OPINION PAGE SUMMIT COUNTY NEWS A2 FEBRUARY 27, 2015 LOCAL NEWS NOTES COALVILLE LIONS MEETING SCHEDULE It is time for the next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 3, at 7 p.m., at the Coalville City Hall. Remember, Fishing is "Year 'Round" Relax once in a while and pick up the "pole" yes - the pole for dipping in the river! Whether you enjoy the fly fishing or the live bait, it is still something all ages can do and enjoy! The weather is sometimes questionable, but the fun is the same! "Throw the line in... sit and wait... and then a "jerk" is felt!" That tug at the line could mean a fish, or in my case and invariably, a "snag"! It is a great family sport, and time to just sit and watch the water flow, the ice still on the banks in some places, and then the "real bite" hits! The rewards are many. Time to contemplate, to remember when you went with "grandparents" or "aunts and uncles" or just alone with your thoughts! Fishing is not for "just any age" - it is for ALL AGES! Nowadays we can purchase the license online, and away we go! The river is close by in many Summit County areas, and the time is good! Fishing can be fun! Try it, you will like it!" Recycling Tip For The Week... Be the change you want to see BY ZACH SROKA Our air is polluted, there's a ton plastic in the oceans, and the climate is changing rapidly—and that's just the tip of the iceberg... There are so many environmental problems in the world right now that it's easy to get overwhelmed and depressed about the current state of things. But instead of moping around, do something about it! There are a lot of nonprofits and other volunteer organizations in Summit and Wasatch Counties to get involved with. By volunteering at one (or many), you are not only doing good for your community, but for the whole world too! Here's a list of some great environmental nonprofits around the area and their mission statements: • Recycle Utah - "Recycle Utah's Vision is the creation of a Zero Waste Plan in order to eliminate waste and pollution in the manufacture, use, storage and recycling of materials." • Friends of Kings Peak"Friends of Kings Peak is for outdoor enthusiasts who love Kings Peak and the surrounding High Uintas Wilderness.

Old Happenings From Coalville Times Miss Verina and 1909 Lilly Buckmiller, Lilie Gilchrist and Ruth Toone gave a dance in the hall, but due to the bad weather, few attended, "very discouraging to the girls who did their best to liven up the town by engaging the Devil's Slide music which was fine, and did all they could to make it a success, but they did not make expenses at all. Through the aid of some charitable young men who took up another collection managed to meet the expense of $14.00 to pay off the musicians. If other towns do not help Echo out once in a while: We think it best to say: "NEVER AGAIN." CT 16:35 3se 1909 p.8 - 1909 - David Moore of Castle Rock has reported to the sheriff's office that someone had stolen four wheels off his buggy at Castle Rock. The vehicle was out in the field, and it is evident that someone very much in need of wheels deliberately took them and they discarded their old wheels a little farther down the county road. The sheriff is on the trail. Deputy Sheriff Wilde went to Ogden on Tuesday and located the party who stole Mr. Moore's wheels and after making the thief pay for the wheels and the expense of the sheriff the fellow was turned loose."

Van Der Vlies of Ogden was in and about Coalville last Friday looking for violators of the law. He reported very little fishing being done in this vicinity.
