East Carbon Trash Clean-Up

Image
I can say with a 100% certainty, East Carbon is one of the trashiest places in the state. Before my health deteriorated, every summer I would pick a spot in Carbon or Emery County and clean it up of trash and debris. The last time that I was able to do this I picked the road to the gun range at East Carbon. I had no clue at that time as to what I was getting into. I started at UT124 where the dirt road takes off to the gun range. By the time I made the first 300 feet, I already had made ten trips to the dump. The biggest and most item was beer bottles, mostly broken. Usually it only takes a day to clean up an area, but this road was proving to be a major difficulty. I had already spent a week and only got about a quarter mile. I started finding drug needles and decided that it would be best to end this. I then started at the junction of US6/191 and UT123 and started cleaning along sine the road. This soon had to stop with threats from COP Sam Leaonard. East Carbon is a strange sort of ...

East Carbon - How Does the Dog Catcher Get Paid

Image
  That’s easy Sally, the dog catcher has many jobs rolled into one. One day she might be a city councilwoman, the next day a receptionist, and the next day a cop. With all these different jobs the dog catcher has Sally, this keeps other people from having jobs, which keeps the local job base only for friends and relatives. All the other city employees have multiple jobs too, helping to fight the American free enterprise system with applied Democratic socialism. Sally, it’s called nepotism and is part of the great economic system here in East Carbon City that is called Democratic Socialism. Understand Sally, That’s how non-production in a Democratic Socialism society works.  See Sally, the dog catcher like other city employees have multiple jobs and they all make multiple wages, multiple times. It’s like a great pyramid Sally, they are all at the top, and we’re all at the bottom. Think of Am-way, Sally.              ...

Small Town Friday Night - When Fast Cars Ruled

Image
Who remembers the good ole days? I’m talking about Price, Utah when main street had four lanes and angle parking, Friday night drag racing from light to light, the quarter mile on airport road where someone with a CB radio had to watch for the cops to warn everyone that they were on their way, I’m happy to say that I was a part of that iconic period. My first muscle car was a 1971 Dodge Charger RT with a 440 automatic. Basically stock, but still very quick. My second car was a 1971 Plymouth GTX 453, 4 speed with a tunnel ram dual 850 cfm carbs, and much more too numerous to mention. This car was very quick, compared to my charger. I remember some of the other fantastic street cars from the time, I won’t name any names, but a red Mustang, an AMC Hornet, a beautiful 442 Oldsmobile, another 442 Oldsmobile, 2 - 1955 Chevrolet BelAirs, a gorgeous 73 Dodge Challenger, a 67 Dodge Coronet Hemi, a 69 Plymouth Duster 340 the only car ever to beat my 440 Charger, a gorgeous 72 Dodge Charger 340, ...

Landowners Who Purposely Block Off Public Lands

Image
  There’s one thing that really peeves me, and that is the private land owners who will purposely buy land in such a manner as to block off large tracks of public land from public use, solely for their own private use only. This type of a land grab by the greedy land owner is not only wrong ethically, but morally too. Any such land-locked public BLM or State ground should come with automatic access by an easement, for the general public. There are literally millions of acres of public lands that are land-locked, inaccessible because they’re surrounded by private property. In a recent Supreme Court case, private land owner lost against hunters that were corner crossing from one corner of BLM land to another corner of BLM land, by using a special latter. The land owner cried foul, the hunters cried fair, and so did the courts, totally legal. It’s high time for people to fight getting back their rightful land.

SERDA, a Scam or Asset?

Image
What more can be said about a bad job gone bad. First off I want people to know that I’m a handicapped person with spinal cord damage, and also on hospice with stage D heart failure. I don’t need this crap happening in my life at this time. We let SEALAG (Southeastern Association of Local Governments), which is now called SERDA (Southeastern Regional Development Agency) rebuild our roof and install eves which took over two year to complete the job, which should of took no more than three months max. The “aka” contractors used to do the work on our home were no more than has-beens from the different Helper City bars showing up whenever they felt like it, working for maybe an hour or two then leaving. Happy hour was the name of the game here. Finally after fall set in, I had to set up a video camera to document the contentious and overly lax attitude of the workers. All used old barn wood, and 2x4’s from old pallets was used for the eves, while being charged for new wood. ...

East Carbon City, Utah - No Change After Election

Image
  I told myself that if this issue with the East Carbon City Treasurer Jason Jogensen and his publicly published and transmitted fabricated lie of my sister and I being Married and having sex, on the public facebook group forum “Letter to the Editor and other news from Carbon County Citizens”, would get round filed, or even swept under the carpet, that I would definitely do something legally about it. It has been months later and finally after five emails sent to East Carbon City Mayor Carolyn Abeyta, I finally received a response not only from her but also from the city attorney Christian Bryner, too. Just as we thought, they both stated that no more would be said about the incident and it would be handled in-house only. Well, mayor Abeyta, and city attorney Bryner, it’s not over, not by a long shot. If this would’ve happened to a private citizen, it would be called defamation and I believe that’s the legal title for it, right Mrs Abeyta, and Mr Bryner? Ring a bell? What about lik...

East Carbon (Columbia) Coke Ovens

Image
  The old coke oven historic site should be cleaned up, organized, and preserved as much as possible for future generations, especially the ones in east Carbon. There’s a major liability problem looming for not only the property owner, but the city too, with kids and generally all people climbing on them, with a possibility of either a nasty fall or a cave-in happens with someone standing on top of an already half decayed oven. Another problem is the many piles of bricks and debris lying around creating an excellent habitat for rattle snakes, black widow spiders, and other pests and vermin. These coke ovens have a great historic value to East Carbon, along with the old Carbon County Railway Depot, and out buildings. Just food for thought.
