With just the click of a mouse but-ton Uintah Basin residents can help Dinosaur National Monument win up to $100,000 in grant money for improvements. The National Park site is one of thousands throughout the nation nominated for the “America’s Favor-ite Park” award through Coca-Cola’s Live Positively campaign. Through Sept. 6, fans of the monument can go online to www.livepositively.com, click on the “Vote for your Park” link, to cast their vote for Dinosaur National Monument. People are allowed to vote as often as they want for the same site. Votes can also be cast by “checking in” from the monument using Facebook, or by uploading photos from a visit to the monument on the Coca-Cola website. Dan Johnson, chief of interpreta-tion at Dinosaur National Monument, said he hopes area residents will take the time to show their support in the favorite parks campaign. “Last year in this competition, a small community came together and managed to get enough votes for their park to win,” Johnson said. “They beat out other larger communities because they organized and worked together. We’d love to see that happen here.” Although only one park will be

Looking at the photo Tracy Beede held of her son Friday afternoon, it’s hard to imagine that he was always a mama’s boy. In the image, Sgt. Daniel Gurr is resolutely standing guard as fel-low Marines move away from a he-licopter that has just dropped them on the deck of a ship. He’s clad in full battle gear, his assault rifle pointed muzzle down. “He always wor-ried about me,” Beede said, sitting in the front room of her Vernal home surrounded by a growing circle of family and friends. “He’d call all my friends and ask, ‘How’s mom doing?’” she added. Of course, Beede feared for her son’s safety, too. Less than five hours earlier the worst of those fears became reality when the mother of four an-swered a knock on the door and found two Marines and a sailor standing on her porch. “I knew,” Beede said. Gurr, who enlisted in the Marine Corps before entering his senior year at Uintah High School, was shot and

RJHS gets ready for sixth gradersBy Steve PuroUintah Basin Standard

Teachers began moving into their classrooms last week as crews contin-ued to put the finishing touches on the new sixth grade wing at Roosevelt Junior High School. “It’s a nice facility,” said RJHS Principal Rick Nielsen. “The school and all the facilities are just going to enhance our opportunities for the community.” The addition includes 18 new classrooms, a training room that will be used by the district and public, and a multipurpose room located above the wrestling room of the original building. The multipurpose room has a tiled floor and is nearly the size of two classrooms, Nielsen said. It can be used for special projects, presenta-tions, incentive parties and similar activities, he said. One of the few things still waiting for completion is the new gymna-sium.“It’s been too humid to lay down the tongue and groove flooring for the new gymnasium,” Nielsen said. “When it’s done, it’s going to be really nice for the community for Junior Jazz and other sports programs.” The decision to move the sixth grade from Roosevelt Middle School — now named Kings Peak Elementary School — was reached by the Duch-esne County School Board during the

last academic year. The third grade will also move from East Elementary to Kings Peak this year. The moves are meant to help temporarily lower the number of students at East Elementary. The school district expects that it will have to build a new elementary school in Roosevelt within the next decade to

accommodate growth. Along with the seven teachers who are moving into RJHS this year, the school is expecting to add 210 kids to its student body. Total enrollment for the junior high will be somewhere around 653 students. The actual

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Tribal econo-mies could see a boost with a new rule that makes it easier — and possibly timelier — for some industrial facili-ties to obtain permits to do business on American Indian reservations. The rule that goes into effect later this month covers permits for large and small emissions sources in Indian Country. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency outlined the rule earlier this year. “In the past, sources may have avoided Indian Country because of uncertainty in the permitting pro-cess,” said Janet McCabe, deputy administrator for the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “In other cases, states may have been issuing permits

EPA clarifies rules on tribal landsplants and cement plants that emit more than 100 tons of pollutants a year, as well as smaller ones — like gas stations, boilers at casinos and auto body shops that emit less than 100 or 250 tons a year — in areas where national air standards haven’t been met. More than 77 tribes in the country are in those areas, according to the EPA. The new rule lays out requirements for those sources and also requires that the smaller emissions sources register throughout Indian Country. “You couldn’t get a permit to do dry cleaning or to do some sort of rock quarrying — take your pick, all kinds of things,” said Phil Baker-Shenk, an attorney who represents a handful of tribes on the matter. “You could not get a permit if you were in Indian Country, but if you stepped over the

boundary, you could get one from the state.” The permitting process that limits carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen di-oxide, particulate, ozone and sulfur dioxide emissions isn’t new, but the requirements weren’t applied consis-tently. While states had permitting authority, Indian Country was largely left out for decades. The process ap-plies to all new and expanding indus-trial facilities. The rule came in response to requests from tribes and from com-panies that were having trouble getting permits to operate on tribal reservations, said Laura McKelvey of the EPA’s air quality planning and standards office. She cited a petroleum company unable to get a permit on

The EPA says the rules fill an important regulatory gap in the country’s air program that not only serves to foster economic development in Indian Country but protects the health of tribal members and gives the public an opportunity to weigh in on proposed permits. By requiring existing sources to register, the EPA can get a better handle on how much pollution is being emitted into the air from tribal lands.

when Army Spc. Preston J. Suter, 22, of Sandy, was killed when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device, the Defense Department said. On July 10, Lance Cpl. Norberto Mendez-Hernandez of Logan died while conduct-ing combat operations in the Helmand province. And on July 16, U.S. Army Cpl. Raphael Arruda, 21, of South Ogden, was patrolling the Kandahar province in a mine-resistant vehicle when the truck was hit by an IED, family members

said. Gov. Gary Herbert, who just returned from visiting Utah troops deployed to the Middle East, said learning of Gurr’s death was “a moving moment to be so grateful to be back home and yet realize the ultimate price paid by our sol-diers and their families that we might enjoy these freedoms.” “Jeanette and I join the entire state of Utah in our gratitude for the noble service and sacrifice of Sgt. Daniel Gurr,” the governor said in a statement. “We honor him for

pursuing his dream of military service for the country he loved.” Gurr had declared as a child that he would join the military when he was old enough, family and friends said. He had played “soldier” as a kid, Beede said, and revered her father, who had been in the armed forces. At age 17, Gurr convinced his parents to allow him to enlist in the Marine Corps. He choose that branch of the ser-vice, his mother said, because “the uniform was better, so he could pick up more chicks.” “That’s a 17-year-old kid,” she said. But Beede didn’t find that 17-year-old kid when she trav-eled to Camp Pendleton, Calif., to watch her son graduate from boot camp just months after he finished high school. “He’d gone from the little boy I’d sent to boot camp to a man; a through and through man,” she said. “I had probably never been so proud of him, and not as just a mom, but as an American,” Beede added. “To watch that many Marines graduate and that many young men and women be ready to take the oath and make that sacrifice for our freedom, for our country — to give up everything for that — it was amazing.” Gurr spoke last with his mother on July 27, her birth-day. She said he was thrilled that the place where his unit was living finally had air con-ditioning, but he still longed for a real shower. Despite those hardships, and the dangers of

combat, Gurr was happy, his mother said. “He was hot and tired, but loving it,” she said. “He loved his platoon. They were his fam-ily, his brothers.” Another person Gurr had a lasting love for was Stephanie Sabin. The couple dated exclu-sively nine times over the past six years and had reunited in February. They were even en-gaged for a while in 2009 after Gurr flew Sabin to Okinawa to propose. “It was perfect,” Sabin said as she recalled dancing in the middle of the barracks with Gurr before he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Despite their on-again, off-again romance, Sabin said Gurr was “still the first person I always wanted to talk to.” They spoke in July for three days when Gurr’s unit spent some time at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan, she said. “I’m still waiting for some-body to wake me up,” Sabin said.

Beede said the loss of her son has left her feeling numb, but she believes he died in the service of others doing some-thing he was always meant to do and that he squeezed every experience possible into his brief life. “I did not see a moment since Daniel’s been born that he didn’t enjoy life,” Beede said. “He lived life to the fullest.” That life included playing soccer and serving as a student body officer at Uintah High, where he dipped and kissed the school’s female vice principal after accepting his diploma, friends and family recalled Friday, a memory that brought a mix of tears and laughter. “At 21, that boy lived a full life,” Beede said. She said her biggest fear now is that people will forget her son and his sacrifice. “He was a true man with a heart of gold,” she said. “He would have taken a bullet for anybody, even if he didn’t know them.”

major facilities or expand them in non-attainment areas had to seek a revision to a state plan that could take up to three years, but McCabe said few, if any, took that route. “That was a large part of the advantage we saw to this rule, and the reason it was important to do it, because it provides certainty in time,” McCabe said. The rule also provides a way for tribes to begin controlling pollutants within their bound-aries. Any tribe can submit an application to the EPA to oversee permitting through a tribal implementation plan or stick with a federal plan. A few tribes have been administering programs that cover smaller emissions sourc-es, the EPA said.

about all the great opportuni-ties here. It’s not just dinosaur bones. You can float the river or go on scenic drives and trails. We’d love for people to come out and see this part of their backyard.” This year marks the second year that Coca-Cola has spon-sored the “America’s Favorite Parks” competition. It was developed in collaboration with the National Park Foundation, America’s State Parks, and the National Recreation and Park Association. “Thanks to dedicated part-ners like Coca-Cola and the America Is Your Park cam-paign, our nation’s parks can continue to receive the vital

support they need,” said Neil Mulholland, president and CEO, of the National Park Foundation. Dinosaur National Monu-ment had received only 1,397 votes as of Monday, according to the contest website. By con-trast, the top park so far — Oak Park in Minot, N.D., — had received 1,671,423 votes. In 2010, thanks to more than 1.6 million votes cast by its supporters, Bear Head Lake State Park in Ely, Minn., was named “America’s Favorite Park.” Officials there are using the recreation grant to build a new warming hut to ensure safety and comfort for winter sports enthusiasts.

By Kevin AshbyUintah Basin Standard Dacia Jackson had a prob-lem. What do you do for three very active boys who are addict-ed to TV and video games when summer has just begun? “They are so literally plugged in and I figured it was time for me to unplug them,” Jackson said. She decided to look for some play sets so she could take her boys outside and away from the electronics. “I decided that a fort would be a good activity center for the backyard,” said Jackson, who was excited about this direction until she found out that even the less expensive sets cost more than $3,000. “And it was boring!” She next decided to price the lumber and go about building the fort herself. After doing some measuring and calculat-ing it was going to cost her more than $800 just for the lumber and so she bagged that idea as well. “You have to realize that I am a thrift freak from way back and so I decided to go to

Basin mom’s creativity brings pirate fun home(Deseret Industries) and look around to see what might come to mind,” Jackson said. Once there, she started seeing corner boards and fort tower railings being made out of wooden and metal bunk bed sets that had been donated to Deseret Industries. From there, the fort was only limited by Jackson’s imagination. There were bunk bed sup-ports, side posts and corner boards. She also found cribs and other headboards that fit into the decor of the fort — now taking on a pirate ship design — and her excitement level jumped a notch. “There is no doubt about it, I have D.I. karma and so I started looking in other departments for other items that would go with a pirate’s ship,” Jackson said. She found a steering wheel, treasure map place mats, a wooden box, binoculars and even a periscope. She was able to purchase a video game con-sole that came with foot pedals for gas and brake. And the project began. Jackson placed a $500 limit on her purchases and she soon noted that she would need a lot

more wood — for cheap. She got on Craigslist and found a general contractor “yard sale” in Heber where she picked up $3,000 worth of house siding for $20. She also found specials on wood in the cull lumber areas of local stores that worked fine for her needs. Jackson did ask for help from builders she knew to plan out a design that would be safe and sturdy. When construction began, her father approached her and — choosing his words carefully — expressed his con-cern that the project would look “junky.” In response to her father’s concern, Jackson vowed not to let the fort be an eyesore and even established a time line for its completion. “This has taken a lot of time to get it done,” said Jackson, who she praised her family for being content with Ramen noo-dles and macaroni and cheese for more dinners than she can count during the construction process. The ship design changed a few times during the project, with Jackson adding an entire wing just for her youngest son.

In the end, she stayed within her $500 budget. The ship has trap doors, a tire chain walkway, plastic pipe cannons, wooden decks, fancy “head-board” railings, a watchtower, monkey bars made from a crib bottom support, and even a wicker basket crows nest. “I even got on eBay and bought the pirate flag there

Oil down more than 6 percent after US credit rating downgradeBy Sandy ShoreAssociated Press

Oil plunged to its lowest price of the year Monday on concerns about the slowing global economy and future demand for oil and gas. Benchmark West Texas In-termediate crude fell $5.57, or 6.4 percent to settle at $81.31 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That is the lowest settlement price of the year for crude, but it’s still higher than the $71.63 per bar-rel low of the past 12 months. Oil hit that on Aug. 24 of last year, when a combination of disappointing economic news

and abundant supplies drove down prices. Brent crude, used to price many international varieties of crude, on Monday fell $5.63, or 5.2 percent, to settle at $103.74 per barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London. Anxious traders pulled money out of oil and stocks and bought assets considered to be safer during times of economic uncertainty, such as Treasurys and gold. Gold topped $1,700 an ounce for the first time, while stocks were down more than 5 percent. Standard & Poor’s on Friday cut the Triple-A credit rating for long-term U.S. government

debt. Monday’s trading session was the first chance traders and investors had to react, and many of them sold off. In the past two weeks, oil prices have dropped nearly $16 per barrel. Analysts think oil remain volatile this week as traders look for some clar-ity about the direction of the world economy and demand for oil. The Department of En-ergy is scheduled to release its Short-term Energy Outlook on Tuesday, and OPEC is expected to issue an updated forecast for global oil consumption as well. Traders also are concerned about debt problems in Europe,

where the European Central Bank said it will intervene to prop up the sagging economies of Spain and Italy. Some analysts believe that global oil demand, particu-larly in emerging markets like China, will continue to support prices. The share of global oil demand in emerging markets has risen from 44 percent in 2008 to 48 percent this year, Barclays Capital said in a report for clients. China’s share of global oil demand has increased

more than 2 percent in the same period. Goldman Sachs analysts also believe oil prices will rise next year. They told clients in a note published Friday that the risk of a U.S. recession has risen, but their revised U.S. economic outlook remains consistent with a recovery at a slower pace, “which is typical following a housing bust.” In addition Goldman said the outlook for economic growth in China and other

emerging markets is positive. Gasoline futures have fallen between 35 cents and 40 cents in the last two weeks. That will translate into a savings at the pump of about $140 million to $160 million a day for motor-ists, according to Cameron Hanover energy consultancy. The national average price for retail gas was $3.66 a gal-lon Monday, according to AAA. That’s down 4.2 cents in the past week but still 88.7 cents more than a year ago. Pump prices should fall further, but the drop isn’t likely to prompt consumers to spend more money on fuel because of worries about where the economy may be headed, according to OPIS chief oil analyst Tom Kloza.

Picking Up the Old Horn Again

This past weekend I was able to be part of something historic. I, along with 100 other musicians from around the Uintah Basin, met at Roosevelt Junior High for a two-day rehearsal with a concert on the second day. The Uintah Basin In Concert, jazz band, concert band, orchestra, and full orchestra concert was held Friday afternoon, as part of Uintah Basin in Celebration activities. It was an incredible experience. Mu-sicians as young as high school students and as experienced as the middle-aged played a series of songs they all sight-read (many for the first time) less than 48 hours earlier. I, as well as many others who sur-rounded me on the hot black stage, hadn’t played instruments with a band in more than four years. I personally was surprised how my nine years of practicing my alto saxophone with junior high, high school and college bands came back to me so quickly, as the cliché goes “like riding a bike.” As I looked at the notes, the music seemed impossible to play correctly and in tune within just two rehearsals. I thought to myself, “Do I even know the fingerings to some of these notes?” But, like magic, or muscle/hearing memory, I was able to play the notes in sync with the rest of the group. I played three tunes in the concert band: “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “October,” and “In Times of Triumph,” as suggested by the organizer of the event 21-year-old Edwin Butterfield of Roosevelt. Butterfield recruited all of the area musicians and set up rehearsal schedules,

guest conductors, hunted down music from the local high school, handed out two other musical selections, purchased by UBIC organizer Chad Mortensen, and guest conducted the final full orchestra number, “Pirates of the Caribbean.” In January 2009, Butterfield orga-nized the first honor band in the Basin, and came right back this summer after returning from an LDS mission to Brazil this spring. In the fall he’s headed to Utah State University to study music, and he said he hopes to return to the Basin next summer to organize another concert. As a new resident of the Uintah Basin, I was happy to see so many wonderful musicians from far and wide willing to drive to Roosevelt early in the morn-ing and practice new music alongside strangers. I was equally impressed with the musicality of not only the bands, but also the string instrumentalists, who played all three numbers with just strings, no percussion. It was jaw dropping how beautiful it was, especially knowing they’d only had two rehearsals before their performance. I left the performance feeling great about the investment my parents gave me in making me learn how to blow air through a wood reed and not squeak, and also to have fun doing it. I encourage any musicians who haven’t picked up their instrument(s) of choice in a few years, to dust it off today. Play it a bit. It may surprise you how much you remember, and then, when next summer comes along and Butterfield is recruiting another all-star group, you’ll say, “Sure, I remember how.” To contact Edwin Butterfield email him at [email protected].

City’s actions irk Roosevelt RealtorDear Editor, On June 27, 2000, our real estate office, Shar’s Realty, headed for Fruitland to tour properties we had listed there. On the way we stopped at the new service station on the right, just leaving Duchesne. One of the agents parked her car on the east side of the building and got in my Jeep with me and the rest of the office personnel. When we returned to Duch-esne and stopped for the agent to get her car, the magnetic car signs were gone from the car. I reported the incident to the Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office. They were quite upset when they called me back and told me it was the Utah High-way Patrol that had taken my signs without making the local authorities aware of it. UHP did replace the signs with new signs and came to my office as a group of five officers, dressed in full uniform, to apol-ogize for what had happened. The apology was accepted and appreciated.

However, I can’t say the same for the Roosevelt City Council. Police Chief Rick Harrison, under the direction of the mayor, city council or someone who thought they were in charge, instructed Rick to remove my real estate “For Sale” signs from the Sather property that borders the golf course. At first the city would not consider the fact that the property they had been using for 20 years was not theirs. Rick Harrison did remove the first signs, setting an example for others. I put up more signs; they were removed. In the end I lost a total of five signs at $50 piece for a total of $250, plus the cost of hiring someone to put them up for me, which is another $75 for a total of $325. Roosevelt City Manager Justin Johnson said the police kicked through grass and gullies looking for lost signs and did return five signs, so they didn’t owe me anything. The signs the police returned were not my signs from the Sather property. They were from a subdivision and had arrows on them, which were not the kind used on the Sather property. I have pictures of them. Justin Johnson said it wouldn’t cost me more than $20 to put up the signs. He would give me a check right then, if I would come and get it. There was no concern for the actual cost of the signs or the cost of the installation. It seems small claims court may be the next step. A year ago several business-es froze up on the same side of the street as my business. Mine never quit working. I didn’t feel I should have to pay for rerout-ing the water, but Roosevelt, City did. It cost me $750 for the new water line and $825 to replace the pavement. Another little gripe, I think we need to use addresses as much as possible. A stranger in town can probably find 200 N. 200 East, but where is L&L corner. The city giveth and the city taketh away. Shar BensonRoosevelt

Am I the only one who hates that guy who shows up late for every work project and then glibly asks, “Are we having fun yet?” Why doesn’t someone throw a stapler at him? Or an ax, if you’re lucky enough to be using a more powerful implement on the job? At the least someone should point out that he’s not only lazy, but also delusional about his own cleverness. Seriously, buddy, you didn’t just make that up. And, no, you know we aren’t having fun or you would have been here earlier. Of course, then the guy would say, “Better late, than never.” This is so egocentric. You think we were sneaking glances at the door hoping you’d walk through? I also want to heave work tools when the guy suggests we “address the issues.” The issue is you’re lazy and you just barely showed up. Also we should address your use of over-used phrases. This type of guy constantly has criticisms that he calls ad-vice and then says, “Just food for thought.” “Eat your own food,” I want to say. Anyone who “addresses the issues” and gives you “food for thought” also approaches problems by reminding you that “this isn’t rocket science” (which I bet you already knew) and wants you to “think outside the box.” To be honest, I hate the phrase “thinking outside the box.” When fast food restau-rants started using that cliché in their commercials, it ceased to be effective as a real com-

I fell hard. It happened when I was out on a walk with my grown son and our dogs. We walked the dirt path that winds through the cedars behind my house. The dogs trotted ahead of us with noses to the ground. Then, the earth shook. Then dozens of horses appeared, running through the flat plain of the valley. My breath caught in my throat as sorrels and grays, bays, blacks, paints and palo-minos flew past. We stood there, waiting straining to see what had caused chase through the last flashes of sunlight. Shouldn’t someone be coming? Mounted cowboys swinging ropes, or just a couple of fellows moving the herd from the seat of a pickup truck? No one came. No one was in pursuit – and this wasn’t open range land. There were houses every quarter of a mile. Houses and fields and farms and fences. Twilight was settling over the hills. We turned the dogs back toward home and talked about the horses. Neither one of us could make sense of it. Where had they come from? Who did they belong to? I fell hard. A few months later I told my husband I wanted to get a couple of horses. I’m not a stranger to horse ownership. When I was a kid my dad owned a few. And there were many times when I preferred their company over anyone else’s. I groomed them, picked out their hooves, and mucked out their stalls. I rode everyone of them from the ponies to the parade horse standing at nearly 17 hands. It was easy back then. So, my husband and I tight-ened up the wire fences, bought a water trough and pipe and put things in order for a horse or two. We looked at a lot of horses, and struck a deal. Then a paint gelding and a buckskin mare stood in the back field and I was on cloud nine. I groomed and fed and pet-ted and sweet talked them for a few days. Then I went riding. Each was a bit nervous going out. But, I was more nervous still. The entire time I rode I

Utah seeks federal disaster aid SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert has requested a presidential disaster declara-tion to qualify the state for millions of dollars in federal assistance. Herbert says the federal money is needed to help local governments struggling to pay for disaster recovery efforts after spring floods. Estimates show flooding caused more than $12 million in damage statewide. Utah could qualify for as much as $9.5 million in federal assistance. Although the flooding was not as widespread as state emergency managers feared, officials say there was still considerable damage done to agricultural lands throughout Utah. In April, FEMA awarded nearly $11 million in assistance to southern Utah counties and cities damaged during flooding last December. — Associated Press

municator. I also hate the phrase “to be honest with you.” What does that mean? Are you telling my you’re normally dishonest? I’ve known more than one person who can employ the phrase “to be honest with you” right before they tell a lie. And not all of them are teenagers, but all the teenagers I commu-nicate with frequently exclaim, “My bad!” They love to employ this phrase after dropping your cell phone into the spaghetti sauce or totaling the family van. “My bad,” they say again when they flunk a history test or lose the only truck key. I want to use logic and mean-ingful words to explain why their behavior is wrong. They cut me short with, “My bad!” There is something so irritating about kids admitting they’re bad before I have a chance to tell them. And I want to tell them a lot of things. “Get organized.” “Stop fighting.” “Don’t wor-ry about what other people think.” “Don’t blow your nose so loud.” I tell them, but some things aren’t going to change. That nose blower or sensitive soul can’t be transformed no matter how hard I try. “It is what it is.” This is the only cliché that gives me comfort. “It is what it is.” I can’t change it all. We’re just fa-tiguing ourselves trying. Stop struggling to fix everything and laugh more. Life should be joy-ful. Parenting should be fun. So ask yourself occasionally, “Are we having fun yet?”

was scanning the route, avoid-ing gullies and garbage dumps and dogs and noise. After each ride I breathed a sigh of relief to have brought the horses — and myself — home safe. Riding gave me the same kind of anxiety as having an unleashed toddler in a circus crowd. In the stillness of win-ter I cupped the horses’ soft noses with my red mittens and nuzzled them. I looked after their every need. It felt good to be with horses again. It felt right. But good horses need to be ridden to stay good horses — and that was my job. Somehow I’ve grown into a Nervous Nelly. One that’s only comfortable these days with both feet on the ground. And I could not, would not ask

my husband to haul hay year round and pay vet bills for two oversized pets. I fell hard. Most falls don’t usually happen the same way twice. I learned that just because you want something with all your heart and are lucky enough to get it, the time for having it may well be passed. I think that’s true with old loves and old dreams, too. My friend said my horse dream was probably a desire to feel something that had been lost. I think she’s right. But the next time I want to feel a sense of magic, of wonder, of freedom from worries I think I’ll just buy a ticket and experience a movie!

A horse was killed Wednesday after it ran onto U.S. Highway 40 in Ballard and was struck by a Ford Explorer that belongs to Ute Tribe Security. The crash occurred about 11 p.m. near R&R Propane. Roosevelt police officer Emily Chapman said the stretch of road where the crash hap-pened was so dark the driver didn’t have time to brake. He was traveling about 50 mph when he hit the black horse. The two men in the SUV were checked out at the scene by EMTs. They were not taken to the hospital. No citations have been issued, Chapman said.

GEOFF LIESIK, Uintah Basin standard

Feds seek to help tribesaddress substance abuse A new federal framework has been unveiled that is intended to assist American Indian and Alaska Native communities in the prevention, intervention and treatment of alcohol and substance abuse. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the signing of a memorandum of agreement Friday. The MOA was called for in the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, which President Barack Obama signed into law in July 2010. It describes how the Office of Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse established in HHS’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Admin-istration will coordinate tribal substance abuse programs across the federal government with a special emphasis on promoting programs geared toward reaching youth and offering alternatives to incar-ceration. “A truly holistic approach is necessary when addressing

substance abuse in Indian Country because we know that where alcohol and substance abuse are prevalent, public safety concerns are similarly prevalent,” Holder said. “This new office will help further the commitment of the Justice Department and our partner agencies to build and sustain safe, secure and healthy tribal communities.” Sebelius called alcoholism and addiction “among the most severe public health and safety problems facing Ameri-can Indian and Alaska Native people.” “It doesn’t have to be this way,” she said. “With help that is based in the rich Indian culture these conditions, just like other heath conditions, can be successfully prevented and treated.” Salazar added that there is a clear need for the federal gov-ernment to better coordinate and leverage it’s resources to help tribal programs build safe, healthy communities. “This new office will serve as the federal focal point for this

critically important work,” he said. An interdepartmental co-ordinating council will guide the overall direction of the new federal effort to improve its work with tribal communi-ties beginning with determin-ing the scope of the problem — identifying and assessing national, state, tribal and local alcohol and substance abuse programs and resources; and creating standards for pro-grams. “The collaboration among agencies and departments that got us to this announcement today is already paying off,” said Pamela S. Hyde, adminis-trator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. “Our work with tribal com-munities has resulted in a new $50 million budget proposal in 2012 for Tribal Prevention Grants, better understanding of law enforcement and judicial training needs, and serious new work and investments in suicide prevention in Indian country,” Hyde said.

Woman run over at Hilltop tavern,suspected drunken driver arrested

Kyriea J. Cuch

By Geoff LiesikUintah Basin Standard

A fight at a Uintah County bar early Saturday ended with one person being run over by a car in the parking lot outside. Uintah County sheriff’s dep-uties and Bureau of Indian Af-fairs police officers were called to Howdy’s Hilltop Tavern in Fort Duchesne about 1:30 a.m. Saturday on a report of a crash with injuries, according to Uin-

to investigators. Cuch let him out of the car and then drove off, Fletcher said. Officers found Cuch less than two miles away from the tavern. She appeared to be intoxicated and was taken into custody. A breath test adminis-tered at the Uintah County Jail showed a blood-alcohol content of .113, Fletcher said. Cuch was booked for inves-tigation of aggravated assault, driving under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, and driving on a revoked registra-tion. She later posted bail and was released. Navasie was taken to Uin-tah Basin Medical Center and then flown to a Salt Lake area hospital in critical condtion, Fletcher said. No update on her condition was available Monday. Much of what happened inside the bar and outside in the parking lot is still under investigation, Fletcher said.

New federal prosecutor,FBI boss named for Utah SALT LAKE CITY — The FBI’s Salt Lake City Divi-sion has a new special agent in charge and the state could soon have a new U.S. attorney as well. David B. Barlow was nomi-nated by President Barack Obama last Tuesday to serve as the U.S. Attorney for Utah. Barlow has served as the general counsel and chief coun-sel for judiciary for Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, since January. From 2000 to 2010, he worked in private practice at Sidley Austin LLP, first as an associ-ate, then as a partner. Barlow graduated from Brigham Young University in 1995 and Yale Law School in 1998. If confirmed by the Senate, he’ll take over the post from Carlie Christensen, who has been serving as the acting U.S.

Attorney for Utah since Brent Tolman resigned in December 2009. The FBI also announced last week that it had named David J. Johnson as the new special agent in charge of the bureau’s Salt Lake City divi-sion. In his new role, Johnson will supervise FBI offices in Idaho, Montana and Utah. Johnson has been chief of the violent crimes section in the Criminal Investigation Division since 2009. He has been responsible for managing programs that involve federal violations such as bank rob-beries, kidnappings and crimes against children. Johnson started his career with the FBI in 1999 in San Jose, Calif. He was assigned to the high-tech squad and was the agent on a complex theft case that became the first prosecuted under the economic espionage classification. He also developed the Inno-cence Lost National Initiative as chief of the Crimes Against Children unit to assist in locat-ing registered sex offenders. Johnson replaces James McTighe, who retired from the FBI in May after 30 years with the bureau. The FBI and the U.S. At-torney’s Office for Utah have primary jurisdiction to inves-tigate and prosecute felony offenses committed on Indian reservations in the state. — Associated Press

DeChristopher attorneys planto appeal his conviction SALT LAKE CITY — Attor-neys for Tim DeChristopher are appealing his conviction and two-year prison sentence. The environmental activ-ist was convicted of federal charges for derailing a BLM oil and gas lease auction on public land. His attorneys filed a notice of appeal last Monday in Salt Lake City’s U.S. District Court. The document says an ap-peal will be filed with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. DeChristopher was con-victed in March of two felony counts for interfering with and making false representations at a government auction. He ran up $1.8 million in false bids on parcels near Arches and Can-yonlands national parks and Dinosaur National Monument. He maintains his bids were an act of civil disobedience. Late last month, a federal judge sentenced DeChristopher to two years prison, three years of probation and a $10,000 fine. — Associated Press

Unoccupied truck crashes into river A Myton woman and two children escaped serious injury last week after a crash that left a pickup truck the woman was towing upside down in the Duchesne River. Dominque Grable, 25, was hauling the truck on a flatbed trailer about 3 p.m. last Mon-day when the trailer began to fishtail, according to Utah Highway Patrol trooper Seth Spencer. That caused Grable to lose control of her pickup truck and it overturned on the bridge that spans the river in Myton, the trooper said. The truck being hauled came off the trailer, vaulted over the bridge’s concrete barrier and into the river. Grable and two children were all wearing seat belts. They were taken to Uintah Basin Medical Center where they were treated for minor injuries and released.

Check out park passes available at the libraryBy Kevin AshbyVernal Express

The Uintah County Library — as part of its ongoing effort to become more of a community resource center — now allows patrons to check out a Utah State Parks pass. The new opportunity comes on the heels of last year’s pilot program where Utah State Parks officials offered libraries a single pass for check out. “It was widely successful here,” Uintah County Library Director Sam Passey said. “We had 40 families check it out for one week at a time, so that pretty much covered the entire year.” The library is looking to pro-vide even more opportunities for people to “experience life” more fully and will add more passes if the demand for this type of experience increases,

Passey said. “We are wanting to be more than just a library, but in the past it was space that limited us on what we could offer,” he said. “And soon we will have more space and therefore the opportunity to add to our ser-vices.” Passey defined a community resource center as a “library-plus” facility. He and his staff are still working out the details of what the “plus” will repre-sent. “We have a good tradition at the library that we want to continue, but we can do more,” Passey said. Ideas include literacy bags for homeschoolers, teachers and families to check out that include a variety of books, puz-zles, videos and other things. Passey also wants to share technical help with patrons who want information about

e-books. The staff is even looking at other family or individual passes that could include ac-cess to the Dinosaur National Monument or the Uintah Com-munity Center in Vernal. Already the library offers a variety of community interest

classes, like the Grocery Smarts Coupon Class set for tonight, Aug. 10, that will discuss if shopping with coupons is worth the time. More information about programs at the library can be found at www.uintah.lib.ut.us.

By CJ McManusSun Advocate

With spot-on vocal harmony and a true talent for original material, Blue Saige blew away local audiences and judges at the Texaco Country Showdown in Price. The July 29 win ensures the Duchesne County group a chance to compete at the Utah State Final, moving the trio of Mondi Taylor, Mindee Zager, Deanne Quick one step closer to their musical dreams and a $100,000 payday. “A love for music brought us together,” explained Deanne, during a post showdown inter-view with the Sun Advocate. “There is no main vocalist, we all bring something to the dynamics of this group and that makes us special.” Longtime friends Taylor and Quick got the idea to form a music group with their new buddy Zager when all three women were sang at a funeral. As luck would have it, last year’s showdown was right around the corner and the new trio put together some songs over the course of a week and signed up for the competition in Vernal. “We didn’t even place last year,” Taylor said. “But we re-ally did learn a lot. That first experience in Vernal showed us that we were on the right track with both our singing and songwriting.” In addition to great vocal harmonies, all three women play guitar, something that gives Blue Saige an earthy, down home quality found in wildly successful groups like The Band Perry and The Dixie Chicks. “We all just really love mu-sic,” Quick said. While the women would not discuss their ages, it’s apparent that this is an eclectic group of women sitting at very different stops along life’s train ride. Taylor has raised four children and owns a boom-

Blue Saige wins showdowning construction company in the Uintah Basin. She will hunt anything and loves the outdoors. With a swagger and smile, she appears to be the wild child of this trio. Zager on the other hand has three children and wouldn’t be caught dead in hunter orange. She teaches dance in the Vernal and Duchesne areas and seems to be the most softhearted of the three. The group has no leader, but Quick exudes the wisdom of a matriarch, having raised eight children before joining Blue Saige. She seems to mother her bandmates just a little and works as a hospice nurse in Duchesne County; work that has become a vital part of the trio’s success. “We take the time to go out and sing to everyone of my hospice patients before they pass,” she said. “It’s a small

gift, but one that works both ways. They seem to enjoy the music very much and means a great deal to us to deliver some joy during a difficult time.” All three members of Blue Saige raised their families before getting involved with the group and because of that they all now have the necessary time to dedicate themselves to their music; something they all say might be impossible with a home full of children. “All we do is work and play music,” said Taylor, with a glowing smile. “We finally have the time to play.” And the trio of Blue Saige is making that time count. This year they came in second at the Vernal showdown before winning in Price. They will play Friday at the Duchesne County Fair and plan to release their first CD in the next month.

Manila receives $80,000from CIB for fire station The state Community Im-pact Board suspended the rules of its regularly scheduled proj-ect review meeting Thursday to approve an additional funding request of $80,000 for Manila’s new fire station. The town of Manila origi-nally requested and received $638,000 for the project on Jan. 11. The funds were approved as a $319,000 zero-percent inter-est loan to be paid in 30 years and a $319,000 grant. Thursday’s additional funds were approved as a $40,000 zero-percent interest loan to be paid in 30 years and a $40,000 grant. The two requests will be combined into a single financing package totaling $718,000. The new financing will be structured as a $359,000 zero-percent interest loan to be paid in 30 years and a $359,000 grant. “The town of Manila has built up its existing firefighting suppression equipment and vehicles for the safety of both Manila and Daggett County residents,” said Duchesne County Commissioner Kent Peatross, who represents the Uintah Basin Association of Governments on the CIB. “This fire station will serve an estimated 1,200 square miles in Daggett County,” Peatross said. “The nearest fire station to Manila is 50 miles away.” The Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns and counties impacted by mining and the extraction of oil and gas on federal land. Projects funded by the CIB are intended to benefit rural Utah by creating safer, more livable communities.

Members of Blue Saige accept the first place honors of the Texaco Country Showdown held in Price on July 29. This win ensures the Duchesne County group consisting of Mondi Taylor, Mindee Zager, and Deanne Quick a chance to compete at the Utah State Fair finals which is one step closer to their musical dreams and a $100,000 payday.

U.S. Forest Service – Ashley National For-est Duchesne Ranger Dis-trict, Duchesne County, Utah Rhoades Canal Diver-sion Structure We are seeking your input on the proposed Rhoades canal diversion structure replacement project. The diversion structure is located ap-proximately 4 miles northwest of Hanna, Utah in Duchesne County in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of section 7, T. 1 N., R. 8 W., USM. The canal diverts irrigation water from the North Fork Duchesne River. The Duchesne County Water Conservancy Dis-trict, acting on behalf of the Rhoades Canal Co. proposes to remove the existing diversion struc-ture and replace it with a new structure. The exist-ing structure is eroded and in need of replacement. During low flows, the structure creates a barrier to upstream migrating fish. The new structure will incorporate a fish pas-sage, which is intended to provide better aquatic habitat. The new structure will also improve the

distribution of water into the canal where the flow can be maintained without a loss, which is presently occurring due to cracks and holes in the structure. The new structure is generally the same size as the existing structure and will be constructed within the existing footprint. The new structure will not divert any more water than what has histori-cally been diverted. This project is time sensitive and would occur after the irrigation season has ended in September, and would be scheduled for completion by December, weather allowing. Large rock and riprap will be placed in the river downstream of the new structure to help facilitate the movement of fish and to protect the stream banks from erosion. The rock will be taken from an approved existing quarry located approximately 6 miles north of the project area and hauled to the site along forest road 144. The approved rock quarry is located in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of section 22, T. 2 N., R. 9 W., USM. We are accepting pub-lic comments on this proposal. Comments would be most useful if received prior to August 17th. By commenting

now you can make your concerns known prior to a decision being made by the Responsible Official. Comments may be sent to: Gina Reese, Realty Specialist, 355 North Ver-nal Avenue, Vernal, Utah, 84078.

Emergency Management of-ficials in Daggett, Duchesne and Uintah Counties want citizens to realize the importance of the CodeRED emergency warning system and be ready for a system “all-call”. CodeRED is a high-speed

telephone emergency notifica-tion service. The CodeRED system gives officials in the three Counties the ability to deliver pre-recorded emergency tele-phone notification/information messages to targeted areas at a rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour. Emergency Management of-ficials caution that such systems are only as good as the telephone database supporting them, “If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be called”. The CodeRED system gives indi-viduals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers directly to the system’s telephone database. In readiness for an exercise of

the system featuring an “all-call” at the end of January 2010, and to ensure no one is omitted, we urge all individuals and busi-nesses to log onto their County’s website and follow the link to the “CodeRED Residential and Business Data Collection” page. Those without Internet access may call their local Emergency Manager for help to give their information over the phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, and zip code, and pri-mary phone number. Additional phone numbers are optional. No one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included. All businesses should register, as well as all individuals

By Mark WilliaMsAP Energy Writer An unlikely source of energy has emerged to meet interna-tional demands that the United States do more to fight global warming: It’s cleaner than coal, cheaper than oil and a 90-year supply is under our feet. It’s natural gas, the same fossil fuel that was in such short supply a decade ago that it was deemed unreliable. It’s now be-ing uncovered at such a rapid pace that its price is near a seven-year low. Long used to heat half the nation’s homes, it’s becoming the fuel of choice when building new power plants. Someday, it may win wider acceptance as a replacement for gasoline in our cars and trucks. Natural gas’ abundance and

low price come as governments around the world debate how to curtail carbon dioxide and other pollution that contribute to global warming. The likely outcome is a tax on companies that spew excessive greenhouse gases. Utilities and other compa-nies see natural gas as a way to lower emissions _ and their costs. Yet politicians aren’t stumping for it. In June, President Barack Obama lumped natural gas with oil and coal as energy sources the nation must move away from. He touts alternative sources such as solar, wind and biofuels derived from corn and other plants. In

After more than a year of hard work, a landmark agreement protecting cultural resources while permitting orderly and environmentally responsible natural gas development on the West Tavaputs Plateau near Nine Mile Canyon will be finalized with a signing ceremony at the State Capitol,G o l d R o o m o n J a n . 5 , 2 0 1 0 a t 1 : 0 0 p . m . Primary signatories for this historic Programmatic Agree-ment (PA) include the Bureau of Land Management, the Utah State Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, Car-bon and Duchesne Counties, and the West Tavaputs gas development project propo-nent Bill Barrett Corporation.

Chapel dediCationThe chapel dedication for the new Ashley 1st and 2nd wards is set for Saturday at 6:00 p.m. The new chapel is located 1 mile north

on North Vernal Avenue. The building is considerred a three ward building by the LDS church, but will not be at capacity at present

time.

All-Call scheduled for CodeRED Emergency Notification Systemwho have unlisted phone num-bers, who have changed their phone number or address within the last year, and who use a cellular phone as their primary home phone. The CodeRED system is a

geographical based notification system, which means street addresses are needed to select which phone numbers will re-ceive emergency notification calls in a given situation. The system works fine for cell phones too, but there needs to be a street ad-dress. People who have recently moved but kept the same listed or unlisted phone number also need to change their address in the database. Some things that CodeRED

can help to notify citizens of are Natural Disasters such as floods, mudslides, winter weather, and dangerous water conditions, missing people, such as children, the disabled, or elderly, hazard-ous materials incidents or gas leaks, public works notifications such as road closures or planned power outages, dam breaches and evacuation notices and routes. CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for doing so. The information will only be used for emergency notification purposes. Questions should be directed to the County Emergency Manage-ment Office.Uintah County: 152 East 100

These parties col-laborated to create an agreement that promotes environmental responsible and balanced en-ergy development while pro-tecting the area’s abundantcultural resources. The result-ing agreement addresses other project development issues, in-cluding dust raised by increased vehicle traffic and possible visual and auditory impacts associ-ated with energy development. Moreover, the agreement will benefit the public by providing for the enhancement and inter-pretation of key archaeological

sites in Nine Mile Canyon. “The rock art and archaeo-logical sites on the West Tava-puts Plateau are everyone’s heritage. They are priceless,” said Wilson Martin, State Historic Preservation Officer. According to Lori Hunsaker, Deputy State Historic Preser-vation Officer, “When cultural resource issues arise in the fu-ture, we can sit down together with the expectation that we can find a way to protect the cultural resources—and at the same time develop the energy resources.” For more information on this historic agreement or the recent listing of Nine Mile Canyon on the National Reg-ister, please contact Megan Crandall at (801)539-4061.

Gas could be the cavalry in global warming fight

Congress, the energy debate has focused on finding cleaner coal and saving thousands of mining jobs from West Virginia to Utah. Utilities in the U.S. aren’t

waiting for Washington to jump on the gas bandwagon. Looming climate legislation has altered the calculus that they use to determine the cheapest way to deliver power. Coal may still be cheaper, but natural gas emits half as much carbon when burned to generate the same amount electricity. Today, about 27 percent of

the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions come from coal-fired power plants, which generate 44 percent of the electricity used in the U.S. Just under 25 percent of power comes from burning natural gas, more than double its share a decade ago but still with room to grow. But the fuel has to be plenti-

ful and its price stable and that has not always been the case with natural gas. In the 1990s, factories that wanted to burn gas instead of coal had to install equipment that did both because the gas supply was uncertain and wild price swings were com-mon. In some states, because of feared shortages, homebuilders were told new gas hookups were banned. It’s a different story today.

Energy experts believe that the huge volume of supply now will ease price swings and supply

worries. Gas now trades on futures markets for about $5.50 per 1,000 cubic feet. While that’s up from a recent low of $2.41 in September as the recession reduced demand and storage caverns filled to overflowing, it’s less than half what it was in the summer of 2008 when oil prices surged close to $150 a barrel. Oil and gas prices trends have since diverged, due to the recession and the growing re-alization of just how much gas has been discovered in the last three years. That’s thanks to the introduction of horizontal drilling technology that has un-locked stunning amounts of gas in what were before off-limits shale formations. Estimates of total gas reserves have jumped 58 percent from 2004 to 2008, giving the U.S. a 90-year supply at the current usage rate of about 23 trillion cubic feet of year. The only question is whether enough gas can be delivered at af-fordable enough prices for these trends to accelerate. The world’s largest oil com-

pany, Exxon Mobil Corp., gave its answer last Monday when it announced a $30 billion deal to acquire XTO Energy Inc. The move will make it the country’s No. 1 producer of natural gas. Exxon expects to be able to dramatically boost natural gas sales to electric utilities. In fact, CEO Rex Tillerson says that’s

why the deal is such a smart investment. Tillerson says he sees de-

mand for natural gas growing 50 percent by 2030, much of it for electricity generation and running factories. Decisions be-ing made by executives at power companies lend credence to that forecast. Consider Progress Energy

Inc., which scrapped a $2 billion plan this month to add scrubbers needed to reduce sulfur emmis-sions at four older coal-fired power plants in North Carolina. Instead, it will phase out those plants and redirect a portion of those funds toward cleaner burn-ing gas-fired plants. Lloyd Yates, CEO of Progess

Energy Carolina, says planners were 99 percent certain that retrofitting plants made sense when they began a review late last year. But then gas prices began falling and the recession prompted gas-turbine makers to slash prices just as global warm-ing pressures intesified. “Everyone saw it pretty quickly,” he says. Out went coal, in comes gas. “The environmen-tal component of coal is where we see instability.”

Nevada power company NV Energy Inc. canceled plans for a $5 billion coal-fired plant early this year. That came after its homestate senator, Major-ity Leader Harry Reid, made it clear he would fight to block its approval, and executives’ fears mounted about the costs of meeting future environmental rules. “It was obvious to us that Congress or the EPA or both were going to act to reduce carbon emissions,” said CEO Michael Yackira, whose utilty already gets two-thirds of its electricity from gas-fired units. “Without understanding the economic ramifications, it would have been foolish for us to go forward.” Even with an expected jump in demand from utilities, gas prices won’t rise much beyond $6.50 per 1,000 cubic feet for years to come, says Ken Medlock, an en-ergy fellow at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston. That tracks an Energy Department estimate made last week. Such forecasts are based in part on a belief that the recent spurt in gas discoveries may only be the start of a golden age for gas

drillers _ one that creates wealth that rivals the so-called Gusher Age of the early 20th century, when strikes in Texas created a new class of oil barons. XTO, the company that Exxon is buying, was one of the pio-neers in developing new drilling technologies that allow a single well to descend 9,000 feet and then bore horizontally through shale formations up to 11/2 miles away. Water, sand and chemical additives are pumped through these pipes to unlock trillions of cubic feet of natural gas that until recently had been judged unobtainable. Even with the big increases

in reserves they were logging, expansion plans by XTO and its rivals were limited by the debt they took on to finance these projects that can cost as much as $3 million apiece. Under Exxon, which earned

$45.2 billion last year, that bar-rier has been obliterated. Daniel Yergin, a Pulitzer Prize winning author and chairman of IHS CERA, an energy consul-tancy stated “This is domestic energy ... it’s low carbon, it’s low cost and it’s abundant. When you add it up, it’s revolutionary.”

LEGALNOTICE

Reauthorization of Recreation Livestock grazing on the Grandaddy Basin, Squaw Basin, and East Basin Allotments. Decision Notice U.S. Forest Service Ashley National For-est, Duchesne-Roosevelt Ranger District Duchesne County, Utah Grandaddy Basin, Squaw Basin, and East Basin recreational live-stock allotments are lo-cated in the High Uinta Wilderness area. The project area consists of 34,066 acres with 3,778 acres useful for grazing. Grandaddy Basin is the most highly used trailhead entrance into the High Uinta Wilderness area consisting of 19,982 acres with 1,469 acres useful for livestock grazing. The most popular lakes in this

drainage are Grandaddy Lake, Betsy, Mohawk, and Fish Hatchery Lakes which receive high recre-ational use. Squaw Basin con-sists of 9,921 acres with 2,054 acres useful for livestock grazing. East Fork Squaw Basin Creek and Shamrock, Squaw and Rock Lakes are the primary water resources for the allotment. East Basin consists of 4,163 acres with 255 acres use-ful for livestock grazing. Horseshoe Lake, Picture Lake, Three Lakes and East Basin Creek are the popular waters contain-ing fisheries. This basin receives little recreation use because of its long distance from the trail-heads. I have decided to im-plement Alternative 1 (the Proposed Action) which reauthorizes recreational livestock grazing on the Grandaddy Basin, Squaw Basin, and East Basin recreational livestock allotments on the Ashley National Forest. This alternative will continue with current management practices and allow recreational livestock use on the al-lotment. This alterna-tive meets requirements outlined in the Ashley National Forest, Forest Plan, and maintains de-sired condition or helps move the project area towards desired condi-tions. Prescriptions of the management areas allow permitted livestock grazing. Also, standards

and guidelines for the management areas in-clude protection of ripar-ian, wildlife, and other values. This decision was made after careful con-sideration of the proposal, public comments, ForestService specialist reports, Forest Plan direction and the best available science. Since no substantive comments expressing concerns were received during the 30 day com-ment period this decision is not subject to ap-peal pursuant to 36 CFR 215.12. Implementation of this decision may occur on but not before five business days from the date of signing this document.

Peterson put a ball deep into left field that was caught by a Vernal outfielder. However, Beauerle scored to tie up the game at 3-3. A few minutes later Von Collins singled in Quarnberg with Ogden’s first lead of the contest at 4-3. Udy doubled, but two runners were stranded on the base paths after Collingwood flew out. The pitcher from Ogden struck out Vernal’s first two batters Johnson and Shiflett in the bottom of the fourth and then Murray singled. Ogden’s second baseman made a good play to end the inning. Ogden added three more runs in the top of the fifth for a 6-3 lead and Murray made a super play to keep Ogden from pocketing two more counters. Tracy singled up the middle, Baird was walked and McFarland singled in Tracy and Baird for a 6-3 lead. Phelps was walked, but Murray settled down with back-to-back strikeouts of Clemens and Pe-terson. Von Collins hit a shot to the pitcher, Murray, who fell down, but recovered quickly and made a throw to first base to end the inning and saved some runs.

Smuin reached on a fielder’s choice, but Rich grounded out at first and Smuin was forced at second for a double play. Mansfield got on base on an error to lead off the bottom of the sixth. Braden Olsen singled and a balk ad-vanced runners to second and third. Canet struck out and then Murray flew out and the runner at third was out for a double play. Adam Labrum led off Ver-nal’s last hopes with a walk in the bottom of the seventh and B. Coonis singled. Ryan Smuin hit a shot over the center field-er’s head. However, Labrum was tagged out at home and Coonis was out on his return trip to third base for Ogden’s third double play. Ogden scored three runs in both the sixth and seventh in-nings to take a 12-3 win over Vernal. Two runs were scored on walks in a bases-loaded-sixth for a 9-3 edge. Baird, McFarland singled in runs and a poor throw on a bunt allowed McFarland to produce Ogden’s final run. Members of the Vernal team are Johnny Thompson, Rob-bie Coonis, Brennen Johnson, Braxton Coonis, Max Mans-field, Garrett Canet, Stetson Thompson, Brent Shiflett, Xander Coonis, Jayden Murray, Garrett Rich, Adam Labrum, Ryan Smuin, Tyler Young, Branden Olsen and Kyler Shi-flett.

Fish With A Head

Whenever I pass through Current Creek area on my way to Salt Lake City I think of the now torn down Current Creek Cafe. The area was famous for its rainbow trout that were usu-ally caught by fishermen, but if you were hungry or didn’t have a fishing license a trout dinner was available at the Current Creek Cafe. Usually when my parents and I journeyed to Salt Lake City we would wait and have a meal in Salt Lake City. How-ever, on one trip I talked my parents into stopping at Cur-rent Creek Cafe. I ordered a rainbow trout dinner and when the meal arrived the head was still at-tached and my food was staring at me. It made me feel kind of sad, but I didn’t feel guilty. I simply removed its head so that it couldn’t look at me while I was enjoying my dinner.

People Getting In The way

I went to the Days of ‘47 Rodeo in Salt Lake City last month and I had a front row seat, but a photographer and his wife (they took turns us-ing the camera) shot pictures it seemed of everyone entered in the rodeo. They blocked my view of the action. I didn’t complain because I’m a photographer and picture takers don’t tell other photog-raphers to get out of the way. I just can’t pick on a fellow photo taker. His wife didn’t get my hint when I told her that she didn’t need to do all that jumping around and could sit still and “let the broncs and bulls come to her.” I am surprised that they didn’t jump into the arena and get some “real close-up photos.” Every time someone had a good ride, the guy shooting pictures did a “hip hip horray” better than any former cheerleader.

Rex Berry My Hero

Rex Berry, who was known as the Carbon Comet in the 1940s, played football for Brigham Young University and later on for the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers years before Joe Montana and Steve Young of Super Bowl fame. Berry was also a pitcher along with my uncle Eldon Rachele in 1939. They both teamed up for a 2-0 shutout of Smithfield in an American Legion ball game. Berry was over 80-years-old and didn’t mind me talking to him on the phone (his phone number in Provo wasn’t un-listed). He said, “You’re uncle had a ‘heck’ of a fastball, but

was a bit on the wild side.” Most former sports stars might have screamed “how did you get my phone number?” Berry was ‘too nice’ of a guy to get ticked off at a fan/re-porter. I interviewed Mickey Mantle years earlier and he was grumpy until I said, “My dad taught me how to play baseball - tell me about how your dad did the same.” He smiled at me and turned into a nice guy (I often dreamed of going to New York City to see the ex-Yankee Mantle in person. I met Mantle instead in Vernal in 1975 and made sure he wasn’t a grouch, which was tough job).

‘Rassling’ Matches

I have enjoyed watching pro wrestling over the years. My grandpa Salvatore Rachele got me started in the mat sport in the 1960s with matches between a Utah wrestler and a German matman who wore a spiked helmet. I would tell him that pro wrestling was fake and he would look at me as if I had said something stupid and say, “It is no fake - they hurts one another!” KSL-TV would broadcast pro wrestling matches from Social Hall Avenue where KSL was located at the time in the 1960s. Tom Bradshaw, KSL’s Weatherman, broadcast the

bouts and would often join in the action on the mat. There was a local wrestler in Roger Mackay, who was a Granite High School graduate. He had a jaw that was like a rock. The Swedish Angel was also a popular Utah matman. He later on lived in Myton, Utah. He was so ugly that I would swear I saw him scaring Dracula, Frankenstein’s mon-ster and the Wolfman plus the Mummy as well as the Creature from the Black Lagoon on TV’s Nightmare Theater. Another wrestler I enjoyed watching was Baron Von Raiske, who would force his opponent to quit a contest with “The Claw.” Von Raiske claimed he was from Germany (actually from Omaha, Nebraska) and would leave his matches by doing the famous Nazi “Goose Step” walk. He would end his inter-views by saying, “Dat is all da people need to know!” Von Raiske (real name Jim Raiske) has a website where you can buy “The Claw” t-shirt (worn by an unhappy looking non-athletic guy), autographed photos and action figures (choice of bloody or non-bloody). He is also available for personal appearances (sounds like a nice birthday present - beats a tie). In the off season the pro wrestler Raiske is a substitute teacher. I bet Mr. Raiske doesn’t have any problems getting students to behave. They don’t want to be introduced to his best friend - “The Claw!

First the good news - Vernal’s 14-year-old all-stars led 3-0 af-ter one inning in a first round game in the Pacific Southwest Regionals in Vernal vs. Ogden’s team on Tuesday evening. Now the bad news - Ogden rallied behind a defense that produced several double plays and an offense that slugged key hits to beat Vernal 12-3. In other first round games the Southern California team (El Segundo in Los Angeles County) beat Mur-ray, 10-0; Arizona defeated Ne-vada and Northern California beat Central California.Teams

Jayden Murray of Vernal hopes that he doesn’t fall down while pitching the baseball. Murray struck out several batters and made a fine defensive play in a game vs. Ogden in the first round of the Pacific Southwest Regionals in Vernal last week.

Vernal’s Braxton Coonis (right) beats the baseball to the plate. The Ogden catcher waits to pocket the ball and keeps any more runs from scoring.

Vernal’s catcher Shiflett works on putting the ball into play on a bunt. Vernal scored three runs in the first inning for a 3-0 lead in a regional game vs. Ogden.

Vernal takes early lead, but Ogden rallies for winfrom Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California competed in the meet in Vernal. Vernal got busy with the bats as all its runs - three - be-ing scored in the bottom of the first inning. Shiflett led off with a walk and moved to second base on a shot into right field by Jayden Murray, who was also Vernal’s starting pitcher. Brax-ton Coonis ripped out a double and moved to third base on a play at home plate by Ogden. Sheflett and Murray scored for a 2-0 Vernal lead. The Vernal team wasn’t done as Coonis just beat a throw to home plate after a ground out at first base by

Stetson Thompson for a Vernal advantage of 3-0. Garrett Rich continued the hot Vernal attack with a double, but was stranded when Max Mansfield struck out to end the inning. Vernal’s Murray worked a quick top of the second by getting Carter Baird to pop up, and struck out Darius McFarland, but after a single by Chase Beauerle the inning ended on a fly ball out by Troy Quarnberg. Brennen Johnson singled into left field in the bottom of the second for Vernal and Shiflett was walked. Murray flew out, but Tyler Young hit a blooper just over the head of

the Ogden pitcher and out of the reach of the team’s second baseman. Ogden’s pitcher solved the bases-loaded jam by whiffing the final Vernal batter Coonis to get out of the inning. Jayden Peterson of Ogden led off the top of the third with a single, but Vernal’s hurler Murray went one-two-three as he struck out Von Collins and chopped down Braiden

Collingwood and Conner Udy on fly ball outs to shutout the Ogden squad. Vernal’s Garrett Rich was in the right place to nab a hot missile by Udy for an out. Vernal had a base runner in the top of the third when an error placed Mansfield on base on an error by Ogden. However, Mansfield was forced at second base on a ball hit by Canet. The Vernal team lost its lead

when Ogden scored four runs in the top of fourth for a 4-3 edge.Kole Tracy led off with a single and Baird was hit by the pitcher, Murray, who then struck out McFarland. Beauerle hit a shot close to the fence that the Ver-nal right fielder dropped with Tracy scoring Ogden’s first run. The right fielder made a fine play just to get in position

About 30 girls are out for soccer according to Union High School coach LoaKay Bow-thorpe. The squad had its first week of practice. Last year’s soccer team won its first playoff game vs. Manti in a shootout after overtime. Union lost to Juan Diego in a quarterfinals match. “We have been doing basic skills and taking part in a morn-ing clinic that is being taught by three soccer players from Wales in England,” she said. “In the afternoon we do drills and scrimmage to get ready for the first week of the season.” Union will play Morgan on Wednesday, Aug. 10 and will host Carbon in their first home match on Friday, Aug. 12. The match will start at 4 p.m. in Roosevelt.
