Show Barney Trucking driver dies at Elko truck stop , Off the top rH; Ralph Swartzmiller (age 46), a Junction man who drove truck for Barney Trucking, was found dead lying by his truck in Elko, Nevada early Saturday morning, October 25. He had a head injury which left a great deal of blood on his face. Since the blood could only be cleaned by the coroner to reveal the underlying wound, early investigators thought he had been pulled from his truck, shot in the head, and left for dead. Later, however, the autopsy revealed that he had not been shot, but had fallen out of his truck and hit his head. The resulting rupture to the main artery caused him to bleed to death. Although his death is tragic, the family is relieved that it resulted from a freak accident rather than what the early reports indicated. It was for them when they thought that it had been a senseless act of violence as he had not even been robbed in the act. Employees at Barneys speak of Mr. Swartzmiller as a very kind man. He has worked for Barneys about a year. Prior to that he had driven for Ken Johnson for about three years. He was considered to be an experienced trucker with most of his runs going to the Elko and Wendover areas. He was a good guy, hard worker, and as good a truck driver as there is around, reflects Ken Johnson. Beginning Tuesday morning at 5 a.m., 24 truckers from several fleets joined in his memory in making aconvoy doing Ralphs run near Wendover. The run begins at The Continental Lime Pilot Peak Plant 15 miles west of Wendover and ends in Carlin, Nevada, 130 miles. The convoy extended three miles with a Nevada Highway Patrol escort in the front and rear. Barney Trucking had some truckers involved who reported, Its the most awesome thing youve ever seen. The participating truckers will be donating the money they would have received for the run to Ralphs family, an estimated $3,000. When asked what would stir such an outpouring of sympathy from so many, Kelly Barney says, There is a real loyalty among the truckers. Although they drive for different companies, they are out there making the same runs every day and they get real close to each other. Ralph stayed out in Nevada most of the time as do many drivers there. His survivors include his four children who all live in the Salt Lake area, the youngest of which is 16 years old. His funeral will be held Saturday, November at :00 a.m. in the Circleville L.D.S. First Ward. There will be a viewing prior to the 0 service at a.m., and internment will be in the Junction Cemetery following the services. Ralphs truck that he drove for Barney Trucking will lead the funeral procession. by Lori Olsen Door message Decorating the doors on their class rooms was just one of the activities at the register by mailing your name, address, telephone number, and payment toUtahPTA, 037 East South Temple, SLC, UT 84102.

Samuelsen will speak on "Ibsen's An Enemy of the People: A Study in Subversion in the Activity Center at Snow College at 2:30 p.m. The entire college community is invited, as is the general public. Samuelsen, an Ibsen specialist, will provide background and insight into An Enemy of the People, a play assigned to all members of the Snow College Learning Community. The play dramatizes the interplay among idealism, practicality, and the media, voices which compete in almost aijy political decision. Ibsen's play was first produced more than 100 years ago, yet parallel conflicts appear frequently in the news. Environmental conflicts and community issues like development and zoning are other areas in wh ich "qual ity of g life" and "economic may be at odds. Samuelsen sees An Enemy of the People as "subversive" in that it challenges the assumption that government officials know or can decide 1 October3 -- Halloween drawing and Halloween treat. 1 Salina Senior News November 3 Medical trip to Provo, call the center if you are interested.

Last night around prank my two youngest kids caught the pranksters making the rounds. This can be a scary trick for the elderly or young ones at home alone in the evening. Warn your children, according to Police Chief Christensen, of Gunnison, its criminal mischief and kids could get in big trouble with the area pol ice. Also, the smash ing pumpkins ritual can make a mess around town and kids can be charged with vandalism and'or criminal mischief. Police Chief Woodside, of Salina, reminds Dont eat any of your treats before your Mom or Dad checks through them. I think that a few stops at family and friends gives the younger children all the candy they need and eases concern about tampered treats. But its those kids between 10 and 13 years old that I worry about. They arent old enough to be running around town unsupervised, yet they dont want mom or dad hanging around. They want to be on their own. And my year old boy doesnt have the sense to be careful. He will be concentrating on chasing a good time. Period! If you must wear a dark costume, make sure you have light reflecting strips or something to illuminate you. You dont want to end up like a smashed pumpkin. And always go in a group of friends. There is safety in numbers. Now, mom and dad, I have a few tips for you. Those Halloween treats can sabotage any weight loss or maintenance program, but if were careful we can make it through.
