Rural families face shortage of free summer meal programs Thousands count on government for kids’ nutrition Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — With schools out for the summer, many parents share a concern about their children that reaches far beyond reading assignments and summer camp: where their next meal will come from. Thousands of Utah families rely on free summer meal programs funded by the federal government to feed their children once school food becomes unavailable. But despite high demand, there is a shortage of the programs statewide. The Salt Lake Tribune recent- 801-582-3500 ly reported that most Utah counties have fewer than 10 summer meal sites available and that the programs don’t exist in several counties with high child food insecurity rates, according to data from the state Board of Education. Nonprofits and government agencies can apply to open a site, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They receive federal reimbursement for the meals they fund and serve — an approach that advocates say can exclude cash-strapped school districts and other groups. In Iron County, the Community Presbyterian Church runs two sites and serves about 300 meals a day, staff members told the newspaper. “We know from the numbers that we are serving, that there are more kids out there who are hun- gry and could utilize the lunches,” said Rita Osborn, coordinator of the church’s program and executive director for the Utah Center for Rural Health. At Main Street Park in Cedar City, some homeless families sleep close to the church’s meal site and visit every day. “You can tell (the meal) is definitely a lifesaver for their families, because the kids at least get one meal,” staffer Naomi Martinez said. “It solves a tiny part of a bigger issue.” Garfield County has the second highest child food insecurity rate in Utah at 21%, according to data from Feeding America, a national network of food banks. Yet there are no summer meal sites. Tracy Davis, superintendent of the Garfield County School District, said financial constraints and a sparse population have pre- vented sites from operating there. Some advocates said transportation presents another barrier in many rural Utah communities. “Are you going to drive your kids half an hour, 45 minutes to go get a free lunch if you don’t have gas to get to work the next day?” said Gina Cornia, executive director of the nonprofit organization Utahns Against Hunger. “While school districts and nonprofits are doing what they can, there are gaps that remain.” Martinez said residents need to be more aware of food insecurity in Utah and encourage their school districts and local officials to address the issue. “The problem really comes from community members turning a blind eye to the bigger issue,” she said. “This is an issue, what are we going to do about it?” More alcohol seized in connection to Montana ski resort for ultra-rich Over 800 cans and bottles confiscated by authorities 1460 Foothill Drive in Salt Lake City Near the Mouth of Parley’s Canyon Wed/Thurs/Fri, July 10-12, 2019 MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA, Mont. — Montana officials said Monday that they confiscated over 800 bottles and cans of alcohol in a raid just days after the Yellowstone Club D E V A S Our long standing local businesses are ecstatic that the Armstrong Snow Ranch Pastures have been preserved forever as open space!

Dugins West, est. 1984 & Park City Sport, est. 1983 Robert & Linda Dugins Dean & Jamie Peters signed a deal to settle charges of serving booze at unlicensed bars at the private ski resort for the ultra-rich. Officials believe the alcohol seized last month from a terminal that serves club members and others who fly into Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport on private jets belongs to a company owned by two Yellowstone Club executives, Department of Revenue spokesman Sanjay Talwani said. The liquor, wine and beer were being stored and served at an unlicensed location, according to an agency notice of the June 25 raid. Talwani declined to provide further details. Yellowstone Club attorney Shane Reely didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment. The allegations are the same as those settled in a $370,000 agreement signed on June 19 that involved the same company and three others licensed to sell alcohol at the exclusive re- sort that counts Microsoft’s Bill Gates, Google’s Eric Schmidt and singer Justin Timberlake as members. A state investigation found that the club was serving alcohol in two bars that had applied for but not received a liquor license in December and January. The club’s vice president and general manager, Hans Williamson, had the alcohol removed and stashed in vans when an inspector showed up, the state agency said. Revenue officials originally proposed revoking all of the posh resort’s liquor licenses, but the settlement allowed alcohol to keep being served after the companies paid the fine, briefly suspended serving booze and removed Williamson from oversight and ownership of the liquor licenses. Revenue officials also approved a new liquor license for the two bars that had been operating illegally and returned over 9,000 bottles and cans of alcohol seized from the club’s bars and warehouses earlier this year. The company named in both raids is H&K Spirits. The Department of Revenue lists Williamson as an owner, along with John Kevin Hinkle, who was chief financial officer of the Yellowstone Club and is now CFO of The Discovery Land Co., which operates the Yellowstone Club and other resorts nationwide. Another company that owns a Yellowstone Club liquor license and was cited in the settlement is owned by Sam Byrne, the co-founder of CrossHarbor Capital, the company that bought the resort and brought it out of bankruptcy a decade ago. Revenue department officials said the owners of the seized alcohol have until the end of the month to file a claim for it or it will be forfeited to the state. Talwani said officials will decide whether to file charges after the investigation is complete. |
