The Uintah Conference Center was packed with the family and friends of UBTech’s 2019 Graduating Class May 1. “It was good,” says Candy Rendon, a practical nursing graduate. “It was really hard and intense. I’ve already applied to Uintah Basin Medical Center in Roosevelt. I get to be a nurse. It’s what I want. I’ve found that I want to give people as much dignity as I can when they’re ill.” Rendon was one of 464 graduates to receive their technical training certificates on Wednesday. Some even received more than one, like McKinlee Thacker, UBTech Student of the Year. She walked away with certificates in Automotive Maintenance, Light Repair, Welding, and her CDL.

Bid for Anadarko acquisition heats up Story By Derek Hop- shares of Chevron and $16.25 and stock. The previous offer, per dhopper@ubmedia.biz
Interest and bidding for the acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum intensified this week as Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO Berkshire Hathaway committed $10 billion to Occidental Petroleum, contingent upon the company completing its acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. On Monday, April 29, it appeared an agreement was in place for Chevron to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation in a stock and cash transaction valued at $33 billion. With the terms of the agreement as follows, Anadarko shareholders would receive 0.3869
in cash for each Anadarko share. The total enterprise value of the transaction is $50 billion. After it appeared that Occidental Petroleum had bowed out of the negotiations. However, according to multiple reports, Occidental is back in the fray with negotiations ongoing. The latest offer from Occidental for Anadarko pushes the stock price to $76 per share, or $38 billion at a split 50-50 between cash
made on April 11, included a $76 per share bid, with a split 40-60 between cash and stock. Based in Houston, Texas, Occidental is one of the largest oil and gas exploration companies in the U.S. This is Occidentals third attempt at acquiring Anadarko since March, with the offer strengthened by the backing of Berkshire Funding. On April 12, Anadarko

The White House Academy is continuing to learn from Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”
Story By Alli Morton This last week they discussed synergy. Christy, a White House student described synergy as “if we work together then we will get things more accomplished than if we work alone.” The students at White House have been practicing to see synergy every day and apply teamwork to their own lives. Students shared several examples of synergy involving a flock of geese. “[Synergy is like] when geese fly in formation, that if the back geese honk to encourage the front geese to keep on going,” said James, a student at White House. “We should encourage other people to do good [like the geese].” Class member Pratt added, “Another one with the geese is if one falls out of formation or gets sick then two more will come with it and stay with it until it dies or gets better, then they will make a new formation.” “If one goose falls out of formation then maybe it feels the resistance and if they all work together and like break the wind and make it easier for all the other geese to fly, they can fly 71% farther,” further
explained Gavin, another White House student. Many other students also shared examples of synergy that they had seen in society or thought of on their own. “For example, if one worker is working to build a house it would take him three years but if five people from different companies work together they can build it in just a few months,” contributed Joshua, “[Also] If there’s a forest fire, for one man it would take forever for one man to put it out and by the time he does it would cause too much damage. But if a fireman team shows up they can put it out in just a matter of hours and save the property.” Other students gave practical ways synergy can be demonstrated in the home. “If you have wheat and flour and some oil, yeast and bananas, by themselves they are just ingredients but if you put them together you can make banana bread,” shared Abilla, “By themselves, they are just themselves but if you put them together they are greater.” Paisley said, “Sometimes me and my brother will do our chores together and we SEE WHITE HOUSE on Page 9

Some students have jobs lined up already, some are continuing with the stackable degree program at USU. All of them now have both the theoretical and practical skills to be successful in their chosen careers, thanks to UBTech’s hands-on teach-
ing style. They graduate with real-life experience, and will no doubt go on to accomplish great things. “The next step after getting an education is to go out and help others with it,” advises Pyfer, one of the many 2019 graduates. She points out that people with great careers have more time, more skill, and the means to make a difference in the world around them. “Be brave and find ways that you can serve,” Pyfer added.

Further details show that Buffett would receive 100,000 shares of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, with a liquidation value of $100,000 per share and 8% annual dividend. The offer allows Buffett to redeem the shares for cash at the option of Occidental in at least 10 years for 105% of the liquidation price, in addition to dividends. He would also receive warrants to purchase up to 80 million shares of common

They agree that success can best be reached through the application of this concept of teamwork. “[If we use synergy] Then everyone will be working together and everybody will be able to get what they want,” Joshua suggested. “It would help create a better place because everyone would be working together instead of fighting each other.” Mrs. Ray’s class at White House Academy

According to Fortune magazine, the expiration date for the warrants is up to one year after Berkshire redeems the preferred stock. “We have long believed that Occidental is uniquely positioned to generate compelling value from Anadarko’s highly complementary asset portfolio. We are thrilled to have Berkshire Hathaway’s financial support of this exciting opportunity,” Occidental CEO and President Vicki Hollub said in a statement. “We look forward to engaging with Anadarko’s board of directors to deliver this superior transaction to our respective shareholders.” Information for this story obtained from Fortune magazine.

Ramsey Hill Exploration, a company based in River Falls, Wisconsin, recently purchased property and is planning to mine frac sand west of Highway 191 about five miles north of Vernal. The company received a business license from Uintah County on April 29, and is working toward completing the requirements of a conditional use permit (CUP) overseen by Uintah County Community Development office. A road connecting Highway 191 with the company’s property was opened in mid-April. The company intends to widen 191 and create turn lanes to accommodate truck traffic. The conditional use permit expires in April 2029 and requires a mitigation plan to remediate the site. Ramsey Hill owns the property where they intend to mine and therefore was not required to meet all of the conditions of the conditional use permit prior to the onset of construction, according to Uintah County Planner, Ross Watkins. Frac sand, also known as proppant, is used in the oil and gas industry to help open underground rock fractures, allowing oil and natural gas to flow from wells. It is pumped into wells with water and other fluids under high pressure. The Uintah County Planning Commission granted Ramsey Hill a height exemption for a 50foot tall secondary screen tower, four 88-foot tall silos and one 125-foot tall tower.
Lighting and blasting are also regulated under the CUP. All lights must point down and none can be mounted higher than 25-feet above the ground. Blasting will not be required between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. There were no public comments received during a hearing held February 20 when the height exemptions for the silos were approved. The Planning Commission approved the exemption by a 5-1 vote. However, several nearby property owners called or submitted letters of concern, according to a resolution from the Uintah County Community Development Office. Their concerns included water availability, dust, noise, engine brakes, street access, environmental mitigation, chemical contamination of groundwater, connection to the power grid as opposed to diesel generators, increased traffic and access to Highway 191. UB Media also received a call from a nearby landowner who was reluctant to speak on the record but voiced concerns about traffic accidents, wildlife collisions on Highway 191 and that Highway 191 is part of the Flaming Gorge Scenic Byway. Construction to date has created a road up a steep slope that is visible from Highway 191. Ramsey Hill intends to create a deeper cut where the new road exists to allow semi-truck access to the mine site. However, Watkins said the mine site, along with the silos will be located on the other side of the ridge and be out of view of the highway.
