Show Around The County MAY 16, 2008 I-80 Corridor Lined With Orange Dots - Kids Clean Up The State Roadside “Many Pitch in To Plant Trees in Francis” SPECIAL TO THE NEWS JASON BARTO Membership Chairperson Kamas Valley Lions Club CHERYL OVARD SCN Editor The youth of Park City from both the high school and middle schools participated in the County Clean-up Day on May 10th. There were over 300 youth who showed up to volunteer and clean up the corridor along I-80 from Silver Creek to Summit Park. Cris Schuz, the organizer in this great project, started out by announcing at the high school that if any student wished to help out on Saturday, to show up at the LDS Church at Jeremy Ranch. The turnout was tremendous, and the youth were anxious and willing to get out and work the entire morning! According to Schuz, UDOT was very supportive of the youth’s efforts and had their trucks out with the caution lights on to help slow down traffic. They also got permission to put the information out on the lighted overhead signs which are along I-80 to ask drivers to be aware of the youth cleaning the roadsides. UDOT also provided the sacks and vests for the kids and brought their trucks out to pick up the sacks which were filled by the students. They were anticipating about four to five tons of garbage picked up - but after it was all over - they had collected about NINE tons of garbage! Way to Go Kids! Students were able to use the service hours towards either school community service hours or LDS Church service hours if they needed them. There were many sponsors who contributed to the “egg hunt” along with the trash pickup. Smith’s donated money with which treats were purchased to award to the youth. The Muffin Shop, Davanzas, Masage Now, Block Buster, Bajio, Skullcandy (Headphones), Redstone Movies, Travel Clean, Coldstone Ice Cream, Backcountry.com T-shirt, socks, etc, McDonalds, Booster Juice, Orion’s Music Shop, Legers, Trek Book, Wasatch Bagel, Gas Card, Bagel and Cream Cheese, Cinemark Movies, PC Pizza, Reef’s Kitchen, Jeremy Store, ITunes, Café Sabor, and UDOT. If any were inadvertently left off the list, we also want to thank them as well. Cris Schuz, Stake President Scott Palmer, and the volunteer adults would also like to thank UDOT for the care and concern they had in helping to protect the youth as they walked the sides of I-80 cleaning up the trash. A special thank you to all of the youth for their time and efforts to help beautify Summit County! Over 35 volunteers embraced a chilly Saturday morning to dig and plant 17 trees at Francis town center. Project leader Eagle Scout candidate Eric Adair’s efforts at recruiting volunteers and securing donated materials allowed this to be the largest TreeUtah project in the state. According to Jeff Ward, President of TreeUtah, it was also the most smoothly run tree planting completed in the shortest period of time. More trees were planted in less time than any other planting due to the advanced preparations of Eric Adair and Francis Councilman Lee Snelgrove. Kamas Valley Lions Club member Jason Barto said: “I like to look at it as the beginning of years of reward.

That feeling gets reignited every time someone visits the trees. The great thing about trees is that they keep on giving.” Jason continued: “With the problems challenging our country today, it is refreshing to see a group of hardworking youth. It gives one hope that the old fashion ethics of hard and honest work are being passed down to another generation.” Saturday’s Tree Planting project was valued at over $9,000 and was completed with minimal impact to the taxpayers of Francis. That shows the power of cooperation and community service. Thanks to TreeUtah for their invaluable contribution and guidance, Francis Councilman John Keyes for his time helping plant the trees, Councilman Lee Snelgrove for bringing this project to traffic violations at about 1AM. He was driving with his headlights off - which is against the law. The car did not stop, but the Mitsubishi Montero proceeded east on Interstate I-80 at speeds reaching 104 miles per hour. During the chase, the suspects lobbed a cash register at pursuing deputies which was determined to have come from the Legers Deli in the Redstone area of Kimball’s Junction. The two were apprehended after their vehicle’s tires were spiked - once by Henefer and once by Morgan County Sheriff’s department in Morgan County. Sheriff’s deputies utilized a P.I.T. maneuver a few miles into Morgan County.

If the math was done correctly, that is 52 descendants and they are doing “just fine”. Maude has dictated a few “thoughts” and experiences to share with everyone. She recalls being baptized in the font in an addition east of the original Vernal Stake Tabernacle. It is not longer there, as it was removed for the renovation for the Vernal LDS Temple. She was the first Primary President of the Dutch John Utah Branch and second Relief Society President for the LDS Church. She was Relief Society President in both North Ogden and Duchesne. For Maude, it was common to see her busy on her sewing machine keeping it rather busy making any clothes for her three daughters and other people who needed her expertise! She was a dancer, and danced in high school - says “she would still love to do more!” She has a nice alto voice and has used it quite a lot in her lifetime. This year, on her 99th birthday, she says that her most favorite things to do is to watch her great granddaughter grow - and they are together several days of the week while living in Echo with her daughter, Anne. Maude has lived in Vernal, Utah; Long Beach California during World War II, Dutch John during the building of Flaming Gorge Dam; Duchesne; Castledale; Ogden; Salt Lake; and Provo. She has grown up with the horse and buggy days to witness the space travel and the invention of the computer - which still amazes her. Anne, her youngest daughter, says “Mom was always her best friend!” There was not always a lot of money in the household, and when Anne wanted a lovely dress for a dance Go Classifieds!
