Thousands of children in Tooele County, ages 3-11 participated in

the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce/Mountain West Medical Center Annual Easter Egg Hunt. This annual event has been co-sponsored by Mountain West Medical Center and the Chamber of Commerce for many years. This is a fun way to show the community our combined commitment to Tooele County and our residents. Local businesses donated bicycles, gifts, candy and other prizes that were given away at the egg hunt. This event is totally funded by our generous local businesses!

The event was held on Saturday April 23rd at the Deseret Peak Complex located on Hwy 112 between Tooele and Grantsville. Over 15,000 plastic eggs and candy bags were filled and ready for the children. Over 70 student volunteers from Tooele High, Tooele Jr. High, Stansbury High, Clarke Johnson Jr High and Tooele Boys and Girls Club Teen Center were all participants in this year’s Egg-Stuff-a-Ganza! The students were involved in organizations including Student

Government, Key Club, National Honor Society, Service Club, and Cheer Squad. The event was organized by Jamie Carter, Tooele City Library Director with help from one very awesome library volunteer named Dannie Libby from Stansbury. These students spent over 120 total hours stuffing eggs with prizes and candy! Kristen Linares, Tooele County School District Special Education Department staff member, also helped stuff eggs with the help of her students at Stansbury High, Grantsville High and Tooele High School.

The event would not have been possible without the many

volunteers who helped organize and participate in the hunt. A heartfelt thanks to the Tooele City Fire Department for the fire engine siren which started the event, the staff of the Deseret Peak Complex for preparation of the complex and the sound system, the Tooele County Royalty and their advisor Cheryl Adams for handing out prizes, Tooele High School FBLA and Honor Society and their advisor Shauna Peterson, Tooele City Library and their egg stuffing partners, Tooele County Sheriff ’s Dept for traffic control, Rocky Mtn. Masonic Lodge for crowd control, Chamber Board members and

Ambassadors!The Easter Egg Hunt is a perfect

example of how volunteers, businesses, and government leaders “Come Together” to serve the community residents.

Tooele County’s Premier Golfing Event

Thousands of Children Attend Annual Tooele County Chamber Easter Egg Hunt

The Tooele County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament Committee is making prepara-

tions for their largest fundraising event of the year…..the 2011 Chamber Golf Tournament. The first class event will be held on Friday, June 17th at Tooele’s premier 18 hole golf course, Oquirrh Hills. Energy Solutions is the Platinum Sponsor for this years exciting event. Gold sponsors include Tooele City, Tooele County, Mountain West Medi-cal Center and Mountain America Credit Union.

Golf is the game of network-ing. More deals are closed through the relationships cultivated while playing golf than with any other endeavor. The marketing opportunity presented at a golf tournament is a valuable tool that can be used to elevate your business to a new level.

The Chamber tournament offers a great day of golfing along with breakfast (co-sponsored by Mountain West Medical Center and Dennys of Tooele) and lunch sponsored by Rio Tinto. *One additional lunch sponsorship is still available. You will be greeted as you arrive by a concierge who will carry your bags to an assigned

cart before briefing you on the activi-ties of the day. A special event ball cap and a sleeve of golf balls will be given to each golfer along with other special goody bag prizes and treats. Several prizes donated by local businesses will also be distributed through a drawing. Wal-Mart Logistics will be this years sponsor for the putting contest where golfers will be offered the chance to win a big screen television!

For the added enjoyment of our golf-ers, teams will be limited this year to thirty-six. Team slots are filling up fast so give us a call today (435-882-0690)

to reserve your spot! Sponsorships begin at $50 and are still available as well as the opportunity to promote your company by donating prizes. Information about the tournament is available at the Chamber office (86 South Main, Tooele) or on their website at www.tooelechamber.com

I spent my childhood and teenage years here, in Tooele. Since then my life and career have taken

many different unexpected turns: Dental hygiene school in Sheridan, Wyoming; 13 years working as a hygienist in Ogden, then suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome; night school at Weber State and a BS degree; program management job at Hill Air Force Base; laid off in reduction-in-force; to Baton Rouge, Louisiana for law school; decided that law school was not for me; back to dental hygiene

and recurring carpal tunnel syn-drome; medical retirement; then, back to Tooele to care for an ill grandmoth-er; and now a pet sitter.

Pet sitting, for me, was a natural choice as a business. I have always had a love for animals, and I have always had pets at home. My grandfather had dogs, deer fawns, a raccoon, fox, rabbits, donkeys, and horses during my childhood. I raised a pig and twin lambs for high school FFA projects. My grandfather taught me to ride horses. I participated in the Jr. Bit and Spur, high school and college rodeo, and Utah and Idaho association rodeos.

I do not have a facility for board-ing animals. Instead, I make visits to clients’ homes and care for their pets where they are in their familiar and comfortable surroundings. With all of the rural areas in the county, there is a need to care for the big, outdoor critters. Having the ability to care for these animals is what is unique about my services.

An in home pet sitting service is not only needed when pet owner’s vacation or travel with their work. I walk dogs for people who work a ten hour day or have a long day because of commuting. Also, I can take pets to the vet or to be groomed during the client’s working hours.

Another advantage of in home pet sitting is that I also do typical house sitting chores; mail and newspaper re-trieval, putting the trash can out and in, opening and closing blinds, turn-ing lights on and off, watering plants, etc. These things prevent residence from giving the appearance that no one is home.

Summers and Holidays are my busiest times of the year. I am lucky that my sister cooks holiday dinners, otherwise, I would never get to eat because I am too busy feeding animals their holiday meals to cook. Most of the time, I have been able to handle the business alone. I have a good friend who helps me if I need her.

I have come to love pets that I sit as much as their owners love them. It is fun getting to know the pet own-ers, too. Having a common love for animals, we naturally become friends. I have had the opportunity to experi-ence all different breeds of dogs, from a Rhodesian Ridge hound to York-shire show dogs. They are all unique in their behavior and personalities. I have cared for a llama, turkeys, and have learned what fun a pet rat can be. My work seems more like play to me. With an enthusiastic dog licking my face and wagging their tail with delight, how can I not love it!

Some of my clients have moved be-cause of their employment. I have been in business long enough that some pets that I tend have died of old age. Thus, I am always open to new clients. I hope that my pet sitting business is one that I will never retire from.

Leap-N-Lemur joins Chamber


By Wade MathewsPublic Information Officer

The Tooele County Com-mission is vigilantly monitoring the potential

for spring flooding this year. Commissioner Bruce Clegg and County Engineer Vern Loveless make regular patrols of specific areas of concern. However, while electronic news media are paint-ing a gloomy picture on the Salt Lake City side of the Oquirrh Mountains, Clegg and Loveless agree that the situation in Tooele County is manageable.

Long-time residents of Tooele County will remember the flood-ing of 1983. City streets were turned into roaring rivers. Roads

and yards were washed out. Homes were flood-ed. People all around the Tooele Valley were recruited to fill sand bags. I remember getting out

of church early on a Sunday after-noon in Erda to go fill sand bags in Tooele.

The good news is it’s unlikely that we’ll see a repeat of that disaster. Utah Snotel measure-ments indicate that the Oquirrh Mountains are at 145% of normal for water equivalent, the amount of water contained in the snow. That’s only about half of the water content we saw during the winter of 1982-1983. The only factor of real concern now is how fast the temperatures will increase and bring down the water that is up in the mountains.

More recently, people will re-member the flash flood of Memo-rial Day 2005. However, that was caused by a three hour continu-ous downpour, not spring runoff. Loveless points out that that’s a significant difference. “This is a

snow melt event, not a cloudburst. We can see flood conditions arise over days, not minutes,” he said. Commissioner Clegg added, “With this type of event we’ll have enough warning to take proac-tive measures if the water exceeds flood controls.”

The other good news is that in the years after the floods of 1983, FEMA paid to install several new flood control measures in Tooele County. Those flood control measures include construction of a ditch and dike designed to divert water coming out of South Wil-low and North Willow Canyons away from residences and towards Tooele Army Depot and an aquifer recharge zone (absorption area) just south of SR-112; installation of larger culverts under SR-36 north

of the viaduct and near 700 South; installation of larger drainage pipes on the south side of Tooele; and excavation of deeper flood control channels along the border between Tooele City and Erda.

In spite of the positive outlook, city and county engineers, public works and roads employees, irrigation company managers, and emergency management are working hard to mitigate any potential flood waters. Recent mitigation efforts include inspect-ing and maintaining the flood control measures installed with FEMA funding, cleaning drainage ditches and flood control chan-nels, and filling sand bags.

There are several areas that officials are focusing on right now. They are Settlement Canyon, Middle Canyon, the South Wil-low Canyon and North Willow

Canyon drainage, Ophir Can-yon, Hickman Canyon, and the Vernon drainage. So far none of those areas are showing any signs of flooding.

Commissioner Clegg is work-ing closely with Tooele County Emergency Management (TCEM) and with other officials to coor-dinate snow melt information weekly. TCEM creates a SitRep or Situation Report, containing de-tails of the current situation and mitigation efforts. That SitRep is distributed to, and reviewed by, all local governments. TCEM has also supplied more sand bags to local municipalities, and is documenting efforts in case an emergency is declared and reim-bursement is available.

You may be wondering what you can do to help. As for any natural hazard potential, have a family disaster plan and disaster supplies kits; maintain situation-al awareness, meaning be aware of what’s going on around you;

consider purchasing flood insur-ance; report areas of concern to your local government officials; and monitor warning systems if an emergency does occur. People are also encouraged to orga-nize cleanup efforts to remove trash, weeds, and other debris from gutters, storm drains, and drainage ditches that may exist around your home or in your neighborhood.

Emergency Preparedness information is available in many forms at the TCEM Building at 15 East 100 South in Tooele. You can consult your 2011 Tooele County Emergency Preparedness Calen-dar. Information is also available electronically at www.tcem.org, or by following TCEM on www.Twitter.com, @TCEM; and on Facebook: www.facebook.com/tcem.org. Feel free to call (435) 833-8100 with emergency pre-paredness questions. As always, send your comments to [email protected].

SALT LAKE CITY—April 22, 2011–Se-lectHealth was recognized today with the LEED Silver award from the U.S. Green

Building Council (USGBC) for its new headquar-ters in Murray, Utah.

The USGBC created the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system to provide a set of performance standards for certifying sustainable buildings and developments. LEED buildings are designed to be healthier and safer for their occupants, maximize energy ef-ficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of the building.

To qualify for this certification, several features were incorporated into the design and construc-tion of the SelectHealth building, including daylight views for more than 90 percent of work stations, water-saving landscape design, high-effi-ciency fixtures, reserved parking for low-emitting and alternative-fuel vehicles, and a building-wide mixed-use recycling system.

“It is an honor to accept this award on behalf of our organization,”

said Pat Richards, SelectHealth president and CEO. “The efforts to achieve LEED certification will result in less impact on the environment now and in the future, as well as a healthier atmosphere for our employees.”

The LEED award was presented at a celebration for Earth Day and the one-year anniversary of the new SelectHealth building. The building was designed by VCBO Architecture with construction led by Jacobsen Construction. About SelectHealth

RedistrictingNow that the legisla-

However, before anything is finalized, there will be a number of public meetings to get input from the citizens on proposed plans. As soon as the meeting schedule is set, it will be posted on the clerk’s website, in the Transcript Bulletin and anywhere else we can think to put it. If you want to attend these meetings, please send me an email at [email protected] and you will be included on an email notification list.
