Businesses throughout Tooele County gath-ered on September 14th for the Business Expo at the Tooele City Park to promote their line of work as well as provide a pleasurable experience for the commu-nity. The event was spon-sored by the Tooele County

Chamber of Commerce and Mountain America Credit Union and several other local businesses.

Starting at four in the eve-ning, local businesses such as Sports Depot, to big corpora-tions like Wal-Mart set up tents to display and advertise what they do. Every table was adorned with baskets

of treats to entice the expo-goers, as well as a cotton candy stand, games, and a feast from the Taste of Tooele County.

Tooele County has much to offer when it comes to local businesses and services. From child development to sign makers; every tent had something of interest. Com-

munity Nursing Services, a home health and hospice care facility, helps people with little to no money for grants, charitable care, as well as end of life care. On the other hand, DDI Vantage Early Head start serves low-income or pregnant individuals to provide comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services. Places like these have contributed to Tooele in a positive way economically, as well as emotionally. The community can strive further and focus on a better life.

The Tooele County Demo-crats displayed their efforts in their current attempt to Save the Stockton Sandbar. By making people more aware of the possible destructions in Stockton, the democrats may be able to stop the zon-ing changes from turning the unique sand bar into a gravel pit. When asked what their views were on buying locally, the activities chair, Hazel Reed, stated, We try to buy locally as much as possible. This leads us to another event held at the business expo.

Below please see the final results of the Tooele City Primary Election and the Grantsville City Primary Election. (For a precinct by precinct breakdown please go to www.co.tooele.ut.us/Clerk/Elections.htm, click on the Precinct Election Results link. Tooele City results are on the first page, Grants-ville City results are on the second page. While the turnout wasnt what wed hoped for, we were the 2nd highest reporting in the state as of election night.

There were a couple of things about this election that told me that you, as the voters, are engaged: 1) Many voters went onto the Clerks website to check the bios of their candidates. I know this because I was told that when they tried to get onto the web-site, they were unable to access it because too many people were accessing it. How exciting! By the way, the County IT Depart-ment has fixed that problem; 2) Many voters in Tooele City took advantage of the Vote Centers. They went to a polling locations that was different than their assigned location to vote. Great!; 3) People said they had forgotten to vote until they saw the Vote Today signs located around the cities. That makes the effort of putting them up the night before the election and taking them down election night worth the trouble!

Turn around time between Municipal Primarys and Municipal General Elections is very short. We have already finalized the ballots for the General Election and have ordered the by-mail ballots from the printer. Soon you will begin to see candidate signs going up again and reminders about Early Voting being published.

So enjoy the short respite, then get geared up to research, listen to campaign speeches and of course VOTE in the General Elec-tion, November 8, 2011!

YOURE NOT MADE OF MONEY,BUT YOUR HOUSE IS.

Come Together is a pact between local businesses and people within the community to help Tooeles economy, as well as the education system, by purchasing items from local companies and stores. Members from the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce, as well as other important additions to our town, like the mayor of Tooele, gathered on the stage to sign a pledge to the com-munity to buy locally.

This was a momentous day for many people in Tooele County, as everyone is constantly struggling to maintain a living. Residents in the community can now look forward and know that their local businesses will be supported more than before. By the end of the promo-tions and festivities, businesses were able to show off their spunk, open some wallets, and receive the recognition they deserved. Tooele County is growing into a bigger and better place where many more positive adjustments are be-ing made; the Business Expo supported just that.

Summer Sigritz is a student at Stansbury High School and is currently working with the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce as an intern.
