AirMed opens its newest base in Tooele, which will be staffed with three team members and one helicopter.

by Emma Penrod

STAFF WRITER

An AirMed helicopter has offi-cially come to roost in Tooele City.

Officials from AirMed, the University of Utah’s air medi-cal transport program, and from Tooele City, met for a Tuesday morning ribbon cutting at the site of a new helipad located near Maceys at 145 E. 1000 North.

In addition to the helipad, Tooele now has its own dedicated AirMed helicopter, which will be stationed at the site and manned by a crew of AirMed personnel 24 hours a day.

“It’s a very special day for Tooele,” said Tooele City Mayor Patrick Dunlavy during the rib-bon cutting ceremony. “When we made the decision to cooperate and partner with the university

and AirMed, we had the well-being of our citizens in mind.”

The helipad is located on a city-owned plot designated as the future site for a new Tooele City fire station. When the city outgrows its current facility behind Tooele City Hall, the city will offer to lease some of the available space in the structure to AirMed.

Until then, a conditional use permit approved by the city plan-ning and zoning commission in mid-September, will allow AirMed to maintain a helipad and tempo-rary auxiliary structure on the site without paying a lease.

AirMed officials have stated that the large number of flights from University Medical Center to the Tooele area, as well as the long transit time required to reach the valley from Salt Lake even by air,

Tooele City’s combined expenses and lia-bilities exceeded the city’s government-wide income by more than $23.3 million during the 2012-2013 fiscal year, according to an inde-pendent audit of the city’s financial standing.

An 80-page report presented on Dec. 4 to the city council by Lewis Young Robertson & Burningham, a Salt Lake City-based municipal securities firm, illustrates the city’s current financial position.

When all income, expenses, assets and lia-bilities are taken into account, the city’s total value or “net position” is equivalent to more than $155.3 million. This denotes a gener-

What happened to a Tooele woman who disappeared in July and whose remains were found in October is still a mystery.

Jane Ashby, 62, disappeared on July 31, telling her family she was off to a work meeting in American Fork, which coworkers later denied occurred. On Oct. 12, a Boy Scout troop hiking in Middle Canyon near Butterfield Pass stumbled upon the remains of her body and a red 2011 Ford Escape.

The vehicle had evidently driven off the dirt road and crashed down a slope. The accident is believed to have happened within days of Ashby’s disappearance.

According to autopsy results by the state medical exam-iner’s office, the cause of Ashby’s death has been ruled undetermined, citing a lack of evidence to allow for a con-

For the third year in a row, Tooele County high school juniors scored lower than their statewide counterparts on a major national test of college preparedness.

Results of the American College Testing administered statewide to all high school juniors in March 2013, show that the average composite ACT score for county students was one point lower than the state average—but the gap between county students and the state average is closing.

The number of Tooele County students meeting the minimum benchmark for college readi-ness set by the ACT board also increased.

“This year’s ACT scores are not significantly different from last year’s,” said Debra Bushek, Tooele County School District assessment director. “With only three years of data, it is hard to see any trends.”

This is the third year the state has funded the ACT test for all students as a way of measuring college and career prepared-ness.

A Tooele woman has been arrested and charged for alleg-edly robbing another woman at gunpoint.

According to a probable cause statement, Rusti Stalliviere, 31, was arguing with another Tooele woman over money last Sunday when Stalliviere allegedly point-ed a gun at the woman and took her wallet.

The alleged robbery occurred while Stalliviere was in the pas-senger seat of a car and the victim was reportedly standing beside it.

Afterward, the woman ran while Stalliviere and the driver of the car drove away, according to the probable cause statement.

Police made a traffic stop on the vehicle, but Stalliviere was not in it, according to the state-ment. The driver allowed police to search the vehicle, but a fire-arm was not found. The driver did, however, call Stalliviere to

see if she was home and gave officers that information, accord-ing to the statement.

At Stalliviere’s home, officers found several boxes of ammuni-tion, a loaded magazine in a gun case, a black pellet gun and two fixed-blade knives, according to the statement. Because of a prior felony conviction, Stalliviere is a “restricted person” and not legally allowed to own firearms or ammunition.

Additionally, the victim identi-fied a photograph of Stalliviere as being the person who took her wallet, according to the state-ment.

Stalliviere was arrested on charges of possession of a weap-on by a restricted person and armed robbery.

She was charged Monday with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony, and theft, a class B misde-meanor. Stalliviere is scheduled to make her first appearance in 3rd District Court on [email protected]

A longtime Tooele educator has been recognized by his peers for his contributions to his school and community.

Bob Gowans, Tooele High School’s agriculture instructor and Future Farmers of America adviser, received the “Teacher of The Year in Community Service” award by Region V of the Association of Career and Technical Educators. He has been teaching agriculture for 31 years.

Gowans was also recognized by the national ACTE as one of five finalists for the National ACTE Teacher of the Year in Community Service Award at its annual award banquet held Dec. 4 in Las Vegas, Nev.

“Mr. Gowans’s selection for this award is a testament to the scope and impact of his contri-butions to career and technical education,” said Kate Dowdy, leadership coordinator for ACTE awards.

Region V of the ACTE includes 20,000 career and technical edu-cators from 16 states.

Gowans’ contributions to the community have included involv-ing his students to help landscape Deseret Peak Complex, contribut-ing labor and equipment to add over 250 trees to school grounds, and raising 700 poinsettias for senior citizens.

Currently Gowans serves as the president of the Tooele Education Association. His other

contributions to education have included serving as secretary and president of the Utah Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association, being a member of the Utah FFA advisory board, and serving as department head and coor-dinator for CTE at Tooele High School.

Outside of education his con-tributions to the community include serving for 12 years on the Tooele City Planning and Zoning Commission, two years on the Tooele County Tourism Board, and president of the Tooele Cattlemen’s Association.

He has also been a volun-teer with the Utah State Fair for 24 years and was a member of Governor Huntsman’s 2008 21st Century Task Force. He has also been active in the local and state turkey shows and the Tooele County Junior Livestock Show.

Gowans said he learned from his high school agriculture teacher, as well as his father, the importance of being involved and making a difference in your community, a lesson he tries to pass on to his students.

“It is at this point in my career that I can look back at what my students have accomplished and feel that I too have guided my students into directions that they will be able to make a difference in the lives of students and their communities,” he said. “Each year I remind all of my students to get involved and make a dif-ference.”[email protected]

Though website glitches con-tinue to prevent Mountain West Medical Center from assisting citizens with their Marketplace insurance applications, the hospital has ceased postponing consultations.

The hospital’s eligibility ser-vices has offered to make its insurance experts available to all area residents for free assis-tance with the new, govern-ment-run insurance website.

However, hospital counselors have been unable to help anyone through the entire Marketplace application because of contin-ued problems with the website, according to Becky Trigg, direc-tor of marketing for MWMC.

Since Dec. 10, the hospital has met with 46 Marketplace appli-cants, she said. Though none have been able to complete the

process, insurance consultants have identified five individu-als who appear to be qualified for Medicaid coverage, and one of those five has already been approved.

“Even though Utah has cho-sen not to expand Medicaid, there are still many individuals in our community who qualify for Medicaid coverage,” said Trigg in a press release. “We can help screen these indi-viduals and, if they qualify, we can enroll them at any time, with health coverage beginning immediately.”

In addition to screening applicants for Medicaid, Trigg said the hospital’s insurance consultants are willing and able to help residents with the online Marketplace—at least as much as the website’s functionality will allow. Otherwise, consul-tants will help residents file an application on paper or over

the phone.In order for insurance pur-

chased on the Marketplace to take effect by Jan. 1, 2014, appli-cants must enroll in a plan by Dec. 23. Under the Affordable Care Act, uninsured U.S. citi-zens must register for some form of insurance by March 31, 2014. Those who would like to schedule a consultation at the hospital may call [email protected]

A manger, some shepherds and three wise men will take shelter in a Grantsville stable this weekend.

The Clark Historic Farm will host a live nativity and luminary walk beginning tonight and run-ning through Friday, Saturday and Monday nights.

Laurie Hurst, an organiz-er of the event, said although live nativities are common in other areas, this is a first for Grantsville.

“There are live nativities kind of up and down the Wasatch Front, but I started a live nativ-ity at the Morgan Farm in Cache Valley several years ago, and always thought it would be a good idea at the Clark Farm, so we’re going to try it out,” she said.

Live actors will portray the people involved with the first Christmas as a looped narra-tion plays, alongside live goats, sheep and a donkey, cow and

camel. White paper bag lumi-naries, decorated by children at Grantsville Elementary School and Willow Elementary School, will provide light in the nativ-ity area, as well as be used for a luminary walk that will display symbols of Christmas.

Hurst said the event is designed to bring to mind and give people an opportunity to reflect on the purpose of the holiday.

“They can sit and ponder the real meaning of Christmas,” she said.

The event is also a nod to the farm’s original owner, J. Reuben Clark, who was a member of the first presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his fervent belief in Jesus Christ.

“We’re trying to add a little of his testimony into the mix, since it was his farm,” Hurst said.

Free hot chocolate will also be served to help keep people warm, she added.

The live nativity and lumi-nary walk will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight, Friday, Saturday and Monday at the Clark Historic Farm.

Admission is $2 per person or $1 with a donation of a can of food for the Tooele County Food Bank. Admission will also be $1 for youth groups who attend the event. Overflow parking, if need-ed, will be in the park and ride lot on Main Street adjacent to the Grantsville City [email protected]

Leonard Bernstein once said, “When the passion is too much to talk, sing. When the passion is too much to sing, dance.”

Experience the passion and talent of Tooele County School District’s students at the third annual Making Spirits Bright District Dance Concert on Dec. 13.

The three high schools performing are Grantsville, Stansbury and Tooele. All three high schools each have a dance company and a ballroom com-pany. All six companies will each perform three Christmas num-bers that the students have cho-reographed.

The concert will be held at GHS and begins at 7 p.m.

Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students with an activity card, and $3 for children between ages five and twelve. Children under five years of age are admitted free.

The dance companies will also do an opening number and a closing number together that they created on Nov. 16.

In charge of the dance concert are the dance instructors at each school: Deanna Hislop of GHS and adviser for both school’s companies; Angie Romney, SHS dance company adviser; Heidi Done, SHS ballroom company adviser; and Erica Armstrong of THS and adviser for both school’s companies.

Each school also hosts one big event a year: Dance Company Adjudication in November, which was hosted by SHS; the Christmas concert in December, hosted by GHS; and the Ballroom Adjudication, hosted this year by SHS.

Next year, THS will host the Dance Company Adjudication, SHS the Christmas concert, and GHS the Ballroom Adjudication.

“I love working with the other schools and teachers,” Hislop said. “It helps make a special bond between students and the schools. It’s nice to be perform-ing arts and not competition. We root and cheer each other on.”

Alisa Patience is a sophomore at Tooele High School.

THURSDAY December 12, 2013

I’ve always kind of felt like the second of the three “Hobbit” movies would kind

of make or break the trilogy.

Better get sweeping.Picking up shortly after

“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” ended, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” finds Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) and the rest of our merry band of adventurers meeting the mysterious Beorn before venturing into the depths of Mirkwood Forest.

After being captured by giant spiders and then woodland elves, they escape to make their way to Lake Town and even-tually into the depths of the lost dwarven kingdom Erebor itself, where they encounter the treacherous dragon Smaug. Meanwhile, Gandalf (Ian McKellen) discovers more about the evil power growing to the south.

This portion of J.R.R. Tolkein’s beloved novel is widely regard-ed to be the most exciting and memorable, which is why it’s so

much harder to understand why director Peter Jackson would mess with it so much.

In splitting one book and some supplementary material into three nearly three-hour movies, it’s understandable that he would have to add some filler to both drive little bits of the story and put something on the screen that isn’t just a bunch of dwarves camping. In some cases, this works.

As a fan of Tolkein’s work, I, for the most part, really enjoyed seeing a visual explanation of what Gandalf did while he left the dwarves and Bilbo to fend for themselves. In the original work it’s summed up by a few fairly dry paragraphs. I also liked Jackson’s translation of the original story.

Of course, even then there were problems. But it’s when he got creative that things really went awry.

In the book, the dwarves spend a significant amount of time trying to find their way through Mirkwood Forest, and then a couple of weeks as unwilling guests of the king of the woodland elves, Thranduil (Lee Pace). In the movie, both of those episodes apparently take place within a day or two, which would be fine if the deficit weren’t made up with the lon-gest barrel ride in the history of barrel rides.

I didn’t have a stopwatch or anything, but I’m pretty sure the time it took them to float down the river was longer than from when they entered Mirkwood until they got into the barrels.

Oh, but wait. I forgot. They were in the elven dungeons for a while—long enough for us to get to know Tauriel (Evangeline Lily), who seems like a truly awesome trash-kicking elf until you realize the only rea-son Jackson created her was to make a disturbing sort of love triangle between her, Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Kili (Aiden Turner).

Oh, yeah, Legolas is in here, too, a whole bunch. Which is fine except he’s really not as much fun without Gimli. And I don’t have a problem with

Jackson creating Tauriel’s char-acter as much as I do how he cheapened her grit and capabil-ity with this completely super-fluous, pointless and unbeliev-able love triangle, even if Kili is one of the cuter dwarves.

The same orcs who were hunting down the dwarves in the first movie are back, and they seem to be smart and stealthy enough to get at the dwarves just about wherever they go. They are obviously a super-smart, super-stealthy variety we didn’t get to see in “The Lord of the Rings.”

Jackson apparently didn’t even think Bilbo sneaking in to steal an item of a dragon’s hoard was exciting enough, so he even toyed with that. For the people who will be watching this film, the melting point of gold is 1063 degrees Celsius. I looked it up as soon as I got home, because that’s what I kept wondering for the entire final third of the movie. Also, not all of the dwarves even made it into Erebor. (Spoiler alert: No, they’re not dead, but that kind of makes it all the more frustrat-ing. One just oversleeps. Why? No idea.)

It feels as if Jackson made all of these changes because he didn’t trust that people could be entertained for three mov-ies from one story (and they can’t, which is why he should have kept it to two movies), and because he didn’t trust either himself to make or audiences to receive a movie that wasn’t filled with scads of violence and a romantic subplot.

There is a huge amount of violence, now that I’ve men-tioned it. Not of the kind that made me leave and weep for humanity, and not even the kind that would give a person nightmares, but it’s like all of the battle scenes from “LOTR” reheated and topped with cheese so no one remembers they’ve already seen all that already. And we get that Legolas is incredibly awesome, but how many times does he really need to make a crazy arrow shot or decapitate an orc before either it or we know he even has a

knife on him? Basically, I just wanted Legloas to go away before it was over.

Did you hear that? I wanted Legolas, one of my favorite characters from “LOTR,” to just leave.

There are other things I could go on and on about—surpris-ingly shoddy graphics in some places, unusually poor acting in parts, oddly boring music, a cartoonishly corrupt depiction of Lake Town—but the things I keep coming back to are that awful love triangle and how Peter Jackson obviously feels he’s enough of an authority on Tolkein at this point to com-pletely disregard the master.

On that point, he is sorely mistaken. The difference in quality and storytelling is absurdly plain between what Tolkein wrote and what Jackson thought up. You might as well be watching a 1960s movie with really bad green-screen for how well the two mesh.

And besides being so sloppy, it was just not needed. Tolkein’s story is great. You don’t need a love triangle, you don’t need more orcs, you don’t even need Legolas balancing on moving things and still hitting shots that would make Robin Hood envi-ous.

It’s like if someone thought James Bond needed a better back story, so they made him have a wife and nine adorable children and they all lived hap-pily on a quiet little sheep farm until the evil bank tried to take it all away so that’s why he had to leave them and go into Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Or, if in the “Harry Potter” movies someone thought Dobby needed to be a little more relatable, so they gave him a cute little she-house elf to fall in love with—only the twist is that Hagrid also fancies her.

Or if it turned out the rea-son that Little Bo Peep lost her sheep was because she has a degenerative eye condition and also her mother died, so her father remarried a witch in disguise, who put a spell on Bo Peep, so she kept losing things. It’s like—

Sorry, my editor just informed me I’ve reached my limit on ridiculous metaphors. Good thing, too, because I could have gone on all day. (Ooh! Peter Jackson should try getting an editor, too! They’re pretty handy.)

Let me just end with this: I want to beat Peter Jackson senseless with a copy of “The Hobbit” and then make him read it aloud, because I don’t think he’s actually gone through the whole thing before, and write essays at the end of each chapter, plus a big final paper once he’s finished. And then I want to make him write, “I will not defile classic literature” a thousand times on a black-board.

The worst part is, there’s still a whole ‘nother movie to go, and only six of the 19 chapters left in “The Hobbit.” In contrast, this one took up about seven. Why is this three movies? It doesn’t even make sense.

Someone needs to tell Peter Jackson “no” for a change.

“Morning on the desert, and the wind is blowin’ free, and it’s ours jest for the breathin’, so let’s fill up you an’ me.”

Katherine Fall Pettey – Songs from the Sage Brush 1910

I have driven down Skull Valley countless times and every time I do, I often glance

to the Stansbury Mountains and look at the incredible west face of the Onaqui and Broons Canyon peaks above Muskrat Canyon.

From the east these peaks are un-remarkable, but from the cheatgrass and sagebrush of Skull Valley, they are an amaz-ing sight. Bold white cliffs rise vertically from the mountain base and terminate in thick pine crowns.

I remember camping at Round Knoll near Horseshoe Springs as a Boy Scout one night when there was a full moon, and looking in amazement at the moonlight washed cliffs of these peaks and wondering what it would be like to wander through the forests on their summits.

At the base of these cliffs there are a few forest pockets near the valley floor where the shadows and runoff provide a climate

suitable for tall conifers to sur-vive at a relatively low elevation. I always wanted to hike to those low lying pocket forests and see what they were like, so one afternoon several years ago, I headed out to the canyon.

To get there follow Interstate 80 west to exit 77, which is the Dugway/Rowley Exit. Then head south on state Route 196 for about six miles to where there is a small substation on the left side of the road. There should be a Bureau of Land Management sign on the highway pointing towards Muskrat Canyon, but if there is not, use the substation as your guide.

Turn left onto the dirt road and follow it east around the substation and toward the mountains. The road dete-riorates considerably after the substation, so find the limits of your vehicle, park it and then continue on foot from there. I recommend parking near the substation to save your vehicle.

Continuing on foot or moun-tain bike, the road will ramble on through dry washes, sage-brush and grass covered bench-es for about 2.5 miles until you come to a prominent knoll on your left that marks the entrance to the canyon. In another quarter mile you will enter the juniper forest—or the charred remains of it as this entire area was devastated by the Big Pole Canyon fire some years ago.

About three miles from the highway, you will come to a fork in the road. If you keep left you can follow that branch for a ways and then bushwhack up to the ridge and head south to the Timpie top at 8,003 feet. Timpie top is the high area above Miners Canyon and the quarries on the Grantsville side of the mountain.

If you keep right on the main track you will head South East into Muskrat Canyon. When I visited this place, I continued up Muskrat Canyon for another mile and then a tiny spur road headed east off of the main road to an old stock trough.

There, I decided to go off trail and bushwhack up to the cliffs from this point. It was a pretty day and even though it

was November, the sagebrush was silvery, the rabbit brush was golden and there was a bright green short grass covering the ground under the junipers and on the road.

I climbed up a spur to the base of the cliffs to the 7,000 foot elevation and the first Douglas Fir appeared off to the left cling-ing to the wall of the canyon. There were lots of little birds up there and I spooked the usual mule deer. There were interest-ing patches of furry almost vel-vet moss on some rocks, prickly pear and orange lichens on limestone boulders.

The view west into the des-ert was colorful. There was the sagebrush of the high open slope, the dark green of the juniper belt, the deep tan of the cheatgrass, the brown of the sage/cheatgrass/salt bush zone, and then the white alkali of the sinks of Skull Valley.

When I reached the base of the cliff belts, the sun was start-ing to sink behind the Cedar Mountains, so I decided to save the cliff faces for another day and walked back down to my vehicle.

There is a lot of wild ter-rain to explore in the vicinity

of Muskrat Canyon and the northern Stansbury Range. A few years after this exploration, my wife and I followed the old trail all the way back into the mouth of Muskrat Canyon. I will describe that adventure in the next column.

Hiking up Muskrat involves several miles of rocky road hik-ing or biking just to get to the base of the mountain so be pre-pared. If you leave the canyon bottoms in this area know your limits. It is technical climbing in the rocks, so be safe and don’t push it.

Muskrat Canyon bottoms can be visited any time of year and they are, to my knowledge, all on BLM land. This is a good place for breaking in a pair of snow-shoes or for taking an afternoon walk in a relatively accessible

part of the range that can still offer some solitude and silence.

AirMed Flight Paramedic Jeff Larsen shows local first responders inside the emergency transport helicopter. AirMed officially opened a new base in Tooele on Tuesday.

made the Tooele base of opera-tions necessary.

Jeff Thomas, the newly appoint-ed lead pilot and base manager for the Tooele helipad, estimated that the new base of operations will cut 15 to 20 minutes off an AirMed trip to Tooele. The base’s crew should be able to respond to a call in Tooele Valley in 15 min-utes, he said.

As an added advantage, Thomas

said the AirMed base could be used to transport patients who are not in need of intensive care for severely traumatic injuries to Mountain West Medical Center for treatment. The helipad is located a little more than a mile from the Tooele hospital.

The base is the fifth permanent base AirMed has established. The other four are located at the University of Utah and in Ogden, Payson and Park City. From Tooele, AirMed will not only be able to service Stansbury Park, Erda, Grantsville and other sur-

rounding communities, but will also extend AirMed’s reach into Nevada, Thomas said. AirMed helicopters usually service a range of 160 miles around the base where each aircraft is sta-tioned.

Tooele’s dedicated helicopter, a single-engine Bell 407, has been outfitted with an array of medical and GPS technology—an outfit worth about $1.7 million, Thomas said. The aircraft is smaller than AirMed’s flagship helicopter, which also made an appearance in Tooele for the ribbon cutting

ceremony, but can easily maneu-ver into small, hard-to-reach areas to pick up patients. In full flight, Thomas said the helicopter can reach speeds of 135-145 mph. Running the helicopter costs approximately $380 per hour.

The helicopter will be staffed 24-7 by a three-person crew con-sisting of a pilot, a nurse and a paramedic. Most crew mem-bers will not be permanently sta-tioned in Tooele. Rather, AirMed will rotate assignments in Tooele through its 150 [email protected]

clusive ruling. The report indicated that

Ashby had prescription drugs in her system at the time of her death; however, because of decomposition, it was impos-sible to tell just how much of the drug, which was prescribed to her, was present in samples, said Det. Eli Wayman of the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office.

“It’s not accurate to say, ‘This is what we found in the blood.’ It was just present in the tissue,” he said.

Additionally, Wayman said the medical examiner found no major bone breaks, which would be typical in most car crashes of that nature.

“You could run a crash like that a hundred times and 99 of those times, you’d have broken bones,” he said, noting that internal or other bodily injuries could have been a cause of death without leaving marks on the bones—or there could be another cause entirely.

The SUV had been badly dam-aged in the crash, but because of its age it is unlikely that a major mechanical failure was the cause of it leaving the road, said

Wayman. Because tissue decom-position has made it impossible to tell how much prescription medication was in Ashby’s sys-tem at the time, or how it may have affected her, investigators can not conclusively determine if that was a contributing factor.

“We don’t know if she was con-scious when she drove off or not conscious,” said Wayman.

The end of the case has, how-ever, provided one answer to some of the speculation from Ashby’s disappearance. Early in the search for her, police urged caution to stay clear if anyone did spot her vehicle. Ashby’s last credit card transaction, made minutes after she left her house, showed she had purchased bleach and drain cleaner that could be combined to make nox-ious gas.

Wayman said both bottles were found unused in the wreck-age of her SUV. He further said the bleach was still sealed, and though the drain cleaner had spilled, it was believed to have happened during the crash.

“We don’t believe that either one of those had even been touched,” he said. “There was no evidence in the toxicology to suggest an off-the-wall chemi-cal.”

The rest of the unanswered questions will likely never be

answered, he said.“We don’t know what killed

her. All we know is there were no major broken bones and her toxicology came back showing drugs she was prescribed, so it’s hard to say what specific thing killed her,” he said. “It just kind of leaves it up to the imagination to say, ‘This could have happened, or this could have happened.’”

For Ashby’s family, though the details will never be known, some things seem likely to have happened just by knowing her and what she would likely do.

“I’d like to think that I know who my mom was and her love for her family and her goodness won out in the end and that she was coming home, and she was coming down the canyon,” said Ashby’s daughter, Michelle Graves. “It’s a pretty treacherous canyon, and because of the pre-scriptions she was prescribed by her doctor, she could have lost control.”

“No, we’ll never know what happened,” she added, “but I think that there’s enough evi-dence that would show she was coming home, or could have been coming home that that’s what we’ve chosen to believe, because she was such a good person.”[email protected]

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY — An ava-lanche that was caught on video dragged a backcountry skier into a Utah ravine and buried her in snow, but the woman survived because she deployed a special air bag and other skiers were able to quickly dig her out, witnesses said Tuesday.

Joe Campanelli was using his iPhone to record the sun-splayed Wasatch mountains Monday when the skier descended into a steep gully filled with loose snow in Grizzly Gulch, a short distance from the Alta ski area east of Salt Lake City.

“That is not a good slope to ski,” Campanelli says while recording. Moments later, the slope breaks, and he says, “You’re in a slide, bud!”

The woman pulled a ripcord on an air bag-equipped back-pack _ a European-style safety device that is becoming more common in the Rocky Mountain backcountry.

Campanelli abruptly stopped recording to help rescue the skier. His friend, Aaron Rice, told The Associated Press he used an avalanche beacon and a probe to find her location, then shoveled her out with help from others. She was buried in several feet (meters) of snow.

“She was breathing, talking,” Rice said Tuesday. “She said, ‘Thank you. I can’t believe you got here so quickly.’ She was completely shaken up.”

The woman was swept about 100 feet (30 meters) down the gully at an angle approaching 40 degrees, according to a report on the Utah Avalanche Center’s

website.The woman is lucky to be

alive and uninjured, said Bruce Tremper, director of the Utah Avalanche Center. He said Utah averages about four avalanche fatalities a year.

“It’s a crapshoot — a game of Russian roulette,” Tremper said. “People may perceive a slope to be safe, but there are booby traps all around.”

The skier’s descent into the gully was so steep and short that her air bag had little time to work at keeping her above the roiling snow. Still, it might have kept her from getting buried longer, and under much deeper snow, officials said.

The skier didn’t immediate-ly return a message relayed by the AP through officials who declined to provide her name or phone number.

MATTERS OF FAITH OBITUARIES

Randall RoseAug. 27, 1953 - Dec. 5, 2013

Randall Carrol Rose passed away peacefully on Dec. 5, 2013 in the presence of his family. He died after a struggle with cancer. He was born in Vallejo, Calif., on Aug. 27, 1953. Randy was raised in Tooele and spent many of his remaining years at his home in Pine Canyon. Randy is remem-bered for his wonderful personal-ity, sense of humor, great athleti-cism, and love and appreciation for his Native American heritage. He loved walking, playing golf and watching sports. He will be missed by many who loved him. Randy is preceded in death by his parents Jones (J.R.) and Dorothy Rose, and his sister Karen Rose Eastburn Cato. Randy is survived

by two handsome sons, Brayden Robinson of Layton, and Hunter Campbell of Spokane, Wash. He is also survived by his sister Cheryll and husband Howard Hammond of Winnemucca, Nev., sister Ramona

(Bankhead) Rose of Santa Clara, Calif., and brother Jerry and wife Lisa Rose of Bountiful, in addi-tion to many other relatives. At Randy’s request there will be no funeral services, although his fam-ily has planned for a memorial to remember Randy. The memorial is planned for Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, 11 a.m. at the Tooele Loyal Order of The Moose Lodge where Randy was a member. Randy was also a mem-ber of the Chickasaw Nation and the LDS church. The Rose family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to all those who helped Randy in his time of need. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Cancer Society. Online condolences can be made at www.premierfuneral.com, by viewing the obituary and signing the guest book.

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

I have referred to Thanksgiving as the forgotten season, and I don’t think that is an exaggera-

tion. Even the greeting card folks

who have become the arbitrators of which events we celebrate as a culture, pay little attention to Thanksgiving greeting cards. It seems there is a bigger section for congratulations on having your cat neutered than the Thanksgiving card section. And the cat neutering card is available all year long.

The idea of Thanksgiving is celebrated in many cultures. In the U.S. Thanksgiving commemorates the celebration of the Pilgrims in 1621 after their first harvest

in Plymouth. It is important that we understand the circumstance: It was after the first year when almost half of their friends and family had died in a lonely land thousands of miles from home.

These were not just “the glass is half full people.” They had an understanding of something the apostle Paul had written years before to the churches of Thessalonica, in which he reminds them in verse 18 to “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (New International Version).

I understand there is a problem because there may be no politically

correct way to thank God without the risk of offending someone. But I would suggest it goes beyond the cultural confusion we have cre-ated.

I would submit to you as a rea-son why Thanksgiving is slipping out of our national discussion is simply that thanks is outside of us, because it is ultimately not about us.

Consider for a moment the third word that most infants can clearly communicate: The first is “da-da” then “ma-ma” (not necessarily in that order) and the third is often “mine.”

Who teaches their child to say “mine”? Most likely nobody does and yet it is an early concept in the human response and vocabulary. The giving of thanks, on the other hand, apparently has to be taught, a lesson that often appears irritat-ing to the pupil and the teacher frequently meets resistance.

For example, the mom might encourage, “Now what do we say,” to which the child thinks and sometimes says, “I don’t like that kind of candy,” or “What am I sup-posed to do with this thing?”

Perhaps we can say then the giv-ing of thanks is not necessarily one of those things we are prewired for, but I don’t think we can assume it does not have value. I did a quick search and in the NIV Bible there are 34 references, and in the King James Version there are 35 that contain the words “give thanks.” So even though it appears not to be a natural response, it is at the very core of our relationship with people and by extension our rela-tionship with God.

Let me give you one more view in wrapping up the idea of giv-ing thanks since I believe there is another danger in not being thank-ful: It is the sense of entitlement.

There is an old story about a man who noticed an elderly and obviously poor women selling pretzels from a cart on his way to work. The pretzels were twenty five cents and while he never bought one, he regularly placed the money on her cart and went on his way without a word between them.

One morning after leaving his quarter in the usual place, the woman called out to him. He turned, perhaps expecting thanks for his acts of kindness. He was surprised when she called out, “The cost has gone up. They are now fifty cents.”

This sense of entitlement becomes an over arching principal in a culture where we “deserve” everything, where we are “owed” everything and we have a “right” to everything. With that world view it becomes difficult to be thank-ful for anything. A holiday for the celebration of thanks can become irrelevant. It is never too late.

ally strong financial position, according to Jason Burningham, the auditor who presented the report.

However, Burningham also said there were some “interesting issues” detailed in the report.

The city’s net position decreased by $23.3 million during the course of the year, largely due to increased liabilities brought on by the loss of the ongoing lawsuit with Overlake developer Tooele Associates.

Although the city has yet to make any payments toward the judgment and has announced its intent to appeal, the inde-pendent auditor listed the entire $20.7 million judgment as a lia-bility that must be taken into account with the city’s financial standing.

According to the report, includ-ing the $20.7 million judgment in the audit is in accordance with nation-wide accounting prac-tices.

Tooele City Mayor Patrick Dunlavy said that the auditor worked closely with the city dur-ing the process, and that the city was aware the lawsuit loss would be listed on the 2013 audit.

“They just had to account that at some point. We may have to address it,” he said. “In the event that we aren’t successful with the appeal, the law allows us to pay that in many different ways—it’s not like we have to write a check the next day.”

Additionally, the audit found that the remaining decrease could be attributed to the city’s Redevelopment Agency, which exceeded its 2013 revenue by nearly $4 million.

Glenn Caldwell, finance direc-

tor for Tooele City, said the addi-tional expenses went toward paying the city’s portion of the new Tooele Applied Technology College that opened last June. The expense was planned into the budget, so the city expected a net loss in the RDA.

Mayor Dunlavy explained that the city agreed to use funds from the RDA to help pay for TATC in order to convince the state leg-islature to give financial support for the college a higher priority.

“We put up a lot of the city’s money to fund that,” he said, “knowing that it would help in the long run.” The Utah Legislature appropriated $10 million for TATC’s construction.

Dunlavy said the city believed that the training provided by TATC to area residents would attract potential employers to the area and bring in addition-al income to make up for the expense.

The audit report did note that recent economic stagnation in the area has impacted the city’s financial standing.

Despite the overall decrease in the city’s combined finan-cial position, Tooele’s general fund ended the year with a net increase. According to the audit, the general fund had about $3.1 million in unassigned fund-ing—money yet to be allocated to a particular expense—at its disposal.

This is not the first year an independent audit has reported a net position decrease for the city. An audit of the 2011-2012 fiscal year reported a net decrease of more than $4 million, accord-ing to the report by Robertson & Burningham.

However, the city also saw a net increase in revenue over the previous fiscal year by more than $5.5 million. Income from grants brought in an additional $2.4

million over 2012. Road grants intended to fund the extension of Tooele Boulevard to TATC accounted for a good portion of that increase, Caldwell said.

The city also saw a $500,000 revenue increase from taxes, more than doubled the amount of income it received from impact fees, and saw revenue from the sale of water rights increase from $100 in 2012 to $129,913 in 2013, according to the report.

While Robertson & Burningham indicated its opin-ion that the audit represented an accurate depiction of the city’s financial standing, the report noted a few small discrepan-cies discovered in city records, particularly in relation to land transactions and the re-issuance of bonds during the prior fiscal year.

Caldwell said these issues were related to changes in the state’s accounting guidelines, and Dunlavy added that small errors are to be expected within a municipality’s records.

“Sometimes that happens when you’re handling the amount of money we do,” the mayor said. “We only had three or four, and they were very minor. They iden-tify those, and we correct them.”

Dunlavy said that overall, he was pleased with the report and believed it reflected the city’s strong financial standing.

“We’re conservative with our money, and we do it the right way,” he said. As a result, he said, the city is well-positioned to continue to provide the services Tooele citizens expect.

Caldwell said the auditor plans to make a few minor changes to the language of the report over the next week. Once the report is finalized, the audit will be posted to the city’s website for public [email protected]

ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY — Officials filed drug charges against a Layton man arrested after police said he drove his truck up the steps of the Utah Capitol build-ing, court records show.

Weston Gerald Green, 36, was charged on Monday with four counts, including distribution and possession, after marijuana was found at his home, authori-ties said.

Emily Swenson, Green’s attor-ney, did not immediately return messages seeking comment on Tuesday.

No charges had been filed against Green in connection with his arrest at the Capitol.

Utah Highway Patrol Capt. Barton Blair, commander of the agency’s Capitol security unit, said investigators were review-ing the incident and waiting for final damage estimates. Charges could be expected in the next week or so, he said.

UHP said Green drove his

pickup truck up about two dozen granite steps outside the Capitol on Oct. 22.

After he left the vehicle, troop-ers said they confronted him on the third floor, where Green was stunned with a Taser, punched in the face and arrested.

When they searched his house later, authorities said they found Green was growing marijuana in his basement.

Law enforcement officers found 18 marijuana plants, equipment related to growing, and five pounds of marijuana ready for packaging, according to court records.

Officers also said they found marijuana in another room, along with toys belonging to Green’s son.

Because the child was living part-time in the home where drugs allegedly were present, Green is also facing a charge of child endangerment.

Days after the incident at the Capitol, Gov. Gary Herbert asked for a security review.

The governor’s office wouldn’t

go into detail about what the review found, but Herbert’s most recent budget proposal contains recommendations to improve Capitol security, said Juliette Tennert, the governor’s budget director and chief economist.

Herbert’s spending recom-mendations include more than $1 million for Capitol security.

The governor has requested $125,000 for one-time security improvements, which Blair said would include protecting stairs and installing bollard-style bar-riers.

Blair said the budget also calls for hiring six additional troopers for Capitol security, a move that carries a one-time expense of about $335,000 and a yearly cost of $615,000.

“The threats and the vulner-abilities that we’ve talked about and discussed from this incident really don’t require major over-haul,” Blair said. “But they do require some additional man-power and some, just hardening, so to speak, of the target.”

A8 OBITUARY


The average composite score for Tooele County School District high school juniors that took the test in March 2013 was 18.8 compared to a state aver-age of 19.8 — a one point dif-ference.

In 2011 the average ACT score for Tooele School District was 18.4 and the state average was 19.6 for a 1.2 point difference.

The ACT is designed to mea-sure academic development in English, math, reading and sci-ence. Test scores are reported on a scale of one to 36, and the four test scores are averaged to reach a composite score.

The ACT has established benchmark scores for each sub-ject that correspond to a pre-diction of success in college coursework. A benchmark score is the minimum score needed on an ACT test that indicates a 50 percent chance of obtaining a “B” or higher, or a 75 per-cent chance of obtaining a “C” or higher in the corresponding credit college courses.

In 2012, 10 percent of Tooele County students that took the ACT scored at or above the benchmark in all four areas of English, math, social studies, and science.

In 2013, 12 percent of Tooele County students that took the ACT test were rated as college ready in all four areas.

Statewide 18 percent of stu-dents were college ready in all four areas in 2013.

By subject in March 2013, 48 percent of Tooele School District juniors scored college-ready in English; 40 percent were college-ready in reading; 24 percent were college-ready in math; and 17 percent were college-ready in science.

Comparing Tooele County and Utah statewide scores to national scores can be mis-leading because of the number of students that take the test, according to Bushek. Only 10 states test all of their students.

In states that don’t test all of their students, the average score tends to be higher because stu-dents that are not college bound

who may score lower on the test are not included in the data, added Bushek.

At 20.7, Utah had the high-est average composite ACT test score for the graduating class of 2013 among the 10 states that test all students.

“Ideally it would be best if all students tested as college ready, even if they aren’t plan-ning on going to college,” said Scott Rogers, Tooele County School District superintendent. “College and career readiness are related. As we implement the new Utah Core curriculum, and align instruction and mate-rials to objectives, we should see ACT scores increase.”[email protected]

so we can continue to provide services that citizens in the unin-corporated areas of the county need and enjoy,” he said.

“We need additional funds to pay for these services and the municipal service tax is one way to raise those funds that we as a commission control,” he added.

The new tax is in addition to the general property tax, and only applies to unincorporated areas of the county. At a rate of .000752 the municipal service tax will add an additional $62 per year on a house valued at $150,000.

State law requires counties of Tooele’s size to budget appropria-tions for municipal services from either a municipal service fund or through establishing a local service district.

The state law defines municipal service as a service not provided on a countywide basis and not accounted for in another county fund. It includes police patrol, fire protection, street lighting, plan-ning and zoning, local streets and roads, and curb, gutter, and side-walk maintenance.

State law allows for municipal service fund revenue to include fees and charges for services and federal dollars. However, the municipal service fund cannot receive support from any fee or tax based on a countywide assess-ment or service.

In 2011, the year before Tooele County’s financial troubles began, the municipal services fund cov-ered the cost of the county’s engi-neering department, 80 percent of the sheriff’s patrol, county road projects, and the bookmobile.

In the 2014 municipal ser-vice budget, the bookmobile, a $128,778 expense in 2011, has been eliminated, the county engi-neer position has been dropped and the department’s staff slashed reducing the engineering budget from $837,617 in 2011 to $393,728 in 2014.

The amount charged to the municipal service fund for the sheriff’s office has dropped from

$2.6 million in 2011 to $2 million in 2014. Animal control expens-es, a line item in the municipal service budget, decreased from $84,012 in 2011 to $75,276 in 2014.

The county’s portion of gaso-line tax allocated by the state, known as the “B” road fund, is included in the municipal service fund.

In 2011 “B’ road funds were $2.2 million; the 2014 budget has $2.3 million in anticipated “B” road fund revenue and expenses.

There are new expenses in the 2014 municipal service budget that have not been charged to the municipal service fund in the past.

Each county department has estimated a percentage of its ser-vices that are provided to unin-corporated areas of the county. The amount ranges from one per-cent for the treasurer’s office to 50 percent for the county attorney and surveyor’s offices.

The municipal service fund will, for the first time, reimburse the county general fund for these services provided by the county attorney, auditor, clerk, recorder, surveyor, treasurer and commis-sioners.

The municipal service fund will also be charged for services provided to unincorporated areas for dispatch services, information technology, human resources, and geographical information services.

These new expenses add up to $1.3 million. Combined with the $1.9 million for the sheriff’s office, a total of $3.2 million will be transferred from the municipal service fund to the general fund to cover municipal services paid out of the general fund.

Clegg explained the reason for the additional charges to the municipal service fund.

“Back when the county had plenty of money, we didn’t have to worry about tracking all of the municipal services expenses,” Clegg said. “But with the decline in revenue we now need to account for all of the municipal services provided to the unincor-porated areas and make sure that

they are not paid by general fund revenue.”

The 2014 municipal service budget also contains one more new expense for the fund: eco-nomic development.

The county’s economic devel-opment office was eliminated in the first round of budget cuts in September 2012. The 2011 bud-get for economic development, then a line item in the county’s general fund, was $160,237. The 2014 budget includes $118,000 for economic development as part of the municipal service budget.

The money budgeted for eco-nomic development will be used to hire a consultant to perform work as needed, including updat-ing the county’s economic devel-opment plan, according to Tooele County Commissioner Shawn Milne.

“As Tooele City and Grantsville already pay for economic devel-opment within their boundar-ies, we expect that our economic development efforts will be spent on recruiting businesses in the unincorporated areas of the county, therefore it is a municipal service budget item,” he said.

The total proposed municipal

service expenses for 2014 are $6.3 million, down 11 percent from the 2011 municipal service expenses of $7.1 million.

The revenue streams used to fund the 2014 municipal service budget have changed from the 2011 budget.

Municipal service revenue for both years include the por-tion general sales tax collected in unincorporated areas allocat-ed to the county from the state, building permits, animal licenses, other charges for services, a pay-ment from the U.S. Forest Service, and the county’s share of gasoline tax that is earmarked for road projects.

In 2011 the county allocated $1.2 million of its $4.3 million federal Payment In-Lieu of Tax payment to the municipal service fund. The commissioners have budgeted the 2014 PILT payment to be $3.1 million, however they have chosen to put the entire amount in the general fund.

Replacing PILT as a revenue source for the municipal service fund is the $1.5 million to be gen-erated from the new municipal service tax.

“I have heard from residents in

Tooele and Grantsville cities that are concerned that their taxes were raised to pay for services to the unincorporated areas of the county,” Milne said. “We want

to make sure that municipal ser-vices are appropriately accounted for and funded.”[email protected]

With the game on the line, Tooele now knows it can depend on its star players to perform

when it matters most.The Tooele Buffaloes need-

ed every bit of offense it could muster Wednesday night against the Westlake Thunder, and they came through with a 75-74 vic-

tory.The Buffs had the ball with

22 seconds remaining and a 73-72 lead, but a turnover led to a basket for Westlake. With the Thunder in control of the lead,

the Buffs brought the ball down the floor.

Justin Pollmann took control of the rock and drove the lane with defenders draped all over him. He lifted off from just inside the free throw line, and with one hand he launched a floater that went up and into the hoop to give Tooele the lead with three seconds remaining at 75-74.

Westlake called a timeout and had one last chance. They inbounded and took a despera-tion shot from half-court that fell short, and the Buffs celebrated the win.

“If you love to compete and play basketball, that’s the kind of game you want to get involved in,” said THS head coach Shawn Faux. “That’s just a lot of fun. [Westlake] is a good team, which makes it more exciting for our team that we can compete and come out and show that we can compete against good teams when we play the way we’re capable of playing.”

Tyler Lawrence said he and his teammates didn’t come out focused in their game against Salem Hills on Monday when the Buffs lost 88-56. The game against Westlake was a different story.

“We were all ready to com-pete, ready to come out with our mindset before the game,” Lawrence said. “We had fun, we came out and competed, and it was fun. We had a good time.”

Pollmann may have hit the game-winner, but it was Lawrence who led the team in scoring with a big performance through the third quarter. Lawrence finished with 30 points, including six 3-pointers.

“I appreciate my team for feed-ing me the ball,” Lawrence said. “I was feeling it. It was good. It was good.”

Following Lawrence’s 30, Pollmann scored 27, Matt Memmott and Ace Hymas each

scored eight, and Ryan Brady scored two. Brady and Hymas also contributed six rebounds each.

Faux said the shooting perfor-mance against Westlake is close to what he had in mind when he stressed up-tempo, but he also doesn’t want to rely on hitting 3-pointers too much. Pollmann hit five 3-pointers to go along with Lawrence’s six.

“Lawrence got very hot,” Faux said. “Pollmann got very hot. It’s one of those things when you’re warm and you get on fire like that, it’s good to have, but they also scare me to death as well. It’s the old saying, when you live by the 3, you die by the 3.”

Westlake hit 13 3-pointers on the night to keep pace with Tooele. Eight of those came from one player: Spencer Garner.

“I don’t know what else we could’ve done,” Faux said. “We were in his face, and he was still casting and making. It made it interesting, but that was a lot of fun.”

Lawrence said the close win against Westlake is just the confi-dence boost the team needs.

“It gives us adrenaline to get going and get ready for region and start playing hard to get that region championship,” he said.

Faux also said this game will help Tooele down the road. He said he put together a tough schedule against 4A and 5A schools so that his players have the chance to get better and play against bigger and faster compe-tition. He said winning a game like this will elevate his players.

“I think this right here will do just that,” he said. “It’ll give them the confidence now that they’re looking for that they can compete, they can play on levels of other teams that are 4A and 5A if they come out and do what they’re supposed to do.”

Tooele’s next game will be on the road Tuesday against Pleasant Grove. That game is scheduled to start at 7 [email protected]

The Stansbury girls basket-ball team improved to 2-1 with a 44-23 drubbing of 2A American Leadership Academy at home on Tuesday night.

With its main rotation of eight to nine players, Stansbury out-scored ALA 37-16 through three quarters. Stansbury emptied its bench in the fourth quarter and ALA was able to keep pace at 7-7 in the final stanza.

Rachel Prescott was deadly from outside and led the team in scoring with 13, including one 3-pointer. Kallie Steward received some good looks inside with strong passing from her team-mates, and ended the game with 12 points. Madie Alvey knocked down a 3-pointer and finished with nine points. Bailey Wilson added five, Shyan Adams three and Danielle Dunn two.

Tuesday’s opponent was not as challenging for the Stallions as was Thursday’s game at Timpview, who throttled the Stallions 59-24.

“We’re getting better each game,” said Stansbury coach Kenzie Newton. “We went into the Timpview game hoping con-tinue to improve, and I think we did. The players were a little bit-ter after getting beat and came back extremely focused the next week. We had some good prac-tices.”

With the scored tied at 2-2 versus ALA, Stansbury scored 13-straight points to go up 15-2. Steward received a great feed from Prescott for the first Stansbury points, and later hit a short jumper. Alvey scored on a drive and was fouled for a 3-point play. Wilson scored on a fast break, and then Prescott scored five-straight points with two foul shots, a 13-foot jump shot and a drive to the basket. Alvey ended the quarter with a 3-pointer from long distance.

Alvey scored her third 3-point play on a drive and a foul shot in the second quarter. Prescott scored on a drive and Wilson added a 3-point play with a drive and a converted foul shot.

Prescott and Steward added a pair of buckets in the third quar-ter, and Danielle Dunn capped it off with a put-back basket as the third quarter ended. When Prescott drained a trey to start the fourth quarter, Stanbury led 40-19. Stewart added an inside shot and a pair of free throws to close out the scoring for the Stallions.

Stansbury will play in an eight-team tournament Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Bear River. The Stallions open with a game against [email protected]

Tooele’s girls scored a pair of big victories Thursday in a meet at Davis High School against the Darts and Herriman.

Tooele avenged a previous loss to Davis at the Cedar City Invitational with a 101-69 win over the Lady Darts. Tooele also dunked Herriman 93-73.

Herriman defeated Tooele

boys 111-46, and Davis defeated Tooele boys 126-37.

Tooele coach Mel Roberts said both opponents are strong teams from the 5A classification.

“This is the first time we have swum against Herriman,” the coach said. “The boys were at somewhat of a disadvantage with several members of the team

either gone out of town or left home due to illness.”

Kelly Clonts, Katelin Hardy, Cassidy Evans, Andrea Howsden, Syndnie Hardy and Madison Royle led the girls team with life-time best times.

For the boys, Josh Robinson, Forrest Nichols and Jake Nelson all had several lifetime best swims.

Notable swims at the Davis Invitational included Clonts, first

in the 200 free with a time of 2:14.99; Hardy, second in the 100 fly with a time of 1:11.31; Tim Nowotny, sixth in the 100 fly with a time of 1:08.32; Clonts (sec-ond) and Royle (fifth) in the 100 free with times of 1:02.28 and 1:05.37, respectively; Howsden and Hardy in the 500 free with times of 6:54.89 and 7:03.33, respectively; Robinson in the 500 free with a time of 6:21.75; Evans first in the 100 breaststroke with

a time of 1:17.87; and Nelson in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:21.17.

Tooele takes on Stansbury Thursday with a home meet against powerful Box Elder on Tuesday, Dec. 17. The Tooele Invitational is set for Dec. 20-21. The invite features defending 3A champion Wasatch and Lehi, which placed second in the 5A state meet last [email protected]

Friday, Dec. 20 will be the last day of school for Stansbury High School seniors Allan Havili and Chase Christiansen.

The two football stars and excellent students will graduate

early so they can enroll in college. Havili will attend the University of Utah, and Christiansen will enroll at Utah State University. The two full-ride football scholarship play-ers will start taking classes on Jan. 6.

The main reason the pair want-ed to graduate early is because

they want to get a head start with football at their respective schools.

“It will be a huge advantage to be able to go in early, start con-ditioning, start working on our degrees, learn the football system and practice with the team in the spring,” Christiansen said. “We

will be way ahead of those who graduate in May.”

Stansbury football coach and Chase’s father Clint Christiansen is pleased with the early exit from high school by his two star play-ers

“I’ve had Division 1 football recruits in the past as an assis-tant at Timpanogos, and as head coach at Provo High School. But I’ve never had two Division 1 kids who graduated early like this so they can start early with football and their college education. That’s what I’m most excited about,” coach Christiansen said.

The Stansbury football team will miss the services of three-year starters Chase Christiansen and Havili. Opponents are glad they’re gone.

“They’ve been a tremendous asset to our football team. They are both great students and great leaders,” their coach said.

Havili excelled as a defensive tackle where he made 145 tackles in his high school career with four sacks. Havili also played offensive center.

Chase Christiansen started at quarterback on offense and line-backer on defense. As a quarter-back he passed for 1,358 yards with 16 TD passes. He rushed for 2,351 yards and 38 touchdowns. He averaged 7.08 yards per carry. On defense he made 118 tackles.

“Both of them are very domi-nating football players. Both are extremely quick and big and strong,” the coach said. “Every opponent had to figure out a way to stop those guys.”

Coach Christiansen is optimis-

tic that his two players can com-pete for major roles on their col-lege teams as freshmen. “That’s what I’ve heard from their college coaches — that they will compete for playing time. Both these guys are very good at preparing them-selves. You don’t get to be as good as they are without hard work and planning.”

Havili started playing football in the third grade and Chase in the fourth grade.

“I was big so everybody expect-ed me to play football in the third grade. I really didn’t take it seri-ously until a few years later,” Havili said. “I have had a lot of cousins who played at the Division 1 level like Ricky Hemuli at Oregon and Stanley Havili at USC so it’s a fam-ily thing.”

With a father as a football coach, it was natural for Chase Christiansen. “When I was younger we lived in Springville and I would go with my dad who coached at Provo. So I developed a good foot-

ball IQ early. Then he got the job here and we moved to Stansbury when I was a freshman.”

Offers came flooding in for Havili his senior season. “It was Utah all the way until this past summer when I got offers from Wisconsin and Oklahoma. I ended up taking an official visit to Wisconsin, but in the end I thought Utah is the place for me because it’s close to home. The coaching staff there is amazing. It feels like home when I’m there,” Havili said.

“We went to a camp at Utah State, and I just liked being around the coaches there and liked how they worked with the players,” Chase Christiansen said. “Coach Matt Wells is a stud — he’s a cool guy.”

Every Grantsville player who entered the game against St. Joseph Catholic contributed to the scoring in some way, but it wasn’t enough.

The Grantsville Cowboys girls basketball team fell to the St. Joseph Catholic Lady Jayhawks 33-21. The Lady Jayhawks ended the game on a 15-4 run that pro-pelled them to victory over the Cowboys.

Sophomore guard Whitney Castagno stepped to the line with 2:50 remaining in the third quarter, and she hit one out of two free throws to bring the Cowboys within 18-17. However, that’s when SJC pulled away with its run to end the third quarter and into the fourth quarter.

The Lady Jayhawks led by as many as 14 at 33-19 before fresh-man center Abby Butler put in a layup late in the fourth quarter for the final points of the game. She was fouled but missed the free throw.

Grantsville had the lead early on at 2-0 when senior forward Jessy Davis scored a bucket. SJC responded with a 6-0 run, which was followed by two buckets from Grantsville. Junior guard Bailey Critchlow dished an assist to sophomore guard Megan Caferelli to make the score 6-4, and Butler grabbed an offensive rebound on her own miss and put it back in to even the score at 6.

SJC responded with a 3-point-er, and Castagno came back down underneath the hoop. She found Critchlow with a pass on the baseline, and Critchlow knocked down a jump shot to make the score 9-8. SJC ended the quarter with another basket to make it 11-8.

SJC scored the first basket of the second quarter, and GHS

coach Megan Vera called time-out with 4:38 to go until half-time. SJC came out and scored one more free throw before Grantsville responded with two more baskets before the break. Butler grabbed another offen-sive rebound and put a layup back in, and junior guard Angel Cloward nailed a jump shot to make the score 14-12 going into halftime.

In the third quarter, Critchlow found freshman forward Riley Ekins for a layup. Ekins then fol-lowed that with an assist of her

own to sophomore forward Kalli Hammond, making the score 18-16 in favor of SJC. That’s what sparked the eventual run by SJC to close the game.

Butler led Grantsville in scoring with 6 points, fol-lowed by Ekins with 4, Davis, Caferelli, Hammond, Critchlow and Cloward each with 2, and Castagno with 1.

Castagno led the team in rebounding with 10 boards, fol-lowed by Ekins with eight, Butler with five, Critchlow four, Cloward and Davis with three each, and Caferelli and Hammond with one each.

Grantsville’s next game is at

home Thursday against Park City. That game starts at 7 p.m. Park City and Grantsville have equal records at [email protected]

I t was only supposed to be a little hobby farm, a place to putter in retire-ment.

But what started out as a few alpaca at Sandy and Terry Stapley’s Grantsville home has blossomed into a full-time job and then some.

“We always wanted a hobby farm, and we got it,” Sandy said.

Three years ago last month, Sandy, now 62, was looking for rovings to make berets for her granddaughters’ Christmas presents, but could only find it on an alpaca farm.

“When I went to the alpaca farm, I was just really smitten with the whole process — the animals, the process of the fiber going from raw fiber to yarn,” she said. “So I called Terry and I said, ‘Hey, how about just getting an alpaca farm?’ and he said, ‘That’s OK.’”

The couple, then living in Saratoga Springs, started looking for prop-erty suitable for the animals and found 10 acres on the western edge of Grantsville. They made an offer, and it was accepted; they listed their house for sale, and it sold. By March they were moved in. With little agri-cultural background besides years of gardening, they started their hobby farm.

Many people leave their desktop and laptop computers on all the

time. This can be interesting when getting an email or a Skype call at 3:30 in the morn-ing and your computer plays a sound to indicate its arrival. You can silence your computer during your sleeping hours, no matter what time of the day that may be.

Move the mouse to the lower-right corner to expose the Charm bar. Click “Settings” at the bottom, and then click “Change PC settings.” Click “Search and apps” on the left and then click “Notifications” on the left. I’ll cover all the sec-tions.

First, under the “Notification” setting (right), you can select to turn off app notifications or just the sounds. You can also select to show app notifications on the Lock screen and have your screen turn on when you get a call.

Skipping to the bottom, you’ll notice a list of applications that can deliver notification mes-sages to you. Here, you can per-sonalize what apps you want to continue to contact you and you can turn off the ones you don’t want notices from. You simply click the slider bar on the right and it should toggle between “On” and “Off.”

Keep in mind that notifica-tions can include important information and not just junk messages that you don’t need. Some examples may be updates from your computer manu-facturer, updates for specific applications that are installed on your computer and updates for applications you have down-loaded and installed from the Microsoft Store. Go ahead and make your selections.

Now, just above the list of applications is the “Quiet Hours” section. Click the slider bar to toggle between “On” and “Off.” Once it is on, you can select the times to begin and end quiet time and you can also select to still allow calls to con-tact you during quiet hours.

Since your selections are saved as you make your choices, you do not need to click a “Save” button. Just push the Windows Logo key on your keyboard to go to your “Start” screen and resume your activities.

Scott Lindsay actively pro-motes learning the computer, regardless of age, to better one’s life and circumstances and has helped thousands of people over the past 13 years to become bet-ter computer users. He can be reached at [email protected].

They bought four alpacas at first, three of which are still roaming in their field, built them a barn and a fence, and learned how to shear them. The Stapleys said the animals proved to be relatively low maintenance.

“If we just had the alpaca, it really would be just a hobby. It takes a half hour in the morning to feed them, and a half hour to feed them in the afternoon, so they’re pretty self-sufficient,” Sandy said.

Then came chickens, provid-ing the couple with fresh eggs. Not long after, they got a couple of goats, and learned to use the milk from those animals in a variety of ways.

“We make kefir, we’ve made mozzarella cheese, we’ve made yogurt, we drink it,” Sandy said. “It’s great.”

The chickens and goats were more demanding than the alpacas — the chickens’ eggs had to be gathered, and the goats had to be milked at rough-ly the same time twice a day. In March, the couple started their most difficult and time-consum-

ing project yet, but one that has also been an invigorating chal-lenge: aquaponics.

Similar to hydroponics, but lacking chemical fertilizers, in aquaponic food production, plants are sprouted in a small, aerated cup of soil but then are moved to a holding tray on a shallow basin of water. The water flows from tanks holding trout and koi, and the natural byproducts of their droppings, broken down by bacteria, fertil-ize the plants as the water goes through the system.

As the plants absorb the nutrients, the water is cleansed, giving the fish a constant flow of clean water that pumps back into the tanks.

“We feed the fish, they poop, it feeds the plants, the plants feed us,” Sandy said. “It goes round and around.”

The trickiest part was in get-ting the right conditions for the fish. The first batch of trout, all 200 of them, died from various reasons.

“Then we got the koi to help what they call cycle the water,” Terry said. “Like in an aquarium, you put something else in there to start it, get the bacteria going. They’re much more tolerant of temperature and ammonia.”

Aquaponic systems have a water efficiency rate an esti-mated 95 percent higher than conventional ground growing operations. Terry said they only have to add a little water back into the approximately 2,500 gallon system every few months.

The result is a greenhouse lined with lush greens, even

when the temperature dips well below freezing — though, the couple admits, the cold has its challenges, even in a green-house. The crops were convert-ed to virtually all cool-weather greens and a rocket stove was implemented to heat water and the ground.

Air currents on the wood-burning, J-shaped stove force the flames sideways, and the smoke and heat are diverted to underground vents, simulta-neously warming the dirt and stripping the exhaust of its par-ticulates so by the time it pumps outside it is more steam than smoke.

In addition to the water heat-ed by a coil around the exterior of the stove, a solar-powered water heater helps keep the temperature fish- and plant-friendly — though, in the recent bitter cold, some of the plants have slowed their growth. Sandy said the operation, dubbed Deseret Peak Aquaponics, pro-duces enough to supply seven families with greens. The couple said they would like to expand and add four more greenhouses of the same size for a more com-mercial operation, but cannot currently because of zoning restrictions, though they can sell produce in a more farmers

market-type basis. Ideally, they would also grow the operation to a level that would allow them to teach others and help make the practice more popular in this part of the country.

Regardless of whether they can expand in the future, the Stapleys’ hobby farm will keep them busy through their golden years.

“The easy chair is in between coming and stoking the fire and going and checking on the ani-mals, and usually we’re falling asleep in the easy chair,” Sandy said. “But it’s been fun.”

Faith, Family and Food!My father, Howard, was

in the Air Force, and my mother, Angeline, was

a homemaker. They didn’t have a lot of money to buy Christmas presents for my three siblings and me. One thing they did give us was lots of love, great food and faith in God and in the future, no matter how bleak things might look in the present. The beauty of my childhood is that I never knew that we didn’t have much money.

When I became an adult, I made a personal decision to accept Jesus Christ and become a Christian. My decision has beautifully and wonderfully shaped my life and my faith. It takes a great faith to carry on in the midst of the challenges that we all face day in and day out. Unlike earthly things, which become worn and depleted when used time after time, faith becomes even stronger and more abundant the more it’s used.

I often hear about people “los-ing faith.” If you feel like that, all I can say is that lost things are often found in the most unex-pected places and at the most unexpected times. I’ve misplaced things, thinking that they were lost, only to find them when I was looking for something else. The thing I’d thought I’d lost was there all the time, waiting for me to discover it again. Faith is like that. Sometimes when you think you’ve reached the end of your ability to believe, something or someone comes along to shore you up so that you can go on.

I have great faith in the future and in the ability of the American people to persevere in these difficult times. We must love our country and hold fast to the faith and the moral prin-ciples America was founded upon. No matter what your cir-cumstances might be, hold on to hope, preserve and cherish your family’s heritage and memories, and most importantly in these difficult times, keep the faith.

While the holidays pose their own special set of personal and financial challenges, it’s also a time to appreciate and treasure the priceless things in our lives -- love, faith and family. While I live my life in a way that celebrates Christ everyday, Christmas is a special time and one of my favorite holidays.

Some of my best Christmas memories are linked to the dishes my mother made during the holidays. This recipe for my Mom’s Butter Cookies is a simple dessert from my childhood. Making and sharing these deli-cious cookies is almost as fun as eating them!

Merry Christmas, keep the faith, and have a blessed holiday season!

MOM’S BUTTER COOKIES1 cup butter1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

or stirred before measuring 1/8 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon baking powderWalnut, pecan or almond

halves, toasted (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 300 F. Using a food processor or mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Stir dry ingredients into but-ter mixture; mixing until well-blended.

2. Shape dough into small balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets; press a nut half into the top of each ball, if desired. Bake butter cookies for 20 minutes, or until just lightly browned. Place on a rack to cool. Store in an air-tight container. Makes 5 to 6 dozen butter cookies

THURSDAY December 12, 2013 B3TOOELE TRANSCRIPT-BULLETIN

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a female in my 70s. When I was 12 years old, I, along with a younger brother and older sister, all had what our doctor called “yellow jaundice.” We all were very sick for about two weeks. It was very contagious and a good percent-age of the schoolchildren had it, although none of my family members at home caught it from us.

I know jaundice in itself is not a disease. Could we have had hepatitis? Are there any long-term effects from it? — A.P.

ANSWER: It does indeed sound like hepatitis.

The most common form of contagious hepatitis is called hepatitis A. It comes from con-taminated food or water, but it sounds like your family was very careful if nobody else at home caught it. Fortunately, hepatitis A does not have any long-term effects, the way hepatitis B and C do.

Acute mononucleosis some-times causes hepatitis, but if a lot of kids had it at the same time, I suspect it came from food. There

is now a vaccine for hepatitis A, which is recommended for all travelers.

The booklet on hepatitis explains the three different kinds — A, B and C. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 503W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I

looked in the mirror this morn-ing and couldn’t believe what I saw. My right eye was bright red. It looked like someone had punched me. When my husband saw it, he asked if he had hit me while he was asleep. He didn’t.

It doesn’t hurt. My vision is perfect. My eye looks frightful. Do I need to see a doctor? — Y.T.

ANSWER: Your question is asked repeatedly. My long-dis-tance guess is a subconjunctival hemorrhage. The conjunctiva is a cellophane-like covering of the eye. Beneath it is a network

of invisible blood vessels. When one of those delicate vessels breaks, blood covers that part of the eye.

Coughing, sneezing or straining causes the breakage. Sometimes it happens for no apparent reason. The eye looks awful, but no real harm is done. The blood is absorbed in about a week. You can hurry it up by put-ting warm compresses over the closed eye.

You need to see a doctor if the eye begins to pain you, if the blood stays for longer than a week or if it happens time and again.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have

a question that popped into my mind. What causes cauliflower ears? I don’t hear this talked about anymore. It used to be a common thing for boxers. — J.J.

ANSWER: Cauliflower ears are swollen, bumpy and disfigured. They result when there’s bleed-ing between the ear’s skin and the ear’s cartilage.

If a pool of blood forms in that area, unless it’s drained, the blood can eventually become calcified.

You don’t see them as much anymore because helmets are used in most contact sports now.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he

is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of avail-able health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

• It was industrialist Andrew Carnegie, who was born into a poor Scottish family and emigrated to the U.S. as a teen, who made the following sage observation: “There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the

• You might be surprised to learn that drinking tea increased the life expectancy of the British — and even more surprised to learn why. It wasn’t any beneficial com-pound found in the tea itself;

rather, it was the act of boiling the water, which had the effect of killing pathogens found in the untreated water that was largely in use in England at that time. Also, once the Brits started drinking tea, they became addicted to the caffeine and therefore drank quite a bit more boiled water than had been their wont, decreasing even further their exposure to the pathogens that caused illness.

Personalize your wrapped-up gifts for friends and relatives with whimsical

extras. These “box toppers” might be little items you would traditionally use as stocking stuffers. But instead of wrapping them or hiding them away in a stocking, attach them to the outside of presents as a decora-tion in place of or in addition to a ribbon or bow.

Box toppers are a great idea

for gift-giving kids, too. If your children are using their saved allowance money for holiday shopping, purchasing inex-

pensive box toppers to spruce up gifts that grown-ups have already purchased is a practical way to stay within a pint-size budget.

To get started, help your kids think of items that reflect the recipient’s personality, such as seed packets for the gardener, paintbrushes for an artist, a guitar pick for a musician, wrist bands for a tennis player, etc.

Or, find items that are a clue

to what’s inside the package. For example, if you’re giving a cook-book, fasten a set of shiny new measuring spoons to the bow. Top a craft kit with buttons and pipe cleaners, a box filled with skeins of yarn with a crochet hook, and a toy for Fido with a dog treat.

Small family heirlooms also make special box toppers. Treasured items such as a vin-tage Christmas tree ornament, great auntie’s crocheted doily or a shined up silver baby spoon that have been stored away for years will evoke memories and add charm to the package.

Extra ideas: Here are more inexpensive box-topper items kids will have fun looking for on your family shopping spree: a teething ring for a new baby; snazzy barrettes for little sister; funny refrigerator magnets for Mom and Dad; a bundle of col-orful Post-it notes for a teenage cousin; and a packet of herbs for grandma’s special homemade bread.

Big news from England ... Monty Python is bring-ing its “Flying Circus”

to London on July 1. The remaining Python members — Eric Idle, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones (sixth member Graham Chapman died in 1989) — will perform their comeback “with a modern, topical, Pythonesque twist” to some of their greatest skits. Think anyone cares? Their show sold out 20,000 seats in 43.5 seconds, forcing them to add four more shows through July 5. A sixth show is planned for the Hollywood Bowl, where they last performed live in 1980. Eric Idle’s “Spamalot” took Broadway by storm in 2005, winning three Tony Awards, including best musical.

• • •James Franco has six mov-

ies in the can and currently is shooting two others. Franco directed, co-wrote and stars in two of them: “As I Lay Dying” and “Child of God.” Then there’s “Third Person,” directed by Paul Haggis and starring Mila Kunis (his “Oz the Great and Powerful” co-star) and Oscar-winners Adrien Brody, Kim Basinger and Olivia Wilde; “Homefront” with Jason Statham and Winona Ryder; “Good People” with Kate Hudson; and “Veronica Mars” (the movie version of the TV series), starring Kristen Bell. Franco is before the cameras in “True Story” with Jonah Hill, and “Everything Will Be Fine” with Rachel McAdams, in 3D. Then he’ll star on Broadway in John Steinbeck’s 1937 classic play “Of Mice and Men,” with

Chris Dowd, previewing March 19 and opening April 16. What does he do in his spare time?

Dustin Hoffman just com-pleted “Chef,” written, directed and starring Jon Favreau, plus Robert Downey Jr., and a TV film for the BBC of Roald Dahl’s “Esio Trot,” with Judi Dench. He starts shooting “Boychoir” with Alfred Molina and Kathy Bates in February.

• • •The rarest piece of movie

memorabilia, the statue of “The Maltese Falcon,” just sold for $4.85 million. It topped the original Batmobile from the Adam West “Batman” TV series, which sold for $4.6 million, and Sean Connery’s 007 Aston Martin from “Goldfinger,” which sold for a mere $4.1 mil-lion. Before that, Dorothy’s ruby slippers, worn by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz,” sold for $2 million, and the model of the starship Enterprise used in “Star Trek” sold for $576,000.

So why did the statue from “The Maltese Falcon” sell for so much? According to Dr. Catherine Williamson, direc-tor of the Entertainment Memorabilia Department of Bonham’s auction house, “The Maltese Falcon is arguably the most important movie prop ever, and is central to the his-tory of cinema.” Talk about an inflated opinion! The original statue sold for $4.85 million while the original film cost less than $300,000 to make. And what do you have in your attic or garage?

Driving around a figure-eight course at about 20 to 25 miles per hour

certainly doesn’t seem like much of a test, but when the asphalt gets a liberal dose of water, it suddenly becomes a bit more of a challenge. At that speed, the 2014 Nissan Rogue starts to squirm and feel ‘loose’ circling the tight track. With each lap I take, I’m expecting it to slide out control and into the barricade’s encircling the tight cone-defined course. However the point of the exercise is quickly revealed when I pushed a button on the steering wheel that activates the Active Trace Control (ATC) using the steering wheel-mounted controls.

Retrying the course with the ATC activated the Rogue felts more sure-footed, even at a higher speed. The ATC, which is essentially a sophisti-cated stability control system Nissan Calls Vehicle Dynamics Control. It also provides a much improved handling quality when driven at similar speeds around a tight circle, also on wet pavement. These exercises along with a drive through the Nashville countryside were part of my introduction to the 2014 Nissan Rogue.

The ATC is part of Nissan’s new suite of driver assist fea-tures, including Active Engine Braking, Active Ride Control, Hill Start Assist and Intelligent

All-Wheel Drive with Hill Descent Control. This is pretty complex technology for a mid-level crossover.

Totally redesigned and re-engineered for 2014, the Nissan Rogue is a product of Nissan’s Common Module Family architecture that it shares with parent company Renault. The platform allows Nissan to add efficiencies of production and keep prices down.

Nissan Design chief Taro Ueda says the new Rogue uses a series of dynamic lines to convey strength and clarity with a premium look to both the exterior and interior. The final product, which uses a combina-tion of aluminum, composite and high strength steel is lighter and significantly more aerody-namic vehicle than the previous generation.

One simple feature I found very useful was the rear doors that open wider (to 77 degrees) to provide easier access to the back seat. Owners will appreci-ate all the extra thought put into the new Rogue with features like this.

Another design feature that

especially caught my atten-tion was the cargo space that can be reconfigured 18 ways to maximized capacity. It uses partitions, multiple levels and hidden compartments. It also includes easy-to-take-out-and-clean liners to carry wet or dirty cargo. This system would be perfect for grocery shopping, so I could keep the watermelon from rolling into the eggs.

The Nissan Rogue comes standard with two rows of com-fortable passenger seating – the S and SV models are also avail-able with an optional third row.

The cockpit is attractive with nicely contoured seats to help hold you in place during spirited cornering, or driving quickly around a figure-eight course. I like the instrumenta-tion and placement of the con-trols, it’s very intuitive. I espe-cially like the Advanced Driver Assist Display – the five-inch color screen in the center of the instrument cluster which dis-plays a wide variety of informa-tion for the driver. The interior is filled with soft-touch surfaces, so nearly anywhere you touch the plastic surfaces is padded – dash, doors, armrests, center armrest, etc.

Nissan has advanced their connectivity quotient with the new NissanconnetTM system designed to help the driver con-

centrate on driving and keep hands on the steering wheel, not buttons. It has functions like hands-free text-messaging and a variety of apps to aid the driver and entertain the passen-gers. Nissan expects the system to be in 1.5 million Nissans by 2015 and in all Nissans by 2017. The navigation system also includes a cool display that uses multiple cameras to show you what’s right around the Rogue. It looks as if you are looking down on the vehicle from above – this makes it easier to maneu-ver in tight areas and see poten-tial hazards.

The optional panoramic moonroof extends over the two front rows of seats. The front glass panel slides and tilts, while the rear glass panel is fixed. When in the open position, the front panel slides under the fixed second panel.

All Rogue models are outfit-ted with a 170-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine driving Nissan’s latest generation Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission). The Nissan CVT is probably the best in the busi-ness. The latest Xtronic has a 40 percent reduction in friction loss and an improved belt and pulley system which combine to improve efficiency by about 10 percent. The engine and trans-mission partnership produces a fuel economy rating of 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway (best-in-class for the front-wheel drive version) and 28 mpg com-bined. The all-wheel drive mod-els are rated at 25/32/28 mpg.

The latest generation trans-mission also simulates shift points in the upper RPMs to give it the feeling of normal gear changes, this also prevents that strange feel of the engine winding up and the transmis-sion is catching up. For better control, I personally prefer to be able to manually shift an automatic transmission using paddle shifters or the console mounted shifter. Scott Shirley, Nissan’s Chief Marketing Manager, told me their studies indicated the average consumer didn’t care about shifting, so that ability is not included in

the Rogue, even though some other Nissan models have it. Instead the Rogue has Active Engine Braking which auto-matically helps do the same thing, without having to shift manually.

The 2014 Nissan Rogue is available in three trim levels: S, SV and SL. The front-wheel drive versions are priced at $23,350; $25,090 and $28,930 respectively, including the destination charge. All-wheel drive adds $1,350. The S and SL models each have one avail-able option package and the SV, which should be the vol-ume leader, has three available packages adding features like the third row seating, run-flat tires, navigation and panoramic moonroof. A fully loaded Rogue SL AWD would top out at $32,270.

Some of the important new safety features, which are part of the SV and SL option packages, are Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Departure Warning and Moving Object Detection.

I thought the previous gen-eration Rogue was one of the best of the mid-level Crossover Utility vehicles, however the 2014 model is a major leap for-ward. It offers a good level of performance and fuel economy combined with a sophisticated look and on road presence. It’s quiet, comfortable and gives the feeling of being a quality upper-level product.

Nissan believes the advance-ment and increase in pricing of the entire category had left a void at the bottom of this category, however. With that in mind, they have decided to continue to build the previous generation and rebadge it as the Rogue Select. The content will be simplified and the base price will be under $20,000 to offer a low cost option in that category.

The new generation 2014 Nissan Rogue should be arriv-ing at dealerships now, and the Rogue Select goes on sale in January 2014.

VirtualTourist.comTRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

As the holidays approach, there are numerous things to dread like long hours spent in airports, seasonal weight gain and searching for gifts for every-one on your list. To aid with your holiday shopping, the members and editors of travel website VirtualTourist (www.virtualtour-ist.com) came up with a list of stores with unique gifts in equally stimulating spaces. No longer a chore, enjoy your holi-day shopping at one of our “Top 5 Unusual Shops.”

1. Poketo, Downtown Los Angeles, Calif.

Originally started as a way to bring “art for your everyday,” the husband-and-wife team behind Poketo became known for their limited-edition vinyl artist wallets. Over the years, the brand grew, expanding into a brick-and-mortar shop/gal-lery space in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. In addition to carrying Poketo’s online goods and a growing list

of store-exclusive products, it also serves as a creative show-case for local and international artists. The store also hosts fun workshops — coming up, a holi-day print workshop with “Yellow Owl Workshop” owner Christine Schmidt and a “21st Century Calligraphy Workshop” in January. In addition to their vinyl wallets, the store carries cute home goods, handmade jewelry and limited edition art prints — a great place to find a gift for anyone who loves Etsy.

2. Colette, Paris, FrancePerhaps the very first “con-

cept” store, Colette is truly a lifestyle boutique. Its location on Rue Saint-Honore honors the store’s fashion roots, but it also serves as a cultural hub within the city, often hosting book sign-ings and events that coordinate with other events happening around Paris. For example, this month the store will host a book signing for Tokyo 2020 in con-junction with the Paris-Photo art fair. The store is also well known for its collaborations — from Top Shop to Moncler or Erdem, the

store is filled with unique brand-ed items. If you’re looking for the present for that friend who only

wears “Limited Edition” items, this is the place to visit.

3. Jamonisimo, Barcelona, Spain

Located in the Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona, this shop specializes in everything HAM, from acorn-fed Iberian hams to “recebo” and “chorizo.” The store also has a few notori-ous patrons, including chefs Ferran Adria, Alain Ducasse and Anthony Bourdain. In addition to providing fantastic goods, the shop can host tastings for up to 12 people, during which guests can select the part of the ham they prefer and discover their region of choice, as well. The shop can vacuum-seal selec-tions for you to bring home, or arrange for delivery and corpo-rate gifts.

4. Konzepp, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Tucked into an alley off Hollywood Road, Konzepp exemplifies the explosion of creativity and rebirth happen-ing in Hong Kong’s Sheung Wan

district. The shop was born out of the desire to “hatch” a place in Hong Kong where the artistic and creative community could come together and inspire each other. From its bright yellow sculptural facade to the unique brand collaborations sold in the shop, it looks to be accomplish-ing its goal and setting a new standard for the lifestyle concept space. For holiday shopping, the store carries unique finds like HAY Kaleido Trays for the coffee table, Henrik Vibskov cologne and patterned socks for the male who has everything, and Libertine clothing for the consummate design snob. If you can’t get to Hong Kong or Singapore (where they have another store), you can also order online — they ship glob-ally.

5. Daikanyama T-Site, Tokyo, Japan

In the up-and-coming but relaxed Daikanyama District, T-site is a retail experience tai-lored to the over-50 age group, but able to be enjoyed by all.

Although the campus is primar-ily a bookstore, it contains a series of boutique spaces carry-ing carefully curated merchan-dise, with a vibe and service tailored for the target market. In addition to the shopping and exquisite architecture of the campus, the complex also houses a bar, the Anjin Lounge, where visitors can enjoy a cock-tail or contemplate a purchase. The variety of books and knowl-edgeable sales staff make it just the spot to hit if you have a book worm or first-edition collector on your list.

Whether you’re shopping at home or abroad, we hope you find time to enjoy your shop-ping at one of these unique spots during the holiday season. There’s still time to plan your holiday getaway — for more tips, photos and reviews about these destinations and others, check out VirtualTourist.com.

Why some lottery winners have cursed their big winby Robert Pagliarini

TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY

What happens when your “dreams” come true? We’re always told to be

careful what we wish for, and for Powerball lottery winner “Wild” Willie Seeley and his wife Nancy, this advice couldn’t be more true.

The Seeleys are calling their $3.8 million win a “curse.” Why? They have been bombarded by the media for interviews, and family members - many of them virtual strangers — have hit them up for loans and financial favors. “There are days I wish we were back to just getting paid every two weeks,” Willie Seeley confessed in an NBC News inter-view.

There is nothing unusual about their complaints. This is what commonly happens with lottery winners as well as with other recipients of sudden wealth — from sports contracts,

legal settlements or even inheri-tances.

“I wish I’d torn that ticket up,” said $315 million Powerball win-ner Andrew “Jack” Whittaker. He says after his big win he was robbed, lost his granddaughter to a drug overdose, was sued, and took up drinking and gam-bling.

As a sudden-wealth financial advisor for more than 15 years, I’ve had the chance to work with many clients who have received a windfall, and I’ve noticed there are predictable patterns — pat-terns of thinking and behavior that can explain how a multimil-lion dollar lottery winner can call the money a curse just a month after winning.

Immediately before or right after a sudden wealth event, many clients experience an almost out-of-body feeling. I refer to this as the honeymoon stage of sudden wealth. They are exuberant. It’s an exciting

time and they feel like they are on top of the world. Anything and everything is possible. They celebrate with family and friends. They may buy new cars and larger houses, jet skis and motorcycles. It’s Christmas morning every day. But the thing that makes Christmas so special is that it comes just once a year. The honeymoon phase is an arti-ficial reality that is not sustain-able. Their emotions are high, and they are enjoying the charge of the novelty of their new life. But this “high” cannot last for-ever — typically a few days to six months — and then reality hits.

Did Willie Seeley experience the honeymoon stage? I think he did, and I think it lasted about a month. Seeley and 15 of his co-workers won the $450 million Powerball jackpot in August. He was all smiles as he celebrated his win by holding a large check over his head at a press confer-ence. At the time, he gushed that

he was “happy, happy, happy.” After the win, he and his wife quit their jobs, bought new cars, fixed their house, and helped Willie’s father and children — a frenzy of activity in a short peri-od of time.

But it appears the honeymoon stage is over. “The drama is non-stop,” Seeley said. His wife added that the money is “a curse.”

After years of working with clients in the aftermath of a windfall, their reaction is not surprising. Think of a pendulum swinging from one extreme to the other — from joy, excitement and happiness to emptiness, resentment and sometimes even despair. Just like the high, this post-honeymoon stage can be temporary. It’s a critical junc-tion where the Seeleys and other sudden wealth recipients have a choice. They can either let the money control their lives, or they can begin to control their own lives and use the money as

a tool rather than be used by the money.

It’s a delicate process, but one that has dramatic reper-cussions for their lives and the lives of their children and fam-ily. The solution is to not let the win define who they are or to change what they enjoyed about their lives pre-Powerball win. It involves exploring what they want their new lives to look like and creating a strategy that uses the money to help them achieve this. The honeymoon stage can leave a big void. It’s important to fill that hole with activities and purpose.

One of the best ways to feel in control of the money rather than be controlled by the money is to get very clear on how much you have, where it is, how much income it will produce, and to develop a strategy for responding to loan requests from friends and family. It sounds simple, but just taking these steps can give the

client a sense of control so they don’t feel they are constantly reacting. Seeley said in an inter-view, “You have to change your whole way of life, but we didn’t want to change the way we lived. We liked the way we lived.”

If the Seeleys can get in front of the money and start to control it — and based on my experi-ence they can — they will start to feel good about their win and begin to use their sudden money to improve their lives rather than see it as a burden or curse.

TOOELE

Elaine Ipson writes with a quiet control, without exaggeration or self-indulgence. The poems recite history in its intimacy and immediacy, but without fanfare. Each image, each turn of metaphorical phrase is deeply perceived and presented. The reader moves through Elaine’s eyes, mindful search for meaning, and strength of spirit into realms of reality and

knowledge. Read these poems in solitude, let Elaine’s grace and wisdom carry you into past times tangled with hauntings, dreams, and fond memories.

Oquirrhs half-circle this valleylike shawled womensafeguarding children.The moon and sun, in their turn,rise to walk on blue shoulders,enter the low-land through foldsin rough garments.

Here, a south windblesses violets in springtimeon hills the color of Irelandand fragrant with rain.At dusk, when gold of the sunsethas faded, lavender peaks to the westreach for the evening starto hold in their pinyons.

Time is tangledfrom long years of living,but I will rememberthis valley lifting sagebrush armsto a mountain,ribboned and veiledin the morning mist,as I taste, once again,salted tears of the wind.

An American Tale“A Cowboy Christmas is a wonderful tale of a young cowboy’s roam and a heartfelt love story. A great Christmas story and a delightful read for all seasons.”

“A vivid book, rich in detail, about one of the earth’s great creatures.”

– Thomas McGuaneAuthor of

Ninety-Two in the Shade

Can animals return as ghosts? Explore the evidence in thes 35 remarkable ghost stories. Based largely on eyewitness accounts, they will inspire and astound, confi rming the special bond between the human and animal worlds.

Here are the ghosts of Montana, the strange but true tales of unnerving sights and sounds that have never been explained. Footsteps when no one is there. Doors that lock and unlock on their own. Things that move that shouldn’t move. Spectral bedside visitors and ghastly ghoulish sights.

This moving, sometimes humorous, and illuminating account of a family vacation spent retracing the path of the Oregon pioneers brings to life the emigrant ghosts and sometimes tragic tales of those seeking a better life and in the process made America.

Colorado enjoys a rich, vibrant, and sometimes spooky history. Going strait to the source, the author collects these rich legends of fortune seekers and settlers unprepared for what awaited them in the ranges of the Rocky Mountains and desolate plains.

A collection of lively, well-researched biographies that re-examine and illuminate the mythic lives of some of the most famous—and infamous—characters of the Old West.

The Uinta Mountains of northeastern Utah are the most prominent east/west range in the continental United States. Through the folding of the earth’s crust to fl ooding by ocean water to glacial erosion, this is the fascinating tale of how the range was formed.

The most famous guns in the West and the history behind them. Richly illustrated throughout and master-fully written. You won’t be able to put it down!
