BREAKING NEWS - 14 Year Old Staff Member dies at Tifie Scout Camp

2013-07-10T21:16:00.000-06:00

A 14 year-old CIT Staff member was killed at Tifie Scout Camp at the Mountain Dell Scout Ranch Tuesday night. He died at 8:33 PM
-Tuesday Night - A Scouts Story - We were eating dinner when this guy drove up in a 4-Wheeler and told us to go on the road that goes around the scout camp. we had no idea why and he didn't tell us. our initial reaction, one of our leaders said, was to not go. but we went anyway. on the way, we asked a CIT (Counselor in Training) what was happening. he said that someone got hit and they were landing Life-Flight in the field, so they needed everyone out of the way. that was good enough for us, so we went with everyone else. they had us hike All the way around the camp to the lodge, than sent us down to the parking lot, and finally up to the Johnson Amphitheater, where a guy was telling stories. they wouldn't, however, let us go back to our campsites, not even to get our coats! but they did let us go to the restrooms. when I was down there, i heard someone say "I saw the body, thats right, I said the body." with tears in his eyes he said "I don't think he's gonna make it."When i got back it got freezing, and everyone was huddling and hugging the ground for warmth when they said something like this "We have received word that we can't go back to the campsites yet, and we know you are getting cold and impatient, so we are going to have some skits to try and entertain you." about a minute later, they came and said something like this. " All the campsites below eagle can now return back to their campsites. sadly we have had a fatality, so that's why it took so long. if you are in ..... Eagle, or Centaur, than, once everyone else has left, come up here to this middle front area, and we'll have a little chat." we got to go back to camp, had dinner and went to bed. when i woke up, our camp friend was there, and everyone was getting ready to go to Flag Ceremony for the tribute. i shoveled in some breakfast, and went to join them. at Flag, they put the flag at half mast, and did a three gun salute for a tribute. i think they did the salute with 22' Rifles.

-Wednesday Release-
Wednesday morning, we found out that the person who died was Bruce Rhiddlehoover. he had died while doing his nightly assignment of collecting trash. it appears that he slipped under the truck and got run over. Life Flight as well as an Ambulance were called. Sadly, he passed away at 8:33 pm on Tuesday, July Ninth.

Snow Again! Will it continue?

2012-12-09T12:21:00.003-07:00

Spanish Fork, UT

Over the past two days it has been snowing off and on between the Great Salt Lake and Spanish Fork.

When we did our last report on snowy weather we checked weather.com which said that over the next few weeks had a precipitation percentage of %0-%20 and we did not get any snow for several weeks after that.

Still the question on most peoples mind now is either "Will this snowy weather continue", "Will the snow continue to come in bursts every now and than" and "Is this going to be the last snow of the season?

After consulting weather.com here are the answers to the questions. 1. Q Will this snowy weather continue? A. Monday 12/10 , Thursday 12/13 , Friday 12/14 and Sunday 12/16 are predicted by the National Weather Service to have Snow Showers and a 30% chance of precipitation. 2. We have looked over the forecast but cannot predict far enough ahead to answer this question for sure. We will just have to wait and see. 3. No according to weather.com we WILL have another snow storm before January's End.

As the day progresses we will have more info.

WILD DRIVERS EXCEED SPEED LIMIT

2012-10-26T16:31:00.000-06:00

One of our reporters was driving past a school when a silverado passed a red pick-up truck in the school zone going across the double yellow lines at about about 50 M.P.H. breaking the 25 M.P.H. speed limit.
Our reporter followed them to Slant Road in Spanish Fork, Utah where both vehicles were stopped at a red light when the driver of the silverado got out of his vehicle and supposedly punched and shouted at the driver of the red pick-up truck. He then got back in his vehicle and the light turned green. both vehicles turned on to Highway 6 and sped down towards the Interstate to the next red light going a estimated 110 M.P.H. and puffing out a large black cloud of exhaust severely exceeding the 50 M.P.H. speed limit. Our reporter than got the licence plate number and called 911 when the light turned green both vehicles sped off toward Interstate 15.

If you have information regarding this please comment.

both drivers were heading from maple mountain high school and are estimated 18-20 years old.

SNOW TWO DAYS IN A ROW Will it continue?

2012-10-25T19:04:00.003-06:00

Today across Utah many people woke up to another day of snow.

During last night and much of today some rain and a large amount of snow fell from the sky.
Many people now have high hopes of a snowy winter and a White Wonderland.
Although by the end of the day there was only snow in the mountain peaks many people enjoyed the snow to its fullest.

We now must address the question of "Will this Continue?" We recently checked a report by weather.com and unfourtounatly the next weeks precipitation chances range from 0% to 20%.

Fictional Narrative

Excerpt from “The Tsunami At Shellville”

Chapter # __ Hiss means Earthquake!

        “Hiss!!” Went the Steam Vents. More steam was hissing out than ever before! The inhabitants of Steamer Island were getting worried. The Steam Vents had never hissed out so much steam. Old *Player Island* had encountered a small earthquake that had caused it to CRACK IN HALF! Volcano Island was also starting to shoot billowing smoke out of it.
        The next day at about 9:00 A.M. the ground of most islands around Shellville gave a mighty HEAVE to the South-West and than back to the North- East. “Hey Todd, did you feel that?” Asked Bill. “Yes I did Bill.” Said Todd.
        “Du-du-du-du-ba-ba-ba-ba-ah-ah Du-du-du-du-ba-ba-ba-ba-ah-ah “ “We Interrupt this program for an Important Announcement. A large Earthquake has occurred approximately 100 miles north-east of Shellville Island causing a 1 foot Tsunami. All those within the vicinity of Steamer, Fisher's, and Shellville Islands are urged to evacuate immediately and within the next 30 minutes." - "This is the mayor of Shellville Island. Due to our enormous population it will take about 11/2 Hours for us to evacuate. Anyone who has an idea of how to delay the tsunami long enough for us to evacuate PLEASE call town hall at 201-900-1000." "Now back to your normal program." Went the sound emitting from the radio." Du-du-du-du-ba-ba-ba-ba-ah-ah".

About 5 minutes later at town hall

        "Ring Ring" went the telephone. "Hello" said the Mayor. "This is the Shellville Truckers Co." said the caller. "We have an idea to delay the Tsunami. We can line up, than knock down our trucks to form a barrier about 10 feet high that would protect the island by stopping the tsunami for about 30-40 minutes." "Okay" said the Mayor. "lets try it."
        About 10 minutes later a estimated 30 trucks and 3 cranes were headed toward Barren Beach Island, and several trucks and 2 cranes were headed for Pony Ranch. Within 20 minutes the trucks had created a barrier about ten feet tall. Several trucks were also stacked on top of each other in the channel between Shellville and Barren Beach Islands. The Mainland had also sent several dozen ferries to help evacuate, as Shellville Island was the only island in the Shellville Island Cluster that had a ferry (and it only had one for that matter) And the other islands had but two or three motorboats apiece.
