Fatal plane crash ignites forest fire

CEILLY SUTTONSTAFF WRITER

The Morgan Canyon Fire, near Hickman Canyon road in the Deseret Peak Wilderness Area, has been burning since Thursday evening.

Fire authorities have asked that those curious to stay away and let them do their job.

The fire was reported Thursday evening and was caused by an airplane that crashed, according to Sierra Hellstrom, U.S Forest Service representative.

“When the fire started, crews were dispatched imme-diately,” she said. “We have been in full suppression since the beginning of the fire. With the weather and wind, we have been having, and the drought, we are in full suppression.”

Since the fire began, crews have been fighting it by heli-copter and by hiking up to its location high in the mountains.

“The wilderness up there is very steep and rough and that’s why we’ve seen so much growth from this fire,” said

Plane crashes in Tooele County mountain areaCEILLY SUTTONSTAFF WRITER

A small plane crash in the Deseret Peak Wilderness area claimed the lives of two indi-viduals on Thursday night, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

The plane also started a fire as it came down that has burned over 157 acres so far.

The plane, a Piper PA-28-140, was capable of holding two to four individuals, accord-ing to NTSB officials.

The two people that were in the plane at the time of the crash died, according to the NTSB.

Fire and police officials have not identified the victims of the crash, pending a report from the state medical examin-ers office, but family members have posted on Facebook that the two victims of the plane crash were Virginia Seigel and Seigel’s granddaughter, Elise Lowrance.

The Tooele County Planning Commission decided to hold off on giving the County Council their recommendation for a development that would allow 1,260 residential units on roughly 357 acres on the southern end of Erda during their June 16 meeting.

Joe Colosimo submitted a request to rezone nine parcels totaling 356.84 acres from RR-5 —rural residential with a 5-acre minimum lot size — and C-G — commercial general — to the planned community zone.

The parcels lie between state Route 36 and Droubay Road north of Tooele City.

The planned community is to be known as Oquirrh Point, according to the rezone appli-cation.

Tooele County adopted a planned community ordinance in June 2018.

Planned communities, as described in the ordinance, consist of developments over 150 acres in size and may have a wide range of housing types, density and architectural styles. They also have town centers, business and education uses and open space.

The entire planned communi-ty ordinance is eight pages long. It can be found on the county’s website, tooeleco.org under “Your Government,” “County Departments,” and “Community Development” as Chapter 31 of

the Land Use Ordinance.Here is a short synopsis of the

planned community approval process highlighting the land use districts proposed in the Oquirrh Point development.

The first approval step is the PC Zone and plan. It requires a plan showing the total land area to be rezoned to PC with a land use table outlining proposed permitted and conditional uses, number of residential units, square feet of nonresidential development, and a preliminary outline of proposed locations for land use districts.

This is the approval that is currently being reviewed by the

The Tooele City Council approved their 2022 fiscal year budget during their June 16 meeting.

The 2022 budget includes over $58 million of allotted funds.

The budget was presented by Shannon Wimmer, Tooele City finance director.

“Each year as we go through the budget process, we face the difficult task of balancing our operating and capital needs to match our available resources,” Tooele City Mayor Debbie Winn. “As is the case with the majority of local governments, we are never able to fully fund all worthwhile programs or fund all projects and equip-ment. Our aim is to set priori-ties as we allocate resources by funding required and essential services first, and ensuring a level of service to meet our residents’ expectations.”

The budget includes infor-

mation about taxation, special revenue funds, capital projects, enterprise funds, and allotted money for city departments, among others.

Sales tax is the largest source of revenue for the city and accounts for approxi-mately 30% of total general fund revenue, according to the budget.

All taxable sales that take place in Tooele City are taxed at a rate of 7%.

The city’s second largest source of revenue is property tax, which represents 24% of the general fund revenue.

In 2020, the city received 21% of property tax payments, with the rest going to Tooele County and the school district.

The city’s franchise tax is collected from utility bills paid to the city.

The three utilities on which the fee is collected are: natural gas, electricity, cell phone bills, and cable TV.

Electricity accounted for the highest amount of money col-lected during fiscal year 2020 with $1.4 million collected.

Parks, arts and recreation tax, otherwise known as PAR tax, is a voter approved 0.001% sales tax the state allows the city to collect. This money goes to improve parks, recreation and cultural facili-ties, and cultural organizations

and events such as the Tooele City Arts Council and Fridays on Vine Concerts, according to the budget.

The city’s general fund which pays for functions associated with a municipal government, like police, fire, streets, recreation, and com-munity development, receives revenues from property, sales, licenses and permits, fees for services, grants, and transfers from other funds within the city, according to the budget.

The police department gets 29% of the general fund allot-ment, the largest amount of any department in the city.

The second highest was the U.T.A district at 8% of funds and then the library, com-munity development, the golf course, and the parks and recreations department, which all received five percent of the allotment from the general fund.

Special revenue funds, according to the budget, are collected for a purpose and are accounted for in a separate fund, which allows the city to monitor revenues and expendi-tures of specific activities.

Tooele City’s special revenue funds include parks, arts and recreation, park capital project funds, public safety capital projects funds, redevelopment agency funds, and road funds.

The city’s capital project fund is used to account for the financial resources to be used for improvement or construc-tion of major capital assets other than those in other fund categories, according to the budget.

Enterprise funds, which are obtained from user fees, cover the whole cost of the services provided, including personnel, operating costs, debt service, and overhead.

Tooele City’s enterprise funds consist of the water fund, sewer fund, solid waste fund, storm water fund, and the streetlight fund.

During 2020, the city collected $1,091,707 for the storm drain fund and $164,417 for the streetlight fund.

The debt fund, according to the budget, is used to report payments of debt service obli-gations and bonds not account-ed for in other funds.

During fiscal year 2020, Tooele City collected $2,305,454 for this fund.

Fire department trust fund, which is a trust and agency fund, is a pension trust fund for the Tooele City volunteer firefighters.

During fiscal year 2020, $88,615 was collected and $88,979 was paid out.

There are five projects cur-

rently held by the Tooele City Municipal Building Authority; the Tooele City Hall, the animal control shelter, the Oquirrh Hills Golf Course, the library, and the Tooele City Police Station.

Altogether, the annual bud-get consists of 15 funds for a total budget of $58 million.

The largest category was the city’s general fund with 36% of the $58 million going to the fund.

Some Interstate 80 driv-ers to and from Tooele have already encountered construc-tion related route closures and detours that started on Monday.

Utah Department of Transportation crews started setting the bridge supports for the Midvalley Highway bridge over I-80 as part of the new interchange at approximately

mile marker 94.5.To accommodate the

bridge construction, UDOT announced on June 17 that I-80 westbound will close com-pletely at exit 99 on June 21, 22, and 23 from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. the following morning.

Eastbound lanes will close nightly at exit 84 on June 24, 25, and 26 from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. the following morning.

Traffic will be detoured to state Route 138 and state

Route 36 as detours.Phase one of the Midvalley

Highway will take traffic from the new interchange to state Route 138 at Sheep Lane. It will initially be built as a two lane highway with the capa-bility of expanding as traffic increases and funds become available, according to UDOT. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.tgillie@tooeletranscript.com

Peter Breinholt to perform this at Fridays on Vine

Tooele City Council approves $58 million 2022 budget

CEILLY SUTTONSTAFF WRITER

Utah indie folk artist Peter Breinholt will perform this Friday during the Fridays on Vine concert series. Breinholt said he’s been in love with songwriting since he was a boy.

Breinholt began writing songs when he was young and became serious about it in high school.

Later, when he attended the University of Utah, Breinholt’s songs began becoming more well-known and he started per-forming.

“I see myself first and foremost as a songwriter,” Breinholt said. “When I was a kid, that’s when I started writ-ing songs. It was always about writing songs. I kind of idolized these amazing song writers like Paul Simon and John Lennon. What happened was when I started writing, these songs started to gain more traction and it thrust me into a position of performing them.”

Breinholt began to learn how to perform his indie folk songs in front of a live audience and he grew to enjoy performing.

“At first, I hadn’t really thought the performing part through yet,” he said. “I was kind of thrown into it and I adapted. Pretty soon I began to do a lot of performing and I became known to people, first as a performer. So, now I really enjoy performing.”

Breinholt is inspired to per-form, because he considers himself a huge fan of music.

“I think I am just a big fan first,” he said. “My whole life I’ve been really drawn into music over and over again. I just have some good memories and music was right in the center of all of them. I remem-ber kind of exploring an inner world that music kind of devel-ops in people. I think being a fan, there’s a lot of meaning in other people’s music for me. It’s cool that I can turn around and have my own version of that for some people.”

Now 53-year-old Breinholt performs all over Utah and is a major part of the Utah music scene.

Breinholt has played for Fridays on Vine many times.

“We used to do it every other

year there at Fridays on Vine,” he said. “We love this show. It’s so fun.”

Breinholt is thrilled that live music can be enjoyed again.

“The music industry was really hit when the pandemic began,” he said. “It just feels like the industry- the live music industry- is coming back to life. We just performed at the Sandy Amphitheater on Friday night, June 18, and we could really feel the electricity from the audience. Audiences are ready. We are really feeling the audi-ences right now. When people bring that type of electricity, those are special shows to be a part of.”

Breinholt is ready to perform this Friday.

“We really just love this particular music series,” he said. “It’s so consistent and this series has been around for a while, it’s working, it’s in a really good place, and we are just really excited.”

The concert will begin on Friday at 7 p.m. at the Aquatic Center Park on Vine Street in Tooele City.csutton@tooeletranscript.com

The Miss Tooele City com-petition will return to its tradi-tional format in 2021 following a COVID-19 modified version held in 2020.

The competition will be held on June 26 at 7 p.m. in the Tooele High School auditorium. Admission is free.

The competition, which is celebrating its 10th anniver-sary, will not only highlight the eight 2021 contestants, but will also recognize 17 members of past royalties through a video and on stage presence.

The competition will be host-ed by Tooele City Mayor Debbie Winn and 2020 Miss Tooele City, Ella Rose Leonelli. 2020 attendants Eden Legge and Suni Norman will also be part of the 2021 competition production.

Over $4,000 in scholarships and prizes will be awarded dur-ing the competition.

From their cover sheets writ-ten by the contestants, here are excerpts from their answers to why they want to be Miss Tooele City and why they are qualified for the position:

Jaylee MontagueFor starters — it’s the crown.

What girl doesn’t want to be a princess? But beyond sparkles and glitter, I absolutely love Tooele City! Not only is our city beautiful with its view of the lake, the mountains, and the iconic “T” that is visible from the whole valley, it is the people who make this place truly beautiful. My fourth great-grandparents, the Speirs and the Walters, helped settle Tooele, and I look forward to the opportunity of continuing their legacy of serving this great community.

Rylie Mae GrissettiIf given the opportunity to

represent the community, I would want to be a face that everyone recognized and felt like they could come to talk to. I’m very personable, positive, outgoing, and fun and I’m ready to present that at every event Miss Tooele City is invited to. Giving back is something that Tooele has instilled in me and I’d like to help others find more ways to do the same by teaming up with local community part-ners to help notify city mem-

bers of opportunities to give back that they may noot have thought of previously.

Liberty Louise BurdineI would like to represent

Tooele City by becoming Miss Tooele City. I want to have an impact on the lives of little girls and let them know that they can conquer their dreams. It is important to show girls that no matter how your body looks, you can become anything you put your mind to. I believe that I am qualified to represent Tooele City, as I have pride, responsibility, and determina-tion to make our city a better place.

Hannah SheppardI grew up in Tooele City and

would love to be able to give back to the community by serv-ing Tooele City. I love opportu-nities to serve others. ... I would love to not only be able to serve and represent Tooele City , but to inspire young girls through-out the city, like I was. I am extremely hardworking, orga-nized, accountable, and person-able. There is a great deal of responsibility that comes with being Miss Tooele City, and all these qualities would make me extremely qualified for the posi-tion.

Camille RichI love Tooele, growing up

here taught me so much about life. I took an oath halfway through my junior year of high school that I would try and find everything this town has to offer. I made more friends, went on more adventures, and now I want to make Miss Tooele City one of my last Tooele adventures.

Felicity ParksI am so excited about this

opportunity to support the Tooele City community. Being an example to all the young girls in Tooele City is very important to me. In these try-ing times of COVID-19, it is fundamental to be unified and positive. This is what I hope to promote. I thrive on influenc-ing others in positive ways. My experience with leadership positions and education allows me to be a good candidate for Miss Tooele City.

Grace Lynn Jenkins

I would love to be Miss Tooele City because I want to help the community stay con-nected and grow together as Tooele expands. To be Miss Tooele City would mean inter-acting and being more involved in the community. ... My Tooele neighbors have been such a great example to me growing up,through service projects, community activities, and over-all friendliness to everyone; they have helped me grow and become the person I am today. Through them my love for Tooele City has grown and will continue to grow as I interact and spend time with the Tooele community.

Elizabeth Jean RawlingsI would love to be Miss

Tooele City because I love my hometown! I grew up here and I would love nothing more than to represent Tooele in a positive light. I am qualified for this position because I have a love for service and a drive to accomplish whatever I set out to do. I love being able to make people happy and I believe that this title would help me have an impact on the community.

Western nations are scapegoating China for their own mistakesWhen U.S. President Joe

Biden met with America’s top allies at the G-7 summit in England last week, the pri-mary objective seemed to be to signal-boost the appearance of unity against America’s geopo-litical adversaries. The primary bogeyman propped up for use as a rhetorical punching bag was China, suggesting a pivot away from Russia as the desig-nated global villain.

The G-7 nations — America, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — vowed “to coordinate a common strategy to deal with China non-market policies that undermine competition,” Biden said in a press conference. He accused China of “forced labor” and said there needs to be “a democratic alternative to the Belt and Road Initiative.”

Perhaps a mirror would be helpful in determining where it all went wrong.

Maybe China wouldn’t be so powerful today if these same countries hadn’t spent years ignoring — or even tacitly encouraging through inac-tion and faulty policies — the outsourcing of Western manu-

facturing and jobs to China. Instead of asking what could be done to improve the business climate in the West in order to repatriate this lost productiv-ity, these same governments seemed content to turn a blind eye to the situation as long as it meant a healthy profit margin for the business leaders at the top of the food chain.

Suddenly, China’s cheap labor is a human rights prob-lem — long after it helped make U.S. companies trillions of dollars in profit. At what point did Western authori-ties have a crisis of conscience about China’s manufacturing labor cost of $3.28 an hour? Apparently, now that there are countries with even cheaper labor to exploit, it’s time to get tough on China.

Notice that the G-7 countries aren’t taking their ally India to task for a manufacturing labor cost of $1.72 an hour.

Nor do they have unkind words for one of their regional allies against China, Vietnam, with its manufacturing labor cost of $1.96 an hour. It seems as if this ultra-low-cost exploit-ative labor would undermine markets even more than China does, but apparently we’re not going to talk about it because U.S. industry has already piv-oted to these countries in a global race to pay people as little as possible for their work. Instead, we’re going to hear a lot of selective outrage against the big economic adversary that Western nations helped to create, and there won’t be any

of the deep soul-searching that would lead to an admission of how Western policies contrib-uted to this result.

The same feigned ignorance applies to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, cited by Biden as a threat to Western econom-ic interests. China began this project in 2013, when Biden was Barack Obama’s vice presi-dent, so perhaps Donald Trump was on to something with the “Sleepy Joe” riffs if Biden is just waking up to it now.

The Belt and Road Initiative is a plan to establish land and maritime routes that would enable China to ship goods

around the world in record time. It’s no secret that one of China’s strategies is to rope certain countries into being indebted to Chinese banks by loaning those countries money to build infrastructure for the project. These nations are seduced by the promise of sus-tained wealth from the route’s completion and the indepen-dence that such riches would bring.

Montenegro is one example of this dream turned night-mare. The cash-strapped coun-try, struggling with a post-com-munist transition, signed on to the project, took a $944 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of China and blew it on a 25-mile stretch of road leading to nowhere, according to an Agence France-Presse report.

But China was only stepping into a void Western countries had left. Who else was going to invest in needy Montenegro? Certainly not the European Union, which didn’t seem to have an interest in loaning cash to a country marred by corrup-tion. Everything Western lead-ers have been doing has been based on self-serving, short-term benefits, to the detriment of long-term strategy.

“We’re in a contest ... with autocrats, autocratic govern-

ments around the world, as to whether or not democracies can compete with them in a rapidly changing 21st century,” Biden said at the G-7 summit.

Yes, but successfully com-peting with autocratic gov-ernments would first require Western nations to stop making choices that undermine their own potential for success. The West’s primary adversary isn’t China or any other country — it’s their own shortsightedness.

LETTERS POLICY

China Leapfrogs U.S. on Defense SpendingJoe Biden isn’t known for his

austerity, except when it comes to the nation’s defense.

As part of his welcome emphasis on competition with China, the president cajoled reluctant European countries at the G-7 summit into releas-ing a statement critical of China, on top of the announce-ment of an infrastructure pro-gram meant to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

That’s all fine as far as it goes, but a glaring omission from Biden’s campaign is a defense budget that reflects the growing challenge from Beijing.

Indeed, Biden justifies almost any increased domestic spending as designed to check China’s ambitions, at the same time he neglects what is most needful to keep China from dominating its region and wag-ing war on our allies or per-haps the U.S. itself.

If we can deter China from taking Taiwan with subsidies for electric cars, Biden is inar-guably the Churchill of his time.

If we can counter China’s defense buildup with more funding for affordable hous-ing, Biden deserves to take his place beside Alfred Thayer Mahan or George Kennan as great strategic thinkers.

Otherwise, his approach is lacking, and disturbingly so.

Biden’s infrastructure plan, a sprawling proposal that would spend $2.3 trillion on everything from roads and bridges to affordable hous-ing and elder care, is about the “global competition with China,” the president insists.

By Biden’s way of think-ing, whatever progressives have wanted to do for years is suddenly a priority in the new Cold War. The left-wing “explainer” website Vox now claims, “Improving domestic infrastructure and investing in new and emerging technolo-gies, especially clean energy technology, is the best way the U.S. can challenge China for supremacy on the world stage.” The publication quoted a Democratic congressional aide, “The best way to enact a progressive agenda is to use China [as a] threat.”

There are indeed areas of advanced technology that we need to invest in, especially semi-conductors and artificial intelligence (a $250 billion Senate bill passed last week is an imperfect step in this direc-tion), but it’s not true that we can simply windmill our way to

victory over China.Although you might miss it

listening to Biden, there are threats from China that don’t involve infrastructure spending or clean energy initiatives.

China has been growing its annual defense spending by more than 6% a year.

It has now surpassed the U.S. and technically has the largest navy in the world.

It is on pace to double its nuclear weapons over the next decade.

It has flown hundreds of sorties near Taiwan this year, and a top U.S. admiral warns that it could invade in the next six years.

Given all that, one might expect the openhanded Biden to invest substantially in a stronger, more advanced U.S. military, but his profli-gacy doesn’t extend so far. He increased defense budget spending by about 2%, which won’t even keep up with infla-tion.

This doesn’t come close to what we realistically need. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said at a U.S. Naval Institute event late last year, “We’re going to have to have a much larger fleet than we have today, if we’re serious about great power competi-tion and deterring great power war.” He called for a 3-5% increase in the budget every year but didn’t think that was plausible because of fiscal con-straints (little did he know, the $6 trillion blowout to come in every other area of the bud-get).

We should be spending more on defense, and spend-ing differently. With an eye to deterring conflict with China, we need to recalibrate in a serious way to focus on advanced technologies and weapons systems for the Navy and Air Force, and in space. Hypersonics, directed energy, and control of the electromag-netic spectrum should be par-ticular priorities.

Biden has no excuse for not pursuing this. It’s not as though he can say we can’t afford it.

Please let Biden endure until 2024 There is one takeaway from

watching Vice President Kamala Harris’ horrifying interview on NBC about whether she’ll visit our south-ern border to see the crisis with her own eyes:

President Joe Biden must endure until 2024. Please God, please.

And I’m asking every American, even Democrats, to pray that Biden endures. He must endure, even if it means we have to suffer through his fading and increasingly creaky Uncle Joe act, a role better suited for a ‘60s sitcom (“Petticoat Junction”) than his upcoming one-on-one meet-ing with Russia strongman Vladimir Putin.

Old Uncle Joe, he’s a-mov-ing kinda slow, we can handle. But under our laws there is a backup to Biden: President Kamala Harris.

Please God, no.In that NBC Nightly News

interview with Lester Holt, Harris displayed her many tal-ents, which include a stupefy-ing shallowness and stubborn inability to process all those briefs the State Department and others have given to her.

Holt: “Do you have any plans to visit the border?”

“At some point, you know,” Harris said, raising her hands. “We are going to the border. We’ve been to the border. So this whole thing about the

border,” (now hands waving), “we’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.”

Holt: “You haven’t been to the border.”

“And I haven’t been to Europe,” Harris said, laughing and again waving those hands. “I mean, I don’t understand the point you are making. I’m not discounting the importance of the border.”

It was then that I began wishing Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the star of the HBO series “Veep,” was our vice president.

Louis-Dreyfus could handle it. Liberal, neurotic and con-sumed by ambition, I can deal with.

But incompetence one breath away from the presi-dency is another matter. Biden put Harris in charge of the bor-der crisis in March. And while dozens of elected officials from both parties have gone to see with their own eyes the situa-tion there, Harris has not.

Does the Biden administra-tion not want cameras follow-ing her to capture what she might see? Is this the same Harris who, when running for president, consistently talked

up the need for the next presi-dent to be “true to our values” and to welcome migrants and families? To stop what she described as “human rights abuses” at the border?

Now she’s in charge and she laughs off a question about why she hasn’t gone to the border herself to get a bet-ter understanding of what is unfolding. Her swallowing, the nervousness, the hand wav-ing, Harris repeating herself, “We’ve been to the border, we’ve been to the border,” as if she was some damaged robot stuck in a loop.

She has not been to the bor-der. Neither has Biden.

C’mon man, (or ye mighty), look at your own works and despair.

Republicans mock them for avoiding the border, with some suggesting her face be put on a milk carton as the missing vice president. But Democrats like U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas have also called on Biden and Harris to come and see for themselves.

If she and Biden did visit, they might be asked about that 5-year-old boy recently dropped by smugglers alone at a rural, empty, industrial-looking spot at the border in Texas, the boy screaming hys-terically, coughing and crying, “No! No! No! Don’t leave!” on a video now gone viral that is as heartbreaking as anything out

of this mess.They might be asked why

Biden’s and Harris’ warning to Central Americans “do not come” isn’t working.

They avoid the border like the plague. Holt didn’t ask Harris, a Democrat, about the little boy. And Holt didn’t mention that as a result of Biden’s policies, the number of encounters with children has increased more than 160% in the past year.

All Holt did was ask Harris when she planned on visiting the border. He wasn’t tough about it. He asked it in a sooth-ing voice. There was nothing catty about his questions.

And her answer is what it is. Gobbledygook.

Holt was characterized as having grilled Harris. But using “grilled” is about protect-ing her performance. Holt was gentle.

He also didn’t mention that the president rolled back many Trump border protection policies, such as the Migrant Protection Protocols, that once kept migrants in Mexico as they sought immigration hear-ings.

Or that Biden once called for migrants to “surge” the south-ern border, which is exactly what they’ve been doing since he was elected, and that Harris telling Guatemalans “don’t

come” isn’t policy. It’s spin.She has a difficult job, nod-

ding sagely at what Biden says, standing in the background waiting her turn. At one speech in March when he put her in charge of immigration, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned to her and began applauding.

And even with a mask on, you could see Harris’ eyes wid-ening in horror at the warm bucket of something she’d been

given by the president.After her NBC interview

brought her criticism, Harris continued her meltdown, like Captain Queeg with the straw-berries.

Biden’s border policy is not only a crisis for the admin-istration of its own making, it is a political disaster for Democrats. And Republicans will shout exhortations.

But take Harris’ flippancy out of it for a second. That’s not the most disturbing issue.

China is the issue. Russia is the issue. Iran is the issue.

The world is a dangerous

place. Predatory nations and allies look for weak leaders out of their depth. And the inter-view revealed Harris as unpre-pared. Silly. Not serious.

How will Putin and China’s Xi Jinping process that inter-view? Let’s hope it never comes to that.

President Biden must endure until 2024. Please, God, please.

A4TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

Nine months into his mandate to investigate possible Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, special counsel Robert Mueller has finally found some actual Russians to indict. Unfortunately, by pointing the finger at these Russians, he has exposed hypocrisy within the U.S. system.Last year, Mueller’s investigation produced indictments against four former Trump campaign advisors who had dealings with Russians during their international business careers before joining the campaign. Most of what those indictments covered could have fallen under the purview of the Internal Revenue Service and seemed out of place in a multimillion-dollar investigation into alleged electoral subversion.But now, we actually have some indicted Russians — 13 individuals who supposedly had a hand in the 2016 electoral outcome. How so? Primarily by screwing around on social media.

The U.S. Justice Department has charged these 13 Russian nationals with conspiracy to defraud the United States. Supposedly, the accused tried to pollute the sacred electronic insti-tutions of truth that recently brought us fascinating (but false) political information such as “President Trump orders the execution of five turkeys pardoned by Obama” (a story that provoked 914,429 social media inter-actions, according to a 2017 year-end analysis by Buzzfeed News).Former FBI director Mueller’s long arm of the law has reached into that pristine electronic river of democracy, which was also home to this viral Facebook post about his own former bureau: “FBI seizes over 3,000 penises during raid at morgue employee’s

home” (1,145,470 interactions). How lucky we are that Mueller and the Justice Department are saving us from any disinformation that those Russians might be spreading.The 13 Russians are accused of creating “hundreds of social media accounts” under fake identities. They then allegedly pretended to be U.S.-based activists on social media, posting election-related opinions in an effort to influence the outcome in favor of Donald Trump and, during the primary elections, Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.The indictment implies that the operation was linked to the Russian government, and that a St. Petersburg-based company called the Internet Research Agency failed to register as a foreign agent before purchasing paid advertisements on social media. Silly Russians — you’re supposed to pay a lobbying firm in Washington to do all that for you on

See, eat and hearSo! Today’s headline in a publica-tion proclaimed Gov. Herbert stating, “The public wants the government to do something about school shootings.” What an understatement! Recognizing that our society is now oriented toward recreational and leisure time, much of which is structured around our graphi-cally violent movie industry, does the government have the guts to take on Hollywood?

Without public support, govern-ment interaction will not happen. It normally takes a Pearl Harbor to get us out of our doldrums and face the reality of such issues. When you spend time at the dump, you start smelling like the dump. How many times have I observed my peers involved in graphi-cally violent movies on their laptops with rapturous fascination, literally drooling at the lips in becoming both psychologically as well as intellectu-ally involved in much of the hideous stunts that many of these films portray. Would you feed you children arsenic?We become what we see, eat and hear. How about a stiff prison term for parents who allow their children

to view such aberrations. This narra-tive includes video games including “Mortal Combat” and “Grand Theft Auto,” which are among the lesser of some of the droppings that our culture provides. We are talking responsibility here. Such movies are not allowed at our house. Our grandchildren, when we have the pleasure of their company, still view treasures such as “Bambi,” “Dumbo” and “Aristocats.” A few years ago I read a letter to the editor from a very astute citizen in the Transcript Bulletin that was entitled, “Spoons do not make people fat.” The reverse side of which reflected “Guns do not kill people. People kill people.” With our socialized attraction toward violence nowadays, if the government takes your guns away, perpetrators will be forced to use crossbows, then ball bats, and finally, fountain pens. We really need to get behind the government in resolving this deteriorating phenom-enon that we have allowed to become an almost monthly socialized event.

OUR VIEW

No one else could have described the predicament more clearly:“This is a serious problem,” said Rep. Merrill Nelson, R-Grantsville. “It’s important to all of the residents. The commuter problem affects our livelihood, it affects the time with our families, it affects our activity time after work, and most importantly, it affects our safety as we travel back and forth through that dangerous stretch of road.”What Nelson was referring to is the commuter traffic bottleneck of state Route 36 and Interstate 80 at Lake Point, and commuters’ heavy reliance on I-80 and SR-201 to drive to and from the Wasatch Front for work. His words were offered during opening remarks at an informational meeting he organized between the Utah Department of Transportation and local citizens at Stansbury High School on Feb. 1.Nelson’s words clearly defined the problem, but the purpose of the meeting was made even more clear before it even began: UDOT officials who were scheduled to attend and make a presentation were delayed from Salt Lake for nearly 30 minutes because — you guessed it — an accident forced evening commuter traffic to a crawl on I-80.UDOT officials at the meeting, including executive director Carlos Braceras, reviewed past and future projects intended to reduce commut-er congestion and increase safety. What’s to come is the $74.4 million phase one of the Midvalley Highway in 2019, and this year’s replace-ment and expansion of bridges at Lake Point’s Exit 99 and at Black Rock two miles to the east on I-80.To help minimize anticipated congestion from those two projects, UDOT plans to build both new bridges next to the existing bridges. And both new bridges are reportedly designed to carry extra traffic capacity.Which sounds fine and good. But if there was a takeaway from the Feb. 1 meeting, it was this: UDOT’s current plans will only help reduce traffic congestion and improve safety — but commuters shouldn’t expect clear sailing after Midvalley Highway’s phase one and the bridges at Lake Point and Black Rock have been replaced. Because Tooele Valley’s population is growing and is projected to continue, which means more commuters and general traffic than today, everyone should continue to plan on long delays on SR-36, I-80 and state Route 138.And traffic congestion and delays may likely continue, even if the state pushes forward with an auxiliary lane on I-80 between Lake Point and Black Rock, and an SR-201 extension from Black Rock directly to SR-36 in Lake Point. Neither of those projects are currently funded and the projected cost of the SR-201 extension is $200 million.Yet, even though such projects may not fully alleviate congestion woes, the state must continually work toward improving traffic flows between Tooele and Salt Lake valleys. That work will likely take on even more importance after the Utah State Prison is finished, and as busi-ness parks west of Salt Lake International Airport continue their march toward the Great Salt Lake.Those facilities will employ thousands, many of whom may choose to live in Tooele Valley, further adding to commuter congestion. Unless the state acts purposefully on this problem with solid funding, relief may never arrive.

If only Joe McCarthy had lived to see this moment, when it is suddenly in vogue to attribute large-scale events in American politics to the hand of Russia and to inveigh against domestic subver-sion.Robert Mueller released an indictment of 13 Russians for crimes related to their social-media campaign to meddle in our internal affairs in the run-up to and after-math of the 2016 election.

Mueller obviously isn’t a McCarthyite, and can’t be held responsible for the hysteria — and hopeful expectations of an impeachment-level event — that has built up around his work. His indictment is, as far as anyone can tell, rigorously factual. That’s prob-ably the point of it — to create a record of an episode that we should want to know as much about as possible and prevent from ever hap-pening again. The Russia campaign was a shockingly cynical violation of our sovereignty. President Donald Trump would do himself and the country a favor by frankly denounc-ing it. But the scale of the opera-tion shouldn’t be exaggerated. In the context of a hugely expensive, obsessively covered, impossibly dramatic presidential election, the Russian contribution on social media was piddling and often laughable.

The Russians wanted to boost Trump, but as a Facebook executive noted, most of their spending on Facebook ads came after the elec-tion. The larger goal was to sow discord, yet we had already primed ourselves for plenty of that.Does anyone believe, absent Russian trolls on Twitter and Facebook, that we were headed to a placid election season involving an incendiary, mediagenic former real-ity TV star bent on blowing up the political establishment and a long-time pol who had stoked the enmity of Republicans for 30 years and was under FBI investigation?

If you read the Mueller indict-

ment, you might think the Russians were everywhere, not only adver-tising on Facebook (“Trump is our only hope for a better future”; “Ohio Wants Hillary 4 Prison”), but organizing rallies around the coun-try. But it’s not clear these rallies even came off.The Russians didn’t do anything to us that we weren’t doing to ourselves, although we were doing it on a much larger, more potent scale. The Russians are just aping the arguments we are already hav-ing with one other, and the sewer-ish level of much of the discussion on social media.

The New York Times ran a report the other day on Russian bots, in the immediate aftermath of the Parkland school shooting, posting on Twitter about gun control. It’s hard to believe that this is going to rip apart the American body politic when many perfectly respectable, red-blooded Americans themselves advocate for gun control, and often in the immediate aftermath of shootings.In a better world, Trump would be less defensive about the Russian investigation, and his opposition would be less obsessively invested in it (at least until such time that it produces a genuine bombshell). We should seek to shut down Russian influence as much as possible, with-out losing perspective. We aren’t divided because of Russia; we’re divided because we have genuine, deeply held differences. The fault, to the extent there is one, isn’t with the bots, but with ourselves.

GUEST OPINION

When Donald Trump and his followers refer to “America,” what do they mean?Some see a country of white, English-speaking Christians.Others want a land inhabited by self-seeking individuals free to accu-mulate as much money and power as possible, who pay taxes only to protect their assets from criminals and foreign aggressors.

Others think mainly about flags, national anthems, pledges of alle-giance, military parades and secure borders.Trump encourages a combination of all three — tribalism, libertarianism and loyalty.But the core of our national identity has not been any of this. It has been found in the ideals we share — politi-cal equality, equal opportunity, free-dom of speech and of the press, a dedi-cation to open inquiry and truth, and to democracy and the rule of law.We are not a race. We are not a

creed. We are a conviction — that all people are created equal, that people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, and that government should be of the people, by the people and for the people.Political scientist Carl Friedrich, comparing Americans to Gallic people, noted that “to be an American is an ideal, while to be a Frenchman is a fact.”

That idealism led Abraham Lincoln to proclaim that America might yet be the “last best hope” for humankind. It prompted Emma Lazarus, some two decades later, to welcome to America the world’s “tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe

free.”It inspired the poems of Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes, and the songs of Woody Guthrie. All turned their love for America into demands that we live up to our ideals.“This land is your land, this land is my land,” sang Guthrie.

“Let America be America again,” pleaded Hughes. “The land that never has been yet — /And yet must be — the land where every man is free. / The land that’s mind — the poor man’s, Indian’s, Negro’s, ME —.”That idealism sought to preserve and protect our democracy — not inundate it with big money, or allow one party or candidate to suppress votes from rivals, or permit a foreign power to intrude on our elections.It spawned a patriotism that once required all of us take on a fair share of the burdens of keeping America going — paying taxes in full rather

The Stansbury football team came away from Friday’s Region 11 road game against Ogden as the only undefeated team left in region play, but the Stallions were left ques-tioning their focus after yet another slow start.

Stansbury (3-3, 2-0 Region 11) led just 21-20 at halftime, but poured it on in the second half en route to a 56-20 tri-umph that gave the Stallions a one-game lead over four other teams in the region standings. It marked the second game in a row where Stansbury over-came a slow start to win, as the Stallions erased a 28-7 half-time deficit in its 35-28 win over Tooele a week earlier. The Stallions have outscored their past two opponents 63-0 in the second half.“It’s like Jekyll and Hyde, who they are,” Stansbury coach Clint Christiansen said. “It just comes down to them not mentally getting them-selves ready. They know it and we’re addressing that now. If the team that shows up in the second half shows up for four quarters, we have a chance to be a pretty good football team, but we’ve got to figure that part out.”

The rough start somewhat overshadowed another stellar performance for Stansbury’s rushing attack, which seems to be hitting its stride after strug-gling early in the season. Silas Young rushed for 158 yards and four touchdowns, Mitch Lindsay ran for 77 yards and two scores and Bridger Roberts carried the ball six times for 65 yards and a TD as the Stallions pounded the Tigers (2-4, 1-1) for 425 yards on the ground.Young staked the Stallions to a 14-0 first-quarter lead with a pair of touchdown runs from 5 and 6 yards out.

After a disappointing loss in the Region 11 opener, the Tooele football team’s game plan coming into Friday’s road game against Ben Lomond was simple: run, run and run some more.

The Buffaloes executed that strategy to perfection, attempt-ing 68 rushing plays and gain-ing 426 yards on the ground en route to an impressive 37-7 win over the Scots that evened their region record at 1-1.“That was the game plan,” said Tooele senior Jeno Bins, who led Tooele (3-3, 1-1 Region 11) with 171 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. “We wanted to come out and take it to them and have more momentum going into the rest of our season. We still have more to go, but we’re on track for sure.”

The Buffs’ ground game was so dominant that the Scots (0-6, 0-2) had the ball for less than three minutes in the first half, and for barely over 15 minutes for the entire game. Ben Lomond managed just 226 yards of total offense compared to Tooele’s 445.

It was a refreshing bounce-back effort for the Buffs, who gave up 28 unanswered points in the second half of their 35-28 loss to Stansbury a week earlier.“The kids responded to how we practiced,” Tooele coach Jeff Lewis said. “I’m very pleased with that, and that’s a tribute to our kids to come back the way they did. The plan was to come out and play a little smash-

mouth.”Tooele opened the game with a 15-play, 71-yard drive that took up 7:30 of game time. The drive, which included a 4-yard run by Bins on a fourth-and-1 play, ended with a 4-yard scor-ing run by Ben Wasson.

The Grantsville girls ten-nis team disregarded the Salt Lake City newspapers’ predictions about who would win Region 13 and outscored Judge Memorial by 2 points and Waterford by 5, taking first place Friday.

The newspapers had predict-ed other squads would reign as region champs. Grantsville wasn’t “in the picture,” GHS coach Stephen Thurgood said.Thurgood said he figured, “I’d rather not be on the front page. If you’re not on the front page, it goes much better.”Of the region win after play-ing both Thursday and Friday, he added, “Yeah, we won, but it wasn’t easy.”

For the Cowboys, Marissa Linares and Maci Jackson placed first at No. 2 and 3 singles and Paige Peterson and Lexi Colson placed first in No. 1 doubles, with sisters Brooklyn and Brynlee Butler taking sec-ond in No. 2 doubles.

Additionally, Kayla Johnson took fifth place at No. 1 singles. She came back from a loss in her first match against Judge Memorial and won her next two.“If you really look at it, if Kayla’s not there and every-body moves up one, we don’t win any points. So, she didn’t win any points, but in a way she did,” Thurgood said,

Regarding Linares’ final region match, Thurgood said, “She beat the Waterford girl for the second time. This time it was 6-4, 6-3. Marissa was ahead the whole time, she never got behind. It just went back and forth and back and forth, right to the very end.”Of her final match

against Waterford’s Tanisha Martheswaran, Linares said, “She’s really fun to play with. So, we had some really long points.”Linares said she could tell Martheswaran was playing to her backhand, trying to attack what she might have thought was Linares’ weakness.

“I felt pretty confident going into it, because I hadn’t lost in region so far. I’m sure she and

her coach had been strategiz-ing about how to play,” Linares said. “ … there were some deuces that were a little close, but it was good.”Linares said she suspects she

will meet Martheswaran again at state this week.In Jackson’s final round against Amy Robinson from Judge Memorial, she found herself down 5-1 in the first

set. She came back to beat Robinson 7-5 in that set and then capped it off with a 6-1 trouncing. Her previous match-up with Robinson in region play was just like that champi-onship match.In the prior match, she also came back from a 5-1 set to win 7-5, but with the second set, it was a bit closer at 6-3.

At region she said, “I got down in the finals 2-5 and I just kept telling myself ‘It’s not over ‘til it’s over.’ And to ‘just keep playing my game and hit the ball.’”When asked how much pressure she was feeling in the region tournament, Linares said, “I felt more pressure than normal, but, I knew it wasn’t a huge deal if I didn’t win.”

Referring to her come-back twice against Robinson, Jackson said, “All I could think was ‘Wow!’ because I did that twice — I got down. The first time it was 1-5, instead of 2-5, and both times I came back and won 7-5. So, I was just amazed

One week after a disap-pointing loss on its home-coming night, it was the Grantsville football team’s turn to play the spoiler Friday night in Roosevelt.

The Cowboys put together their most dominant perfor-mance of the season, demol-ishing Union 43-15 in the Cougars’ homecoming game

ed other squads would reign as region champs. Grantsville wasn’t “in the picture,” GHS coach Stephen Thurgood said.

“I’d rather not be on the front page. If you’re not on the front page, it goes much better.”

ing both Thursday and Friday, he added, “Yeah, we won, but it wasn’t easy.”

Linares and Maci Jackson placed first at No. 2 and 3 singles and Paige Peterson and Lexi Colson placed first in No. 1 doubles, with sisters Brooklyn and Brynlee Butler taking sec-ond in No. 2 doubles.

Additionally, Kayla Johnson took fifth place at No. 1 singles. She came back from a loss in her first match against Judge Memorial and won her next two.“If you really look at it, if Kayla’s not there and every-body moves up one, we don’t win any points. So, she didn’t win any points, but in a way she did,” Thurgood said,

Regarding Linares’ final region match, Thurgood said, “She beat the Waterford girl for the second time. This time it was 6-4, 6-3. Marissa was ahead the whole time, she never got behind. It just went back and forth and back and forth, right to the very end.”Of her final match

against Waterford’s Tanisha Martheswaran, Linares said, “She’s really fun to play with. So, we had some really long points.”Linares said she could tell Martheswaran was playing to her backhand, trying to attack what she might have thought was Linares’ weakness.

“I felt pretty confident going into it, because I hadn’t lost in region so far. I’m sure she and

A day after a fire destroyed

two chicken coops and killed

as many as 300,000 chickens

at Fassio Egg Farms in Erda,

employees were beginning to

clear debris.“We’re cleaning up as best

as we can,” said Corby Larsen,

vice president of operations at

Fassio Egg Farms.The two chicken coops

destroyed in the fire were con-

nected to the additional coops

and processing plant by a

conveyer system, which trans-

ported the eggs, Larsen said.

The fire used the conveyer sys-

tem connection to spread from

the initial coop into the second

building.Work to clean up the pro-

cessing plant for operation was

underway Wednesday but eggs

laid by the farm’s approximate-

ly 600,000 remaining chickens

are unable to get to refrigera-

tion quickly enough without

the conveyer system, Larsen

said. As a result, all of the eggs

produced since the fire must

be disposed of, he said.

The conveyer system is

a priority for the farm and

Larsen said they hope to have

some version of the system in

place within the next couple of

days. The farm is also looking

to replace the chickens killed

in the fire within the next few

weeks.Chickens in the adjacent

coops are being monitored

for effects from the fire and

smoke, Larsen said.

While Larsen described

Tuesday’s fire as a frighten-

ing experience, he said he

Lessons from our fathers seem to come back just in time“He said he wished he’d

paid much more atten-tion to the lessons my father had taught to our youth group when we were younger,” she said. She paused, as if for emphasis. “I then told him what the two most important things I learned from my father were.”

As circumstances, age, expe-rience, and conditions change in our lives, the things we’ve learned from our fathers seem to be refreshed and come into active memory, just in time. Different lessons, once offered at another time and place, seem to dance into and then

speak to our hearts and minds, becoming essential for our current moments. So, the two most important things she said she learned from her father may have risen to the top of her heart, just because of the health, professional and eco-nomic events we’ve all experi-enced over the past eighteen or so months.

“The first thing my father

taught me is that innovation is the result of trouble or strug-gle. The second is that there is always opportunity, even in the worst of times. Look for it and it will appear,” she explained to her friend who had been experiencing both personal and professional challenges for an extended period.

She’s found such fatherly-teaching not only has the capacity to help the hearts and minds of its intended recipi-ents, it can additionally be extended to the benefit of mul-tiple generations and unknown future connections.

“He really needs a father

right now,” she continued, talking about how she has shared the benefits of her own received fatherly-teaching with her friend. “So, I thought it would be good to share mine.”

She knows being a father is much more than a simple biological relationship. It isn’t even necessarily tied to legal adoption. It’s much more about accepting the responsibility of acting as a father to others. That means gathering up a lifetime of experience and love and then transferring it to any-one who will accept it.

“After talking with my friend, I asked my dad if he

would mind becoming a father to my friend as well. Of course, he said, ‘yes!’ In fact, my dad made a quick call to my friend immediately after we talked. Now my friend feels his warm fatherly embrace too. Perhaps I can best describe it as enjoy-ing a big teddy bear hug all the time.”

She’s learned that being a father means offering security to others, even if he, her father, doesn’t feel all too secure him-self at the time.

“You said you’d always have a place for me,” she once said in despair to her dad when he told her he was selling her

childhood home. “He replied, ‘I do have a

place for you. It’s just a differ-ent place.’ When he said that, I was reassured that he’d still be there for me. Even when the ‘there’ was different. I just needed to hear and feel the confirmation from him.”

Such validation returned to her heart as she talked with a friend in need. She knows that true fatherhood should be a gift that keeps on giving to everyone.

Should you let your kids win at games? My youngest grandson

Lucas is a gifted athlete. I am not.

Throughout grade school and high school, Lucas was a competitive gymnast and played on his school’s soccer team. While he wasn’t a huge fan of football, basketball or baseball, whenever he engaged in a pickup game his skills were clear from the start.

Table tennis, however, was a different story.

We had purchased a used ping pong table for our unfin-ished basement when Lucas was about seven years old. Lucas had never played before but he was game to learn even if he barely could reach over the table. I am not a great play-er but I’d played occasionally as a kid and could patiently return most volleys.

After I taught Lucas the rules, we’d play often when he visited. He got better, but each time he lost. The consis-tent losses went on for several years, but Lucas never stopped

wanting to play.I have always been clear

with my children and grand-children that I won’t let them win at games. Sometimes I might play harder than others, but that has more to do with my level of energy. I’m not a cutthroat player at most things and I try not to be a jerk about winning. I also make sure to encourage the kids by observ-ing how much better they are getting and to remind them of the importance of playing fairly.

But after four or more years of never losing a ping-pong game to Lucas, I began to wonder if it was wrong not to let him win just to boost his confidence. Sure, we’d start over after I was up 13 points to nothing. Or I’d give him an

occasional do-over when he’d mistakenly hit the ball with his hand rather than the paddle, but I never let him win.

Like most kids, Lucas doesn’t like to lose. But he never gave up and never lost interest in playing in spite of years of los-ing.

Sometime after Lucas turned 13, he won his first game of ping pong against me. The next time, he won two games. Each time we played after that he’d win more and more games. He’s still never shut me out in a game, but it’s become a struggle for me to win at least one game over the course of a weekend.

I am not a child psycholo-gist. I don’t know if experts in child development will tell you that letting a child occasionally win at a game even when they lose is somehow good for the child. But I can tell you that even today, being honest with Lucas about how I wasn’t going to let him win still feels like the right thing to have done. It was

and remains a chance to model honesty.

Lucas was thrilled when he won his first game of ping pong against me partly because he knew he had worked hard and really won. He learned the importance of patience and persistence.

Lucas just turned 20. Last weekend, I took the first game of ping pong and he won the next two.

Only God knows the futureFrom the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: I go to church often, but I also read my horoscope. It helps me know what to watch out for each day and I search out how many days out of the year it actually predicts the future right. Is reading the horoscope so bad, and is it part of the occult? -- H.O.

A: Almost since the dawn of the human race, people have tried to discern the future. Millions of people read their horoscopes daily, trying to find some guidance.

Only God knows the future. Many look to the stars, the tea leaves, or the lines on the palm of the hand to find confidence in the future. Some of these attempts to learn what the future holds are merely foolish or useless, but others involve occult practices that can bring people into contact with spiri-tual forces that are not from God, but from Satan.

This is one reason why the Bible tells us to avoid any prac-tice that may be linked with the occult. Astrology can never

provide the answers to life’s deepest questions -- especially when it comes to where we will spend eternity.

If our minds are not filled with God’s truth, something else will take His place: cyni-cism, occultism, false religions and philosophies. It’s Satan’s purpose to steal the seed of truth from our hearts by send-ing distracting thoughts, clever deceptions. People have always been caught up in whatever appears to be the most bizarre, looking for truth and settling for folly. The occult is clever in reaching seekers who want to experience a rush of any kind.

Jesus tells us not to be mis-led by the voices of strangers; there are so many strange voic-es being heard in the world. Jesus made an astounding claim: “I am... the truth (John 14:6). He is the embodiment of all truth. The only answer to man’s search is found in Him.

This column is based on the words and writings of the late Rev. Billy Graham.

MY ANSWER

Explore the Colorful History of Tooele County

Tooele County features some of the most dramatic and diverse landforms on Earth.

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.

HARVARD HEALTH LETTERVitamin D supplements may reduce risk of invasive cancer

People with lower blood lev-els of vitamin D are at higher risk of various serious illnesses, including several types of can-cer. But that doesn’t mean that raising blood levels by taking vitamin D supplements would necessarily reduce cancer risk. Harvard researchers set out in 2011 to test this strategy with a randomized trial of vitamin D supplementation (2,000 IU per day) involving 25,871 people; the results were published online Nov. 2, 2020, by JAMA Network Open. The partici-pants were ages 50 or older, were free of cancer at the start of the study, and were followed carefully for an average of 5.3 years. The rate of metastatic or fatal cancers was 17% lower in those who took the vitamin D supplement. However, the benefit was restricted to people who were not overweight or obese. In healthy-weight people, the risk fell by 38%; in contrast, among those who were overweight or obese, there was no reduction in risk. What do the results of this large and careful study tell us about what we should do? For healthy-weight people at risk for developing cancer (because of lifestyle or a family history of cancer), it would be reasonable to take daily vitamin D supple-ments starting at about age 50.

Pill-free approaches help control heartburn

Living a healthy lifestyle may

be one of the best things you can do to tame the heartburn of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), suggests a research letter published online Jan. 4, 2021, by JAMA Internal Medicine. Harvard research-ers analyzed the self-reported health information of about 43,000 middle-aged women who were followed for 10 years. Women who adhered to five healthy lifestyle factors, regardless of whether they took heartburn medication, appeared to prevent nearly 40% of their GERD symp-toms each week. The pill-free approaches included main-taining a healthy body weight (a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9); not smoking; getting 30 minutes daily of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; limiting coffee, tea, or soda to no more than 2 cups per day; and eating a healthy diet. “Each one of these factors may prevent the inappropri-ate relaxation of the sphincter muscle between the stomach and the esophagus, helping to keep acid from refluxing up and causing heartburn. For example, carrying extra weight around the waist can push on the stomach, forc-ing stomach acid up into the esophagus,” says Dr. Raaj S. Mehta, lead author of the study and a gastroenterology fellow at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

Trivia Test Answers

Q: I’m really enjoying the new comedy “Hacks” on HBO Max. It’s yet another brilliant performance by Jean Smart, whom I’ve watched since her “Designing Women” days. Has she ever won an Emmy or Oscar? She certainly deserves one. — P.W.

A: Jean Smart, who will turn 70 this year, was best known for playing Charlene on the hit sitcom “Designing Women” in the late 1980s. Shortly after it ended, she took a big dramatic leap and wowed critics in the TV biopic “Overkill: The Aileen Wuornos Story.” Adept at both comedy and drama, she easily switched genres, most notably as a Mrs. Robinson type in “The Brady Bunch Movie” and later as the head of a crime syndicate in the TV series “Fargo.”

In “Hacks,” Smart plays a struggling comic who reluc-tantly hires a young writer, played by newcomer Hannah Einbinder, to spice up her act. Einbinder is the daugh-ter of “Saturday Night Live” alum Laraine Newman. As for Smart’s fireplace mantle at home, it has room for some more Emmys after previous wins as Outstanding Guest Actress on the sitcom “Frasier” and Outstanding Supporting Actress in the comedy series “Samantha Who?,” which starred Christina Applegate. “Hacks” is a real showcase for her talent, so don’t be sur-prised if her agent is already telling her to prepare her acceptance speech.

• • •Q: I’m excited about the

“reboot” of the series “Dexter.” It had such an unsatisfying finale, so hopefully they’ll rectify that. I would love it if Dexter’s wife Rita could come back, but I guess that’s not pos-

sible. — G.T.A: Even though it’s been

over a decade since Julie Benz, who played Rita, departed “Dexter,” she says fans still approach her about her angelic character, and jokes that in real life, she’s not that nice. She also said in an interview with TVLine.com that even though “Dexter has moved way past Rita,” she would reprise the character “in a heartbeat if they asked.”

Her latest role was a meaty one and the polar opposite of Rita. She starred in the recent Lifetime movie “Secrets of a Gold Digger Killer,” which was based on the true-crime tale of Celeste Beard. “Dexter” returns to Showtime this fall with Michael C. Hall and Clancy Brown (“SpongeBob SquarePants”). It reportedly will be set in upstate New York instead of Miami.

• • •Q: I was really sad to read

that Ned Beatty died. Had he acted in recent years? — T.T.

A: Ned Beatty started out as a theater actor, but his first film role was a memorable one, in “Deliverance.” A few years later he was nomi-nated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category for “Network.” His television career was just as impressive with notable parts on clas-sics like “The Rockford Files,” “Highway to Heaven” and “Homicide: Life on the Street.” He also endeared himself to both children and adults as the purple bear Lotso in “Toy Story 3.”

Beatty passed peacefully in his sleep at home at the age of 83.

Jean Smart in “Hacks”

How national symbols are chosen is often a mystery.

Uncle Sam is not our oldest symbol. There were two other figures that represented our budding country during the American Revolution. They were Yankee Doodle, the British slang name for the disheveled Colonial soldiers inspired by the song, and Brother Jonathan, a smart, rural man who was the hero in cartoons and stories from 1771 to 1783. They were pictured as tall, thin men with beards.

Legend says Uncle Sam was a nickname inspired by the initials U.S. stamped on barrels of beef for the Army during the War of 1812 to show they were government property. That led to the joke that they belonged to “Uncle Sam.” In the 1870s, Thomas Nast began depicting Uncle Sam in cartoons and posters, but the bearded figure dressed in red, white and blue didn’t became an official sym-bol until 1961. He is now seen on labels, machines, posters, statues and political signs.

This 6-foot-4-inch-tall iron figure is a funhouse grip tester made by Caille in the 1970s. For one cent, you can shake hands with Uncle Sam and see if you are strong. It sold at a Nye and Co. auction for $6,150. Large vintage mechan-ical machines like fortune tellers, postcards sellers or slot machines sell for high prices today. The better the original paint, the better the price.

• • •Q: I love old games, and I

recently saw a picture of an old board game called “Bulls and Bears — The Great Wall St. Game.” I have never heard of this game and was curious about its history and value. Can you help?

A: “Bulls and Bears — The Great Wall St. Game” was patented in 1883 by the McLoughlin Bros. The box cover had a lithographed picture of a dapper-looking, cane-holding bull talking with an equally well-dressed bear. Bulls and bears are Wall Street symbols. A bull market refers to a market on the rise; a bear market is one declining. Inside the game was a folding

board with Gilded Age stock market characters Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Horace Greeley. There also was a spinning board, play money, contracts and an instruction booklet. A “Bull and Bears” vintage game recently sold at auction for $20,000. It was the top seller in the toy sale that included 450 lots.

• • •TIP: Set heavy garden urns

or statues on a foundation, usually a cement block set in the ground.

Pets shell-shocked by nightly fireworks

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: What is with the constant setting off of loud fireworks almost every night for the past year? My two dogs are so stressed out that they are sleeping with me at night. — Larry H., via email

DEAR LARRY: I experi-enced similar nightly fireworks throughout the pandemic. There are many theories as to why fireworks were so popular, but I prefer to go with the most obvious: Some people had little else to do, and no regard for their neighbors.

My pets are not too fazed by the occasional crackle of firecrackers, which still goes on here even though the pandemic restrictions are mostly lifted. But some of our neighbors had much bigger fireworks and enjoyed setting them off around midnight or later, with no warning. My pets came flying into the bedroom when these were set off.

As a pet owner, it’s frustrat-ing to see our companions suf-fer from someone else’s care-lessness. Even worse, authori-ties haven’t seemed interested in enforcing noise or fireworks regulations.

As we head into the Fourth

of July weekend, plan ahead to make things easier for your pets.

Create a safe space for your dogs to go to when fireworks go off. Some dogs absolutely need this and can’t be comfort-ed by a hug or treats. A friend of mine created a little den in the corner of her mudroom using scrap plywood, putting bedding and old clothes inside so her giant mutt “Ollie” can hide from loud noises.

Talk to your dogs’ vet as well about medication to keep them calmer through the holiday, which may help them better deal with the trauma caused by fireworks.

Hair-trigger flamenco in AndaluciaAs we’ve had to postpone

our travels because of the pandemic, I believe a weekly dose of travel dreaming can be good medicine. Here’s one of my favorite European memo-ries from the south of Spain — a reminder of the fun that awaits us at the other end of this crisis.

In Spain’s Andalucia region, revelry and religiosity go hand in hand. The same passion and energy dedicated to party-ing is put into long, solemn religious processions that clog the narrow streets of its towns and cities. In Andalucia, it seems there’s always some-thing going on. But you’ll miss the action if you’re in your hotel room after dinner. Yes, dinner is late... and the impromptu festivities are often even later. The sun is gone, it’s finally cool, and everyone — young and old — is suddenly energized.

I was enjoying dinner at a restaurant in Cordoba with Isabel, a charming local guide who talks about food with the passion of a mother talk-ing about her children. With the olive oil, the lighting, and her love of the cuisine all just right, every plate seemed to twinkle and shine. The meal was a montage of Spanish delights, from the roasted almonds and spicy green olives that hit the table

automatically, to the local salmorejo (like a thick, bright orange gazpacho), boquerones (anchovies), fried eggplant, and “Arab salad” with cod and delicate orange sections.

The rabo de toro (bull tail stew) was as dark as meat can be… almost inky, even in flavor. The jamon iberico — a gift from the restaurant — was introduced as “the best ham in Spain” and very expen-sive. With its fat not lining the meat but mixed in, it was glistening with flavor. Eating it was the culinary equivalent of pinning a boutonniere onto a tux. The wine was the kind that inspires servers to bring out the special glasses.

Stepping out of the restau-rant, we were swept into a somber procession, poignant and powerful. Trumpets blared a fanfare, children car-ried a homemade float, and candles jostled in unison as the marchers glided in the dark of the night.

I happened to be in Cordoba for the Festival of the Crosses, a competition where each neighborhood parties proudly around its own tower-

ing cross made of red carna-tions. Church bells ring not only a call to prayer, but also a call to fiesta. Locals enthu-siastically use this special day on the church calendar as a springboard for a community party.

The next morning, I stepped out and the neighborhood gang on one square was still lively. It was their first year entering the contest, their cross had won first prize, and it seemed they’d been cel-ebrating ever since. It was a scene of exhausted, hungover happiness — as if they’d been eating, drinking, and danc-ing for 24 hours (which they probably had). Now the cross was abandoned — missing carnations like a bum misses

his teeth — and the danc-ing was over. The last of the revelers gathered around the makeshift bar that seemed to provide physical support for those determined but barely able to carry on. I had to join them.

By joining the scene, I roused the exhausted gang on that little plaza to dance around their tired carnation cross one more time. Within seconds the energy and magic of the previous night’s party had reignited, and the yard was once again thriving with slinky flamenco. Sinuous arms, toned torsos and leggy legs, heels with attitude, flow-ing hair… everything churned with a silky Andalusian soul. Like crickets rattling their

wings in a mating ritual, Andalusian women — dressed in their peacock finery — flut-tered their fans and clicked their castanets.

I’d been in Andalucia for a week, and I realized it’s a hair-trigger flamenco society. I like hair-trigger cultures. Just as Austria is eager to waltz and Ireland is always ready for a good folk song, Andalucia is just waiting for the simplest excuse to grab castanets and dance.

After a few minutes of dancing, I let the tired party die, and everyone resumed their positions — propped up by the bar. I joined them there to say thanks. They filled a bottle cap with a ritual shot of firewater and gave it to me. As

a dozen onlookers watched, I downed it. With my head thrown back, knowing that all Andalusian eyes were on me, I was plunged into what seemed like a long silence. I wanted to say something really clever or meaningful. But I could only come up with a cliche. I sang, “Ole!” And everyone cheered..

RICK STEVES’ EUROPE

California’s $100 million marijuana bailout tells you all you need to know about its governmentJON MILTIMOREFOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION

There are many great mov-ies on the drug trade, but

my personal favorite is Blow. The film stars Johnny Depp as George Jung (aka Boston George), a real-life drug smug-gler who was sentenced to 70 years in prison in 1994.

Like most drug movies, Blowdepicts the highs of the drug trade — parties, mansions, and rooms full of cash — as well as the lows: addiction, paranoia, and a loss of control. One thing that made Blow so good is it showed the incredible demand for drugs.

Whether they are dealing pot or cocaine, George and his partners can’t keep up with the huge demand no matter how much supply they get.

“I think it’s fair to say you underestimated the market,” George tells his business partner, Derek Foreal (Paul Reubens), 36 hours after mov-ing a huge amount of product he said it would “take a year to sell.”

80% Still Not LicensedI bring up Blow in light of

news that California’s legisla-ture approved a $100-million plan to boost California’s strug-gling legal marijuana industry.

As the Los Angeles Timesreports, the industry is in seri-ous trouble. The growth of licensed cannabis shops has been dismal and far below state projections. Just 1,086 retail and delivery firms have been permitted to date — about 82 percent lower than the 6,000 cannabis shops the government anticipated.

How is this possible? Well, shortly after California legal-ized pot in 2016, lawmakers began burdening the industry with so many regulations—particularly myriad compli-ance orders associated with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) — that businesses are drowning under paperwork, fees, and delays.

“Many cannabis growers, retailers and manufacturers have struggled to make the transition from a provisional, temporary license to a perma-nent one renewed on an annual basis — a process that requires a costly, complicated and time-consuming review of the

negative environmental effects involved in a business and a plan for reducing those harms,” the Times reports.

With more than 80 percent of firms in the marijuana indus-try not fully licensed, one might think California lawmakers would be examining the regula-tory framework that is stran-gling the industry. This is not what’s happening, however.

Instead, Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to give marijuana busi-nesses a six-month extension on the Jan. 1 deadline to transi-tion from provisional licenses to full-time licensed shops. (This extension is being vigorously opposed by environmental groups.)

Additionally, the state is shelling out $100 million to help businesses navigate its reg-ulatory labyrinth. Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), the chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee, told the Times “the funds, including $22 million earmarked for L.A., would help cities hire experts and staff to assist businesses in completing the environmental studies and transitioning the licenses to ‘help legitimate busi-nesses succeed.’”

Cannabis industry trade leaders say this isn’t the kind of relief they need, however.

“It is a significant amount of money, but I don’t know that it actually answers the problem of provisional licenses making it through CEQA analysis in a timely manner to get an annual license,” Jerred Kiloh, president of the United Cannabis Business Assn., told the paper. “The real problem is CEQA analysis is a very arduous process. I think it would be good to have more reform of the licensing system instead of just putting money to it.”

‘If It Stops Moving, Subsidize It’

Though marijuana was illegal almost everywhere in the world just a few short years ago, the global market is projected to hit $90 billion by 2026. The reason for this is obvious: there is a huge demand for cannabis, which can be used recreationally, medically, and generally (it supplies various other needs).

This is why Californians were so excited about marijuana

legalization. Just a few years ago, officials were projecting it to be a $5 billion boon to the economy, and politicians were licking their chops at the prospect of $1 billion in new tax revenue for state and local governments, as the legal can-nabis market slowly replaced the illicit market.

This didn’t happen, however. A recent USC study estimated that the number of illegal sales still outnumber the number of legal onces.

“The finding that a larger than expected number of unli-censed facilities are in areas that allow retail suggests that unlicensed retailers are com-peting with licensed retailers, potentially undercutting the sales of the licensed retailers and reducing the taxes paid to the state,” researchers said.

This, sadly, is the modus operandi of the Golden State, where an oppressive tax and regulatory climate has created widespread economic dysfunc-tion. Despite its wealth — with a GDP just under $3 trillion, California has the fifth largest economy in the world — the state has the third highest homeless rate of the 50 states, persistently high housing prices, and leads the nation in poverty rate relatively consis-tently. (This is not to mention the, er, pooping and shoplifting epidemics.)

As one Twitter influencer observed, the only thing you really need to know about how the Golden State is governed is that lawmakers had to create a $100 million bailout for mari-juana, a product in such high demand that the government couldn’t stop it from being trad-ed for decades, despite waging a “War on Drugs.”

California’s effort to save its floundering cannabis industry brings to mind an adage from Ronald Reagan (himself a major proponent of the War on Drugs) on the misguided (and sometimes comical) efforts to regulate the economy.

“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases,” Reagan once quipped. “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, sub-sidize it.”

As ridiculous as this sounds, this is precisely what California

has done.What California Could Learn

From ‘Boston George’According to a 1993 Boston

Globe article, “Boston” George Jung (who died in May) was making nearly $2 million a month (inflation adjusted dol-lars) selling pot before his 1974 arrest in Chicago, when he was busted smuggling 600 pounds

of pot. Jung himself estimates he made about $500 million (2020 dollars) selling drugs in his lifetime.

Say what you will about Jung — a man who dealt with Pablo Escobar and traded in controlled substances — but at least he knew how to make a profit.

That’s something you can’t

say about California lawmak-ers.

Hellstrom. “It’s almost inacces-sible for firefighters up there and it makes it very hard to drop retardant or water right where you need it to be. So, our fire managers are always evalu-ating safe areas that we can work on suppressing this fire.”

Firefighters who have hiked up the mountain are creating vegetation breaks and indirect lines to fight the fire.

“We have been in discussion with local fire agencies about the quickest way to put this out and the safest way to put this out. It’s dangerous, because the fire fighters up there are deal-ing with many hazards- rolling rocks down the hill, trees that are falling- and it’s not always

the safest place to fight a fire,” Hellstom explained.

The current weather had made it hard for firefighters to fight the fire.

“With the weather we have been having, and red flag warn-ings it’s made it very difficult but out first priority is always firefighter safety,” Hellstrom said. So, they are looking at more of an indirect tactic, rath-er than putting firefighters right on the line fighting that fire. We hope to be able to slow it down and contain it.”

The fire has burned over 157 acres and is zero percent con-tained, according to Hellstrom.

No structures are at risk, but residents should prepare for the worst case scenario.

“There are no structures at risk right now,” said Hellstrom. “Although, with the movement that we have seen yesterday (Sunday) with the high winds and red flag warnings, they are

looking in advance of the fire at what could be in danger in a couple of days. At this time residents who live anywhere near the fire don’t need to be concerned but this is a time we always emphasize to people, you know-be prepared. Make sure you are signed up for emer-gency alerts for the county and just be preparing. Be thinking, if I had to leave, what are things I would take? We don’t want to cause any concerns for anyone. There is no immediate threat of an evacuation but the time to prepare for an evacuation is never when the threat is here but beforehand, preparing.”

People should stay off of Hickman Canyon Road and allow firefighters to do their jobs, said Hellstrom.

“This is a narrow, not well accessible road and it is the road that we are taking crews in and out of,” she explained. “That’s where the engines, and the water tenders, and everyone

are coming in and out of. We are asking the public to avoid that area and avoid turning off onto that road. We have come into issues with people turning off onto the road to see the fire and this blocks the equipment from coming up and down. We also have crews up the road sleeping and people keep com-ing up the road into the night. So, we would just ask people to avoid that road. They are wel-come to come up that Mormon Trail Road and pulling off there is fine.”

The Northern Utah Interagency Incident Management team is currently managing the fire.

The U.S Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the State of Utah, Grantsville and Tooele Fire Departments, and the Tooele County Sherriff’s Department, among others, are all working together to extinguish the fire.csutton@tooeletranscript.com

Recently the Christian community celebrated a tremendous day — it

is referred to as “Pentecost Sunday.” It occurs 50 days after Passover, the cru-cifixion of our Lord and Savior Jesus; seven days after Jesus ascended into heaven (Acts 2:1-21).

Many people have heard of the Holy Spirit, but in truth, many do not know exactly what He does, or how vitally important He is.

Of course most people know about Jesus, although they may not know all that Jesus did, or why He did it.

Because we’ve all sinned, every single one of us, God the Son was born as one of us, so that He could live a perfect life in our place, and then offer Himself as our substitute to receive the punishment due to us for our sin. He did this because God cannot ignore sin, not even one sin, and since all of us are sinners, and since we can’t pay for our own sins, God alone was left to pay the price for our sin (Isaiah 43:10-11).

What an amazing thing God did for us. We rebelled against God in sin, and since we could never pay for our sins God paid the price Himself so that He could offer us the opportunity of receiv-ing forgiveness and the gift of eternal life — Exalted Life with God, as a gift. What amazing grace! (Romans 6:23).

Although Christ paid the price for the sins of the whole world, not everyone receives salvation; forgiveness and salva-tion are only given to those who believe in Jesus, repenting of their sins, and putting their faith in Christ alone as the only way to receive the gift of eternal life (John 14:6).

That is where the Holy Spirit comes in. Among the other things He does He convicts us of sin, and He reveals to us

who Christ is, who we are, and why we are in such desperate need of the saving grace of Jesus (John 16:8).

Something important to know about the Holy Spirit is that He is not a force of God, He is God Himself. The Bible reveals to us that there is only one God, but that He exists as three persons — God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. In a manner of speaking they each have different important roles that fall under their purview. One of the Son’s big roles was to be a substitute for us on the cross, providing the way of for-giveness and eternal life.

But how that salvation and eternal life is applied to each of us is primar-ily under the purview of God the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who convicts you of your sin, and of your need to repent and place your faith in Jesus Christ alone. It is not what Jesus did plus what you can do, nor is it what you can do plus what Jesus did; it is what Jesus alone did — He fulfilled all righteous-ness, and paid for all sin.

But it is the Holy Spirit that reveals this to you, as you read or hear the gos-pel, and then, when you put your faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit changes you. He cleanses you of your sins and unrigh-teousness, and He covers you with the righteousness of Christ. He makes you a new creation — a new creature ( Titus 3:4-7; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

In addition, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in your life forever. Remember,

God is Omnipresent — He can dwell everywhere at once. The Holy Spirit lives within you when you are born again, not only to make you a child of God, but also to enable you to do what God expects of His children (1 Corinthians 3:16).

The Holy Spirit teaches you the truth of the Bible, as you spend time reading the Bible, and then He enables you to apply those truths and actions to your life. This is important to realize because many people who read the Bible, espe-cially the New Testament, say, “How can I be like God wants me to be?” The answer is simple: when you are born again through faith in Jesus Christ, God empowers you; He enables you to live a holy and righteous life through the Holy Spirit who is given to you the moment you are born again (John 14:26).

What a wonderful gift; a gift that was first given to believers on that day of Pentecost. It is through the Holy Spirit that you and I are cleansed, and it is through Him that we can live as obedi-ent children of God Most High.

Think about the grace of God: Jesus lived and died for us; He was resur-rected, victorious over sin and death, and because of that the Holy Spirit can apply the work and sacrifice of Christ to our lives when we repent of our sins and place our faith in Christ. He cleanses us, making us a new creation, and then the Father accepts us into His family as chil-dren of God for all eternity.

The Holy Spirit does far more than most people realize, and that is why Pentecost Sunday, the day the Holy Spirit was given to us as a gift, is so pre-cious and important.

TUESDAY June 22, 2021 A11TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

www.tooeleeducationfoundation.org

By Clint Spindler

Investing in yourself and your education is always a good thing! As such, some students have chosen to continue attending classes at Tooele County School District’s valley schools through the month of June, and some others are attending outdoor learning classes at the Ophir Canyon Education Center.

In addition to our regular Ophir Canyon summer offerings, Tooele Education Foundation hosts a couple of partner-sponsored, multi-day STEM Camps (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) each summer as well. During the past two weeks, approximately 90 students participated in these multi-day STEM lessons (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) taught at the education center. We are grateful

to local classroom teachers who were willing to be our teaching cadre for these awesome outings!

On June 8th and 9th, the first camp consisted of students who came to the Center from Grantsville elementary schools. These students were challenged to

immerse themselves in various kinds of art and science lessons. One particular geology activity had students learning about and building volcanoes. Much thanks goes out to Kenna Agaard, and her dedicated teacher friends, who facilitated these lessons while broadening students’ academic horizons.

Our second STEM offering, on June 14th – 16th, had about 50 Tooele Valley sixth grade students engaged with increasing

their knowledge and skills related to concepts like rocketry, and building huts and bridges that withstood great winds. Other learning sessions found students designing catapults and launching cotton balls, and another was centered on constructing boats that traveled on open waters. Many thanks to Kim Nielsen, Mike Sumner, Nancy Fajardo, Carissa Chacon, Suzy Crowe, and Natalie Davies for their wonderful planning and teaching.

Both groups learned a great deal and had an enjoyable time at the Center! The vast majority of participating students expressed how nice it was to be outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life associated with COVID-19. All agreed that taking classes at the Ophir Canyon Education Center is a great way to learn, relax, and simply experience the tranquility of the beautiful Ophir Canyon!

PET OF THE WEEK

MARK WATSONCORRESPONDENT

After falling behind 7-5 after four complete innings, Stansbury scored five runs in the fifth and one more in the sixth to defeat Tooele 11-7 in 19U American Legion baseball Monday night at Tooele’s Dow James Park.

The victory snapped a five-game losing skid for the Stallions. Coach Jason Jones said the team has missed some players throughout the season because of other commitments.

Stansbury scored in the top of the first when Jace Carroll smacked a double to deep cen-ter. He scored after a pair of wild pitches.

The Stallions added another run in the second inning when Trenton Kennedy walked and advanced home by stealing twice and scoring on a wild pitch.

Tooele sliced the Stansbury lead to 2-1 in the second after a walk, two stolen bases and a sacrifice RBI by Hendrix.

The Stallions pushed their lead to 3-1 in the third when Hunter Leiter scored after a walk, error, stolen base and wild pitch.

Tooele scored in the third on a two-out triple by Bryson Byrd. He scored when Stansbury’s relay throw bounced into the Tooele dug-out to make it 3-2 Stallions.

Stansbury added a pair of runs in the fourth when Carroll pounded a two-out RBI double to bring home Aiden Peck and Cole Clinton who had started off the inning with singles to increase the lead to 5-2.

Clinton replaced Carrol on the mound in the fourth for the Stallions

Tooele rallied for five runs in the fourth to take a 7-5 lead. The Buffaloes took advantage of a few walks, a player hit-by-a-pitch and a wild pitch to score runs. Byrd also added a two-RBI hit in the inning.

Stansbury rallied for five runs in the top of the fifth on

walks, errors, stolen bases, a wild pitch and a two-RBI double by Jaxson Bell.

After six complete innings the game ended because of darkness.

In an earlier game, Stansbury’s 17U team defeated Tooele 11-2.mwatson@tooeletranscript.com

to Sierra Hellstrom, from the U.S Forest Service.

The cause of the plane crash has not been released at this time.

“The NTSB investigator wrapped up the on-scene portion of the ongoing inves-tigation and the aircraft was

moved to a secure facility in Phoenix,” said Keith Holloway, a representative of the National Transportation Safety Board. “At this stage of an investigation, the NTSB does not state a cause.”csutton@tooeletranscript.com

TUESDAY June 22, 2021

After hearing the staff report on the rezone and holding a public hearing, the planning commission decided to delay a vote on the request until they receive a traffic study for the proposed project.

Jeff Miller, county planner, said that the county code for the planned community zone does not require a traffic study until the second step of approval, but the planning commission voted to wait until they see a traf-fic study to vote on the rezone request.

However, planning com-mission members referred to a recent County Council meeting where some council members chastised the county planner for accepting a different rezone application without a detailed traffic study as required by the county’s land use ordinance.

“I’m not crazy about the density in the village area (of Oquirrh Point), but it is a better attempt than anything I have seen before,” said planning commission member Craig Smith.

However, Smith noted that prior to voting on a recommen-dation a traffic study should be included with the application.

If approved, Oquirrh Point would have a variety of land uses and housing densities with an overall density of 3.53 dwell-ing units per acre for a total of 1,260 residential units.

The property to be rezoned includes the approximately 109 acres that was the Shoshone Village development, which would have had an average den-sity of three residences per acre. Voters rejected the rezone for Shoshone Village in the 2020 election.

The Oquirrh Point rezone has been allowed to proceed because it has been deemed as substantially different from the

Shoshone Village rezone.Before the public hearing,

Colisomo discussed some of the highlights of his plans for Oquirrh Point.

The 1,260 residential units will be in a variety of den-sity areas. They will include attached-unit residential and single-family detached residen-tial units along with some com-mercial development.

A total of 10% of the resi-dential units, or 122 units, will meet moderate income stan-dards.

The moderate income hous-ing will be spread out in the development instead of segre-gated in one area, according to Colosimo.

Colosimo said he would not oppose raising that to 11% or 12%.

Moderate income housing is defined in state code as “hous-ing occupied or reserved for occupancy by households with a gross household income equal to or less than 80% of the medi-

an gross income for households of the same size in the county in which the city is located.”

The moderate income hous-ing will help the county achieve its moderate income housing plan as required by the state, Colosimo said.

The proposed development would include areas of open space and interconnected trails. Open space areas would be uti-lized as buffers around existing residential development and agricultural lands. The open space will be deed restricted or placed in a conservation ease-ment to keep them as open space, according to Colosimo,

Sewer services will be provided by Stansbury Park Improvement District, with the developer paying to build a four mile sewer line to the development and for all sewer infrastructure within the devel-opment.

Culinary water will be pro-vided by Oquirrh Point Water Company which is a new private

water company being formed to support the Oquirrh Point planned community and sur-rounding future development. Colosimo said he has 800-acre-feet of water rights.

The developers will pay for 50% of the construction of the 33rd Parkway and donate a site for a school, Colosimo said.

Several Erda residents spoke during the public hearing.

“Rezone requests have caused contention in our com-munity, please table this until Erda City can decide,” Jennifer Lawson said.

“Let what people voted for happen, be patient,” said Josh Martin.

Scott Droubay, who farms a large parcel of property adjacent to the proposed development, seemed cautious, but accepting of development as inevitable.

“There is a natural conflict with housing next to large agri-culture operations,” he said. “This is the first time I’ve seen mitigation with open space. It’s

a pretty good plan ... I wish we could avoid it, but it’s better than anybody else has done.”

Diane Christensen said she was “tired.”

“You are bad listeners to us,” she said. “We aren’t against growth, but we want respect-able growth. ... They always want higher density and that’s not what we have here.”

Clyde Christensen expressed concern about water use and depletion of the aquifer.

Allison Kipp asked the plan-ning commission to consider past referendum petitions and votes as part of the public com-ment.

“The State Supreme Court has said public comment is a valid reason to deny a zone change<” she said. “You should consider the petitions and votes as public comment.”

The planning commission will bring the Oquirrh Point back to their agenda for their discussion and a vote after they receive a traffic study.

planning commission.The PC zone and plan are

reviewed by the planning com-mission and approved by the County Council.

Adoption of the PC Zone Plan confers the landowner/applicant with a vested right to proceed with the development process as established in the ordinance, including the num-ber of dwelling units and the square footage of nonresidential uses reflected in the plan.

A proposed development agreement, which is a separate document that is developed by the County Council, is submit-ted for approval by the Council in connection with each PC Zone Plan.

The second step is the community structure plan. It involves major systems for the larger development, such as major roadways, infrastructure, open space networks, and the general location of land use dis-tricts including villages, towns, neighborhoods, and business and research parks.

The community structure plan is reviewed by staff, the planning commission and approved by the County Council.

The third step is the project plan/subdivision plat step. In this step a plan that shows major development parcel loca-tions, open space system, and major infrastructure associated with roadways. Final plats that indicate lot layouts and develop-ment regulations are part of the third step.

The project plan/subdivision plat is approved by the planning commission.

The fourth step in site plan approval. This step involves final site development require-ments for individual sites within the development.

Site plans are approved by county planning staff.

The PC Zone may include a variety of land use districts with a variety of approved and/or conditional uses.

The possible land use districts include:

Neighborhood: This category is designed for comparatively low density mixed use devel-opment that emphasizes resi-dential, both single and multi-family, but also includes office, commercial, public/semi-public, and recreation/open space uses. Residential densities between three to six units per acre may, however under certain condi-tions eight units per acre may permitted.

The Oquirrh Point plan shows 107 acres of neighbors district, or 30% of the land, with 150 single and multi-family residen-tial units.

Village: This category is designed for medium density mixed use development that includes residential, both single and multi-family, and office, commercial, public/semi pub-lic, and recreation/open space uses, without a predetermined emphasis on any single use.

This category may accom-modate residential densities between seven and 20 units per acre, however under certain conditions a residential density of 25 units per acre may be accommodated.

The Oquirrh Point plan shows 138 acres of village district, or 38% of the land, with residen-tial, office, commercial, public/semi public, recreation, open space uses. It shows 1,010 sin-gle and multi-family residential units planned for those districts.

Town Center: This category is designed for high density mixed use development that empha-sizes office, commercial and rec-reational uses, but also includes residential, both single and multi-family, and public/semi-public, and open space uses.

Town center gross residen-tial densities may be approved to exceed 20 units per acre, as deemed appropriate by the County, and may require additional allocations for open space, common areas, and/or recreational amenities.

The Oquirrh Point plan shows 25 acres of town center district, or 7% of the land. It empha-sizes office, commercial and recreational uses, but may also include residential, public/semi public, open space and common areas. The plan calls for 100 residential units of single and multi-family in the town center district.

Business, Research, Technology or Educational Campus: This category is designed to accommodate a campus dedicated to a mixture of business uses: office, com-mercial, industrial, technologi-cal, recreational, and public/semi-public uses; or to an edu-cational institution, including classrooms, laboratories, offices, housing, educational facilities of all types and other related uses.

The Oquirrh Point plan does not show any property in this district.

Open Space: Landscaped area, natural area or farmland that is established to provide and preserve outdoor recre-ational, agricultural, or other similar uses. Landscaped area, natural area or farmland that is established to provide and pre-serve outdoor recreational, agri-cultural, or other similar uses areas of open space may also be provided within the other land use districts as well.

The Oquirrh Point plan shows 90 acres, or 25% of the prop-erty, as open space district.tgillie@tooeletranscript.com
