Matheson talks oil, gas during visit B B1 - HEADER

By Ranae Bangerter Vernal Express
Energy industry representatives and commissioners from Duchesne and Uintah counties expressed their frustrations to Rep. Jim Matheson about Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s new “wild lands” policy during the Democratic congressman’s visit Wednesday to the Uintah Basin. March 2, “IWednesday, was surprised and a bit disappointed,” Matheson said about Salazar’s Dec. 23 order that gives the Bureau of Land Management the ability to designate areas with wilderness characteristics as “wild lands” to manage and protect their wilderness values. “I have real concerns about why this proposal is even out there in the first place,” Mathe-
son said, “and what the motivations were behind it.” Matheson said he’s asked Salazar for clarification on the policy and whether it is, in fact, a change in position, and if so, what does the policy really mean. At Wednesday’s meeting, Matheson reported that he hadn’t heard back from the secretary on those issues. Many more questions about the policy change were raised in 2011 - Vernal Express the one-hour round table meeting. Duchesne County Commissioner Kent Peatross voiced his frustrations about a new designation of wild lands. “We’ve already got a designation on these lands, (do) we put another designation on top of them and call them wild lands as well, or do we have to go out

and fund something else, some additional properties to be called wild lands?” Peatross asked. Duchesne County Commission Chairman Kirk Wood said one of the scariest things about Salazar’s policy shift was that it was coming from the top down. “I’m a firm believer that the people on the land are closest to it should be best prepared to make decisions that are good for the land,” he said. Matheson agreed, saying that he didn’t think a top down approach was the right way to go. “I think a bottom up approach, with folks at the local level engaging, is the best way to make decisions,” he said.

Governor fires Cuch By Geoff Liesik Vernal Express
Gov. Gary Herbert has dismissed Forrest Cuch as the director of the state Division of Indian Affairs, a position he had held since 1997. Wednesday, March Herbert spokeswoman Ally Isom said Thursday’s move was made because the governor “chose to take the division in a new direction.” She declined to comment further on what that direction is or on Cuch’s dismissal, which she referred to as a “personnel action.” Cuch, however, in an e-mail addressed to family, friends and colleagues, said he was given no reason for his termination before writing that there had been “some controversy” surrounding Indian Affairs issues in the state. The issues cited by Cuch, an enrolled member of the Ute Indian Tribe who was born and raised on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, include the ongoing effort to address law enforcement jurisdiction in the Uintah

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar introduced a “wild lands” policy that scrapped a 7-year-old agreement between one of his Bush administration predecessors and former Gov. Mike Leavitt. The new policy directed the BLM to inventory — and in many cases re-inventory — lands that it administered in the West to determine if additional protections were warranted. “The wild lands policy describes the open process for taking a good look at these lands and hearing from the public, states, local officials, and tribes on how they should be used to meet our multiple-use mission responsibilities,” BLM Director Bob Abbey said in a press release sent to Utah media outlets at about 4 p.m. EDT. “This is a common sense approach that also makes sound economic sense,” Abbey added. “Last year, hunting, fishing, and other recreational uses of BLM lands generated $7.4 billion for local economies throughout the West.” Since 2003, when its wilderness inventory handbook was revoked as a result of what the BLM news release called a “controversial” out-of-court settlement between then-Interior Secretary

Gale Norton, the state of Utah, and other parties, agency said it has lacked “comprehensive, long-term guidance on how to identify and manage lands with wilderness characteristics.” The policy shift, announced by Salazar two days before Christmas, has drawn fiery criticism from Utah’s elected officials at the local, state and federal levels. Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, said Wednesday that Secretarial Order 3310 flies directly in the face of what Abbey told a congressional hearing in early 2010. “I’m disappointed they came out with this policy,” Matheson said, during a meeting with the editorial boards of the Uintah Basin Standard and Vernal Express. The congressman said Abbey testified during House Natural Resources Committee hearing that the position of the Obama administration was that there shouldn’t be a statewide approach to public land management in Utah, but rather a locally driven approach like the one implemented in Washington County. “Now, suddenly we’re in a

Tavern could face probe after patron crashes SUV A Fort Duchesne bar may face a state probe over claims that it served too much alcohol to a Roosevelt man who was later involved in a crash on U.S. Highway 40. BJay Lee Nagel was ejected from his vehicle after slamming into a guardrail Feb. 15 at about 12:40 a.m. near the junction with state Road 88. Nagel, 38, was flown to University Hospital for treatment but has since been released. He was cited by the Utah Highway Patrol for driving under the influence of alcohol. Authorities investigating the crash found a receipt from Howdy’s Hilltop Tavern in Fort Duchesne totaling nearly $200, according to Uintah County Undersheriff John Laursen. “We do frequent bar checks to determine if minors are in the bars,” Laursen said. “But, we do not really know when too much alcohol is being served until later, when we see the DUIs or crashes.” Howdy’s manager Glenda Rogers, when contacted by the Vernal Express, declined to comment about the receipt police say they found following Nagel’s crash. When a problem does come to the attention of law enforcement, Laursen said, steps are taken to detect whether an establishment is over-serving customers or fail-

Matheson Continued from A1 Indian Tribe also expressed concerns about the wild lands policy. “We view our lands as sacred,” said Ute Tribe Business Committee member Philip Chimburas. “The tribe has always protected and preserved certain sacred and pristine areas, and opened other areas for development.” Chimburas mentioned that the tribe is beginning to get into active development of its natural resources, which includes a drilling program. He told Matheson that the Utes are having trouble getting permits to drill on tribal land, stating that only four of 40 permits go through each month.
Matheson said he would look into the issue. Uintah County Commissioner Mike McKee also spoke about the BLM’s relationship with the county. He said he appreciated the relationship the county and the local BLM office has forged but added that it seems like Washington, D.C., policies “threw that all upside down.” McKee said only 15 percent of the land in Uintah County is privately owned, and the majority of the economy is oil and gas based. He said constant change in policy is creating uncertainty for companies who were planning on coming to the county and is putting projects on hold. “You wouldn’t believe how much investment will be here if we can have decent policy,” McKee said in a meeting with the

Vernal Express after Matheson’s visit. “When companies are going to invest large sums of money, they need to have predictability,” McKee said. McKee is part of a group of county commissioners from four states — as well as the governors of Utah and Idaho — who were invited to testify during an oversight hearing on the wild lands policy in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, after press time. Another large concern for the group that met with Matheson is a possible change in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s air quality policies, set to take place June 12. “If that were to happen, likely the only places in the country that could meet those standards would be along the coasts,” McKee said. “We all want to have good, clean air but we need it to be so it’s not so cumbersome that it’s not even attainable.” Jeremy Patterson, an attorney for the Ute Tribe, said oil and gas are the “life blood” of the economy, but said the tribe is running into trouble trying to follow EPA regulations. “Of course the tribe wants to develop it’s resources in a sustainable way,” Patterson said, “but the concern, I think, is the current practices of the EPA are frustrating that role.” Matheson pledged to look into the matter, but added, everyone will have to wait until the EPA regulations are officially released to find out what they really mean. “We’re dealing with a number of issues that are confusing to us, and new things get layered on top as we go,” he said. “It’s like, we’re selling you new items, but we need to resolve the ones that are on the table already, and we’re not getting much response.”

Cuch ousted Continued from A1 He said there was no indication he was going to be dismissed and no expression of appreciation in the letter he received informing him that he had been fired. “I don’t know if the governor or lieutenant governor really understood or appreciated what I did,” Cuch said. “I’m disappointed at that. I think I did a good job.” Sen. Kevin Van Tassell, RVernal, who sits on the Native American Legislative Liaison Committee, said Friday that he knew very little about Cuch’s departure. “Just found out about it myself. The information I received was the governor was changing directions or focus,” Van Tassell wrote in an e-mail response to the Standard’s request for comment. “I have enjoyed my relationship with Forrest and his leadership in several areas over the past four years,” the senator added. The Ute Tribe Business Committee, in a statement issued late Monday, said while it recognized Herbert has the authority to dismiss political appointees like Cuch, it “objects to the fact that the Ute Indian Tribe and other tribes in Utah were not consulted in advance of the decision or provided with any explanation of the reasons for Mr. Cuch’s termination.” The Business Committee has sent a letter to Herbert request-

District PLCs Continued from A1 that they serve.” As teachers meet, they follow a four-question guideline to help students succeed: • What should students learn? • How do teachers know if a student is learning? • What do teachers do if a student is not learning? • What do teachers do if a student already knows the concept? In the meetings teachers are able to discuss students on three different tiers — students on grade level, students who are struggling a little, and students who are struggling more. Davis Elementary School Principal Kathy Farnsworth said teachers have always cared about the students, but now “it’s just gotten better.” “We just are focusing more on, ‘did they get it?’” Farnsworth said. In her two years as principal, Farnsworth said she’s seen students progress from tier three to tier two, and from tier two to tier one. Dockins said PLCs are essentially a weekly checkup, rather than an end-of-year autopsy. But school district Student Services Director Kevin Dickson said the “autopsy” is also important. “What you do with the autopsy is, you examine it to see what we need to do (for next year),” Dickson said. But at the Feb. 8 school board meeting where the PLC resolution was passed one teacher said he didn’t see the data to support the program. “I can’t honestly tell you that this program has changed my kids’ learning in my class,” Uintah High School English teacher Gil Limb told the board. “Show me that data that proves that this is working,” Limb said. Dockins said he has shown the schools the data that proves PLCs are working. The district does weekly tests created by the Northwest Evaluation Association. The tests evaluate what a student learned in a given week; and because
ing an explanation for Cuch’s dismissal and a March 23 meeting with the governor to address their concerns about the future of the state’s relationship with the tribes. “To the extent that the governor’s plan to take the Division of Indian Affairs Office in a ‘new direction’ includes an abandonment of the policy Mr. Cuch had worked to establish, where the state protects and promotes tribal interests, we will not support this,” said Business Committee Chairman Richard Jenks Jr., in the statement. Jenks’ predecessor as chairman, Curtis Cesspooch, called Cuch’s dismissal “really shocking.” The men have known each other for decades and worked together on a number of issues over the years. “He did as much as he could with the authority that he had,” Cesspooch said. “He was really supportive of Indian tribes and wanted to make sure that they were treated justly. He pushed hard for all of that.” Cuch was also a proponent of educating non-Indians about the history of Utah’s earliest inhabitants and of keeping Native traditions alive. He was a driving force behind KUED’s five-part companion series to the PBS documentary “We Shall Remain,” a multimedia project that examined the Native American contribution to the United States over three centuries. Cesspooch speculated that the governor’s decision may have been made based on financial
considerations. “Gov. Herbert has always been a supporter of Indian tribes and I wonder how this decision came about and whether a lot of it had to do with the budget,” Cesspooch said. Isom, the governor’s spokeswoman, said the firing had nothing to do with balancing the state budget. She emphasized Herbert’s longstanding desire to foster strong relationships with Utah’s tribes. “There is no intention whatsoever to eliminate the Division of Indian Affairs,” Isom said. “When (Herbert) was lieutenant governor, he actually launched the Native American Summit.” Lt. Gov. Greg Bell has been assigned to oversee the state’s interaction with the tribes until a replacement for Cuch is named. Tribal leaders will be consulted to identify qualified candidates for the director’s position, Isom said. “There’s no candidate immediately taking Forrest’s role,” she said. “We want to make sure the right candidate is selected.” As for Cuch, he said he plans to focus on personal goals after 35 years in public service, but will most likely set up a consulting firm to assist Native American tribes. He will continue to focus on education but said he will add an emphasis on healthy living as well. “I’ve done a lot to improve my own health,” Cuch said. “I’m feeling really good about that and want to share that with my people.”
the tests are computerized, all the teachers in the district and members of the school board can see the data on their own computers. Unlike the CRTs that No Child Left Behind is based on, the NWEA test compares student progress to the nation, not just the state. Dockins said thanks to the NWEA test, district schools are above the 50th percentile in the nation in math, language and reading for the first time in three years. “That’s huge, that’s powerful, and all of our schools are going up,” Dockins said. “I just think that gives one more line of evidence that what we’re doing is really working.” Another concern from the school board meeting was about the time required for PLC’s. Mary Moulton, past president of the Uintah County Education Association, complained that school PLC time was being monopolized by administrators. “There is a difference between us being able to have an open discussion about what works and doesn’t work, and when the teacher’s perception is that we are being told what to do,” Moulton said. This year is the first where the district has set aside an hour or two in all of the schools for PLC time. The district also paid for specialists to come in for two hours and teach students art, music, media and computer skills, while the teachers meet for two hours, Farnsworth said. “We couldn’t do it without district support and financial backing from the district,” she said. At Vernal Middle School the program is slightly different. The school has a late start on Mondays for PLC time. Middle school special education teacher Michelle Allen said she’s glad that time is set aside, because she would be there anyways. “I don’t feel as stressed or as tense having to fit all of that in,” she said. “It’s about doing what’s right for the kids, not what’s right for me as an educator.” The concept of PLCs also encourages teachers to collaborate with each other and share what is working in their classrooms
to help students and teachers. For years, Dockins said, teachers have been working in isolation, rarely sharing ideas. PLCs require teachers to talk with each other. “It would be malpractice for us to say, ‘OK, you get to choose to be isolationist,’” Dockins said about the new policy. Two biology teachers at Uintah High School said the collaboration is working for them; but it didn’t come without resistance. “I thought it was going to be a lot more work,” said biology teacher Tom Elder, who now appreciates the process. Elder collaborates regularly with fellow biology teacher Rebekah Jones. They coordinate labs, share PowerPoint presentations and combine shopping trips for supplies. “She and I have been sharing things so extensively, it seems to be having an affect, certainly, on my emotional perception of how I’m teaching, (and) how good I feel about the job I’m doing,” Elder said. Jones agreed, saying some students may never take a class from the teacher down the hall, but if they collaborate, all of the students “should be able to get the best product that both (teachers) have put together.” But Elder said, it can be tough to collaborate. “I think there is some resistance to opening up all of the stuff that you have developed over the years and just giving it away, like a party favor, to other teachers,” he said. Again, Jones agreed. “Some teachers feel like ‘This is my activity, and I don’t want you doing that with your students,’” she said, “because you feel like you’ve put a lot of time and energy into that.” Dockins said he wasn’t surprised about the comments made against PLCs at the board meeting, but he also said they represent a minority opinion. Of the 231 district teachers who responded to a survey about PLCs, he said, most support the change to weekly meetings. “The reason why we have a PLC is to ensure that every child that we deal with gets what they need to succeed,” Dockins said. “They have to have that.”

Vernal man now faces Whiterocks man charged with child sex abuse 34 child porn charges B1 - HEADER By Mary Bernard Vernal Express
A preliminary hearing last week for a Vernal man accused of sexually exploiting two teenage girls was halted almost as soon as it began. Brandon Russell Gale entered Wednesday’s hearing charged with 42 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a seconddegree felony. But minutes into the hearing, 8th District Judge Ed Peterson moved it from the courtroom to his chambers to allow the prosecution and defense to view a DVD disc containing alleged pornographic materials. The adjournment to chambers was ordered after Vernal police detective Ben Murray began testifying about his receipt of the DVD from the regional computer forensics laboratory in Salt Lake City. The disc is said to contain digital images and videos downloaded by the lab from Gale’s computer and cell phone. When the hearing resumed in open court, defense attorney Richard Mauro argued that most of the images contained on the DVD did not meet the legal definition of pornography, but rather constituted material of an artistic nature. Prosecutors agreed to request the dismissal of the charges related to eight of the images, but maintained that the remaining 34 images or videos met the statutory definition of sexual exploitation of a minor. Peterson agreed that the 34 images and videos had been made

They are also taught to watch for trouble before it happens, she said. “We look for people coming into the bar already intoxicated,” Coyne said. “We really don’t know how much someone has had when they come in, so we

The case against Gale, 22, stems from the alleged discovery of a cache of pictures and videos — taken over a period of several days in 2008 — that involved two 17-year-old girls. The investigation was initiated by the Vernal Police Department after one of the teens contacted an officer about the images. Gale cooperated with the investigation, according to police. Peterson dismissed eight of the 42 charges against Gale and bound him over to stand trial on the remaining counts. A status hearing is scheduled for March 23.

they don’t realize that uncertainty is a cost. Risk is cost,” he said. “That’s what you learn in your first year in business school. … Whether it’s legislative uncertainty or regulatory uncertainty, there’s a cost to the private sector. Uncertainty leaves everyone in a bad spot.” Abbey told The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday that 4.8 million acres in Utah had previously been cataloged with wilderness characteristics. He wasn’t sure how many of those would end up proposed as wild lands. “Again, they have not been
determined or designated as wild lands,” Abbey told the Tribune, “but, from earlier inventories, we do know there are sizable acres in Utah that possess wilderness character.” In the BLM press release about the new guidelines, Abbey reiterated that Salazar’s order “doesn’t change the management of a single acre of public land.” “(It) simply broadens the management tools available through the public land-use planning process,” he said.
watch for all those things that say they are drunk.” When bar staff determine a patron is too drunk to be served any more alcohol, Coyne said she and her crew have a method for cutting the person off, and possibly saving their life. “First, we offer them soda or coffee to help sober them up,” Coyne said. “We also ask them if they want a cab. These are things we do any time we feel someone has had too much to drink. We always are adamant about offering a cab and have gone as far as to pay for some people to ride home.” State law requires bartenders and bar owners to watch their customers’ alcohol intake closely. They can be cited for over-serving. Abe Kader, a regional compliance investigator and trainer for the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, is one of the people on the front line of ensuring the proper service of liquor, beer and wine in the Uintah Basin. “We provide training on portions and how not to over-serve or serve to minors,” Kader said. “For instance, it’s the law that you can only have a certain number of mixed drinks or liquor at a time. We train bar owners and bartenders on how to stay within the law.” Utah law requires establishments serving liquor to use a metered dispensing system known as a “clicker” when pouring. The units are calibrated to dispense no more than 1.5 ounces of liquor in a mixed drink. Other alcoholic
flavorings, such as schnapps, liqueur and triple sec may then be added to a cocktail as long as it does not exceed a total of 2.5 ounces of liquor in the entire drink. Additionally, all bartenders in the state are required to take an alcohol servers course, which is administered by private companies throughout the region. “These courses help bartenders identify people that might already be intoxicated when they arrive and also helps them keep track of how much (patrons) drink while they are there,” Kader said. When over-serving or other alleged violations occur, the state Department of Public Safety is tasked with stepping in. Sgt. Jared Garcia, with the DPS Alcohol Enforcement Section, is part of a small group of police officers tasked with enforcing the law in Utah bars. “There are different types of inspections we conduct,” Garcia said. “We do overt inspections where we go into a bar and make contact with the owner and employees to make sure they are in compliance with state laws,” he said. “When it comes to overserving and things of that nature, though, we have covert, undercover operations where agents will enter a bar and investigate complaints.” The agents that investigate claims of over-serving, Garcia added, are fully versed in laws regarding what bars can and cannot do while pouring drinks for patrons.

We are alive and kicking By Kevin Ashby
Express Publisher
I have been noticing that some of the so-called experts — voices from other media and academia — keep predicting the demise of newspapers in our lifetime. They are wrong and let me tell you why. This misconception is frequently voiced by competitors on the Internet who state that newspapers outlived their usefulness and will soon be replaced by computers big and small. If you take a minute to analyze the claims that newspapers are dead, you will see that it doesn’t matter where you read the news, it still has to be sought, compiled and proofed by someone. And that is where newspapers excel. Our team of experienced reporters and editors are at work every day gathering, absorbing, analyzing, reporting and editing so you can stay up-to-date on what’s happening in the Basin. The experienced reporting team is what is lacking with today’s throw-up-a-linkto-the-website practices — the accepted new norm of news reporting — which, by the way, is usually taken from stories already printed in newspapers. Our newspaper staff makes up this area’s most comprehensive Basin-wide news agency. Our photographers have been honored for taking some of this area’s most descriptive storytelling photos. If you look, we have already transitioned our presence to the Web in a way that compliments greatly our printed products; and if we are smart, we will put all of this power to work to best serve our readers, advertisers and communities. There is a need for us to continue printing the paper. This will not change any time soon. There is a growing demand to see our locally gathered news on the Web and we are addressing those trends. As a society our access to news, advertising and other forms of information is rising exponentially. There are more books, magazines and newspapers being published today than ever before. And this means people are reading more than they ever have. We are trying to keep up with the demand. Your newspaper is no longer just a printed chronicle of Uintah Basin local news. Our online version is being updated with breaking news that can be read from your favorite computer or electronic gadget. If you think about it, newspapers are securing their place in the future by focusing on hyper-local news coverage. Nobody does local news in the Basin better than we do. For us, this means that the future of news gathering and publishing has never been brighter.

From the Senate floor
By Sen. Kevin VanTassell
Utah State Legislature
I hope you all had a great Washington/Lincoln Day. I was grateful for the opportunity to remember the immense contributions of these great past leaders of our nation. The biggest news for this week is the budget again. The revenue estimates came in last Tuesday. Just as we had hoped, there will be a slight surplus in the tax proceeds. This means there will be an additional $34 million to the education budget and $13 million to the general fund that we can use to add to the base budgets we passed. The challenge we face now is the remaining structural deficit. Last year we budgeted to spend $313 more than we brought in. We can do that temporarily, using the Rainy Day Fund, federal stimulus money, and other one-time funding sources. But it is not sustainable in the long term. Our goal is to spend less than we make, which means we will need to continue to look carefully at what can be eliminated from our budget. By the same token, each proposed reduction must be tempered with the reality that there are people who depend on the services and programs that we might have to cut. These are truly difficult decisions. It was heartening to read a report last week showing that 52 percent of Utahns surveyed agree that we should indeed make cuts as opposed to maintaining our current spending levels. I see the economy improving and Utah being able to grow and meet the needs of education and other critical areas. Making wise decision as we finalize the budget will be one of our most important works in the process. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, addressed us on the floor last Tuesday. He reiterated his concern about the growing federal deficit and subversion of state responsibility. He said that unless the federal government is required by a constitutional mandate, as Utah is, to balance its budget, we have little reason to hope for anything but increasing debt. On Thursday, we recognized Utah’s Special Olympians and on Friday, Utah’s fallen soldiers. Throughout the past week, I have worked with senators Oklerlund, Hinkins, and Stowell to bring Senate Bill 221 to the floor. This bill is a result of work the governor’s office, State Lands,the counties, and many others for the past 2 months. We address in one bill the impacts of the “Wild Lands” order on the multiple use of our BLM lands. The bill went to committee Friday and passed out to the floor for work this week. Medicaid reform is progressing. Funding Medicaid is a huge budget issue in every state and has the potential to cause massive financial problems, even to the point of bankruptcy in some states. Our state is poised to be on top of the problem, and other states are looking to us for leadership. One of the other big issues for the past week was immigration. Sen. Bramble introduced the concept of a new immigration bill this past week; here is an address to a podcast of the press conference, if you would like to listen: www.senatesite. com/home/bramble_immigration. I would appreciate your input on this issue. There are many voices in this debate and many perspectives to consider. Currently we have 14 bills dealing with immigration. Feel free to contact me any time. The best way is kvantassell@utahsenate.org or my cell phone at 435-790-0675. Sen. Kevin Van Tassell, R-Vernal, represents District 26 in the Utah State Senate. The district includes Duchesne and Uintah counties.

OIL shale delay unwarranted Dear Editor, On Feb. 15, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that his department will be taking a “fresh look” at federal oil shale regulations. Unfortunately, he gave no time line for starting or completing the review. He even said there was no urgency to his new review, because commercial production might still be many years away. Well, commercial production might still be many years away, because of his anti-oil shale policies! A few years ago, research into oil shale was advancing steadily under Bush administration policies. Six research, demonstration, and development (RD&D) leases were offered in Colorado and Utah. Draft regulations were issued. These actions offered energy companies a path to turn their research investments into commercial production — as long as they met strict environmental standards. In other words, companies were given sufficient “regulatory certainty” to make these big investments, because they knew the ground-rules. A second round of RD&D leases were in the works when President Bush left office. Enter President Obama and Salazar. The second round of RD&D leases were withdrawn. The draft regulations were repealed. We mostly hear skepticism about oil shale from this administration. Not surprisingly, oil shale research and development on federal lands has slowed considerably. Now, Salazar has injected even more regulatory uncertainty onto scene by announcing oil shale regulations will be given a “fresh look” — at some undetermined future date. So much for encouraging research and study. Companies have made huge progress in oil shale, including dramatic reduc-
tions in water and energy usage. A few companies are only a couple of years away from small-scale commercial production. However, you cannot expect these companies to keep pumping more and more money into oil shale research when they don’t even know the rules under which they will be operating. Is it too much to ask of Salazar to issue oil shale regulations that include stringent environmental standards and a reasonable royalty rate? If the energy companies can meet the regulations, they can produce. If not, then they can’t do business in Utah. Salazar and his friends pay lip-service to supporting domestic energy production. But in practice, their actions (intentionally?) erect regulatory roadblocks. Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming likely have four to eight times more oil than Saudi Arabia. We should be aggressively pursuing research, because commercial production would revolutionize world energy dynamics. In addition, it would put Utahans to work, produce massive tax revenues, and help make America less dependent on foreign oil. Rhetoric about taking a “fresh look” at oil shale regulations at some undetermined future date only discourages the oil shale research Salazar claims to support.

Grant programs critical for tribe Dear Editor, The Ute Indian Tribe’s Grant Department requires immediate and extensive attention and structuring to update files and report on the many outstanding grants to
kudos to local support group
the tribe. The department is currently responsible for about $8 million in grants. These grants cover basic services including, but not limited to, education, social welfare, and health care. I believe the tribe must fill open positions, including a director, and complete a “catch-up/cleanup” phase. Other Native American tribes have sought to develop their grant departments beyond the established norm of education, housing, or healthcare funding that encompassed business enterprises for individual and non-tribal members. The Ute Tribe’s new or “super” grant department should also manage and direct the tribe’s introduction and development under a tribal energy resource development organization. In conclusion, personnel engaged to assist in the correction and “catch up” of pending accounting or treasury functions should be required to train and educate tribal members already employed in the tribal offices. The need for a treasury manager is an immediate and high priority.
Dear Editor, Last week an article was in the Vernal Express for Grieving Partners Support Group. I just wanted to say we all feel alone when we lose a loved one. I have a wonderful daughter, Carolyn, and family and some very special, special friends who have been here for me through these difficult times. McKayle and Jessie and their dad (until he passed away) have lived with their grammy Carolyn. They continue to do very well with their loss of their daddy and papa. This support group is a wonderful group. Each person is different in their sorrow. The compassion, the talks and the friendships made make a great difference in our lives. Sometimes it’s one thought someones has shared that helps us. We look forward do going to this class every Wednesday. Carolyn Henry is an excellent therapist and has helped us through some difficult times and made this class what it was meant to be.

KEEPING HOUSE By Rep. Kraig Powell Utah State Legislature
At the beginning of the legislative session six weeks ago, I wrote a column discussing arguments for and against the passage of state laws to enforce federal immigration policy. In this column, I will provide an update on the current status of various Utah bills dealing with illegal immigration. Probably the most-publicized immigration bill is Rep. Stephen Sandstrom’s Illegal Immigration Enforcement Act. This bill would require police officers in Utah who stop a person for a suspected felony or class A misdemeanor to check the person’s legal immigration status if the officer has reasonable suspicion that the person is an illegal alien. The bill would allow, but not require, these same checks for persons stopped for class B or C misdemeanors. The bill does not allow a police officer to check the immigration status of all passengers in a vehicle if the vehicle is pulled over for a suspected violation by the driver only. Sandstrom’s bill also requires any state agency that provides public benefits to verify that the recipient is not an illegal alien, and imposes criminal penalties for a recipient who misrepresents his or her legal immigration status on such an application. I voted for this bill because I believe that the presence of large numbers of undocumented immigrants in Utah is causing substantial financial and societal impact to legal citizens in our state. I believe that increased enforcement of immigration laws will discourage illegal aliens from coming to Utah and will encourage those who are here to leave. This bill passed the House on a vote of 58 to 15 and is now in the Senate. Another immigration bill is Rep. Chris Herrod’s Employment of Unauthorized Aliens Act. This bill prohibits an employer from knowingly or intentionally employing an illegal alien. The bill requires all private employers in Utah with 15 or more employees to use the EVerify system to confirm the legal immigration status of all new hires. The bill requires the business license of an employer be temporarily suspended for a first violation and permanently revoked for a subsequent violation. The bill also requires all public employers in the state, including cities and counties, to annually certify in writing that they are
using E-Verify to prohibit the employment of illegal aliens. I voted for this bill because it is essential for Utah to promote compliance with laws governing illegal immigration. By ensuring that all workers have proper documentation, we will foster transparency and order in immigration matters. The bill passed the House 49 to 20 and is now in the Senate. Another bill sponsored by Herrod allows hospitals, doctors and other health care providers to be reimbursed by the state of Utah for any free medical care that federal law requires them to give to illegal immigrants. The estimated cost of this bill to the state is $26 million per year. The bill also requires the Utah Department of Health to develop a strategy to sue the federal government for reimbursement of these amounts. I voted for this bill in order to highlight the injustice of the federal mandate that local health care providers furnish free medical care to illegal immigrants. The bill passed the House 57 to 14 and is now in the Senate. Another immigration bill is the Guest Worker Act sponsored by Rep. Bill Wright. This bill allows undocumented immigrants and their immediate family members who are in the U.S. on or before May 10, 2011, to work and live in Utah if they register with the state and provide proof of continuing employment. The bill requires each worker to obtain and keep a registration card and to show it upon request. The permit is valid for two years. The permit holder must keep updated contact information on file with the state. Permit holders must pay all income and employment taxes. The bill prohibits a permit holder from receiving any welfare or unemployment benefits. A permit is revoked if the worker has an unexcused absence from work for 10 consecutive days. Priority in issuing permits is given to applicants who have applied for U.S. citizenship. Permit holders are required to learn English and convicted

the girls. I think you have to have a rather exotic kind of mud for mud masks as well. I saw a purifying mud mask from the Dead Sea sells for $94.99 for a small bottle. They aren’t saying what size. But that brings things a little closer to home. If someone can sell Dead Sea mud, someone else should be able to sell Great Salt Lake mud. Maybe for $79.99 per jar. I am not willing to experiment with it myself, however. Now I guess there are different kinds of mud and some really good uses for it. I am not really a mud expert. I never had a mud mask, and I couldn’t understand the point of making mud pies. But I was wondering if we might find some way to export some of our mud to somewhere else. We just need to think of an angle for selling good old Vernal brown, tan or red mud. Sounds like something you may sell on the shopping channel. Not that it’s much of a concern right now, but I know a kid, who blindfolded, can find a mud puddle in the middle of the desert in the middle of a drought and he will be glad to step in it for you too.

Uintah Republicans to hold convention
Obituaries Tom Handy
Carol Latham
Our dad, brother and grandpa, Thomas Lincoln Handy IV, passed away due to a cerebral hemorrhage on Feb. 15, 2011, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Tom was born May 7, 1942, in Vernal, Utah, to Thomas L. (Ted) and Mable Merrell Handy. His early years were spent in Vernal and Alaska. He graduated from Uintah High School in 1960 and shortly thereafter enlisted in the U.S. Army. While in the Army he had multiple tours of duty stateside and was on assignment in Berlin at the time of the Berlin Crisis and the construction of the Berlin Wall. He was later part of a color guard escorting President John F. Kennedy’s during his visit to Berlin. In 1967-68 he served in Vietnam. A career military man, he served the remainder of his tours in the U.S. Navy, and retired as master chief petty officer in 1993 following years of assignments aboard naval vessels in many overseas locations and a tour of duty in the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. After his retirement, he worked for several years for the Union Pacific Railroad and traveled extensively abroad.
Our beloved sister and aunt, Carol Latham, passed away Feb. 12, 2011, in Salt Lake City. She was born Dec. 18, 1948, in Salt Lake City to William James and Jennie Mae Rasmussen Latham. Carol was a member of the LDS Church, where she served in many callings including Stake Primary President and on an Indian mission at the Randlett Branch. She graduated from Cyprus High School, Snow College, USU, and BYU. She taught Home Ec at West Junior High in Fort Duchesne and worked as principal at Todd Elementary and Discovery Elementary in the Uintah School District. She enjoyed playing the violin, handicrafts and sewing, eating chocolate and cooking. She is survived by her sisters and brother, Karen Uresk, JoAnn (Wendell) Hurst, Lois (Gary) Uresk, Brian (Kellie) Latham, and Janice (Mark) George; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother-in-law,

Ed White
Eldon “Ed” Arthur White, age 84, of Vernal, returned to our Heavenly Father on Feb. 24, 2011, at his home with his family gathered at his bedside. He was born Oct. 6, 1926, a son of Arthur Leonard and Lucinda Sessions White. He married Eva Naomi Luck on Dec. 24, 1948. They later divorced. He married Billie Hodgkinson on Friday, March 13, 1987, in Vernal, Utah. He was a WWII Army veteran. He was a marksman with the M1Rifle. He received the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal when he served with the 210th Ordinance Medium Automotive Maintenance Company at Adak in the Aleutian Island for 10 months. He was in charge of seven men in storing and dumping ammunition. Before he retired, he worked in the Vernal area driving truck for 40 years for numerous companies around Vernal. A highlight of his life was joining with friend Brett Hendricks when they built the first-ever stock car race track in the 1960s at Docs Beach in Maeser.

Developers, lenders, and engineers met with civic leaders last week to discuss the potential construction of apartments on the border between Ballard and Roosevelt cities. The proposed project would be located near the planned site for a new high school which will one day replace Union High School. The project, backers said, stems from a need for affordable rental properties in eastern Duchesne County. Shar Benson of Shar’s Realty said she’s been contacted recently by a company that has five men living in a motel. “They will be here for one year and they can’t find a place to live,” Benson said. Despite the ups and downs of the local economy, there has remained a shortage of affordable rental properties for people moving to the area. The opportunity to develop real estate is still strong, according to Dave Higginson, branch manager of Zions Bank in Roosevelt. “The Basin really has not suffered as the rest of Utah has,” Higginson said. “We’ve got some reduction down in our home values, maybe 5 to 10 percent, but you know our economy has stayed strong and I think it is a great time to move forward with some additional housing.” Rick Stapp with Stapp Investments would be developing the project financially. “What we want is to solicit the input from everyone to find out what would be a ‘win’ for your communities,” Stapp told Roosevelt Mayor Vaun Ryan and Ballard Mayor Tom Nordstrom. The target of the project would be apartments rather than low-income housing. Developer
McKay Christensen explained the process of determining the potential for the project. “We would typically do a market study, evaluate what the population is, what the work base is, what the influx of migrant workers is, and try to get a feel for what the rents are in the area,” Christensen said. There is a prospect of new medical personnel and other professionals moving to the area and low-income housing is not the primary need, according to

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Legislators are pushing to end the four-day schedule for Utah state agencies through a bill likely to be debated on the House floor during the final full week of the legislative session. Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, said House Bill 328, which he is sponsoring, will not eliminate the four-day workweek for the majority of state employees. But the bill, if passed, would require state agencies to be open at least five days a week, nine hours a day. Utah is the only state with a four-day workweek, in which most agencies are open 11 hours a day and closed Friday. When agencies close on Fridays it hurts businesses who work a five day week or through the weekends, Noel said. Instead of every employee

Duchesne County Area Chamber of Commerce Director Irene Hansen. “We have a good inventory of lower income housing, but not rental housing for standard rate apartments or townhomes,” Hansen said. Phase one of the proposed project would likely be built on the Uintah County side of the border in Ballard. Early construction would call for 100 to 150 units of one-, two- and threebedroom apartments starting
with about 1,000 square feet for the single bedroom units. Estimated rents would be about $800 a month for the single bedroom apartments to $1,000 a month for the three bedroom units. Ryan said the zoning for what would eventually be phase two has already been established by Roosevelt City for higher density housing in its master plan. Specific zoning could be worked out for that project when the time comes, he said.

working Monday through Thursday, Noel said agencies could stagger schedules. “This doesn’t take away the ability of the state, and the employees of the state, to have a flexible schedule,” he said. Utah’s four-day workweek was started in the summer of 2008 by former Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. in an effort to reduce energy costs. About 13,000 of the state’s 17,000 employees work four days a week. While state officials had hoped to reduce energy costs by $3 million, the program only realized about $502,000 in savings in its first year, according to a 2010 state audit. Overall, the state reduced its energy consumption by about 10 percent during the first year of the pilot program. Although Noel remains dubious about the energy savings, he said the primary motivation for his bill is better service. “We created this as a need when we hit the energy crisis,” Noel said. “But we need to serve the public.” Sen. Wayne Niederhauser, RSandy, said he questions whether the energy and cost savings are really worth the reduced access
to agencies. “We’ve lost something with the four-day workweek,” Niederhauser said. “I’ve heard from constituents who say it doesn’t work for them.” Michael Styler, director of the state Department of Natural Resources, said the schedule is generally working. More people are using the state’s online services for licenses and permits, while inspectors and researchers appreciate the flexibility afforded by the longer days. Since the four-day workweek began, overtime and sick days have been reduced, Styler said. Jeff Herring, with the state Department of Human Resource Management, said even if the ambitious savings goals are not being realized, the state is still saving money. Instead of ending the four-day workweek entirely, he prefers to address specific areas where Friday service is needed. “We want to increase services to citizens, but we want to make sure we aren’t putting the tax burden back on citizens,” Herring said. “It’s not as much as we wanted originally, but it is close to a million dollars in savings.”

Connector road proposed B1 - HEADER along 1500 North road by Mary Bernard Vernal Express
A proposed roadway along 1500 North has been rejected by all eight of the potentially affected landowners on the alignment. It’s open country now with little more than irrigated pastures which are bisected by Ashley Creek. However, if the road is built it will likely become a major connector of Vernal Avenue to the Maeser area. “I don’t see the road being built for a number of years,” said Troy Ostler, of CIVCO Engineering, whose firm recently completed a feasibility study for road construction. His words did not pacify attendees whose lands and lives would be affected by the road. “They wouldn’t go to all this effort, if road construction wasn’t imminent,” Nikki Batty said, whose family’s pastures line the north side of the proposed road. The study is part of the planning process which according to Ostler will allow the “county to define an alignment and preserve the corridor.” Board members of the Uintah
Transportation Special Service District listened to the concerns of residents about the impending loss of the rural character of their neighborhood. “You told us it could be 10 to 15 years [to be built],” said one unnamed resident. “There’s a reason why people move out to the country.” People fear the completion of the feasibility study signifies construction is close at hand. Ostler reminded listeners the decision to assess the roadway was accomplished through a yearlong public process. “About a year ago, members of the public identified the roadway from Vernal Ave to 1500 West as the third highest priority for the county’s master plan,” he said. Public meetings were held on two prior occasions concerning the road extension with residents of the area. It’s been a tough sell considering a mile of the roadway 500 West to 1500 West would transect raw land. “Not one of the eight property owners said they wanted this road to go in,” Ostler said, noting two homes at the west end would have to moved out of the right-of-way. At this writing, CIVCO identi-
fies three alignments, a northern and southern alignment as well as a straight east-to-west access as alternatives. There are other hurtles to be faced by planners, including having to span Steinaker Canal and bridge the Ashley Creek. “The straight alignment would have three bridges,” Ostler said. “The southern and northern alternatives could have two bridges each.” In comparing the alternatives, Wednesday, the straight alignment would cost the most around $17.9 million and raise the flood water levels by almost three feet. Not the preferred alternative; whereas, either of the other alternatives offer minimal impact to the floodplain ― roughly 22 acres ― and relatively similar costs between $7 and $8 million. “There is no cheap alternative to building a two lane road with two 12-foot lanes and 12 foot shoulders” says Ostler. The engineer says the benefits are important as the connector road would ease traffic flow through Maeser, especially on the congested 500 North artery. The feasibility report will be finalized and presented to the Uintah County Commission within the next six weeks.

Matheson visits the Basin By Geoff Liesik
Uintah Basin Standard
The lone Democrat in Utah’s congressional delegation voiced his support for the state’s extraction industry during a visit Wednesday to Duchesne and Uintah counties. During a meeting with the editorial boards of the Uintah Basin Standard and Vernal Express, Rep. Jim Matheson said he finds charges that he is not a supporter of responsible oil and natural gas development “offensive.” “It’s really an unfair criticism,” he said. “My record is very clear since I’ve been in office and I don’t appreciate the criticism. … I think some people want to paint all Democrats with a broad brush and I am not a typical Democrat.” Matheson said he still hasn’t formed an opinion of the Obama administration’s “wild lands” policy, which he called a “complete reversal” of what the BLM told Congress in early 2010 was necessary to manage public lands in Utah. “No one knows what the truth is because it’s not defined. That’s
part of the problem,” Matheson said, two days before the BLM announced that it had provided guidance documents on the policy to its field managers. “I don’t know why they’re changing (the policy) and I don’t think it’s going to be received well on Capitol Hill, I can tell you that,” the congressman said. “If it continues there’s a likely probability of a legislative response to change it.” Matheson’s comments came at the end of a whirlwind day that began at the recently completed Duchesne Valley Water Treatment Plant located on the bench overlooking Starvation Reservoir. Officials from the Central Utah Water Conservancy District gave Matheson a tour of the plant, which has the capacity to treat up to 8 million gallons of water per day using the latest technology. Duchesne County commissioners, Roosevelt City officials and members of local water districts joined the tour and used it as an opportunity to talk to Matheson about the proposed Highway 40 Pipeline — a project that has an estimated cost of $22

Local students take part in Meth No More project Submitted by Steffany Beddes
B1 USU Campus Visit
High school seniors from Duchesne and Altamont raise their hands for Aggie ice cream during a visit to the Utah State University Uintah Basin in Vernal campus Friday. The students were bused to the Bingham Center for lunch and to hear from six USU faculty members about what majors are offered there. It was the last of a series of high school senior trips to the campus.
Uintah High School school students have been teaching younger students to stay away from illegal drugs. The high school students in Discovering the Educational Consequences of Advanced Technical Education (DECA) and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) clubs teamed up with the Meth No More program. The goal of the project is to raise awareness about the dangers of methamphetamine and educate youth in Uintah County about the harmful effects meth
use will cause. During the project, high school students gave a presentation to fifth graders at Ashley and Davis elementary schools about methamphetamine. At the end of the presentation there was a contest. Fifth grade students were given blank storyboards and asked to create an anti-meth commercial. Shannia Stinger took first place, Kaylee Zelaya took second and Cecilia Villalba took third. The winning storyboard was turned into a commercial and featured on YouTube and Facebook. For the other part of the
project, an assembly was held at Uintah High to persuade students not to do illegal drugs such as meth and Ecstasy. Steffany Beddes, Amelia McCurdy, and Liezl Inabnit were in charge of putting the assembly together. “This project was a really great experience,” McCurdy said. “The students really seemed interested in our presentation, and hopefully it made a difference in their lives.” McCurdy, Beddes and Inabnit will take the project to state DECA and state FBLA competitions in March.
UBATC offers first aid training
Each week the American Red Cross hears a riveting story about a life being saved because someone was in the right place at the right time and knew how to administer CPR or first aid. One mother said her 19month-old son was playing on the steps of the community swimming pool. She looked away momentarily and he was gone. The sun’s glare on the water obscured her vision as she frantically ran around the pool searching. She spotted her baby floating face down in the water. The toddler was saved because there were two women at the pool who knew how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, better known as CPR. “If something similar happened to you or someone in your family, would you be prepared to handle the emergency?” asked Amy Hunter, a registered nurse who teaches first aid and CPR at Uintah Basin Applied Technology College. Hunter is pioneering a course geared toward teaching first responders — who in many cases are day care providers, babysitters, parents and grandparents — to administer CPR and other life-saving techniques to children and infants. The first evening class was offered this past Thursday at the UBATC campus in Roosevelt. Hunter is a strong believer that anyone who is responsible for caring for a child should become educated so they know these life-saving skills. She has taught first aid and CPR to adults at UBATC for six of her nine-year nursing career. “Almost every time I teach first aid and CPR to adults, someone asks if there’s a class
that their wife or babysitter could take to learn how to perform this on a baby or small child,” Hunter said. When it is correctly administered in an emergency, CPR can save a life by restoring breathing and circulation until advanced life support can be given by health care providers. Hunter will also be certifying class participants in automated external defibrillator techniques. Defibrillators are becoming more widely available to the general population, according to Hunter, and can be found in most public buildings now. They can be purchased at Walmart and most drug stores for about $1,200. Statistics show that if someone stops breathing due to a heart attack, electrocution, or for some other reason, the survival rate increases to 86 percent if AED techniques are used within 10 minutes of the event. If CPR alone is used, the survival rate is only about 5 percent, Hunter said.
The medical first aid/CPR/ AED classes for children and infants will be taught on the first and third Thursdays of each month, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., rotating between the Vernal (first Thursday) and Roosevelt (third Thursday) campuses. Those who complete the class are certified for two years. Classes must have a minimum of five people in order to be held, and will be limited to 12 participants. Hunter can make special arrangements to bring the course to a different location for requests made by families, churches, clubs or other organizations. Special group rates may be available. “I will travel to outlying areas and customize times and dates to accommodate other communities and organizations,” Hunter said. To register or for further questions, contact Amy Hunter at 435-724-2477 or UBATC Custom Fit representative Lezlee Whiting at 435-725-7109.

Lifelong Vernal resident Brud Gardiner trains Border Collies the Uintah way

loud whistle pierces the morning air. “That’s left,” said Brud Gardiner, a Vernal resident who specializes in using highly-trained dogs to handle cattle. He whistles a different tune. “That’s right.” Then another trill. “That’s get a hold.” Gardiner’s three border collie and border collie mixes, Kop, Jag and Poke, know exactly what to do with a herd of bovines. The dogs’ control of a herd is almost uncanny. Gardiner claims his canines can do the work of three to four men on horseback. His dogs come from champion bloodlines: Kop’s sire Weasel was the winner of the 2006 Denver Stock Show and the Wyoming Cattle Dog Challenge, and is a registered border collie.
“Ninety percent of border collies are bred to work sheep. I raise the other ten percent for cattle,” said Gardiner. “The beauty of border collies is that they don’t run the fat off the livestock. You need to handle the cattle as quietly and softly as possible, without stressing them. It makes your cattle heavier and worth more at market time.” The blue heeler was Gardiner’s breed of choice until the early ninety’s when he got Tip, a blue heeler and border collie mix. “He became a good dog in spite of me, not because of me,” said Gardiner. “I like blue heelers, but they make cattle wilder. They’re bred to drive cattle away from you. These collies are fetch dogs bred to bring cattle to you. They have so much natural instinct, that if you have enough cattle work to do you can ‘son-of-a-gun and good-boy’ them enough that it will eventually come together. If your dog doesn’t have the natural instinct and ability, then it doesn’t matter how good of a trainer you are, it

Expressions Continued from B1 will never be a good cattle dog.” Tip’s natural abilities inspired Gardiner to take both border collies and his cattle dog training more seriously, and he began a search for knowledge and better dogs. “I wanted to learn and apply myself, and do a good dog justice,”
he said. “In the early nineties I traveled to Nevada to purchase a dog and learn from a Scottish dog handler. A year ago I traveled to Louisiana to pick up a pup from Dalton’s Cow Dogs. They still use dogs for what they were bred for and were very gracious in boarding me and helping me with my dogs.” The breeds Gardiner trains are predominantly border collie, with some mixed with a
dash of pit bull. “When you say ‘pit bull,’ it just kind of turns people off, but [when bred with a border collie] it does just the opposite of what you would think. The pit bull just slows them down a bit for cattle, you get a little bit bigger-boned, a bit tougher dog.” Gardiner’s dogs are incredibly obedient, active, gentle and moreover, radiantly happy.

owner of a 300-head dairy farm drove from Madison, NY, to purchase two of Gardiner’s puppies. Gardiner’s father, who passed away in 2005, was also a life-long resident of the area. He was a game warden and rancher, and Gardiner’s mother was from the Broome family, some of the first ranchers and settlers of the Book Cliff country. “My dad liked good horses and livestock, and I always enjoyed helping him. My dad did a lot for me, but the greatest gift I received from him was his love of nature, animals and the great outdoors.” In addition to his work with livestock and dog training, Gardiner has worked in the oil and gas industry since 1974. “A lot of years there’s no money in cattle,” he said. “My dad used to say, ‘The only reason we have cattle is to give our horses and dogs something to do!’” Ranching is a way of living that keeps Gardiner close to nature and animals, and is a business of true value as it helps
to feed a hungry country with quality beef, he said. In 2005 he went into the yearling business, establishing 2 Buckaroos LLC, a livestock venture, with his friend Dave Jolley. The two ride horseback, driving cattle to mountain rangeland to fatten them up for market. “Dave and I both love the lifestyle and the livestock,” said Gardiner. “A lot of people run livestock with four-wheelers and other methods, but Dave and I believe that the proper, professional way to handle livestock is with good horses and dogs.” The traditional way of ranching results in better quality beef than industrial production methods, he said. “A lot can be said about good grass-fed beef, as opposed feedlot beef.” Turning a profit with traditional ranching has not gotten any easier in recent years, and like other occupations such as fishing and farming, there is a severe lack of young people willing or able to get into the business. Gardiner’s two children, Ryan and Britt, and his grandchildren are an important
part of the operation.“It’s getting harder and harder for the small cattleman to stay in business,” he said. It is a sad state, as there is much more to the ranching life than just profit, said Gardiner. “I can make more money doing other things than ranching, but it’s not the money, it’s the lifestyle,” he said. “When I’m on the mountain with my dogs, working my cattle on horseback, I’m on top of my game.” Ranching is a lifestyle worth protecting, increasingly under attack from overbearing government regulations and overzealous environmentalists, said Gardiner. To lose the opportunity for that way of life would be to lose one thing that makes the Basin such a unique and beautiful place to live. “I’ve traveled throughout the United States, and traveled abroad to work in the Middle East in the nineties, and was always excited to get back home to the Basin, and my Mountains,” said Gardiner. “For me, family, and living close to nature and animals are the meaning of life.”

Walk across America for diabetes By Mary Bernard Vernal Express
By her own account, Sequoia Warner was living a pretty normal life in Oregon. A licensed massage therapist and practitioner of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), she was a teacher of students in the practices of whole health. “Then, I had a powerful dream that led me to close my business and sell or give away much of my belongings,” Warner said. She did it as an effort to take the message of holistic diabetes education across America. When Warner was diagnosed as pre-diabetic it was all too familiar with her mother’s battle with diabetes. Her diagnosis was something of a wake-up call, “I began following a raw food diet to detoxify and get better nutrition,” she said. People largely consume the foods they find most familiar or the most comforting, which are not always the most nutritious. Rarely do we consider “the effects of processed food with chemical additives or eating too much of the wrong thing on our overall health,” the therapist continues. “I decided to plant the idea of the Farm to Schools program in 100 schools across the country to where kids could learn the benefits of getting good, fresh food,” said Warner. Farm to school is a healthy nutrition program established nationwide. “It teaches students how to eat healthy to avoid diabetes risk in life,” she said. Utah is in-process of developing a coordinator for the Farm to School program Warner said. The idea of Warner’s walk is to help reduce the odds that American children will develop diabetes from a lifestyle that leads to obesity. “Farm to school programs are quite common in Washington State,” a place she hopes to take her message. Within days of making her decision Warner sold her business, left with a ceremony, and headed to her daughter’s home on Whidbey Island, Wash. To prepare for her walk, Warner started walking four to eight miles a day in Aug. 2010. The walking regime was forced upon her as her car died. “I had to walk, because the universe took my car away,” she said, noting the lucky break of losing her car prepared her mentally and physically to start her journey. For her trans-America walk, Warner uses a walking cart made in Holland that carries her clothes, essential oils, water and Tappy Bear. Tappy Bear is “a simple way of tapping the body’s natural comfort points similar to acupuncture,” which Warner uses in her education program. “Nothing is like you think its gonna be,” she said of the road

life. She is spending the winter in Vernal with her sister. She is currently teaching life skills for children at the Split Mountain detention center, but hopes to branch into teaching entrepreneurial skills to the older kids. “I don’t know how long I’ll be here in Vernal,” Warner said, admitting that she’s antsy to start walking. Warner had to travel to Utah for the winter after she ran out of money in California. She plans
to travel back to the West Coast when she resumes her walk. To find out more about Warner’s walk, check out her website at http://www.walkraw. com. Warner also teaches EFT classes at the Uintah County Library this winter and persons interested in learning more should visit http://www.uintah. lib.ut.us or call 789-0091.

Seekers from around Utah attend job fair at UBATC By Ranae Bangerter Vernal Express
A job fair Thursday for those seeking jobs in the energy and transportation industries was well attended by many from across Utah. “Right now there’s quite a few truck driving jobs,” said Marilyn Wallis, a specialist with state Department of Workforce Services in Vernal. A similar job fair held recently in Roosevelt featured four employers and drew about 40 job seekers. The event was such a success that it led to Thursday’s job fair at Uintah Basin Applied Technology College, Wallis said. Within 15 minutes of the two-hour job fair opening last week, an estimated 300 people had showed up to talk with the 19 employers on hand. Tim Hall came from Provo in search of a trucking job. Many trucking companies at the event were looking for drivers they could put to work immediately, which meant they needed to have two years experience when applying. Other employers, like the Utah Department of Transportation, were present to let job seekers know where to go online to
find out about open positions. Whiterocks resident Laura Duncan knows all about the tough job market. She earned her commercial driver’s license last year from UBATC in Roosevelt, but hasn’t been able to find a job since. She said she’s faced two roadblocks — either she needs two years of driving experience, or at age 22, she’s too young. “It’s really, really frustrating,” Duncan said. “Especially if you know you have all of your endorsements and you have a clean record.” Duncan has even tried getting a job in North Dakota where the energy industry is booming, but said the company she applied with had hired too many drivers and she never got experience. “I keep looking through the paper for work,” she said, “and hopefully somebody will pick me up. They’ve got to see that I am gold!” Dennis Montag drove from St. George specifically for the job fair. He said he heard about the job fair in an e-mail from Utah State University forwarded by his nephew the day before the event. Montag was applying for jobs with all of the trucking companies present at the job fair. Rossa Simmons, represent-
Davis science classes get boost from grant Davis Elementary School has received a $2,500 grant from the 100% For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation. Davis Elementary teacher Kristin Meanea plans to use the money to provide her science students the opportunity to be more hands-on with their experiments. She also intends to purchase educational videos with the funds. “These science materials will help bring science to life for my students,” Meanea said. “And the videos help them better understand and visualize certain concepts.” The science equipment
and videos will benefit almost 100 fifth grade science students. The 100% For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation was founded by the Utah Credit Union Association in 2002 to provide funds to Utah classrooms. The money is contributed by credit unions, their members and others. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded more than $5 million to schools in each of Utah’s 41 school districts. This quarter, 100% For Kids Credit Union Education Foundation will award more than $25,000 to Utah schools.

ing Brady Trucking, said the company needs to hire four employees and will keep applications they received at the fair to use to hire more people as the company grows. Brady Trucking sets high standards for their truck drivers, Simmons said, and “about 30 to 35 percent” of the job-seekers she talked to at the fair would meet those requirements. “The turnout is really good compared to what I was expecting,” Simmons said. “I wasn’t expecting near that many people.” Marilyn Larsen with the Roosevelt DWS office also said she had no idea that as many people March 2, 2011 - Vernal Express Wednesday, would show up at Thursday’s event. The department is looking to hold another job fair, she said, one focused on a different job sector. DWS staffers were also at last week’s job fair to inform attendees of programs offered by the agency, which include resume and interviewing training courses twice at monthly at the local offices. Those interested need to register online at jobs. utah.gov or contact the Vernal Employment Center at 435-781St. George resident Dennis Montag and Whiterocks resident Laura Duncan fill out applications during 4100.

Rotary hosts ‘Casino Night’ fundraiser
More than 250 people turned out Saturday night decked in gamblers’ vests and fancy ladies’ hats for the third annual Casino Night fundraiser sponsored by the Vernal Rotary Club. Everyone had the chance to test Lady Luck by playing blackjack, Texas jold’em, roulette, and craps. Winners were given the opportunity to throw their tickets in the buckets to compete for raffle items donated by local businesses. The entertainment was more than expected when the Diamond Mountain Shooters staged a mock gunfight at one point and smoke from their pistols set off the fire alarms at Western Park. Luckily, a quick thinking Rotary member called 911 to cancel the fire trucks. The Rotarians were glad everyone had a good time, and expressed appreciation to table sponsors, advertisers, donors of raffle and auction items, as well as those who attended the event, for helping the club raise money for the club’s projects, both local and international. The Vernal Rotary club has
been in existence since 1959 and has provided continued service to the community, including flag poles at the hospital and museum, benches at the old Dinosaur Garden and the golf course, and the gazebo at the walking park. For the past several years, the club has donated dictionaries for every third grader in Uintah and Daggett counties and in Roosevelt, as well as providing scholarships for high school seniors. This year the club took on a new project and provided literacy scholarships to first grade teachers in Uintah County. One special moment Saturday evening highlighted the club’s history helping with the Polio Plus campaign. In 1985, Rotary International vowed to eradicate polio from the face of the earth. As of today, due largely to Rotary’s efforts, polio has been eradicated from all but three countries in the world: Pakistan, Afganistan and Nigeria. The crippling effects of polio and the treatments employed in the ‘50s and ‘60, when American children were infected, were brought home by the iron lung on display and by the personal
testimony of Gary Cox, who contracted the disease as a child and still suffers from post polio syndrome.

Since 1985, Rotary International has been the largest contributor to the World Health Organization’s campaign to eradicate polio and efforts have paid off with a 99 percent success story. There are only three countries left in the world that still have endemic polio; Pakistan, Afganistan and Nigeria. India was finished last year with over a billion people inoculated. Those who attended Casino Night The tables were full all night as area residents pulled out their wallets and donated in a fun way also had the opportunity to donate to the polio efforts of Rotary. An iron lung machine was on display to the local Rotary Club. The club funds a variety of scholarships and supports other area needs that night. (Ellen Rivers-Brown/Submitted Photo) annually.

The 2010-11 Utes finished their season with a 4-17 (2-12) record, missing the playoffs by mere points during a play-in against Maple Mountain. (Gregory Knight/Vernal Express)
Utes miss playoffs by 6 points By Gregory Knight
Express Sports Editor
The Uintah Utes boys basketball team finished their 2010-11 season last week on a down note, losing to both Payson and Maple Mountain in games with playoff implications. The Utes began their matchup against Payson looking fresh and alive — and able to score at will via 3-point master Brady Davis. A tying shot by Davis, followed by an NBAsize trey, kept Uintah competitive and brought the defense of the Lions scrambling. The Utes returned the defensive favor, however, courtesy of senior Kalen Williams. Williams, who finishes the season with 130 points, 127 rebounds, 17 assists and 7 steals, was all over the Lions, making huge defensive plays when it counted the most. Head coach Scott Mansfield wasn’t surprised at the level of play exhibited by Williams. “Kalen played hard like he always plays. He was able to make a couple early on, which was good for us,” Mansfield said. With additional points coming from seniors Tyler Johnson and Kalin Leyba, the Utes found themselves close at the end of the first period, trailing 17-14. “Leyba and Johnson did well, too,” Mansfield added. “They gave us exactly what we needed during the first period.” Johnson finished the year with 136 points, including 19 from 3-point range, 70 rebounds, 30 assists and 10 steals. Leyba finished his season with a team-high 231 points,

25 coming from behind the arc, 67 rebounds, 87 assists and 11 steals. The second period is where the action on the court — and the bench — began to heat up for Uintah. The heat came after a series a calls against the Utes coach Mansfield said were questionable at best — earning him a technical foul as well. “I told him, the ref, that it was the worst call I’ve ever seen. It was a rebound foul called on Cushing. It was a loose ball and Matt got a rebound foul called on him. I didn’t think it was justified at all and I ended up getting the ‘T.’” After a 17-17 tying score by Johnson and some of the best defensive play of Brady Davis’ season, Payson proceeded to tear it up on a 16-0 run. The runaway scoring of the Lions led to frustration for the Utes — and eventually a shoving match between Leyba and a member of the Lions team. “Leyba was guarding the kid at the top and knocked it loose,” Mansfield said. “Kalin jumped in to try to get a jump ball out of it and the kid stood. It was kind of a shove from the other kid, but Kalin had a headlock going on too. It went both ways but we got called for it.” At the end of the period, the Utes were down by double-digits, behind 45-24. “Our goal was just to chip away and get their lead cut in half during the third,” Mansfield said of his team’s plan at the half break. Coming back into the game, the Utes were unable to capitalize
on scoring attempts by Matthew Cushing, Derek Reasch, Leyba and Williams. Down by 30 points in the opening of the half, the Utes were outscored 22-12 in the period. The fourth period began with the Utes down 67-36 and showing signs of fatigue after the heavy physicality of the second and third periods. The loss of Leyba to an on-court injury, as well as foul trouble for the team, saw what could be the 2011-12 senior squad take the floor. Junior players Reasch, Cushing, Jason Garner, Dallin Stewart and sophomore Denver Buckalew fired up the best they could — though only 9 points came in the final 8 minutes for the Utes. “When it’s a game that was scored like that, with the other team so far ahead, it was a good chance to get some young kids in there,” Mansfield said. The loss to Payson set up a play-in situation where Maple Mountain had to lose to Salem Hills for the Utes to have a shot at the post-season. That loss came in a 71-45 drubbing which sent the Skyhawks to the playoffs — and Uintah to face the Golden Eagles. With the season on the line, the Utes threw their best effort toward the win, leading 23-21 at the half. A tied-up 14-14 third quarter scoring drive left the Utes still decidedly in charge until the fourth period — when the Golden Eagles outscored Uintah 17-9 for the eventual 52-46 win. The Utes finish with a 4-17 (2-12) record on the season.

The Irish have a saying in Gaelic which goes, “Cha d’dhùin doras nach d’fhosgail doras.” Translated, it means no door is ever closed until another one opens. True words, if I say so myself. With the coming of spring one door closes — that of the ice bin of old man winter — and comes the opening of the door to spring. Spring is the end of the season of my favorite Irish rugby team as well, the Malahide RFC. Malahide did exceedingly well this year and last, and will hopefully keep their luck up in the year to come. The newly arrived season also brings the glorious religious holiday of St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. To anyone who has ever celebrated St. Paddy’s while across the pond, they will recall that it is not the drunken debauchery and reckless day/night of partying as you might see in America. There is no green river of beer and, for the most part, everyone goes to church and then home for supper. And for those that do not know, St. Patrick was a Roman missionary preaching the Christian faith in the southern portion of Ireland during the 4th century, A.D. Saint Patrick is generally recognized as the protector of the faith against Pagan and heretical beliefs in the island nation of that time. Football and rugby is also different over there, on that side of the pond. Where an American team lines up facing one another on the scrimmage line, my Irish brethren form the scrum, wherein the 30 players on field try to eject the ball from the mass of humanity with their feet and back onto the field of play. It is a rough and tumble moment — and anyone who has seen it will know what I mean. Another aspect of rugby which differs from American football is the idea that you don’t block. What you do, however, is hit the ballcarrier as hard and as fast as you possibly can. Without pads or helmets. The true-to-life, rough nature of the game is one of the things I love about it the most. There are no time outs, no crying about a little blood here and there, and the game lasts 80 minutes. It’s a matchup where you definitely get your money’s worth for the ticket price. So, as we exit the slow season of indoor sports and emerge back out into the environs of grass and tennis courts, we can always be thankful for the closing door of winter. Soon, it will be balmy and a warm breeze will blow again through Ute baseball stadium, our soccer pitch, across the tennis courts and at Dinaland. We’ll shed our warm jackets in deference to t-shirts emblazoned (hopefully) with the “U” of Uintah. Going back to the St. Paddy’s aspect of my column this week, my good friend Sam Taylor, who you see regularly as a sports and news writer here, jokingly told me I was stereotyping the Irish with my allusion to mashed potatoes. To Sam I say, “Slainte.” It is the Gaelic way of saying “cheers,” or “blessings to you.” Oh, and yeah... Sam... my family came from Monaghan, pallie. I can stereotype myself as often and as much as I like. In fact, a stereotype would easily relate back to my rant on rugby. It would be like saying since our players in America wear helmets and pads we are less tough and more inclined to be crybabies than our friends in Europe. I would say “hogwash” to that. Uintah is tough and strong — and about to show it during spring 2011. If you have a sports story, action picture or great sports story idea, email me at gknight@vernal.com

Simper brothers, Phillips win with Regulators Travel team By Gregory Knight
Express Sports Editor
Three Uintah Ute hockey players helped take home a regional championship last week as members of the Team Northwest Regulators, a AA travel squad from Bountiful. As part of the Regulators, Utes
Denim Simper, Hagen Simper and Brody Phillips helped spur the team on to victory after taking on and winning games against teams from Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The team finished their regular season with a 8-6-1 record and saw Denim Simper make 2 goals during the 12 games he played.
Hagen Simper and Phillips both finished the season with 2 assists. The trio also helped take the Regulators to a victory at their state championship game earlier this month, earning the team the right to attend nationals in Ohio as representatives from Utah.

Two Uintah Ute wrestlers will get a chance to ply their skills at the National High School Wrestling Championships later this month. Freshmen Beau Blackham and Jed Rich, along with head wrestling coach Gregg Stensgard will travel to Virginia Beach, Virginia to shoot for a top ranking March 29-April 3. Blackham, who placed 2nd in the Utah State wrestling championships, will wrestle in the 125-pound weight class, while Rich will wrestle at his seasonlong heavyweight position. Coach Stensgard says he is excited about the trip and what it will hold for the two wrestlers. “I think these freshman have a real good shot at being outstanding at the nationals,” Stensgard said. “They want to go and they want to be the best in the country. I’m excited to see where they stack up at both the 125-pounder and heavyweight levels.” Both Blackham and Rich have expressed interest, according to Stensgard, in attending NCAA Division 1-A schools as wrestlers.

March 2, 2011

Uintah Utes spring 2011 sports schedules
MATT WARNER: The last report was of good fishing and good ice. Nighttime temperatures have been cold. The reservoir is likely filling with warmer weather, so check the ice carefully before going out. Access the reservoir is by ski or snow machine.
Wednesday, Fishing at Starvation Reservoir is good for rainbows during midmorning, slower around noon, and then picks up again in the mid- to late-afternoon. (Submitted Photo) BIG SANDWASH RESERVOIR: Ice fishing reports indicate good conditions and fair to good fishing for rainbows. Please check the ice carefully before venturing out, especially the edges as the reservoir may be filling. You can access the reservoir from the boat ramp and from a new publicaccess point on the northeast corner. BROUGH RESERVOIR: Anglers report good ice. Fishing should be fair to good. Remember: You cannot use baits at Brough Reservoir and you can only keep one trout over 22 inches—all others must be released. Please check ice carefully before venturing out. The reservoir is being filled, so the edges are not as thick as the ice in the center. BROWNE LAKE: You can access the lake by ski or snowmobile. The last report was for good ice and fair fishing. Please check the ice carefully before going out and watch out for storms—the weather can change quickly in the Uinta Mountains. BULLOCK RESERVOIR: Anglers have report slow fishing. The ice is over two feet thick. CALDER RESERVOIR: The reservoir is ice-covered. Access is by snowmobile. Fishing should be fair to good fishing. Bait is not allowed at Calder and you can only keep one trout over 22 inches—all others must be released. Please check the ice carefully before going out. COTTONWOOD RESERVOIR: Anglers report slow fishing. The reservoir has good ice, but it may be thin along the edges. Please check the ice carefully before going out. CROUSE RESERVOIR: The water is very low and is covered in a layer of ice. Snow drifts and deep snow limit access to skis and snowmobiles. CURRANT CREEK RESERVOIR: Anglers report fair to good fishing. Access is by skis and snow machines. The road from the south will not be plowed this year. (The road was covered in new black-top and plowing would likely damage the new surface.) Watch the weather: The mountains can receive sudden storms and high winds. EAST PARK RESERVOIR: There are no new reports on
fishing or ice conditions. The reservoir, however, should have good ice and fair to good fishing for rainbows and other trout. FLAMING GORGE: You’ll find good fishing for coldwater species. Water temperatures in the canyon are in the low 30’s. Launch ramps are accessible in Utah. Ice is still forming over the cold nights. The ice is currently fishable by individuals and small groups down to Holmes Crossing. However, ice thickness varies greatly. Please check conditions carefully before venturing out. The ice near the lower end and in the middle is likely way too thin to take a vehicle out on. Lake trout: Lake trout fishing is spotty in the canyon reach of the reservoir and fair to good through the ice along the main channel in depths from 50 to 100 feet. Try jigging with soft jigging strokes just above the bottom using jigging spoons (3/8-ounce white/green), tube jigs (white or earth tones) or minnow jigs (3/8-ounce jighead w/ 4\� Gulp minnow). You may also want to try tipping lures with sucker meat to entice more hits. Lake trout are fickle. They may hit one day and not hit another or at one spot and not another, so don’t give up! Keep moving spots until you find active fish. A good line, like a fluorocarbon or braid, will help you feel the strike and get a good hook-set when you’re jigging. Please help the Flaming Gorge fishery by harvesting your limit of smaller lake trout. The limit is eight fish with one over 28 inches. Burbot: The Burbot Bash was a success. 485 anglers in 153 teams removed 4,012 burbot or roughly 8,000 pounds of fish. Anglers report good to excellent fishing for burbot through the ice down to roughly the Pipeline. (Note: The ice near the Pipeline is only 3 to five inches deep.) Try fishing for a few hours — from late in the afternoon until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. — along the rocky points and cliffs near the main channel. During a recent fishing trip, several burbot hit during the day in the 50 to 100 foot range. Burbot, however, become more active during the twilight hours. They move into the shallows around sunset, so try fishing the bottom or just slightly above it in 10 to 50 feet of water. You can use just about anything that glows (e.g., spoons, tube jigs, curly-tailed jigs, minnow jigs), just tip it with
C1 - HEADER
some type of bait, place your bait close to the bottom and recharge the glow frequently. Anglers will often catch a fish immediately after dropping a recharged glow lure. Strikes can be light and easy to miss. Changing holes may often trigger more strikes as well. Help the Flaming Gorge fishery by harvesting as many burbot as you can. There is no limit on burbot, and you can use up to 6 poles or tip-ups through the ice. (Please check the Utah Fishing Guidebook for details.)
DATE PELICAN LAKE: Anglers report good to excellent fishing 3/10 for bluegill and fair to good for 3/11 bass up to around 11 inches. The 3/12 weather has been well below freezing at night since the last 3/16 cold spell. There is now roughly 3/21 24 inches of good ice in the center. 3/25 However, the reservoir is being filled and that has created 5 3/31 to 20 feet of thinner ice along 4/5 the edges. Please check the ice 4/7 carefully before venturing out.

Rainbow trout: Anglers report good to excellent fishing from the shore, a boat and through the ice in Wyoming. A boat is essential to access most of the Utah portion of the reservoir. There is, however, some shore fishing near the visitors center by the dam and by the boat ramps. You can find rainbows anywhere, including close to the shoreline. Look for schools near cliffs, points and submerged ridges. Try using bright and shiny colored spoons and lures, jigs in pale or crayfish colors, bait or a combination (like a jig tipped with bait). Anglers report finding large schools of rainbows in coves or along rock walls. If you can cast into a school, the fishing is spectacular. Smallmouth bass: Bass fishing is slow. Few, if any, anglers are fishing for bass. Bass fishing should remain slow until next summer.
RED FLEET RESERVOIR: We’ve been getting a few reports of good ice and fair to good fishing for rainbows. There are no reports of walleye being taken, so if you’ve figured out how and where to catch them, please let us know. SHEEP CREEK LAKE: There are no new fishing reports. The last report was that good ice was completely covering the reservoir. Please check ice carefully before venturing out. SPIRIT LAKE: There are no new reports. The current ice condition is unknown, but it should be relatively thick. Please check the ice carefully before venturing out. Fishing should be fair to good for rainbow and tiger trout.
SUBHEADS
STARVATION RESERVOIR: Ice reports indicate good ice, though the reservoir is being filled. Anglers report fair but spotty fishing for larger rainbows. Some nice perch are being taken in Rabbit Gulch and near the bridge. Please check the edges carefully as the reservoir is filling.

OPINION
GREEN RIVER BELOW FLAMING GORGE DAM: Anglers report good fishing. You should use winter fly presentations, mostly scuds and eggs. Try a larger streamer with a scud or shrimp trailer. Often, fish are attracted to the larger presentation and then hit the smaller scud. On windy days, you will likely have more success using lures, because they’re easier to cast. Try Rapalas (floating, countdown and husky jerk), spinners, spoons, black, brown or olive marabou jigs, and plastic jigs. You may also want to try deep-diving lures in pools and shallow runners in riffles.

MOOSE POND: Anglers report that a solid layer of ice is covering the pond. However a spring, which seems to be developing in March 2, of 2011 - Vernal Express the middle the pond, melted a hole of open water for a few days during the relative warm Uintah High soccer player Travis Peltier attempts to score a goal spell prior to the cold front.

The yurt would catch the last evening light as the sun sets over the rugged canyon walls to the West.” The ski trip took about three hours round-trip, as they did not spend much time sight-seeing, said Tom Elder, another sitescouting skier. “It is very hushed and silent up Whiterocks Canyon. It is much more peaceful than skiing up to the Grizzly Ridge or Limber Flag yurts,” he said.
The site would not just serve skiers, Hamblin said. It would be available year-round for Adventurers visiting the Uinmany recreational activities. tah Basin wilderness can make “For example, during the sumtheir trip a bit more comfortable mer, people could rent it and by renting out one of the Forest enjoy a fishing vacation, since Service’s two yurts, located on Whiterocks River is the closest Grizzly Ridge and Limber Flag perennial trout stream to Vernal Mountain.

You can also ski in many directions, unimpeded.” As pleasant as that vision may be, there has not been a final approval for the yurt project yet. Having been discussed for years by local skiers, Hamblin typed a concept proposal and emailed it to the Resource Advisory Committee, a group that is deciding how to use funds for projects on Forest Service lands.

She has an unbelievable work ethic and she is very coachable. Those things make her a contender,” Stensgard said of his former student. “I spoke with Terry Steiner, her head coach, last week. He thinks she has a lot to give and a shot on either team in years to come. She is gaining ground on all her competition.” Workman’s last major tournament was the Dave Schultz Memorial Invitational in Colorado Springs where she went 2-2, eventually losing to the top American and European seeds. Among all women wrestlers in the U.S. Seniors program, Workman is ranked in the top-10 in the 48 kilogram weight class. Candace is the daughter of Jason and Dr. Monique Workman of Vernal.
