Rebecca Johnson told the Sun Advocate on Friday the life-threateni- situation ng arose Wednesday night after the chimney on a wood burn- ing stove malfunctioned. Johnson and her six children were transported to Castle-vieHospital in Price. After several hours of treatment, all w were released to return home. When we got there we found seven people all layed out on the lawn," said Castle Dale Fire Chief Kay Jensen. It took three ambulances to take them all to the hospital." Rebecca said the problem could have been more serious, if not fatal, but Daniel came home from work at a local coal mine about 1:30 a.m. He came home and couldnt go right to sleep, so he started reading. That woke me up and I didnt feel good. I went to the sink and collapsed, she said. She tried to get up but couldnt. Rebecca eventually crawled to her husband and alerted him that something wasnt right. I had a terrible headache but I didnt know what was wrong, said Rebecca. Their eight-year-ol- d daughter got up and she fainted in her fathers arms and a third member of the family woke and collapsed. We called 911 but nobody answered, so we called the (Emery County) Sheriffs Office and the dispatcher ognized our problem as carbon monoxide poisoning. He told us to get everybody out of the house and into the fresh air, (Continued on Page SB) Board handles personnel matters and requesting time off for Mr. Labrum to serve on this committee.

"We have seen the breakup of the family and have given it to the government. We have taken away the responsibility of the family to take care of elderly parents and have given it to the government. This has to stop." The candidate said the federal government has been involved in programs that it has no business being involved with. "From entitlement programs to education, from commerce to transportation, the federal government has managed to saddle Americans with a $5 trillion debt at a cost of approximately $18,000 for every man, woman and child. These programs could and should come from the state and local governments," Mr. Way said. i Glenn Way As a business owner, employer and a member of the Home Builder's Association, supporters of Mr. Way believe . that the candidate realizes how burdensome the regulations and taxes are on the businesses of America. "We need to stop penalizingAmericans.Weneed to unleash the American en- trepreneurial spirit that has shaped our great nation," he said. Mr. Way has been laying the foundation for his candidacy since May 1995 and currently has 42 volunteers working on his campaign. |
