County launches campaign Brochures teach Residents what to do in chemical spill emergency will By GEOFFREY FATTAH Standard-Examin- Davis Bureau Davis County Emergency Planning Committee members say residents know more about what to do in case of a flood or earthquake I LEADING THE BAND: tv 4 Rod Simonsen is the leader than they do in case of a serious chemical spill, and have launched an educational campaign to get the word out. From the petroleum refineries in the south, the Freeport Center up north and Interstate 15 running through, officials say a chemical spill is a daily possibili- -' ty in Davis County. ' Your basic citizen has no idea what to do in a chemical said Brian Law of emergency, the Davis County Sheriffs Department. Law is the coordinator of the local emergency planning committee, comprised of local police and fire departments, business members and elected officials, who help plan for possible disasters in the county. The committee has found getting the word out about chemical hazards has been tough. Recently the group received a $2,500 grant from Phillips 66, which the group plans to use to publish 50,000 copies of two brochures. - Dave Jdmini, health, environment and safety manager for Phillips 66, said the company See BROCHURES2 erf 4 i Tho nty the Old Time Worry Makers. !iMSCHOtiNSwsvi Band members make merry Musical men swing into action for holiday gigs at shopping, senior centers , v .V By JANIS CARTER Standard-Examine- r correspondent back some of the Bringing you used to hear big bands, the Old Time Merry Makers Band is swinging into practice and preparing for holiday gigs. The band, with an average age of 73, hopes to get the dance floors rocking and just bring back some good fun into the community. When Rod Simonsen, 84, decided to organize a band, it was because he wanted "to get back into it. It all started when he was in the sixth grade. Simonsens mom started him in piano lessons, and thinking that only sissies played the piano, Simonsen took his brothers trumpet and began playing it. He joined the high school band when he was in the eighth grade and has been playing in bands ever since. Back in 1930 he started playing for a dollar an hour with the Blue Birds in Logan, then moving north and playing at Ideal Beach on Bear Lake. From there he played in Pocatello and then on to Salem, Ore., where he played at a dance hall. When Simonsen came back to Utah to work at JC Penney, he saw an old trumpet hanging from the balcony in a secondhand JC Penney store. The price tag on it was $15 dollars. After talking the salesman down to $5, Simonsen discovered that he had only $3 in his pocket, and that is what he bought the trumpet for.

LETTING LOOSE: Glenn Stewart (right) and Ray Millard jam to the Beer Barrel Polka during practice. He played for years on the trumpet, which is 100 years old, but now only uses it occasionally to play The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Simonsen was playing with a girls orchestra in Salt Lake City when his second daughter was bom. Because he did not have enough money to get her out of the hospital, he sold all his instruments except the old trumpet. Now after about 40 years of not playing in a regular band, Simonsen has pulled together the Old Time Merry Makers Band. Other members include Ray Millard, who has played the saxophone since he was 11 years old. With the Ernie Jenson dance band, he played all over the country for 40 years. When Millard plays certain tunes such as Waiting for the Robert E. Lee, he really gets off and lets it go, Simonsen said. Also in the band is Rudy Benoit on the guitar. Coming from Massachusetts, Benoit has played in bands all through the New England states and in Florida. Bob Beislive was bom in Og den and went to Weber State University, Brigham Young University and Penn State. He was a professor of chemistry, but now that he is retired he really rocks on the drums with the band. Richard McCallister is a retired school teacher. He is the groups pianist, and he also is one of the organists at the Salt Lake Temple. Newcomer to the band is Glen Stewart, playing the harmonica.
