asked.

“It’s called a cat,” Finnur said. “I bought it for six shillings.”

The king smiled. “You have brought great for-tune to our palace, and for that I will give you my daughter’s hand in marriage. You shall reign over this kingdom after me.”

And so it was. Finnur, the princess and their well-fed cat lived happily ever after.

TOOELE MAYOR YOUTH AWARDS GRAND PRIZE DRUG-FREE, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WINNERS

PHOTO COURTESY OF HEIDI PETERSON

Jaxon Day and Garrett Pearson, sixth grade West Elementary students, won Grand Prize for Tooele County School District’s Drug-Free Healthy Lifestyle Contest, producing a video with great advice for parents on setting clear guidelines about drugs and alcohol for their kids. Officer Tanya Kalma and the Tooele City Police Department, partnered with Tooele County School District teachers, administrators and coordina-tors for this contest.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve been letting my dog out in the backyard for years to do his business. Lately, my new next-door neighbor has been complaining to me about the smell coming from my backyard. I haven’t noticed anything; I think he just doesn’t like my dog. Now he’s threatening to call the city. What can I do to stop this

harassment? — Annoyed in Altoona, Pennsylvania

DEAR ANNOYED: I’m not in a position to judge this situ-ation. However, I can tell you that in warm weather, the smell of fresh dog poop carries quite a long way. If your neigh-bor is trying to enjoy a nice spring morning in his backyard at the same time your dog does his business, the two are bound to cross aromatic paths.

Try to listen to your neigh-bor and get more details on when he notices the smell. Is the odor constant, or just for a few minutes? Would it be pos-sible to compromise by letting your dog out an hour earlier in the morning or later at night?

On another note, are you picking up after your dog? If

not, waste can quickly litter your backyard to the point that you can’t enjoy it either, for fear of stepping in poo. It’s also a terrible fertilizer: Dog poop and urine have high levels of nitrogen, which yellows and eventually kills grass. If your back yard has clumpy tufts of grass or no grass at all, your dog’s poop may be the reason.

As far as calling the city, whether it takes action depends on whether you’re vio-lating any ordinances. Again, I can’t make that call. But, try to compromise and keep the peace with your neighbor.

Trivia Test Answers

READERS: I promised to let you know as soon as I had more “Nashville” news, and that time is now. Word just came down that the second half of season five will pre-miere Thursday, June 1, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CMT (with all new episodes streaming on Hulu the following day). And so you can plan for down the road, season six is scheduled to begin airing in early 2018.

There also is some casting news: Cameron Scoggins, who plays tech billionaire Zach Welles, has been upgraded to series regular. Methinks this has something to do with his burgeoning romance with Will Lexington. And joining the cast

is Odessa Adion, who will play the recurring role of Liv. Here’s her character description from CMT: “Tough, but vulnerable, Liv is a teen runaway who has ditched a bad situation to live on the streets among a loose collection of other runaway teens. She is a quick thinker who has a mischievous sense of humor and dominant per-sonality (a bit of a ‘wiseass,’ especially with adults).”

• • •Q: This past year I got

really into “Timeless.” I couldn’t wait to see what era in history they would travel to next. Do you know if it has been renewed? — Debbi J., via Facebook

A: I too love that show, so I am doubly sad to report that NBC has canceled the fresh-man series for low ratings. However, there is still hope: Series creators Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan tweeted that “Timeless” is being shopped around by Sony to other out-lets. And while the odds are

against them, hopefully they’ll have the same luck as the aforementioned “Nashville” and find new life on another network. Hmmm ... I’m thinking this is a perfect fit for FX or SyFy.

• • •Q: My mom told

me that Anne Rice’s “Vampire Chronicles” are coming to televi-sion. Is that true? If so, do you have any details? — Lydia F., via email

A: The Queen of the Damned herself, Ms. Rice, confirmed on her official Facebook page that “The Vampire Chronicles” has been picked up by Paramount TV for development. Anne’s son, Christopher, will write the series, with both of them serv-ing as producers.

Anne is “thrilled beyond words” about

the reboot, stating: “In this unique golden age of televi-sion, I couldn’t ask for a finer

or more passionate team to help bring my beloved vampire hero, Lestat, alive in a series

of the highest quality. This is a dream come true, both for me and for Christopher, and for the fans who have been asking to see the Brat Prince in this medium for years.”

And since this is still very early, there is no script or casting news to report on — as soon as I know, you’ll know. In the meantime, let me know who would be your perfect small-screen Lestat.

Q: When my great-grandmother and her sister went to the St. Louis Fair in 1904, she took along a Brownie Camera Model A made by Kodak. It was a simple box camera, but took remarkable pictures. Does it have any value? — Rob, Chesterfield, Missouri

A: Your camera is a fold-ing type in a black leatherette case with maroon bellows. It generally sells for about $85 and is referenced in the “Cameras and Photographica Price Guide,” edited by Kyle Husfloen.

• • •Q: I have a jar that is

marked “Humphrey Glass Works,” but I can’t find any-thing about the company in my reference books. The jar has been in my family since the early 1900s. Can you tell me anything about the company? — Dawn, Austin, Texas

A: Humphrey Glass Works was established in about 1890 by John M.M. Humphrey in Trenton, Nova Scotia. According to “Glass A to Z” by David J. Shotwell, the com-pany made bottles, jars and even chimneys and globes for lanterns. In 1900, the glass-works was destroyed by fire, but within a year it was rebuilt near the original site and began expanding operations to include soda-water bottles, medicine bottles and flasks.

In 1915, the plant relocated to Moncton, New Brunswick, and ceased production in about 1920.

• • •Q: I have the first LP

recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, the folksingers. It was issued in 1962, according to the information on the cover. What is it worth? — Rita, Wisconsin

A: Faster than you can say “Puff, the Magic Dragon,” I found your LP listed in the Goldmine Standard Catalogue of American Records 1950-1975 by Tim Neely, published by Krause and available online. Neely claims the LP is worth $20 if it is the mono issue, and $25 if stereo. It is fairly common and frequently pops up at garage sales throughout the country.

• • •Q: I have a lamp that first

appeared to be glass-leaded. On closer examination, I decided the pieces of the shade might be plastic. I am enclosing a picture for your opinion. — Brenda, Marion, Indiana

A: Your shade is made of capiz shell, a close cousin of the oyster.

The Stansbury baseball team had the pitching to make a run in the Class 3A state tournament, but a lack of offense and struggles in the field doomed the Stallions in a season-end-ing, 4-3 loss to Carbon on Thursday at Nelson Field in Spanish Fork.

The Stallions (14-12) com-mitted four errors and had just three hits in the loss, leaving them to lament a missed opportunity.

“The biggest thing that cost us the game was defense,” Stansbury coach Ray Clinton said. “Our pitching was right there, and we didn’t hit the ball. You’ve got to have at least two things to win, and we only had one — we had the pitching.”

Carbon (14-12) took a 2-0 lead in the first inning, tak-ing advantage of a miscue in the field by the Stallions. The Dinos’ Gavin Robinett reached base on an error by

Stansbury third baseman Reilly Tripp, giving Carbon a baserunner with one out. Cody Lowe followed with an RBI triple to the gap in right-center field to score Robinett, and Lowe scored on Chase Morgan’s RBI single up the middle.

Stansbury responded in the bottom of the third inning, tying the game on a two-run double to left-center by Clayton Stanworth that drove in Jayson Blake and Mitch McIntyre. Carbon took the lead for good in the top of the fourth inning after Kameron Gunter led off with a triple and scored on Zac Bradley’s sacrifice fly.

The Stallions had a chance to pull even or possibly take the lead with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, as Austin Woodhouse and Hunter Myers were hit by pitches and McIntyre drew an intentional walk to load the bases. The Dinos replaced

Bradley on the mound with reliever Adrien Sanchez, who struck out Stanworth and Matt McIntyre to escape the inning unscathed and with Carbon still clinging to a one-run lead.

“We had two good hitters come up and their pitcher made some quality pitches and got them both out with strikeouts,” Clinton said. “I think the first two batters [Sanchez] faced, he only threw one strike out of seven [pitches], and we were just swinging at pitches that weren’t strikes. We weren’t patient at the plate and we were out in front of every-thing, swinging at balls that we normally don’t swing at.”

Carbon extended the lead to 4-2 on Wyatt Wilson’s RBI single in the top of the sixth. Stansbury closed the gap to one run on an RBI single by Myers with one out in the bottom of the seventh, leav-ing the Stallions with run-ners on first and second, but Stanworth grounded into a double play to end the game.

Stansbury starting pitcher Conner Kincaid allowed three runs — two earned — on three hits with one walk, one hit batter and five strike-outs in five innings. Reliever Jordan Bolser, who was cred-ited with the loss, allowed one run on two hits and two walks in 1 1/3 innings, and Parker Buys recorded the final two outs of the game for Stansbury without allowing a [email protected]

Grantsville Taekwondo masters Guy Versluis, Chariti Mecham and Michael Broadwater tested students for eight hours on their physical and mental strength to earn their black belts on Saturday, May 13, 2017. They had to have a minimum 3.2 grade-point average in school, an outstanding parental behavior assessment and years of training and discipline to be selected to test for their first-degree black belt. Congratulations to Connor Knight, Hayden Schmidt, Jaxson Smith, Katelynn Reyes, Jace Knight, Lucas Viera, RJ Reyes and Justin Hall (second degree). Justin’s strong determination, will and spirit helped him persevere through eight hours of testing. He has helped train students for two years and has been a huge asset to the instruc-tors at Grantsville Taekwondo.

HARD WORK PAYS OFF

Oblad snuck in a personal record (P.R.) of 5 feet, 9 inches in the high jump between the 400 and 200 for another first-place finish.

Oblad’s first event was the 100 and she was not happy with her performance there.

“So, my first event was the 100 and I took third in that,”

she said. “I was really upset about it, so I think that kind of fueled the rest of my day.

“After that I ran the 400 and I PR’d. I ran a 56.14-and I took first in that. Then, I ran the 200,”she said. “I took first in that and I also got a school record, with 25.29. Then right between the 200 I was run-ning from the high jump to the 200, to figure everything out. I went and did high jump and I [jumped a] 5-9 and I won that. That was also a PR.”

Besides placing third in a school-record-setting 400, Roberts placed fifth in both the 100 (11.16) and 200 (22.55) meters and was the anchor leg on the 4x100-meter relay team that placed second.

Roberts’ 4x100 teammates, Jamin Peacock, Silas Young and McCoy Didericksen, were .49 seconds behind first-place Desert Hills, with a 43.26. In the 4x400 relay, Canyon View edged out the SHS boys’ team for first place by just .45 sec-onds to finish second.

The 4x400 relay team was made up of Xander Littlefield,

Abram Miller, Hawk Call and Josh Wintch.

Miller, who ran the second leg, and took the handoff from Littlefield said, “the first 50 [I] just ran as fast as [I could],” said Miller, who ran the sec-ond leg after taking the hand-off from Littlefield. “I just kept it with the whole race.”

“I pushed it harder in the 400 than I ever have before… Normally I like to start out behind someone, so I have someone to catch so I don’t have to run scared,” said Call, the relay’s third leg. “But, Abram over here had run so dang fast that I didn’t get that opportunity. So, the first 100-200 meters, I was running scared.

“At the 250 I could hear someone breathing behind me,” he added. “I’ve got to pick it up, so then I gave it another gear and I just held it as strong and as fast as I possibly could until the end and had a good hand off with Wintch. We had a close sec-ond place. But, I’m extremely happy with that.”

“I just tried to give it as much as I could and then give it again at the 100 and give it again at the 200 —just keep giving those gears,” Wintch said. “There really was noth-ing else I could do, but just trust the work of the others. They gave it their all.”

Grantsville ranked high in boys’ field events, with Gavin Eyre besting the second-place javelin thrower’s distance by 6 feet. His throw was 181-7 1/2. Fellow Cowboy shot put-ter, Connor Ware, placed third with 49-0 1/4.

Tooele’s Allie Mills finished sixth in the high jump with 5-1.

Desert Hills finished as the top boys’ team with 131 points, but SHS was only three points from second place fin-isher Hurricane. The girls were fourth behind Desert Hills, Cedar and Dixie, with just seven-point difference from third-place Dixie.

Josh Larsen and Mikelle Rogers of Stansbury also received Track Academic All-State honors for maintaining a 4.0 G.P.A. throughout high school.

Other outstanding finishers for the Stallion boys were Josh Jenkins, fourth in long jump (20-11 1/2); in the 200 meter, Silas Young fourth (22.45); Josh Wintch, fourth in the 800 (1:55.56); Jamin Peacock, eighth place in the 100 meter and Jacob Medsker, sixth and seventh in the 110 and 300 hurdles, with 15.72 and 41.23.

Kayla Alvey was fifth in the 300 hurdles (47:45) and Zoe Hales was eighth in the 3,200 meter (11:33.07).

SHS coach Gary Lund was proud of both the boys and girls teams.

“This was an awesome track meet,” Lund said. “We have amazing kids, the coaches are just along for the ride.”[email protected]

Stansbury’s Hawk Call, Xander Littlefield, Abram Miller and Josh Wintch finished second in the 4x400-meter relay at the state track and field meet Saturday, helping Stansbury’s boys team finish third in Class 3A.

SHS BASEBALL

CLEVELAND (AP) — Isaiah Thomas pushed his undersized body — and the Boston Celtics — as far as he possibly could.

Battling a hip injury the past two months and then playing through the darkest period of his life, he proved an inspiration while dedicating his performances to his late sister.

Thomas left it all on the floor, and paid the price.

The All-Star point guard’s season is over, and his team is likely to soon follow. The Celtics trail the Cleveland Cavaliers 2-1 in the Eastern Conference finals heading into Game 4 on Tuesday night.

Thomas didn’t travel with the Celtics, staying in Boston so he can visit hip specialists. Before Sunday’s shootaround, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Thomas may need sur-gery for the hip impingement, which has been bothering him since March.

The injury was so severe that Stevens said he was surprised Thomas was able to play Game 7 of Boston’s semifinal series against Washington. Thomas got through the first half of Friday’s 44-point loss in Game 2 before the team shut him down to avoid further injury.

“There were times where you could see he was really

struggling, but probably nothing like the other night,” Stevens said. “I thought the first half he was really hurting, really didn’t have any bounce, didn’t have any push. And it’s one of those things where being around him for the last couple of years, he wants to play through any and all cir-cumstances.”

Steven said Thomas pleaded with team doctors to let him back on the court despite the Celtics being down by 40 points in the third quarter.

“I think the best part about it from all of our standpoints was how inspiring it’s been to have a guy that’s done all this and accomplished all this and is willing to literally go out and leave it all out there,” Stevens said.

It’s a jolting finish for Thomas, the speedy 5-foot-9 guard with the devastating hesitation dribble and uncan-ny ability to maneuver around much bigger men for layups. For a time, his story captivated the basketball world.

On the eve of the postsea-son, Thomas’ sister, Chyna, was killed in a single-car accident outside Tacoma, Washington. Thomas received an outpouring of support across the NBA, but it was on him to keep the top-seeded Celtics moving ahead.

Celtics’ Thomas done, may need surgery on hip
