Fashionista passion for Br Vtftai ftanina Uintah Basin News Service As a fashion consultant, Phyllis Jones was comfortable wearing beaded gowns and accompanying ac-companying clients to Belgium or France for a day of shopping. But just over three years ago, Jones traded it all in for reinforced steel-toed boots, a hard hat, jeans and a golf shirt in order to be properly attired for her new job as office manager at Basin Industries, one of the largest privately-owned metal recyclers in Utah. "I love it here," Jones said. "I love seeing the lives that this strange little business touches. This is a lot more fun than corporate cor-porate America." The lives the business has touched include those of the employees who work for Scott Bingham, owner and operator of Basin Industries in Naples. The company has also given new life to the metals that are eventually eventu-ally returned to industry rather than being buried forever in a landfill. "Metal can be melted down and back in circulation within days," Jones explained. A Vernal native, Jones is passionate about what she has witnessed in the 3Vi years she has been working in the recycling industry. A few years after the death of her first husband, she married mar-ried a man from the Basin and returned to Vernal. She wasn't looking for a job, but Bingham, a friend of Jones' brother, came by and asked if she would use her managerial experience to help him out. The Express Glenn Jenks Our father Glenn Jenks, age 79, passed away doing what he loved helpingthose in the Native American Church. He enjoyed ranching, his horses and cows with his sons, rodeos, fishing, hunting, and gambling with his wife and family.

The permeating smell of oil and rusting iron was a definite contrast to her previous employment employ-ment where she managed a computer com-puter game development company. com-pany. In that job, Jones traveled extensively dealing with people in many foreign countries. Prior to joining Basin Industries Indus-tries as its office manager, Jones, amother of three grown children, ran her own consulting business in Or em. While corporate executives execu-tives were at business seminars, they often attended one of Jones' workshops to learn how to dress for success. After the classes, Jones, a refined and elegant woman, accompanied clients on exotic shopping tours through Europe and the United Sates. Her fashionable attire and accessories, once worn while attending at-tending corporate receptions and formal balls, are now stored in a shed in the back of her Vernal home; replaced by a more functional func-tional wardrobe. Instead of making millionaires million-aires glamorous by dressing them in the most fashionable wardrobe, Joneshelps to beautify the Basin by reusing refuse. She has no regrets. "I had no idea about the volume vol-ume of recyclable goods that are produced. It has been delightful to see the things we can salvage and turn into reusable items," Jones said. "I want people to know that recycling is alive and well in the Basin." Jones wanted area residents to know about Basin Industries after reading a story in last We would like to thank all those at the Uintah Care Center who took such good care of our mom.

The story stated that an aluminum can thrown away in the Basin was most likely destined for the landfill. Jones recognizes that curb-side curb-side recycling was problematic, but anyone who wants to reduce the amount of metal going into the waste stream could find a place to recycle. "We get people in with 50 pounds of cans," Jones said, acknowledging those who want to improve the environment as well as beautify their own yards. "Sometimes they don't even want to be paid; they just want the metal to find a home." Still Jones recognizes that plastic and glass have no local recycling options. - "The reason we don't recycle plastic and glass is because we don't have a railroad. Rail is less expensive than trucks.". Using trucks to transport plastic and glass, and even newspaper for recycling requires subsidies, either from fees as We would like to exoress 7 Vu ! mm i- iiinf m die Uintah Basin Hospice for their love and support with Doug Massey.
