VACCINE CHANGES ANNOUNCED

15 townhomes proposed for Stansbury’s Millpond PlazaTIM GILLIEEDITOR

The Tooele County Planning Commission looked at a request for more townhomes in Stansbury Park during their meeting on Wednesday night.

Derald Anderson, Tooele County resident, submitted a request to rezone 1.09 acres in the southwest corner of the Millpond Plaza from commer-cial shopping to multiple resi-dential with a maximum of 15 dwelling units per acre.

If the rezone is approved, Anderson said he plans to build 12 to 15 townhomes on the property. If it isn’t approved, Anderson said he would pursue an extended stay hotel on the property, which is a conditional use under the current zoning.

Ultimately after holding a public hearing and also hear-ing from Anderson and the current property owner, the planning commission decided to table voting on the request until their March 17 meeting.

“I think you’re headed in the right direction,” said Scott Jacobs, planning commission chairman. “But planning staff needs time to do some research on the property including previous zoning and the cre-ation of a P.U.D. (planned unit development).”

Anderson told the planning commission that the plaza area is not a viable commercial area.

“This piece of property has

Time for Tooele City businesses to renew their city licenseCEILLY SUTTONSTAFF WRITER

Tooele City business license applications are overdue, a city official warns.

Every business in Tooele City is required to obtain a business license, according to Shilo Baker, with Tooele City.

Tooele City charges $40 for the license plus $3 per employ-ee, but additional fees may be applicable.

Anyone offering a service from their home, for compen-sation, requires a Tooele City Business License. This includes contractors even though they may be licensed by the State.

“There are additional fees

depending on whether the business requires a grease or interceptor trap, such as res-taurants, bakeries, and auto mechanic shops,” said Baker. “These traps could cost an additional $35 or $70 depend-ing on what is required for their business. Also, if the business serves or sells alco-hol, there is a $200 fee for the first year and $100 annual fee every year thereafter, as well as licensure requirements through the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.”

A new business can apply for a business license any time

Tooele City Council looks at annexation on Droubay Road

CEILLY SUTTONSTAFF WRITER

The Tooele City Council looked at annexing a large amount of property on the city’s southeast end during their meeting on Wednesday evening.

The applicant for the annex-ation told members of the city council that there was enough water for a subdivision and that he would like to build on the property.

Jim Bolser, Tooele City com-munity development director

presented the annexation request from the property owner, Howard Schmidt.

The property includes 61 acres on the east side of Droubay Road at approximate-ly 800 North.

During the meeting, Bolser explained that in fall of 2020, the city council amended the area to be included in the city’s

annexation policy plan, but that didn’t automatically annex the property.

“This simply allows the con-versation and an application to come forward for consid-eration,” said Bolser speak-ing about the property and Schmidt’s application.

The properties adjacent to the 61 acres are zoned for

medium density residential, primarily R1-7 residential, according to Bolser.

“The initial identification from the applicant suggests the desired zoning to match that at R1-7,” he said.

Schmidt submitted a site plan to the city council for a large subdivision called Canyon Springs he plans to

build on the property.His site plan included 240

lots with varying square foot-age, but the plans have not been finalized.

Bolser explained that there will be many steps in order to annex the property.

The annexation request is

After brisk December sales, home sales in Tooele County for 2020 still ended up behind 2019.

The number of closed sales for homes in December 2020 was up 32.1% from December 2019, according to data from the Utah Association of Realtors, but the year end total of home sales in the county was down by 1.1%.

“The December sales includ-ed a lot of homes from previ-ous months that cleared at the end of the year,” said Chris Sloan, broker with Group1 Real Estate in Tooele.

With the way COVID-19 affected the market, closing the year at about the same as last year was a good accom-plishment, according to Sloan.

“Things were shut down for a while,” he said. “COVID-19 hit in March which is usually one of our peaks of sales.”

Earlier in the year, local real estate professionals said sales were down due a shortage of supply of homes to sell, not a lack of prospective buyers.

Sloan said that is still the case, and probably will be for

Couple’s quest to preserve Tooele County’s historical buildingsMARK WATSONCORRESPONDENT

On a Friday morning as Albert Bottema drives through Tooele, Pine Canyon, Erda, Lake Point, Tooele and Grantsville, he points to old homes and buildings and provides brief histories of the structures for his passenger. At times he appears frustrated when he doesn’t know more about a particular building.

His quest is to take photo-graphs and document histori-cal buildings in Tooele County and beyond before they are destroyed to provide space for new housing developments.

“I’ve always had an interest in the history of Tooele and think it would be good if we could publish a book with pho-tographs about Tooele’s historic features similar to the book Grantsville has about their his-toric homes,” Bottema said.

Everywhere Albert and his wife Dorothy travel they love to delve into the area’s history and try to spot historical struc-tures. Albert is a member of the Tooele chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers, and Dorothy is the director of the Tooele Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum on Vine Street.

“I’ve been able to go to most spots in the county and take photographs to save those images for posterity. Pandemic restrictions have made that easier for us to do. I wish I had taken more pictures during the 46 years I worked for the school district, but it was more dif-ficult and expensive back then when you had to use film. It’s easier now and less expensive with digital cameras,” Bottema

said.When the Bottemas travel

they look at the National Register of Historic Places and make sure to find those sites.

“I developed a love for Ibapah and the Deep Creek area when I started working with the school district. We rented a home out there for 10 years and had a lot of fun with the family. Same thing with my church calling in Rush Valley. I learned about the history of the area,” he said.

The settlement was original-ly named Johnson’s Settlement for Luke S. Johnson, an early settler.

“I have been trying to find old pictures about Tooele schools and old homes. There is a ton of history and it’s not just Church history. Tooele has a rich history with mining and railroads. There possibly are people who are still alive who remember back to the early 1900s and remember these

places. I just want to preserve the history before it’s all gone. I’d like to know when the build-ings were originally built and who built them,” Bottema said.

He indicated how the military has impacted Tooele County with the Tooele Army Depot, Dugway, Deseret Chemical and Wendover.

“How many know that the Enola Gay B-29 flew out of Wendover during World War II, and 20,000 people lived in Wendover for a time,” Bottema said.

He also mentioned Danger Cave State Park near Wendover which is well-known for having been occupied by humans going back at least 11,000 years.

“We’re also looking for help and hoping we can find photographs and information about places that already have disappeared. I just feel like we need to preserve our heritage,” Bottema [email protected]

Bill limiting public access to mug shots passes Utah SenateSALT LAKE CITY (AP) —

The Utah Senate has unani-mously voted in favor of a bill that would ban police from releasing mug shots until a person has been convicted of a crime.

The measure that passed Wednesday after being pro-posed by GOP Rep. Keven Stratton aims to make mug shots a private record to limit their impact on people’s lives

— especially for those who are falsely accused or never found guilty.

The bill would allow the photos to be released if a sus-pect is an “imminent threat” or a wanted fugitive. Florida, Delaware and North Dakota introduced similar measures this year after Illinois passed one in 2020.

Criminal justice reformers say the use of mug shots per-

petuates an unfair association between people of color — who historically are arrested at higher rates — and crime.

But some members of the news media, which often fights for access to public records, have opposed the effort, argu-ing that the photos can serve as a check on law enforcement and the decision to publish mug shots should be left to news outlets.

The Utah bill needs one final procedural vote in the Senate before moving to the gover-nor’s desk.

The Associated Press is a

member of the Utah Media Coalition, which has raised objections to the mug shot proposal.

Ladies Community Club of Tooele serve communityNew members welcomeCEILLY SUTTONSTAFF WRITER

The Ladies Community Club of Tooele just completed a project gathering clothing and hygiene items for homeless and low-economic youth in Tooele County.

In January, the club placed donation boxes in businesses throughout Tooele County hop-ing to receive donations items of shoes, coats, hoodies, t-shirts, pants, and hygiene products for these youth.

The club also put out a wish list on Amazon where they received donations.

Club members picked up donations on Feb. 26 from the 11 Tooele businesses where donation boxes were located.

The club ended up with around 700 items.

“We greatly appreciate these donations from the commu-nity,” said Stacey Bice, president of the club.

The Ladies Community Club of Tooele, founded in April 2015, has also completed many other service projects for the community.

Over the Christmas holiday, the club worked on their “Adopt a Senior Citizen” program on Facebook where members of the community could nominate a senior who needed some extra love because of isolation related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the program, individu-als could “adopt” a senior citi-zen, find out their interests and likes, and put together a basket of items for them to complete a no-contact delivery.

“The adopt a senior program was phenomenal,” said Bice.

Last year they also hosted a yard sale.

“The yard sale turned out really well last year,” said Bice.

The club usually completes many more service projects and fundraisers through the year but because of the pandemic, it has been hard, according to Bice.

In March the club plans to make baby blankets for new-born babies that are born at Mountain West Medical Center.

“The lady from the hospital that we spoke to said that you would be really surprised how many parents come with abso-lutely nothing. So, we are doing this project,” said Bice.

The club has set a goal to make 40 blankets for the new-borns.

They are collecting fabric donations, such as flannel, guilt batting, and yarn.

In order to keep the club run-ning, the members host fund-raisers a few times a year.

“All of the money from our fundraisers essentially goes out to help the community,” said Bice.

Currently, they are collect-ing toys and candy to fill Easter

eggs.Members of the community

will be able to purchase the eggs for Easter and for an addi-tional charge, members of the club will hide the eggs.

Each of the club members enjoy helping the community in different ways.

“Everyone has their own favorite things that are impor-tant for them,” said Bice. “Not everyone is interested in the same thing and that’s what makes us a great group. What any lady is interested in, I guar-antee we can match them up with someone else who is inter-ested in the same thing.”

To view the community club’s projects and fundraisers, mem-bers of the public can visit their Facebook page.

Mary Lou-Beck who has been a member of the club for four years said she enjoys helping children.

“Anything that involves the children is a favorite for me,” she said. “That’s very impor-tant. It makes you feel good that you can do something for some-one else.”

“We really just want to get down to the grassroots level of helping our community,” Bice stated. “We want to just roll up our sleeves and jump in the trenches. Whatever that means our ladies are willing to do that.”

Currently, the club has 29 members.

They are meeting on zoom right now, because of the pan-demic, but sometimes the club meets at the Tooele City Hall.

Any woman over the aged 18 and older can join the club.

“We would welcome any woman who wants to come and help us out and want to be a part of a fun tribe group,” said Bice.

To sign up to be involved

in the club or to donate to the blanket project, please call Stacey at 435-830-7282 or email her at [email protected]@tooeletranscript.com

DMV announces online servicesSalt Lake City, Utah –

Utah’s Division of Motor Vehicles recently announced new online customer services.

“We are excited to offer ways to serve the public more efficiently,” said DMV Director Monte Roberts said. “It’s how they are continuing to evolve.”

The Utah Person to Person — UPP — service allows an individual the opportunity to start the process for a new title and registration transac-tion online.

“If you are a Utah resident and have newly purchased a

vehicle with a current Utah title, you may be eligible to title, register and print a temporary permit using this service,” said Roberts.

There are a few require-ments to use this new ser-vice; the vehicle must have a current Utah title, the new owner must have a driver’s license number — or in the case of a business, a Federal Identification Number, the required questions must be answered, images of own-ership documents must be uploaded, and payment of fees is made by credit/debit

card or e-check.To complete the title, reg-

istration and receive plates, new owners may choose to mail the original documents to the DMV or take them to their local DMV office — in Tooele County that’s at the County Treasurer’s Office in the County Building at 47 S. Main Street in Tooele City.

For more detailed infor-mation, or to use the UPP service, please visit dmv.utah.gov and select Motor Vehicle E-Services, or go directly to the Motor Vehicle Online Portal at mvp.tax.utah.gov.

Updated Dixie State name change bill advances in Utah Senate

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A push to change Dixie State University’s name advanced Monday in the GOP-dominated Utah Senate after students ral-lied at the Capitol last week and urged lawmakers to revive a stalled plan to change the name.

A new version of the legis-lation was released during a Senate Education Committee meeting that would open the possibility of the Dixie name to remain and give the com-munity more input on the name change process. Senate Republicans agreed last week to hear the legislation after appearing to stall the bill after it passed the House.

The amended bill calls for a heritage committee to be formed if the university’s board of trustees recommends a name change to help preserve the region’s history on campus, said bill sponsor Rep. Kelly Miles.

Sen. Don Ipson, the updated bill’s floor sponsor, said law-makers had reached a con-sensus after receiving input from students and community members.

“With the substitution and removing the name Dixie from the bill, it now enables com-munity input, which will pre-serve the heritage of our great community,” Ipson wrote in a statement.

The bill will now advance to the Senate floor. If it passes and is signed by the governor, the university and state board of higher education would be required to bring a new name recommendation back to the Legislature next fall.

Dixie State faced scrutiny in the past over its name but resisted changing it. The area was nicknamed Dixie, a refer-ence to Southern states, when settlers with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, many of them from the South, tried to make it a cotton-growing mecca in the 1800s.

Supporters say the name is important to the area’s heri-tage and is separate from the history of slavery. But efforts across the U.S. to remove monuments, names and other Confederate symbols have intensified during the nation’s reckoning over racial injustice.

“A lot of people use the term without understanding the racial origin,” Jeanetta Williams, president of the NAACP’s Salt Lake chapter said during the hearing. “It is time to retire the name Dixie... with another name that does not reflect the Confederacy.”

Dixie State has taken other steps in recent years to remove Confederate imagery. In 2009, the school’s nickname was changed from the Rebels to Red Storm. A statue depicting a soldier on horseback wav-ing a Confederate flag with one hand and reaching out to a wounded soldier with the other was removed in 2012.

Delivering the News in Tooele County for More Than 120 Years


What I’ve learned about people’s passion about growth in Tooele CountyOver the past couple months

as an intern writing for the Tooele Transcript Bulletin, I have learned a great deal about the people in Tooele County and how they feel about hot button issues that seem to be imminent and rapidly develop-ing. Namely, those relating to the growth and development of the county’s population.

In most of my articles, the focal points generally revolve around construction projects, housing developments and other indications of an influx of new residents to the area. Some opinions I’ve heard from people who embrace the changes, some reluctantly so, but most locals seem to be wary of change — especially when they feel it will impose on their lifestyle.

As someone who grew up

in the suburbs of Phoenix’s massive metropolis, I always met growth with a bit of excite-ment. Whether it was a three-

story library, or a minor league baseball stadium, the prospect of new things to do and places to go were welcomed additions. So the concept of an urban sprawl didn’t bother me.

Throughout my adolescence, I never understood the appeal of living in small towns, even though I ended up residing in my fair share of them. It seemed most small towns had

many dirt roads that easily turned to mud, sidewalks were rarity and the air, in certain places, smelled like cow and horse feces.

However, for those who were born and raised in small, rural areas such as Tooele County, these elements are more preferable to the smog and congestion of big cities. Country life has a certain idyl-lic sense of freedom — some-thing with which they would never want to part.

My experiences with small towns were fleeting moments in time, interrupted by my frequent wanderlust that led me to nearly all corners of the United States. Meanwhile, all I was longing for was a bigger town in which to live.

Then I found myself living in Taylorsville, Utah.

After I got married in 2013, my wife and I moved into our first apartment in Taylorsville and, at first, we loved the loca-tion. We had shopping centers down the road from us, a Best Buy less than 15 minutes away

— a must for me — and Salt Lake City was just as close.

Despite all these amenities, things became nerve-racking as the crime level seemed to be too frequent and too close to our home. Any time we flipped on the news, a new report of a stabbing in Taylorsville hap-pened seemingly every day. Once, my wife came to me in a panic after watching a story about someone being stabbed just down the road from us.

We had had enough, so Tooele became our landing spot.

Since I’ve moved back, my writing has changed immensely and the people I reach out to are more passionate than anyone I’ve ever met in larger cities.

Whether I’m covering a high-way project, or a rezoning that has the potential to add more housing, residents have shown a commitment to retaining the landscape they’ve known for their entire existence.

This passion doesn’t stop with the lifetime residents

either. Plenty of transplants from the Wasatch Valley and beyond profess a love for the rural life and feel just as threat-ened by extreme growth as everyone else.

It’s apparent that the want for a plot of land with multiple acres is in demand like never before, but there’s evidence it might not be as realistic as it was just a few years back.

Additionally, in my experi-ences speaking to local leaders, there is an understanding of this anxiety and a sympa-thy towards those who feel apprehension. Both mayors in Grantsville and Tooele have lived in their respective towns for many years, but recognize the inevitability of expansion. In light of this, the leadership is promoting responsible growth that accommodates new residents while respecting the space many have held dear.

A prime example of this was the conundrum surrounding a potential temple and housing development in Erda. Erdans worried that such an install-

ment would bring smaller lots that were incompatible with Erda’s lifestyle and traffic the location isn’t yet prepared for. In addition to A group of Erda residents filed a referendum that challenged the higher den-sity development adjacent to the temple property.

Eventually The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints agreed to withdraw their plan and moved the temple to a more manageable area in Tooele.

I’ve learned that the history and heritage in Tooele County is abundant and the stories that go along with it is invaluable. Personally, I may not ever be able to shake the “city slicker” mindset, but my appreciation for the rural side of town has grown.

Ultimately no one is resistant to change, but there is a desire for compromise and enshrining a location which provides the lifestyle frontiersmen and pio-neers carved out over a century ago.

In 1946, protest prompts Tooele City Council to deny license for beer jointThe Tooele Transcript

Bulletin has published Tooele County news since 1894. Here is a flashback of local front-page news from 25, 50, 75 and 100 years ago that occurred during the first week of March.

March 5-7, 1996Critics of Tooele County’s

chemical weapons incinera-tion plant turned up the heat by going to the nation’s capi-tal in an effort to drum up opposition to the project in Congress.

Among them was a Lehi “whistleblower” fired from the Rush Valley plant in 1994 and environmentalists from around the country, who warned that the facility does not have adequate safeguards to protect nearby populations.

At a Capitol Hill press con-

ference, the critics warned that an explosion at the plant could send out of the smoke-stack a potent nerve gas called VX that could travel as far as 40 miles and land on Tooele or Provo, depending on the direction of the wind.

Later in the week, Senator George Mantes (D-Tooele) said he was concerned for the people of Wendover, Utah in regards to education and the accessibility to health care. He arranged for a public meeting in the community.

“I’m happy about the meet-ing and think the fact that it has been arranged shows that someone might be concerned about us,” Wendover Mayor Brenda Morgan said.

Mantes said he did not want the meeting to turn into a gripe session. “We will be in Wendover to get a feel of what people there want,” Mantes said.

March 2-5, 1971With a moisture total of

more than 3 ½ inches higher than the longtime average, Tooele was in the midst of what possibly could be its wettest year since 1910.

For years folks talked about the winter of ‘49 or ‘33. Well, now they can begin to talk about the winter of ‘71.

For the weather year moisture total stood at 10.69

inches as compared with 7.08 inches which was the average for the year through April.

“As far as I can tell this is our wettest year on record,” said weather observer Burdett Bevan.

Later in the week, for-mer Tooele County Sheriff Faye Gillette was named an “Honorary Brave” in the Goshute Indian tribe at a cer-emony at Ibapah on the after-noon of Feb. 27.

Following the honor Mr. Gillette received from the Goshute tribe he was award-ed a special plaque by Mayor John Susich of Wendover, commending him for his ser-vice to the community.

March 5-8, 1946Expansion of beer joints

into the residential section of Tooele had aroused the citi-

zens to a fighting pitch.Residents in the vicinity of

First East and Vine Street met with the Tooele City Council and protested the granting of a license to operate a beer establishment at 95 East Vine Street.

The City Council, after hearing the protests of the residents, denied the granting of the license.

Later in the week, George H. Nix, 93, and Tooele pio-neer of 1855, died at the fam-ily home in Coalville, where funeral services would be held.

Mr. Nix for a number of years was employed by Utah Copper Company as a checker on the Tooele Bingham Tunnel in Middle Canyon, and was a frequent visitor to Tooele until he retired in 1940 when he moved to

Coalville.

March 4, 1921Tooele planned to cel-

ebrate the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth, Mass. 300 years earlier with its own Pilgrims Pageant during the month of May.

The pageant would pro-vide a living picture of those momentous days, when for the sake of ideals and reli-gious views, a band of men and women united in spirit and purpose voted to leave their native land, separate from their mother religion, leave their established homes, forsake friends and seek out a place where toleration and freedom would be assured them.

Correspondent Mark Watson compiled this report.

OUT & ABOUT

Scott FroehlichINTERN STAFF WRITER

Coping with relationship fatigueToo much time together

makes for tense moments. Cutting each other some slack and setting ground rules will help.

There’s such a thing as too much togetherness at home, no matter if you’re with a romantic partner, an adult child, a grandchild, or a friend. “Because of the pandemic, we’re frozen in place with people, but we aren’t meant to be in the same space all day long,” says Dr. Robert Waldinger, a psychia-trist with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

Keeping the peace starts with understanding why you may be getting on each other’s nerves. Then you can try fol-lowing a few rules to get along better.

Tension buildersMany factors may be con-

tributing to the tension you’re experiencing.

Stress. “We’re all under an enormous amount of stress, the result of the pandemic as well as the political and social climate in the United States. It’s scary, and the anxiety is affecting relationships. We’re all sadder or more anxious and on edge than usual,” Dr. Waldinger explains.

Close quarters. The limits of your home’s footprint -- even a large one -- can be frustrating. “It may not feel like enough space. And some people are living together in just a few rooms. You need space to get a break from each other,” Dr. Waldinger says.

Isolation. We’re wired to be social animals; it is very upset-ting not to see friends and family you’re used to seeing.

Generational differences. If you’re living with adult children and their kids, you may find it hard to understand their behavior. “Adult children may be bossing you around. And I hear a lot of people say-ing they’re annoyed with teen-agers whining about not see-

ing friends even though people are dying in the pandemic,” Dr. Waldinger says.

Steps to get alongYou can use a number of

approaches to ease the ten-sions at home.

Cut each other some slack. “When someone snaps at you, take a breath and remember that they, like you, are under more stress than usual,” Dr. Waldinger advises.

Balance closeness with dis-tance. Find a place where you can take time away, whether it’s your own little corner, another room, or a safe loca-tion outside the home.

Set up boundaries. Agree to the times you can be together and times when you can be apart. “Maybe come together for lunch and dinner, but go your separate ways in between,” Dr. Waldinger sug-gests.

Be sensitive to generational differences. “Adult children may be telling you what to do because they’re worried about your safety,” Dr. Waldinger explains. “And remember the developmental task of teens is finding out who they are through friendships and romances. For many teens, being able to be with friends can seem more important than the dangers of an infection.”

Let go of expectations. “If we get annoyed with each other, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with the relationship. That’s when cutting each other some slack is really important,” Dr. Waldinger says. “And remem-ber, nobody is happy all the time, and that’s not a problem. Sometimes you’ll be gloomy. It’s okay.”

Improve communication. Use “I” phrases. “Find ways to communicate that don’t accuse or find fault with oth-ers. Simply lay out a problem and ask for help solving it,” Dr. Waldinger says. “For example, if it bugs you that dirty dishes are there long after someone

promised to wash them, say ‘I’m in a bind. I don’t know whether you’re going to do them or if I should go ahead and clean up.’ That leads to better results than saying ‘You’re lazy’ or ‘You’re doing this to me.’”

Talk about what’s bothering you. When one person gets annoyed because the other did something trivial, like leav-ing the toothpaste cap off the tube, it’s really just the tip of the iceberg. “The iceberg may be an unspoken feeling that you’re not heard when you ask someone to do things or that the other person doesn’t care,” Dr. Waldinger explains. “When you can talk about the bigger concerns, you have the chance to talk about what’s really important.”

Get some perspective. You have the wisdom to know life can be short. “That can put things into perspective. Do you really want to argue about who’s doing the dishes? Is it worth getting angry?” Dr. Waldinger asks.

Important payoffsGood relationships are

worth the effort. For starters, they’re good for your health. “They ease the stress that gets translated into body processes like chronic inflammation, which can affect the cardio-vascular system, joints, and brain,” says Dr. Waldinger.

And in the big picture, rela-tionships will get us through these trying times, something Dr. Waldinger has learned as the director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development (an ongoing study that’s fol-lowed hundreds of men and their families since 1938). “When we look back at how people got through the crisis of World War II, people uni-formly said the key was their relationships. That’s some-thing we should think about today.”

OBITUARIES

Nabor B. MedinaNabor (Navor) Beningno Medina passed away March 1, 2021, peacefully at his home.

He will be greatly missed by his family and all his many friends.

Nabor was born Sept. 13, 1932, in Alamosa, Colorado, to Guillermo and Gertrudes “Gertrude” Mondragon Medina. He grew up in Taos, New Mexico, and was the fourth child of the 11 brothers and sisters. This family was very close, and had a loving and caring relationship for each other throughout their entire lives.

Nabor married Erlinda Suazo in Taos, New Mexico, and together moved to Tooele, Utah, in 1948. They had four wonderful children: Velma, Herbert, James, Anne — who were their parent’s delight.

Nabor has been a Tooele resident for over 70 years and showed a positive, happy influ-ence in his community.

Nabor later married Barbara Lansdowne who sadly passed away. Nabor then met a light in his life, Ethel Bourget, and together enjoyed life at the fullest, laughing, traveling,

dining out and being with fam-ily and friends.

Nabor worked at the Tooele Army Depot as an ammunition specialist for over 40 years when he retired. He had a “blast.” He was respected by his peers for his cheerful atti-tude and great work ethic.

Nabor was very dedicated to his Catholic religion and com-munity. He lived the gospel of Christ in his actions. Nabor was a long-time member of the Knights of Columbus and held the position of Grand Knight in the Tooele chapter. He donated his talents and love to the Tooele community for many years. You would find Nabor with his church family helping with neighbors, friends, the

city’s annual picnics, arrang-ing bus trips to Wendover, and fund raising for any charity that was in need. Nabor was full of compassion and gener-osity.

Nabor enjoyed singing, play-ing the guitar and would sing whenever he had the oppor-tunity. He delighted in being with others, fishing, hunting and bowling, and was a “600 Series” bowling master. He cheered on the Utah Jazz and Denver Broncos in every game. But most of all, he loved every-one and was admired by his family and many friends. He looked forward going out to having breakfast donuts with his brothers, Gene and Richard every morning.

He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings Claudia, Maria, Ida, Roy and Willie; his son Herbert; and son-in-law Woody Gober. Along with Erlinda, Barbara and Ethel.

He is survived by his children: Velma Medina Gober, James (Carolyn) Medina, Anne Medina, with Norman and Ella Bourget, Renee and Chris Hauser; his brothers, Gene and Richard Medina; including 12 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. He loved and cherished them all.

We give a warm thank you and appreciation for all those who helped and supported him with their many acts of kindness and visits. Nabor always appreciated these visits. And appreciation for his car-ing nurse Lucilla and for his daughters Anne and Velma, who also helped to encourage and care for him. And mostly, a thank you to his brother Gene for his tender care, concern and love towards Nabor.

Funeral services will be held Monday, March 8 at 11:30 a.m., at St. Marguerite Church, 510 E. Vine St., Tooele, Utah. Rosary is at 10:45 a.m.

Interment will be in Tooele City Cemetery immediately following. All are welcome to attend.

A celebration party in honor of Nabors’ life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in Nabor’s remem-brance to support the compas-sionate works to St. Marguerite Catholic Church in Tooele, Utah.

Online condolences are avail-able at Didericksen Memorial, Grantsville, Utah

Col. James V. Sullivan, USAF ret.

1937 – 2021

Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend died of acute myeloid leukemia March 1, 2021.

Jim was born in Wheeler, Montana, June 27, 1937, to James Henry Sullivan and Celia Maxine Prine Sullivan. He grew up as a farm boy in Montana with his sisters and cousins with whom he remained close to throughout his life. The family moved to Riverdale, North Dakota, where his father worked as a crane operator during the building of the Garrison Dam on the Missouri River. Jim graduated from Riverdale High School in 1955 and enlisted in the USAF.

Following basic training, he was stationed at the radar site atop Mt. Tamalpais near Mill Valley, California. In 1959 he was accepted into the aviation cadet program and graduated in the class of 60-D. The first airplane he ever flew was a jet. That was the beginning of an incredible Air Force career. Jim spent four years in the F-100. In 1963 while stationed with the 48th fighter wing at

Lakenheath AFB in England he married Margaret Smith and together for 13 years, raised their daughters Sharleen and Diane. Jim had even more hours in the F-105D which he flew during his first tour in Vietnam. He was shot down Dec. 12, 1965, on a mission over North Vietnam but was rescued and flying again three days later. Jim flew a second tour in the F-4, and a third Vietnam tour in the SR-71.

Sept. 1, 1974, Jim set the world air speed record flying the SR-71 from New York to London in 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds along with his reconnaissance systems officer Noel Widdifield. Jim retired from the Air Force on Jan. 1, 1985. In 1990 he mar-ried Nancy Hamilton, his love,

whom he met years earlier in Japan and together they raised son Jeff and daughter Katie.

Jim is survived by his wife Nancy; daughters Sharleen (Tim) Smith, Diane Deatherage, Katie (Nate) Scholz; son Jeff Bolland; sis-ter Vonda (Jerry) Downard; grandchildren Haley (Beau) Leal, Carlisle Caponera, Cameron Deatherage, Derek Deatherage, Liam Scholz, and Remy Scholz; great-grandchildren Landrie and Lincoln Leal,; cousin Naida Granmo and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by parents, sisters Rena Griffin and Karen Anderson, and great-grandson Eligh James.

A public viewing will be held Friday, March 5 at Tate Mortuary in Tooele, Utah, from 6 to 8 p.m. A private family service will be held Saturday, March 6. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all gatherings require masks and social distancing.

We are grateful for the extraordinary care provided by Dr. Osman and staff at the Huntsman Cancer Clinic and Hospital BMT, Hematology, and ICU Units. In lieu of flow-ers, we ask that donations be sent to the Huntsman Cancer Research Institute in Salk Lake City, Utah.

Sports

A look back at the winter that wasNormally, with the spring

sports season set to begin on Monday, I would be using this space to talk about how excited I am to watch some baseball, softball, soccer, ten-nis, track and golf over the next few months as the weath-er warms up again.

However, since the rug got pulled out from under our student-athletes just a couple weeks into last spring, I hope I can be forgiven for being cautiously optimistic at best. Here’s hoping that we don’t ever have to go through some-thing like that again.

But instead of getting myself all excited just yet — there will, no doubt, be time for that — let’s look back on the season we just finished. And, what a season it was.

This was the first year that the Utah High School

Activities Association has sponsored girls wrestling as its own sport, with its own state tournament. If this inaugural season taught us anything, it is that Tooele County is about to become known as a hotbed for talented female grapplers, if it isn’t already.

Four state champions will do that. The names of Veronica Andersen and Lexee Branham will live on in Tooele High wrestling lore forever, as will Jade Garcia and Hannah Broderick at Grantsville High. There’s no doubt that those four left an impression this year that will motivate oth-

ers to give the sport a try, and we’re only scratching the sur-face of what girls wrestling in Tooele County and Utah as a whole will become.

Local boys wrestlers had a memorable winter of their own. Tooele’s Parker Hansen and Stansbury’s Brandon Ploehn each reached the state championship round in Class 4A, while Stansbury set a school record with six placers. Tooele had two placers and Grantsville had three. Like the girls, this season felt like an indication of better things to come.

It felt a little like the end of an era in the swimming pool. Grantsville’s Hadlee Begay capped an incredible high school career by winning state championships in the 500-yard freestyle and 100 butterfly, her seventh and eighth individual

Class 3A titles. She has set such a high standard over the past four years that it’s hard to imagine anyone following in her footsteps — at least for a while. Of course, that’s not to say it can’t happen.

Tooele senior Myra Miller had the unlikeliest run to a state championship with her thrilling win in the Class 4A girls’ 200 individual medley. Everyone likes an underdog story, and Miller’s was most certainly that. According to her seeding, she wasn’t even supposed to make it out of the prelims — and she almost didn’t even make it to the prelims, given some miscom-munication at the state meet. But, she didn’t just survive the prelims — she put herself in the finals, and thaen she put

FROM THE SIDELINESSPORTS WRAP

Local athletes honored for academicsDARREN VAUGHANSPORTS EDITOR

Student-athletes are often recog-nized for their exploits in the swim-ming pool or on the basketball court or wrestling mat, but what they do outside of competition goes unno-ticed most of the time.

However, the Utah High School

Activities Association, with the help of the Deseret News, makes sure the “student” half of the term “student-athlete” receives its due, as well, with the annual Academic All-State awards, handed out to the senior ath-letes across the state who record the highest grade-point averages while contributing to their teams at the

varsity level. A dozen Tooele County student-athletes were so honored fol-lowing the recent conclusion of the swimming, basketball and wrestling seasons by being named to their respective Academic All-State teams.

Grantsville senior Dustin Scott earned Academic All-State honors in Class 3A boys wrestling, while

Jade Garcia was on the Class 3A girls wrestling team. Tooele’s Jaynna Cramer, Vanessa Andersen and Veronica Andersen were honored with spots on the Class 4A girls wres-tling team.

Hillary Cloward represented Grantsville on the Class 3A girls basketball team. Grayson McKeever

was on the Class 3A boys basketball team for Grantsville, while Tooele’s McCade Laughlin and Justin Rogers were among the top students in Class 4A boys basketball.

Grantsville swimmers Ben Smurthwaite and Evan Thomas received Academic All-State recogni-tion on the Class 3A boys swimming team. Stansbury’s Joshua Reynolds was listed on the Class 4A boys swim-ming [email protected]

Tooele’s Rogers completes unforgettable careerPlayer of the Year averaged double-double as a seniorDARREN VAUGHANSPORTS EDITOR

Justin Rogers remembers the nerves he felt the first time he stepped onto the court as a starter for the Tooele boys basketball team.

“The first memory that comes to mind has to be my first game starting as a freshman — just the excitement, the first bucket scored and all that stuff,” he said.

Four years later, it was Rogers who struck fear into others when his name was intro-duced, game after game. That shy, quiet kid turned into a confident leader, and one of Class 4A’s premier big men, to boot.

Now, he’s the Transcript Bulletin’s 2020-21 High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year after an incredible senior season in which he averaged 20.0 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. For his career, he scored 1,416 points in 95 varsity games — an average of 14.9 per game.

“Hard work does not give you a 100%

chance at success, but you have a 0% chance of success without hard work,” Rogers said. “Just because I’ve worked hard doesn’t mean I can expect to have things handed to me, but I definitely can not expect to get things if I don’t work hard.”

After playing more of a complementary role his first two years with the Buffaloes, Rogers asserted himself as one of the state’s best his junior year. He took that to the next level as a senior, leading the team in 3-pointers made (33), assists (60), steals (37) and blocks (31). However, he’s also proud of his contributions as a leader that casual observers might not notice.

“At the end of the day, I think it’s more fun to play basketball when you win,” Rogers said. “I think a big part of winning was that our team needed a leader, so I stepped up and tried to do the best I could to win every

Record-setting White is county’s top girls playerCowboys senior leaves legacy at GHSDARREN VAUGHANSPORTS EDITOR

The Grantsville girls basketball team has steadily raised the bar over the past several seasons, reaching the third day of the state tournament in each of the past four years to solidify its standing as one of Class 3A’s elite programs.

Center Maison White has been a major contributor to that success, rewriting the Cowboys’ record book along the way. The Transcript Bulletin’s 2020-21 High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year finished her illustrious four-year career by leading Grantsville to a third-place finish in the Class 3A state tournament, while setting program records for career points (1,257) and rebounds (819). She also broke Grantsville’s school record for rebounds in a single season with 319.

“It was everything I always wanted it to be, honestly,” White said of her senior year. “I

got to play with all my best friends this year, and not a lot of people get that opportunity. We accomplished what we wanted to and you can’t do better than that.”

White, who averaged 17.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game and shot 169-of-308 (54.8%) from the field during her senior sea-son, has grown accustomed to winning during her time at Grantsville High. She was a mem-ber of state-championship softball teams in 2018 and 2019, while she has also helped the volleyball team show steady improvement.

“Grantsville girls sports in general — we’re not really used to losing,” White said. “We’re a very high-caliber program, and that’s just what we’re used to. We all play together. The volleyball team, after that season’s done, we grab our basketball bag and the next day, we’re on the court. After basketball, we grab our softball or track stuff and we go together

herself on the top step of the medal stand.

It was an incredible sea-son on the basketball courts of Tooele County, as well. Grantsville’s boys and girls each finished third in Class 3A, continuing a recent run of excellence for the Cowboys. The girls have reached the third day of the state tourna-ment in each of the past four seasons, while the boys have made it that far three times in four years under the tutelage of three different head coaches (Bryan Detweiler in 2018, Stace Riding in 2020 and Nate Austin this year). While both teams will have some major pieces to replace, it wouldn’t shock anyone to see them right back at the top again in 2021-22.

Tooele’s boys and girls each made appearances in Class 4A’s second round. The THS girls used a suffocating defense, along with the leader-ship of seniors Aysha Lewis,

Madi Baker and Emma Higley, to finish second in Region 10, while Justin Rogers powered the boys with dominant efforts on the court and strong lead-ership off of it.

Over at Stansbury, ridicu-lous depth led the boys team to the second round of the state tournament, with the promise of more to come with the likes of Landen Giles, Logan Richins and Bridger Thomas set to return next season. The girls endured a challenging season, but they gained valuable experience and their own trio of Epa Tia, Ainsley Thurber and Sarah Gatluak will all be back next year.

So, that closes the book on the winter of 2020-21. Let’s hope the spring season brings us even more memories in the weeks and months to come.

single game. It’s definitely fun to score a lot of points or to get the double-double each night, but I feel it’s more important to let your teammates know that you have their back — no matter what happens, they can trust you and that you’re going to do whatever it takes to win.”

Rogers headlines a loaded Transcript Bulletin All-County boys basketball team for

2020-21. Nine of the county’s top players would make for a formidable squad, particularly given the Tooele and Stansbury each reached the second round of the Class 4A state tourna-ment and Grantsville finished third in Class 3A.

In fact, it was nearly impos-sible to narrow it down to just nine players. A team made up of those who just missed this list would be a tough out in its own right. But, in any case, here’s one person’s idea of what an all-Tooele County team might look like.

First TeamCarter Killian, G, Jr.,

Grantsville — Killian was as efficient as they come this past season, averaging 10.7 points per game on 57.3% shooting from the field to go with 4.0 rebounds, 4.8 steals and 2.1 steals.

Landen Giles, G, Jr., Stansbury — When Giles got going, the Stallions were hard to stop. He led Stansbury with 13.4 points per game and hit a team-high 49 3-pointers while also finishing second on the team in assists.

Julian Mahoe, F, Jr., Tooele — Mahoe averaged 9.3 points per game as the Buffaloes’ second-leading scorer, and his 4.3 rebounds per game also ranked second on the Tooele roster.

David Spaulding, F, Sr., Stansbury — Spaulding borough heart and effort to the floor every night for the Stallions, and it showed in the stats. He scored 7.8 points per game and was the team’s second-leading rebounder at 6.0 per contest.

Davin Ekins, C, Sr.,

Grantsville — Ekins was the leading scorer for Class 3A’s third-place team, averaging 15.2 points per contest while shooting just under 70% from the field. He also grabbed 8.6 rebounds per game and blocked 26 shots in 21 games.

ReservesLogan Richins, G/F, Jr.,

Stansbury — Richins did a little bit of everything for the Stallions as their second-leading scorer (11.5 ppg) and top rebounder (8.3 rpg), while also providing 1.5 steals per

game.Tuhker Mulford, G/F, Sr.,

Grantsville — One of the state’s deadliest shooters from long range, Mulford averaged 12.3 points per game while shooting 64-of-137 (46.7%) from beyond the 3-point arc.

McCade Laughlin, G/F, Sr., Tooele — Laughlin ranked third on the Buffs in scoring (4.4 ppg) and third in 3-point-ers made with 18. He also set a good example off the court, joining Rogers on the Class 4A Academic All-State [email protected]

and do that next thing. I think the reaso we’re so successful is because of the relationships we have with each other.”

She hopes to carry over that winning mentality to the next level, where she will compete at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs beginning next season.

“I’ve had coaches that have pushed me and they’ve set the bar really high,” White said.

“My potential and anyone else’s potential is limitless, and that was our motto this year. Being a part of a very success-ful program has set me up so I know what to look forward to at the next level.”

White leads a solid group of nine players on the Transcript Bulletin’s All-County team fro the 2020-21 season. These nine girls would make for a talented all-around squad, whether it’s perimeter shoot-ing, post play or lockdown defense. Narrowing things down to just nine players was a difficult task, but the standouts

were hard to miss.

First TeamKenzie Allen, G,

Grantsville, So. — Allen became one of the Cowboys’ most well-rounded players in her first year as a starter, aver-aging 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 4.1 steals per game.

Madi Baker, G, Tooele, Sr. — After missing her entire junior season with a foot injury, Baker returned to the Buffaloes’ lineup and was a much-welcomed addition. Her 6.5 points per game and 23

3-pointers made were crucial to Tooele’s success.

Aysha Lewis, G/F, Tooele, Sr. — Lewis led the Buffaloes with 9.6 points per game, including a team-high 27 3-pointers made. The 2018-19 White-Kimber Award winner helped Tooele get hot down the stretch to earn a first-round bye.

Ainsley Thurber, F, Stansbury, Jr. — Thurber was one of just two Stallions to play in every game this season, ranking third on the team at 8.6 points per game to go with 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

She also hit a team-high 34 3-pointers.

Epa Tia, F, Stansbury, Jr. — Tia was unstoppable at times, averaging 12.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Even foul-ing her didn’t slow her down, as she shot 77.2% (71-of-92) from the free-throw line.

ReservesEmily Backus, G,

Grantsville, Jr. — Backus might be the best sixth-woman option in Class 3A. In her first season with the Cowboys, she averaged 13.8 points per game off the bench and led

Grantsville with 53 3-pointers made.

Emma Higley, G/F, Tooele, Sr. — Higley was a consistent contributor for the Buffaloes, averaging 6.9 points per game to rank second on the team in scoring. She was also Tooele’s third-leading 3-point shooter.

Sarah Gatluak, F, Stansbury, Jr. — Gatluak was Stansbury’s second-leading scorer at 9.2 points per game and shot a team-best 42.8% from the field. She also grabbed 3.8 rebounds per con-test while playing all 22 [email protected]

during the year, according to Baker, but businesses that need to renew their licenses must renew them by Dec. 31.

If a business who needs to renew their license didn’t by Dec 31, there is still hope.

Businesses are still able to renew their licenses now, but for an additional fee.

“If the fee to renew is not paid by January 31, then a penalty letter is sent on February 1,” said Baker. “This fee reflects a 50% penalty fee. We send another letter out on March 1 as a reminder. We do give businesses until March

15 and then we try to contact them to see if their business has closed. If they haven’t closed, we again try to encour-age them to pay their business fee.”

Cooperating with all busi-ness license requirements will save business owners time.

“Please complete your application as completely as possible,” said Baker. “Provide all information required, such as business name, registra-tion, and state tax registration. If inspections are required, please do what they ask as they are making sure that your place of business is safe for both you as the business owner, your employees, and especially the public that comes into your place of busi-

ness.” Tooele City only renews

business licenses for businesses located within the city.

“Please contact the appro-priate jurisdiction,” Baker said. “Many times Stansbury, Lake Point, or Erda residents call Tooele City to ask about licens-ing, which is understandable as we are in the same zip code. However, those unincorpo-rated areas of the county fall under Tooele County for their business licenses. Once you obtain the proper business license from where your busi-ness is based, whether your home or commercial location, you are actually allowed to do business throughout the state as each city is trying to honor each other’s license.

Depending on the type of busi-ness, it is still a good idea to check with the local jurisdic-tion, as they may require cop-ies of your licensure and then give you a license to operate in their city with payment of a nominal fee.”

If a business license is not paid, however, a fine of up to $1000 or imprisonment for 90 days, or both, may occur, according to Baker.

ALL door‐to‐door sales-persons operating in Tooele City must be licensed with the city and carry a city issued ID badge for the current year in plain sight. Badges expired at the end of December 2020 and must be renewed.

If a salesperson appears at a door who is not wearing

a badge, residents can call the Tooele City Recorder’s Office at 435‐843‐2110 or after hours, after 5 p.m. or on weekends, call Tooele County Dispatch at 435‐882‐5600. Please give County Dispatch a complete description of the individual and the direction they are headed.

To renew or apply for a business license, please visit Tooelecity.org or call Lisa Carpenter at 435-843-2110.

Tooele City encourages small businesses.

“Local officials value all of our businesses and we know that small businesses are vital to our local economy,” Baker said. “We strive to be business friendly. People can support small businesses by shopping

local.” Tooele City has a local

resource for small businesses run by the Small Business Development Center at the Tooele Technical College.

“Whether you are just start-ing a business or if you are an established business, this group’s expertise and free services include business plan-ning and counseling, feasibility analysis, financial manage-ment, strategic marketing, and capital investment assistance and training,” said Baker.

been held as commercial for well over two decades and never had anything built on it,” Anderson said. “It’s been for sale for a number of years with nothing being done with the property. We really feel the commercial area of Stansbury has moved away from this location out to more appropri-ate locations.”

There are 70 acres of commercial property in the Stansbury area with 40 acres of that currently developed, according to Anderson.

Margo Huddleston, owner of the property, told the planning commission she had owned the property for 14 years. Huddleston said she has been unsuccessful at selling the property with the commercial zoning.

Scott Totman, owner of the Millpond Spa, spoke in opposi-tion to the rezone during the public hearing.

“This PUD was established before Stansbury Park was developed,” he said. “It is where lots were sold. It is a his-toric site for Stansbury.”

As property and business

owner in the plaza, Totman said he sees no benefit to the community townhomes in the plaza.

“The beginning of Stansbury it was designated as a com-mercial area,” he said. “It was designed to be a business hub and a gateway to recre-ational areas. There’s a park and thena commercial area. It was designed like that for a

reason.”The planning commission

voted unanimously to table Anderson’s request until their March 17 meeting.

currently in the second step — the City Council accepting the petition for further consid-eration.

“This is only a resolution to accept the consideration further,” said Bolser. “This resolution doesn’t approve the annexation. It simply allows the consideration to continue. This is the first significant step in the annexation process.”

After the consideration step, the applicant will have to go through nine more steps in order to annex the property and build there, including a planning commission review, a City Council public hear-ing and ordinance, and the Lieutenant Governor’s certifi-

cation, according to Bolser.The petition will likely be

presented to the City Council and planning commission sev-eral times before the process is finalized, according to Bolser.

“This is an important step this evening in the initial resolution for further consid-eration,” Bolser said.

Bolser said that in the future the council would have to consider the benefits and drawbacks of annexing the large area of land and the sub-division that would be built on it.

This would include sewer capacity, transportation into the property, police and fire services, storm drains, and public safety, among others, he said.

The applicant does have Kennecott water shares that would be used on the prop-

erty, according to Bolser.Bolser told members of

the council that the applicant can probably use the water shares on the property, but the agreement was finalized in 2007 meaning that maybe the shares would only be allowed to be used in areas that were located within city limits in 2007.

Roger Baker, Tooele City attorney said his understand-ing is that the water shares can be used on the property if it is annexed into the city.

Tony Graff, City Council member, asked if there could be an evaluation to measure response times to the area for the fire department and the Tooele City Police Department.

Bolser said that the council could request the evaluation to be included in the annexa-tion process.

Council member Justin Brady said there are too many houses already in Tooele City.

“We keep putting houses in our city,” he said. “It’s just houses. We forget that with houses come children and parks are needed and all sorts of things.”

Brady asked Bolser if the council could require a green space, or a space without homes to be included on the property and Bolser said yes.

“This could be one of the terms stated in the annexation agreement,” said Bolser.

Schmidt approached the podium and gave members of the council some background about the property.

He told members of the council that he purchased the property and put it under con-tract “some time ago.”

“We met with some mem-

bers of the city and asked if it was appropriate to complete the purchase, because we real-ized it needed to be annexed in and my understanding was that if I had water it would be fine,” Schmidt said. “Well, we approached Kennecott and asked them if we could buy water credits and they said they would love to give the water credits. So, we bought water credits with the under-standing and belief that we could use them on this prop-erty. We also recognize that Tooele is in a very challeng-ing position right now… It’s been interesting watching the growth.”

Schmidt said that the council should postpone the annexation agreement for a few weeks or a month, so that he can speak with members of the city.

“We would like to spend a little time and do some stud-ies ourselves and come back a little more prepared if we could,” he said.

Schmidt said that he would like to provide the council with a better site plan and look into adding some green space and perhaps some walk-ing trails.

At the end of the discussion, the city council tabled the annexation petition, depend-ing on how long the applicant needs to do some consider-ation about the property.

Brady said that when he considers bringing more homes into the city, he consid-ers what it brings into the city that makes it better.

“How is this going to benefit our city in a way?” he [email protected]

the foreseeable future.“Utah as a state has an

affordability and supply issue,” he said.

Tooele County is no dif-ferent than the state in those areas, according to Sloan.

Right now there are 22 homes on the market in the county excluding new homes, with new homes the number of listings is 38, he said.

“We have a two weeks sup-ply of homes,” said Sloan. “We usually look at a six month supply as being the tipping point between a buyers and sellers market.”

The shortage of supply has contributed to an increased price for homes in Tooele County, according to Sloan.

In 2019 the median sales price for homes in Tooele County was 279,000. In 2020 the median sales price of a home in the county was $320,000, 14.3% increase.

Statewide the median sales price for 2020 was up 10.8% from the previous year.

Sloan said the local real

estate industry is now talking about “attainable” housing” instead of “affordable.”

People have come to asso-ciate affordable with low-income, when attainable was meant to refer to housing that is affordable to the average or median income household income in the community, he said.

Looking at the current medi-an price of homes, the home-owner would need to make around $21 to $22 an hour to get into the median home.

“There’s not a lot of jobs at that wage in Tooele County,”

said Sloan.Current homeowners are

looking at the market prices and availability and are staying where they are instead of put-ting their home on the market, he said.

Not only is the lack of sup-ply increasing home costs, but builders, especially the small local builders, have been hit with a shortage of lumber and laborers, according to Sloan.

“It’s going to take a while to work our way out of this,” he [email protected]

A BETTER LIFE

Caring for others is important, but are you also taking care of yourself?Welcome to 2021. We are

now entering year two of COVID precautions, including masks and social distancing. Its taken me a year, but I’ve come to a realization: I have been focusing on everyone else and not as much on myself. Are you taking care of yourself? No, not the newer “self care” trend. Sure, I like my monthly massages and some daily medi-tation as much as the next per-son. I’ll occasionally even leave the kids home and take a drive or a walk by myself if I’m losing my cool. Its okay, helicopter parents, I have a wide age range so they’re semi-super-vised, plus they know how to call me, or 911. Yes, self care is

important, but keep reading. I’m really talking about the

basics you provide for your child, but for you. I know, I know. You’re wondering, who does this? Seeing a doc-tor for a symptom you’ve had for months (or years) is important. If you don’t wash your car it gets dirty right? Maybe you can’t see through the windshield well. Let’s not even talk about the recent

storm that rained and snowed what seemed like the entire West Desert onto our cars last month. But if you can’t see through your windshield you get a car wash so you don’t crash. Your body deserves the same. Moms, you make your kids take baths so say it with me: “Humans smell, and deodorant and dry shampoo only go so far. You get the point, right? Why do we take better care of our kids and our cars than we do ourselves?

Today I’m going to give you a list of things to do that can improve your health. Take them as you will. Most of them are recommended by the USDA or your friendly neigh-

borhood doctor or dentist. Or just me, your friendly Create Better Health Educator and Ambassador from the USU Extension.

Make a doctor’s appoint-ment. If it has been more than a year, go check in with them for your yearly health and wellness exam. Men and women have certain screening tests that should be done at certain ages. Get them done. If you have a family history of certain things, the starting age for those screening tests often starts five years sooner than the general population. Also, stop ignoring that snap, crack-le, pop and ask about it.

Make an appointment to

have your teeth cleaned and examined. Every six months. I think we’d all be surprised how fast teeth can change if left unchecked. A dentist catches things much sooner than if we let things go till they hurt.

Eat healthier foods. More veggies, lots more veggies. Basically every person could consume more vegetables, especially greens. Change up your protein. Eat more fish and lean proteins. Stop drink-ing juice and eat more whole fruits. Eat whole grains and less processed white flour and sugar-based foods. Choose low fat or non fat dairy.

Drink more water. The USDA doesn’t have a set daily

intake of water, but most doc-tors agree that one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight is a pretty good start. Set a timer and drink some water every hour if that helps.

Reduce the amount of caf-feine and added sugars you consume. If you increase your water intake to the rec-ommended amount you’ll naturally do this. If you have a “problem” with consuming too much caffeine, you may have a withdrawal headache for a couple days off and on. But as I type this I’ve gone six days without caffeine and I haven’t

SUNDAY DRIVE

Power upgrades, great tech make 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport an exciting driveThe first Subaru of 2021

made its way to our home for a week in January. We were thrilled it was the all-new Crosstrek Sport. We have always enjoyed not only the Subaru line-up, but especially this small crossover model.

We were not disappointed with our week which included a trip up to Farmington Bay and a bunch of running around Utah Valley. We were able to manage a very nice 34.1 miles per gallon for the entire week.

This year Subaru has upped the game in the new Crosstrek by giving the popu-lar compact SUV an optional stronger engine. A 2.5-liter Subaru Boxer power plant can now be had under the hood that produces a very nice 182 horsepower with 176 ft.-lbs. of torque to go with it. This engine is coupled to the wheels via a CVT (continuous-ly variable transmission), as are most Subaru models. We feel Subaru does a very nice job with this type of transmis-sion making it feel as natural as possible to what most folks are used to — especially us in our age-advanced status.

The Saturday of our test ride the weather changed from a small snow storm the day before to a beautiful winter day, so we took advan-tage of that with our trip up

to Farmington. There was a method to our madness of just randomly heading out on a Saturday. We wanted to get a glimpse at the many bald eagles said to spend time on the bay from January through March.

The drive up to Farmington was made so much easier because of the Subaru Eyesight system. What this does is add an extra pair of eyes and even an extra foot on the brake if needed. There are two new sensors located on each side of the rearview mirror at the top of the windshield that continually scan the road ahead and to the sides of the vehicle. This made it possible for the Crosstrek to alert us if we started to wander outside of the lane, and would also nudge the vehicle back into the lane with Subaru’s version of lane keep assist. We found the system performed very well even in the dark of night on the concrete freeway where

the lines are sometimes hard to see. It even alerted us if we seemed to be weaving back and forth in the lane, some-thing that might happen with drowsy driving.

It also came with adaptive cruise control that would keep the Crosstrek at a certain dis-tance behind the next vehicle in the lane, even bringing it to a complete stop if necessary. The engineers have taken this technology even one step fur-ther by providing an audible beep when the car ahead clears, allowing the Crosstrek to return to the set speed.

This system would also hit the brakes if it thought the vehicle was in eminent danger of a front collision. It will also reduce throttle control and apply brakes if the danger is not as emanate as it may appear, thus either avoiding or greatly diminishing a front end collision. A Subaru equipped with the Eyesight system gets the highest rating possible when it comes to front end collisions with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

We were able to get the Crosstrek very muddy from the snow the night before that had melted out on the dykes in Farmington Bay. We had to drive on these dykes to get access to better views of the many different species of birds that make this part of

Utah their home for the winter months.

With temperatures hitting the low 50º mark in early February, it turned out to be a very nice day to be literally out on the water. We would rec-ommend some kind of SUV to make the trek as most of it was basically in mud and dirt.

We saw over 100 bald eagles either flying in the air or sitting on small ice-like islands scattered throughout Farmington Bay; well worth the trip up and even more so in the new Crosstrek Sport.

Also new this year in the sport model only are a hill descent control along with a deep snow and mud function that we kind of got to use, but would have gotten a better chance if the overnight storm

had produced more than an inch of the white stuff.

Inside, the sport was very comfortable with new water repellant seats made of durable StartTex upholstery with a beautiful yellow stitch-ing that continued through to dashboard and steering wheel. Our test ride came with an upgraded 8-inch infotainment screen that we would highly recommend. It was easy to see and use throughout the week. We have always found that in this department bigger usu-ally is better as connected out phones to use Apple CarPlay for directions to the bay.

The Crosstrek also features Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive, where the engineers have split the power 50-50 to the front and rear wheels. It

will distribute more power to any wheel where it is needed when driving on uneven ter-rain or through a patch of snow. This all-wheel drive is standard on the Subaru where much of the competition will start with a front wheel drive only version.

The new Subaru Crosstrek Sport was a great ride for a week, especially with the new engine upgrade — always great to get more horsepower no matter what kind of vehicle.

Wildflowers, if chosen properly, can make beautiful gardens DIANE SAGERSGUEST COLUMNIST

This column was originally published March 7, 2013. It has been updated by the author.

Mother Nature hates bare spots. If a place is bare,

she will plant something there. In the case of my backyard, her choice is weeds — grasses and stickers and other prob-lem plants. Those are not all she knows, however. Her choices in areas untouched by man can be spectacular.

The panorama of colors, sizes, shapes and heights changes throughout the sea-sons and the results are worth a special trip to see.

It is a little early to plant outdoors, but it isn’t too early

to plan. There is a part of us that wants to capture the look of the pristine parts of our mountains and bring them home to our yards. Keeping in mind that a wildflower will grow naturally in our climate and soils without human inter-vention, we can make choices of plants that will thrive in our yards. However, do not believe for a moment that they are truly care free. They may flourish in the mountains but a look around the countryside outside our cities will tell you that some help will be in order to make a lovely blooming gar-den in the valley.

Mixtures of well-adapted native flowers can be planted to cover large, open areas or even to replace turf. My per-

sonal experience in my own landscape makes me inclined to suggest starting small and experimenting a little. Some of the noxious weeds in our area were imported and planted because they grew altogether too well. Plants that are exceptionally well adapted may become weedy or escape to areas where they are unwanted.

Many of the wildflow-ers that are favorites in America have been growing in European gardens for cen-turies. Europeans had their own flower favorites for cen-turies prior to the discovery of America, but when early explorers came here, they found plants that intrigued and inspired. They took

samples of these plants back to Europe where they caught on quickly.

Ironically, centuries after the flowers left this country, settlers tended to ignore these same plants for American gar-dens.

In the beginning of colo-nial times, settlers focused on survival and food gardens were of utmost importance. As they became settled, however, they began to plant pleasure gardens. George Washington’s gardens at Mount Vernon included a wide array of flow-ers. He avidly exchanged plants with contacts in Europe. However, his primary passion was trees and shrubs.

THURSDAY March 4, 2021B2 TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN

Thomas Jefferson may have been an even more avid horti-culturist than Washington, if that is possible. The two cor-responded regularly about the plants they were growing and shared information and plant materials.

Jefferson collected and tested plants and saved seeds to grow wildflowers in his garden. Many of his garden plants were started with plants collected by Meriwether Lewis during the Lewis and Clark Voyage of Discovery in the early 1800s. They discovered some plants that are very familiar to us such as scarlet globemallow, blanket-flower and purple coneflower.

Early colonists created manicured and formal designs as were popular in Europe. The publication of William Robinson’s The Wilde Garden in 1870 changed all that. Robinson celebrated the looser, less formal designs that grew plants that would flourish in a home landscape. Designs included peonies, hol-lyhocks, phlox, roses and other

plants that we still consider grandma’s old-fashioned gar-den plants.

Start small and experi-ment before you go whole hog into this kind of garden. This does not mean scattering the contents of a cute packet of wildflower seeds. Too often this results in a nice-looking garden the first year, but the next year many of the original plants will have died and the stronger plants will take over and become weedy.

It’s good to know what you are working with. If you do choose a packet of pre-mixed wildflowers, choose something geared to our climate. If you choose one that is designed for east-coast gardens, you may find that the flowers don’t do very well after the first year or so.

Carefully planned and properly chosen flowers require less maintenance than traditional landscape plant-ings. This does not mean no maintenance. Irrigation will be required the first year and some weeding may still be required.

Carefully selected native plants can be attractive and require less watering, fertiliz-ing pest control and mowing.

Flowers have other ecologi-cal benefits. They provide nec-tar and pollen for bees, but-terflies and other pollinators, and they provide food for birds and wildlife. Research points out that bees may be more attracted to native plants than to imported flowers.

Plants with deep roots help control erosion and withstand drought. They bring earth-worms and beneficial soil microorganisms that make the soil healthy.

By selecting plants carefully, you can achieve a balance so that one plant won’t take over everything else. Plant them so that they are mixed, but keep in mind that Mother Nature tends to plant in clumps rather than totally mixing plants up. A small clump here and a larger one there of one variety with other flowers and clumps intermixed might be just the ticket.

When you choose wildflow-ers, you might want to con-sider some of the following: purple coneflower, California poppy, columbine, butter-fly weed and black-eyed or brown-eyed Susans. You may already have some of these in your flower beds because they do grow well here

died yet.Avoid drugs and alcohol.

There’s not much that needs to be said here. We can generalize a little, but for the most part, unless prescribed by your doc-tor, they’re bad for you.

Practice good hygiene. Good hygiene is important for social, medical, and psychological reasons in that it not only reduces the risk of illness but it also improves the way others view you and how you view yourself.

Remember to focus on your mental health. See friends to

build your sense of belonging. Consider joining a support group to make new friends. Try to do something you enjoy every day. That might mean dancing, watching a favorite TV show, working in the gar-den, painting or reading. Also find ways to relax, like medita-tion, yoga, getting a massage, taking a bath or taking a walk.

Exercise on a more regular basis. Being active is an impor-tant part of a healthy lifestyle. 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity is the recom-mended amount per week for adults. Physical activity can be both fun and healthy. A nice motto to have is “Move More” for adults and “Play Every Day” for children. Remember all

activity counts.Also remember to be more

intentional. When you are intentional you choose to make decisions and take action on what’s really important to you. Being intentional means getting clear up front about what you want to achieve. You intentionally set an intention to achieve a specific outcome or result in the future.

Marriage has porous bordersDear Amy: My husband of

13 years is having boundary issues with a colleague. They became close when he had a depressive episode last year and confided in her instead of me. He said a lot of things to her that made me uncomfortable, including comments about our relationship and our finances.

I read his messages and have proof.

I confessed to him that I read his messages, and we talked about it. He said that he no lon-ger considers her “a friend.”

I am still reading his mes-sages because I don’t trust him, and today I read a reply from him to her where he said he would “love to see her.” He hasn’t told me about it. Hmmm. They aren’t friends? I don’t believe him.

We have a close and intimate partnership otherwise, and I never make him feel unsafe with his issues.

I know they don’t have a physical relationship, but I am sick of being lied to and don’t understand why he can’t just be open with me.

We both have therapists but can’t afford therapy together. I feel like I’ve already done the nuclear option and now I don’t know what else to do. I also know what I am doing is very bad, but I can’t just stop, know-ing all this. What now?

- Upset WifeDear Wife: Your husband

isn’t the only member of your household who has boundary issues. Your own choice to con-tinue to violate his privacy is leaping over an important per-sonal boundary that is affecting your relationship. Stop it.

Yes, he erred when he con-fided in his friend at work about your relationship and private life. His choice to do that denotes the possible first stages of an “emotional affair,” foster-ing emotional intimacy with

someone other than his spouse.Not to excuse his choice, but

you might ask yourself why your husband confided in some-one else when he was going through a tough time. You don’t mention what inspired you to monitor his communication in the first place, but you must explore how your behavior might be connected with his. You suggest that your relation-ship is otherwise great, but a next step might be for you to admit that - right now - it isn’t.

You are both vulnerable. Your husband “can’t be honest” with you and you can’t seem to be honest with him. You aren’t the bad guy here, but maybe he isn’t, either.

Honesty entails more than just admitting that you caught him doing something you don’t want him to do. Tell him that you would like to work as an equal, flawed, and vulner-able partner to rebuild trust - together.

You are each in therapy; you should definitely be in therapy together. Perhaps his therapist would agree to let you sit in for a session in order to communi-cate about this openly and in a mediated discussion.

Dear Amy: I was lucky enough to meet my spouse on a dating site.

We’ve enjoyed 11 years together (married for eight), and we are still going strong, even as the pandemic rolls along and we are together 24/7.

Here are my tips for online dating, passed on to me by all my other friends who did it before me:

Don’t give them your address

or phone number if you can avoid it until you meet in per-son.

Meet in public and tell them you have an event later, so you have an “out” if you need it.

You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince.

Don’t give up! The right one is out there!

- Met my Match on OKCDear Met my Match: I

appreciate your tips.During my own phase of

online matching, I reframed the experience by thinking of it as “practice.” This seemed to turn down the anxiety-volume enough for me to simply embrace meeting new people.

Dear Amy: I share your col-umn regularly with my 11-year-old daughter.

She also happens to be a fashionista, and after reading the question from “Copied,” who was annoyed by her co-worker copying all of her out-fits, my daughter suggested this solution: Why not do the nicest thing and offer to take this woman shopping?

Help her find and develop her OWN style. She is clearly trying to fit in, and has not had any assistance. This way both women gain!

- Shopping in CaliforniaDear Shopping: I’ve received

a high volume of responses to this question - most of them agreeing with your daughter: This presents an opportunity to be nice.

Say “No!” and win friendsQ: I have a business pro-

posal I cannot support at this time for legal, ethical and financial reasons. I’m worried about the effect my “No,” is going to have on my long-term business relationships. Is there a way to withdraw my support without harming my business relationships?

A: Yes you will say, “No” and win friends if you avoid a power struggle and look at the issues through the long-term best interests of your group.

Many adults are seduced by the short-term goody rather than waiting for the long-term benefit. Realize if you cannot articulate both the liabilities of going forward and the ben-efits of waiting you will lose any influence.

Look at the marketing pro-grams that offer, “Buy now, pay later (with lots of inter-est),” programs to customers. Do you think these programs benefit the organization that makes immediate profit or the customer that pays much more in the long-run for the product?

Getting the goody now is nearly the American way. The idea of waiting for a better goody will not be immediately popular unless you can articu-late clearly the long-term ben-efits for the audience.

Start by looking at this proposal by wearing the shoes of your colleagues. Since empathy is a rare capacity in the work world your ability to look through the eyes of those you want to influence is powerful. Now consider why legally, ethically, and finan-cially it benefits your audience to wait.

You can empathize with your group’s attraction to the immediate proposal while still proposing a richer idea for a future moment.

Take out a piece of paper and write down all the specific liabilities of this proposal and then write down the alterna-tive benefits of waiting. Now you have a proposal that has punch.

People want to work with solution creators not problem generators. Thus you never want to complain about a proposal but rather present a better idea.

When you present your idea to your group avoid using any wording that suggests blame or is combative. You want to

focus on what everyone stands to gain with your thinking not deteriorate into an argument.

Make sure you avoid power struggles when talking about not supporting this proposal. If you let your ego argue about who is right then the conver-sation will cease to focus on what is right or the most effec-tive path forward.

The last word(s)Q: I had a tough last year

and thought the pressure would let up this year but it hasn’t is there a way to use this stress to my advantage?

A: Yes, both breakdowns and diamonds are created under pressure it depends on whether we chose to develop or decompensate under stress.

Half of seniors have H. Pylori infectionDEAR DR. ROACH: Could

you give some additional information about H. pylori infection? I was diagnosed with it recently, via biopsies taken during an endoscopic procedure. I was given instruc-tions on antibiotics to be taken, which I followed through on. When talking to my doctor’s physician assistant, I asked what could have caused the infection, to try to prevent it from recurring. I was given a very cursory response, includ-ing that it could have come from eating at “Mom and Pop” restaurants. From research I did after that, it seems that it can be present for a long period of time without being noticed, and many times the cause is unsure.

After I finished the antibiot-ics, I was told to have a follow-up test to make sure they were effective. I was given a choice of a stool test or a breathing test; I chose the breathing test. I was surprised at how easy it was. Are those tests also used to initially detect an infection, without a biopsy? — A.J.Y.

ANSWER: Helicobacter pylori is an important cause of chronic gastritis (stomach

inflammation), the most important cause of stomach ulcers, and is an important factor in stomach cancer and intestinal lymphoma. Between 50% and 66% of the popula-tion of the world is affected. The older a person is, the more likely he or she is to have infec-tion: In the U.S., it’s about 10% in those between 18 and 30 years old, but 50% in those over 60. This likely represents an improvement in hygiene, as most infections are acquired in childhood and persist through-out life.

It is thought that most infec-tion occurs person-to-person, possibly through water or from poor handwashing before food preparation. H. pylori is much more common in developing

nations. In the U.S., infection is more common in people of lower socioeconomic status.

Not everyone with H. pylori has symptoms or needs treat-ment. People with ulcers or gastritis are generally treated with several antibiotics for 10-14 days along with antacid medicine. The diagnosis can be made by biopsy, as yours was, or by the stool or breath test.

The breath test is at least 95% specific (if the test is posi-tive, it’s very likely to be a true positive) but 90% sensitive, meaning one person in 10 with the bacteria will have a false negative test. The stool test is close to 95% sensitive and specific. Blood testing is more likely to have false positive and false negative results. In addi-tion to making the diagnosis, the stool or breath test is rec-ommended to confirm eradica-tion of the infection.

For more reading, I’d recom-mend you start at medlineplus.gov/helicobacterpyloriinfec-tions.html.

• • •DEAR DR. ROACH: Is chla-

mydia easy to cure with antibi-otics? — Anon.

ANSWER: Although there

are several different species of the bacterium Chlamydia, including an important one that causes pneumonia, I assume you mean chlamydia trachomatis, the kind that causes genital disease in both men and women.

Yes, it can be easily cured. The cure rate with either of the first-line antibiotics, doxycycline or azithromycin, is 96% to 100%. The hard part is making the diagnosis, since the infection can be clinically silent, but can still be passed on. Unfortunately, unless all partners are treated simultane-ously, it’s possible to be rein-fected.

Gonorrhea is often present at the same time as chlamydia, and it’s important that testing for that infection also be done.

Crunchy microwave peanut brittleClassic recipes sometimes

scare me off. Too many steps, too many risks for failure and too many pans to clean. No wonder I was thrilled years ago when my mom shared her easy technique for mak-ing peanut brittle. It all comes together in the microwave.

Reduced to these simple steps without need for a candy thermometer, your family will enjoy the salty-sweet confec-tion in no time at all. Just be

sure to spread out the hot mix-ture thinly on a warm pan to ensure the “brittleness” when it cools.

MICROWAVE PEANUT BRITTLE

1 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1 cup roasted, salted pea-

nuts1 teaspoon unsalted butter1 teaspoon pure vanilla

extract1 teaspoon baking soda

1. Butter or spray a bak-ing sheet with cooking spray.

Warm in an oven just before you pour the mixture onto it.

2. In a 1-1/2-quart-size microwave-safe glass bowl, stir together sugar, corn syrup and salt until smooth. Microwave on high setting for 4 minutes.

3. Stir in peanuts. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, or until light brown.

4. Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave on high for 2 min-utes more or until peanuts are lightly browned and mixture is golden in color. (Microwaves vary, so keep an eye on it at all times to ensure peanuts do not burn.) Remove carefully, as syrup will be very hot.

5. Add baking soda and gently stir thoroughly. Immediately pour mixture onto the warm baking sheet. Spread evenly with a greased spatula.

6. Cool and let stand until hardened, about 30 minutes. Break into serving-size pieces. Store extra candy between sheets of wax paper in an air-tight container.

NOTE: You may substitute roasted cashews or almonds for the peanuts.

Welcome to the first big scandal of 2021. Armie

Hammer, of the hit film “Call Me by Your Name,” is in hot water because messages have surfaced on social media, allegedly written by him, in which he, supposedly, gives graphic details about sexual fantasies, some referencing cannibalism. He’s denied the accusations and calls them “bulls**t.” His estranged wife, Elizabeth Chambers, has publicly said she is “shocked, heartbroken and devastated.”

Lionsgate, producers of the upcoming Jennifer Lopez film “Shotgun Wedding,” which was to have co-starred Hammer, moved swiftly to remedy the situation, replacing Hammer with Josh Duhamel. How Hammer’s other films, already complet-ed and awaiting release, will be affected is anyone’s guess. “Crisis,” with Gary Oldman, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, Michelle Rodriguez and Luke Evans, was due Feb. 26, followed by “Death on the Nile,” due Sept. 17. The sports comedy “Next Goal Wins,” with Michael Fassbender and Elisabeth Moss, is in post-production, awaiting a release date.

Lopez, meanwhile, has completed “Marry Me,” with Owen Wilson (due May 14), and is prepping to play drug lord Griselda Blanco in “The Godmother.”

• • •Two of Josh Duhamel’s

recent successes were “Transformers: The Last Knight” (2017) and “Love Simon” (2018). Due to COVID, his next projects, “The Lost Husband,” with Leslie Bibb (Christine Everhart in “Iron Man” 1

and 2) and “Think Like a Dog,” with Megan Fox, went to Video On Demand, while “Buddy Games,” which he wrote/produced/directed and starred in, with Dax Shepard, Kevin Dillon and Olivia Munn, has been caught in the COVID distribu-tion mess as well. He’s also got the Netflix streaming series “Jupiter’s Legacy,” with Ben Daniels, Leslie Bibb and Matt Lanter, with the first episode due May 7.

Duhamel still has legions of loyal fans from “All My Children,” and, oh yes, he was married to the “Black Eyed Peas” Fergie for 10 years, and they had a son. He’s a far better match for Jennifer Lopez than Armie Hammer.

• • •We suspect the Shirley

MacLaine/Peter Dinklage film “American Dreamer,” which begins shooting March 15 in Vancouver, will undergo a name change since the film “American Dreamer,” starring stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan, was released in 2019. MacLaine, one of the last four living studio-created movie stars of The Golden Age of Hollywood (the oth-ers being Jane Fonda, Sophia Loren and Robert Redford), will give Dinklage a run for his money. He plays a Harvard economics professor and she, a lonely, childless near-death widow, offers him her sprawling estate for next to nothing. Dinklage will next play a man pretending to be a leprechaun in “O Lucky Day.” It must be quite a part because he swore he’d never play a leprechaun ... proving never say never!

MY ANSWER

No one is exempt from the touch of tragedyFrom the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: Our country doesn’t even resemble the America we once knew — the land of the free. Where in the Bible is there anything similar that has hap-pened to a God-fearing nation?

— G.F.A: America has gone a

long way down the wrong road by moving away from its spiritual heritage. This is not a new story. After ravaging the land of Israel, the Babylonian army had forced its captives to march toward a land of

exile and a terrifying future. Depressed and forlorn, the Hebrews discarded their musi-cal instruments. There was no song left in their hearts.

The Book of Psalms is fre-quently read for comfort. It’s the hymnbook of the Bible. We turn to it often because of the wide range of moods and experiences found there. Many psalms were produced during periods of national crises and personal hardship in the case of David, Israel’s greatest king. We delight in his successes — his youthful triumph over the Philistine giant Goliath,

his rise from shepherd boy to monarch, and his victories over Israel’s foes. But David was also a man of unbearable sor-row. Unjustly accused of trea-son, he was forced to live for years as a fugitive. At one point in his reign, his own nation turned against him as one of his son’s attempted a coup. David knew personal suffering and national crises.

No one is exempt from the touch of tragedy: neither the Christian nor the non-Christian; neither the rich nor the poor; neither the leader nor the commoner. Crossing

all racial, social, political, and economic barriers, suffering reaches out to unite mankind. But we can take refuge in Jesus Christ who gives hope to face each day, and His Word, the Bible, is filled with hope. Read it and believe it!

TOOELE TRANSCRIPT BULLETIN B7THURSDAY March 4, 2021

Explore the Colorful History of Tooele County

Tooele County features some of the most dramatic

and diverse landforms on Earth. There are 11,000 foot-high peaks, an inland sea, verdant valleys, and a mysterious desert with a bizarre expanse of white salt. The only people who knew about the place were the Native Americans who lived there, and a few white explorers during the early 1800s. But that all changed in September 1846. That year the Donner-Reed Party, while trying a shortcut to California, passed through the county and nearly perished in the Great Salt Lake Desert. Three years later, a handful of Mormon pioneer families left Salt Lake

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

Florence: City of artAs we’ve had to postpone

our travels because of the pandemic, I believe a weekly dose of travel dreaming can be good medicine. Here’s one of my favorite European memories from Florence — a reminder of the artistic wonders that awaits us at the other end of this crisis.

After my first day in Florence, I remember thinking, “I’ve seen more great art in a few hours than many people see in a lifetime.”

Geographically small but culturally rich, Florence is home to some of the finest art and architecture in the world. In that single day, I looked Michelangelo’s David in the eyes, fell under the seductive sway of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, and climbed the first great dome of the Renaissance, which gracefully dominates the city’s skyline today as it did 500 years ago.

After Rome fell in AD 476, Europe wallowed in centuries of relative darkness, with little learning, commerce, or travel. Then, around 1400, there was a Renaissance: a rebirth of the culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Starting in Florence, it

swept across Europe. Wealthy merchant and banking fami-lies — like the Medici, who ruled Florence for generations — showed their civic pride by commissioning great art.

With the Renaissance, art-ists rediscovered the beauty of nature and the human body, expressing the optimism of this new age. The ulti-mate representation of this: Michelangelo’s David. Poised confidently in the Accademia Gallery, David represents humankind stepping out of medieval darkness — the birth of our modern, humanist out-look. Standing boldly, David sizes up the giant, as if to say, “I can take him.” The statue was an apt symbol, inspir-ing Florentines to tackle their Goliaths.

Until 1873, David stood not in the Accademia, but outside Palazzo Vecchio, the

former Medici palace and now Florence’s City Hall. A replica David marks the spot where the original once stood. With goony eyes and a pigeon-dropping wig, this Daid seems dumb-founded, as tourists picnic at his feet and policemen clip-clop by on horseback.

Next door to the palace were the Medicis’ offices, or uffizi. Now the Uffizi Gallery holds the finest collection of Italian paintings anywhere, sweep-ing through art history from the 12th through 17th centu-ries, with works by Botticelli, Raphael, Giotto, Titian, Leonardo, and Michelangelo. In the long, arcaded courtyard, a permanent line of tourists (who ignored my guidebook’s advice to book reservations online in advance) waits to buy tickets.

For me, a highlight of the Uffizi is Venus de’ Medici. Revered as the epitome of beauty, Venus is a Roman copy of a 2,000-year-old Greek statue that went missing. In the 18th and 19th centuries, wealthy children of Europe’s aristocrats made the pilgrimage to the Uffizi to complete their classical education. They stood before the cold beauty of this

goddess of love and swooned in ecstasy.

Classical statues like this clearly inspired Sandro Botticelli, my favorite Florentine painter. His greatest paintings, including the Birth of Venus, hang in this gallery. According to myth, Venus was born from the foam of a wave. This fragile Venus, a newborn beauty with flyaway hair, floats ashore on a clam shell while flowers tumble in slow motion. For me, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus represents the purest expression of Renaissance beauty.

In Florence, art treasures are everywhere you turn. The small, uncrowded Bargello Museum features the best col-lection of Florentine sculpture anywhere, including works by Michelangelo, Donatello, and Ghiberti. And hiding out at the underrated Duomo Museum, you’ll see one of Michelangelo’s Pietas (which he designed as the centerpiece for his own tomb) and Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise panels. Revolutionary in their realism and three-dimensionality, these panels were created in response to a citywide competition in 1401

to build new doors for the Baptistery.

Across the street from the Duomo Museum towers Florence’s famous cathedral. Gaping up at the first great dome built in Europe in more than a thousand years, I cel-ebrated the structure that marked the start of the archi-tectural Renaissance.

After a day filled with so much great art, I retreat to a stately former monastery and unwind in a Renaissance-era cell. It’s my favorite Florentine hotel, Loggiato dei Serviti, and that cell is my bedroom.

Directly across from my win-dow is the Accademia, filled with tourists clamoring to meet David. The peaceful courtyard in between is gravelly with

broken columns and stones that students are carving like creative woodpeckers. I hear the happy chipping and chirp-ing of their chisels gaining confidence, cutting through the stone. Five centuries later, it’s comforting to know that the spirit of the Renaissance remains alive and well in Florence.

Karl George SwanKarl was born March 12,

1931, son of Clifford and Cynthia Speirs Swan. He lived most of his life in Tooele, Utah where he played in his own dance band, played high school football and sang in choirs and quartets. He gradu-ated from Tooele High School and the University of Utah where he majored in Music Education.

After beginning his teach-ing career at Grantsville and Tooele High School, he accepted a call to serve his Faith (L.D.S.) in the West German Mission for two years. Following his mission, he returned to the “U“ to work on an advanced degree. He met and married Janet Lowe in September 1957, later becom-ing proud parents of five chil-dren: Stephen, David, Gary, Amy, and Elizabeth. Later he was proud to welcome their spouses Tawn, Jennifer, Melissa, Martin Moreno and Rick Heap.

The Swans lived on Upland Drive in Tooele. The street brings back his memories of neighbors participating in planting a half block of uniform Linden trees. Karl became familiar with Linden trees on his mission where in Berlin where there is a street named for the tree, “Unter den Linden”.

During the first four years after returning to Tooele, the Tooele High Music Dept produced four Broadway Musicals: Brigadoon,

Oklahoma, Carousel, and Kiss Me Kate. He believed in 1957 and still believes that the experience of performing live theater is not only excellent for confidence and talent develop-ment, but a truly memorable experience for teenagers.

Karl was elected to the Utah State Senate in 1970 and served for twenty years in that legislative body, serving six years as Minority Whip and promoting issues of education, natural resources and local issues of concern to his imme-diate constituency (Tooele County).

Karl lost his wife Janet in 2003. Later, while serving on the Governor’s Commission for Women and Families, he met and later married Kay T. Rawson on Valentine’s Day, 2004. Together they claim 11 children, 27 grandchildren, and 39 great grandchildren. Because of COVID-19, they are planning a party for him at a later date.
