Locked gates lead to a Vernon farm owned by Tooele City that is involved in a lawsuit.

DAVID BERNEDITOR

A jury in Third District Court decided last month Tooele City owes $2.76 million to a sod farm company that claimed the city wrongfully terminated a management lease and owed the business money to compen-sate for its sod crop.

But the jury also decided Aposhian Sod Farm Company owes the city $137,000 for

damages and waste left on the 1,784-acre farm in Vernon the city bought in 1990 for future water development.

The city has filed post trial motions that challenge the decision and assert “mistakes” occurred by the court and jury during the trial.

“If the judge denies our post-trial motions, we are not going to pay $2.76 million,” said Tooele City Attorney

Roger Baker. “We will appeal.”According to Rogers, the

city decided to terminate the lease in 2012 because it had become “dissatisfied” with how Aposhian was managing and maintaining the property.

The jury’s decision in the 3 and one-half-year-old lawsuit between the city and Aposhian came on Dec. 14 before Judge

Tooele County households have a higher median income, but less people with a college education than other counties in the state, according to a new national survey.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey released last month features new data based on monthly surveys of households across the nation conducted during a five-year period from January 2011 to December 2015.

According to the survey, the median household income in Tooele County is $63,552, which is 4.6 percent higher than the state median house-hold income of $60,727.

A household consists of all the people who occupy a housing unit, according to the Census Bureau. The aver-age household size in Tooele

County is 3.25 people.Statewide the average

household size is 3.15.Individual workers who live

in Tooele County bring home median earnings of $35,051 annually, compared to $27,457 median earnings for workers statewide, according to the survey.

Almost half — 42.9 percent — of those workers travel out-side Tooele County to work. Statewide 16.8 percent of workers find work outside of the county where they live.

The industry sector that employs the most people who live in Tooele County includes education, healthcare and social assistance. A total of 4,709 people in the county, or 17.9 percent of the county’s workforce, find employment in this category, the survey states.

Tooele City’s financial standing is clean, according to an independent accounting agency.

Randy Jensen from certi-fied public accounting agency WSRP of Salt Lake City, reviewed the city’s annual audit report for fiscal year July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 at a 10 a.m. special business meet-ing on Dec. 28 at City Hall.

“We received a very good financial report,” Jensen said. “It’s hard for us to do our job without appropriate informa-tion.”

He referred to the work completed by Tooele City Finance Director Glenn Caldwell and Assistant Finance Director Shannon Wimmer in providing accurate financial

statements to the auditors.Mayor Patrick Dunlavy

also lauded the city’s finance department and city council for being financially conserva-tive.

Council members Debbie Winn and Brad Pratt said the city is in good financial shape because of the administration.

“Sometimes it can be a tight situation. We have a mayor and staff who are extremely careful with the way they spend money,” Pratt said.

The total primary govern-ment revenue and expen-ditures nearly matched the previous fiscal year. Tooele’s net position for the 2015 fis-cal year figure came in at $190,641,336, compared to the 2016 total net position of

Tooele County’s weather the past few days has been like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re going to get.

Temperatures did not get above 28 degrees during the first four days of January with a low of 9 degrees on New Year’s Day. The trend changed suddenly on Jan. 4 when the high temperature shot up above 40 degrees for four straight days, according to readings from Ned Bevan, Tooele Weather Observer for the National Weather Service.

Disparity between high-and-low temperatures were extreme on Jan. 6 with a high of 40 degrees and a nine-day low of minus-4 degrees.

“The swing in temperatures in January is not uncommon and actually has a name, January thaw,” said snow survey supervisor Randy Julander

Senator Daniel Thatcher is coming to town.

Thatcher is hosting a pre-legislative session town hall meeting for Tooele County residents at Tooele Applied Technology College this Thursday at 7 p.m.

“I’ve invited everyone,” Thatcher said. “Republicans, Democrats, unaffiliated voters, everybody is welcome.”

Thatcher, a Republican, represents State Senate District 21.

Thatcher’s district in Tooele County includes Tooele City, Pine Canyon, parts of Erda and Lake Point. The district bound-aries sweep over the Oquirrh Mountains to the east from Butterfield Pass to Lake Point Junction to include Magna and parts of West Valley City,

West Jordan, Kearns, and Taylorsville.

Thatcher lives in West Valley City.

During the first hour of the meeting, Thatcher will discuss and answer questions about his priorities for the 2017 leg-islative session. The last half hour will be for questions and comments from the audience, he said.

Some of the topics for the first hour will include suicide prevention, civil asset forfei-ture, criminal record expunge-ment, peer counseling for law enforcement, municipal code enforcement, and sentencing enhancements for victim selec-tion.

Thatcher was a primary sponsor of the legislation that lead to the creation of the SafeUT app, an app that allow students with one touch of their smartphone to call or chat with the crisis line or sub-mit a school safety tip.

School safety tips can include information on bul-lying, suicide, sexual miscon-duct, planned school attacks, and other safety issues.

Thatcher is sponsoring leg-islation in 2017 that will pre-pare the way for a coordinated statewide crisis line with 24/7 qualified live help.

Thatcher has also requested a bill to be drafted that will modify how and when proper-ty used in a crime can be con-fiscated. The legislation will also send any forfeited cash to the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice.

A bill that will modify the procedure for convicted crimi-nals to expunge, or clean, their criminal record after 10 years of no additional crime is also on Thatcher’s to do list for the 2017 session.

“We need to make it possible for these people to get on with their lives,” he said.

Thatcher also wants to cre-ate and fund a program that will train law enforcement offers to provide peer mental health counseling for their fel-low officers, he said.

Thatcher also wants to make sure that law enforcement offi-cers enforce criminal penalties for county or city code viola-tion. Typical code violations include things like not water-ing your lawn, he said.

“If cities and counties want to make code enforcement a criminal issue, then those

codes should be enforced by a trained law enforcement officer,” Thatcher said. “If not, then make code violations an infraction that are then enforceable but don’t go on a person’s criminal record.”

Thatcher has a bill prepared for the 2017 session titled, “Victim Selection Penalty Enhancements.” He is careful to differentiate his bill from “hate crime” legislation.

“I’m not creating any new crimes,” he said. “It is hard to prove hate, and just hating somebody is not a crime.”

Instead, Thatcher is propos-ing enhancements to penalties during the sentencing phase following a criminal convic-tion.

“There’s a difference between painting a smiley face on a synagogue and painting the words ‘Die Jews’,” he said.

The bill provides that the penalty for a criminal offense is subject to enhancement by one degree if the offender acted against an individual because of the offender’s perception of the individual’s ancestry, disability, ethnic-ity, gender, gender identity, national origin, race, religion or sexual orientation.

For example, a class C mis-demeanor would treated as a Class B misdemeanor, a class B misdemeanor would treated as a Class A misdemeanor, and so on.

“We want to send a message that those that target people for crime as a way of instilling fear in our communities will not be tolerated,” Thatcher said.

A report of a reckless driver turned into a destructive single-vehicle accident early Tuesday morning after the sus-pect fled Grantsville City police officers.

According to Grantsville City Police Officer Alison Peterson, at approximately 2:30 a.m. a reckless driver in a pickup truck was reported. When offi-cers responded to the area of the call, the driver of the vehi-cle, later identified as Matthew Pike of Grantsville, fled and was not pursued by officers.

Shortly after the pickup fled police, officers were able to track it down at the inter-sections of Clark Street and Tiebreaker Circle, according to Peterson. The truck had crashed through a brick wall and rolled, before coming to rest against a parked car.

Pike had fled on foot from the scene of the crash but two passengers were left in the pickup truck, Peterson said. A female passenger was flown by medical helicopter and a male

passenger was transported by ambulance to a Salt Lake-area hospital. The condition of both passengers was not known by police at press time.

It took officers several hours to track down Pike, who was arrested in the area of 400 W. Main Street, and take him into custody, according to Grantsville City police. He was transported to the hospital for treatment of injuries suf-fered in the crash and will be booked into the Tooele County Detention Center on multiple charges, Peterson said.

The accident left a swath of destruction in the neighbor-hood but there is no estimated amount of damage at this time, according to Grantsville City police.

The exact charges faced by Pike have not been released by police and it is unknown why he fled officers, according to Peterson.

“It’s a sad situation and hopefully later on we’ll know why he made the decision he did,” Peterson [email protected]

The Tooele man charged with attempted murder in connection with a shot fired at the 7-11 convenience store at 975 N. Main St. in May was found guilty on all counts by a jury last week.

Vernal George Wright, 38, was found guilty on charges of first-degree felony attempt-ed murder and misdemeanor reckless endangerment during a jury trial last Thursday.

The two-day trial ended with the nine-member jury arriving at a guilty verdict after a final deliberation that took more than three hours.

Several members of the Tooele City Police Department were among the witnesses involved in the jury trial and evidence included surveil-lance footage and the 911 call

connected to the shooting. Prosecutors also provided a shell casing, shell jacket and Wright’s tattoos as evidence in the case.

According to Tooele City police, Wright and a female companion had engaged in an argument with the 32-year-old male victim at the con-venience store around 1:30 a.m. on May 5. Wright and

the woman were leaving the parking lot when Wright fired a single shot from a handgun, according to witnesses.

The bullet did not strike the male victim but Wright left in a white Pontiac car, according to police. He was reported as being armed and dangerous, with police seeking public aid in tracking Wright down.

According to court records, the case against Wright was filed on June 2 and a cash bail warrant for him was ordered in the amount of $100,000. The warrant was recalled on June 6 after Wright was arrested by Tooele City police and booked at the Tooele County Detention Facility.

Wright is expected back in 3rd District Court for sentenc-ing on Feb. 28 at 9 a.m. before Judge Robert [email protected]

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Salt Lake City warmed up Monday after days of cold and snow, but officials across the state are keeping a wary eye out for flooding as ski resorts deal with high winds and an avalanche risk that includes urban roofs as well as back-country mountain slopes.

Temperature swings crank up avalanche danger as snow melts and refreezes, and the state’s capital hit 45 degrees Monday after expe-riencing a low of minus 6 last week, National Weather Service meteorologist Monica Traphagan said. The weather roller-coaster is expected to continue in the days ahead, with more rain and snow in the forecast.

Powder Mountain near Ogden closed Monday, citing high winds and an unstable snowpack, and other ski resorts delayed lift open-ings amid strong wind gusts. Schools were canceled in far northwest Box Elder County following a snow-and-freezing-rain advisory for rural areas.

Meanwhile, in the southern part of the state, the iconic Zion National Park closed slot canyons that are prone to flooding, including the popular river hike called The Narrows, after the weather service issued a flood warn-ing from rain and snowmelt. Seven people hiking through a smaller canyon died last fall after getting caught in a flood at Zion. While the park is now

in its offseason, rangers have said that visitation during the winter is higher than ever.

It was the only official flood warning by the weather service for Utah, but cities and towns from northern Utah’s Cache County down nevertheless kept a wary eye out and filled sandbags as morning rain and warming temperatures melted a bumper crop of recent snow.

It wasn’t the only warning for the state’s urban areas: In addition to a new round of warnings about avalanche dan-ger in the mountainous back-country popular with skiers, meteorologists also cautioned people to stay clear of steep rooftops where the unusual combination of conditions could cause snow slides.

Robert K. Adkins. The lawsuit originally stems from conflict-ing interpretations between the city and Aposhian over a 1998 lease agreement signed by both parties.

The lease, called “Vernon Ranch Management Agreement and Grazing Lease,” spells out terms between the city and Aposhian, with the sod farm company paying $30,000 per year to use the Vernon farm’s acreage and wells to grow and sell commercial sod. The farm is located 33 miles south of Tooele City, west of state Route 36.

The main disagreement between both parties involves the lease’s term, its termination clause, and how much sod crop buy-out the city owed at the lease’s termination.

The lease document states: “The term of this agreement and lease shall begin on the 1st day of July, 1998 and shall terminate without notice on the 31st day of December, 2007. This ten-year agreement shall automatically renew at the beginning of each new calendar year for the full ten-year term, subject to the provisions of this agreement.”

The termination clause states: “This agreement may be terminated without cause by either party by giving the other party 120 days advance written notice of such termination.”

The lease’s sod crop buy-out provides if the city terminates the agreement without cause, the city would pay Aposhian the value of its sod crop at the date of termination. Payments to Aposhian would be made annually, with the first payment made 30 days after termina-tion, or after when the market value of the sod is determined, whichever is later.

How much the city would pay is also determined by a schedule included in the lease. The schedule requires the city to pay 100 percent of market value if the city terminates the lease within the first three years. By the fourth year it drops to 60 percent of value, and continues to drop by 10 percent each subsequent year.

By the tenth year or more, according to the schedule, the city is not required to pay Aposhian any percentage for the value of its sod crop at ter-mination.

The city’s position is the lease terminated on Dec. 31, 2007 and was in its full right to issue a termination let-ter, presented by Clyde Snow Attorneys at Law, Salt Lake City, to Aposhian on Nov. 20, 2012.

The letter explained the lease terminated on Dec. 31, 2007 and the city had allowed Aposhian to remain on the property since then to November 2012, on a year-to-year basis, as a tenant at will.

It further stated Aposhian’s tenancy would terminate Dec. 31, 2012 but the city would provide “reasonable time” in 2013 for Aposhian to vacate the property. On Jan. 18, 2013 another termination letter was sent to Aposhian that speci-fied Aposhian had to vacate the property within 120 days.

However, it would allow the company access to the property until Dec. 31, 2014 to maintain and harvest sod crop already planted as of Jan. 18, 2013.

But in court documents, Aposhian argued the lease agreement provided for auto-matic renewals for successive 10-year terms beginning at the start of each calendar year and would not vacate the property.

Aposhian also claimed because the city had allowed the company to remain on the property after Dec. 31, 2007 the city should be barred from asserting that such termina-tion occurred “by virtue of its silence and unbroken course of conduct in which Tooele acted as if the parties were operating under the terms of the lease agreement” before the first termination letter on Nov. 20, 2012.

On May 5, 2013, Tooele City filed a complaint in Third District Court. To summarize, the lawsuit asserted the lease agreement expired on Dec. 31, 2007 without need for further notice and was properly termi-nated while Aposhian was an at will tenant of the city.

It also stated that Aposhian waived its right to sod crop loss and other payments under the lease by failing to accept the city’s offer to allow the compa-ny to mitigate its damages after May 18, 2013. The complaint also calls for Aposhian to vacate the property and pay $40 per day for every day it remained on the property after the lease terminated.

In its counterclaim, Aposhian’s attorneys said Tooele City never suggested the lease had terminated between Dec. 31, 2007 and Nov. 20, 2012, nor did the city ask to renegotiate the terms of Aposhian’s tenancy. The counterclaim further stated after the termination date, Aposhian commissioned a pro-fessional valuation of the sod crop, which concluded it was worth in excess of $3 million. On April 9, 2013 Aposhian notified the city of the amount and demanded payment within 30 days. That payment did not occur.

The counterclaim also says the city breached the lease, and also breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, by terminating the lease first upon 30 days notice and then 120 days notice, but failing to pay for the sod crop and capital improvements.

The counterclaim says Aposhian is entitled to direct damages in excess of $300,000 plus consequential and inciden-tal damages, the exact amount to be proven at trial.

For months both sides filed motions for summary and partial summary judgments with Adkins, some of which were granted by the judge, but none resolved the case to the satisfaction of both parties. The case was scheduled to go to trial in the fall of 2015 but was canceled. It finally went to trial early last month.

The eight-member jury decided the city did prove Aposhian committed waste on the property and should pay $137,000 in damages to the city. But it also decided the city did not prove Aposhian remained in possession of the

property after Dec. 10, 2013, nor did the city prove that Aposhian breached the lease agreement.

The jury further determined the value of Aposhian’s sod crop as of Jan. 18, 2013 to be $2,768,154. It further deter-mined Aposhian received no revenue from its sod farm and related agricultural operations during 2013.

In a prepared statement, Tooele City Attorney Roger Baker said, “The verdict was contrary to all Tooele City expectations based on the judge’s rulings and orders in the case. Tooele City believes that errors were made at trial that require the verdict be significantly reduced, or the matter be tried again to a new jury.”

But a prepared statement by Aposhian’s law firm of Bennett Tueller Johnson & Deere, Salt Lake City, says “The jury rejected the city’s attempt to deny Aposhian compensation under the lease,

and rejected nearly every argu-ment and claim made by the city. Notwithstanding, the city refuses to accept the judgment of the eight jurors impaneled to decide the case.”

The statement further said the city “had the option to avoid such payment by sim-ply giving advance notice. However, the city chose to take a different path. When the LDS Church expressed interest in the farm, the city did not give advance notice.”

Court documents include a letter dated Nov. 15, 2012 from Richard A. Droubay, president of the Tooele Utah South Stake, which states “This letter will serve as a formal notification of our intent to pursue and secure the lease on the Vernon, Utah property owned by Tooele City.”

Baker said the LDS Church’s interest stated in the Nov. 15, 2012 letter is not what prompted the first termination letter to Aposhian on Nov. 20, 2012 as indicated by Aposhian’s attorneys. He said a letter was

received from the Tooele South Stake in early 2012 about leas-ing the farm.

Rogers said the Tooele South Stake was interested in running livestock on the ranch. He said lease terms were discussed but were never finalized and Tooele South Stake withdrew without explanation.

He added the farm has been without a tenant for three years.

Attorneys for both parties indicated the case will likely be appealed depending on which way Adkins decides on Tooele City’s post-trial motions. They also indicated the case could possibly go on for years before a final resolution is reached.

Tooele City bought the Vernon property for $650,000 in July 1990 to tap into its cer-tificated water right of 4,181 acre-feet (1.36 billion gallons) per year and with hope to someday pipe part of that water to Tooele City for culinary use by [email protected]

TUESDAY January 10, 2017 TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN A3


Late taxpayers in Tooele County owe a combined total of $2,396,712 in property taxes for 2016, according to Tooele County Treasurer Mike Jensen.

As treasurer, Jensen is the tax collector for all entities in Tooele County that can levy property tax.

“Most of the delinquent taxes get paid eventually,” he said. “State law gives prop-erty owners five years to pay their taxes, with interest and penalties, before the property can be sold in an auction to recover back taxes.”

Property tax payment notices are mailed before Nov. 1, and taxes must be paid by Nov. 30 to avoid pen-alties.

A 1-percent late penalty is added to all property taxes paid after Nov. 30 but before Jan. 31. After Jan. 31, the late penalty increases to 2.5 percent. Interest, at 7 percent annually, is also added to late property taxes, according to Jensen.

“The penalties, interest

rates and deadlines are set by state statute, not by the county,” he said.

If property taxes, along with interest and penalties, aren’t paid within five years, the property is sold in a pub-lic auction conducted by the county auditor in May.

Tooele County Clerk/Auditor Marilyn Gillette auc-tioned six properties in 2016. Owners of the six properties owed a collective $6,228 in property taxes, interest and penalties.

All six parcels were unim-proved lots. They ranged from 0.02 acres to 1.4 acres.

“Before we auction off a parcel we attempt to contact the property owner by send-ing a letter to the address we have on file,” Gillette said. “If there is a house on the prop-erty, we go out and knock on the door.”

The property owner can reclaim the property by pay-ing the back taxes, interest and fees up until the time the auction starts, according to Gillette.

The 2016 list of delinquent property taxes in Tooele

County has 1,833 parcels of land with taxes due ranging from $2.99 to $205,712.

An adjustment for uncol-lected taxes is included in the process of setting the tax rate for each year. This allows entities to prepare budgets without needing to make pro-vision for uncollected taxes.

However, an unusually large amount of unpaid taxes in one year could leave a taxing entity short of its bud-geted property tax revenue, Jensen said.

The 2016 delinquent prop-erty tax of $2.39 million is $400,000 more than 2015’s $1.99 million delinquent property taxes.

Out of the nearly $2 mil-lion, in delinquent property taxes owed on Dec. 31, 2015, all but $633,673 was paid by the Dec. 31, 2016.

Delinquent property tax payments reached an all time high of $2.75 million in 2013.

The county treasurer serves as the tax collector for all taxing entities in the county. Jensen collects prop-erty taxes levied by Tooele County; Tooele County

School District; cities and towns of Tooele, Grantsville, Wendover, Stockton, Rush Valley, and Vernon; Stansbury Park Improvement District; Stansbury Park Green Belt Service Area; Stansbury Park Recreation Service Area; Lake Point Improvement District; and Lake Point Cemetery and Park Service Area.

Jensen also collects for Tooele Valley Mosquito Abatement District, North Tooele County Fire District, Rush Valley Water Conservancy, South Rim Special Service District, and the North Tooele City Special Service District.

As per state law, when a delinquent payment is received, Jensen passes on the tax payment and a por-tion of the collected interest to taxing entities.

County treasurers in Utah are required by state law to make public a list of delin-quent taxpayers by Dec. 31 of each year.

One of the reasons for making a public list of delin-quent property taxes is to reach out to property owners who have changed addresses

but did not inform the county of their new address.

Prior to 2000, state law required counties to publish the delinquent taxpayer list in a local newspaper. In 2000 the state Legislature changed the requirements for public notice of delinquent taxpayers and gave counties the option of publishing the list in a local newspaper or mailing a notice to property owners.

In 2002 the Legislature again modified the require-ments for public notices, this time requiring a mailed notice and either a list pub-lished in a local newspaper or an electronic list accessible to the public.

Tooele County last pub-lished a list of delinquent taxpayers in the Dec. 27, 2001, edition of the Tooele Transcript Bulletin.

The 2016 list of delinquent Tooele County property tax-payers list can be found on the county treasurer’s website at www.co.tooele.ut.us/[email protected]

President-elect Donald Trump has accused President Obama of putting up “roadblocks” to a

smooth transition. In reality, I think President Obama has been too coop-erative with Trump.

I’d recommend Obama take the following last stands in the final weeks of his administration:

1. Name Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to fill any vacancy during the recess of the Senate. The Supreme Court is no exception. Justice William Brennan began his court tenure with a recess appoint-ment in 1956.

Any such recess appointment would expire at the end of the next Senate session. So if Obama appointed Garland before Jan. 20, the appointment would last until December 2017, the end of the first session of the 115th Congress.

2. Use his pardoning authority to forgive “Dreamers.” With a flick of his pen, Obama could forgive the past and future civil immigration offenses of the nearly 750,000 young people granted legal status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

This won’t give them citizenship. But without an immigration offense on their records they could more easily apply for legal status.

3. Add another economic sanction on Russia for interfering in the 2016 presidential election. Block all loans or investments by Russian nationals in real estate ventures in the United States.

Trump’s businesses might suffer, but, hey, that’s the price of making

America great again.4. Protect the civil service from

the Trump transition. Instruct all Cabinet departments and agencies not to respond to any Trump transi-tion team inquiry that might intimi-date any individual members of the civil service.

5. Issue an executive order pro-tecting the independence of all government fact-finding agencies. Included would be the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Center for Health Statistics, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, and the U.S. Census Bureau.

Trump could repeal the order after becoming president, but that would be politically costly because it would reveal his intent to quash the truth.

6. Issue an executive order pro-tecting the independence of all inspectors general in every Cabinet department and agency. (Ditto.)

7. Issue a report on the likely outcomes of Trump and Paul Ryan’s proposed tax cuts and budget cuts, showing which state’s citizens will benefit the most and which will lose the most.

Tax cuts going to the richest Americans and largest corporations will overwhelmingly benefit the citi-

zens of blue states. Cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, and the repeal of Obamacare, will disproportionately burden red states. Republican voters should know this.

President Obama has only a short time left in office. He should act on these quickly.

Robert Reich, a former U.S. Secretary of Labor, is professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley.

Obama advised to take a few last stands

We’ve come a long way from Daniel Patrick Moynihan excoriating

the U.N.’s 1975 “Zionism is racism” resolution in one of the finer exhib-its of righteous indignation in the history of American speechifying.

The Obama administration acceded to — and, reportedly, assisted behind the scenes — a less notorious but still noxious Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements. By the adminis-tration’s lights, the action is clever — it will be extremely difficult to reverse and will increase Israel’s international isolation.

But the bipartisan outrage over a resolution that, once again, demonstrates the U.N.’s hostility to our closest ally in the Middle East affords an opportunity to force an overdue crisis in the U.S.-U.N. rela-tionship. We are the chief funder of a swollen, unaccountable U.N apparatus that has been a gross disappointment going on more than 70 years now.

We came up with the idea for the United Nations. Franklin Roosevelt thought that the Four Policeman of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and China would keep the peace in the post-World War II world. This vision immediately foundered on the reality of power politics. The first major event in the U.N.’s life after the Security Council began meet-ing in New York City was a threat-ened Soviet walk-out.

It turned out that states with dif-ferent interests and values weren’t going to act as a band of righteous international enforcers. In fact, as demonstrated in Rwanda and the Balkans, when confronted by hideously predatory forces bent on mayhem and murder, U.N. peace-keepers would simply stand aside.

In the decades after the U.N.’s founding, the influence of Third World dictatorships grew, and so did the institution’s anti-Western and anti-Israel orientation, culmi-nating in the Zionism resolution. That vote was finally reversed in 1991, but prejudice against Israel has become one of the U.N.’s core

competencies — as well as impen-etrable bureaucracy.

We pay more than anyone else to keep the U.N. in business, about 22 percent of the U.N.’s regular budget. As Brett Schaefer of The Heritage Foundation notes, “the U.S. is assessed more than 176 other U.N. member states com-bined.”

It’s hard to even know how much the U.S. pays in total, but it’s probably around $8 billion a year. We should withhold some sig-nificant portion of it, and demand an end to the U.N.’s institutional hostility to Israel and the imple-mentation of reforms to increase the organization’s accountability. There are individual U.N. agencies that do good work, and we can continue to support those.

Realistically, though, the U.N. will always be a disappointment. The fact is that the closest thing to what FDR envisioned in the U.N. is NATO, a like-minded group of nations that has been a force for peace, order and freedom. This is why President-elect Donald Trump should embrace NATO and turn his critical eye to the U.N., where there is the genuine opportunity to, if nothing else, save the U.S. some money and rattle the cages of people taking advantage of our beneficence.

Charles de Gaulle dismissively called the U.N. “the thing.” The thing will always stumble on, but maybe Donald Trump can teach it a lesson or two about how we truly value our ally and its nemesis, Israel.

Expert snowplow driversLiving in the county’s “Banana

Belt” as we call Stansbury Park, I have seldom been concerned with snow removal from my cul-de-sac. This winter that beautiful snow kept fall-

ing and my former mobility ceased — until the Tooele County snowplows showed. I have watched from my window how expert the drivers are at maneuvering their plow blades. They handle their equipped trucks with

such skill that I feel impressed to say thanks for good work that adds plea-sure and safety to my life.

LETTERS POLICY

The Dec. 28 groundbreaking ceremony for Grantsville City’s new $3.6 million justice center was called a “milestone” by Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall and a “momentous occasion” by Grantsville Police Chief Kevin Turner.

Such pronouncements are often said by officials while extolling — or justifying — the virtues of a new government building. But in this case, Marshall and Turner don’t need to justify.

The 12,947-square-foot facility is needed for the city’s police department and justice court, both of which outgrew space at City Hall long ago. It also wasn’t a rushed decision or done behind closed doors. Instead, it’s the result of due diligence and holding the line on costs to create a win-win solution for the city.

The due diligence started over two years ago when Marshall and Turner began a hard look at possibly building a new justice center. By May 2015 the project started to be openly discussed at city council meetings and gained traction. After that came more than a year of planning, most of which was reported in the Transcript Bulletin.

Holding the line on costs followed when Marshall, Turner and the city council established how much the city could afford. When initial bids came in higher than $3.6 million, both men and the city council worked to elimi-nate or cut back items to get the cost closer within budget.

Next, the city sought funding it could afford, using a $2.7 million loan from the state’s Community Impact Board at 2.5 percent for 30 years. The remainder of the justice center’s cost will be paid for by using $400,000 in public safety impact fees, which are generated from building permits, and $500,000 from the general fund’s reserve fund. A tax increase to help pay for the facility was never publicly on the table.

When finished, what the city and citizens are supposed to get is a facility that features a courtroom, a joint service lobby for police and courts, patrol office areas, secure interview rooms, a multipurpose training and commu-nity room, and an ancillary building for vehicle and bulk evidence storage.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, Turner said he hopes the new jus-tice center “will be a beacon to the community where we can do training and classes, and have community programs where we can come together and keep building our bond and relationship with the citizens of our great city.”

With that said, the new justice center is more than a new home for police and justice court; all of Grantsville is welcome there, too. And that makes good sense, for as Grantsville continues to grow, the community bond Turner mentioned may play a vital part in helping the city and its residents keep crime in check.

If there is a downside to the project, it is the location. Such a noble edifice should be prominently featured on Grantsville’s Main Street. But the city saved money by using 2.7 acres of city-owned land north of City Hall and the Grantsville City Library on Bowery Street.

Grantsville’s new justice center promises to be a valuable asset the com-munity can proudly call its own. City Hall and citizens are congratulated on making a worthwhile project become reality.

GUEST OPINION

The outgoing Obama adminis-tration apparently isn’t quite finished politicizing intelligence

for the purpose of propaganda.With his final term coming to an

end, U.S. President Barack Obama has signed an executive order to address a “national emergency with respect to significant malicious cyber-enabled activities.” The order sanc-tions Russia’s military and foreign intelligence agencies and their senior officials, three Russian technology companies, and two alleged hackers of Russian and Latvian citizenship.

The order also calls for the expul-sion of 35 Russian diplomats, who were given 72 hours to leave the U.S. The take-home message, dutifully conveyed in the press and now widely accepted as gospel, is that Russia hacked the American election.

Except that White House Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco told reporters the Russian diplomats “were not alleged to have been involved in the hacking related to the election,” according to CNN.

Nor was there any indication in the FBI wanted posters for each of the alleged civilian hackers — who stand accused of hacking private U.S. e-

commerce entities and bank accounts — that they had any involvement in election hacking. Even the so-called technical evidence released in a joint FBI and Homeland Security report is a dog’s breakfast summary of various malware attributed to Russian enti-ties, but with the glaring disclaimer: “The Department of Homeland Security does not provide any warran-ties of any kind regarding any infor-mation contained within.”

The report includes an infographic and the general mechanism of action for malware tools attributed to Russian sources, but those tools are widely available and could be used by virtually any malicious actor. The NSA itself encourages the development of such exploits by paying hackers lucra-tive “bug bounties” to find ways to break into such programs.

Former NSA senior analyst Kirk Wiebe says there’s “no evidence the Russians did it.”

Former National Security Agency technical director William Binney told me: “They have not said how many other governments, hacker groups or individual hackers also hacked the servers. ... They have not said how many others in the world have also used this type attack. After all, this is a well-known hack, so many people know it/about it.”

A technical analysis of the report highlighted by WikiLeaks calls the malware sample “old, widely used, and appears to be Ukrainian,” with “no apparent relationship with Russian intelligence.” WikiLeaks itself, the publisher of the purportedly hacked material, stands by its claim that Russia had nothing to do with the breach.

“We have said repeatedly ... over the last two months that our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party,” WikiLeaks publish-er Julian Assange told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an interview last week.

“They don’t mention how the data got to WikiLeaks,” Binney said. “Julian Assange is confined to the embassy, so everything he does is

A5TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

President-elect Donald Trump’s tweets often trigger what is now com-

monly referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS.

You’ve seen the symptoms: the wailing and shrieking of tortured liberals; their refer-ences to Hitler and the end of days or whatever dark prophe-cies can be tweeted with two left thumbs.

But there was an intriguing Trump tweet aimed at Chicago the other day — the dysfunc-tional Democratic machine town that gave political birth to President Barack Obama and Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

And oddly, this Trump tweet didn’t set off a wave of TDS or charges of fake news or hair pulling and screaming.

“Chicago murder rate is record setting — 4,331 shoot-ing victims with 762 murders in 2016,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday after a “60 Minutes” piece on the city’s homicide epidemic. “If Mayor can’t do it he must ask for Federal help!”

Trump is wrong on a couple of counts. Chicago’s tally of 762 homicides isn’t a record. Higher numbers were routine in the 1990s. But with more than 4,000 people hit by bullets last year, there is an argument that the city that used to work is more violent than ever.

Trump’s talk of federalizing street crime and increasing the size of the leviathan doesn’t sound remotely conservative, or Republican. It’s some-thing a big-city, big-govern-ment Democrat would say. Historically, many Chicago bosses would rather the FBI worry about gun cases than public corruption.

Still, there were few, if any, shrieking lamentations or TDS when Trump let fly his tweet about Chicago homicides.

Why?Because more people were

slain in Chicago last year than in New York and Los Angeles combined. And according to reporting in the Chicago Tribune, police street stops have dropped by an astound-ing 82 percent over the year before.

With more than 4,000 shot, there easily could have been 1,000 dead, if not for advance-ments in medical science.

So, as people are cut down every day, as protesters hold crosses on Michigan Avenue to commemorate the dead, as others build shrines and weep, and as journalists like me preach to the choir while the thugs keep pulling their trig-gers, here’s what I see:

Chicago is bleeding.And Chicago’s Democratic

president and the Democratic mayor are impotent to stop it, even in the Democratic city, in this dark blue and fiscally ruined Democratic state.

Chicago cops have with-drawn, the astounding 82 percent drop in street stops tells you. And the city’s public schools don’t work and the jobs for the working class are gone. But the blood flows on the streets, and the taxes rise as millennials and people in their prime working years become refugees, seeking safety and economic opportunity in other states.

Our politicians give good speeches, though.

And Obama, the best speak-er of all, is scheduled to give a farewell speech in Chicago on Jan. 10.

It’s not really a final fare-well. He won’t ever stop speak-

ing. It is what he does best: giving long, lyrical speeches about himself and his hopes and his dreams. The man is a great talker. Talking is the president’s one singular talent.

Yet for all his talk, he has no answers for Chicago, or for its failing institutions or for the blood running in the streets.

He hasn’t had any answers for Chicago for years.

Lately, all Chicago seems to have been is a prop for Obama. Now, though, Chicago is the place for a grand golf course near the proposed site of the temple of his presidency on the South Side.

Emanuel, his former chief of staff, knows what should be done. The mayor has been trying to push for tougher sen-tences for felons arrested with guns.

There has been much fancy talk from others about treating Chicago’s homicides as a public health problem. But you can’t put salve on a mother’s heart as she buries her child. And Emanuel is right about this: Putting repeat gun offenders into prison and keeping them there so they can’t kill inno-cents is the smart move.

Yet he can’t push as strongly as he should, because he’s done tremendous political damage to himself.

It was Emanuel’s City Hall that sat on that horrific Laquan McDonald police video showing the black teenager shot 16 times by a white cop until dead. That video was held until after his re-elec-tion. Voters, particularly black voters, were angry, and now Emanuel is seeking another term and hoping Chicago will forget.

The mayor insists that he had nothing to do with the video being held until after his election. But somebody at City Hall did. And he runs City Hall.

And now he can’t very

well publicly pressure black lawmakers to take the lead on stronger gun sentenc-ing laws. So he’s sent police Superintendent Eddie Johnson out to beg them to stand up to the gangs in their neigh-borhoods. But Eddie isn’t the mayor.

“Is there a sickness in the city of Chicago?” KABC-AM radio host Doug McIntyre in Los Angeles asked me about the Trump tweet and the homicides in Chicago and the politics.

Of course there is a sick-ness, an old infection that has festered over decades and decades of corrupt political machine rule.

It has festered through Outfit (outsiders call it Mafia) influence at City Hall and top echelons of the Police Department. It has festered through a public education system where unions, vendors

and political clout take pre-cedence over students. And it has festered through the long-accepted use of street gangs as election muscle.

So what do Americans see in the tolling of Chicago’s dead, and the inability of public offi-cials to stop the killings?

If they look close, they’ll see it for what it is: the result of our politics over time.

monitored cast iron. This means (that American and British agencies) NSA and GCHQ know Assange’s social network and therefore all those involved in WikiLeaks. They too are monitored cast iron. So there is no excuse for NSA/GCHQ not knowing when and who sent the data to WikiLeaks — that is, if it were the result of a hack. If the data came from an insider, then NSA would not necessarily have any evidence in their collection.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin took the high road and didn’t respond in kind to the Cold War-style expulsion of Russian intelligence officers operating conventionally under diplomatic cover who, as the White House admitted, had nothing to do with any purported election hacking.

President-elect Donald Trump proclaimed Putin’s reaction to be “very smart.”

Even if any of the alleged election tampering could be reliably attributed to a foreign government, international law probably wouldn’t con-sider it a violation of the prin-ciple of nonintervention. Any such intrusion usually must involve the use of coercion, with the precedent being the International Court of Justice’s 1986 decision in Nicaragua v. United States, condemning the U.S. for violating the sover-eignty of Nicaragua and inter-fering in the country’s affairs by supporting the Contras against the government.

NATO’s Tallinn Manual on International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare considers the spreading of false news in favor of a particular party in an election to be a potential viola-tion of the principle of non-intervention. In other words:

anything that results in spread-ing of lies to citizens. However, in the case of the Democratic National Committee breach, only the truth was spread — in the DNC members’ own words via the publishing of their internal communications.

“The decisive test remains coercion,” according to the Tallinn Manual. So are there any Americans who feel that they were strong-armed into voting for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton? Doubtful. Although there might be a few who are tired of the Obama administration’s own attempt at manipulating its citizens on this issue.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah hunter trapped overnight in a blizzard dug himself into the snow to survive before searchers found him by spot-ting his rifles stuck into the ground, police said.

Trevor Valentine, 38, remained hospitalized in seri-ous condition Friday after he tried to hike to a road when his pickup truck got stuck in the remote, mountainous area near the Idaho border, accord-ing to the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office.

Buffeted by blowing snow and a wind-chill temperature that dipped to minus 25, he dug a small hole for himself and crawled inside.

The spot was nearly invis-ible by the time winds had died down enough for crews to search the area Thursday, sheriff’s Chief Deputy Dale Ward said.

“The snow had drifted over him,” he said. “The poor guy was frozen.”

Sharp-eyed search and rescue crews spotted his rifles

stuck straight up in the ground and dug down to find him, Ward said.

Valentine was awake and spoke with searchers who tried to relieve symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia as a medical helicopter crew worked to land in the windy weather.

Valentine had gone hunting Wednesday west of Snowville and texted his wife that eve-ning to say his truck was stuck.

He decided to hike three miles to a state road to meet her but never made it, so his family called police.

Search and rescue crews got to the area near Wildcat Mountain that night but were stymied by blizzard conditions and drifting snow. They start-ed again at sunrise and found him a few hours later.

Valentine, who lives in nearby Weber County, seemed to know the area but may have been overtaken as fast-chang-ing weather blanketed the area with snow, Ward said.

He was dressed for the

cold, but wasn’t prepared for a night in temperatures that the National Weather Service said reached minus 4.

OBITUARIES

Brent “Rocky” Lee Peterson

Brent “Rocky” Lee Peterson passed away on Jan. 5, 2017, one day after his 68th birth-day, surrounded by his family in Grantsville, Utah. Brent was born to Wesley Alvin and Alice Wrathall Peterson on Jan. 4, 1949, during a heavy snow-storm. The story the family always told was that he was almost born on the road to Tooele on Rocky Ridge, so his family always fondly referred to him as “Rocky”. In true Rocky form, he followed the tradition by leaving us during a heavy snowstorm. He partici-pated in football and baseball in high school, and was an all-region football player in his senior year. He always liked having “good times” with his high school buddies “Dude,” “Orbit” and Bob, and brothers Wylie and Errol. It can never be said he didn’t enjoy life.

After graduating from Grantsville High, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and completed his basic training in Fort Lewis, Washington. He was selected to be a paratrooper in the 82nd and 101st Airborne and completed his training in Fort

Bragg, North Carolina. He served in the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, where he fought val-iantly for his country, receiv-ing two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star.

Brent was a master welder and worked for Utah Power and Light for 25 years. Later in life, he worked for Dave Christensen, where he made many fond memories and great friends.

He married Sheryl Wright and was the father of Nicholas (Vikki) Peterson, Camille (Kenny) Curtis and Alison (Nick) Crosby. They later

divorced and he married Susan Rasmussen and was the father of Parker (Cassie) Peterson and the loving step-father of Brooke, Josh and Jamie. They later divorced.

Brent had many good friends from the very young to the very old. He never met anyone that he wouldn’t have given the “shirt off his back.” He was giving, loving, loyal and generous to a fault and is going to be missed by many, especially his four-legged pal “Gus.”

Rocky is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Errol and sister-in- law Peggy Peterson. He is survived by his older sister Lyda Gay “Gidy” (Roger) Hammond, his brother Wylie (Karla) Peterson, his children and his grandchildren Kaylie (Treavor) Buhl, Melissa (Kyle) Knight, Mackenzie Fait, Ashlynn and Paige Peterson, Olivia and Sophia Crosby, Kynlee and Baylor Peterson and great-grandsons Trig and Tripp Buhl.

Services were held Tuesday, Jan. 10 at the Grantsville West Stake Center. Interment followed at Grantsville City Cemetery.

Juniata Kramer Hopkins, age 86, of Tooele, Utah, passed away on Jan. 4, 2017, in Salt Lake City, Utah. June was born in Delta, Utah, to Loren and Diana Kramer on Sept. 22, 1930. She attended school in Tooele and worked at the Tooele Army Depot, prior to moving to Okinawa, Japan. She was involved in Beta Sigma Phi and St. Marguerite Catholic Church. All her sib-lings, Charles, George, Lorin, Betty, Madeline and Loreen, precede June in death. Her three children Debbie, David and Michael and three grand-children survive her. No ser-

vices are scheduled. The family of June wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Inspiration Hospice.

Wayne H. (Punch) Christiansen

Wayne H. (Punch) Christiansen was called to his Heavenly Father on Jan. 9, 2017. He was born on Oct. 28, 1937, in White Pine County, Ely, Nevada, to Byron Ray Christiansen Sr. and LaVerne Grantham. He was the fifth of six children and lived in Cherry Creek, Nevada, on the family ranches. When Wayne was 4, the family moved to Tooele, Utah, for work. During this time, Wayne contracted the dreaded polio disease, which left him with many chal-lenges in his life. He missed out on many childhood activi-ties because he had to learn how to walk, talk and regain the use of one arm after recov-ering from polio. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Wayne attended church with his fam-ily and went to school while living in Tooele.

Making up for lost time and with the help of his older brother Max, Wayne decided to try his hand at boxing. Max was a professional AAU boxer and was able to help Wayne overcome the physical effects caused from polio. He won several matches including the Golden Gloves and this is where he earned the nickname “Punch.” Everyone that knows him seems to have a “Punchy” story. The rodeo was another interest that Wayne had and he and a couple of friends decided

that they would give it a try. Riding bulls wasn’t easy, but Wayne loved the challenge.

In Tooele, Wayne met and married Helen Marie Copley. Wayne was a skilled brick mason and taught his two oldest sons the trade. He enjoyed watching the children and grandchildren as they participated in various activi-ties. He also had a passion for the desert, sleeping under the stars, trapping and chas-ing the wild horses, cutting Christmas trees, picking pine nuts, hunting and prospect-ing. He loved getting together with family and friends for dutch oven cookouts and that is when he seemed to be the happiest. There was something he wanted, and that was for him and Helen to be remarried after many years of being sepa-rated. That was accomplished on Nov. 1, 2016, and that was a joyous occasion for the whole

family. Cancer would be the last battle that Wayne wouldn’t win, but it gave him the oppor-tunity to spend time with his family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, mother, brother Max Christiansen, sister Echo Hampton and many other close family members and friends. He is survived by the love of his life Helen Christiansen; daughters Toni (Danny) Dickman, Vicki (Keith) Cordova and Amy (Rick) Palmer; sons Byron (Bud) Christiansen, Bill (DeAnn) Christiansen, Clint (Kristi) Christiansen and James Ashley, 19 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. He is also survived by his brothers Byron Ray (Nina) Christiansen and Douglas (Pat) Christiansen; sister LaNile (Floyd) Bracken and sister in-law Jane (John) Copley.

Thank you to the Huntsman Center and Rocky Mountain Hospice for all their special care. Services will be held on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2017, at the LDS Stake Center located at 115 E. Cherry Street, Grantsville, Utah. Visitation will be held from 10 a.m.-noon prior to the funeral services which will be held at 12:30 p.m. Interment will follow at the Grantsville Cemetery. Services under the direction of Didericksen Memorial, 435-277-0050.

Scott E. PetersonScott E. Peterson passed

away Jan. 5, 2017. He was born Dec. 4, 1961, in Price, Utah, to Carl E. Peterson and Sharon Lyn (Laird) Peterson. Scott was a loving father and son.

Scott is survived by his two children, James and Jessica Peterson, and his moth-er Sharon (Laird) Peterson. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2017, at 11 a.m. at Tate Mortuary (110 S. Main Street). A viewing will be held one hour prior to the

Party, while trying a shortcut to

California, passed through the what would become Tooele County and nearly perished in the Great Salt Lake Desert. Three years later, a handful of Mormon pioneer families left Salt Lake Valley and built a meager encampment in Settlement Canyon above today’s Tooele City. Soon, others followed, and a community emerged on the edge of the Great Basin frontier that was populated by individualistic and energetic settlers who managed to thrive in an environment fraught with hardship. Their story, and many others, are found inside this History of Utah’s Tooele County. Learn about how the pioneers ingeniously built their lives in the wilderness; the wild mining days in Ophir, Mercur and Jacob City; the Pony Express Trail; the glorious beaches and resorts along the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake, and more.

MATTERS OF FAITH

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

The New Year has come and with it the Christmas season of 2016 has

passed. For many this marks a transition from celebrating the birth of Jesus to preparations for celebrating His resurrec-tion from the dead after being crucified.

While I am all for observing Easter as part of the Christian calendar, I want to propose to you that the Bible provides a practice for us to celebrate the birth, death, burial, resurrec-tion, ascension, and imminent return on a regular basis.

This Sunday, Jan. 15, the church I serve will observe The Lord’s table/communion as part of the regular worship service. In the service, I will

read from 1 Corinthians 11 at various stages. At the end of the service, I will read verse 26: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”

It would be difficult to par-ticipate in such a service if the death, resurrection and ascen-sion of Jesus were not real events. In order to explain the significance of Jesus’ death and resurrection to the Christian faith, it is necessary to present the historical facts of His death, His empty tomb, His post-mor-tem appearances, as well as the transformation of His disciples.

In the interest of prudence consideration will also be given to alternative naturalistic explanations to include a deter-

mination of which of these offers the greatest challenge to Believers with a proposed response to this particular chal-lenge.

Although there are some who propose alternate hypoth-eses to the results of the cross, the death of Jesus by cruci-fixion is normally held to be a well-established historical fact. In support of this conclusion are the issues of there being enough chronological time for Jesus to expire on the cross, that the weakened state of the Lord physically would contrib-ute to His death, and that the desired result of crucifixion was the death of the one cruci-fied.

In addition to agreeing that Jesus indeed died from cruci-fixion, scholars likewise agree He was buried in a known loca-tion, namely the unused tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. This known location is important as it allows for the disciples to later make the claim the same

tomb was empty and allow for investigation/corroboration by others.

Further, it allows that the authorities would have been able to present the body of Jesus as a refutation of His res-urrection if it still remained in the known tomb. Finally, there are hundreds of eyewitnesses of Jesus following His death and burial. The Apostle John makes reference to at least three post-mortem appearanc-es of the Lord to the disciples in his Gospel (John 20:19-23; 20:26-29; 21:1-25).

The Apostle Paul gives what may be the most comprehen-sive account of these appear-ances of Jesus in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 which includes an appearance by Jesus to 500 of His followers at one time! The significance of Paul’s claim is that he goes on to say many of these eyewitnesses remain alive to the time of his writ-ing, thus he supplies ability to check his story.

Following the resurrection and subsequent ascension of Christ there is a marked change in the attitudes and activities of His followers on earth. There seems to be a pair of symbiotic reasons behind this change, especially in those followers who were also apostles.

The first of these reasons is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit indwelling the disciples as was promised by Christ specifically in Acts 1:4-5. The second is the ministry activities of not only these men but apparently those who might be counted in the 500 of 1 Corinthians 15:6. This sec-ond aspect is readily reviewed in that any student of history is able to trace a change in activity to the extent that these men proclaimed Jesus as Lord/Messiah/Christ to the detri-ment of their mortal lives.

So what we have is an opportunity of sorts to have Easter each and every time we take part in The Lord’s Table/

Communion. It may not come with egg hunts, baskets of treats, fancy dresses and little boys in bow-ties; but it was commanded by Jesus before His crucifixion.

We can know this is true by looking to the Holy Bible in Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:14-23 and 1 Corinthians 11:24-25. That, my friends, should be a reason to rejoice not only His birth, but that He lived in perfect obedi-ence, died a horrible death in our place, and then refused to remain in the tomb, resur-rected Himself, and sits at the right hand of the Father until His return.

You don’t have to wait for Christmas and Easter to wor-ship the Triune God; it can happen any given Sunday or any day for that matter — and it should.

GUEST COLUMNIST

PHOENIX (AP) — President Barack Obama has decided against creating a national monument covering areas of public land around Grand Canyon National Park, an Arizona congressman said Friday.

Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva said White House Council on Environmental Quality officials told him of the decision during a meeting earlier this week.

The White House, given an opportunity to dispute Grijalva’s statement that he’d been informed Obama wouldn’t approve the monu-ment, declined to comment Friday.

Grijalva supported creation of the proposed monument and said he’s disappointed by Obama’s decision but will continue efforts to protect the environment in the 2,650-square-mile area.

The monument proposal had support from American

Indian tribes and environmen-tal groups. It was opposed by business interests, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona’s two GOP senators.

“I won’t rest until the inau-guration, but that is big, good news if that is the case,” Sen. Jeff Flake told The Associated Press Friday. “They had not done the proper consultation with the local stakeholders here.

“It was opposed by most Arizonans, it violated the agreement that was made back in the 1980s that Sen. (John) McCain was very much a part of and Mo Udall, and Barry Goldwater and others to set aside wilderness areas but not shut off all economic activities,” Flake said. “So this is big and a good thing for the state of Arizona if it’s not hap-pening.

The area proposed for the Grand Canyon monument consists of public land with towering cliffs and canyons,

grasslands, forest and desert that is popular with hunters and hikers.

The area also included 1 million acres rich in uranium ore where new mining claims are banned through 2032. A monument proposal would have made that ban perma-nent.

Some advocates of the mon-ument had said they remained hopeful after Obama, who leaves office on Jan. 20, cre-ated new monuments in Utah and Nevada in December under authority of the 1906 Antiquities Act.

Grijalva said designating the Grand Canyon monument could have helped fend off possible congressional moves against the Antiquities Act’s presidential power to desig-nate monuments.

“If we’re going to have a fight about the Antiquities Act ...then let’s have it over the Grand Canyon because I think that would bring huge national

attention to that fight,” he said during a telephone interview.

Grijalva said he also wanted the designation to make per-manent a moratorium already imposed on uranium mining near the canyon.

Flake and Sen. John McCain said after the Utah and Nevada monument designations that Obama “seems to have heard the message that Arizonans are not on board with plans for Washington to lock-up another 1.7 million acres in our state.”

The Arizona senators said in an October letter to Obama that the proposed Grand Canyon monument would have locked away an area larger than Delaware “from hunting, livestock, wildfire prevention, mining, and cer-tain forms of outdoor recre-ation and tourism.”

The senators also said a monument designation won’t help combat a lingering drought and could prevent thinning of forests and stop

hunters from keeping wildlife populations in check.

Ducey threatened to sue or work to get Congress to rescind a monument designa-tion. He said Arizona already has enough national monu-ments.

Grijalva had introduced legislation seen as a blueprint

for a monument, specifically allowing hunting, fishing, grazing and recreation to continue. It also would allow timber harvesting as part of a forest thinning or other resto-ration project.

Monuments, however, have added federal reviews for those activities.

Car shows are about more than just shiny sheet metal, big engines and fast hot rods. Car guys are known for their charitable efforts as well.

Tooele resident Dan Rouggly of Hot Rod Productions is proud to call himself a “car guy,” and proud to help out the community in any way he can by organizing car shows that help draw attention to various worthy causes throughout Tooele County.

“I could never volunteer as much as that stuff gives me,” said Rouggly, who expressed his admiration for the local busi-ness community that steps up to support his shows. “That’s what’s so cool – the community ... I might organize it all and get it in one parking lot, but otherwise, it’s our community.’

Rouggly organized the car shows at the annual Garden Tour and Stockton Days, as well as the Relay for Life and Trunk or

Treat. Trunk or Treat took place in the Albertsons parking lot at the end of October, draw-ing a large crowd despite bad weather.

That’s a far cry from one of Rouggly’s earliest car shows, which was a Friday night cruise night at American Burgers that he did at the urging of his “car friends.”

“The first show had eight cars and four of them were mine,” he said. “The last one I did there had 177 cars come through. We had them up and down the road and the side roads.”

In addition to organizing the shows, Rouggly also plays music during them as a disc jockey. He started off with just a boom box and a table and didn’t even have a microphone at first, forcing him to yell. Eventually, one of his fellow car buffs brought a trailer, and Rouggly upgraded his sound system. His work as a DJ has become a signature of local car shows, though he admits that he isn’t as much of a music buff.

“I know what what people like, I know what I like and I know how to find them, but if you went back and asked me right after I played a song, who played that?’ – ‘who do you think played it?’” he quipped.

Rouggly said it takes a lot of work and a lot of help to make one of his shows work. He couldn’t do it without his many sponsors who donate food, prizes and other services – with some even willing to host his events. In addition to Albertsons, Rouggly played music at a Mother’s Day event at the Shammy Shack with free food and car washes for moth-ers.

The Utah Truck Mafia car club brought roughly 40 cars to Trunk or Treat, and also did Sub for Santa to provide Christmas to several families. Rusty’s Redneck Garage and Type 1 Racing also have made notable contributions to several causes.

“There’s a lot of people in this community who do good things they don’t people to know about, but I’m going to tell everybody,” Rouggly said. “People need to know.”

Rouggly, a father of two, knows the value of contributing to charitable causes, particu-larly those related to medical research. His daughter, Alex, has cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects the lungs and diges-tive system. They moved to Tooele from Alaska in 2007 to be closer to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, where Alex could receive the best treatment.

“Twenty years ago, the life expectancy was six to 10 years old, but in the last 20 years it’s become mid-to-late 30,” Rouggly said. “They’re doing a lot of stuff. CF is a digestive disease and a lung disease. The cells in their pancreas actu-ally have holes in them and won’t allow them to absorb any nutrients. That’s why they used to die so young – they’d die of malnutrition.”

Cystic fibrosis poses a num-

ber of challenges. Alex has to wear a special vest twice a day that gently shakes her to help keep her lungs clear, and she has to be kept separate from other children with CF so they don’t get each other sick. But Alex,, who recently got her driver’s license, is doing extremely well health-wise. She can be seen posing for pictures in the 1950s “pin-up” style at car shows, and got to travel to Beverly Hills to record a few songs and receive the full celeb-rity treatment thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“She’s doing great,” Dan Rouggly said. “She’s probably the healthiest CF kid they’ve ever seen. And she’s got the worst case.”

Dan Rouggly said Alex used to come with him when he worked in a soup kitchen in Alaska, which may have helped boost her immune system.

“She started going with me to feed the homeless when she was a week old,” he said. “They would kiss her hand or touch her cheek or kiss her forehead, some of them would hold her. She wasn’t diagnosed until she was two, and if we would have known, we would have put her in a bubble. She was around the worst germs, and I think it build her immune system a lot.

“She was sitting in the car sear on the table while I was cooking and handing out the food from the beginning. She tasted her first soup when she was about a month old – she was sucking it off my finger. To this day, soup is her favorite. When she was two, she was at the muffin window, handing out muffins.”

Dan Rouggly hopes that spirit of giving back and help-ing out sticks with his daughter for the rest of her life.

“It doesn’t take that much to make a difference,” he said. “If nothing else, if my daughter comes out with that attitude, I’ve done my job.”[email protected]

Chalk TalkBy Ed Dalton

Wonder is an extremely powerful motivator in the learning process.

The Tooele Education Foundation with the help of two great partners – Cargill and Morton Salt – is providing an enrichment opportunity in ten elementary schools for more than 6,000 students each month. The program is named Children’s Nutrition – Fruits for Kids.

Once each month, a shipment of not-so-common fruit is delivered to elementary schools so that the children experience it. In the hands of gifted teachers the following teaching begins to happen.

Teachers introduce the fruit, students learn about the fruit (science), where it comes from (geography), how it improves ones health (nutrition) and they get to experience the taste of a rare fruit. We learn best by experience.��

Victor Weisskopf taugh this concept – He said, “students cannot learn by having

informationpressed into their brains.Knowledgehas to be pulled into the brain because the student wants it in.First, one must create a state of mind that craves knowledge,interest and a sense of wonder. One can teach only by creating an urge to know.” (adapted from Educating for Human Greatness by Lynn Stoddard, 2010) This is excellent guidance to every teacher and parent striving to instill a sense of wonder and the desire to learn in children.

In order to help students crave knowledge, we need to expose students to a multitude of exciting things to learn about.These exciting things are everywhere and we often take them for granted. Such is the case with a piece of fruit. Where does it come from? How and why was

it developed? What does it taste like?

When students want to know they begin to seek, read, talk about, observe, experiment, ask questions and experience the topic. Learning is deeper, remembering

better and learning increases. In order to make such an

adventure happen, it takes the help of many. In this case, Cargill and Morton Salt for providing funding to obtain the fruit. Thanks to these special businesses for being so generous and supportive.

The school food services program for ordering the fruits and administering the program and the school lunch ladies for preparing and distributing the fruit. Thanks to teachers for welcoming the opportunity and presenting it in an enthusiastic manner. Such an effort takes help from principals, sometimes PTA leaders are involved.

Once again – team work at its best. TEF would like to ring its education bell for all those working so hard to make this program a success. Thanks to everyone for helping rare fruits create a sense of wonder and improve nutrition in children.

of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. “The magnitude of the current event is a bit exceptional, to have a swing of 20-to-30 degrees doesn’t happen very often.”

The modest heat wave con-tinued on Monday with the temperature topping out at a high of 52 degrees.

Colder weather is predicted to return for the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Regardless of temperature swings, precipitation the past six days eclipsed the normal precipitation for January. Tooele received 1.16 inches of precipitation the past six days compared to the monthly average of 1.07 inches. Tooele received 11 inches of snowfall the past six days with normal snowfall for all of January at 12.7 inches.

While the valley received

rain, snow continued to pile up in the mountains. Julander reported that Snotel sites cur-rently are ahead of schedule. Rocky Basin in Settlement Canyon is 135 percent of nor-mal with Mining Fork in the

Stansbury Mountains at 171 percent of normal. Vernon Creek is nearly double the average snowpack at 182 per-cent of normal.

If high precipitation num-bers persist, there is plenty of

storage space in area reser-voirs. Vernon Reservoir is at 22 percent capacity, Settlement Canyon at 30 percent capacity and Grantsville Reservoir at 17 percent [email protected]

When it comes to educa-tion, Tooele County has a higher percentage of high school graduates, but a lower percentage of four-year college graduates, according to the survey.

Statewide 91.2 percent of the population over 25 are high school graduates com-pared to Tooele County’s 92.4 percent of high school gradu-ates.

However, only 24.1 percent of the county’s residents over the age of 25 hold a bachelor’s degree or higher while 33.1 percent of the statewide popu-lation holds at least a bache-lor’s degree.

Agewise, Tooele County is one of the younger counties in Utah. Its average age of 30.7 ranks 20 out of the state’s 29 counties, the survey states.

Family households are households that consist of the householder and at least one other person who is related by birth, marriage or adoption to the householder, according to the Census Bureau.

Tooele County has a higher percentage of family house-holds than is found statewide or nationwide, according to the survey.

In Tooele County, 79.7 per-cent of all households fit the Census Bureau definition of a family household, compared to 75 percent statewide and 66.1 percent nationwide.

Marriage is also popular in Tooele County with 64.9 percent of the county’s house-holds with a married couple compared to 61.2 percent in

Utah and 48.3 percent nation-wide, the survey shows.

Looking at housing instead of households, 52 percent of housing units in Tooele County were built in the 20 years between 1990 and 2009, according to the survey.

People who live in 800 — or 4.3 percent — of Tooele County’s housing units have no vehicle available to them for transportation while 6,239 — or 33.5 percent — of the county’s housing units have three or more vehicles.

The median value of a owner occupied home in Tooele County was $177,700 with the homeowner paying a median mortgage of $1,304 monthly, according to the survey. Statewide the median home was worth $215,900. The median monthly mortgage was $1,428 statewide.

The American Community Survey replaced the long form decennial census form starting with the 2000 U.S. Census. It provides demographic data

that is used by federal, state and local governments for planning purposes, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The 2015 five-year ACS contains the most reliable demographic data the U.S. Census Bureau provides on

Tooele County, according to the Census Bureau. [email protected]

$191,033,693. Caldwell said that sales tax

revenue has been flat the past few years. Winn pointed out that people still drive to Salt Lake County for purchases, and internet sales have cut into retail sales throughout the country.

Dunlavy emphasized that city leaders will continue to push economic development to generate more sales tax revenue. “This council and previous councils understand finance,” he said. “Their main focus is to not raise taxes.”

The audit states that the respective changes in financial

position, the respective bud-getary comparison for the gen-eral fund, and major special revenue funds and cash flows, ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

According to the audit, sales tax generated 31 percent of revenues with property taxes at 23 percent, charges for ser-vices 16 percent, franchise and other taxes 11 percent, grants and contributions 10 percent and miscellaneous 9 percent.

Jensen compared Tooele City to a company with assets totaling $250 million. The audit shows that Tooele cut its expenditures by nearly $2 million. In 2015, the net figure came in around $83.6 million, but dipped to $81.3 million in

2016.Tooele’s business-type activi-

ties were up nearly $3 million from $106.9 million net posi-tion in 2015 to $109.7 million net position in 2016. These are enterprise funds such as water, sewer and solid waste departments that are paid for through fees.

Dunlavy said he is extremely satisfied with recent improve-ments to the city’s infrastruc-ture to accommodate for future residential and business growth.

The report states that Tooele’s general fund increased by $950,305 as a result of the .25 percent transporta-tion tax that began April 1, 2016. The report also shows that the unassigned fund bal-

ance for the general fund was $3,009,790, or 18.24 percent of total general fund expendi-tures.

The report included a page of notes about litigation in regard to a Tooele City lease agreement with Vernon Ranch Management (see related front-page story). There’s also a pending claim by a person riding a motorcycle who was injured when he was struck by a police car and suffered injuries. In October the city settled on a $29,000 claim against the city for defamation of character.

“You have taken a few hits with lawsuits, but have dealt with those in a responsible way,” Jensen [email protected]

Grantsville head coach Bryan Detweiler was a little less displeased with his team’s turnover stat from the 63-47 loss at home to Juan Diego on Friday.

At least on the surface, and only compared to the team’s season average.

“I don’t think the [Juan Diego] pressure was there fully the second half,” Detweiler said. “We’ve got to do a better job of attacking gaps in the zone.”

The stifling and ever-changing Juan Diego press helped account for 14 turn-overs — mostly in the first half when the game was still in question — compared to the previous season average of 17.86.

The Soaring Eagle used at least four different full-court pressure schemes in the first quarter alone, including a 2-2-1, diamond, man-to-man and first-pass trap. With the athletic forwards and tall guards on the Juan Diego ros-ter, the visitors jumped out to a 10-5 lead midway through the first quarter.

“We try to really mix it up and keep them guessing between a zone full-court press and a man full-court press,” Juan Diego head coach Drew Trost said. “Then teams start making back-to-back mistakes and it just kind of snowballs.”

When senior guard JD Ahlstrom hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give Juan Diego an 18-5 lead with 3:10 to go in the period, they were the first of his team’s buckets outside of 10 feet from the hoop.

Ahlstrom finished with a game-high 18 points, making 4-of-7 attempted 3-pointers

while dishing out five assists.Senior forward Steven

Price added another 16 points and three steals.

“We just couldn’t get any stops,” Detweiler said.

The Cowboys started with a different lineup than normal: senior center Trevor Colson, junior guard Ryan Potter, senior forward Jared Roberts, junior forward Brady Arbon and senior power forward Gavin Eyre.

“We were just trying to look at maybe creating some mismatches with bringing the basketball up, and see if we could get our offense a little bit cleaner this game, under-standing that Juan Diego has really good guard play,” Detweiler said.

Colson had a team-high 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting with six rebounds and four assists. He hit a jump shot midway through the fourth quarter and scored an and-one on the next possession to pull the Cowboys to a 59-41 deficit, and Grantsville eventually narrowed the margin to 16.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Hank” is 14 years old and has arthritis. I’m wor-ried about walking him in the snow this winter. Last year, his legs and paws were too sensitive for boots, so I used to put little socks on his paws and cover them with plastic sandwich bags tied with rubber bands. That worked well, but last winter I couldn’t get them on him

because his legs and paws, especially the front ones, hurt too much. I’ve tried to train him to go on training pads inside the house, and he does so occasionally. However, he is adamant about going outside in the morning! — Lauren G., via e-mail

DEAR LAUREN: I know you’ve heard me and others recommend booties for dogs going out in freezing, icy con-ditions, but in this case I think you should defer to your dog’s judgment.

Hank really wants to go outside, and he really does not want to wear booties. I have a feeling that he is shifting his weight around and adjusting his paws when he’s in the unfa-miliar little booties, and that

shifting and extra movement can exacerbate his arthritis.

If it is not super-cold outside (like, below zero), and Hank has clear stretches of sidewalk, he should be just fine with a short walk each morning to do his business. Try putting a dog-gie vest around him to keep his core temperature up, if he’ll tolerate it.

Immediately after his walk, after he sits or lies down in a warm spot, check his paws for cuts or cold spots, and keep an eye on him to make sure he’s warm enough and relatively comfortable.

A: It will indeed. Word just came down that Amazon has green lighted a third season of the alternate-reality apocalyp-tic drama. “As timely as ever, the exploration of characters at a dark point for human-ity has provided incredible stories for two seasons,” Joe Lewis, Amazon Studios head of comedy and drama, said in a statement. “Eric (Overmyer, season-three showrunner and executive producer) and his team are doing an incred-ible job crafting stories about the inner lives of those who struggle to do good in a world that is not.”

As of this writing, NBC and other cast members had neither confirmed nor denied his state-ment.

A: Little glass shoes were made in hundreds of styles, shapes and colors. They were a favorite of Victorian-era col-lectors and cluttered parlors throughout the country, espe-cially during the early decades of the past century. One of the better guides is “Collectible Shoes of Glass,” by Earlene Wheatley and published by Collector Books.

A: Most VCR tapes sell in the $1 to $3 range. Values depend on several factors, including condition, rarity and collect-ability. There are always excep-tions. For example, some VCR tapes are worth several hundred dollars each, including such titles as “Evil Dead,” “Savage Intruder,” “Back for Revenge,” “Dr. Frankenstein’s Castle of Freaks,” “Petrodactyl Woman”

TELL ME A STORY

‘One Boy’s Dream’(An Ojibwa Indian Legend)

adapted by Amy Friedman and illustrated by Meredith Johnson

Once upon a time there was an Objibwa boy named Opeechee. When he came of age, it was time for his dream fast,

a time for him to go out into the forest on his own. There, as he fasted, he would wait for his spirit guide to come to him. It was a tradition of his people.

Opeechee’s father was a proud man, and he wished for his son to become a great war-rior. So eager was he for this that he could not wait for the traditional time of fasting, when warmth returned to the land and the snows had melted.

“You are strong enough to endure the cold,” his father told Opeechee. “The cold winds will give you strength and will make your visions clearer. You must go now and prove how strong you are.”

Opeechee was a good son, and all his life he had worked to please his father. Though the weather was freezing cold, the grounds covered with snow and the winds fierce, he did not wish to let his father down now. And so he followed his father into the forest. At the top of a hill, they quickly built a makeshift lodge. His father gave Opeechee a deerskin.

“Wrap yourself in this and sleep and fast,” he said. “I will come to you each morning. Dream well, my son.” And with those words he turned and walked back home.

That night was bitterly cold. All night long Opeechee shivered, but he watched and waited attentively. At midnight a deer came and spoke to him.

In the morning when his father returned, he asked his son, “What did you see?”

Opeechee spoke of the deer. “Is this my spirit guide?” he asked.

His father shook his head. “You will have a greater vision still. But you must wait and watch and listen closely.”

He returned to his lodge and left Opeechee in the falling snow. At midnight a beaver came and spoke to him.The next morning Opeechee’s father returned and once again asked his son what he had seen.

“A beaver came to me,” Opeechee said. “He taught me a song. I will sing it to you, and you can tell me if this is my spirit guide.”

His father shook his head. “Stay longer, Son. You will gain more power.”

He walked back home, leaving Opeechee shivering and hungry.

For the next four days Opeechee waited and watched. Each morning his father returned to ask what he had seen. Opeechee told him of his nighttime visitors — a badger, a crow, a squirrel, a rabbit. He was growing thinner and weaker, for he had not eaten in six days, and the weather was growing colder still.

But each day his father said, “Wait and watch. You will have a great vision.”

At dawn on the seventh morning, Opeechee’s mother insisted that she go into the forest with her husband.

“I am worried about our son,” she said. “I want to see him and know how he is doing.”

And so they walked into the forest together. As they climbed to the top of the hill to the makeshift lodge where their son slept and dreamed, they heard a sound unlike any they had ever heard before. It was a bird singing.

“What is that?” Opeechee’s mother asked. “It sounds like the bird is calling my son’s name.”

The father shook his head, but he began to walk more quickly. As they approached the lodge, the father called, “Son, it is time to end your fast and come home. Your mother and I have come to guide you back.”

He waited for Opeechee to answer, but no answer came. The parents bent down and peered inside the lodge, and as they did, a gray-and-black bird with a bright red chest flew out, calling, “Opee-chee, Opee-chee ...”

The mother began to weep, for she under-stood right away. “It is my son,” she sobbed, as

the bird flew onto a branch above them. Then the bird began to speak.“Mother and Father, I am transformed into

this bird because you sent me away too early. You no longer have a son, for you asked too much of me. But every spring I will return to visit you, and when I return, I will sing. My

song will let parents know when it is time to send their boys on a dream fast. It will be a time when the warmth returns, the snow melts and the air is fragrant again.”

And with those words, the bird flew away into the forest to await spring.

MONDAY’S WARM COCOA

Julie directed me to sit on the side of a massage table with the lower part of my

legs hanging over the edge. The edge of the table felt snug against the back of my knees.

“Now, flex your foot at the ankle and lift your leg,” she said and then walked away.

I began the exercise by lift-ing one leg and then the other. Soon I was swinging my legs to enjoy the benefits of momen-tum.

“What are you doing!” Julie yelled from across the room. “This isn’t about momentum! It’s about building strength!”

But it wasn’t all about strength for me at the moment. My natural knee had been removed two weeks earlier, so momentum was sorely lacking in my life. It felt good to feel a “wind at my back” momentum

once again. At the same time, I understood exactly what Julie was trying to teach me. She was giving voice to what life teaches constantly.

Momentum makes us feel good, almost invincible at times. If your experience is like mine, you’ve come to love “wind at my back” moments. They’re a welcome respite to life’s daily challenges. Still, such challenges always end momentum sooner than we’d like and often leave us feeling discouraged and leaden.

At this moment, my surgi-cally challenged joint was feel-

ing painfully leaden. I began to lift the leg slowly. Julie looked over and nodded.

“That’s it!” she said. “Concentrate on building strength. When you’ve restored the strength to your leg, the rest will come naturally. Strength is everything.”

Strength is everything. It’s true for the body, mind and the spirit. It is internal strength that enables us to respond with resilience when challenged. It allows us to do and become more than we ever thought we could. So how do we develop internal strength?

Here’s what Julie taught me:First, put yourself in a frame

of mind. One of the principal purposes of life is to create per-sonal strength. Living your life with a focus on strength devel-opment will give you a decided

advantage. It means you’re not facing the unexpected. When you live life expectantly, your confidence and ability to perform critical mechanics is immeasurably enhanced.

Second, complete the mechanics correctly. When you do the mechanics correctly, you expend all of your energy for the best possible outcome. Additionally, focusing on the mechanics creates duplica-tive patterning, which means you will get the same result over and over again. That’s momentum! It allows you to use momentum as a tool rather than as a disrupter. Reoccurring positive results comes from practiced repetition.

Third, repeat it over and over again. Doing a thing once is luck. The ability to reproduce desired results is perfect repeti-

tion. It means that no matter what tries to disrupt your life, mood or goals, you’re muscle memory allows you to respond appropriately without hesita-tion. Another way to label repetition is predictability. Strength created through rep-etition enables you to predict a positive life outcome.

I finished the last set of leg lift repetitions. I could feel two things while still sitting on the side of the table: fatigue and

strength. My focus on creating strength was allowing me to feel a new kind of momentum. And, Julie made a prediction:

“Your strength to walk will return very soon,” she said. “Just remember to focus on cre-ating strength. Do the mechan-ics correctly and repeat if over and over again.”

There are 11,000 foot-high peaks, an inland sea, verdant valleys, and a mysterious desert with a bizarre expanse of white salt. The only people who knew about the place were the Native Americans who lived there, and a few white explorers during the early 1800s. But that all changed in September 1846. That year the Donner-Reed Party, while trying a shortcut to California, passed through the county and nearly perished in the Great Salt Lake Desert. Three years later, a handful of Mormon pioneer families left Salt Lake Valley and built a meager encampment in Settlement Canyon above today’s Tooele City. Soon, others followed, and a community emerged on the edge of the Great Basin frontier that was populated by individualistic and energetic settlers who managed to thrive in an environment fraught with hardship. Their story, and many others, are found

inside this History of

Utah’s Tooele County.Learn about how the pioneers ingeniously built their lives in the wilderness; the wild mining days in Ophir, Mercur and Jacob City; the Pony Express Trail; the glorious beaches and resorts along the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake, and more.

TUESDAY January 10, 2017B8 TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

DARREN VAUGHANCOMMUNITY NEWS EDITOR

Bruno Carneiro has already accomplished more at age 17 than many race-car drivers do in their entire career.

His latest accomplishment? The Riverton-based driver who calls Utah Motorsports Campus his home track piloted his UMC-sponsored car to the top spot in this year’s FIA China Formula 4 Championship season, winning eight times dur-ing the 15-race schedule that wrapped up Nov. 13 in Zhuhai, China.

“There were some big off-track things that helped, and obviously, the driving was good also,” Carneiro said. “It was a good combination. I grew a lot for sure, not only in my driving style and my abil-ity to drive quick, but I also learned a lot in understanding a car. Being able to have a full season in a car that was new to me — I got used to it, but it really helped me adapt to new cars and getting an overall feel for a race car.”

The season began in April and took Carneiro and his team to Chengdu, Beijing and Shanghai. His efforts were funded by UMC and supported by team manager William Lee, senior engineers Kent Stacy and Ian Lacy and a number of talented team mechanics.

“My success had a lot to do with the help I had off-track,” Carneiro said. “J.R. Smith of J.R. Smith Coaching helped me on the physical side with getting stronger to be able to drive the car harder for a longer period of time without losing the stamina. Fan sup-port and whatnot also really helped motivate me.”

One of Carneiro’s highlights came in Shanghai, where he won a race on the same track that hosts the Formula 1 Grand Prix of China. He also posted a victory and two sec-ond-place finishes during the final weekend of the season in Zhuhai, with the clinching win coming in dramatic fashion.

“All the wins were special in their own way,” he said. “I got a really good start [at Zhuhai], stayed in the draft and made a pass on the out-side and made it stick, which was good. I stayed in control of the race the whole way, nice and calm, and on the last lap, the guy in second made a really late move into the first

turn. "I was expecting a pass

from him [a few turns later], and sure enough, he popped out. I played him because I moved myself to the middle of the track and let him go to the inside. I braked sooner so he would overbrake and over-shoot the corner, and I did a crossover move. It was a really good battle.”

He had the opportunity to attend the Formula 1 Grand

Prix of Macau after winning his championship. He received his championship trophy dur-ing the FIA’s annual Prize Giving Gala in Vienna, where he had the opportunity to spend time with top drivers such as 2016 Formula 1 cham-pion Nico Rosberg and three-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, among oth-ers.

Carneiro’s China Formula 4 championship came on the

heels of his title in the 2016 Formula Car Challenge, where he won five times and posted three additional top-five fin-ishes in his Rodizio Grill-spon-sored Formula Pro Mazda for Ian Lacy Racing.

Carneiro is still in the pro-cess of finalizing his plans for 2017, and hopes to make a announcement in the near future. He plans to move up to the next level.

“Every year that you’re driv-

ing and every time you get in a car, your driving style and everything improves,” he said. “This year, being able to run two championships and get as much track time as I did in China helped me evolve on my feedback to the engineers on how my car was handling, and also I was able to find new limits and push myself and understand the limits of the race car.”[email protected]

ting there at the right part of the season.”

Stansbury had five wres-tlers win both their matches, led by 152-pounder Dawson Stewart’s two pins. He pinned Union’s Colby Hyder five sec-onds before the first-period buzzer, and finally finished off Grantsville’s Logan Hansen at the 4:30 mark of a grueling physical battle.

“There’s always more moti-

vation [in region matches] just because it’s a rivalry and you just want to be the best in the region,” Stewart said. “We’ve got a pretty solid team this year and I think we have a pretty solid chance of win-ning region. We need to keep finishing off these duals and see what happens against Park City and Tooele.”

Logan Gustafson was nearly as dominant at 145, earning a 17-0 tech fall over Union’s Arius Winterton and pinning Grantsville’s Koby Johnson 1:15 into their match. Josh Larsen (120 pounds) earned a 14-0 major decision against Union’s Colby Daniels and pinned Grantsville’s Chandler Soule in 1:27, while Jacob Medsker pinned Grantsville’s Logan Kuehn in 2:42 and earned a 19-6 major deci-sion against Union’s Dawson Winterton at 160 pounds.

Linnell was particualarly impressed by his 132-pounder, Anthony Herrera. Not only did Herrera score a 15-0 tech fall over Grantsville’s Matthew Merkey, but he knocked off a formidable foe in Jate Frost in a 9-4 overtime decision.

“Frost beat him four times last year — beat him in the semifinals at divisional and

beat him in the semifinals at state,” Linnell said. “Anthony got his revenge and beat him in this dual in overtime. I was real happy. He wrestled a great match. That was huge for Anthony.”

Walker Beck pinned Union’s Gabriel Alcocer at 182 pounds, and won by forfeit against Grantsville, and 113-pounder Danny Khoundet beat Union’s Bridger Green 7-4 in addi-tion to a forfeit win against Grantsville.

Other winners against Union included heavyweight Josh Witkowski, who pinned Nolan Bullethead in 4:41, and Jake Otero, who won by forfeit at 106.

Austin Woodhouse beat Grantsville’s Brayden Adams 9-3 at 138 pounds, and Calvin “Jebus” Mead was a forfeit winner at 220.

Grantsville, which lost to Union earlier in the evening, won four matches against Stansbury. The Cowboys’s Thomas Coates pinned Otero at the first-period buzzer, while 126-pounder Dwayne Perry pinned Abdullah Alhusainan at the 3:17 mark. Bronco Cloward held off Witkowski for a 5-3 decision in the heavyweight match,

and Seth Anderson overcame an illness for an 18-1 tech fall against Zachary Goodale.

“Seth was wrestling with the flu — he’s been sick the past two days,” Grantsville coach Clarence Evans said. “He didn’t even make practice [Wednesday], and I gave him the option of wrestling here and he was like, ‘I’ve got to. It’s a region match.’ He did really good and I was tickled with him and [Cloward]. They both really dug deep.”

Evans was pleased with the heart his team showed, noting that the tough competition will help his team prepare for the divisional and state tour-naments looming in February.

“The kids worked hard, they kept trying and they never gave up,” Evans said. “Even when they were down by a lot of points or in bad positions, they never quit trying and I was glad to see their heart there.”

Grantsville will play host to Tooele on Thursday night, while Stansbury hosts Park City. Both the Cowboys and Stallions will take part in the Best of the West Tournament on Friday and Saturday at Tooele High [email protected]
