Recycling in Daggett County
At the request of Tri County Health Department Daggett County’s recycling program in Manila was discontinued in late March. We have been getting lots of inquiries regarding restarting the program, but have no
location to store or sort the recyclable materials received. If you have a large barn, garage or other storage area that you would like to donate for the next 3 or 4 months we would be interested in speaking with
you. The County is working on grants to build a new building, but even if the applications are successful
we are three to four
months away from building a new recycling facility. If you feel
the recycling program is beneficial we would encourage you to
make a tax deductible donation to the Community Foundation of
Utah (423 West 800 South – Suite #A101; Salt Lake City, UT
84101) on behalf of the Flaming Gorge Country Community Foundation to show support for this program and enable us to find additional matching funds.
There are several locations where you can continue recycling
while we are working to find a new location: Green River (WY)
Public Works Recycling at 325 E. Teton Ave is open 24/7. Another good location is in Park City at Recycle Utah, which is located at 1951 Woodbine Way and is open Monday through Friday
8-5:30 and Saturdays from 10 -4.

L.E. “BUZZ” BUZARDE, JR
3/23/1933 ~ 7/20/2015
L.E “Buz” Buzarde, Jr was born March 23, 1933 to L.E and Etta Ferguson Buzarde in Greenwood
Mississippi. His athletic prowess earned him the nickname “Fleet Footed Sonny Buzarde” on the
high school football fields of Greenwood and Greenville, Mississippi. An accomplished student,
Buz graduated from Millsaps College after 2 1/2 years of study with a bachelor’s degree in Physics. Emory University awarded him a Masters of Geology 1 1/2 years later.
Buz worked for ARCO, Chevron and Gulf Oil from 1956 to 1973. In 1971, he transferred from New
Orleans, LA to Lagos, Nigeria as Supervisor of Drilling Engineering for Gulf. From 1973 to 1976 he
was successfully appointed Drilling Manager, Vice President and President of Natomas Company’s
Indonesian operations, based in Jakarta. In 1979 he was named President of Natomas International Corporation, overseeing operations in Indonesia, the North Sea, the People’s Republic of China, Australia and New
Guinea. In 1986, Buz transferred to Dallas, Texas as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations for Diamond Shamrock.
In 1987, Buz left Diamond to found his own company Star Oil & Gas.
Buz retired in 1990 and returned to “The Cabin”, the Flaming Gorge Acres retreat the whole family has called home since
1979. In 2002 Buz published Oil Patch, a novel of a life in the oil & gas industry. Although accomplished as an athlete, student, author and businessman, Buz’s forte was as a family man. He and his wife of 50 years Renee’ successfully guided
seven children with love, encouragement and a certain amount of expectation. Their dozen grandchildren and 6 great
grandchildren remember a powerful loving and inspiring force.
Expectations of success in the Buzarde family did not mean all work and no play. Work hard/Play hard was more the motto.
Buz and Renee took the older kids on great adventures as they moved through the world. The younger ones remember
“Camp Cabin”, where FUN was the name of the game every summer: fishing, floating the Green, boating the Gorge, singing, dancing and watching family movies at “The Cabin”.
Buz was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Wanda Buzzarde and his sister-in-law, Verna Henderson Mealer. He is
survived by those who continue to be blessed by his influence on their lives: his wife Renee Henderson Buzarde; their children Vern (Rosa) Buzarde, Linda (Cliff) Grua, Lee (Jim) Gagon, Stewart (Kris) Shimmin, Laura Buzarde, Verna Inman, Brett
(Karen) Buzarde; Twelve grandchildren and six great grandchildren; Nephew Mike Mealer and Brother Dan (Rosa) Buzzarde.
Services were Thursday July 23, 2015 at the Ashley Valley Funeral Home.84078.

01/24/1957 ~ 06/30/2015
Richard Zohner, was born January 24, 1957 in Salt Lake City, Utah, son of Lewis
and Doris Rae Zohner. A Great Man, Husband and Friend passed away on July 1,
2015 in SLC after a long battle with health issues. Richard graduated from Manila
High School and Western Wyoming Community College with an Associate of Science Degree in Computer Information Systems. He worked for Reeds Motor and

many years. He worked for Daggett County with mosquito abatement, weed

Danny Lamb started Search and Rescue in Daggett County. During his life he was
a member of the County Ambulance Service, ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency
Services) and the Manila Fire Department. He found that fighting fires and amateur radio were his loves. Richard volunteered as a fire fighter for over 32 years, and Fire Chief for over
20 years, and was on the radio until his last call. While he was a member of the LEPC he worked with tenacity to obtain grant money for communication upgrades for all County and emergency services and piece

amateur radio protocols and assisted people within the community in obtaining their amateur radio licenses. He also taught extrication to EMT students. He truly had a talent in photography which he shared
with many of his friends. He is survived by his wife Tammy Reynolds, granddaughter Grace Baker, Johnny
and Sami Baker, Tamaira Tolbert, cousins Sharon (Mac) Mathews, Doug (Kris) Wheeler, Pat Thatcher, Connie (Ed) Dansie, Joe (Dawn) Wheeler, Rick, Dan, Jeanie Lavender. He was preceded in death by his

JESSE G. JACKSON
07/28/1935 ~ 07/19/2015
Jesse George Jackson passed away July 19, 2015 in Flaming Gorge, Utah. He was
born July 28, 1935 to Jesse and Florence Jackson in Springville, UT. There is no
doubt about it, Jesse Jackson lived life his way. He never thought of no as an
acceptable answer. If he wanted to do it he was going to do it, and he did it all.
He lived the life of a dozen men whether it be fishing in Alaska, hunting in Africa, floating the Green River, serving our country or jumping out of planes. He
was an adventurer to the extreme. He was a family man and made sure the ones
he loved also experienced the joys of an adventurous and outdoor life. He had
eaten at some of the nicest restaurants in the world but also enjoyed Spaghettio’s straight from the can or a gas station hot dog. He was passionate about everything he did in his life. His laughs were loud and his temper was hot, he felt
life at its deepest level of emotion. He was larger than life and would be impossible to forget. He started
several companies over the years. He hired those he loved and made sure their lives were blessed. He was
generous with his money, his stories, his laughter and his home. When his son Clay passed away a year and
a half ago, Jesse wrote: "I am looking forward to when Clay and I can catch resurrected fish with resurrected fly rods and then sit on the bank beside the stream and just chat." They are together now doing just
that. He did it his way in life and in death. Jesse Jackson, the Mentor, the Legend, the Man. 'GONE FISHIN'.
Survived by his children: LaVon (Kwan), Julie, Brett (Christi), Matt (Jessica), Jessica, Danny, and his family of friends. His many Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren will miss him deeply. He is now with his
parents Jesse and Florence Jackson, his sister Jeanine Fritzsche, his son Clay Jackson and many close departed friends. Join us on his 80th birthday to celebrate his life. The service was held by the pond of Wasatch Lawn Mortuary on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, 3401 S Highland Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84106. - See more
