The staff at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum is hoping the public can help police find the person responsible for damaging one of the park’s dinosaur models.

NEW MAP

Continued from A1

Highway 40 between Roosevelt and Duchesne, would be served by a representative whose district also includes all of Uintah County. A base map for state House and Senate districts, state school board, and federal House and Senate districts is expected to be approved by the bipartisan Utah Redistricting Committee by Wednesday. These maps will be used to pass the state law that will establish voting districts for the next decade during next week’s special session of the Legislature. “On the floor there can still be amendments and changes, but after taking all of the public input in the summer this (House base map) is the consensus of where we’re at,” said Van Tassell, who conceded that the approved map affects Duchesne County “pretty severely.” There are rarely any clear winners when it comes to redistricting, Van Tassell said. The process is dictated in part by the results of the 2010 Census, which provides lawmakers with information about areas of population growth in the state. Prior federal court rulings also impose limits on how many people each district must have to ensure equal representation. By law, Utah’s current population of nearly 2.8 million people must be divided in such a way that each of the state’s 29 Senate districts has about 93,206 people and each of its 75 House districts has about 36,852 people with a variation of no more than 3.5 percent in any district. Van Tassell said lawmakers have done their best to try to keep communities together, but the legal requirements they’re faced with make it impossible in some instances. “The biggest thing that causes court cases in redistricting is the amount of people that you’re off in districts,” he said. “Population variances are the biggest thing we have to work with.” Former state Rep. Gordon Snow, who served the residents of Duchesne and Wasatch counties from 1999 to 2008, was in office the last time Utah went

through the redistricting process. He acknowledged that the task before Van Tassell and his colleagues isn’t an easy one, but said he is disappointed by what’s expected to happen to his former legislative district. “I see it mostly as a minus because it never gives us an opportunity to have enough votes to elect someone from Duchesne County,” Snow said. He called the idea of lumping Duchesne, Myton and Roosevelt with Moab “foolish,” and said Daggett County should remain paired with Uintah County if lawmakers are “really trying to do what’s best for the people.” Snow was part of one of the most well attended hearings the Redistricting Committee held when it traveled the state seeking public comment earlier this year. Those who spoke during the July 26 meeting in Vernal made a concerted effort to educate committee members about the unique issues that face residents of the Uintah Basin, Snow said. “Most of what was said and presented was completely ignored,” he said. Rep. Kraig Powell, Snow’s successor, stands to see his current House district carved into four pieces if the approved base map remains unchanged. The Republican from Heber City represents Duchesne and

Wasatch counties and a small portion of Uintah County. “I think it’s very important that the Uintah Basin have several strong voices at the Legislature,” Powell said, “but it’s difficult to make the population requirements mesh with the political and geographical boundaries. … It’s not easy to make the numbers match the formula.” Powell believes there are “natural connections” between the economies in Carbon and Duchesne counties that makes those areas a logical pairing for one person to represent. He also acknowledged that “it’s very hard for me to see what the committee has done with this area of the state.” “But as I’ve thought about their considerations, you can see that the Uintah Basin itself does not have enough population to equal two House districts,” said Powell, who is uncertain about his own future as a lawmaker. “I have not decided whether I will be seeking reelection, no matter what the boundaries are in any seat in 2012,” he said Friday. “The Legislature is a very demanding job, especially in Utah, where it is always a second job. With family obligations and work obligations, I’m always struggling as to how to fulfill my legislative duties best.”

VANDAL

Repairing the damage could cost at least $1,000, he said. “In a year where our budget’s tight, that’s money we really don’t have extra to be spending on these models,” Sroka added. Anyone with information about the incident should contact the Vernal Police Department at 435-789-5835 or the state park at 435-789-3799. Contributing: Mary Bernard, Vernal Express

the museum,” Sroka said. Park employees were able to heat up the metal rod inside the arm and return it to its proper alignment; however, they are still trying to determine how to patch the fiberglass. Only one other allosaurus model in the world is identical to the one in Vernal and the person who created the original mold has died, Sroka said.

A Naples man convicted in July for the second time of child sex abuse charges is expected to spend at least 30 years in prison. Troy Darrin Bragg was sentenced last Tuesday in 8th District Court to three terms of 15 years to life in prison. Judge Ed Peterson ordered two of the terms to run consecutive to each other and the third to be served concurrently. Under Utah’s minimum mandatory sentencing laws, Bragg will serve 30 years in prison before he is eligible for parole. On July 8, a Uintah County jury found Bragg guilty of three counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. The charges are all first-degree felonies. It was Bragg’s second conviction for sexually abusing a child, state court records show. In February 1996, Bragg

Energy Key to Fuel Job Creation in Western U.S. By Sen. Orrin Hatch When President Barack Obama took office, he and his Democratic allies in Congress promised their policies would create millions of jobs across the country. Instead, his polices have cost 2.3 million jobs and increased unemployment from 7.8 to 9.1 percent. Utahns and other Americans want Washington’s broken promises replaced with bold action. And that is exactly what I and other members of the Senate and House Western Caucuses have done in the “Jobs Frontier” report we introduced recently to acquaint Washington with the next frontier in job creation. It outlines more than 40 legislative solutions to cut bureaucratic red tape, develop our own energy resources and to overcome barriers to private-sector job creation. While this plan has eight steps, I’d like to focus on one that is particularly important to Utah and other energy-rich states — Exploring for American Oil and Natural Gas. Simply put, Utah and neighboring states are ideally suited to lead in domestic energy production and job creation. The oil and natural gas industry supports more than 9 million jobs across the country, including many in our state. Furthermore, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado have an estimated 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil, more than triple Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves. And boosting oil and gas production in the Outer-Continental Shelf could produce nearly 114,000 to more than 160,000 jobs, according to the American Petroleum Institute. Unfortunately, the Obama administration has shutdown offshore oil exploration, yanked existing onshore oil and gas leases, including 77 here in Utah, and handed down duplicative and onerous environmental and permitting regulations that have cost jobs, brought energy production to a standstill in many places and sent U.S. energy companies scurrying elsewhere for more favorable regulatory climes. The Western Caucus’ report outlines legislative solutions to change this – to help America become energy self-sufficient and to put Utahns and other Americans back to work. One of them is the Domestic Jobs, Domestic Energy and Deficit Reduction Act that I introduced in the Senate with Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana. It would overturn the White House’s restrictions on oil and gas production in the U.S., reverse bans on offshore federal oil leases off our coasts and open up the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve for responsible oil and gas exploration. Another bill I co-sponsored, the American Energy and Western Jobs Act, would streamline the cumbersome oil- and gas-leasing process, require the Obama administration to set goals for oil and gas production in Utah and other Western states and encourage the development of oil shale. The Offshore Production and Safety Act I co-sponsored would end the White House’s de facto moratorium on offshore drilling, thus reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil and working to cut gas prices at the pump. Yet another bill I am supporting is aimed at eliminating the uncertainty surrounding the EPA’s approval process for air permits, which would create more than 50,000 jobs and produce more than one million barrels of oil per day in the Alaskan Outer-Continental Shelf. These legislative solutions stand in stark contrast to the President’s current policies, which have cut energy leases by 87 percent in Utah and shifted away more than $4 billion in existing business and future investments from Rocky Mountain states. Our plan certainly makes more sense than increasing our dependence on foreign oil and shipping American jobs overseas by subsidizing Brazilian oil production with $2 billion in taxpayer money, as this President is doing. More domestic energy production translates into more jobs and lower energy prices. It also means more U.S. dollars staying in our own economy rather than be shipped overseas to countries that are wise enough to produce their own energy resources. It further makes for a more independent and secure America. As I mentioned earlier, energy exploration is only one of eight steps outlined in the “Jobs Frontier” report. To see more of our common-sense plan to create and save more jobs in Utah, other Western states and across the country, go to: www.tinyurl.com/westernjobs. Utahns want their elected representatives to stand strong for creating jobs and developing our own energy, and I am proud to help lead the fight to open up that next frontier here in Utah and across the nation. Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch is the senior senator from Utah.

Oil shale roadblocks Dear Editor, Since the field hearing in Grand Junction back in August to discuss the “roadblocks to development of oil shale” hosted by U.S. Reps. Scott Tipton and Doug Lamborn, there has been much attention given to both the perceived good and bad possibilities of oil shale development. Hopefully, these talks will be effective in leading to the implementation of a real federal energy plan in the United States that is consistent and done in a way to incentivize commercial production of oil shale. The U.S. has the largest and richest reserves of recoverable oil shale in the world and they are found in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. It’s estimated that there is more than three to five times the amount of oil located in Saudi Arabia. Unemployment in Colorado is 9.2 percent. The unemployment rate in Utah is 7.5 percent. Nationally the unemployment rate is 9.1 percent. The development of oil shale, in addition to other domestic energy fuel sources, could lead to energy

independence and a much needed economic boost for the United States, but the current approach displayed by the federal government of regulatory uncertainty, and the fact that between administrations the process has become very political in nature, discourages the development of oil shale production in the United States. The U.S. should be the world leader in oil shale technology, as well as other domestic fuel resources, but why should the energy industry invest millions and millions of dollars into research, if they have no clear path of a return on their investment? Companies are continuing to develop new technologies that someday will lead to a commercially viable method of development, but in order for these companies to continue to invest in environmentally responsible oil shale technologies, consistent regulations and stable oversight from the federal government are necessary.

I hope the Express will keep residents informed of the County’s plans for welcoming Mr. Salazar so that the public might show our appreciation for his having prioritized completion of the Quarry Visitor Center, thereby boosting the County’s tourism industry. We owe him a debt of gratitude that I hope we will all express. Perhaps the commissioners will post their plans to welcome and thank Mr. Salazar on the County’s website, too.

The Vernal City Council hopes two measures to be brought before the Community Impact Board in October will be approved for loans or grants for a culinary water system pipe project, and improvements to the Women’s Crisis Center. During the Sept. 21 meeting City manager Ken Bassett said the city would like present both funding projects to the CIB board at the same time, unless that is OK with the board. “If it makes a difference with them we will ask that the women’s crisis building to be addressed at another meeting,” Bassett said. “If they don’t care we will tackle them together. They address two different needs in our community.” The city hasn’t requested funding from the CIB since the funding of the new city building, he said. Bassett said the city will remind the CIB board members that the majority of the funding comes from Uintah County hope they will be considerate to our needs here. During the public hearing to inform citizens of

a water pipeline improvement project Bassett said the city is hoping to secure up to $4.5 million in funding for the pipeline. The pipeline project would replace upwards of five miles of culinary water line running from Ashley Springs to the water treatment plant. Bassett said the line began leaking in the early 1990s. After having the line inspected it was determined that a liner could be inserted inside the pipe to extend the life of the pipe. “We are finding there are now additional leaks in the line,” Bassett said. “It is a main source for water and the where the majority of our water rights come from.” Over the past two years the line has been studied and it was determined that the line needed to be replaced, he said. The new pipeline will be a 24 inch PVC with the option between two thicknesses of pipe — the more expensive one costing an extra $1 million. “We would like to bid both ways and see where our options are,” said Vernal City water and sewer manager Mike Davis. “We

have had 17 leaks in the last two and a half years. It is time to do this before it catches us in a difficult situation.” Bassett explained that the council will be looking at both a grant and a loan. He said the CIB board determines how much to grant and to loan based on water rates. “We raised them (the water rates) recently to bring them up to a state average and this should show them that we are worthy for more grant than loan,” said Bassett. Included with the waterline improvements would be an update in the city’s master plan that was good through 2005. “We have had some minor updates, but we haven’t looked comprehensively at the whole plan and we need to do that,” Bassett said. He told the council that the cost for the improvements would be $4.5 million with the high option. Bassett said that they would be asking for 3/4 of the funding in a grant and 1/4 in a loan from the CIB. The second project that will be presented to the CIB board for funding will be for a new Women’s Crisis

Center in Vernal. The shelter houses women and children who need a place to stay if they are victims of domestic violence. “This home is very small — only two bedrooms,” Bassett said. “It has been used for several years, but we want to purchase another facility, something larger that will facilitate more individuals.” The city will ask CIB for $300,000 to purchase another home. The city also has $42,000 in Community Block Grant funds that can be used to remodel the building and upgrade security measures that will be needed for a crisis center. Councilwoman JoAnn Cowan stated that after the home is purchased the state of Utah will pay for the staff and the monthly maintenance and operational costs. In other business the council approved to use funds left over from the new building construction funds to purchase an up-todate computer data backup program for $209,000, as well as $1,200 set aside to fund the mayor’s annual Halloween Walk.

Timing allows Salazar to dedicate dino quarry well.

The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Last minute scheduling made it possible for Salazar to attend the dedication, according to Pat O’Driscoll, a public affairs specialist with the National Park Service. “It just worked out that the secretary could be at Dinosaur for the visitor center opening, but not the opening of the fossil wall exhibit hall scheduled for Oct. 4,” O’Driscoll said.

Kiever recognized for hard work By Liberty Montague

Vernal Express

As its lead historian, Ellen Kiever has worked for nearly 12 years in the Uintah County Regional History Center. Her years of hard work paid off earlier this month when she was presented with an Outstanding Contribution Award during the 59th annual Utah State History Conference in Salt Lake City. With recommendation letters describing her solid work ethic and personal character, Kiever was honored for her “outstanding contribution to preserving the history of the Uintah Basin.” Uintah County Library Director Samuel Passey wrote in his recommendation letter that Keiver is a “doer.” “She sees needs and rolls up her sleeves and gets work done,” Passey wrote. “Whatever projects Ellen starts, others gather around and help get the job done.” Kiever’s coworkers at the Regional History Center also wrote a recommendation letter talking about her hard work and her volunteer service. “Not only does she earnestly strive to help our patrons with history in our community, she is especially fond of teaching

a lifelong ambition of his. After meeting at a park at 9 a.m., Gurr’s family and friends divided a list of items his platoon requested and purchased 10 shopping carts full of socks, razors, wet wipes, shaving cream, deodorant movies, magazines, drinks, snacks and

candy at Wal-Mart. At Independence Park the group assembled 59 large boxes to send to the Marines. Gurr’s family will be making a contribution to the Fisher House in the near future, and in the spring a scholarship in his name.

VERNAL ELKS HOSTS SPECIAL GUESTS The Vernal Elks recently hosted a group of special guests. District Deputy Susan Somers, auditor Bob Jarvis, and esquire Alan Manson’s visit was made to ensure the Vernal Elks are following national and state procedures, to inspect the Lodges’ facilities, and to provide assistance with any problems that may exist. Pictured from left: Jarvis, Vernal Elks Exalted Ruler Arlen Humphries, Somers, and Manson.

The regional advisory council for the state Division of Wildlife Resources’ Northeastern Region has added two new members to fill the vacancies that opened earlier this summer. Andrea Merrell will represent non-consumptive interests and Carrie Mair will serve in the public-at-large (west side) position. Five regional advisory councils were created and given the assignment to be the primary connection between the public, the Utah Wildlife Board and DWR for wildlife management related issues. According to state law, the RAC must include individuals who represent the following groups: agriculture, federal land agencies, locally elected public officials, nonconsumptive wildlife, publicat-large, sportsmen, and a member representing Native American interests when appropriate. The councils hear DWR input, including recommendations, biological data, and information regarding the effects to/of wildlife; gather information from staff, the public and government agencies; and make recommendations to the Utah Wildlife Board in an advisory capacity. Representing the Northeastern Region are RAC members: Mitch Hacking and Floyd Briggs (agriculture), Brandon McDonald (BLM), Rod Morrison and Kirk Woodward (sportsmen), Carrie Mair and

Wayne McAllister (at-large), Andrea Merrell and Beth Hamann (non-consumptive), Ron Winterton (elected official), and Bob Christensen (Forest Service). A position for a member of the Ute Indian Tribe is currently open. Also representing the Northeastern Region is Del Brady, who serves on the Utah Wildlife Board. The board takes the input from the RACs and makes the final decisions, which effect the future direction of the

DWR. “RAC members are (public) representatives for wildliferelated recreation and issues,” said Kevin Christopherson, DWR supervisor for the Northeastern Region. “They are the main link between the public and the division and we encourage you to get in touch with them with your issues, comments and questions on management, hunting, fishing and other wildlife-related opportunities.”

Retta Kissel Marietta Amanda Kissel 1910 ~ 2011 Our beautiful mother and grandmother Retta Kissel, age 101, passed away on Sept. 20, 2011 in Vernal, Utah. She was the youngest of nine born on July 2, 1910 in Atwood, Kan. to Ida Stears and Robert Palmer. She married Beryl Ellot Kissel on July 2, 1930 in McCook, Neb. Retta grew up on a Kansas farm and she rode her own horse to school. Her first horse was Polly — she said that if she ever started to cry Polly would freeze in her tracks. The horse could not be moved until Retta stopped crying or got off. Snowball was her favorite horse. No animal was more loved than her poodle, Amanda whom she had for over 12 years. When she married at 20 years old she had seven horses of her own. Growing up she always said she would never go on a blind date or go out with a man from McCook, Neb. Her girlfriend talked her into a blind date where she met Beryl Kissel. They were married on her

20th birthday and enjoyed a lovely marriage for 44 years until he passed away in 1974. Throughout her life she has lived in Atwood, Kan., Las Vegas, Nev., La Mesa, Calif., Spokane, Wash., and Vernal.

that specialize in conducting studies for casinos, officials said. The size and cost of a gaming facility depends on the outcome of the feasibility study, Sands said. The town council and the tribe are interested in developing a destination resort that would include a casino, a lodge or hotel, an RV park and a golf course, he said. “With the rafting industry and a national monument in the area, it would be nice to build a destination resort to attract visitors there for a few days,” Sands said. Also included in the draft agreement is an option for the Ute Tribe to purchase land. According to federal Native American gaming regulations, a casino must be built on tribal land. Before the tribe can purchase land, which would be considered a federal land trust, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and the office of Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper would have to approve the acquisition. As part of a land trust application, the BIA will consider the tribe’s need for the land, purpose of the land purchase, impact of removing land from state and local tax rolls, jurisdictional problems in terms of land use, compliance with federal environmental laws, a business plan, economic benefits, state and local comments on the acquisition’s potential impacts and the proximity of the purchased land to the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, Sands said. The leadership of the Ute Tribe, headquartered in Fort Duchesne, is interested in a potential project with Dinosaur for various reasons, Sands said. Utah is one of two states in the country that prohibits gambling. Although Native American tribes are viewed by

the federal government as sovereign, self-governing entities, it defers to states regarding gambling laws. Dinosaur is also an attractive location because part of the Uintah-Ouray Reservation straddles the Utah-Colorado border and ends approximately two miles west of Dinosaur. “Its close proximity to reservation land makes the BIA’s approval of the land trust more likely,” Sands said. Because the casino will legally be located on tribal land, if the BIA approves the project, Moffat County and Dinosaur will not be allowed to collect tax revenue. The Ute Tribe is willing to enter into an operating agreement with Dinosaur to provide police services and perform exterior maintenance, which Dinosaur will be compensated for in lieu of taxes, Sands said. The tribe also want to enter into a 50/50 partnership with the town, the attorney said. “That would allow us to capitalize on 50 percent of the revenue,” he said. “But, that also means we would have to come up with 50 percent of the financing.” Dinosaur does not have the funds to finance a resort, but Sands said the town could issue revenue bonds to meet its share of the cost. Moffat County Commissioner Audrey Danner said the commission is in favor of Dinosaur considering opportunities to improve its economy. However, she’s not ready to endorse the casino resort project. “We support the Town of Dinosaur looking for ways to sustain its community,” Danner said. “I don’t have enough information to give my support to that particular project yet.” Although the county would have few legal avenues to pursue if it wanted to block a gaming facility in Dinosaur, Sands said it is still important to get the commission’s support.

Just over the border in Grand Junction, Colo., the House Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade met Monday to discuss whether excessive federal regulations are limiting energy development. David Ludlam, executive

director of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association’s West Slope chapter, said the energy industry has a jobs plan for America, “remove regulatory roadblocks to shovel ready energy projects in western Colorado.” Instead of Washington’s top

down jobs proposal, Ludlam called for a bottom up economic development plan. “Regulation for regulations’ sake kills jobs,” he said, adding that the wrong regulations at the wrong time will continue to threaten economy prosperity.

Lapoint Elementary ready for students By Ranae Bangerter Vernal Express

Lapoint Elementary School is finally coming together after a summer of demolition and reconstruction from within. “The way I see it is, it looked like they set a bomb off in here, blew all the doors and windows and walls out and that was all that was left,� said Lapoint Principal Dennis Atkin. “I don’t think you can see anything that hasn’t been touched.� Renovations include an enclosed library, computer labs, as well as renovated classrooms and office spaces.

An area on the north side, near the kindergarten, that used to be open and devoid of walls in the center, has now been transformed into computer labs and classrooms. The library, which was also open to the hallway with no walls, is now enclosed in its own room. “This project was slated to be ‘as new,’ which is different than just a common renovation,� Atkin said. “It’s a good design.� The gymnasium-cafeteria has been re-done to include a new floor, a separation curtain, removal of the ceiling tiles, new cooking equipment in the

Shallow book shelves, known as gutters, are in every classroom to feature reading material and display writing or art projects.

New sod was put in outside of Lapoint Elementary School. The building has been under construction since just before school got out in May. kitchen and fold-out tables. “This will save (employees) a lot of time and give us a lot more room in the cafeteria,� Atkin said about the fold-out tables. Three classrooms are empty of students and teachers, but the school is full and enrollment went up this year, the principal said. New music and art rooms are now available, and a Level Reader Library was added as a resource for teachers. It includes books for readers in all grade levels. “It’s a good way to store books in a school so I don’t need to buy a set like this in every classroom,� Atkin said. He said the entire library was moved into the building and reorganized within three days by two parents and a former student. As for the rest of the build-

ing, moving everything back into the previously-gutted school took only 4 to 5 hours thanks to the help of Uintah High School athletes and clubs. The students’ efforts were part of a fundraiser where the Uintah School District awards money to clubs who help schools move in. On the Friday before school started, 80 to 100 students helped carry in desks, chairs, computers and boxes of classroom materials from storage units that were parked outside of the school during construction. People from the community also helped move in supplies, Atkin said. “They just wanted to come and help. Without them we would not have had school,� he said. “It was incredible. I tell them it was a Herculean effort that they put in. It was just a huge community effort.�

Once everything was loaded in and stacked in the center of the classrooms, teachers were not allowed to arrange their classrooms until Monday as bulletin boards, bookshelves and other materials still needed to be added. The day before school started, when most teachers were preparing for the first week of teaching, the school held an open house for the community to let students locate their classrooms, and prove to the parents that school would be in session, Atkin said. “It’s been a work in progress,� he said. “If you could’ve seen this two weeks ago, it’s just amazing how much work has happened.� He said he was impressed that through the whole process he didn’t hear one person complain about the lateness

of getting ready in the school building. “That was tough, but I heard no complaints,� he said. Every classroom now has personal microphones for teachers, Smartboards, document cameras, computers, and shallow shelves called “gutters� used to display books in the front of the room on the wall. As for the outside, a pushbutton flagpole was installed, new sod was put in, and a new blacktop will be paved behind the school. For the first few weeks of school students were playing in the dirt, something that they enjoyed, but the principal said teachers were constantly concerned about safety because outside construction still continued. “That’s our big thing is to be safe,� Atkin said.

The Uintah School District Board approved the purchase of a new school bus at their last meeting. A replacement bus was needed a the bus that was recently involved in an accident on Aug. 26 at 500 East Main in Vernal. The motion to purchase the vehicle was made by Dr. James Allen, seconded by Mark

Caldwell and carried by the board. However, a decision to purchase an additional compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle rather than a gasoline-powered school bus was tabled for further evaluation. In other business, board member Shane Oaks motioned the formal names of Maeser Training Center and Uintah Indoor Sports Complex be approved. The motion carried.

Seniors encouraged to apply for the Daniels Scholarship The Daniels Fund is now accepting applications for scholarships to be awarded in spring 2012. Utah high school seniors should ask their school counselors for information, or visit www.danielsfund.org. The application deadline is Nov. 30. In establishing the Daniels Fund, cable pioneer Bill Daniels directed the scholarship program to seek out promising students who demonstrate strength of character, leadership potential, academic performance or promise, a well-rounded personality, and the potential to contribute to their community. Students must also demonstrate financial need. Daniels scholarships are not full-ride. Instead, they cover the unmet need of the student. The schol-

arship amount is determined after all other financial aid resources and an expected family contribution have been applied. Students must be nominated by a referral agency, which include all area high schools plus designated youth serving organizations that assist in the nomination process. A list of those high schools and youth serving organizations is posted on the Daniels Fund website. Bill Daniels, who owned the ABA’s Utah Stars, established the Daniels Fund to operate the Daniels Fund Scholarship Program and the Daniels Fund Grants Program in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

Signing held for historical B1 - HEADER photo book of Ashley Valley By Liberty Montague Vernal Express

Between January and March this year, the women in the Regional History Center of the Uintah County Library put together historical photos and captions for a book to add to the Images of America series — “Ashley Valley.� The book is a compilation of 200 photographs capturing the early years in the Ashley Valley and features several of the people who are important to the valley’s history. “I love this book,� said Diane Coltharp, a patron at the Thursday book signing at the Uintah County Library. “I have a lot of connection to the photos in this book, connections with family and situations that are

important.� Coltharp bought two copies so she could have one and give one to her aunt. The four authors of the book, Elaine Carr, Ellen Kiever, Michelle Fuller, and Susan Merrell, were on hand to sign copies. The women, who all work at the Regional History Center, compiled all of the photographs and wrote the captions for the book. The group made all the executive decisions, including choosing the cover photo. “The cover had to be a catchy photo that would trigger fond memories and pull at people’s heart strings,� Carr said. The cover photo is from 1924 when the Doughboy statue was placed in the center of town in the middle of the intersection of Main Street and Vernal Av-

enue. The Doughboy was one of the first statues to be placed in Utah, but after that Doughboys were found throughout the country. The book not only features historical photos but also has bits of history that people who have lived in the Ashley Valley their entire lives may not even know. The first printing of the book consists of 300 copies available at area bookstores, the Western Heritage Museum, Wednesday, the Uintah County Library, as September 28, 2011 - Vernal Express well as through independent and online retailers. Copies of Ashley Valley are selling for $21.99 each, the book is also LIBERTY MONTAGUE, VERNAL EXPRESS available straight from Arcadia Publishing at at 888-313-2665 Ellen Kiever, Elaine Carr, Susan Merrell, and Michelle Fuller, authors of the book “Ashley Valley�� or www.arcadiapublishing. — the most recent installment in the Images of America series — sign copies of the publication at the Uintah County Library for Howard Abplanap and Debbie Cook. com.

Vernal’s Storytelling festival delights record crowds By Liberty Montague Vernal Express

Once upon a time, storytelling was a way for people to educate as well as entertain. Not just tellers of tales, storytellers tell of times past either from their own life histories, or stories they’ve adapted from the tales of others. Stories impact our lives daily. We tell them and hear them every single day, we just don’t think about it. This year, the Uintah School District hosted three internationally renowned storytellers Elizabeth Ellis, Milbre Burch and Barbara McBride-Smith for the 2011 Indian Summer Storytelling Festival, Sept 22 and 23, in Vernal. “Storytelling is our oldest art form, it enlivens our imagination and quickens our curiosity,” Elizabeth Ellis said. Ellis, originally from Kentucky but now from Texas, has been to Vernal for the festival in past years. “It gives us a sense of well being and comfort, and reminds us of the times when we were little kids and we didn’t have any cares or worries,” Ellis said. Far from just child’s play, storytelling is for all ages. Milbre Burch, said she enjoys telling stories for both students and adult audiences. “I’m fond of saying from preschool to prison,” she said. Burch, originally from Atlanta, believes storytellers bring who they are to what they do. Known for her classic wit she said, “I’m a kid who has been performing since she was a child in her parent’s car port.” Her stand-in listeners of bikes and cars in the carport have been replaced audiences throughout the country. Texas-born storyteller Barbara McBride-Smith, said knowing your audience is essential. “A story that I told a week ago in Indiana doesn’t’ get the same response in Utah,” McBride-Smith said. Audiences come with different experiences, McBrideSmith said, adding their awareness of different issues, or their past experience at life in general can make a difference in how they respond. “(Storytelling) builds the imagination, you have to imagine something happening to be able to tell about it well,” she said, adding when a person tells a story “it really develops that ability to imagine something, and it also teaches kids to interact with other people.” Even though there were three storytellers it was hard for audience members to pick favorites. “I think it’s very entertaining,” said storytelling festival attendee Eric Jones. “It keeps you entertained to see facial expressions and acting along with hearing the story.” The Uintah Schools Foundation sponsors the Vernal Indian Summer Storytelling Festival to help raise funds for schools they might not be able to raise on their own. The foundation organizes several events during the year including the Bar-J-Wranglers during the holidays, the Fifth Grade Challenge, Trees for Charity and other events. Pe r h a p s , t h e i r b i g gest accomplishment is the storytelling festival. “To me, it’s to bring good storytelling to the children and the community, and to get them excited about telling their stories,” Uintah Schools Foundation President Vernie Heeney said. Heeney says video games and television diminish imagination.

More than 60 people participated in Friday morning’s workshops, taught by storytellers, the three classes consisted of how to use your body to develop a character, how to develop your own personal story and how to develop stories told as a group. “It was really something,” said event coordinator Lori Olmstead. “There were students and teachers learning side by side. I had comments about how they wished it had gone longer even if it went half the day; I think it’s something people will want next year too.” The event grows in size every year with more spectators and this year had the best turn out so far. This year’s storytelling festival not only sold out for the first year ever but also oversold and overflowed for the “Haunted Tales” portion of the festival, which was held

Friday evening. “Seeing the turnout made it all worth it,” Olmstead said, “It was very rewarding this year.” Brittany Williamson, 13, came to Vernal from Tridell to enjoy the storytelling. “I liked all the stories, it was really cool. I didn’t know what to think, this was my first year but now that I’m here I want to come again next year.” The event included bedtime stories, followed by “A Grand Night of Tales” on Thursday, with workshops Friday morning, followed by dinner theater and then “Late Night Tales.” During two events, door prizes of book bags filled with school supplies and donations from local businesses were raffled off to audience members who bought a $5 membership for the Uintah Schools Foundation.

Ray Hobbs, of Ogden, is a former B-17 crew member and flew with the Sentimental Journey to Vernal. Hobbs recalls that officers would tell crew members not to become friends with bunk mates, they might not come back from the next mission. The flying museums help adults and youngsters connect with the history of the WWII planes.

By Steve Puro Vernal Express

As the B-17 bomber approached the tarmac onlookers could see the glistening fuselage as it swooped in over the threshold. The drone of the Wright turbosupercharged engines filled the air as the flaps and landing gear lowered and the bomber skimmed the ground for a safe landing. But it isn’t World War II and the audience isn’t gathered in Wales, this B-17 touched down in Vernal. The Commemorative Air Force has arrived in town with two flying museums, the B-17 “Sentimental Journey� and the B-25 “Maid in

the Shade.� The two planes arrived on Monday and will leave after today. “We know everyone can’t get to our big hangar in Mesa, Arizona to see all the planes, so we bring the B-17 and the B-25 to them,� Wing Ops Officer and flight instructor Russ Gilmore said. While riding in the plane, the smell of partially burned AvGas and clouds of exhaust come in through the bomb bay doors as the engines start. The noise is deafening as the four engines come to life. On landing, the smell of burned rubber filters in as the tires touch the runway. The entire plane has been restored to the condition of a WWII B-17G as it would

have served with the 457th Bomb Group with the Eighth Air Force based in Glatton England. The planes were built for combat and the original designs never called for them to be in service for over 60 years. After the first guest flight, Sentimental Journey began leaking some oil from the right inboard engine. “Most radials engines, if they don’t leak oil there’s something wrong with them,â€? flight chief Jim Lewellen said. â€?This one’s got a leak more than normal. Probably we will take a look at this one while we are here even though it runs smooth as silk. I don’t get too nervous until I see 37 ½ gallons of oil leaking all the way out.â€? Memorabilia adorns the radio room and the bombar-

dier’s desk in the nose with maps, notes, and pictures of girlfriends back home. Those who share their love for the planes nod their heads to those they consider the real heroes, men who flew in them, like Ray Hobbs of Ogden. Hobbs rode to Vernal with the B-17 as part of the interpretation team for the exhibit. Hobbs began flying in B-17’s in 1945. A quiver comes to his voice as he recounts the history he witnessed. “In the wintertime when they flew missions, it was 65 degrees below zero at 30,000 feet. They suffered badly,� he said. Over 12,700 B-17’s were built and delivered, but not all came back to base from their high altitude bombing runs. The chances of coming

back were one in 10 according to Hobbs. “Just above our base was the ‘Bloody Hundredth’ bomb group,� Hobbs remembers. “One mission, they put up 18 bombers and nobody came back. I’ve thought over the years what a heartbreaking thing it would have been to be a CO (commanding officer) and lose a whole flight that he put up. That’s 18 planes with crews of 10 in each.� Only nine flying B-17’s are left, according to pilot in command Pete Scholl. Scholl captained the Sentimental Journey into Vernal and piloted the first flight for passengers around and over the Vernal area. Funds to keep the programs alive come from the tours, guest flights, and direct donations. Four hundred and fifty volunteers help keep the planes restored and serviced. Parts are always a concern. There are only 50 surviving B-17 according to the CAF website. The top turret of the Sentimental Journey was found on a fuselage sitting as decoration over a gas station in Oregon. “A lot of times when we come to smaller airports like Vernal, we’ll have someone walk up and say, ’Hey, I have a wheel,’ or this or that or the other,� pilot John Magoffin said. “We’ll go take a look. Some of the machine shops still have a store of parts for rebuilding the engines or propellers.� Tours of the two planes are open to the public at the General Aviation apron at the Vernal Airport through Wednesday. Adults cost $5 and children 5-12 are $3. Reserving space on either plane for an onboard flight experience can be arranged by visiting the bombers on the airport ramp. More information about the Commemorative Air Force, the planes on tour, and giving to their 501C organization can be found on their website www.azcaf.org.

Uintah’s Harley Murray passes up a runner from Moffat on her way to another win.

Girls’ cross country team wins two races; boys take second By Graham C. Terry Vernal Express

Uintah High School’s Harley Murray took two individual first place ribbons and led her team to two wins, at the Carbon Invitational on Wednesday and at the Moffat Invitational on Saturday. The boys’ team finished second in both races. Uintah head coach Gary Galley said although both races were run against small fields, “the competition was still good. Both those races had some good runners, just not a lot of good runners.� Murray ran the Carbon course in 18:38, and was joined in the top 10 by Aubrey Rust, who took seventh place with a time of 20:29, Lindsey Rust, who was ninth with a 20:32,

and Ashley Hill, who took 10th with a 20:40. On the boys’ side, Kiley Gross took third place with a 16:29, Keaton Graham was fourth with a 16:34, and Keaton Merrell came in 10th with a 17:09. Other schools at the Carbon meet included Dugway, Wasatch Academy, North Sanpete, and Juab. In the Moffat Invitational, the Utes took on Moffat, Steamboat, Rifle and Rangely. Murray completed the course in 19:41, Aubrey Rust took fourth place with a 21:19, and Hill was fifth with a 21:22. Gross was once again the top boys’ runner for Uintah, finishing in fifth with a 17:34, followed by Graham in sixth with a 17:39, and Merrell in eighth with an 18:06.

The Utes’ next race will be a pre-region test at Union on Wednesday, followed by the Park City Invitational on Saturday. Region championships will be at Union on Oct.11. Galley said his team is almost where it needs to be at this stage of the season. “We’re actually getting pretty good right now,� Galley said. “We’re coming along pretty strong. I’d like to see some of the boys take a little bit of time off. There are probably about five of them that need to take 30 seconds off by region.� Galley said that with Murray running extremely well, his girls’ team’s chief concern is running in a pack better, which he said can drive down the other team’s score.

Uintah High School women’s volleyball cruised to a 3-0 win over Park City, and appeared ready to win again with a 2-0 lead over Wasatch before the Wasps came back to win in five sets. The Utes were coached in the two games by assistant coach Roberta Poglajen. Head coach Jessica Boren was on an elk hunt. Poglajen said that while the team won easily, she did not feel that the team played to its best potential.

Ashlee Ryan scored nine kills and two aces and Mookie Harris had 10 digs to lead the defensive effort against the Miners. Breanne Timothy was also strong on defense with six blocks. Micah Young chipped in with eight kills, and Harlee Poglajen had two aces. Uintah rolled to victory in the first two sets against Wasatch, 25-16 and 25-13, but were victims of a Wasp rally in the third set, eventually losing 25-20. Then Uintah lost a harrowing fourth set, 26-24, and Wasatch completed the impressive rally with a 15-13 win in the fifth. “As a coach you’re frustrated,�

Poglajen said, “because in the fourth game I thought we had them. We won the first two games and we did it very easily. The first two games we played out of our mind. The next three it’s not like we played bad, they just shut us down.� Timothy had 12 kills against Wasatch, and Young and Ryan tied for second in that category with 11 apiece. Lindsy Jolley led with five blocks, Poglajen had four aces and 12 digs, and Harris led with 24 digs. Wasatch was led by Scarlett Walker with 33 digs. Wasatch had 30 kills as a team.

Northeastern Region Fishing Report – Sept. 15

BROUGH RESERVOIR: (September 15) Anglers report fair, hit-or-miss fishing. Try fishing in the cool early-morning and evening hours when the fish are active and closer to the surface. Remember, no baits can be used at Brough. You may keep one trout over 22 inches, but all others must be released. During this warm weather, please catch and release fish quickly and efficiently — they are under a lot of stress. For proper catchand-release technique, please see the Flaming Gorge kokanee report. BROWNE LAKE: (September 15) Fishing has been fair to good. Try worms or other trout baits, use small brightly-colored lures or match the insect hatches. Watch out for storms — the weather can change very quickly in the Uinta Mountains. BULLOCK RESERVOIR: (September 15) There haven’t been any recent reports, but people have been fishing the reservoir. You’ll likely find fair to good fishing for bass and rainbows. CALDER RESERVOIR: (September 15) Anglers report fair to good fishing. This reservoir is managed for larger fish, so there are fewer of them and the catch rates will be slower. If you want faster fishing, try a water with more abundant, smaller fish. Bait is not allowed at Calder. You may keep one trout over 22 inches; all others must be released immediately. During this warm weather, please catch and release fish quickly and efficiently — they are under a lot of stress. For proper catch-and-release technique, please see the Flaming Gorge kokanee report. COTTONWOOD RESERVOIR: (September 15) There haven’t been any recent reports, but anglers have been fishing the reservoir. This is usually a good time to fish for smallmouth bass and black bullhead. (They grow large enough in Cottonwood to provide a good fillet.) You should find fair fishing for all species. CROUSE RESERVOIR: (September 15) You’ll find it easy to access the reservoir, and the fishing is fair to good. The area received a good snowfall and, for the first time in many years, the reservoir is full. This allowed the hatcheries to stock catchables this spring, which are now big, fat healthy fish. When biologists surveyed the reservoir, they caught a few large fish that somehow survived the winter. CURRANT CREEK RESERVOIR: (September 15) You’ll find fair to good fishing for tiger, rainbow and cutthroat trout. Try using brightly colored spoons and fish imitations. Popular flies include black and brown leeches and woolly buggers with a splash of yellow, orange or red. Worms and marshmallows — and some of the commercial baits — are also working well. Access is open to the campground from the south. Roughly half of the road from the south was black-topped last year and provides easy access to the dam. Whether you can access the area beyond the gate depends on the most recent storms. Watch the weather carefully — the mountains can receive sudden storms. EAST PARK RESERVOIR: (September 15) Fishing has been fair to good. Trout baits (a worm or worm-and-marshmallow combination), commercial baits and small brightly colored lures seem to be working best. FLAMING GORGE: (September 15) You’ll find fair to excellent fishing, depending on the species. Water temperatures are beginning to cool but are still in the low 70s or high 60s. LONG PARK RESERVOIR: (September 15) The reservoir is full, and you’ll find fair to good fishing for rainbows. Try using brightly colored spoons and fish imitations. Popular flies include black and brown leeches and woolly buggers with a splash of yellow, orange or red. Worm-and-marshmallow combinations and some of the commercial baits are also working well. MATT WARNER: (September 15) Anglers report good fishing for three age classes of rainbows. The usual late-summer weed growth is limiting where anglers can fish from the bank. Most of the bank fishing is now in the arm near the outlet and boat ramp. Overnight temperatures are starting to cool the waters. You’ll find the best fishing in the early mornings or in the evenings. Access is good, and the reservoir water level is high. All three Diamond Mountain reservoirs flowed over their spillways this year. Try using brightly colored spoons and fish imitations. Popular flies include black and brown leeches and woolly buggers with a splash of yellow, orange or red. Worm-and-marshmallow combinations and some of the commercial baits are also working well. MOOSE POND: (September 15) Anglers report good fishing for stocked rainbows. Try using brightly colored spoons and fish imitations. Popular flies include black and brown leeches and woolly buggers with a splash of yellow, orange or red. Wormand-marshmallow combinations and some of the commercial baits are also working well. PELICAN LAKE: (September 15) Anglers are doing well, mostly from boats, because it’s becoming more difficult to find a good hole from the bank. One good spot for shoreline anglers is the new fishing pier installed by the DWR this year (near the boat ramp on the southwest corner of the lake). A worm fished under a bobber and small lures have both been hot for bluegill. Others are catching both bass and bluegill with a sinking fly or a well-placed jig. Bass can be in the shallows, along the reed line or in the deeper waters. Bluegill are mainly in the deeper waters. RED FLEET RESERVOIR: (September 15) The bass and bluegill are beginning to move out of the shallows into deeper waters, but you can still catch some near the shores. Fishing has been fair to good. Trout have moved to deeper, cooler water, and are mainly active early or late in the day. Walleye are still elusive, but we keep getting a few reports each week from anglers who are catching them. Try using lightly weighted jigs (tipped with worms or other bait), bottom bouncers or crankbaits in the backs of the bays or in the rocks along rocky points. The cooler hours deliver better fishing. We have also had reports of anglers catching walleye using a slow troll. They stayed close to the bottom in the deep waters and were using fish imitations. We had one report of anglers drifting worms and commercial baits but they didn’t provide additional details. SHEEP CREEK LAKE: (September 15) Anglers report slow fishing because the weeds have come up along the shore. Try using brightly colored spoons and fish imitations. Effective flies include black and brown leeches and woolly buggers with a splash of yellow, orange or red. Take bug spray — the mosquitoes and deer flies have been active.

The visiting Juan Diego Soaring Eagles jumped to an early lead on the Utes Friday night at Uintah High School and cruised to a 61-14 victory marred only by a pair of turnovers returned for Ute touchdowns. “Well, obviously they got off the ball harder than us and they executed better than us,” Uintah head coach Doug Harding said. “That’s just a good football team we played and they outplayed us all night.” Linebackers Christian Connelly and Derek Reasch both scored defensive touchdowns for Uintah, as the play of the Ute defense continues to be the team’s strong point. Connelly tracked down a loose ball and raced back 76 yards for a score in the second quarter, while Reasch had a 41-yard interception return in the third. “Braiden Labrum made a play over there and hit the kid pretty hard,” Connelly said, in reference to the hit that jarred the football out of the Juan Diego ballcarrier’s hands.

Sprouse is also trying to line up big name fighter Travis Marx to come to the Uintah Basin for the next RMFC. “If he doesn’t fight in our show it’ll be because he’s in the Ultimate Fighting Championship,” Sprouse said. Marx has a 17-3 record in mixed martial arts fights with one no contest against Nick Mamalis. He has taken the cage against such notable fighters as Radley Martinez, Steven Siler, Jesse Brock and Trevor Mellen, many of whom are now with major fighting organizations such as the UFC or Bellator Fighting Championships.

Sharieff Shah and Barbiero tacked on 60 plus yard rushing touchdowns in the second half. “They just do what they believe in and they execute,” Harding said. Next up for Uintah is Park City, who come to Uintah High School for homecoming, Friday night. The Miners earned the first win of their season Friday night in a blowout over Union, 57-15. Quarterback Heath Vincent accounted for five touchdowns, and running back Chad Smith had 98 rushing yards on 16 carries. Harding said his team will take the field with renewed effort to get that first win, saying, “These kids aren’t quitters.” Christian Connelly was similarly upbeat. “That was the best game that we’ve played so far,” he said. “We’re getting better and we’re going to be good and hopefully we’ll be in the playoffs.”

ly, who plays both ways for the Utes, shoved aside one Soaring Eagle who was attempting to field the loose ball and then scooped it up himself and took off the other way. Connelly said at one point he doubted if he could score, because he said, “I’m a fat kid and I can’t run that far,” but the Soaring Eagle pursuers were unable to haul him down and he broke the plane. A flag came out, but the penalty was called on Juan Diego and Tanner Seitz converted the extra point for Uintah. Late in the second quarter coach Harding inserted sophomore Hunter Connelly at quarterback replacing junior Jade Christofferson. Hunter Connelly is a converted running back and displayed good elusiveness on a few plays. Hunter Connelly only began playing quarterback for the Uintah junior varsity the week before last. Christian Connelly praised his younger brother’s play saying, “He did a hell of a job for us.” Juan Diego opened the scoring with five unanswered touchdowns; two A.J. Barbiero

U’ette alumni invited to join halftime show By Graham C. Terry Vernal Express

All Uintah High School U’ette alumni are invited to join the current team for a performance during halftime of Friday’s homecoming game against Park City. U’ette head coach Robin McClellan said the team has conducted one practice session with a little more than a dozen alumni already, with another scheduled for Thursday, from 7-9 p.m. at the Uintah football field. Alumni who couldn’t make it to the first practice are still encouraged to attend on Thursday to be a part of the performance. “I just wanted to involve our

alums somehow,” McClellan said. “I really wanted to show the present-day U’ettes the tradition they are a part of.” Choreography for the show was put together by volunteer coach Rachel Brown and dance captain Madeleine Duffin. “We’ve got ladies that graduated in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s,” McClellan said. “I have U’ettes from all those decades. It’s awesome. I was crossing my fingers we’d get some from the 60s.” McClellan said the alumni U’ette performance might become an annual homecoming tradition at Uintah “if it works out,” adding that “so far it’s been really fun.” There is also a mix and min-

that they had against us at the beginning of the season.” Elder and Mackenzie Calder scored early on for Uintah, and the Utes held on to win, adding a goal from Taylor Henrine in the second half. “We just came out really strong right from the first whistle” against Park City, Kelly said. “I think it was just the mentality of the team. We kept a tight ship on field. We had such unity on the field for all 80 minutes.” Uintah got the win against Park City despite missing Orr — suspended from the match for her red card against Wasatch — and forward Melissa Hansen, who was out with an unspecified illness. The Utes’ next game is at rivals Union, who will be looking to get back a few of the six goals Uintah scored on them in their last meeting, while Uintah will try to keep its momentum going.

Golf team wins Eastern Utah Cup to qualify for state meet By Graham C. Terry Vernal Express

The Uintah High School golf team played what its coach called the hardest course yet, River Oaks in Sandy, and finished fifth there on Thursday, then hosted and won the Eastern Utah Cup on Friday at Dinaland Golf Course. Josh Laney shot a winning 73 at River Oaks, and Christian Karren shot a 69 at the Eastern Utah Cup to win that event. “It was narrow, it played really slow,” head coach Todd Meyer said of River Oaks. “It was probably a six-hour round. There were a lot more blind shots than I remembered.” Wasatch won the River Oaks tournament with a 306, followed by hosts Juan Diego with a 313, Park City with a 314, Union with a 317, Uintah with a 318, and Judge Memorial with a 327. Judge and Union are now eliminated from the state tournament, while the remaining four schools will compete at state on October 5-6. Uintah hosted Price and Union at the Eastern Utah Cup for the fourth year. Christian Karren bounced back from a bad day at River Oaks to finish with a 69 at the Dinaland

Course, and Meyer said his team improved its performance from the regional tournament it hosted earlier in the season, going from a 300 to a 296. Union shot a 336 and Price a 339 as Uintah retained its cup easily. Kaden Collins of Union shot a 72, and Uintah’s Brady Johnson fired a 73 after having a previous season-best of 79. The team Meyer will take to state is Karren, Davis, Laney, sophomores Janzen Davis, Brady Johnson, and freshman Colby Birch. The Utes will play one more tournament before state, an invitational at Spanish Oaks against Wasatch, Park City and Spanish Fork. State is being played at Fox Hollow in American Fork this year, and Meyer will take his team to play one practice round there before the championship round begins. Meyer is upbeat about his team’s chances at state, after being tested by a difficult Region 10 schedule and playing well head-to-head against top contenders Park City and Wasatch. “I think the state champion will come out of Region 10. I just hope it’s Uintah. We’ve been knocking on the door all year,” Meyer said. “We beat Wasatch

two out of the last three meets, and we lost to Park City by two shots and four shots the last two meets, and I really think Park City is the favorite.“ He said a lot will depend on how Karren plays. “He’s good enough to win it all as an individual,” he said, while adding that Josh Laney has been the most consistent.
