CONTINUED FROM FRONT They were all drilling as if in a school / emergency situation where one person was down, another was a suspect and was being held down in the hallway. They "played" out the scene as it actually was happening, then were critiqued on what they did and how they may have done it better. Shots were fired, in and out of the classroom, and taking care of the "patient" and suspect all as they might do it in real life. The trainer was videoing it for future class discussion, and the entire time for this lasted only a few minutes, but which seemed like a long time.

For Boy Scout Troop 904 from Farmington, another activity is part of their annual trip: Community Service. Over the past several years, Scout leaders have included an Eagle Scout project as part of their annual camping trip. This year, Eagle Scout candidate Jackson Matsen coordinated a tree care workshop at the Francis City Park. Jackson with 11 other scouts and five scout leaders provided continuing maintenance for 25 trees. Eighteen of those trees were planted as part of an Eagle Scout Project in the spring of 2008 by Francis resident Eric Adair. The Scout arrived at 9:00 and started with a brief educational session by Certified Arborist and Kamas Valley Lions Club Community Forestry Director A. Jason Barto. They discussed the contributions that trees make to our communities including: cleaning up the air; providing cleaner water and reducing soil erosion; providing food and habitat for wildlife: and providing shade and wind breaks. The scouts then set out and removed the understory vegetation that was competing with the trees for moisture and nutrients. Next, used coffee grounds were spread out to provide an organic, slow release source of nitrogen and phosphorous. The scouts then placed weed barrier down and finally covered the weed barrier with three to four inches of wood mulch, making sure to keep four to six inches of clearance from the trunk of the tree. The scouts also helped pick up the branches that were removed during structural pruning provided by ArborDocs, LLC. Photos Courtesy T. Lorax Francis Council member Kristi Major said, "It is great to see the contributions that the Kamas Valley Lions Club and a couple of Eagle Scout projects have done to help our Community Forest in Francis. The great thing about working with trees is that you leave a positive legacy for multiple generations in the future. The service of the Boy Scouts is invaluable to us. Because of our small size, we do not have the manpower to tackle the tasks we need done. Francis Town is so very grateful to Jackson Matsen and Troop 904 from Farmington for their help in this tree project. They are a great example of the young leaders of tomorrow." This project tallied over 95 hours of service valued at over $2000.00 dollars. This amount will help Francis Town meet the Tree City USA criteria of spending $2 per capita for tree care. Wood mulch was donated by Blazzard Lumber, Kamas Valley Nursery and ArborDocs, LLC. Francis Town provided the weed barrier and use of the City Backhoe with operator and Maintenance Director Luke Thomas. Summit County Health Dept. interviews Second re-advertised candidates CHERYL OVARD SCN Editor Monday morning, July 19, the Summit County Board of Health along with SC Manager Bob Jasper and Personnel Director Brian Bellamy spent the majority of the morning interviewing the second go-around of candidates. Six candidates were interviewed by the SC Board members John Hanrahan, Carma Burns, Jimmie Gines, Carolyn Hollingshead, and Robert Winn, MD. Not present were Judith Jung and Chair Candace Erickson. SC Manager Bob Jasper stated that "...they are checking the background of three or four of those interviewed, and will narrow it down to two from this battery of candidates to interview with the two previous finalists from the first go-around. Hopefully, this will take place for the final interviews by the end of the month." In the meantime, the Interim Summit County Health Director is Brent Ovard. Chair Candace Erickson stated in the May Board of Health meeting that they felt then should be a re-advertisement because two of the four finalists dropped out before the interview date. "We have some candidates who seem more serious this time," stated Candace to reporter on Saturday. Two of the four re-advertised candidates were interviewed via the web.
