Club. The idea for putting an event like this together came about nine months ago as part of The Chamber’s “Come Together” campaign. EnergySolutions volunteered to be the main sponsor of this year’s event to get things rolling. “Once the planning committee got a basic plan together, it was really cool to see the other companies in our area get excited about this fun event and really pitch in to help”, said Jan Hatfield of EnergySolutions and coordinator of the event.

center she serves as a life guard, swimming instructor, age group swimming coach and fills in at the front desk when needed. I have been most impressed with her work ethics. She is always doing above and beyond what her job calls for. If she is guarding, she also cleans. When she is in the office, she learns the names of the patrons and makes them feel wel-come. She will put in extra time to help students in her classes learn skills they are having a difficult time with. As a coach,

For over a decade Mountain America Credit Union has been helping the good people of Tooele with your financial needs. A lot has changed since we opened our first branch 12 years ago in the strip mall by Wal-Mart. The credit union has evolved into the Mountain America you know today—with 63 branches in four states, 343,000 members and $2.8 billion in as-sets. Mountain America’s philosophy of ‘Peo-ple Helping People’ holds true as we focus on quality and convenience for our mem-bers. Everyday we help our members with everything from basic savings and check-ing accounts to auto loans and invest-ments. We’re also here for the business community offering services such as busi-ness checking and deposit accounts. As the top credit union SBA lender in the country, MACU has been highlighted in Entrepre-neur magazine and the Wall Street Journal. “We work hard to uphold that philosophy,” says branch manager, Kristian King. “Our member service is our top priority. We take care of our members as if they were family.” Family is just one thing that Kris is pas-sionate about. He also cares strongly about his community. When he isn’t helping members at the credit union or spending time with his family, Kris serves in vari-ous community organizations such as the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis and the Exchange Clubs. “It’s nice to be able to give back to the community that has supported Mountain America for all these years,” says Kris. Many things have changed over the years, but our philosophy hasn’t. We promise to always uphold the tradition of people help-ing people for many decades to come.

weather passed and the sunshine returned, they continued the competition with Cargill Salt finally emerging victorious. Weather took its toll again with the Go-Kart event which had to be rescheduled until August 12 due to rain. Unfortunately, the schedule change kept some teams from competing, but when the smoke had cleared and the dust settled the difference between the winning team and last place was a slim 4.8 seconds. Congratulations to Cargill Salt who now owns bragging rights as the speediest company in the county. Not surprisingly some of the

attitude, there was an amazing spirit of camaraderie between the competing companies. This was most obvious during the Scavenger Hunt. Several teams made calls to competitors offering to help them with one item they needed in return for help on one that they didn’t have. EnergySolutions narrowly edged out Wal-Mart Logistics by 2 points for the Corporate Cup with Cargill Salt taking a strong 3rd. The Sportsmanship Award went to Macey’s and the Volunteer of the Year went to a Macey’s employee, Shannon Proctor. With an experienced planning committee in place and this year’s dramatic success to build upon, we expect to make this an annual event. We hope even more chamber

The recent drop in temperatures reminds us that fall is right around the corner. Before we know it, the leaves will be changing colors, and hunt-ers will be taking to the field. Tooele County is recognized for its beautiful vistas from a strik-ing, red sunset over the Stansbury Mountains to a brilliant morning in Set-tlement Canyon with the ridges ablaze with orange, red, and yellow hues. The County Commis-sioners, along with Tooele County Parks and Rec-reation and the Tooele County Trails Committee are trying to make those beautiful scenes more ac-cessible by identifying and marking old trails and cre-ating and designating new trails. This is a work in progress. The Trails Committee created a master trails plan that is a working docu-ment, updated as new trails are identified and marked. That plan includes trails to connect communities with each other, trails to connect communities with Deseret Peak Complex, and continued access to a maintained system of trails for motorized (ATV, motorcycle, snowmo-bile) and non-motorized (equestrian, hiking, bik-ing, skiing) use in the mountains and along the foothills.The County Commission and Trails Committee are currently working with private land owners to preserve access to public lands by controlling access to private land, marking trails, producing maps and policing the trail system. These steps

will help to reduce or eliminate abuse to private and public lands due to property and environmen-tal damage, vandalism, and trash left behind. Our Parks and Recreation Department main-tains the trail system and identifies trailheads with kiosks. Currently we have kiosks marking

the trailheads at both ends of the Mid-Valley Trail between Tooele and Deseret Peak Complex, at the mouth of Middle Canyon, on the new Grantsville to Deseret Peak Trail at Durfee Street and SR-112, on the new East Bench Trail (in prog-ress) at Droubay Road and Lasslee Lane, at the walking trail on Stansbury Island, on three trails in Ophir Canyon and in Dry Canyon on the Jacob City Loop Trail. More kiosks will be added as other existing and new trails are identified for public use, such as the Parkway trail between Sheep Lane and Drou-bay Road. You can check out our master trails plan

on our website at www.co.tooele.ut.us. Hover over the Parks and Recreation tab. Click on Tooele County Trails, then click on the Master Plan tab at the top of the new page. You will find a pre-sentation and a map showing the Tooele County Trail System.

If you’re interested in get-ting involved, the next two Trail Committee meetings are September 2 and Octo-ber 7 at 3:00 p.m. in the De-seret Peak Complex offices. Groups and families can also help by participating in our Adopt-a-Trail program to maintain and clean a spe-cific trail. Call 843-4001 for more information. We appreciate the coop-eration of the private land-owners and other govern-ment agencies to identify and provide these valuable recreation resources. You can do your part by observ-ing the trail signs, staying on designated trails, not creating new cuts or trails into the environment, pick-ing up trash, and staying off private lands. That way we will all ben-

efit through the existence of the Tooele County Trails System for years to come.

Many people don’t know that EnergySolutions is a respected environmental clean-up firm,

with successful projects all over the world. This includes our work in Moab, where the

Department of Energy enlisted EnergySolutions to clean up 130 acres near the banks of

the Colorado River. There, we’re removing uranium mill tailings left over from past mining

operations before they can affect the beautiful natural surroundings. It’s also an endeavor

giving a welcome boost to the local economy, providing jobs for over 300 employees and

numerous independent contractors. It’s not all we do, but our work in Moab is an important

example of how our global expertise benefits Utah.

Dear Kelly:

I just wanted to tell you thank you for the wonderful customer service and personal attention I have received from Mountain West Medical Center recently.

Rather than travel to Salt Lake City for a procedure, you were able to match the price, which allowed me to keep the money here in Tooele County, as well as being much more convenient for me. The customer service that I received from the billing department, as well as the surgery staff was what has always given Tooele County a small town feel.

I then encountered an emergency situation which Dr. Webber was marvelous in taking care of for me. As we have discussed, my Mother loves the attention she receives in the hospital, even spending her latest birthday there.

Each of these situations have made me glad to have a marvelous hospital here in Tooele County, along with a terrific staff.

Thank you for your personal attention, please thank your staff for me.

Sincerely, Marilyn K. Gillette
