Show 4A Emery County Progress Wednesday, June 12, 1985 bulletin board ; lias it vomv ht this ? ii' According to policy by Larry W. Davis Since we're running a series of articles on Progress policy, we'd be remiss if we didn't include some of the singular guidelines which do not necessarily envelope an entire department or section of the paper but which are, nontheless, vital to the effective completion of the newspaper. At the forefront of our newspaper policy at the Progress is the rule: If it ain't Emery, it ain't Since not everything that comes through our office relates directly to the local level, we have two choices if we are to remain within this policy guideline. We can either wad and chuck or we can localize. To localize a story which is seemingly not local, we simply need only bring in something relevant to Emery County. For example, if we receive a press release about a contest in Grand Junction which begins, "Kids in Grand Junction opened Week with a heck of a water fight today," a few modifications can bring it right up to our policy standards. Here's what I mean. "Kids, much like the kids here in Emery County, from Grand Junction, which is a couple hundred miles east of where we live, Week, which is also celebrated in our neck of opened the woods, with a heck of a water fight today using water similar to the kind we have here in Emery County." Another matter of policy at the Progress is: When in doubt, make it vague. A lot of what we attempt to cover is complex, far too esoteric for our simple minded staff. Rather than ignore these matters, we simply call upon this policy to bail us out. Here's an example from a recent story on drug charges: "The sheriff's office indicated that there are a few more warrents to be served in either Carbon or Emery County or perhaps both but the charges were uncertain A spokesman atlhough they appear to be matter but in the said he wasn't sure about the background 2 for details." suggested watching Newswatch Another important policy, one we couldn't function without, is: Leave the editor alone until he's had at least three cups of coffee. This is especially important on a Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Prior to the implementation of this policy, several innocent bystanders had been assaulted in the halls of the Professional Building for simply saying, "Good morning." Going hand in hand with this rule is our policy: If you want it in the paper, be nice to the editor. . While anyone who breaks the rule about the three cups of coffee will have no chance of getting the editor's cooperation, those who wait for him to have the" coffee and are then nice to him have an excellent chance of getting their story in, especially if they staple a $5 bill to the copy. Progress paper policy for staff members also includes: If you don't want to talk to anyone, put a note on the door. We've all used this many times, especially after a controversial story has appeared in the paper. However, to take this policy a step further, we must also refrain from using truthful notes such as, "Closed indefinitely! Too paranoid to speak to the public." Under these circumstances we call on our handy supply of notes which includes, "Gone to the post office." "Having lunch." "Gone to the bank." "Home watching the Cubs' game." Variations of the note policy include: "When unwanted guests arrive, slip into the darkroom." "The bathroom is just up the hall. Use it to avoid pesky publicity seekers." "Return calls only when you know no one is home." We follow policy closely at the Progress. In fact, that's one of our policies. "Always follow policy closely." However, we do have the option of changing policy when we feel it will make tor a better newspaper. After all, we have our readers to think of. em-portan- t. 4-- 4-- Wool contest The Make It Yourself With Wool contest, held each year in conjunction with the Emery County Fair, is being organized for 1985.

The families were stunned and as time went by, the realization that the 27 miners would remain in the Wilberg mine for an indefinite time pushed the families into deeper shock, but not only were the families affected, so were all the people in the area, as well as others around the world who knew mining or knew some of the victims. Their sympathy flowed in abundance. Every hand that possibly could was held out in support to us kind words, sympathy, donations and love was given. At that time, we held our in- - individual thank you messages. Still people held out their hands to hold us up. They have thought that after we laid our husbands, sons, and daughter to rest we could express our appreciation to all again, but time goes on, and we need to take time to express our thanks now to so many people. The Memorial Day service that we held at the Wilberg Mine filled the desperate need to pay tribute to our loved ones entombed in the mine. Verbally, we recognized only those we honored that day. Everyone respected this wish, so now we want to express our thanks to Don Childs of Emery Mining for the tremendous amount of preparation given in order to turn the parking lot into a beautiful outdoor site. We want thank Emery Mining for the beautiful floral pieces. Dixon Peacock made a plaque that was placed on the large wreath of red and white carnations. The podium and table were arranged with more beautiful flowers. The United Mine Workers Union of America sent a 6 ft. by 6 ft. wreath with the 27 miners names on it. District 2176 and many other into dividuals sent flowers. We want to thank all of them for their thoughtfulness. There were many people who came to support us and we want to thank them. First, we want to thank our families for their support. We want to thank Dean Bryner and Dee Jens from UP&L, Niel Savage, Luke Savage, Bill Zeller, Ray Christensen, Joe Abbott, and Don Childs from Emery Mining, Richard Cordova, Wally Oviatt, Brad Reed and Gary Pilling from UMWA District 22 and Dennie Swaggart and Fred Crespin from UMWA District 2. Our thanks to Father Constantine Palassis for his prayer and words of comfort, to Connie McCourt, Van and Kendall Gardner for their songs. We also wish to thank the media for respecting our request for privacy. We realize that you have supported us and extended to us many acts of kindness. Again, I just want to say to everyone how much we all appreciate your kindness.
