As we grow up we are taught to conform to the way things are and to be “realistic.” You can’t make a living as a musician we’re told. Taylor Swift didn’t learn that. You need a college education to be successful. Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, and Mark Zuckerberg didn’t accept that. You can’t live on another planet. Our grandchildren will probably laugh at that, thanks to unrealistic people that Do you ever wonder why some people are able to are making it possible. The most interesting and succeed in spite of enormous obstacles and others successful people in the world are unrealistic… are stopped by small setbacks? I don’t pretend to sometimes even considered unreasonable in their know all the reasons for this, but there is one quality expectations.

The where they come from. Real leaders suffer from a unreasonables inspire a future that is far better than condition that is incurable; they all have unrealistic the world reasonable people would have us settle for. expectations. They believe that every problem Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad has a solution. They believe that they can solve Yunus described it to me this way. He said, “Real some significant problem that no one else has been leaders are able to see something that is unclear to able to solve. Somehow they were not properly others, but once described, they say, “yes, that’s it… domesticated as children into accepting the world that’s what we want.” as it is. They find it impossible to accept the concept Richard Branson may have summed it up best that they are powerless to change things. They have when he shared that “Real leaders see opportunities been told repeatedly that they are crazy, foolhardy, where others see only challenges.” unreasonable and unrealistic. And that is true! I must confess, the Real Leaders team is comprised It’s unrealistic for a 16 year-old girl to think that she of unrealistic people who believe that the world can prevail over the Taliban and be a world leader can be led by gender-balanced teams of visionary for girls education, but Malala earned a Nobel Peace leaders, and that we are all born to lead in our own Prize for doing just that. It’s unrealistic for a girl who way.

From 1951 to 1996, the site was a gas station, and until last year when the land was pur- chased by the county, was the site of Mario’s Tires. According to Kari Sagers, director of Tooele County Emergency Management, the gas station had a used oil drain that went down into an underground tank. Apparently, she said, over the years the well had cracked and the used oil seeped into the soil. “When they closed down the gas station, they took out the underground tanks, checked those out, sampled the ground and got clean samples,” Sagers said. But as excavation and digging began, crews detected a heavy smell of oil and informed the health department that there was some ground that needed to be evaluated, accord- ing to Bucky Whitehouse, public informa- photography / Troy Boman tion officer for the Tooele County Health Storm clouds roll over a pasture full of grazing cows in Erda Monday.

  • Newsletter | January 2017
    Newsletter | January 2017 Designed by kjpargeter/Freepik BOOK PAIRINGS – SAME BUT DIFFERENT It’s a fact that some things, for whatever scientific or social reasons, just go well together. Movies and popcorn. Milk and cookies. Laurel and Hardy. Wine and cheese. Separately each of these is fine. But when combined … well, they are just simply better, more memorable. This also holds true for some of my reading experiences. When I strategically combine certain books together it improves my appreciation for each book separately. If you were to read a new sci-fi novel like The Dark Side by Anthony O’Neill, followed up by a classic sci-fi title such as The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein, it would increase your appreciation for the sci-fi genre in a fun and unique way. In library lingo we call these “read-alikes.” They are the same. But different. Or you could read a horror novel set in London followed by a romance novel with the same setting. Both books highlight London but in very different ways. Same. But different. My favorite book pairings are when I combine fiction and nonfiction titles because these combos give me depth on a subject or setting, a sort of “3-D” reading experience. Often these pairings have rescued me from a reading rut and introduced me to new authors or genres. Let me give you an example of a fiction/nonfiction pairing: I read the classic novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville. Okay, it’s a bit draggy in the middle, but the first part and the last part of this huge tome are pure gold.

Sunday at 3:10 a.m. the Stardust space cap- sule gracefully alighted in the Tooele County desert during a break in the morning storm. The gray saucer-shaped capsule bounced three times leaving imprints in the wet earth — and getting mud on its nose — before resting intact with its precious bits of cometary and interstellar particles. After a seven-year trip of 2.88 billion miles, the capsule landed uncompromised just 7-8 kilo- meters north of the expected landing area. This time NASA experienced success. It was a stark contrast to over a year earlier when the Genesis sample crashed into the earth leaving researchers to sift through desert sands to find the highly coveted space particles. The Stardust spacecraft released its sample return capsule at 10:57 p.m. Saturday. The cap- sule entered the atmosphere at 2:57 a.m. Sunday and was visible in the crisp darkness of the sky for about 30 seconds. Spectators in Wendover and even in Dugway were able to see the light of the manmade “comet” in the sky and hear the sonic boom reverberate through the stillness. While most of the crowd in Wendover were SEE STARDUST ON A2 Die-hard space enthusiasts greet capsule photography / Troy Boman by Mark Watson STAFF WRITER Three in the morning was not the most convenient time for star gazing, but about 40 people showed up at the Wendover Airport Sunday to see the Stardust space capsule streak through the sky en route to its touchdown in the west desert.
