Newsroom Reel

Stan Hurst at San Juan Building Supply has been giving area residents shelter from the storm since 1989, now it’s time for a big thank you. In case you aren’t aware of it, the big home improvement stores have nothing on this local fixture. If all you care about is price and think the big guys can get it to you cheaper, think again. Anyone crunching numbers will realize that the distance you have to travel to one of those will quickly gobble up any saving you might have gained off a 2x4 that was priced a few cents cheaper. And most times that is all the price difference you will see on such items. Many times Stan can match or beat their price.  After several build projects it became more than apparent that apples to apples, I was saving money by spending it with the local guy. 

San Juan County residents have recognized Wagon Wheel Pizza as a winner since 1984. When owner Susie Peebles opened up shop Ronald Reagan was finishing his first term in the White House, the internet was a 1 year old, and a company called Apple had just started selling the first Macintosh computer. A lot has changed. But not the quality at Wagon Wheel. 

Sometimes you need to just get far from the fray, and find an endless, open space with scenic vistas and a great big sky.

Congratulations to Utah Navajo Health System, CEO Mike Jensen, of Blanding, who was recently named one Utah Business Magazine's CEOs of the Year. Being awarded this honor demonstrates Mike as a CEO who is making waves in 2020 and setting an example for the next generation of executive leaders.
