Wed Thu 316 317 YemaLExpress, : ( ) Sandbagging correctly Christofferson prevents flood damage waives preliminary Filling and using sandbags correctly is an effective way to prevent or reduce flood water damage. Although they cannot can-not become a guaranteed water seal, when bags are properly filled and placed they act as a barrier to divert water around buildings rather than through them. Untreated burlap sacks, available at hardware and feed stores, are the most commonly used for sandbagging. Heavy, sandy soil works better for sandbagging than fine sand, which can leak out through the weave of the bag. Fine sand can be used if double bagging is done. Gravel and rocky soils are less effective because of their permeability. Filling sandbags is a two-person operation. One person holds the empty bag open, folded over at the top, while another person shovels the sand or soil into the opening. Bags should be filled to half their capacity. Bags can be tied or left untied. Untied bags should be folded into a triangle at the opening. The person holding the bag should stand with knees slightly slight-ly flexed to avoid back injury and with face turned to avoid breathing sand or getting sand in the eyes. Once the bags are filled, remove any debris from the area where bags are to be placed. Place the bags lengthwise length-wise and parallel to the direction direc-tion of the water flow. Flatten and flare the tied or folded end. Place succeeding bags on the flared ends of the previous bag and stamp them into place to eliminate gaps and to form a seal. Stagger the joint connections connec-tions when multiple layers of bags are necessary. Properly filled bags are one half to one third full and weigh about 30 to 40 pounds, depending depend-ing on the size of the bags and the type of material with which they are filled. The tied or folded fold-ed portion must be close to the top of the bag to allow the sand to flow and form a flat surface that can mold to the other bags or to the ground. hearing Joe Wayne Christofferson chose to waive his preliminary prelimi-nary hearing which was scheduled sched-uled for Mar. 10 before Eighth District Court Judge John R.

These include driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, operation of a clandestine laboratory, labo-ratory, obstruction of justice and possession of a controlled or counterfeit substance with intent to distribute.

A status hearing will be held April 27. Keep estate records up to date By Claye Robb Contributing Writer What would your family do if you were suddenly out of the picture? Would anyone know what you owned, and where it was located? Would they be able to pay the bills you owe and collect the money due to you? What about important papers like your will? Is there a record of where you keep it? The name of your attorney? Even if you've drawn up the necessary papers to ensure your family's well-being, you need to keep records accessible acces-sible so that whoever is responsible respon-sible can figure out what to do next. Your executor, attorney, spouse, adult child or other reliable party should know where to find your records. As a further service to your family, fam-ily, it is helpful to update your records on a regular basis once a year is ideal. A typical list should include: Where wills and other important papers are kept (do not put in a safe deposit box as your family may need a court order to open it) bank accounts (checking, savings, CDs) investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities) retirement assets (company plans, IRAsKeoghs, annuities) annui-ties) insurance policies (personal, (person-al, property) business interests real estate assets held in trust personal property (jewelry, art, collectibles), with latest appraisals debts you owe money due to you For more information about your estate plan; contact your financial professional, tax advisor or attorney.

Baker Continued from A1 new position he will be a merit employee of the county. He will not receive less pay than in his former position and he will maintain all his benefits and retirement entitlements. Foley said the members of the board have received threatening threat-ening letters and phone calls. One of the threats concerned a letter writing campaign to besmirch the names of the board members. Foley said it is unfortunate that some community com-munity members are drawing conclusions without knowing all the facts. Foley also said the audit that was reported in the Vernal Express wasn't really an audit. "We never thought Evan had his hand in the -till; we just needed to get a handle on the budget. It's a big budget and we needed more information for the board." An outside firm was hired so procedural matters could be properly handled. Foley said the Library Board and Uintah County are on solid legal grounds. He said the issue of a new position for Baker had been discussed "since day one" so the transfer could be made smoothly. As chairman of the board, Foley did not cast a vote on the release of Baker. He votes only when a tie breaking vote is needed. Since the members voted unanimously on the release, Foley's vote was not needed.
