on the Forest The average is 34 fires for 350 acres The record was 72 fires on the Forest in 1972” “We already have had some hunter caused fires during the elk season” “With the greater Taylor continued number of people out during the deer could become hunt the situation Forest” Turner Oil expands by Dawn Carder In mid September Don and Ella Vee Turner once again broadened their work horizons and responsbilities At that time they bought the Frampton Oil business incorporated it into their own and thus expanded Turner Oil in Fillmore “This buy out” they stated “ is due in part to the declining sale of gas and diesel to the farm accounts” With the decrease in bulk fuel sales Steve and Joyce Frampton decided to sell and concentrate on their tire and auto service business They plan to keep the large transport truck and haul gasoline and diesel for Don The two men have had a working relationship for some time for Steve purchased his tire shop from Don More customers mean more work but additional hours apparently don’t phase Don Days are long for he leaves the house between 7 and 8 am with no “normal” finishing time Unless all work is up to date he never stops until dark According to his wife Don likes to be out and busy and he “has always enjoyed work” And he very much enjoys Don Turner was born and raised in Fillmore while Ella Vee came from Koosharem The first two years after their marriage they lived in California then it was back to Utah to farm in Flowell As a farmer Don discovered that there was no place to get tires recapped so he decided that providing such a service was something he wanted to do He went back to school to learn recapping and realignment and opened his own shop That was the starting point from which everything just seemed to mushroom The recapping business was housed behind the gas station which Don eventually bought Later he built what is now Steve’s called it Don’s Tire Shop and offered the services of recapping repairing and selling tires Selling gas and oil became part of the business and the station was affiliated with Conoco Don attended company sponsored meetings and seminars that were learning sessions for him ten years ago the Approximately Turners sold the station to Steve Frampton and concentrated entirely on Turner Oil a bulk oil business Diesel is delivered to farmers one station is serviced and furnace oil is delivered to private homes from Scipio to Kanosh to Oak City and to some Fillmore businesses Don Turner has three trucks which he uses for deliveries Gas and diesel are hauled down by Steve Frampton from refineries in Salt Lake City and truckloads of oil come from Denver Oil the Having bought Frampton Turners now have more customers to service and they are quite busy There is now a need for additional help so plans are being made for the Turner’s to become part of the business The latter will probably move to Fillmore from Seattle Washington with his family in the spring of 1988 Despite the sagging economy people always need oil Consequently Turner Oil has had a rather “even keel” existence Even IPP with the exception of a few temporary customers had little affect on the business The three to four hundred regular include customers as mentioned farmers and homes The farm portion of the business which is greatest in the summer is generally heavier because larger amounts of gas diesel andor oil are bought at a time The sales and deliveries of furnace oil keep business alive and well during the winter months Every day but Sunday Don Turner is out He keeps some delivering customers filled up while others call as the needs arise Deliveries are schedulsered by Ella Vee the“answering vice” as requests are made Along with her husband Ella Vee has always kept busy While doing the daily books for Turner Oil she has managed the home mothered and nurtured nine children and now enjoys She congrandchildren tinues to have mothering responsibilities for the two youngest Turner home-ochildren are still part of the attends Utah State in Logan and the other is a student in Millard High What do the Turners like about Fillmore? “Everything” says Ella Vee “We appreciate the country the town the people” And they are involved in their community where Ella Vee serves as Judge of Election and both try to attend town meetings if time allows the Occasionally Turners go on trips However their main sources of free time activities and enjoyment are their family and their Church Ella Vee is a teacher for the Relief Society Don is the Ward Mission Leader and counselor in Sunday School and both are Stake missionaries The Turner house is filled with wonderful aromas of baking bread and vegetables being prepared for canning Ella Vee tends to her projects the company books and to customer scheduling Don is out on the road delivering gas oil and diesel Lives are busy Turner Oil has expanded Central Utah Project Utah’s Congressional delegation troduced and endorsed a bill on September 30 which would enable completion and construction of the Colorado River Storage Project and its participating projects In unanimous support of the Central Utah Projects’ Bonneville Unit the largest remaing unfinished feature of the Colorado River Storage Project Utah’s Congressional delegation will ask Congress to increase the CRSP ceilIncluded in that ing by $754436340 amount is $132 million to complete the fish and wildlife mitigation package of the Bonneville Unit The projected growth in Salt Lake years County over the next will require an additional 140000 of municipal water Only 70000 of this water or about Zi will be supplied by the Bonneville Unit Adresidents of central Utah ditionally counties have been counting on the delivery of irrigation water for many years This increase in ceiling would allow this to become a reality As early as 1983 the Bureau of Reclamation advised the Congress of the status of the CRSP spending ceiling and the shortfall that would be coming due to increased costs resulting from delays in construction and inflation The CUWCD has been diligently working to keep all costs of construc- - tion at a level that would economically benefit the Project as well as keep the construction programs going The is continued vital to construction Utah’s development of its share of the Colorado River and could be severely hampered it additional CRSP funds were not allocated to finish the nearly completed Central Utah Project The CUWCD has developed a plan in conjunction with the United States Bureau of Reclamation that will complete the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project by 1995 It is now up to Congress to move ahead to complete the funding which will insure the final construction in an expeditious manner serious” “Several Forests in the northern portion of the State have instituted closure orders prohibiting open fires or smoking on the Forest” state fire staff officer Larry Theivagt “So far we have elected not to take that approach on the Fishlake so hunters can enjoy a warming fire after the day’s hunt However we are asking everyone to use extreme caution with their fires or smoking and not leave an unattended fire or build fires without clearing a safe area around the fire” “The last significant rain we had in central Utah was in late August” continued Theivagt “Now the humidities are very low and the daytime temperatures are unusually high This has led to a high fire danger with periods of extreme danger” “Because of these weather conditions a fire could quickly become tragic for hunters and thier equipment” said Taylor “All Forest users must make sure any fires they have are dead out before leaving them!” “In a related matter” concluded Taylor “I want to remind all hunters to get a copy of the 1987 edition of the Forest Travel Map We are enforcing the regulations depicted on that map and we don’t want to ruin anyone’s hunt" Accident reports

15 1987 - Page 3 Sylvia Huntsman provides Prison Ministry by Dawn Carder Each Sunday morning after attending services at the Delta Community Church Sylvia Huntsman returns to Fillmore Instead of going home however she goes to the Millard County Jail where she conducts Christian worship for the prisoners She is the voluntary chaplain donating her time and caring to the people she serves Prison at does that mean “In a broad sense” says Sylvia “it is bringing a message of love and reconciliation to the unloveable the outcast the hopeless The message is not so much in the words spoken as in the presence of someone who from the ‘straight’ world who is not paid to serve” The new Millard County facility opened in June 1983 At that time one of Sylvia’s friends was working in the kitchen and the friend became aware of the prisoners’ desires to have a wor- ship service Knowing that Sylvia was a religiously oriented person the friend asked her to become involved That was the beginning For four years Sylvia has continued her ministry with the support of Sheriff Ed Phillips jail administrator John Kimball and the entire jail staff The weekly program is flexible There are prayers hymns sung to taped music and a discussion lesson Sylvia uses materials from Prison Fellowship which are all Bible oriented There is no doctrine-ju- st the Bible Numbers of participants vary from week to week There have been as few as one and as many as twelve The jail has facilities to house prisoners about ten of whom are state All county and state prisoners meet together men separated from women and attendance is voluntary Since Sylvia began her ministry the LDS church began having a service each Sunday evening and a Baptist minister from Richfield has Bible study also on Sunday evenings that her Sylvia readily admits ministry has been both exciting and rewarding “I have loved it from the she said The beginning” very first day she was a little nervous for she had never done anything like this before Seeing and talking with the people has Dorothy Jeffery completes institute Dorothy Jeffery Delta City Clerk recently completed the sixth annual Clerks and Recorders Institute sponsored by the Center for Public Affairs and Administration at the University of Utah The institute coincided with the Utah League of Citizens and Towns convention Sessions dealt with employee skills communication motivation computers business licensing elections management and proposed tax law changes Institute classes help meet education requirements for the Certified Municipal Clerk designation from the Institute of Municipal International Clerks changed her ideas about who is behind she says are prison walls Many young intelligent and interesting to talk to Personally Sylvia says “It is exciting to put into actions what I believe in Too many people just give lip service but don’t take actions” The prisoners who choose to attend services are sincerely interested in changing their lives Sylvia has observed progressions in prisoner attitudes from denial of guilt to admission something that does not occur overnight Over the weeks the prisoners begin to build trust in the woman who takes time to share with them In time she often hears one say “I’m glad I’m in here I had to stop I need time to think” This is why Sylvia firmly believes the prisoners need hope for change as they reconstruction thinking processes and attitudes With the exception of ones sent by the state the prisoners in the Millard County Jail are not strangers They are people from our own communities whom according to Sylvia we tend to forget about when they are locked away They constitute a group of disappointed and rejected people often bitter and hostile to one another They need positive influence However hostile the prisoners are to others they have never behaved in that manner towards Sylvia Huntsman pro“They are perfect gentlemen-vetective of me” she stated They are also very moved to think that someone from the community comes in and cares about them especially someone from “the straight world” who is not paid for her services What happens to prisoners while they are in prison greatly influences the kind of people they will be after they are released Statistics show that 95 percent of those incarcerated will be returned to society once again living with the rest of us Being outcasts and hearing much negativism they in Sylvia’s words “need to hear the one strong voice of Christian forgiveness and newness of life” Feeling rejected and isolated prisoners like everyone else want to feel forgiven and loved The Prison Ministry should Sylvia believes extend beyond the prison walls Families of prisoners are often ostracized and treated badly by members of the community Spouses struggle financially in an attempt to keep the home intact These families along with victims and their families very much need nurturing and sustaining The goal towards which Sylvia Huntsman is working is establishing a nonregular proselytizing ministry to all prisoners in county jails throughout the state of Utah On Sunday she spoke on Prison Ministry in the Kanab Presbyterian Church and she has made initial contact with members of the Mt Pleasant Presbyterian Church for they too have expressed interest Sylvia strongly feels that training for prison volunteers is a MUST Personally she was trained by the Utah State Prison Director of Volunteers Echo session Three times Ney at a in Prison annually she participates Fellowship Seminars at the Utah State Penitentiary Prison Fellowship started by Charles Colson will send a training team down from Idaho for any volunteers free of charge A regional training session would be ideal chaplain: all describe Sylvia Huntsman today She used to be an elementary school teacher she always has been volved in civic activites liking best the ones that have social impact is what Prioritizing commitments Sylvia finds she must do She enjoys time with her husband Dwight and with their five children and nine grandchildren She also obviously is very much involved in her community She of the County served a Fair for East Millard she is an elder the at Church Community in Delta and she is a (Presbyterian) member of the IHC Hospital Board which serves both Fillmore and Delta Many people talk too few act Sylvia Huntsman does the latter following her convictions With the Prison Ministry she touches lives with love and hope She also is rewarded “My own faith has grown enormously simply by being there (in the prison)’’ she admits “Our duty as Christians is only to pass on the good news not to pass judgment on whether or not it is accepted Working with prisoners has helped lay all judgment aside” MILLARD COUNTY FARM BUREAU County
