Anything Storage open in Spanish Fork Christene Choate STAFF WRITER Anything Storage opened for business during March, and is located at 2376 North 200 East, Spanish Fork. They offer eight different sizes of storage units, ranging from 5x10' to 15x40'. The large variety of sizes allows them to accommodate anyone's storage needs, with storage ranging from small family units to units that are large enough for business, RV7 boat or commercial use. Storage facilities are in high demand in the state of Utah. "Utah has more self-storage units than any other three states," said Dave Coombs, Anything Storage manager. "That is probably because Utah has a lot of children and foreclosures on houses." Anything Storage happens to be one of the few of the storage facili- ties in the surrounding area that isn't currently full. Dave and Cathy Coombs moved here from Denver, Colo, to manage Anything Storage. * "This type of business lends itself to empty nesters," said Coombs, "us who have become wise with age." "We love it here, though. We feel safer — more friendly people, and we love the mountains," said Coombs. Sutherland Institute recently announced the hiring of Jeffery L. Reynolds as its new director of communications and member of its executive management team. Reynolds has served the past nine and a half years as an associate director of Brigham Young University's athletic communications department and director of media relations for BYU's football program. "We are excited to have someone of Jeff's caliber and experience join Sutherland," said Paul T. Mero, president of the Sutherland Institute. "Jeff brings with him a wealth of experience with traditional communications strategies, as well as new media technologies. What's more, Jeff understands the value and importance of Sutherland in helping strengthen the conservative principles that act as the fundamental pillars of a free and prosperous Utah." Reynolds' tenure at BYU included overseeing the media efforts surrounding the retirement of Hall-of-Fame Coach La Veil Edwards, assisting in the development and re-launching of byucougars.com and the management of media relations for BYU football.
