It’s more than a month.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, but for us fighting breast cancer is on the calendar every day. Early detection significantly improves the odds of successful treatment. The best defense is an annual mammogram.

If you’re 40 or older, it’s smart to schedule a mammogram every year. Put one on your calendar and start enjoying the peace-ofmind an annual screening brings.

Hope Squad Members Train for Friends, Classmates

By Jack Gillund jgillund@ubmedia.biz

DEREK HOPPER, UBMEDIA.BIZ

Hope Squad members from Uintah High School and Terra Academy participate in training held at the Vernal City Office building, Oct. 4.

Vote Rural Utah Values and re-elect

• Working for the Uintah Basin • Solid proven leader • Listens and cares • Has the Basin’s interests at heart • Born and raised in the Uintah Basin Republican Candidate for Utah State House of Representatives District #55

Looking for ways to make a difference in Utah’s rising suicide rates, Hope Squad students from Uintah High School and Terra Academy met Thursday for a full day of training in peer-to-peer counseling of troubled classmates.

“The most important thing that I’ve learned is just that everyone is going through something,” said Jera Haslem, whose been in Hope Squad for three years.

“It doesn’t matter if you are at the top of the class or if you’re not involved. Everyone needs help. It’s just up to us to kind of reach out and involve everyone.”

According to a recent CDC report, Suicide in Utah rose at a rate of 46.5 percent between 1999 and 2016. The state currently has the fifth highest suicide rate in the nation.

Local Hope Squad organizers hope their programs will teach area youth how to make a difference.

“I think that one of the best things that we do in prevention is education,” said McKay Esplin, a school social worker at Terra Academy.

“It’s talking about suicide.

It’s opening up a dialogue so that kids know what to do and they know that if they have those feelings themselves, there’s nothing wrong with them. They’re not some crazy person.”

Esplin said that 25 or 26 students are currently enrolled in her Hope Squad program. She said the members don’t just join, though.

They have to be nominated by their peers.

“We ask the questions to the students: Who are some kids that you would feel comfortable going to if you had a problem? Who would you talk to? Who do you talk to? It’s not a popularity thing

at all,” she said. “These are kids that the other kids say ‘I would talk to that kid.’

“What we start to see is patterns of the same names coming up,” she added. “So, then what I do is I take those names that come up the most frequently and then we make sure with teachers and with administration that those are in fact kids that they feel would be good members of the hope squad. Then we invite them to be a part of it.”

Hope Squad is part of Hope4Utah, explained Esplin. Hope4Utah began in Provo, Utah, in 2005 when Greg Hudnall implemented peer-to-peer program for students there. According to Esplin, the program has since expanded throughout the state and currently consists of a complete training curriculum.

“It’s like a three-year curriculum,” she said. “They teach a new curriculum every year. There’s a lot to learn.”

Hope Squad members are more than willing to accept the challenge.

“The most important thing that I’ve learned is that anyone can help stop suicide from happening. Everyone can help with suicide prevention,” said Hallie Searle, president of Hope Squad. “All you need is a little knowledge and a little background and you can help anyone. You don’t have to be an expert.

You don’t have to good at it.

You just have to be able to talk to someone.”

school know what to do if know someone is having thoughts of suicide.

“That’s one of the best things about this program,” she said. “It really opens up that conversation.”

“We also get parents involved,” added Sue Buckalew, a counselor at Uintah High School and Hope Squad advisor. “It’s a whole community effort. Jeramie Tubbs from Tri-County Health was here and she talked QPR (Question Persuade and Refer) with the students.”

“It makes me feel real happy, knowing that if I hadn’t stepped in and done something that I might not have them right now,” said Caleb Hunt, who has been in Hope Squad for five years.

“It’s just like real reassuring to know that I have had this training to prepare me for those situations. Instead of feeling grief and loss, I get to make more memories with them and continue being happier.”

“Like one of the girls said (in the training) ‘You’d rather lose that friendship than to lose that friend,’” added Buckalew. “‘You’d rather share that information than to actually have the friend die.’”

Reports of Naples shooting Inaccurate

Late last month, reports circulating around the Basin painted a picture of gunwielding gang members in a quiet neighborhood in Naples City. According Mark Watkins, chief of police for Naples, there is little for residents to be worried about.

“I saw the Basin Now post,” Watkins said. “If I read it correctly, it said that there was a shooting in Naples and that a person had called in and asked about it. They decided to put it out on Facebook so they could ask questions, which I have issues with because that creates what we are dealing with right now.”

According to Watkins, the original reports may have developed from people who were listening to police radio logs and then reported what officers were “saying at the time.

“There is no shooting in Naples. No incident at the park,” he said. “There is an incident at Lamplighter Apartments, which is outside Naples, that happened on the date and time that Basin Now reported (about) on Facebook.”

Rumors that had been heard circulating around the Basin included kids with masks waving guns in the air at the park and gang related incidents.

All of which, Watkins says are untrue. He did say that, after talking to his officers and digging through local and Uintah

county records, he was able to familiarize himself with the incident at Lamplighter Apartments which took place on Sept. 21 at the same time the Naples incident was incorrectly reported.

“Of course you had everybody involved in (the Lamplighter incident). Vernal, Uintah County and also my department,” he said.

According to Watkins, Naples does everything it can to keep citizens informed about incidents that take place within its borders.

“If we have an incident like a shooting or high-profile incident, we have a face book page.

I also have direct communication with a lot of newspaper people. I have no problem with the media.

“I think it’s really important that we nip things like this in the bud, he added. “I understand that there are a lot of rumors floating around. We do have crime in this basin. We do have crime that makes you go ‘what’s with this?’ You’re going to have that and it’s getting worse. But it isn’t devastatingly horrible where everybody needs to cower and fear.

When asked what residents can do, Watkins said “Don’t be paranoid, be prepared. Don’t rely so much on Facebook and social media and ask credible sources for information.”

has seen almost everything there is to see.

“Earaches, coughs, abdominal pains, crush injuries, gunshot wounds, knife stabbings, skin infections, we see all types of things, she said about working in the emergency room. “Night or day, it’s the same.”

Cutright said she first became interested in nursing when she gave birth to her daughter. The extra time

her nurses spent with her to help make her comfortable and the way they treated her “sparked an interest.” Working in an emergency room, though, wasn’t something she considered until a few years ago.

“Originally, I thought OB (obstetrics) would be a good place to start,” she said. But most nurses know that you need some med/surg (medical surgery) experience because you get your basic skills down pat down there. They always tell you to do two years of med/surg before you pick a

specialty.”

Cutright’s career has taken her from two years at the Roosevelt, Utah, community clinic, to two years at med/surg before her current position as an emergency room nurse.

“I just was kind of looking for a change, something different,” she said. “There was an opening down here (in emergency) so I applied.

“I love the ER,” she added.

“There’s always something different. I learn so much every day. My coworkers are absolutely amazing.”

Currently 40 years of age,

Cutright said that going back to school and work were the result of “some big life changes.”

Before she began her career in the ER, she completed nine months of training to become a Licensed Practical Nurse and another nine months to become a Registered Nurse.

Her education didn’t end there though. Since becoming a nurse, she has taken online classes to earn her bachelor’s degree in nursing.

“It takes hard work and dedication,” Cutright said about nursing.

Several branches of local law enforcement attended a special meeting at the Utah State Capitol where U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke regarding the success of the statewide Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative.

Sessions celebrated the success of Utah law enforcement for reducing crime in 2017 by 8 percent.

“From day one I plainly stated our goals were to reduce crime, reduce homicides, reduce opioid prescriptions, and reduce overdose deaths,” shared Sessions.

“I am proud to say that there are signs that we are already achieving all of these goals.”

Several members of Uintah Basin law enforcement were present at the meeting, including Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Brett Gehring, Sgt. Todd Hull, Trooper Nate Mikulich, and Sgt. Kellie Oaks. “We were thrilled to be invited to attend,” shares Sgt. Oaks, “and are grateful for President Trump’s support of law enforcement and the safety of all people in America.” Vernal City Police Sgt. Steve Labrum was also in attendance.

UBTech’s Culinary Arts program served dinner and refreshments.

The possibility of “career stacking” was discussed, regarding how students can earn college credit in high school, obtain scholarships, receive certificates or associate degrees from UBTech, and follow on to complete degrees at USU. UBTech is one of eight colleges comprising Utah System of Technical Colleges. They offer short-term competencybased training targeted at technical skills. UBTech offers ,ore than 25 programs for adult and secondary education students with continued career learning through occupational upgrade training.

USU-Uintah Basin is USU’s flagship regional campus, offering more than 40 degrees and programs. Offerings include accredited associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and a doctorate degree programs.

UBTech and USU currently offer Career Ready programs including nursing and stackable degrees. Students can earn their practical nursing certificate at UBTech then apply their certificate towards an associate of applied science in nursing at USU. After completing a certificate at UBTech in select areas, that coursework can be applied toward an associate of applied science in general technology at USU. Both programs prepare students for in-demand careers that contribute to local workforce needs.

UBTech is celebrating its 50th year in 2018, having been established in 1968. Governor Gay Herbert announced that 2018 is The Year of Technical Education in Utah. This is the purpose of the Career Education Summits.

Individuals interested in availabe career programs can contact UBTech admissions at either the Roosevelt or Vernal campuses.

DiD You Know It has come to my attention that the business manager for Uintah School District, Derek Anderson, sent an email on October 8, 2018 to all District employees contradicting several items I have used paid advertising to address. I will send a copy of the email to the newspaper and it is available to anyone who would like it. I would like to address several items included in this email.

District Email Quote #1: CLAIM: The District has $50 million in surplus just waiting for use.

REALITY: This claim is primarily aimed at the $23 million in the District’s “Capital Projects” fund and the $12 million in the “Unassigned” category of the General Budget.

That’s $35 million, which seems like large amount until you consider the District’s monthly operating expenses.

Response: • On June 30th of 2017 the “Capital Projects” fund did have $23 million, just like the schedule Mr. Anderson attached exhibited, however, the district filed a document titled “2019_Approved Budget” with Office of the State Auditor which presented preliminary fund balances for the “Capital Projects” fund as of June 30, 2018 of $28,208,230

increase from June 2017 to June 2018 by $2,361,779

leaving a balance of $18,438,488.

• Mr. Anderson did not address the restricted “Student Activity Fund” which had a balance at the end of June 2017 of $681,502. The “2019_Approved Budget”

schedule shows this account grows $152,913 year-

over-year for a preliminary ending balance of $834,416.

Although this is a restricted fund for student fees it can be spent for items our students need. One question for the business administrator is what the fund is going to be used for and why is it increasing? Did we collect more than $150,000 for student fees that we did not need to collect from parents?

• Another fund balance Mr. Anderson did not address is the restricted “School Food Service Fund” which had a balance at the end of June 2017 of $1,351,771. This fund decreased slightly year-over-year according to the published information from the district by $38,174 to a

an increase year-over-year of $5,070,555. This information can be verified at: https://reporting.auditor. utah.gov/searchreport • On June 30, 2017 the “General Fund” did have $12 million in the “Unassigned Fund Balance” and an additional $2.3 million in the “Committed – Undistributed Reserve” with a total fund balance, including other items of over $16 million. The filed “2019_Approved Budget” schedule shows the preliminary district estimate for this fund is an

June 2018 balance of $1,313,597. Again, this money must be used for school food, but why are we holding such a large amount instead of spending the funds on school lunches for our students? Each year this money sits in the account it buys less food due to inflation.

It is strange that the District’s business manager would use outdated financial information to tell District employees that fund balances were just $35 million when the District had already published, although preliminary, 2018 financial results which contradict the claims in the email. It will be interesting

District Email Quote #2: “There is also a claim that we were the lowest paid employees in the state.”

Response: This is not a “claim”. This is an independent, government-funded and government-published report for 2016. Anyone can access this report at the Utah

District Email Quote #3: “The balance of the “Capital Projects” fund has been hotly debated for years. Historically, our District is the most volatile District in the state in terms of student enrollment. If our community experiences a boom in the energy industry, enrollment jumps rapidly and class sizes across the district easily swell to 30 students per class in our elementary schools, 32 in our middle schools, and 35 at the high school.”

Response: First, this community has dealt with boom and bust scenarios in the past using bonds and public meeting/votes we have always had the necessary facilities for our students.

Second, with the national unemployment rate below 4% heavy migration to a small rural community is unlikely in the short term.

Third, Uintah’s enrollment in the high school might be increasing, but the explanation may not be what you think.

Consider the past two years’ enrollment by class size statistics below: (Note: As of print date, 10/1/18 data has not been published by the state) Date* K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 10/1/17 516 553 578 596 607 582 621 536 533 515 466 466 417 10/1/16 543 579 614 600 595 645 549 544 542 473 473 429 448

*Information on schools.utah.gov • If you assume an incoming kindergarten class size similar to last year of 516 and an outgoing class size of 417 (last year’s senior class) the District would see an enrollment increase this year just from Incoming class size being larger than outgoing class size by 100 students.

• However, the enrollment in our elementary facilities is actually decreasing. Again assume that the incoming

when the final audit report comes out later this year and after the election to see how close Mr. Anderson’s preliminary estimates filed with the State Auditor for public review are to the final fund balances.

Another interesting item I found in the Districts “2019_ Approved Budget” was that the general fund was estimated to run a deficit and use $500,000 of the over $18 million balance. But when you look closer to the budget that was prepared, it may not be a realistic scenario. Consider: Account* Instruction – Total Supplies and Materials Support Services Students – Total Supplies and Materials Support Services Staff Assistants – Total Supplies and Materials Community Services

2019 2018 Increase/ Budget* Actual* (Decrease) $3,305,691 $2,119,856 $1,185,835

*Information taken from the “2019_Approved Budget” report filed with the Office of the State Auditor As you can see, if the District’s estimates of material increase in the expense line items detailed above do not occur as budgeted, the account may well have a surplus instead of the deficit claimed in the 2019 budget.

State Board of Education website (schools.utah.gov).

It is included in the “Superintendent’s Annual Report” section by year. If Mr. Anderson does not agree with the information the Utah State Board of Education is publishing, he should bring his concerns to them. kindergarten class is 520 (rounded) and the exiting 5th grade class was 582. You would have a decrease in enrollment in your elementary facilities of 62 students.

• Note in 10/1/17, grade 6 has 621 students but enrollment declines from there to just 516 students in grade K. • If our kindergarten enrollment steadies around 520 students per year, we will only have 3 more graduating classes (9, 10, 11 grades for 10/1/17) with lower enrollment numbers, then we will start to see the same thing happening in our elementary facilities now happening District wide.

• This data does not support new facility needs in the near or foreseeable future. In addition, some of these classes had enrollment in excess of 750 students prior to 2016 which would leave significant spare capacity if the class sizes are now under 550. Clearly, our school board should monitor this data every year, release the information to the public and hear input to determine if the needs of our community change.

Mr. Anderson’s email has additional items I would like to address. Unfortunately, I have reached the limit for my advertisement.

I will continue my constructive criticisms of his “facts” in the next “Did You Know”.

THE ONLY SURE CHANCE WE NOW HAVE LEFT OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM (SINCE THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO ANY THING “WE THE TAXPAYERS” HAVE TO OFFER) IS TO EXERCISE OUR RIGHT TO VOTE BY NOVEMBER 6TH. VOTE IN CHIVERS, CALDWELL AND WILKINS AND “WE CAN ALL WIN AGAIN”!!!

DiD You Know one more item that neeDs to be cleareD up for marK calDwell!

In the March 21, 2017 addition of the Vernal Express, page A8, column 6 at the very bottom, it states: “The board had spent $14,727.91 for a bill toward the law firm Manning Curtis Bradshaw & Bednar PPLC to investigate Superintendent of Schools Mark Dockins”.

The following facts will help our community know what really happened.

1. Please reference the transcript of Uintah School District Board of Education Meeting, August 12, 2014 and you will learn the following: • Superintendent Dockins requested a one-year extension of his contract.

• They extended his contract to almost three (3) years. Moved by Mr. Allen, seconded by Mr. Anderson voted four in favor and one against—that being Mr. Caldwell. Signatures on the AMMENDMENT TO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS were Mark Dockins and board chairman Allen A. Huber.

• Utah code section 53A-3-301(3)(a) states the Superintendent’s term of office is two years, beginning July 1, and going for two years. Utah School District Policy 0030150 has the same provisions.

• Mr. Caldwell asked” ‘have we ever asked if giving a three-year contract is legal under this Code?

• Mr. Upton (Business Administrator) stated that around 2004, 2005 They sought a legal opinion from Britton Burbidge, Attorney for the School Boards Association and he stated as long as it was under three years it was okay. Mr. Caldwell requested a copy—he never got one.

2. Additional information discovered about the inappropriately executed employment agreement of Superintendent Dockins.

• Mr. Caldwell contacted attorney Britton Burbidge after he was elected Chairman of the Board of the Uintah School District in 2016, as he wanted to verify Mr. Upton’s claims related to Superintendent Dockins’ employment contract.

In addition, he didn’t want to be in violation of the State statute since he was Board Chair—

now the responsible person for “We the Taxpayers”.

• Sept 19, 2016 Attorney Brinton Burbidge responded to the request for verification. Mr. Burbidge responded: “I had someone look into the question you posed: Has this office issued an opinion to USBA or the Board of Education of the Uintah School District that a school board could contract with a superintendent for three years? We looked in the time frame 2002 to 2007. No opinion to USBA or the Uintah School District was located.”

3. Mr. Caldwell knew all the above facts. After being elected as Chairman of the Board, the question needing to be addressed was how to eliminate the existing violations by Superintendent Dockins.

• Knowing that on August 12, 2014, four (4) members of the board had executed an inappropriate contract with Superintendent Dockins in violation of Utah Code Section 53A-3-301(3)(a) after having been informed that they had a legal opinion to support what they were doing—which was false as laid out above.

• The board had two new members who, along with Mr. Caldwell, decided to get the investigation done. Mr. Caldwell assumed it would come under the $5,000 allowed expense without approval.

Unfortunately, there was an overrun and it was paid, however, the matter failed to go through the required bid process. What was not reported about the expenses, was they eliminated a costly litigation between the District and Mr. Dockins and thereby saving “We the Taxpayers” considerable costs.

• The legal opinion confirmed the violation of the above code section by members of the Uintah County School District and it got rectified.

• The press releases have all failed to point out the violations of the four (4) board members and Superintendent Dockins but to apparently divert attention, the focus was on the price of finding out the violations of $14,727.91.

In comparison to the above issues, please review the following: In the last few months, the school board approved $470,000 worth of ball diamond lights, never having been noticed up for a public meeting as required by law and a public meeting was never held.

I hired a law firm to listen to all the board meeting recordings and tell me if they saw the same violations that I did. Because a public meeting was never noticed up or held, as required by Utah Code Ann. 52-4-102 for the

lights, the District is in violation of the Open and Public Meetings Act. Guess how they circumvented our rights? The board did an under the table phone/email vote. Mr. Caldwell did not participate. Of course, “We the Taxpayers” were not given our rights to be in attendance. They would never allow us to speak or give input, because their minds were made up—similar to the “Consent Calendar” procedures.
