A Grantsville man is facing charges in two separate cases after he had multiple interac-tions with police over three days.

Keith Charles Bluck, 52, is charged with five counts of third-degree felony possession

of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person. In a second case, Bluck is also charged with second-degree felony assault against a peace officer and third-degree felony posses-sion of a firearm by a restricted person.

Grantsville City police were dispatched to a home on Box

Elder Drive on Feb. 15 at 5:51 a.m. in response to an attempt-ed forced burglary, according to a probable cause statement. The responding officers did not find any footprints in the area of the home or damage where the complainant, identi-fied as Bluck, said intruders were attempting to enter the

property.Later the same day, around

11:57 p.m., officers were dis-patched to Bluck’s residence again on a medical assist, the probable cause statement said. Bluck said he believed he was suffering from strokes from hearing “popping noises” inside his head.

The responding EMS told officers they had been to the residence multiple times, the statement said. Their assess-ment found nothing of con-cern and they advised recent drug use had been involved in the previous incidents they responded to.

On Feb. 16 at 4:46 a.m.,

Grantsville City police were called to Bluck’s property again for suspicious circumstances, according to the probable cause statement. Bluck, who was the complainant, reported an attempted forced entry to his home, and told dispatchers

A bill that modifies state rules for the classification and acceptance of low-level radio-active waste has passed the state House and Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk.

House Bill 220 passed the Senate on Feb. 21 with a 23-6 vote. The next day the House concurred with amendments to HB 220 approved by the Senate, clearing the way for the bill to be sent to Gov. Gary Herbert.

The bill has two purposes: To provide clarity for a policy question and to implement a science-based site and waste specific acceptance model for evaluating and decision mak-ing about low-level radioactive

waste acceptance, according to the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Carl Albrecht, R- Salt Lake City.

“The main policy ques-tion is: ‘When do you classify waste?,’” Albrecht said. “The answer this bill provides is: waste is classified at time of acceptance.”

Opponents of HB 220 believe the determination that waste classification at time of acceptance is a way to get around a state ban on class B and C low-level radioac-tive waste, opens the door to depleted uranium being dis-posed of in the state.

Depleted uranium, a by-product of uranium enrich-ment, is considered class A low-level radioactive waste

A company that operates a medical waste incinerator in North Salt Lake City has pulled the plug on its plan to relo-cate to Tooele County, opting instead to leave the state.

Stericycle, an Illinois-based medical waste service compa-ny, announced last week that it has canceled plans initiated in 2013 to build a medical waste incinerator in Tooele County.

The new incinerator was to be built approximately 11 miles north of Interstate 80’s exit 77. It would have been on the east side of Rowley Road on a 40-acre parcel that Stericycle was negotiating to purchase from the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration.

Company officials estimated the cost of the new facility at $15 million with around 30 employees.

“After continuing to work on the project it became clear that it was not financially or strategically feasible to build at the location in Tooele County,”

said Jennifer Koening, Stericycle spokesperson.

Securing affordable water for the site became a problem, according to Koening.

Stericycle was faced with either drilling a well and installing an expensive treat-ment system to treat the brack-ish water, piping in water from a long distance, or trucking water in, she said.

In 2014, the Division of Air Quality fined Stericycle $2.3 million for air quality permit violations that occurred at Stericycle’s North Salt Lake facility between 2011 and 2013. But in a settlement agreement with Stericycle, the state offered the company half-off the fine if it relocated to Tooele County within three years of obtaining all state and local permits.

A Department of Environmental Quality official said state officials have not had time to review the impact of Stericycle’s decision on the settlement agreement.

Regular UTA riders and those curious about the public transit system will be able to ride for free this Thursday and Friday.

Free Fare Days will run Feb. 28 and March 1, spon-sored by Salt Lake County, Intermountain Healthcare, the Salt Lake City Mayor’s Office and Davis County. On those days, all bus and train fare will be waived throughout the system, which spans Tooele, Davis, Box Elder, Summit, Salt

Lake, Davis, Weber and Utah counties.

“This year, we would espe-cially like to encourage people to try riding the bus,” said Carlton Christensen, chairman of the UTA Board of Trustees, in a release. “We have increased bus route coverage and frequency on many routes, are increasing the use of natu-ral gas and electric vehicles in our fleet, and are working with Salt Lake City on improving bus service.”

There are six bus routes that service Tooele County, includ-

ing three routes that connect to Salt Lake County and three intra-county flex routes. Bus routes 451, 453 and 454 pro-vide weekday morning and afternoon service for Tooele and Grantsville commuters to Salt Lake.

The 451 and 454 routes run from Tooele and Grantsville, respectively, to downtown Salt Lake in the morning, then back to their origin in the afternoon. The 453, which runs from between Salt Lake and Tooele via Salt Lake International Airport, has one morning run

from Salt Lake to Tooele, but otherwise follows the schedule for Tooele County commuters with regular work hours.

The three flex routes, with two in Tooele and one in Grantsville, provide local ser-vice and connect to other UTA bus routes. In addition to the planned route, flex route rid-ers can call ahead to schedule a detour to the route of up to three-quarters of a mile.

Requests for detours to flex routes can be scheduled by calling 801-287-7433 between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. If the

detour is before 11 a.m., riders need to make the request the day before.

The last time UTA offered free fare for its services was Dec. 22, 2017, sponsored by Salt Lake County and the Salt Lake City Council. During the free day, UTA’s commuter train service and buses saw an increase of 23 percent in usage, with a total of approxi-mately 31,732 additional boardings. [email protected]

After three attempts, Thatcher’s victim’s bill heads to SenateTIM GILLIEEDITOR

For the first time in three years, Sen. Daniel Thatcher’s bill for enhancing penalties for crimes when the victim is targeted based on personal attributes is headed to the full Senate for a vote.

The Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement, and Criminal Justice Committee held a public hearing on Senate Bill 103, Victim Targeting Penalty Enhancements, on Feb. 21 at the state Capitol. After the hearing, the committee voted 7-0 to recommend that the full Senate pass the bill.

“It’s looking good,” said Thatcher. “There is some oppo-sition, but I’m hopeful that we will get the bill passed this year.”

While some are calling Thatcher’s proposal a hate crimes bill, when Thatcher

introduced the bill three years ago, he went through great lengths to avoid that label.

“We’re not creating any new crimes,” he said. “And we’re not outlawing hate. That’s not constitutional.”

Thatcher’s bill provides for the penalty for a crime to be enhanced by one level, such as from a Class B to a Class A misdemeanor, after it has been proven that the perpetra-tor intentionally selected the victim because of the victim’s “personal attributes.”

The personal attributes listed in SB 103 are: age, ancestry, disability, ethnicity, familial status, gender identity, homelessness, marital status, matriculation, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual ori-entation, service in the U.S. Armed Forces, status as an emergency responder, and sta-tus as a law enforcement offi-cer, correctional officer, special function officer, or any other peace officer.

The bill contains language stating that the penalty enhancements will not affect or limit constitutional rights to free expression or other con-stitutional rights. The bill also clarifies that the list of per-sonal attributes does not create a special or protected class for any purpose other than for penalty enhancement.

“We treat crimes individu-ally all the time with aggravat-ing and mitigating circum-stances,” Thatcher said. “There is a fundamental difference between painting a swastika and the words ‘Die Jew’ on a synagogue and spray painting your girlfriend’s name on an overpass.”

Sim Gill, District Attorney for Salt Lake County, spoke in favor of the bill.

“The fear from these crimes is very real,” Gill said. “This bill is a balanced approach. ... It is constitutionally sound.”

Representatives of the United Jewish Federation of Utah, Equality Utah, the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Salt Lake City, the LGBT Suicide Prevention Work Group, Chabad Lubavitch of Utah, the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, and the Utah Parent Teacher Association also spoke in favor of the bill.

Former state representa-tive LaVar Christensen, Gayle Ruzicka with the Eagle Forum, and Connor Boyack with the Libertas Institute spoke in opposition to the bill.

Christensen asked the sena-tors to look at amending cur-rent state law before writing new legislation.

The list of attributes listed in the law leave Ruzicka out of the proposed law’s protections,

she said.Ruzicka said she receives

threats on her life by email and she and her family get threat-ening phone calls, but the bill would not provide penalty enhancements to protect her.

With the Senate committee’s approval, HB 103 is now wait-ing for a vote of the full Senate

and then it heads to the House.“Having the governor’s sup-

port, the LDS Church’s state-ment not opposing the bill, the support of the business community, and support from our cities and counties have made a difference this year,” Thatcher said.

Preliminary plan for 125-home subdivision OK’d by city councilSTEVE HOWESTAFF WRITER

The Tooele City Council approved the preliminary plan for the next five phases of a development in Overlake, which encompass 125-single family homes during its meet-ing last Wednesday.

The first phase of the devel-opment, located near the inter-section of 500 W. 2000 North, is already under construction and almost built out, according to Jim Bolser, the city’s director of community development. The additional 125 homes will be built on 30.5 acres of land

that is zoned for medium-density residential, with lot sizes ranging from .14 acres to .33 acres.

The remaining phases of the development will be built west of the initial phase, beginning with 31 lots on the north edge of the property. The remaining phases range between 18 and 30 lots.

The initial phase already under construction includes 49 lots and road connections to the second, third, fourth and fifth phases.

The project is compliant with the city standards and

was given a unanimous posi-tive recommendation from the city’s planning commission, Bolser said. The land use map in the city’s general plan called for single-family residential housing on the property.

After a brief question about the phasing from City Councilman Dave McCall, the City Council unanimously approved the preliminary plan on a motion by McCall, seconded by City Councilman Brad Pratt. City Councilwoman Melodi Gochis was absent. [email protected]

TUESDAY February 26, 2019 A3TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

MARK WATSONCORRESPONDENT

Tooele High School drama students wanted to take this week’s production of “West Side Story” to a higher level than back in 2012 when THS presented the timeless clas-sic that features music by Leonard Bernstein.

“This has been a big team effort from the seniors. We wanted it to be better than the previous ‘West Side Story,’” said student co-director Christian Harvey.

Harvey and fellow senior Jake Lemmon are double-cast as lead character Tony in the production that opened Monday night.

Both also serve as choreog-raphers for many of the danc-es, along with Eden Legge, Chloe Kerr, Camille Rich, Ian Rockwell and Tanya Unruh. Kerr is also the music director for the play. Other assistant directors are Teresa Dixon and Terry McGovern.

“I’m really proud of our performance tonight,” Lemmon said after Monday’s show. “The emotion was defi-nitely there on stage tonight. The dancing is hard to do but the difficulty is needed. The seniors and newcomers have been great in learning the dances.”

Harvey said the dances are difficult. “Everything has to be precise and together,” he

said.Drama teacher and direc-

tor J. Scott Henrie said the students’ dancing, singing and stage-fight choreography are amazing.

“The ballet meets the rum-ble,” he said.

“This Broadway clas-sic story just keeps getting younger and younger. It is just as appropriate today as it was in the mid-1950s when it opened on Broadway and in the early 1960s, when the film adaption came out,” Henrie said. “Like its inspira-tion, Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ it is funny and touching and inspirational.”

Henrie said that many of his current students remem-ber the school’s “West Side Story” production back in 2012 and it turned them on to theatre.

“My current students were in the second, third, fourth and fifth grades in 2012,” Henrie said. “They made a goal clear back then to be in theatre when they got to high school and to be in a produc-tion of ‘West Side Story’ some-day.”

Kerr and Kaitlyn Pankowski star as Maria in the play while Ian Rockwell and Garrett Vorwaller play Riff with Si Sarmienta as Bernardo, and Eden Legge and Camille Rich as Anita.

The play runs Tuesday

through Saturday and Monday at 7 p.m. There also is a matinee at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Prices for evening per-formances are $8 for adults and $5 for students, senior citizens and children. Matinee prices are $7 for adults and $4 for students, seniors and children.

The school is located at 301 W. Vine [email protected]

by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. But over time it exceeds the radioactivity of class B and C waste, accord-ing to Matt McCarty, a chem-ist and a resident of Tooele County.

“Don’t rush into this,” McCarty told the senate com-mittee that considered HB 220. “Don’t take a scientific process and try to make it a political one for the good of the state so that we don’t permanently contaminate our soil and our groundwater.”

Along with the provision that waste is classified at the time it is accepted, the bill states that class B and C low-level radioactive waste may not be accepted by a facility in the state.

The bill requires the direc-tor of the Division of Waste Management and Waste Control to classify low-level

radioactive waste for disposal based on an evaluation of the specific characteristics of the waste, disposal site, and method of disposal. If, after considering those factors, the director finds that with rea-sonable assurance the waste can be disposed of with com-pliance to safety standards and dose limits, it may be accepted by the facility.

The bill allows the Waste Management and Radiation Control Board to adopt rules to implement the provisions of the bill. It also allows 90 days for a legislative review of the director’s decision.

The bill singles out deplet-ed uranium with additional requirements for acceptance. Prior to the acceptance of over a metric ton of depleted uranium, not only is a perfor-mance assessment required, the federal government must take ownership and accept permanent stewardship for the waste and the land where it will be disposed.

The bill also imposes a

12 percent tax on the gross receipts from concentrated depleted uranium, a 10 per-cent tax on gross receipts from containerized waste, and a 5 percent tax from gross receipts from uncon-tainerized waste received under the provisions of the bill.

Passed by the House and the Senate, HB 220 now goes to Herbert for his action. The state constitution gives the governor 20 days from the end of the legislative ses-sion to take action on bills approved by both houses. The governor may sign the bill or veto the bill. If he takes no action by the end of the 20-day time limit, the bill becomes law without his sig-nature.

So far the state Legislature has passed 140 bills during the 2019 general session. The governor has signed nine of them: eight budget related bills and the Medicaid expan-sion adjustments [email protected]

As of three weeks ago, the name “Jussie Smollett” would have been known only by the fans

of the TV series, “Empire.” But since Smollett decided to take matters into his own hands by staging a “hate crime,” his name has been printed, posted and plastered across America.

According to the Washington Post, “The 36-year old ‘Empire’ actor filed a false police report when he claimed he was attacked last month in downtown Chicago by two men who shouted slurs and physically assaulted him. The incident captured national attention.”

As I write this article for Matters of Faith, Smollett’s case is still pending as many within the nation try and fig-ure out if he really is a victim of a hate crime, or if he is just the “boy crying wolf” in order to draw attention to himself. If he is truly a victim of a crime, we need to rally around him and all victims of hate crimes in order to ensure their safety and protection; however, if Smollett is doing nothing but crying “wolf,” he needs to be pros-ecuted to the fullest extent of the law so that he and others will know and believe that they cannot falsely accuse others of crimes, receive national attention and walk away scot-free.

I believe that Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson nailed this fall-out from Smollett right on the head when he said, “Bogus police reports [like this] cause real harm. They do harm to every legitimate victim who is in need of support by police and investigators, as well as the citizens of the city.”

In the same vein, tone and concern as Johnson, Reverend Gregory Seal Livingston, pastor of Chicago’s New Hope Baptist Church, stated, “What [Smollett] did could make it harder for the straight, gay, black, white,

rich, poor folks here in Chicago and in the nation. How much more cau-tious are police going to be to extend credibility and resources to a real hate crime?”

Although the verdict regarding Smollett’s guilt or innocence is not in at this time, many around the nation can already see the “writing on the wall” or the consequence of what happens when people like Smollett falsely draw attention to themselves: They make it just a little more dif-ficult for true victims of hate crimes to actually receive attention or to be believed, and that’s the real crime! As in Aesop’s fable, “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” there is the risk that villag-ers will not believe the “boy” or the “shepherd” and therefore, when a real wolf does appear, it will be written off as a false alarm.

We know that with each new false report, it becomes easier for us to “bury our heads in the sand” a little deeper by pretending that hatred, racism, prejudice or bigotry are not as prevalent as they once were dur-ing the slavery movement or during the time of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Therefore, we can somehow put these issues on the back burner of our nation and continue moving forward, right?

I recently read an article called, “Sorry haters — A handful of hoaxes doesn’t debunk the hate-crime real-ity,” by Goldie Taylor and Katie Zavadski. They state, “While skeptics fixate on a handful of false reports,

the number of real hate crimes has been rising across the United States. New York City has seen a 31 percent rise in hate crimes so far this year compared to the same period last year, with the number directed at Muslims going up by more than 100 percent. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported 867 incidents tar-geting African Americans, Muslims, immigrants, women and the LGBT community. Online harassment was not included in the tally.”

I’m confident that the hate crimes that we have within our nation are not only affecting the adults who belong to different races, color or creeds; these hate crimes are also trickling down to the children in our schools. While doing some research, I stumbled across an excellent 40-page report for principals, teachers and parents called, “Responding to hate and bias at school — a guide for administrators, counselors and teach-ers.” As pastors, parents and teach-ers, we might not have time to read a 40-page report about hatred or bully-ing in schools, but we do need to do our best to ensure that “bullying” gets addressed several times throughout the year in order to protect the chil-dren and in order to teach them to respect others.

We may never fully understand what Smollett was thinking when he filed that police report, but we cannot afford to let his case cloud our desire to reach out and help others who are considered to be victims of hate crimes, and where does this outreach begin? It begins in the home; it begins with you and me.

“Let there be peace, and let it begin with you and me!”

OUR VIEW

There is a proposed bill before the Utah Legislature that if passed could provide more guidelines for gravel pit operations across the state, but also limit local jurisdiction as well.

As reported in last Tuesday’s edition, the Legislature is considering House Bill 288, which is titled “Critical Infrastructure Materials.” Such materials include sand, gravel or rock aggregate excavated from gravel pits and used for construction. “Critical” presumably refers to the impor-tance of aggregate that is in high demand because of Utah’s current growth boom.

Sponsored by Rep. Logan Wilde, R-Croydon, the bill passed the House Natural Resources, Environment and Agriculture Committee on Friday. Key provisions include creating critical infrastructure materials protec-tion areas (gravel pits), protecting their operations, adding or removing land from those areas, and limiting local regulation.

Yet, the bill also requires that the owner of a vested critical infrastruc-ture materials operation bears the burden of proof that the gravel pit has been established in accordance with a legal nonconforming use or permit, and is therefore permanently protected.

Furthermore, the owner may expand the gravel pit only if the land is already owned by the owner, is contiguous with the current operation, is zoned for vested critical infrastructure materials operations, and is in accordance with a legal nonconforming use or permit.

But the next key point, specifically the last sentence, perhaps explains best HB 288’s real purpose. The owner of any new subdivision develop-ment located within 1,000 feet of an existing gravel pit must provide the following notice on any plat filed with the county recorder:

“This property is located in the vicinity of an established vested criti-cal infrastructure materials operation in which critical infrastructure materials operations have been afforded the highest priority use status. … The use and enjoyment of this property is expressly conditioned on acceptance of any annoyance or inconvenience that may result from such normal critical infrastructure materials operations.”

The proposed bill also requires that a city or county in which a vested gravel pit operates may not enact a law, ordinance or regulation that would “unreasonably restrict” the operation unless it “bears a direct relationship to public health or safety…” or unless it receives written approval from each gravel pit operator within the relevant area.

For officials and citizens concerned about potential health risks relat-ed to gravel pits, namely silicosis caused by airborne dust, “acceptance of any annoyance or inconvenience” is unlikely. The proposed bill doesn’t define what is “normal” gravel pit operations, yet defines the rights of a vested gravel pit owner to “use, operate, construct, reconstruct, restore, maintain, repair, alter, substitute, modernize, upgrade, and replace equipment, processes, facilities, and buildings on any surface or subsur-face land” that the gravel pit operator “owns or controls.”

With Tooele County having several active gravel pits near residential areas, local officials, concerned citizens and gravel pit operators/own-ers need to closely watch HB 288 to make sure fairness prevails when it proceeds to a full vote.

Such fairness bears in mind that gravel pits provide needed resources for building roads, homes and structures, which are in high demand, but may also pose potential health risks. Yet, as the county continues to grow and residential and commercial areas encroach on existing gravel pits, striking a balance may be easier said than done.

The day has arrived in the Democratic Party when Sherrod Brown is a kind of

moderate.The impeccably progressive

Ohio senator who has long occu-pied a spot on the left flank of the Democratic caucus is declining to sign up for the fashionable radical causes of the hour.

Brown has not endorsed the Bernie Sanders “Medicare-for-all” plan that contemplates the end of private insurance in America, nor for the outlandishly expensive and eminently mockable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “Green New Deal.”

This marks Brown out from other Democratic senators run-ning for president, who aren’t letting practicality or future wor-ries about a general election keep them from putting their names to legislation that will never pass and opens them up to obvious attacks.

A variety of forces tether Brown to reality more than his colleagues. He’s been in elected politics his entire adult life, and although he’s been willing to go his own way — he voted against the Defense of Marriage Act in the 1990s when that wasn’t popular — he’s pragmatic enough not to get carried away with wild enthu-siasms.

He’s managed to thrive in an increasingly red state. In 2016, Donald Trump handily won Ohio. The state is not Alabama, but it’s not New York or California either, where a Democrat can discount any need to appeal to culturally conservative voters.

Finally, Brown’s base is unions that have no patience for pie-in-the-sky environmental schemes that threaten their jobs, or radi-cal schemes to overturn current health care arrangements when

many of them have gold-plated plans they want to protect.

All of this means that Brown has the sense to steer clear of pro-posals that will almost certainly diminish a Democrat’s chances of beating Trump.

On paper, Brown looks like a strong general election candidate, and not just because he’s avoiding ridiculous excesses.

The natural play for Democrats in 2020 would be to nominate someone, like Brown, who has a good chance of winning back the Blue Wall states and therefore put-ting away the election (barring some unforeseen event that opens up Hillary states to Trump).

There’s little doubt that Brown would have won against Trump in 2016. He has a much stronger connection to working-class voters than Hillary Clinton, and never would have dismissed them or the Upper Midwest. He came up in politics hanging out in union halls, and warns against coastal conde-scension toward the Midwest.

Brown can claim some measure of vindication with the rise of Trump. It has moved the center of gravity of American politics in his direction. Brown’s economic popu-lism is no longer an outlier.

The question is whether the Democratic Party is leaving behind

GUEST OPINION

GUEST OPINION

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence addressed a group of European dignitaries at a conference in

Warsaw, Poland, meant to rally sup-port for Middle Eastern peace, and he appeared visibly shocked by the audi-ence’s reaction to parts of his speech.

“The time has come for our European partners to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and join with us as we bring the economic and diplo-matic pressure necessary to give the Iranian people, the region and the world the peace, security and freedom they deserve,” Pence said.

The vice president stopped for applause after this line — and was met with complete silence. He visibly bristled before continuing.

What’s wrong with Europeans? Why aren’t they applauding the desire for peace? Perhaps because Europeans long ago learned the lesson that “peace” is often just a euphemism for more war.

From the outset, the conference was a game of semantics to mask overt enthusiasm for further armed conflict. Originally billed as a conference about Iran, it was then labeled a Middle Eastern peace conference, with “peace” obviously defined as a Middle East run entirely by America’s allies:

Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The message was that such peace can only be achieved by bringing Iran to heel through conflict.

The usual anti-Iran activists from the Donald Trump administration were on hand in Warsaw: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, and Trump attorney and frequent Iranian opposition rally speaker Rudy Giuliani. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined them and capped the summit by succinctly explaining in a tweet (later deleted and walked back) what it was really all about: meeting openly with Arab-state allies “to advance the common interest of war with Iran.”

So, where was noted war hawk John Bolton? How could Trump’s national security adviser possibly miss an Iranian regime-change event that seemed to be right up his alley?

Turns out that Bolton may have been a bit too preoccupied with

Venezuelan regime change to make it. He jumped on Twitter last week in an apparent attempt to encourage Venezuela’s military to revolt.

“The international financial circle is closing around Maduro and his cronies, Bolton tweeted. “The time for the Venezuelan military to do the right thing is now. It is not too late to side with democracy, humanitarian

assistance, and the future of Venezuela.”

Bolton used a classic Trojan horse entry point for war: “humanitarian assistance.”

More than 30 years ago, a high-ranking State Department official used a similar justi-fication for having weapons shipped to the Nicaraguan Contras.

“Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams has defended his role in authorizing the ship-ment of weapons on a humani-tarian aid flight to Nicaraguan rebels, saying the operation was ‘strictly by the book,’” the New York Times reported in August 1987.

Go figure that Pompeo has just appointed the same Elliott Abrams from the Iran-Contra era as a special envoy to Venezuela — and there’s a controversy over Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro not allowing “humanitarian aid” shipments into the country. Where are my neon legwarm-ers and acid-wash jeans? It’s the 1980s all over again!

It’s not as if other countries couldn’t supply Venezuela with boxes of humanitarian-aid goodies that don’t have weap-ons buried in them like Cracker Jack prizes. But Maduro is sure to be ripped for not letting in “aid” from regime-change pro-

ponents.Now if only there were a

way to link Venezuela and Iran together in this regime-change refrain. Then, maybe Bolton could enjoy the convenience of tweeting about a Venezuelan coup d’etat from Iranian coup d’etat conferences.

It turns out that Pompeo has that angle covered already.

“People don’t recognize that Hezbollah has active cells [in Venezuela],” Pompeo told Fox Business earlier this month. “The Iranians are impacting the people of Venezuela and throughout South America. We have an obligation to take down that risk for America.”

The problem is that when the U.S. addresses these sup-posed risks, it often becomes the rest of the world’s problem. From Afghanistan and Syria to Libya and Yemen, Europe has had to pitch in with the clean-up and deal with the waves of refugees that result from such interventions.

Trump is already grappling with the migration problem on America’s southern border. To what extent is that problem also being caused by economic sanctions and interventionist meddling in those migrants’ countries? When will America stop shooting itself in the foot and actually try to foster stabil-ity in these countries instead of pretending that stability can only come about through fur-ther conflict?

These members of the Trump administration travel

across the Atlantic and lecture Europeans using American-values vocabulary such as “peace, security and freedom.” But when Europeans know that lurking behind such rhetoric is more war and instability, it’s really not reasonable to expect applause.

TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN A5

Something important has been lost in the embarrassing saga of

Jussie Smollett, the tuna fish sandwich-loving actor and anti-Trump activist, and those muscular Nigerian brothers.

And I suppose it’s easy to lose what’s important with all the panic and intersectional hatred and liberal identity poli-tics gone bad in this Smollett story.

What’s been lost is this:I’m told that two-dozen

detectives were assigned to the Smollett case. Can Chicago afford that, what with all the unsolved murders and shoot-ings in this town?

No.There were some 18 people

killed in Chicago after Smollett began telling his story in late January, that story in which he cast himself as the hero, about having to fight off pro-Trump racists.

Now it turns out that the pro-Trump racists, who he says put a noose around his neck, may actually be his friends: two muscular Nigerian broth-ers who may or may not have been paid in this deal.

Either way, his story is he fought them off. Even though he had a cellphone in one hand, a tuna sandwich in the other.

Smollett must be a certified bad---. His sandwich survived.

But two-dozen detectives assigned to check out his story that he was a victim of a politi-cally inspired pro-Trump hate crime, a story that is unravel-ing by the second?

Even in Chicago, a city known for its unending vio-lence and political corruption, assigning two-dozen detectives seems a bit overdone.

I could go with a lower number — say 20 detectives — given to me by someone who knows.

But that’s still high given all the homicides that are never solved.

Chicago has an abysmal homicide clearance rate of about 17 percent. Chicago’s detective ranks have been deci-mated by attrition and idiotic

shortsighted political manage-ment. There aren’t enough detectives. That’s an issue in the mayoral campaign.

Thousands of people have been murdered in Chicago over the past few years, and thousands and thousands more have been shot and survived.

They’re alive because of the wonders of trauma center tech-nology and the brilliance of ER doctors, and the hard work of Chicago Fire Department para-medics.

Even so, the city is numb to physical violence on the street. And numb to the emotional violence exerted by the politi-cal class.

But two dozen detectives for Smollett just doesn’t seem right. Make no mistake. I’m not blaming the detectives or the Chicago Police Department.

They work for a politician. His name is Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who famously announced a few years ago that a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.

And when Smollett told his amazing story, about being a black gay man attacked by racist Trump supporters on one of the coldest nights of the year, the media was all over it. National politicians were all over it.

They bought it without question.

“This was an attempted modern-day lynching,” tweet-ed Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris of California. “No one should ever have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.”

Sen. Cory Booker, the New Jersey Democrat, issued a simi-lar tweet, although it saddened me that his mythical friend, the dangerous drug dealer T-Bone, had nothing to say.

But other Democrats fell in line. And CNN and many

who earn their livings in the Washington-New York liberal media echo chamber rushed to judgment. So did a few in Chicago, but Chicago reporters had more healthy skepticism than their national counter-parts.

It was a perfect anti-Trump story. It fit the prevailing nar-rative of many in the media (who are themselves liberal Democrats) that Trump sup-porters are racist and just itch-ing to find some minorities to beat up.

Just a few weeks ago, the same media and Twitter mob descended upon those Covington High School boys and blamed them for race hatred in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

It turned out the boys were innocent. But the social justice warriors of the left shrugged and moved on, looking for the next story with which to portray America as a hateful nation — because it fits their politics — and some found it in Smollett.

For a list of media examples, you might want to go to Mediaite and the article “Did the Media Jump the Gun on the Jussie Smollett Story?” by Caleb Howe.

Or you might consider CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin. She looked into the camera, and sighed, and her sigh was full of her politics.

“This is America in 2019,” she said.

We get it, Brooke. We’re terrible. Donald Trump is the president, and everything’s gone to hell.

There’s nothing new there. Trump is a political-lightning-rod president, inspiring irratio-nal hate in some and irrational adoration in others and most likely both groups are tribal and wrong.

But America isn’t a hateful nation. America is the least hateful nation, and the best hope of humankind on Earth.

A few weeks ago, after Smollett began telling his tale — in which he’s the hero fight-ing oppression and hatred — a 1-year-old child was shot in the

head.It looked like a street gang

may have been targeting his mother. She’s been shot before. The child, Dejon Irving, is on life support.

I don’t think there were two-dozen detectives assigned to Dejon Irving’s case. But he’s not a star to be used by politi-

cians in pursuit of power. He’s not a symbol.

Politicians don’t tweet his name. He’s just a little boy from Chicago, shot in the head.

Brown’s style of politics. The left’s disdain for working-class whites has, if anything, grown over the first two years of the Trump presidency. And like Bernie Sanders, Brown will have the disadvantage of being a white male more interested in class rather than racial poli-tics.

Part of Brown’s calculation has to be that he can leave the crowded left-most lane in the primary to others. And, so, yes, it has come to this: In the inflamed, #resistance-driven contemporary Democratic Party, Sherrod Brown is a voice of relative moderation.

Fire at fish food factory damages equipmentSTEVE HOWESTAFF WRITER

A fire at the Skretting USA plant in Tooele City Friday evening was contained to a large hopper, not damaging the surrounding structure, according to Tooele City Fire

Chief Rick Harrison. Tooele City firefighters

were dispatched to the fish food factory at 720 E. 2400 North around 7:50 p.m. on Feb. 22, according to Harrison. When fire crews arrived on scene, heavy

smoke was coming through the roof of the facility.

The hopper, a two-story structure that held the prod-uct prior to bagging, caught fire, Harrison said. While the interior machinery was dif-ficult to reach, firefighters

were able to knock down the fire before it spread to other areas in the facility.

The piece of machinery is likely a loss, Harrison said, but no employees or firefighters were injured in the fire. All employees had

evacuated the building by the time firefighters were on scene.

A total of 25 Tooele City firefighters responded to the fire, according to Harrison. [email protected]

One of Tooele Education Foundation’s goals is to be a community builder whereby making a positive difference in the lives of students and staff – this is the purpose of TEF’s newly established partnership with one of our local businesses, Purple. Last week’s Transcript Bulletin reported that TEF has “climbed into bed” with Purple. While I am not sure that our relationship is at this stage of intimacy…lol, I am able to share that this courtship is going quite well.

Dr. Ed Dalton, TEF’s Director of Resource Development, has been working tirelessly to develop this partnership for a couple of years now. Many discussions and planning sessions have taken place, and an agreement was solidified when Casey McGarvey, Purple’s Chief Legal Officer, became more directly involved in these sessions. With Casey’s participation, the evolution of our relationship became more accelerated and based on trust and understanding. Hence, it has reached a point where it is providing some wonderful educational benefits to further enhance our community.

The initial collaborative projects we are rolling out are scholarships, the “innovative learning factory”, and a sharing of Purple products throughout

Tooele County School District. These elements comprise the beginning of what we believe will become a mutually benefiting endeavor for many years to come. It is our hope that teamwork will provide opportunities for some of our graduating seniors to stay local and continue their education at institutions like Tooele Technical College and the Utah State University Tooele campus. At the same time, we would like to see some of these graduating students think about becoming employees with Purple. All of this in turn, helping to leverage and strengthen conditions right here in our local community.

TEF has the ability to

serve as a hub of the local community. As such, the Foundation actively involves our community in achieving its learning goals by reaching out to create partnerships that extend learning opportunities. Some partnerships, like Purple’s, takes the shape of apprenticeships, community service, the use of experts and resources, implementing community-based exhibitions and celebrations of student work, design and innovation, and coordinating programs and projects that include collaboration with students and teachers.

We believe our unique partnership with Purple offers exciting synergy that will enrich our community and become a game-changer on behalf of students and teachers!

Kip spent many years as a skilled carpenter, taking great pride in his concrete finish-ing and other carpentry skills. His latest work included the remodeling of several schools throughout the Salt Lake Valley with Hughes Construction.

Dad enjoyed NASCAR, often making us turn on the TV while he was helping us with household tasks so that he could hear it from the room in which he was working, which almost always resulted in him putting the task off until the next weekend so that he could enjoy the race. He was also an avid pool player, and enjoyed hunting for quite a few years.

Increasing alcohol limits in Utah beer gets Senate support

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Senate is approving a proposal to raise low alco-hol limits for beer sold at gro-cery and convenience stores.

The measure easily passed on Monday even though it’s opposed by the influential Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and local brewers who say it unfairly

upends their business model. The proposal would

increase the alcohol limit from 3.2 percent to 4.8 per-cent by weight, the amount in most standard production-line beers.

Most other states have shed similar limitations, spurring some large brewers to stop making lower-alcohol

products for a diminished market of just two states.

Republican sponsor Sen. Jerry Stevenson says the measure is a business bill that will allow store owners to keep their shelves stocked.

It must pass one more vote in the Senate before going to the House of Representatives.

he would shoot any intruders. Officers made contact

with Bluck, who said intrud-ers attempted to enter the front and rear doors on his property, the statement said. Grantsville City police offi-cers did not find tire tracks, footprints or damage in those areas.

While speaking with Bluck, the responding offi-cer noticed he had dilated eyes, excited speech, dif-ficulty standing still and was grinding his teeth, the probable cause statement said. The characteristics were “indicative of methamphet-amine use,” according to the responding officer.

Officers found a loaded revolver on the wooden table in the residence and Bluck said he had numerous firearms in a safe at the resi-dence, but could not recall how many, the statement said. Due to Bluck’s appar-ent hallucinations, possible drug use and willingness to use firearms against those apparent hallucinations, the responding officer placed Bluck into their custody.

While waiting inside the officer’s vehicle, Bluck claimed a man in a “bear cos-tume” was standing in front of his residence, the probable cause statement said. None of the three officers at the property at the time saw an individual fitting the descrip-tion.

When questioned by police, Bluck denied using methamphetamine and said he would take any test to prove he hadn’t used recently, the statement said. At the Grantsville City Police Department, Bluck submitted to a urine test, which came back positive for meth.

A search warrant for Bluck’s blood and his resi-

dence, for possession of fire-arms, were requested and granted, the probable cause statement said. Both warrants were granted and executed, with 31 firearms seized.

Bluck was later released from jail and returned to his home, the probable cause statement said.

Grantsville City police were then dispatched again to Bluck’s home on Feb. 17 at 5:08 a.m., according to the statement. He claimed “he was resurrecting something and needed to complete the ritual.”

When officers arrived at his home, Bluck said he had a 12-gauge shotgun and was “going to blow the officer’s head off,” the probable cause statement said. Officers set up a perimeter and made contact with Bluck in the garage, where he was holding the container from a vacuum and claiming he was trying to save its life.

Officers held Bluck at gun-point, as he was holding a large pair of pliers he refused to put down, the statement said. Bluck was detained and officers entered his home to clear it, where they discov-ered a loaded firearm on his couch.

At the police department, Bluck admitted he planned to use the firearm to shoot through the doors at the police officers outside his home, according to the prob-able cause statement.

During his initial appear-ance in 3rd District Court on Monday, Bluck’s attorney, Scott Kunkel, motioned for his release, but prosecutors objected to his release. Bail was denied by 3rd District Court Judge Matthew Bates, but a bail hearing was set for March 12 at 9 a.m.

Bluck was also assigned a scheduling conference in both cases on April 2 at 9 a.m. during Monday’s court [email protected]

Stericycle first approached Tooele County officials about relocating to the county in 2013.

Stericycle received a con-ditional use permit for an incinerator from the County Planning Commission in July 2014 after a 3-2 vote.

During the public hearing for the conditional use permit, some local citizens suggested that Stericycle should be placed near hazardous waste facilities further west in the county.

However, the SITLA prop-erty that Stericycle was looking at in the county was already zoned for general manufactur-ing, which allows incinerators as a conditional use.

Representatives of Stericycle also pointed out that medical waste incinerators are not clas-sified as a hazardous industry by the state.

The conditional use permit required that Stericycle receive and comply with all required state and county permits. It also was required to submit a copy of all stack emission tests to the Tooele County Health Department.

The state issued air qual-ity and solid waste permits to Stericycle for the Tooele site in 2017.

Stericycle’s North Salt Lake incinerator was built in 1989 and had become encroached by residential development and had maxed out its capacity.

The new incinerator would have been built with new technology to comply with the 2009 federal Clean Air Act, allowing the incinerator to double its capacity for waste processing while meeting clean air standards, according to company officials.

Tooele County Commissioner Shawn Milne said while he is indifferent to Stericycle’s decision, the relo-cation to Tooele County would have meant cleaner air for the state as compared to the opera-tion in North Salt Lake because of the new technology.

“I regret that we won’t have the investment in capital on

property that otherwise is not hospitable to development,” he said. “But it also means less argument against Tooele County by environmentalists.”

Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall said he was “reserved” about Stericycle’s decision to build north of his city.

“I wanted to know more about their pollution control systems,” he said. “We have many citizens employed at the salt facilities. I was worried about prevailing winds carry-ing pollutants over the solar salt ponds and possibly con-taminating the salt.”

With Stericycle’s decision last week, Marshall said he doesn’t have to worry about 30 jobs jeopardizing an industry that employs 400.

Although Stericycle had not

built its incinerator in Tooele County, it was a corporate sponsor of some local events, such as the Bit n’ Spur [email protected]

Stansbury coaches gave their players the green light to shoot 3-pointers in a home state playoff game against Logan on Saturday.

The players pleased their coaches and fans by firing up 16 3-pointers and connect-ing on eight of them en route to a 49-41 victory over the Grizzlies.

With the win, the Stallions advance to the state quarterfi-nals on Thursday against Cedar at Southern Utah University at 9:10 p.m.

“They were hungry,”

Stansbury coach Kenzie Newton said. “All week we were telling them that we can shoot the 3. We told them we have to shoot the 3 with confi-dence. If we miss we go for the rebound. That’s who we are. They shot well tonight.”

Stansbury shot better from beyond the arc than it did from within the arc. The team scored 14 points from 2-point baskets and 24 points from 3-point buckets.

The Stallions hit six of those 3-pointers in the first half.

Mia Thurber launched a super deep 3-point shot just before the buzzer sounded to end the first half. The ball kissed off the glass and through the net to give the Stallions a 27-18 point lead at intermission. It was her third 3-pointer of the first half.

Kayla Alvey hit two 3-point-ers for the game while Kalee Philips, Hannah Anderson and Madison Welch each hit one.

The Grizzlies did not hiber-nate after intermission and held the Stallions scoreless for more than four minutes to start

Tooele senior Josh Wilkins prepares to take a shot during a home game earlier this month against Stansbury. Wilkins had 21 points in the Buffaloes’ 68-55 loss to Bear River in the first round of the Class 4A state tournament Friday in Garland.


Tooele trailed by only seven points after three quarters in Friday’s state playoff game in Garland, but Bear River pushed its lead to 14 points late in the game and prevailed 68-55.

“We’re down by seven head-ing into the fourth and I told them, ‘this is doable,’ but we missed a bunch of free throws and front ends of one-and-ones and they made all their free throws down the stretch,” said Tooele coach Jed Thomas.

Tooele also missed the services of post player Justin Rogers for most of the fourth quarter when he fouled out with 5:32 left in the game. Rogers was whistled for three

fouls in a two-minute span in the fourth quarter.

“He had two fouls early in the third quarter and I told him, ‘I’m going to need you on the court every minute out there.’ He did a great job not getting in foul trouble until he picked up a couple of cheap ones,” Thomas said.

Senior guard Josh Wilkins found his range from the out-side early in the game and sank two 3-pointers within the first two minutes. He ended the game with five 3-pointers and 21 points.

“This is a tough place to play, but we competed. The

players can use this game as a building block for next year. This program has a bright future,” Wilkins said.

The game was tight in the first half with neither team able to gain a major advantage.

Bear River grabbed a five-point lead with one minute until halftime, but Wilkins sank his third 3-pointer of the first half at the buzzer to make it 28-26 Bears at intermission.

Wilkins hit two more 3-pointers to start the third quarter and Tooele led 32-30.

Bear River battled back and increased its lead to seven when Mark Huber drilled a 3-pointer with 1:38 remaining

All season, Stansbury boys basketball coach Joe White mar-veled at his team’s competitive-ness and never-say-die attitude, noting that a brutal preseason schedule had only made the Stallions stronger.

That competitiveness and fearlessness paid off into the final minute of Friday’s Class 4A first-round state tourna-ment game in North Logan against Region 12 champion Green Canyon, where Stansbury found itself clinging to a 66-64 lead. However, the Wolves managed to rally, scoring the final five points of the game to escape with a 69-66 victory and advance to Thursday’s state quarterfinals.

It was a difficult ending to the season for Stansbury (9-14), which scraped and clawed its way to the postseason with a strong run in Region 11 play. The Stallions endured a seven-game losing streak in November and December, but pulled off crucial wins over Tooele, Ogden, Ben Lomond and Park City to earn a No. 4 seed.

Stansbury trailed the Wolves (18-5) 33-28 at halftime before a 22-13 third-quarter surge gave the Stallions a 50-46 advantage heading into the final quarter. SHS shot 22-for-40 (55 percent) from the field, 7-for-15 (46.7 percent) from 3-point range and 15-for-19 (78.9 percent) from the free-throw line in one of its

It wasn’t until the final game of the 2018-19 sea-son that a Class 3A squad finally found a way to beat the Grantsville girls basketball team.

It wasn’t an ordinary Class 3A team that did it, either. Rather, it was an undefeated Emery squad that finally got the best of the Cowboys, completing a 25-0 season with a 59-31 win at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield on Saturday night behind Utah Valley University recruit Megan Jensen and USU Eastern-bound twins Kacelyn and Kinlee Toomer.

The Spartans, whose aver-age margin of victory this season was 33.6 points, were the only 3A team to beat Grantsville (21-4) this year. The Cowboys’ other losses were against Class 5A champi-on East, Class 4A’s undefeated Cedar and Class 4A cross-county rival Stansbury.

“They should really be proud of where they came from and where they brought the program to,” Grantsville coach Megan Vera said of her team, particularly the seniors. “They’ve literally done better every single year, and two years in a row, they’ve taken the program further than it’s ever been in history.

“They’re just fighters. They might not always be the most skilled kids on the floor, but their mentality and their will

to compete is something I’m really proud of. They’ve been fun to coach because of that desire and that fight that they have. I’m grateful that I’ve

had the opportunity to coach them.”

Grantsville kept things close in the first few minutes, trailing 12-8 with 3:34 left in

the first quarter after a pair of free throws by senior Madison Fields. However, the Spartans,

strongest offensive performanc-es of the season.

Peyton Thevenot led Stansbury with 23 points, hit-ting all 10 of his free-throw attempts and going 3-for-5 from beyond the 3-point line. Senior Jake Spaulding added 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists, and junior Jaden Jenkins had 11 points, four assists and three steals. Pae Tia had nine points and Kaden Taylor added four.

Austin Woodhouse, Tanner Mears, Jet Richins, Cameron Jones, Zach Stoker, Spaulding and Kale Vorwaller will all grad-uate from this year’s Stansbury roster. Key returning under-classmen will include Jenkins, Thevenot and Tia, along with Payton Gaillard, Taylor and Dave [email protected]

in the third. Huber scored a game-high 24 points.

The Bears’ Parker Coombs hit a 3-pointer to push the lead to 10, but a few minutes later Tooele’s Canyon Christensen knocked down a 3-point shot and the Buffs were still within striking distance, trailing 51-42 with 6:54 remaining in the contest.

The Bears hit 5-of-6 free throws to ice the game in the final two minutes

Christensen and Rogers each scored 10 points. Nathan Swan scored seven, Clay Freeman five and Gavin Ware two.

Wilkins and Swan were the only two seniors on the team this year.

“We gave ourselves a chance but just couldn’t finish,” Swan said. “We had a good season and grew a lot. I’ll miss all the guys.”

Tooele finished 14-12 over-all and 8-4 in region.

“We played hard tonight and battled. We didn’t give them too many open looks,” the coach said. “They’re a good team. They can shoot the ball.”

The coach praised the effort of his two seniors.

“They gave everything to the team. A coach couldn’t ask for two better seniors. At first they were used to playing a little more selfish basketball, but as

the season went on they were phenomenal. Man, they will be sorely missed,” Thomas said.

“It was a good season this year with 14 wins. We’re look-ing toward the future. We have Canyon coming back. Braden Hogan was injured tonight; that is why he didn’t play. We missed his defense. Gavin Ware stepped up and played a heck of a game. Brandon Vorwaller came in and had some solid minutes too. We’ve got some good players coming back next year and I’m excited,” the coach [email protected]

led by Jensen, allowed just six points the rest of the first half while scoring 14 themselves. The Cowboys also found them-selves shorthanded after senior Addison Smith went down with a knee injury midway through the first quarter and, outside of a late appearance in the fourth quarter, was unable to return.

“We know Emery’s a great team,” said Grantsville senior Hannah Butler. “They have great players, and we knew we had to come in and play our best and shut some of their players down. They’re great players, so they did them and it didn’t work out in our favor. All we can do is play hard.”

Emery opened the second half on a 12-3 run, with the Cowboys’ lone points com-ing on a 3-pointer by Fields on their first possession of the third quarter that briefly closed the gap to 10 points. The Spartans stretched their lead to 24 points by the end of

the period, and they eventu-ally led by as many as 31 in the fourth quarter before both teams emptied their benches.

“They’re a great team — all respect to Emery,” Fields said. “They were great competition.”

Fields led Grantsville with nine points and added six rebounds. Butler had seven points, four rebounds and four assists, while Ashlee Edwards had six points, eight rebounds and six assists. Maison White had six points and five rebounds, Kylee Thomas had two points and Laura Sandberg had one point.

Jensen had 26 points and eight rebounds for Emery. Kinlee Toomer had 14 points, 10 rebounds, five steals and four assists, and Kacelyn Toomer had 10 points, five rebounds and seven assists.

“Offensively, we wanted to slow things down a bit,” Vera said. “Defensively, our focus was the Toomer twins and Jensen, and we didn’t execute very well defensively. They were a really good team and they played really well.”

After the game, while Emery celebrated with its first-place

trophy and cut down the nets, Grantsville posed for pictures with its second-place trophy, representing the program’s best-ever state finish.

“We didn’t come away with the win, but we’ve made histo-ry at our high school two years in a row,” Smith said. “That’s going to be pretty amazing to remember.”

Edwards’ driving layup with 34.4 seconds left gave Grantsville the lead on Friday

afternoon, and the Cowboys’ defense held strong to send GHS to the championship game.

Grantsville trailed 23-22 at halftime, but surged into the lead with a 12-2 third-quarter run. Richfield responded with a 14-6 run in the fourth quarter, taking the lead in the final minutes, but the Wildcats couldn’t hold on.

Fields had nine. Thomas had three points and Sandberg and White each scored two.

the third quarter. Stansbury finally broke

the drought when Alvey hit a layup on a fast break to make it 29-24 midway through the third quarter.

The visitors turned up the heat and sliced the lead to 31-30 with 1:36 left in the third quarter.

Philips then hit a corner 3 and Kenzi Knudsen followed with an old-fashioned 3-point play with a left-handed layup and foul shot to make it 37-30 for the Stallions.

Alvey hit her second 3-point-

er three minutes into the fourth quarter and Stansbury gained some breathing room again, going up 40-32.

The Stallions hit eight free throws during the final five minutes of the game to main-tain the lead and close out the victory. Stansbury hit 11 of 20 free throws for the game.

Knudsen scored 12 points, including six made free throws, and added five assists. Alvey scored 12 with six rebounds and four assists. Thurber scored 10, Welch eight, Anderson three and Mackenna Sargent one.

Defensively, the Stallions limited Logan’s leading scorer Amber Kartchner to 12 points.

“Our plan was not to let Kartchner get her points and let their other players try to beat us,” Newton said. “She averages 21 a game.”

The Stallions had some extra motivation heading into the game, with Philips, Thurber, Sargent and Knudsen playing their final home game and Newton set to take over as the head coach at Mountain Ridge High School in Herriman when that school opens in the fall.

“I told the girls this is the last go-round for our seniors and for me at Stansbury,” Newton said. “It’s been one heck of a ride and it’s not over yet.”[email protected]

Tooele’s 2018-19 girls basketball season ended as it began, with a tough matchup against a Green Canyon squad pegged as one of several Class 4A state championship con-tenders.

Green Canyon beat the Buffaloes 59-25 on Saturday in North Logan in the open-ing round of the Class 4A state tournament, marking the second time the Wolves got the upper hand on Tooele this season. In the first game of the year for both teams, the Wolves beat the Buffs 53-39 at Tooele.

Tooele (12-10), the third-place team from Region 11, trailed by just four points midway through the second quarter but allowed the Region 12 runner-up Wolves (19-3) to pull away with a 25-6 run that put the game out of reach. Green Canyon led 26-14 at halftime and 38-20 after three quarters.

Tooele sophomore Aysha Lewis led the Buffs with 11 points, including three 3-point-ers. Freshman Alivia Cluff added seven points. Seniors Makayla Komer, Mallory Searle

and Nizhone Tso each scored two points and Madi Baker had one.

Kennedy Eskelson led all scorers with 15 points for the Wolves. Shante’ Falslev and Taylor Hinds each had 11 points for Green Canyon, with

Hinds knocking down three 3-pointers and pulling down four rebounds.

The Buffs had their third winning season in the past five years and their second in a row, making their third consecutive state tournament

appearance. Saturday’s game was the last for seniors Komer, Tso, Searle, Whitney Murray and Mandy Steadman, though Tooele will have a strong group of underclassmen returning next [email protected]

PHOTOS FRANCIE AUFDEMORTE

The 2018-2019 wrestling season ended with highlights for Tooele, Stansbury and Grantsville High School.

Thirty-five of the county’s top prep wrestlers took part in the two-day state championship at the UCCU Center in Orem, with seven Tooele County wrestlers coming home with medals after placing in the top six of their respective weight classes.

Tooele’s Joseph Mecham bested Payson’s Cole Jensen to take the Class 4A 113-pound champi-onship. Grantsville’s Koby Johnson finished his high-school career by taking second place in the Class 3A 170-pound weight class, and Johnson’s teammate, Logan Kuehn, ended with a win by a pin to clinch third place in the 3A 220-pound bracket. Stansbury was a powerhouse during the regular season, taking the Region 11 champion-ship.

The THS and GHS wrestling teams were both recognized for their achievements off the mat. The teams were honored by the Utah Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association before the final matches at the state championships in Orem. The THS wrestling team had the highest GPA among 4A teams and the GHS wrestling team had the highest GPA among 3A teams. Johnson also received Academic All-State recognition.

Tooele junior Joseph Mecham won the Class 4A 113-pound title by beating Payson’s Cole Jensen in a 9-6 decision in the championship match Feb. 16 at the UCCU Center in Orem.

TUESDAY February 26, 2019B2 TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have a large property of several acres, and I let our dog “Boomer,” a big Labrador mix, run out there every day for at least an hour. Yesterday he came in panting very rapidly and drooling a bit, and looked agitated. He kept that up for over an hour before settling down. Boomer seems fine today, but what could have caused that rapid breath-ing? — Dan J., Bloomington,

Indiana

DEAR DAN: Even though he’s returned to normal, take Boomer to the veterinarian to be checked out, just to make sure there are no underlying issues.

It’s normal for dogs to pant heavily after lots of exertion or on a hot day, but prolonged, heavy panting should catch your attention, especially if it’s accompanied by other behav-iors. The causes can be many: On hot days, heat exhaustion or heat stroke are a big con-cern. A neurological or heart problem could be the silent culprit. Or, Boomer could have gotten into something that’s poisonous to him.

Write down all of the symp-toms you noticed during his panting episode, and include

the temperature that day, what you fed him, how much he ate and how much water he drank during the day. Take those notes to the vet with Boomer.

If no underlying chronic cause is found, the vet prob-ably will recommend that you keep a watchful eye on Boomer for a few days and make sure he gets plenty of water to drink. I also recom-mend that you go with him on his next couple of romps to see where he typically roams, looking for plants, chemicals left unattended or anything that he could accidentally ingest.

Trivia Test Answers

Q: I’m a follower of “Doc Martin” and miss not seeing any new episodes on PBS. Can you please advise me if this will be renewed? It was a very well-performed series, and the characters were interesting and well-portrayed. PBS is the only station that represents good television with the finest actors. — E.R.

A: I have some good news for you: Season eight episodes of this critically acclaimed British TV series are now airing on public television stations. Why the delay? Apparently, the Acorn TV network had acquired exclusive rights to air “Doc Martin,” which meant that PBS couldn’t any longer.

However, the two entities have reached an agreement. New episodes will air first on Acorn, a subscription service that streams primarily British con-tent, and later will be available on PBS stations.

While the upcoming ninth — and final — season of “Doc Martin” won’t be filmed until this summer, it will air on Acorn later in 2019 and then subsequently on PBS. For more information on how to view all the shows and miniseries avail-able on Acorn, visit its website at https://Acorn.tv.

• • •Q: Has Meghan Markle

announced yet whether she and Prince Harry are having a boy or a girl? Also, when is she due? — G.P.

A: The former actress (“Suits”) turned Duchess of Sussex recently had a baby shower with friends in California, but she has not revealed her baby’s gender. Back in England, she told one little girl who asked that it was

a surprise and that even she and Harry don’t know. Their baby is due in late April.

• • •Q: Has Jussie Smollett been

fired from his role on “Empire” now that his claims about being attacked in a hate crime are being questioned? Will they recast his character or kill him off? — T.M.

A: While daytime soaps recast charac-ters all the time, it’s seldom done in prime time. Smollett, who faces a grand jury soon, is going to have a limited number of scenes on the hit FOX show’s final two epi-sodes of the season, but as of this writing he hasn’t been fired.

TMZ reported that five of Smollett’s nine scenes have been cut from the episode that is currently filming,

but as for next season, we’ll just have to wait and see what fate awaits his character.

• • •Q: Whatever happened to

actor Trevor St. John from “One Life to Live”? I thought he was so handsome and such a good actor that he’d be in movies by now. — B.G.

A: St. John has worked steadily since he played Todd, and later Victor, on the ABC soap. He has appeared in some movies, including “The Bourne Ultimatum,” but mostly guest-starred on vari-ous prime-time shows. He’s now a regular on the CW series “Roswell, New Mexico.” The sci-ence fiction drama also stars two other daytime soap graduates: Nathan Parsons (ex-Ethan, “General Hospital”) and Tyler Blackburn (ex-Ian, “Days of Our Lives”).

Marks on antiques, especially silver or ceramics, can lead

a collector to history and age. However, the mark’s information can sometimes be confusing. A date may be the year the pottery business started. A name may be the name of the seller, not the maker. And sometimes, espe-cially with Asian ceramics, recent copies are so accurate even the old mark is repro-duced.

Wemyss Ware is the name used as a mark by Robert Heron & Son (later called Fife Pottery), which started mak-ing creamware in Scotland about 1820. They later used the Weymss mark. During the mid-1800s, European artists were hired. The most famous was Karel Nekola, who stayed for 33 years. In the 1930s, Bovey Pottery of Devon, England, bought the rights to make Wemyss Ware and hired Joseph Nekola Karelson. The pottery by Fife and Bovey is so similar, experts judge the maker by slight color differences. Joseph died in 1952, and very little Wemyss was made in the 1960s and 1970s. But in 1985, Griselda Hill pottery started making it, and they now own the Wemyss Ware trademark.

A ceramic pig that looks like Wemyss sold at a recent Humler and Nolan auc-tion for $472. It is marked

“Plichta, London, England” and “Nekola Pinxt Plichta.” Jan Plichta was a pottery and glass wholesaler who worked in London and, by 1916, bought many things from Bovey Pottery. The Latin mark means “Nekola painted design [for] Plichta,” evidence the pig was made before 1952. Very early flower-decorated pigs have auctioned for over $30,000.

• • •Q: I recently found two

old dining-room chairs in my attic that I remember using as a child 70 years ago. They have an arched back, six turned spindles and a shaped seat. I remember them hav-ing a shiny black finish, but they are very worn. I’m think-ing of repainting them, but my son suggests that doing so might reduce their value. Can you tell me what their value is and whether repainting would make them more or less valuable?

A: Repainting or refinish-ing will lower the value of a piece of furniture if it is a valuable antique, made by a well-known craftsman or finished with a hand-painted technique like grain painting. Your chairs are not very old; they’re probably from the early 1900s. They are worth about $50. So, in your case, repainting them might bring them back to life and raise their decorative value. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Do hirers have responsibility to let applicants know when they didn’t get the job?Two readers have written

me recently to comment on their experiences with

a job hunt.In one instance, the reader

has been searching for a full-time position for several months. In the other, the reader has been looking for additional part-time work to supplement what she’s already doing. In each instance, the reader asked about the responsibility of the hirer to follow through with communication.

The part-time position hunter has responded to posts on social media boards seeking professionals with her creden-tials to come work for the firm. She has responded by email to the posts expressing an inter-est and asking for more details, waited weeks, and heard noth-ing positive or negative.

On at least two occasions, the full-time job seeker has found himself fortunate enough to be asked in for an interview as one of the finalists for a

position, was told he would be informed of the search com-mittee’s decision or progress within the two weeks following his interview, and more than a month later has heard nothing from either search committee.

“These aren’t the first instances,” writes the full-time job hunter. “In the past I’ve made it as a finalist for a posi-tion and never heard anything one way or another.” He’s only found out that a hire was made by Googling the institution and seeing the new hire for the position he’d applied for on the organization’s website.

Each reader asks if it’s ethi-cal for a company not to keep job applicants informed of their status one way or another, particularly if the company rep-

resentative said it would follow up with information.

It may not be uncommon, but it is bad form for an orga-nization not to let an applicant know when he or she didn’t get the job. It’s particularly bad form to bring an applicant in for an in-person interview as a finalist for the position, and then never follow up one way or another.

Sure, there are times organi-zations take their time letting people know out of concern that their top choice for a posi-tion might not accept an offer. They want to keep their options open in case they have to go further down their ranked list of candidates. That’s fair and fine.

At some point, however, simple courtesy dictates letting someone know when he or she didn’t get the job. Simply shift-ing to silence and hoping the applicant gets the hint shows no grace and exhibits no sense of professionalism.

But when an organization’s representative specifically tells an applicant that he or she will be contacted about the outcome of the search, then the right thing is to keep that promise. If there was never any intention to let the runners up for a position know, then mak-ing a false promise crosses ethi-cal lines.

Each of the readers wants to know if it seems too “pushy” to contact the potential hirer to ask the status of a position,

even though each suspects the answer is that he or she was not the chosen one. No, it’s not too pushy. It’s simply unfortunate that organization representa-tives too easily forget how a simple gesture, no matter if it’s relying on disappointing news, would go a long way toward exhibiting thoughtful profes-sionalism.

THE RIGHT THING

MONDAY’S WARM COCOA

The amount of time we spend suffering is always up to usThe little 14-year-old

dog jumped straight up onto the bar stool next

to me.“I can’t believe he can still

jump like that!” I exclaimed.The small, curly, bronze-

colored cutie still has spunk! I looked into his aging eyes as we sat next to each other. Clouds were starting to gather over the lenses of his eyes. But, other than that, I was hard-pressed to notice any other effects of his vener-able age.

“He showed up at our door step when he was about three years old,” Jamie said.

“He was covered in what looked like tar. His whole body was saturated in it,” Burk added.

“His hair was all matted and his neck was growing around his collar,” Jamie said.

Burke and Jamie Castleton are wonderful people. I sat looking at their little friend. He was happy, well cared for and healthy. Yet, it had

taken him time to get there and this one thought had barely entered my mind when another thought tagged it.

“Give yourself the space and opportunity to grow into who you’re becoming!” I could hear Chris Leader, my coach, say to me once again.

This loving, beautiful dog was a living example of what Chris was attempting to convey to me. And, the les-son was taken from my mind directly into my heart, in the form of the small, delightful little creature, sitting next to me at this moment. Chris’ message was now real. It

had taken form and pres-ence. Here’s what a little dog taught me about the “Principal of Becoming.”

First, life can be harsh on all of us. Others can treat us poorly and we all live with the consequences of our own learning decisions. I say learning decisions because it can be argued that our purpose in living is simple: to learn what we need to learn, so we can become better than we are now, at every stage. Accepting and understanding this one principal, solely, will change one’s vision of living completely. It will also trans-

form the experience of living for everyone who embraces it.

Second, when it appears as if everyone in the world is evil and doing malicious things to us, that “we don’t deserve,” it simply isn’t the truth. Yes, there are people in our world that do say and do bad things to those around them. And, there are wonderful people, like Burke and Jamie Castleton, who are standing by to rescue, heal and love us. There are indeed angels living amongst us!

Third, the amount of time we spend suffering is up to us. Once we choose to leave the

bad behind and become open to receive love from others, guardian angels will come to our aid. We simply have to be open to receive them along with their good works.

Finally, all we need to do in return is to love our rescuing angels without reservation.

Like the little 14-year-old dog seated next to me. Clouds, indeed, were starting to gather over the lenses of his eyes. But I also saw some-thing else in them — love.

RICK STEVES’ EUROPE

What’s new in Germany and the Low Countries for 2019Germany is famously

a work in progress — as are the nearby

Low Countries — and that includes their sightseeing attractions. In 2019, there’s good news and a few impor-tant warnings for the smart traveler.

To handle its ever-increas-ing number of visitors, Germany is busy renovating sights and transportation, beefing up security and updating ticketing proce-dures for big attractions. For instance, in Berlin, advance tickets are now recommended for the DDR Museum, with displays about life in the former East Germany. The Museum Pass Berlin, which covers a number of top sights and lets travelers avoid long lines, now includes my favor-ite museum in town: the German History Museum. Visitors to the Reichstag, where the German parliament convenes, must show their passports for entry (in addi-tion to reserving in advance).

While Berlin’s famous Pergamon Altar (usually on display in the Pergamon Museum) is being restored, you can still see bits of it at a nearby temporary exhibit called “Pergamonmuseum — Das Panorama.” The exhibit features a huge, wrap-around painting of the city of Pergamon in AD 129, some original sculptures from the altar, the largest piece of the altar frieze, and digital 3-D models.

The Berlin Wall Memorial’s documentation center was updated a few years ago with fresh exhibits, including audio accounts from escapees and guards, and a fascinating in-city hike that takes you along a former stretch of the wall. In Berlin, the Charlottenburg Palace reopened its “Old Palace” (Altes Schloss) Porcelain Cabinet, a melding of trompe l’oeil painting and stucco work displaying over 2,700 pieces.

In Munich, the Alte Pinakothek, a world-class col-lection of European master-pieces from the 14th to 19th century, has fully reopened after a long renovation. Now the Neue Pinakothek (paint-ings from 1800 to 1920) is closed for renovation for the next several years, but its highlights will be displayed at the neighboring Alte Pinakothek. Major transporta-tion changes — including a new $4 billion euro S-Bahn tunnel and the renovation of Munich’s main train station — will cause years of transit disruptions.

Visitors to “Mad” King Ludwig’s Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles in the Bavarian Alps must now pick up reserved tickets at least 90 minutes before their tour time. Though it’s best to book ahead, a percentage of castle tickets are set aside for in-person purchase, so if reservations sell out online, visitors can generally still get a ticket if they arrive early in the day.

Expect even more crowds in the Bavarian Alps in 2020, as the town of Oberammergau hosts the once-every-10-years Passion Play. Plan ahead — tickets are easiest to obtain in a one- or two-night pack-age deal that includes hotel, ticket, dinner and a shuttle (www.passionsspiele-oberam-mergau.de).

In Frankfurt, rebuilding of the DomRomer Quarter, just off Romerberg square, is com-plete. This “new” develop-ment is actually a reconstruc-tion of the half-timbered Old Town destroyed during World War II.

In the Rhine River town of St. Goar, restoration at the mighty Rheinfels Castle

means that parts of the grounds — including the tun-nels — can only be seen with a guided tour (bring a flash-light for the dark tunnels). In Trier, the Karl Marx House now includes displays with a vibrant and thoughtful mix of historical artifacts, interactive exhibits and contemporary art, which explain how the world impacted Marx and how he impacted the world.

There’s also good news in 2019 about key cultural attractions in nearby Belgium and the Netherlands.

In Amsterdam, renovations are complete at the Anne Frank House. Tickets go on sale two months in advance, and are released gradually over the two-month period (if you miss out, keep checking back). If you can’t get into the Anne Frank (or don’t want the bother of reserving), the Dutch Resistance Museum — just across town — is, for many, even more interesting (and never crowded). The Van Gogh Museum also has a new ticketing system: All visitors, even those using a sightseeing pass, must book a timed-entry slot online.

Just 30 minutes from Amsterdam, Haarlem is the hometown of Frans Hals, the Dutch portrait painter dur-ing the 17th-century Golden Age. While the main branch of the Frans Hals Museum still displays many of Hals’ great-est paintings and works by other Dutch masters, a second venue is now open, covering modern art influenced by the Dutch master’s themes and techniques.

In Belgium, the costumes that have decorated the famous Manneken-Pis statue in Brussels are displayed at the GardeRobe Manneken-Pis, just down the block from the statue. This museum, opened in 2017, houses three centuries of costumes worn by the statue, including a Civil War Union soldier, a Japanese samurai and an Indian maha-

rajah.Germany, the Netherlands

and Belgium are famous for being well organized. With more visitors than ever, each country is making sure those who know their options —

and how to navigate the crowds — can enjoy the best experience.

TOOELE We’re Your Hometown!


Come along on a fascinating journey back to Turn of the Century New England; to Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod, Old York, the Great Shell Mounds of Damariscot-ta, Newport, Old Saybrook, Cuttyhunk and dozens of other areas.

Reproduced with illustrations from the actual turn-of-the-century New England magazines in which they first appeared, these articles by the well-known au-thors of that era bring the magic of the New England Coast to life as no modern-day author can achieve.

Sail on into “living” history with Tales of the New England Coast.

Leonard Schiller is a novelist in his seventies, a second-string but respectable talent who produced only a small handful of books. Heather Wolfe is an attractive graduate student in her twenties. She read Schiller’s novels when she was growing up and they changed her life. When the ambitious Heather decides to write her master’s thesis about Schiller’s work and sets out to meet him—convinced she can bring Schiller back into the literary world’s spot-light—the unexpected consequences of their meeting alter everything in Schiller’s ordered life. What fol-lows is a quasi-romantic friendship and intellectual engagement that investigates the meaning of art, fame, and personal connection.

Visions of AmericaPhotographing Democracy

A Country Called Home Hope in a Jar

Starting Out in the EveningThe Story of a Marriage

Modern Women is a celebration of some of the influential and inspiring women who have changed the world through their lives, work and actions. From suffragettes to scientists, activists to artists, politicians to pilots and writers to riot grrrls, the women included have all paved the way for gender equality in their own indomita-ble way.

Find out about extraordinary women includ-ing writer and teacher Maya Angelou, computer scientist Ada Lovelace, abolitionist Harriet Tub-man, film star Katharine Hepburn and pioneer-ing musician Björk.

Visions of America addresses a single question: How do you photo-graph democracy? After all, democracy is an idea; and not something one can easily wrap one’s lens around. But photographing democracy is indeed what Joseph Sohm has done in this epic journey across the fifty states. To capture this country’s incredible diversity, Sohm frames his national work as George Seurat might a pointillist painting. With each photograph, an individual dot was applied to his American can-vas. Spanning three decades, tens of thousands of images come to-gether to create a compelling mosaic of American democracy.

Thomas Deracotte is just out of medical school, and he and his pregnant wife, Helen, have their whole future mapped out for them in upper-crust Connecticut. How-ever, they decide to follow their dream to create their own farm in rural Idaho instead. The fields are in ruins when they arrive, so they hire a farmhand named Man-ny to help rebuild. But the sudden, frightening birth of their daughter, Elise, tests the young couple, and Manny is called upon to mend this fractured family. An extraordinary story of hope and idealism, A

Country Called Home is a testament to the power of family—the family we are born to and the family we create.

Twenty years ago, Allie Denty was the pretty one and her best friend Olivia Pelham was the smart one. Throughout high school, they were inseparable…until a vicious rumor about Olivia— a rumor too close to the truth—ended their friendship.

Now, on the eve of their twentieth high school reunion, Allie, a temp worker, finds herself suddenly single, a little chubby, and feeling old. Olivia, a cool and successful magazine beauty editor in New York, realizes she’s lonely, and is finally ready to face her demons.

Sometimes hope lives in the future; sometimes it comes from the past; and sometimes, when every stu-pid thing goes wrong, it comes from a prettily pack-aged jar filled with scented cream and promises.

“We think we know the ones we love.” So Pearlie Cook begins her indirect, and devastating exploration of the mystery at the heart of every relationship--how we can ever truly know another person.

It is 1953 and Pearlie, a dutiful young housewife, finds herself living in the Sunset District in San Francisco, caring not only for her husband’s fragile health, but also for her son, who is afflicted with polio. Then, one Saturday morning, a stranger appears on her doorstep, and every-thing changes. Lyrical, and surprising, The Story of a Mar-riage is, in the words of Khaled Housseini, “a book about love, and it is a marvel to watch Greer probe the mysteries of love to such devastating effect.”

Walking the World’s Natural WondersUnlike vehicular transportation, walking allows us to experience natural wonders on a vivid sensuous level, enjoying all the sights, sounds, and smells of a beautiful landscape. In Walking the World’s Natural Wonders, traveler Jon Sparks takes readers on a guided tour across 34 mar-velous landscapes, profiling the world’s most magnificent walking routes from the mountains of Hawaii to England’s Jurassic Coast. Accompa-nied by stunning photography from around the globe, Sparks’ vibrant text will appeal to anyone with a sense of adventure.

BARRY BROWNSTEIN

Imagine that you’re about to give a presentation in front of your entire organization.

If you have ever been anxious in a situation where the stakes are high, you’ve probably received well-meaning advice: Calm down. Take deep breaths. Think positively, and you will nail this.

What happens if you can’t calm down? You might be frightened by your negative thinking: If I don’t get a grip, I will blow my chance. Your mind might race as you attempt to shake off uncomfortable, nega-tive thoughts.

Consider this observation by Ben Hardy:

In 2005, the National Science Foundation pub-lished an article showing that the average person has between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative, and 95% are exactly the same repeti-tive thoughts as the day before.

If you set out to get rid of your negative thinking, you are destined for failure.

Even ordinary facts can trig-ger a stream of negative think-ing. You observe the outside temperature is 10 degrees, and you are overtaken by a stream

of thoughts about how you hate the cold. Joining the line at the supermarket checkout, you experience a flood of nega-tive thoughts about the store and other customers. Another opportunity to mentally rant may be moments away.

Notice how many judg-mental thoughts are directed towards others and towards yourself. How many negative thoughts are recycled from yes-terday? Watching your think-ing, you might conclude you are not a nice person. If your thoughts are not so nice, you are not alone.

Conducting a workshop, I asked participants to raise their hand if during the past week they had experienced troubling thoughts—anxious thoughts, fearful thoughts, judgmental thoughts, etc. Hands went up, while others looked around the room. When I asked who would be willing to have an LCD screen on their forehead making public their stream of thoughts, everyone laughed.

The fact is, no one has their act together. As Cary Grant once noted wistfully: “Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.”

What Doesn’t WorkTo feel better, we try to fol-

low popular advice to drop our negative thinking. Yet, thoughts are not easily controlled, and

we may end up increasing our anxiety in the process.

Management professor Raj Raghunathan in his book, If You’re So Smart, Why Aren’t You Happy? observes, “Contrary to what many of us believe, [suppressing feelings] doesn’t mitigate feelings.” Why? Raghunathan continues,

This is because the parts of the brain that are acti-vated when we feel negative continue to remain activated even if we suppress the feel-ings. Further, suppressing emotions takes brain capac-ity, and this means less left-over capacity to focus on the task at hand.

Do we need to adjust our emotions before we change our life? I’ll take action when I feel better is the mantra of the adjust-feelings-first mindset. Psychologist David K. Reynolds in his book Constructive Living for Mental Health puts it this way:

You have been taught you must make a commit-ment, pull yourself together, empower yourself, or make a decision before you change what you do. That is not so. You may know people who are caught in the trap of try-ing to make themselves feel like going to work or trying

to make themselves feel a deeper commitment to their work or trying to feel more determined.

Life will never give us, as Reynolds puts it, “the feelings [we] want when [we] want them for as long as [we] want them.”

The mind can’t pay attention to two things at once. When we try to get rid of our negative thinking, we can find ourselves mentally paralyzed. Reynolds puts it this way:

The more one focuses attention on the suffer-ing—noticing how unpleas-ant it is, trying to get rid of it, wishing it didn’t exist, comparing the self with others who don’t appear to suffer in this way, worrying about when the suffering will appear next, emphasiz-ing other difficulties related to it, complaining that it is greater than one deserves and than can be endured, and so on—the more one’s attention is diverted from everyday tasks, responsibili-ties, and joys.

Change begins with accep-tance, not resistance.

What Does WorkReleasing our thoughts

and feelings begins with

acceptance. Experiments run by Harvard Business School professor Alison Wood Brooks found that embracing anxiety leads to better results.

Brooks conducted an experi-ment with people about to deliver a speech. She instructed half of the speakers to try to calm themselves to relieve their anxiety. Brooks asked the other half to view their anxi-ety as excitement, embracing rather than resisting it. Judges evaluated the speeches. Those instructed to interpret their anxiety as excitement were scored as more “persuasive, confident, and competent.”

Notice, those who tried to calm themselves failed; those who didn’t fight with their feel-ings succeeded.

Attempting to calm your thinking with more thinking is like trying to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. If you don’t resist your feelings, fresh thoughts and feelings will naturally replace problematical ones.

Rely on Purpose“There is no such thing,”

Michael Neill writes, “as a solution to a feeling.” Neill continues in his book The Space Within, “Because we don’t rec-ognize this fact, we spend huge chunks of our time and energy trying to ‘solve’ our feelings by changing them to ‘better’ ones or eliminating them alto-gether.”

Resisting our latest fleeting feelings, we resist the current

moment. By our resistance, the opportunity for change is foregone.

Reynolds advises us to distinguish between feelings and behavior. For example, he writes,

Fears don’t need to be overcome. I fly afraid all the time. You have been taught that fears prevent you from doing something, that they paralyze you. That is a myth. Fears should be noticed, checked for information, and accepted. Then get on with the next thing you need to do.

In his book The War of Art, Steven Pressfield shares that famed actor Henry Fonda “was still throwing up before each stage performance, even when he was seventy-five.” The les-son: “Fear doesn’t go away.” Negative thinking never goes away.

Yet, Henry Fonda had a clear purpose; and purpose motivated him to go beyond his comfort zone.

For relief from negative thinking, follow Henry Fonda’s example: Identify with your highest purpose, not your fleet-ing thoughts.
