Show f The Gunnison Valley News Wed.. Dec. 7. 1988 Laughs all the way to the Bank The Salina Sun Wednesday. Dec. 1 1 7. 1988 Former resident proves there are no rocks in his head John B. Ewles, former Sal-in- a resident, has proved to the onetime doubters who claimed he had rocks in his head, that his ideas had paid off. Ewles began recycling discarded concrete and asphalt twenty years ago, and today, as he operates in the midst of all the environmental tub thumbing for recycling, Ewles is laughing all the way to the bank. Officially, the father and three son operation is called Ewles Materials Broken Concrete and Asphalt Plant In the past when construction companies jackhammered concrete and asphalt from highways and parking lots, the materials was trucked to a landfill, such as the Coyote Canyon facility in Irvine. Fee for dumping could run as high as $200. Ewles, then an employee of the California Department of Transportation, thought he had a better idea. He acquires his raw material for free, and can literally pro duce his finished product a few minutes later. Todays busted concrete is also todays usable raw material. We save companies the cost of dump fees and fuel expense driving to land fills - not to mention saving them time, Ewles said. He also sees his business as a community service, helping to keep the construction trucks working in Irvine from traveling great distances Motorists using the recently opened leg of Alton Parkway and other areas, are riding over Ewles recycled materials. The company is also under contract to provide the base material for the San Diego Freeway land additions now being built Ewles says he has nearly $5 million invested in the IRvine operation and a similar one in Stanton. The business has bought him a and jamming busy Orange County freeways. Huge dumpster trucks laden with broken concrete and asphalt slabs go to the Ewles facility near the adjacent marine Corps Helicopter base. A magnet separates the iron and steel, and construction companies use this material as the bottom compaction layer between dirt and the pavement used in building highways and parking lots. home in the exclusive Turtle Rock neighborhood of Irvine. Weve ground up Disneylands Main Street a couple of times, and sold the material right back to them,, he said. The company is regularly monitored by inspectors from the county and the Air Quality Management District Ewles and his sons are also pilots, and say that living next door to the Marine helicopter base is OK. Were pilots ourselves, and we know theyve got a job to do, Ewles said. Crop insurance teleconference set The drought of 1988 has brought vividly to mind the potential for crop losses, and the need for growers to consider the need to protect assets from the financial results of a disaster year. Even with a good water storage system such as we benefit from here in the Sevier Valley, a couple of snow short years could mean trouble. This year some losses are being covered directly by disaster assistance payments from the federal government. However, it has been the intent of congress that Multiple Peril Gop Insurance should replace disaster programs. Therefore it may be unrealistic to expect disaster programs in the future. Thursday, December 8, from 2:-- - to 3:30, Kansas State University Extension Service will present on Westar V Channel 20 - this is a satellite channel - a teleconference on Risk Management Strategies Utilizing Multiple Peril Crop Insur- - ance. The objectives of the prowill be to provide farmers with gram information on: the use of Multiple Peril Crop Insurance as part of a risk management plan. the provisions of the crop insurance program including APH and current rate structure. the role of farm programs and alternative marketing plans in combination with crop insurance in providing a risk management program for growers. If you have access to this programming, please watch it. If not, Utah State University Extension Service will record the program and make viewing opportunities available in your area.

Utah anglers gear up for ice fishing Avid Utah anglers are gearing up for winter fishing as major waters across the state begin to freeze. Popular trout waters like Bear Lake, Scofield, Strawberry and East Canyon reservoirs will offer excellent fishing through the ice from late December through February. Other popular ice fishing spots are Yuba and Deer Creek reservoirs for yellow perch, Willard Bay for crappie and Manuta Reservoir for bluegill. Although safe ice conditions are still a few days away on most waters, now is the time for anglers to prepare for this unique fishing outing. There is a vast array of specialized equipment that the serious ice angler might want to consider. A short, stiff rod designed for ice fishing is a good investment, as are an assortment of atrractor type ice fishing lures. Still, the average angler can catch fish through the ice with standard fishing gear and most natural baits, such as meal worms, grubs, salmon eggs and cheese. An essential tool is a good ice auger or drill. Chopping or breaking holes through ice is difficult and time consuming. Ice fishing has grown steadin ily popularity since Utah went to year round fishing in 1985. Winter anglers are reminded to check fishing proclamations for special winter regulations before going afield. And dont forget that 1989 fishing licenses will be required on January 1 . a famous center of Timbuktu, in the country we know now as Mali, was 14th in the Century. learning particularly law and theology Consumers urged to measure firewood before paying for it Have you ever purchased one or more cords of firewood from a local or commercial dealer, and then wondered when it was delivered if you had received your money s worth?
