You may not have chosen it, it may have chosen you. Or it could be, you came to Carbon County because of work that was available, or a family situation which required you to be here. Regardless of the reason you are here, hopefully you have made the best of it.
Last week The Eagle, the College of Eastern Utah's school newspaper published its last issue of the school year. Traditionally this is the issue in which the freshman on the newspapers staff start to talk about the next school year and the graduating sophomores wax on about their experiences in Price and eastern Utah.
I try to read each and every issue of The Eagle because it gives me a different perspective on the community we know as higher education in our area. But I always find this final issue of the year most interesting because, being the last issue, the student journalists often get things off their chest that they have not been as willing to let go of before.
Some years the departing writers blast the area for not having enough to do, for Price being kind of a "hick town", and for the local culture here. This year however was predominantly different from that. Most had a good feeling about the area and the people they had met; not all but most.
I guess what I found very interesting was how many of the writers say their attitudes about eastern Utah has changed since they began school as a freshman at CEU. Some said they just didn't know what to expect; some thought that living in a little town after living a big city all their lives would be weird and tough; others said the parents had not really wanted them to come to school here.
Regardless of their initial feelings, however, most were leaving with love (or at least a liking) for this place in their heart. For them to gain this kind of respect for an area many of them never knew much about until they came here is a big plus for Carbon County. Sure some of them cited shortcomings of the area as well, but in some ways those kinds of things seemed to endear the area to them as much as drive them away.
Recently I visited my sister in Dallas, Texas for a week. Her and her husband have lived in Texas for about 12 years. Before my brother-in-laws career in the cellular phone industry, he had been in the military for over two decades. Over those and subsequent years they have lived in places like Panama, Hawaii, North Carolina, Kentucky and others. My sister told me that, when they moved to Texas, she never expected much, In fact, she was sure she would not like it.
Today, they have a bumper sticker hanging from the wall of their home office that says, "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could."
They have come to love Texas and admire its good qualities.
I have often heard many local people, many who were born here, complain about Carbon County and eastern Utah. They say we don't have enough of this or that or too little of this or that. I say to them, wake up and smell the rabbit brush.
No place is perfect for everyone or anyone. I am a transplant here, coming to the area 19 years ago after living in Salt Lake most of my life, but also having spent time living around the state in various places and in southern California for a while.
While some who live in Utah consider this place to be a gas stop to Moab, I call it home with pride.
Once I have uttered the line about home, unless they ask, I don't tell them I am not a native. I love this place.
When people who come to a place for a set amount of time for some specific reason can leave that area saying it is a pretty good spot to live, we ought to take note. There are many Utahns who can't wait to get the hell out of this state, but using my experience and others I have talked with, it is what you make of it. No state has more natural beauty, but no state has such a unique culture as Utah does either; a culture that sometimes turns many people away.
You can talk about a church run state, or odd liquor laws, state senators who are bigots or one party control of government. But regardless or maybe because of those things, this is a great place to live.
Neither this state, nor this area is perfect. But just the same, we should take pride in our place in the sun, in this state and in the people who make up Carbon County.

Suicides by local teens continue to alarm and concern local residents and public officials, but most people are unprepared to deal with the results. On March 26 local officials will make a concerted effort to raise awareness of the public on the troubling trend- some are calling it an epidemic- and offer suggestions for prevention.
The Community Awareness on Suicide Prevention Conference is slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. in the BTAC, located at 375 South Carbon Avenue in Price. There is no registration fee.
A quick glance at the youth suicide statistics for Utah show why local mental health officials are concerned:
Eighty to 90 percent of Utah youth suicides are male.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Utah males ages 10-34 and the third leading cause of death for residents 35-44 and the fourth leading cause of death for residents age 45-54.
Firearms are the most common method of death for Utah youth suicide completers.
Utah youth are most likely to complete suicide in their homes.
Ninety-three percent of Utah suicides aged 13-21 were Caucasians.
Sixty-five percent of Utah youth suicide completers had involvement with the Juvenile Justice system and 41 percent had involvement with DCFS, yet most were not seeing a therapist at the time of death.
Seventy-two percent of Utah youth suicide ages 13-18 are enrolled in school.
Local therapist Kyle Elder, PhD, says any suicide leaves an entire community devastated and wishing they had done something to prevent it.
"Whenever it happens we have a lot of local people in the area who are affected by it and there are always more we don't hear about," said Elder, "and it's something that is difficult or nearly impossible for us to prepare for."
Elder said a nearly universal response is for people to feel a deep sense of loss and a strong need to identify with it because it's really painful.
"Whenever a local teen commits suicide, I have a lot of students come to me and say their best friend just committed suicide. When I check into it, they really weren't their best friend, just an acquaintance. That feeling of closeness and loss felt by survivors is their way of dealing with a loss of control and their way of dealing with their grief," explained Elder.
The family of the victim must go through the normal grieving process, while community members feel confused and don't know what to do. That is compounded by our lack of understanding on why this would happen and why they would do that.
"We all must do a lot of soul-searching," said Elder.
Four Corners Substance Abuse Coordinator, Liz Ferguson often councils with teens following a local teen suicide.
"Teens talk to me about how overwhelmed they feel and sometimes they have suicidal thoughts or feeling themselves. Often they come to me as a result of some event or series of events that they personally find overwhelmingly traumatic or distressing," said Ferguson.
"The feedback I get from teens about suicide is that there are kids out there talking about suicide. Some teens haven't been taught the coping skills needed to deal with a sometimes overwhelming world."
Events that can trigger suicidal thoughts include:
Being removed from the home of biological family and placed in foster care.
A split with a boyfriend of girlfriend.
An appearance in court.
An especially violent family dispute.
An arrest.
Family members are usually hit the hardest and normally struggle to understand why it happened and usually feel guilty for not doing something to prevent it.
"Most family members want to feel responsible and to blame themselves. They either take the blame or want to feel responsible. They often feel like if they had only talked to them (the victim), or if they had not left them alone, or not allowed them to take the car, or the girlfriend feels like if she hadn't broken up with him, that wouldn't have happened," said Elder.
Elder emphasized that suicide is a decision made by one person and if that person is bound and determined to end his or her life, no one else is responsible.
"We must allow them to be responsible," he said.
Younger siblings of the victim become very frightened because they often don't understand death and that leaves them unsure of their future. They can act out and cause further problems for the family.
Additional responses by families can include denial that the death was a suicide.
"Families can deny it was a suicide and can claim it was an accident. It looks better if it was an accident, because that protects the image of the family. An accidental overdose or accidental shooting is perceived as being better. They just don't want to admit there was a serious problem in the family," said Elder.
Ferguson said even the best home are being affected by this nationwide problem.
"More teens than ever are in need of help and parents are looking for new solutions to this old problem," she said.
The March 26 conference will feature two improv presentations by a local teen group called Turn Around. The presentations will explore why teens commit suicide and how if affects those around them.
An update will also be given on a recent study of Utah suicides and a panel of experts and family members impacted by local suicides will discuss the issue. The panel will also be made up of officials from the National Association of the Mentally Ill, Carbon School District, local clergy and the Children's Center in Salt Lake City.
The final item on the agenda is a call to action for the local community.
"As a community we don't expect suicide and we don't know what to look for. There are signals, but we're usually not very good at identifying kids at risk and frequently it's those we wouldn't identify even if we looked," said Elder. "We try to keep suicides secret and we act like it's not OK to talk about them. Families have a very difficult time dealing with it and it's very, very painful."

JERUSALEM (MarketWatch) — It was too much, too late.
The Bank of Turkey's drastic monetary action Tuesday night was enough to stem, but not offset, the lira's tailspin. It will, however, stifle growth, and while at it expose Turkey's political ailments, humble other emerging markets, and — along with other emerging economies — help rehabilitate the dollar.
The lira USDTRY, +0.6428% had lost one-fifth its value between last month and last Monday, plunging from 2.0 to 2.4 to the dollar, and one-third since this time last year, when it traded at 1.8 to the dollar.
The central bank, after months of inaction that were excused as a means for ensuring continued growth, finally moved Tuesday, when it more than doubled the benchmark seven-day repurchase rate from 4.5% to 10% while spiking the overnight lending rate from 7.75% to 12% and the corresponding borrowing rate from 3.5% to 8%.
Lenovo to Use Motorola to Break Into U.S. Market
Google sells handset business to Lenovo for nearly $3 billion. Bryan Ma of IDC tells the WSJ's Aaron Back how Motorola phones will give Lenovo a shortcut into the competitive U.S. Market.
Arithmetically, this is the sharpest action any developed economy's central bank has taken in recent years. Even so, the markets responded skeptically.
After initially soaring more than 4% to 2.15 to the dollar, the lira slid back 2% to 2.26 by the end of Wednesday, and to 2.27 as trading began Thursday. Why? Because investors suspect that the setting in which the Bank of Turkey must work will prove too wild for its task, no matter how professionally it works.
Tragic hero
The monetary saga in Turkey has a hero. Bank of Turkey Gov. Erdem Basci is universally respected as a brilliant economist and an impartial public servant. Yet he has been challenged with more than merely fostering price stability, which is what ordinary central bankers are mandated to do.
The 47-year-old Basci finds himself in the improbable role of anti-authoritarian torchbearer, after Prime Minister Recep Erdogan publicly pressured him to violate his professional commitment and avoid hiking rates. Though he has a business degree, and as such should be able to detect economic gibberish before speaking it, Erdogan said he is always against raising interest rates. That's about as plausible as running naked into a snowstorm while declaring opposition to bad weather.
It would have been sad enough to voice this kind of view as an abstraction, but Erdogan's statements came across not as abstractions, but as instructions, meant to keep the currency weak, and the economy overheated, ahead of local elections in March.
Such populism would be devastating for any economy, but even more so for Turkey's, whose previous regime lost power 11 years ago amid a currency collapse.
Had he worked in another setting, Basci would have raised rates months ago, considering Turkey's current-account deficit, which means that the country is spending too much foreign currency. Higher rates reduce imports because they make households' borrowing more expensive and saving more lucrative.
But Basci worked in a setting where the prime minister was battling simultaneously the Supreme Court, the army, the media, police investigators, foreign diplomats, and street rioters. Volunteering to join this list would not come easily to anyone. Then again, that is what Basci did, especially with his action having been as sharp as it was.
Investors loathe this political volatility, and cannot assume that Basci, with all due respect to the guts he has just displayed, will be able to continue to work as politically undisturbed as other central bankers do. Moreover, the central bank can do little if Erdogan now orders the Treasury to accelerate borrowing, despite its rising costs, in order to increase spending.
