Show C4 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, August 12, 2008 EVENTS Huntington Huntington Film Festival Returns in October Casey Wood Star Theatre has big plans for this October with their Second Annual Huntington Film Festival, which will be held Oct. 10. With the help of Dean Lehwalder of Huntington, Janice and Percy Mounteer, also of Huntington, are hoping to make this festival, and future festivals, a fun and appropriate way for local amateur filmmakers to spend their time and express themselves, as well as a place where fans of independent film can come to see what is developing in the minds of local filmmakers. Submissions will be due to the Star Theatre by Sept. 30. After being submitted the films will be reviewed, and if deemed appropriate, added to the schedule of the festival. The organizers have created guidelines which must be followed for a film to be featured at the festival. The main guideline rests upon the film’s rating. The festival is meant to be a family friendly activity and therefore organizers ask that before submitting your film you go to MPAA.org and check that your film would receive no higher than a PG rating, with a preference for G-rated, therefore outlawing harsh language and explicit subject matter. It is preferred that the submissions are around 10 minutes or less, allowing those who attend the festival to see many different films. Lehwalder hopes to receive many different genres of film, from comedy, to drama, to action, to documentary, and everything in between. On the night of the festival the attendees will be asked to vote for their favorite local film. The three films with the most votes will be awarded first, second, and third places. First place will receive $100, second place will receive $50, and third place will receive $25. Mounteer hinted that ‘special additions’ would be given to winners as well. Anyone looking to be involved, whether as a sponsor, an attendee, or a filmmaker is encouraged to do so. The event is sure to be a fun time, so mark your calendars and get ready to have an experience like never before. For more information call the Star Theatre at 687-7827. Mammoth Marathon Offers Unique Running Experience The Mammoth Marathon will weave through the San Rafael Swell as runners converge Sept. 13 for a full or half marathon. Beginning at Huntington State Park, marathon runners will be bused to the start of the race. The marathon starts at 6:30 a.m. and the half marathon starts at 7:15 a.m. Due to this exclusive location and the mul- tiple Paleontological and Archeological vista’s, this is the only run of its kind. This is a limited run and is not for runners that enjoy running in large crowds and in great cities, this is for the scenic-runner that enjoys the tranquility and beauty of running in nature. Marathon Course The course begins at 5,650 feet and only has about 235 feet of climb in the first four miles. The remaining course is fairly flat with a slight decline until you hit the mouth of BuckHorn Wash (about 16 miles from the start). The remaining course descends about 547 feet over the next 10 miles. This is a great decline because it doesn’t put unnecessary pain on your joints by being too steep. Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center will present a Peach Days Idol contest on Sept. 6 at 11 a.m. The age groups for contestants will be 8-12; 13-17; and 18 and up. There will be a $50 cash prize in each group. Call the care center, 384-2301, to sign up.

OUTBACK Out ‘N’ About Peach Days Idol Half Marathon Course This is primarily a flat /downhill half-marathon with only gently rolling hills. The beginning of the run starts at an elevation of 5656 feet and descends to an elevation of 5100 feet so it will not put unnecessary strain on joints. There is only one access road through the canyon, but it is fairly compacted. Bears trash trailers left on mountain It happens every year. Campers and hunters leave their trailers on the mountain. Maybe they want to reserve a campsite for an up-coming holiday weekend or hunting season opener. Sometimes, they just have a favorite spot they enjoy returning to again and again. Most of the time, these folks return and find things exactly the way they left them. Unfortunately, in a few instances, they return to hurricanelike mayhem. A bear has gained access through a cracked window, door, or the floor, and has turned everything upside down. Contents have been rummaged through, bitten up, and tossed around. The trailer may be demolished. The best remedy for this type of vandalism is prevention. It’s not convenient, and you can’t reserve your favorite camping spot, but pulling your trailer home makes sense. Besides safeguarding your property and peace of mind, you are also protecting our wildlife heritage. Because of liability issues, bears that destroy property must often be destroyed themselves. For more information, visit the Division of Wildlife Resources website, dealing with safety in bear country: http://wildlife.utah. gov/bear/bear_safety.php. A damaged trailer after a bear made itself at home. Farmers Market The Farmers Market began July 26. The market will run each Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Price Peace Gardens. Come out and gather up your fresh produce from your local farmers. Images of the San Rafael The College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum Gallery is presenting Images of the San Rafael by Stephanie Massie Clark through Sept. 30. The artist’s inspiration for the watercolors in the show came from the ancient rock art found at Buckhorn Wash, the Rochester Panel, Nine Mile and Sinbad. Clark’s work can be viewed at the museum’s second floor gallery. General admission fees apply Food Handler’s Class A Food Handler’s class will be held at the Southeastern Utah Department of Health, 25 W Main Street, in Castle Dale.

Tumbling Down Dan Cox of Orangeville came across the carnage of an apparent snow slide from earlier in the spring while horseback riding in Olsen Canyon just above the Reeder Subdivision in Joe’s Valley. He said the slide took out a large swath of trees and brought down large boulders from the cliff face as well. Fish Finder ABAJO MOUNTAINS: Sergeant J. Shirley reports improving fishing success, especially at Monticello Lake, which was stocked and provides excellent fishing with almost any bait. Conservation Officer Paul Washburn warns anglers against yielding to the temptation to take home more fish than the law allows. Please read the fishing proclamation to avoid a visit with the judge. Anglers are also reminded to take their litter home. It’s a sad sight to see shorelines strewn with garbage in late summer. To improve your harvest, fish early or late in the day. Veteran angler Tommi Budd fished from an inflatable boat at Blanding #4 last weekend. He caught four rainbow trout, while trolling with a small Jakes or Super Duper. After seeing trout rise to take flies from the surface, Tommi switched to fly tackle and promptly hooked seven more fish in short order. BENCHES & BOULGERS RESERVOIR: Fish early or late with a floating nightcrawler or PowerBait. DUCK FORK RESERVOIR: Good fishing continues with a dry fly, such as a renegade; or nymph, such as a leech or wooly bugger. A gold Jake’s Spin-a-Lure is a good default lure for this water, where bait is prohibited. ELECTRIC LAKE: No report. In the recent past, fishing has ranged from slow to fair for mostly 6-16 inch cutthroat trout. FERRON RESERVOIR: Fishing success has been sporadic. Try early morning or late evening for best results. An extra four fish may be taken, if at least four are brook trout. GOOSEBERRY RESERVOIR: Tom Ogden fished from a tube the morning of July 31, and caught 16 fish in four hours. He used slow-sinking line and an olive-colored leech on a size 10 hook. Tom’s most productive method was to cast the line, let it sink for five seconds, and strip it in. The surface is covered with damsel flies, mayflies and small midges. A week ago, baitcasters had luck with a combination of nightcrawlers and chartreuse PowerBait. GREEN RIVER: Try shrimp on a slip rig in the evening for 1-2 pound channel cats. Anglers are cautioned that endangered fish can be hooked on the same rig, and should be returned unharmed to the water. Refer to pages 5472 in the current Utah Fishing Guidebook for a refresher on the appearance of endangered fish. HUNTINGTON CREEK: Fishing in the fly-only zone has been generally good for smaller 11-14 inch brown trout. MAMMOTH RESERVOIR: In the afternoon of July 31, Tom Ogden caught seven tiger trout in 2.5 hours. He Continued on Page C6. |
