Show Vernal 'Samaritan' rescues sick boy Danny Reynolds had no idea what would be required of him when he was flagged down by a woman and a 10-year-old boy last week in Nine Mile Canyon, but he willingly stopped. Reynolds, a National Oilwell employee, was on his way home to Vernal Thursday, Sept. 23, when he stopped for Leslie Jewkes and a fourth grade student stu-dent who had begun suffering suffer-ing chest pains as their Castle Heights Elementary group was hiking to see rock drawings and an ancient Native American dwelling site. Most of the students and the bus driver were on a hike 20 minutes away in this remote Carbon County location. The concerned teacher had taken the boy to the road hoping to flag down assistance when Reynolds discovered them. '"He was so willing to help us. He told us he would take us anywhere," any-where," Jewkes says in praise of their benefactor, adding, "He never told us that he would have been turning to go home to Vernal just a few miles down the road. He was so kind to Zak. As we drove, he kept asking how Zak was doing while keeping keep-ing everything nice and calm." When the vehicle got in range for a cell phone call, Reynolds contacted the boy's mother and arranged to meet her so that she De Anna Coon and Snana WitDeck present meir horses to judge Karmel Clay (front) during the showmanship at halter competition of the Rising Star open schooling show.

Vernal Volunteers help Volunteers abound throughout Utah, and the Vernal area is no exception. Glade Allred, supervisor of the Vernal City Street Department, has had lots of volunteer help from local businesses as he and his crew prepare Rex, the big green dinosaur, for a permanent power supply. Rex was also the recipient of volunteer generosity generos-ity as he was dressed in his fall harvest costume. Bob Ufford of Ufford's Insulation Service donated six hours of his time to spray poly-urethane poly-urethane foam insulation onto the frames that became the carrot car-rot and pumpkin that adorn Rex's home across from the post office. He also coated the insulation and painted the giant vegetables with a quick drying paint that withstands the weather. weath-er. The total cost of Ufford's time, equipment and supplies came to nearly $1,000. He charged the city a mere fraction of that cost. Ufford said he did it because he enjoys giving back to the community. "It's neat that tourists tour-ists take pictures of Rex," said Ufford. When friends and family fam-ily of the tourists see the pictures, pic-tures, they may be enticed to include Vernal on their next vacation.

School food services to get new storage facilities During the Uintah School District Board of Education meeting of Sept. 28, board members approved $610,000 to improve food storage for the district. The project will involve an expansion of the existing School Food Service building located at the corner of 100 W. and 200 S. The old school district office building, which has housed the Can Do Crew for the last several sever-al years, was torn down to make room for a parking area for the expanded building. The warehouse will be constructed con-structed on the east side of the existing building. It will extend north across what is now a driveway and east into the sanded portion of the back parking lot of the old Ashley Valley High School. A loading load-ing and receiving dock will be constructed on the south side of the warehouse, which will keep large trucks in the parking park-ing lot rather than on the street.

Russell Anderson, coordinator coordina-tor of the School Food Service program for the past eight years, said the expansion is necessary for two major reasons. First, many food suppliers have gone to mainly frozen foods over the last several years. Existing freezer and cooler space is not adequate to store these food items. Second, Anderson wants to be able to offer a wider variety vari-ety of foods to the students, which will result in overall better bet-ter nutrition. Food is delivered to 10 cafeterias caf-eterias at a rate of two locations per day. Each cafeteria stores food for a five day period. There are fewer schools than cafeterias cafete-rias because Todd Elementary and West Junior High School share a cafeteria and because Vernal Middle School supplies the meals for Ashley Education Center.

Vernal man arrested after brandishing weapon Uintah County Sheriffs Deputy Kevin Orr responded to a Uintah County residence last Thursday on a report of criminal crimi-nal mischief and a person brandishing bran-dishing a weapon.

Another person struggled to get the gun away from the suspect. The suspect left in a vehicle, taking the weapon with him. Orr requested an attempt to locate the suspect and vehicle.
