Sanders of Milford, Utah, has departed for a six-month overseas deployment to the Persian Gulf aboard the aircraft carrier USS Horn Silver Mine — By Norman Baxter: Many know more about the Horn Silver Mine than I do but I will tell it as I have heard of it. Originally the location was found by some stockmen, who filed the first. claim. Later they were to sell it for five thousand dollars. The mine was to become one of the richest in the West. Many years ago I read a financial report that stated that the Horn Silver, up to 1930 had paid _ more than 150 million dollars in dividends to its stockholders. That would only be fraction of its total out-put. The original mine was located west of the present shaft. The ore bodies were so near the surface and such huge quantities of ore removed that the mine caved in. The sheer cliff remains, indicating the vastness of the cave-in. nie it happened at night and between shifts and resulted is one of more than 5,600 Sailors Nimitz. Sanders and Marines aboard the carrier who departed Bremerton, Wash. for the journey to the Middle East and Western Pacific Ocean. Sanders traveled more than 17,000 miles before entering the Persian Gulf. Sanders’ ship leads a battle group that includes more than 10,000 Sailors and Marines, 80 tactical aircraft, and ships and submarines armed with more the ‘im no deaths. cruise Tomahawk missiles. The 78 aircraft aboard Sanders’ ship have flown 2,500 That this was a very rich mine is attested to by its very name "Horn Silver". Pure silver is soft and malleable. Rock pressure forced the silver out of vugs and Grech and it tended to cur., forming a replica of a Rams horn. Thus the name, "Horn Silver". One summer, about 1930, I stayed with my older brother and family, he aed as the bookkeeper. During that time I became acquainted with an old miner, remembered only as "Dutch". He showed me his lease which was located west of the mine. The tunnel ran back under the hill and was unusual in that the walls were so smooth. He had hand picked the entire length and it went straight since sorties embarking on the six month journey. _ Sanders and fellow crew members spent more than 150 days at sea last year training for a variety of situations they might encounter during the deployment. They replaced the USS Independence Battle Group, which § been had PAGE 2 as an arrow back under the hill. I asked him about it so he showed me that in the afternoon, the sun Qperating in the Western Pacific Ocean and Persian Gulf enforcing the no-fly zone over Southern Iraq. Sanders will travel approximately 30,000 miles eke returning to the United States in the spring. While in the Persian Gulf, Sanders and fellow Sailors and Marines will support the pile of 10 ae reflected back under the mountain. At the end of the tunnel was a large cavern where he had removed afew shipments of ore, which he said had run 800 ounces of Silver per ton. It was so near to the surface that the sage brush roots hung down from overhead. | MHS Students of theWeek squadrons stationed aboard the 1,096 foot long ship. Sanders and fellow shipmates have visited two ports so far in the voyage. Sanders spent Christmas — in Hong Kong and New Years in Singapore. While in port, many crew members volunteered their time to participate in community service projects and local sporting events. Sanders’ involvement is an example of how U.S. men and women are serving cea air craft carriers around the world from the Persian Gulf and the Western Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. These highly trained Naval Forces can respond on short notice to crises around the world, and can dominate coastal and ocean areas while projecting sustained power and presence wherever US. interests — are involved.- The 1993 graduate of Milford High School joined the Navy in July 1993.

About this time services were extended to long term (nursing home) clients. - It was immediately evident to the board members that the old building was totally inadequate for the purpose to which it was being put. Structural defects rendered it non- approved by the Utah John's Service Station | - State Board of Health. Operation on a provisional license was permitted, since ways and means for the construction of a new hospital were being investigated. After efforts to establish interest in a county hospital failed and the service area act was. passed by the 1959 Utah Legislature, a petition to establish Beaver Count Service Area No. 2 was presented to the County Commissions incorporating the west end of the County. On July 8th 1960 .the Beaver County Commissioners passed Ordinance No. 87 creating Beaver County Service Area’ NO.2. it was soon discovered that the new law was flawed and not until June Sth 1961 was the service area reorganized. At that time a five member board of trustees was appointed to oversee the service area. This pattern of government continues today. A four-mill tax levy was placed on property in Beaver County Service Area No.2 in 1961 Tax Year. A Bond Election passed by an 85% majority in December 18 1961. In August of 1962,. the hospital board sold bonds in the amount of $160,000,00 to finance the building of a new hospital. Application for assistance under the Hill-burton Act was made in October 1962. On December 19,1962 an allocation of federal funds was made for the construction of the hospital. After a ground breaking in June of 1964, construction of the 20 bed facility. Core facilities were planed for possible enlargement of services to a 50 bed unit. In June of 1965 the dream was realized; the business of caring for the sick and injured of Western Beaver County was moved to the ee: completed modern building. During the 28 years since opening, 3 remodeling efforts have resulted in the addition of 8 patients beds, expanded storage and office space and most recently a clinic facility to accommodate the practice of 3 physicians and or physicians. assistants. Other services added since opening the original building are a Home Health Agency, Ambulance Services for Both Minersville and Milford, staffed with 35 Certified EMTs, full time respiratory services and a physical therapy department. The laboratory is equipped with the latest in electronic devices and new X-tay equipment isin place. Staffing includes 24 hour registered nurse coverage, and an auxiliary nursing staff of licensed LPNs and certified nursing assistants. Community support has always played an important part in the existence of the health care facilities in this area. Without the financial and emotional suEp Or of the people here the success of the entire health program would be diminished. i entertaining to my children, has not produced an answer to this dilemma. Actually, I've decided it’s not hearing that's the actual problem.. It's listening. And the cure isn’t found in the doctors office. Radical as it may seem, children must be taught to listen. First, we must become good listeners ourselves. When your child talks to you, give him your attention. Turn down the television. Stop your _-work. Make eye contact. Respond to what he is saying. Recognize that children who can parrot back our instructions are not necessarily listening. Ask children to summarize or restate instructions in their own words to check for comprehension. Plan listening activities. Use stories on tape. Play music. Do a "story round" where one begins to make up a story, pauses at a cliffhanger and turns the story over to _ the next person to continue, with the _ story passing from person to person. (This one is especially helpful on long trips when you've mistakenly left behind the Family Game Boy and ’ there's nothing fun to fight over.) In short, before you rush your child to the doctor with the clear and certain belief that he or she is deaf, try teaching listening skills. Even if it's not covered insurance. by your health _ |
