PRICE Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – A mother was enjoying a family boat trip across Lake Powell last week when she heard a scream and splash. Her 2-year-old son had slipped off their houseboat and into the water. Chelsey Russell, a 35-yearold mother of two from Lakewood, Colorado, jumped in to rescue her son. She managed to keep the toddler above water for five agonizing minutes until a relative pulled him safely back onto the boat. But by that point, Russell was unconscious. She was pulled from the water and rushed to shore at the nearby marina, where bystanders and officials performed CPR.

So he returned to the vessel to retrieve a motorboat they had been towing. The knots tethering it were so tight that he had to cut them with a knife. Russell was in the water for at least five minutes before her brother could reach them and take the conscious toddler from her chest. Throughout that time, she kept her son above water, her family told authorities. “She was holding the baby out of the water the best that she could,” Eldredge said. The sheriff said neither Russell nor her son wore life jackets. They are required for boaters under 12, according to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The sheriff’s office was waiting for the Utah medical examiner to determine Russell’s cause of death, but Eldredge did not know when the medical examiner would make a ruling. “There are no words to convey the tragedy of losing a loved one like this,” Teri Tucker, acting superintendent for the recreation area, said in a statement. “Our hearts are with the family and friends of the victims during this time of unexpected pain and loss.” It’s the sixth death at the recreation area this year. Russell’s co-workers at a Denver law firm remembered her as a “superstar” attorney, mother and marathon runner who competed in a 100-mile race last year. “She was a talented lawyer, loved by everyone in this firm,” attorney Keith Tooley said Friday. “She was just a rock star here. Her passing has just crushed us all.” nue for the community services group to put toward programs. The YMCA uses the meals for kids in a local after-school program. Administration director Jenni Ericksen said packaged snacks would be the alternative for kids. “We wouldn’t do hot meals, for sure,” Ericksen said. Nothing on the menu is processed or fried and every meal comes with fresh fruits and vegetables. Nutrition program manager Hayden Seeley says kids are given food seven times before the staff considers whether to pull the item. “Brussels sprouts weren’t popular,” he admits. “But lima beans were a huge success.” Pork is excluded due to certain religious beliefs and nuts are eschewed to avoid exposing kids who are allergic. “We are exposing them to a much more sophisticated menu than you would think,” he said. Ericksen said the kids mostly like the meals. “They love the rice and beans and surprisingly they like the salads,” she said. “It’s amazing how much they will try.” Meals also come with lean meats and bread and pasta made from whole grains. “They’re never going to get hot dogs, they’re never going to get pizza,” he said. The pilot program has grown from 300 daily meals five years ago. The kitchen expects to serve 5,000 meals this school year and has the capacity to serve 6,000. “We are scrambling to meet demand,” said Seeley. “No one else is really offering such highquality meals.” Nonprofit serves kids healthful meals Associated Press * New patients only, insurance will be billed if available.

Officials with Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which encompasses the 186-mile-long lake along the Utah-Arizona border, said the boy was in stable condition and flown to a hospital about 200 miles away in Flagstaff, Arizona, as a precaution. The houseboat had been traveling about 8 mph toward shore when the boy, playing with another child, somehow fell off, San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge said Friday. After Russell jumped in, her brother stopped the boat and hopped in after his sister, leaving Russell’s mother and at least one other child aboard. The boat had kept moving after Russell went in and the man Utah BLM to get new director Associated Press The newly named director of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Utah will take the role at a time of high tension over public lands in the West. Edwin L. Roberson has been a leader with the bureau for 37 years, the Deseret News reported. “Ed is a good listener, a proven coalition-builder and a natural leader. We are fortunate to have his experience and expertise in Utah,” BLM Director Neil Kornze said. “Ed has guided some of the agency’s most important work during his career, and his experience working with local communities makes him the perfect fit for this job.” He will step into a job on Oct. 3 that Juan Palma vacated over a year ago. There are 23 million acres of public land and 32 million acres of mineral and energy resources under the purview of Utah bureau staff. Utah has been the site of several spats between the govern- ment and residents. An ATV protest ride against the bureau’s road closures led to criminal convictions for some. Federal sage grouse conservation plans prompted lawsuits from Utah and some other Western states. The Utah bureau became the first in the country to put off selling an oil and gas lease in light of a planned protest from the Keep It in the Ground Movement. Wild horse and burro management has also been the cause of controversy and a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Interior from ranchers. |
