Senior Center turmoil

On Dec. 2, the Uinta County Herald reported problems the Uinta Senior Center was experiencing due to the lack of a physical presence of executive director Aimee Ottley and what appeared to be a non-working board of directors.

Casey Davis, board chair of the senior center recently, appointed his sister Sen. Wendy Schuler, cousin Mike Davis and Joy Bell as board members and hired his niece Bobbi Brown as interim director. Those appointments were announced at a hastily called board meeting on Thursday, Dec. 1. There were major concerns brought forward at that meeting by senior citizens and by local residents. Maryl Thompson, Teresa Odell and Dave St. Priest said they had applied to be on the board and they were ignored.
