Today’s special election results are in, and voters made their intentions clear: no new taxes. The specific purpose excise tax proposed would have funded a $28 million aquatic center in Evanston, an access road in Bear River, sewer repairs in Lyman, park improvements in Mountain View and new vehicles for local firefighters and ambulance crews. With a 57% turnout, voters in Uinta County sided against the proposal with 3,611 votes against and 1,566 votes for the countywide improvements. Read more in this week’s Uinta County Herald.

Thursday night was an exciting one for the EHS volleyball team, as the Lady Devils upset No. 5-ranked Star Valley in a 5-set thriller, 3-2!
Evanston won the first two sets, and appeared poised to win the match in a sweep. But as is the case whenever these two teams meet, it wouldn’t be that easy. SV won the next two sets to force the 5th-set tiebreaker. Down 10-5 in the final set, the Lady Devils battled back to win the final set — and the match — 17-15!
Way to go, Evanston!!
