TATC is “Coming Together” in Tooele By Ryan Murray, TC BRC
T
ooele applied Technology College (TATC) in partnership with Tooele City and Utah State University — Tooele Regional Campus has begun construction on the much anticipated new home for the TATC. But this would have never happened without the help and support of the community and the leadership of Scott Snelson, TATC President, whose vision of “Come Together” and understanding of the power of working together as a community took this project from the realms of unlikely to a $10 million dollar legislative allocation to match Tooele City’s $4.5 million dollar contribution. When Scott became President of TATC in 2009, Tooele’s Come Together campaign had just been created. He feels the idea of buying local is a valuable proposition and wanted to support it. He believes coming together can enhance the quality of life in Tooele’s community and increases our tax base. Scott understands that the primary reason TATC exists is to provide training for
local employers and to stimulate economic development opportunities for the community. As such, the new TATC building is an example of what the local community can accomplish. Scott J. Snelson, Method Studios TATC President Incorporated has designed the TATC project and Hughes General Contractor is currently constructing the new facility. In the process of sending out the bids for construction, Scott wanted to ensure that most, if not all subcontractors be local. However it’s against state policy to mandate the use of local contractors. So, working with the Chamber of Commerce, Scott worked hard to ensure that local contractors were aware, informed and ready to bid. To his credit, and through a very competitive process, our local subcontractors and suppliers will receive 45% of the total money spent on the project. This is a formidable number considering the scope
and size of this project and is a great testament to the “Come Together” campaign and strong supporters such as Scott. There were many questions from around the state on how Tooele was able to accomplish this project. Scott gives all the credit to the community including Tooele City Mayor Dunlavy; Tooele City Council; Utah State University Ronda Menlove, Gary Straquadine and President Albrecht; Randy Sant; County Commissioners; Grantsville City Mayor Marshall; Jim Gowans; Tooele County Alliance for Education, Employment and Economic Development; Tooele Chamber of Commerce; and many other government, business and community leaders who contributed in so many ways. “Achieving this project was a collaborative community effort that has allowed TATC to become the institution it is today and set the foundation for the institution that it will become tomorrow.”
Modern Woodmen volunteers beautify the community
T
ooele Modern Woodmen of America members recently put their hands where their hearts are. On Saturday, May 26th, members of the Tooele Modern Woodmen chapter worked together to clean up the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce grounds at 154 South main, Tooele. The project was part of the organization’s Good Neighbors Program, a nationwide program that gives Modern Woodmen chapters across the country $500 for handson repair and community beautification projects. Nearly 500 such projects benefit communities in the United States annually. Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen
members, chapters provide opportunities to connect through social activities and volunteer projects. “As a member-based, fraternal organization, Modern Woodmen strives to give member families opportunities to volunteer and enhance their communities,” says Mel Sweat, local Modern Woodmen Representative. “Our good Neighbors Program does both.” For more information about the local
chapter and how you can get involved, contact Mel at 435-224-2708 or Meven.J.Sweat@ mwarep.org . As a tax-exempt fraternal benefit society, Modern Woodmen sells life insurance, annuity and investment products not to benefit stockholders but to improve the quality of life of its stakeholders- members, their families and their communities. This is accomplished through social, charitable and volunteer activities,. Annually, Modern Woodmen and its members provide more than $23 million and nearly 1 million volunteer hours for community projects nationwide.
Many thanks to the following individuals who helped with the Chamber Building clean-up on Saturday, May 26th. Your service to the Chamber was greatly appreciated! Mel, Andrea & Portor Sweat, Kendra & Alyssa Martell, Karen Christiansen, Desiree Smith, George & Gillian Young, Kendall Thomas, Robbie Baird, Kolby and Kris King, Steve Smith, David Swan and Tyler Winn.

County Commission Update: 1st Annual Wild Horse & Heritage Days By Wade Mathews, Public Information Officer
T
he wild horse has long been recognized as an icon of Tooele County. And rightly so, since the west desert in Tooele County is home to the largest wild horse herd in Utah. Many people make the drive out west to view the majestic animals in their natural habitat. The wild horses are the subjects of hundreds of photographs, some of which have been featured in the Tooele County Emergency Preparedness Calendar over the years. In part to recognize the long and storied history of the wild horses in Tooele County, the Commissioners joined with Tooele County Parks and Recreation to create, organize, and promote the upcoming First Annual Wild Horse and Heritage Days. The three day festival is meant to highlight and focus on the legendary wild animals that have a connection to the history of the old west. County Commissioner Jerry Hurst said for some time the commissioners have wanted to create a new marquee event that Tooele County could be known for. “We discussed several things and then thought of our heritage here. We have more wild horses here than anywhere else. We used to call them mustangs but there’s been so much inter-breeding that we don’t call them mustangs any more. Plus the pony express, we have more miles of untouched pony express trail than any other place. What we want to do is step back in time and celebrate our heritage: the pioneer spirit and the cowboy spirit,” he said. Many of the activities and events will make you feel like you are stepping back in time. And they will provide fun and entertainment for people of all ages. There will be pioneer games and activities originating in the 1800’s for the kids, booths and demonstrations, a cowboy poetry contest, Yippie-Tie-I-Idol (talent contest), a BBQ competition, a pony express relay race, an antique tractor pull, and a horse pull. Commissioner Bruce Clegg said, “Last year we had the horse pulls and

got a lot of comments on how much people enjoyed it. Our area has one of the greatest horse pull organizations and some of our local citizens have won the national horse pull contest many times. It is an event that is very fun and exciting to watch.” That’s not all the First Annual Wild Horse and Heritage Days has to offer. It is being held in conjunction with the 14th Annual Wild Horse and Burrow Festival and Auction. There will also be a Festival of Learning during which four top clinicians will teach people how to train horses using 45 head of horses captured in our county and available for adoption. Cost for participation in the Festival of Learning is $100 per person for three days. There will also be a Lil’ Cowhand Rodeo, and a Ranch Rodeo, featuring a lot of our local cowboys, followed by fireworks. And headlining the Wild Horse and Heritage Days is world renowned, cowboy poet, Baxter Black. The veterinarian turned cowboy poet is putting on a great show you won’t want to miss. Each year Wild Horse and Heritage Days will honor a community member who has contributed greatly to the success of this great county. This year’s honoree is former school teacher, mayor, and county commissioner, Teryl Hunsaker. Commissioner Clegg said, “The event committee selected Mr. Hunsaker out of seven nominees, based on his efforts to promote Tooele County, including helping to establish the Deseret Peak Complex.” Commissioner Hurst said, “I want

to thank the great committee and the sponsors. The committee has been working hard and we’re excited about this great event we’ve put together. Already we have $50,000 in sponsorships. We’ve had fantastic support.” Commissioner Hurst is already looking forward to the Second Annual Wild Horse and Heritage Days. He said, “Next year we’ll add a bus tour to go out and see the wild horses. We also want to coordinate a bus tour out to see the pony express re-ride in action.” “We need events that bring people together to celebrate Tooele County and our Heritage. With this economy sometimes staying at home is a good alternative. This event will be very worthwhile without costing a lot. I think it will become an event that returns and continues to grow each year,” added Commissioner Clegg.
Admission to the Wild Horse and Heritage Days is free. However some events require purchasing tickets. The Ranch Rodeo is $10 for adults and $5 for youth, ages 4 to 12. The Horse Pull is also $10 for adults and $5 for youth, ages 4 to 12. A $15 combo ticket to see both the Ranch Rodeo and the Horse Pull is available. General admission tickets to the Baxter Black Concert are $15. VIP seating and a chuck wagon dinner are $30. You can also purchase a $25 general admission ticket which includes the Baxter Black Concert, the Ranch Rodeo, and the Horse Pull. You can purchase tickets, see the event schedule, and get more information online at wildhorseandheritagedays.com or by calling 843-4020. Everyone is encouraged to celebrate Tooele County’s pioneer, old west and wild horse heritage by attending the First Annual Wild Horse and Heritage Days. It will run from Thursday, June 7th through Saturday, June 9th at the Deseret Peak Complex.

ou know how to assess and address your clients’ needs; however, it’s easy to neglect your own. What is the sign of a good decision?® It’s choosing a knowledgeable financial profes- Patric Latimer sional to help you assess and address your needs. In challenging times, when business decisions have considerable personal and economic impact, it helps to have knowledgeable advice from a network of professionals who can help owners overcome challenges and lay the groundwork for future success. Consider the following ten tips to help small and family business owners in challenging times. 1. Have a thoughtful, well-written business plan and stick to it Rather than getting caught up in daily operations of your business, set clear, realistic goals and objectives. Consider strategies that address the long-term plans of your business and how you plan to retire. 2. Seek out a network of business advisors By pulling together an informal board of directors made up of business owners in similarlysized companies dealing with similar short-and
long-term issues, owners can realize opportunities within their businesses that they may not have been able to see themselves, and they can work together to solve each others’ most pressing issues. 3. Find a financial professional with experience in serving small businesses Choose an experienced, local financial professional, trained to meet business owner needs, who you trust with your business and personal aspirations and who will help you with your plan for reaching your short-and long-term goals. 4. Know your core customers and delight them Understand your customers. Segment them and know where profitable business comes from. Make the extra effort to know how you can keep and grow your base of recurring customers. 5. Define and communicate your unique value in the market What do you do that no one else is doing? How is your service better than other services? Why should customers see you instead of your competition? Take a look at the competition; some may have changed their approach or exited the business. Develop a unique message that articulates your unique value proposition. 6. Hire better and offer good benefits Typically, the pool of talented, highly-trained, and educated people grows in a down economy as more and more people lose jobs. Find and hire strong talent. Offer voluntary benefits – those that you, as owner, offer to employees at a typically lower cost than they could obtain themselves. Voluntary benefits can be provided at no direct cost to you and reward people. 7. Revisit your overhead expenses and trim the fat Which overhead expenses can be reduced or eliminated? Can you reduce credit card fees? Discuss a reduction with your current provider. 8. Consider tapping your whole life insurance policy’s cash value, if stuck for credit Businesses hold whole life insurance policies for key person insurance, succession planning, and buy-sell arrangements. Whole life insurance builds cash value, guaranteed. A business can take a loan from its whole life insurance policy. The policy continues to receive dividends, which – although not guaranteed – can increase the policy’s death benefit and cash value or provide a source of income to pay some or all of the premiums due.* 9. Diversify into a complementary business A bad economy may cause business owners to retreat to their core business, but in doing so you might miss a chance to leverage your existing infrastructure. This is a time to understand the profitability of each line of your business. Ask yourself if there is a complementary option that might bring in more profits or heighten the visibility of the company overall. For example, an owner of a coffee shop could expand into some light catering for area business functions. 10. Develop an exit strategy and succession plan Are you approaching retirement and intending to sell your business for retirement income? An experienced financial professional can help you put a succession plan in place. Your customers depend on your business. Your business depends on you. In challenging times, or anytime, an experienced local financial professional can help you and your business interests. *Access to cash values through borrowing or partial surrenders will reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured. © 2011 Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, Springfield, MA 01111-0001.

ride Builders was started in 1989 by Jonny Nay, whose father was also a contractor, and who emphasized the importance of quality and honesty in a job well done. Brandon started working together with his father and grandfather at a young age, learning the trade and the importance of doing things right. Jonny and his son Brandon have partnered to continue the tradition of building. They own and operate Pride Builders together, combining experience, expertise, knowledge, and a desire to do things right. They have been building homes in Tooele County since 1994, and feel it is a great place to live. Pride is committed to building a high quality house at an affordable price. We only use experienced, licensed, and trusted contractors who have the same commitment to quality.
We strive to make the building process a good one. We want the homeowners to enjoy a worry free house for years to come. This is why most of our business comes from the referrals of happy customers. Over the last few years with the slump in the housing market, we have branched out to more remodeling, additions, and basement finishes. Whether your needs are for a new starter home, your final custom dream home, or an update or addition to your existing, we can help you. Our commitment to high quality at a fair price applies to any size project we complete. We are currently building in Tooele and Salt Lake County, and can build on your lot or one of ours. Our selling price starts at $159,900.

he Curtis Foundation, located at 4901 South State Street #K in Murray, is a fascinating eclectic little shop with a great selection of thousands of unique items. Some are new and some used. Here, you can find antiques, furniture, artwork, home accessories, books galore, some clothing, house wares, beautiful china & dishes, crystal , figurines and many other collectible items. This project was originally started nearly a year ago and the thought began when some friends were holding garage sales to raise money for Camp Kostopulos. The concept of a storefront was suggested and with a little more discussion, some inspiration, hard work and ambition, it became a reality. Lease arrangements were made and oodles of inventory acquired. Over several months many plans changed and a move was made in November of 2011 to a larger building near the original location. The Foundation recently purchased it’s first big box truck, which will make those larger pick-ups go smoother. An extraordinary individual who played a huge part in all of this was our friend Curtis Couvillion. He spends a lot of his time at Camp K and gets pretty excited when he talks about the fun things they do there. Curtis is a very special person and
has touched the lives of many with such impact. As a result, the Foundation bears his name. The Curtis Foundation is a 501c3 whose purpose is to help raise funds for Camp K. The staff is currently 100% volunteer. The Director is Kaye Lee Brady and the Board of Directors includes Frank Nelson, Charlie Moore, Angela Haun and Vern Rosenstiel, who all contribute a good deal of time to this cause. Various other Volunteers we want to acknowledge are Kelly Brady, Mary Lou Sofran, Al Harris, Debbie Held, Mart y Sammond, Sara Tello, David Williamson, Jackie White, Harry Watt, Lynette Johnson, Dave, Liz Hein and Donna Anderson. We welcome volunteers and have plenty for them do. The Curtis Foundation receives generous donations from individuals and local estates. We welcome all donations and are happy to pick them up whether it is just a few items or clearing an entire estate. Upon request, a receipt for a tax deductible donation will be given for items donated to the Curtis Foundation. An Open House was held May 23, 2012. It was a day of fun, lots of tasty refreshments, door prizes and great discounts. The turnout was large, with customers, friends neighbors and chamber members who joined in on the ribbon cutting. Come in & check it out. Chamber Members receive a 10% discount and everyone receives a free item with each purchase. It is easy to find in the center of Murray, across the street from Day Murray Music, in the Northeast corner of the complex , in Murray’s old fire station.
