RYAN COLLINS, UBMEDIA.BIZ

A view of the Petroteq oil sands extraction facility on Bonanza Highway. The facility is capable of producing 1,000 barels of oil a day. Production is scheduled to start on August 1, with the facility working its way up to full production.

by Ryan Collins rcollins@ubmedia.biz

The flag at the top of the Petroteq facility on Bonanza Highway sits motionless. It’s one of those famous Utah summer days where the heat slowly cascades over Asphalt Ridge. Crew members are putting the finishing touches on their two week continuity testing process before they go into production in August.

Chief Executive Officer, David Sealock, gives a detailed tour of the facility, explaining the finer nuances that make the facility unique and unlike any oil sands facility in the world. This particular facility uses no water and eliminates 99 percent of all hydrocarbons.

The company’s proprietary extraction process produces zero greenhouse gas and zero waste.

Everything at the facility and mine is done with an emphasis of leaving a small footprint, Sealock said.

Last month, Petroteq unveiled their new Asphalt Ridge oil extraction facility, culminating a two year process for the company. The new plant has the possibility to revolutionize oil sand extraction with its patented technology.

The new facility was part of the original vision of the company, to relocate, reassemble and upgrade its plant to integrate facility improvements of all major process systems and increase its operational capacity to an expected 1,000

barrels per day (bod), according to a recent press release.

“This event at the plant was a culmination of two years of hard work by our entire team and getting back into production is a tremendous accomplishment for Petroteq technically and organizationally, as well as the harbinger of value creation to come,” Petroteq Chairman, Alex Blyumkin said. “We have worked hard to demonstrate our commitment to shareholders, through the completion of our facility, we have received our permits to produce oil at the Asphalt Ridge, we have developed a comprehensive mining plan and demonstrated that our expanded plant can produce oil. Our dedication and focus on re-launching our facility demonstrates our commitment to our investors who have supported us throughout this journey. Further, we were able to raise capital and expand our plant to the point where we are now able to generate revenue at the facility which is being ramped up to what is expected to be 1,000 barrels per day in a cost effective and environmentally SEE PETROTEQ on Page 19

Commission pushes conservation overlay zone decision back

by Ryan collins rcollins@ubmedia.biz

The bulk of the two hour regularly scheduled Uintah County Commission business meeting last week was taken up by the rezone request from the Theos and Orion families.

The two families are asking the commission to grant their lands removal from the Penstemon Conservation Overlay Zone, which was enacted in 2014 to prevent an endangered species listing for the Graham’s Beardtongue and White River Beardtongue penstemon flowers.

The Orion’s own 780 acres of land in the conservation overlay zone and the Theos own 1,300 acres. Both of the families lands were rezoned from a mining and grazing zone to the conservation overlay zone in 2014, preventing the disturbance of the threatened penstemon flowers in order to keep it from being listed as an endangered species.

The overlay zone is an agreement between Uintah

County, Rio Blanco County in Colorado, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) White River Field Office, BLM Vernal Field Office, the Division of Wildlife Services, SITLA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Western Colorado Field Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Utah Ecological Services Field Office and PLPCO. Gayle McKeachnie represented both of the families at the meeting and openly disagreed with recommendations form Deputy County Attorney, Jonathan Stearmer and Community Development Director, Matt Cazier to the commission.

“My biggest worry for two days has been that I have been friends with John and Matt and I disagree totally with you’ve been told,” McKeachnie said to the commission in an opening statement after Stearmer and Cazier had read their recommendations to the commission. “So, how am I going to maintain that friendship and do what needs to be done to get the truth and my

clients interest represented here?”

Cazier earlier presented to the commission the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation, which made sure to emphasize the fact they did not want their recommendation to lead to an endangered species listing for either of the two species of penstemon. The planning and zoning recommendation was to give the property owners the ability to seek an interim status within the overlay zone and the option to withdraw from the zone altogether if the property owner so chooses and revert back to the mining and grazing zone it was before.

Stearmer was responsible for communication with the conservation overlay team during negotiation efforts in the Orion and Theos request to be removed from the conservation effort.

The Penstemon Grahamii (above), or as it is known by its common name of Uinta Basin Beardtongue and Graham’s Beardtongue, is a species of flowering plant that is present in the Uintah Basin. It is native to Utah and Colorado in the United States and was placed under conservation in 2014. The species of penstemon is one of two that are protected in the conservation overlay zone.

BLM seeks comments on parcels offered in December 2018 oil and gas lease sale Submitted

In keeping with the Administration’s goal of strengthening America’s energy independence, the Bureau of Land Management today began a 15-day scoping period for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to evaluate offering approximately 329,826 acres of federal minerals in Utah for oil and gas leasing. The public scoping comment period ends at 4:30 p.m. Friday, July 31, 2018.

“The BLM welcomes and encourages public involvement early in the NEPA process, as it is an integral part in our evaluation of the proposed lease parcels,” said Kent Hoffman, Deputy State Director for Lands and Minerals. “The most effective comments will identify issues and concerns specific to the parcels being considered.”

The BLM recently issued new policy instructing state offices to move away from the rotating district lease sale schedule and to now return to offering parcels statewide for each quarterly sale. This will be BLM Utah’s first statewide lease sale under the new guidance.

You can review the parcel list, maps and shape files, as well as submit scoping

comments on these parcels at the following BLM ePlanning National NEPA Register project page at: http://go.usa. gov/xUWdx. Scoping comments are most useful when they identify issues relevant to the proposed action or contain new technical or scientific information. Scoping comments will not receive a formal response, but will be evaluated in the BLM decision-making process to identify issues that need to be analyzed and addressed through the NEPA process.

Oil and gas development on BLM-managed lands in Utah contributed $1.7 billion to the economy and supported 9,171 jobs in Fiscal Year 2016.

The state of Utah receives about 50 percent of the proceeds of each lease sale.

For more information, please contact Sheri Wysong at (801) 539-4067.

Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to contact the above individual during normal business hours. The FRS is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to leave a message or question with the above individual.

Vernal City Council reviews public comment

by Ryan Collins rcollins@ubmedia.biz

e s The Vernal City Council met for their regularly sched0uled meeting last Wednesday evening after having a public open house on July 15 to seek public input on the city’s plan tto vacate 400 West from 100 South to 200 South.

In total the city received d28 responses with a total of 24 supportive responses. s “We first talked about this in January during our work session,” City Manager Quinn Bennion said. “It was on a list of things that we were considering.”

The LDS church has purchased seven properties on the east side of the main temple including the parking lot.

“That has been approved

by Planning Commission and City Council, the last fall preliminary plan” Bennion said.

“At that point it was recognized that most of that traffic, pedestrian and vehicle, would be oriented around the activities either at the church or the temple. So the question was posed, ‘does the city want to continue maintaining a street that the vast majority of the uses by another user...A very small percentage of that is by the public.”

So the city decided to hold 6a public input meeting about the subject, something they were unsure of how many

13

We Would like to thank the folloWing for their donations and support

people would show up and give their opinion on the subject.

“We wanted to get public feedback, so in the past couple weeks...we sent out letters to the 46 residents within 500 feet,” Bennion said. “We invited them to an open house that occured last night.”

Some of the negative feedback given on the consideration of vacating 400 West street were that it was, “Pandering to specific organizations.” Which one person felt could open Pandora’s box.

Some felt road access would be lost and another stated that they liked to walk their dogs on that street.

Support in favor of the vacation of the property was overwhelming as 22 people commented in favor of the move by the city. One person stated that the move would save money. Another said there is an economic benefit because the temple is a positive for the community.

The review of the public input meeting was followed by a discussion on the street light configuration on Aggie Boulevard, for the third time in as many months.

Earlier in the meeting, Vernal Police Chief, Dillon Rooks introduced new officer Trent Currie to the city council. Currie made it official by shaking every council members hand.

Bringing home the hardware, UBTech produces more national champions

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Dalton Van, (middle), competed in Welding at the National SkillsUSA competition in Louisville, Kentucky. He brought home a silver medal, qualifying to compete later this year at the World Trials.

Submitted by UBTech Four Uintah Basin Technical College students who competed in the National Leadership and Skill Conference (SkillsUSA) are climbing the ladder to national success – with one member of the prestigious group, Dalton Van, taking the silver medal in the welding competition.

The Nationals SkillsUSA event occupies a space equivalent to 20 football fields, with more than 6,200 contestants in 100 separate events.

“We have a national medalist and three returning champions who improved their placement over last year,” said Tammy Wilkerson, UBTech vice president of Instruction.

“Three of four of our UBTech students were among the top ten in the nation with two of them ranking in the top five. They all should be very proud of their success and accomplishments, I know we are,” said Wilkerson.

Van, a rookie at the national SkillsUSA contest held recently in Louisville, Kentucky, earned recogni-

tion as one of the top welders in the nation. His national placement gives UBTech bragging rights to producing three consecutive years of welders eligible to compete at the welding World Trials.

“I am proud of the quality of instruction that UBTech has proven time and time again,” said UBTech President Aaron Weight. “To have three consecutive welders be able to compete in the World Trials is an astonishing achievement.”

A welder must place in the top four at National SkillsUSA in order to compete at the World Trials. UBTech’s past welding champions include: Chandler Vincent, 2016 and Jordan Wynn, 2017. Vincent won the World Trials in 2016, and placed in the top 5 at the WorldSkills Competition. Van and Wynn will be competing at the 2018 World Trials.

The three other State Gold Medalists from UBTech who competed against the best in the nation in their respective field of studies were Madison Bulloch, Jaylen Reary and SEE UBTECH on Page 15

The three were returning state champions to nationals this year and each student’s performance resulted in improving their national standing, said Wilkerson.

Bulloch improved her performance in Medical Terminology moving up to a notable 4th place at nationals, from 7th place last year. She will have the opportunity to compete again in 2019.

Bulloch repeated the Medical Terminology course her junior year as an aide.

“The previous year I took it as a student, but this year being an aide in the class helped me sharpen my skills and be more prepared as I went to compete again at nationals,” Bulloch said. “Next school year I plan on enrolling in the UBTech Surgical Technologist program and be one step closer to medal at nationals.”

Reary, a recent Union High graduate, placed 10th in the nation in Cabinetmaking.

He is the son of long-time UBTech Cabinetry instructor, Aaron Reary. Jaylen

Reary plans to attend Utah Valley University in two years when he returns from serving an LDS mission to Knoxville, Tennessee. At UVU he will participate as a track athlete and study cabinetry – following in his father’s footsteps.

Holmes who competed in Electrical Construction Wiring, placed 16th this year, up from a 32nd ranking in 2017.

A sophomore, Holmes has additional opportunities to compete and looks forward to honing his skills in order to ascend higher on the podium.

“My instructor Mr. Hunter made a wall with wiring components just so I could practice,” said Holmes. “I appreciated how he found time to train with the students wanting to compete.”

UBTech is celebrating their 50th anniversary and Governor Herbert declared 2018 as the year of technical education, noted Weight.

“Students like these are prime examples of the power of technical education. Students can be successful right now - at their young age. It’s exciting to watch these students grow from contenders to champions,” Weight said.

Screaming that Trump’s Supreme Court nominee is an evil incarnate may make folks feel good. But it doesn’t make it true. And it’s surely not effective.

by Orinn Hatch There’s an episode in the fifth season of the classic TV sitcom Happy Days in which one of the main characters jumps over a shark while waterskiing.

This implausible scene, which marked a turn in the show toward farce and signaled its impending decline, spawned the phrase “jumping the shark.” To jump the

shark is to descend from seriousness to absurdity in a desperate attempt to retain relevance and attention.

President Trump nominated widely respected D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on July 9. It took less than 24 hours for Judge Kavanaugh’s opponents to jump the shark.

Protesters who had gathered outside the Supreme Court before

the announcement was even made held up posters with Judge Kavanaugh’s name hurriedly scribbled in. Liberal interest groups blasted out emails to “oppose Judge XX,” forgetting to insert Judge Kavanaugh’s name in their pre-cooked releases before hitting send. Others sent out releases with pictures of the wrong judge. Judge KavanaSEE NOMINEE on Page 17

NOMINEE

Continued from Page 16

ugh, it turns out, is such a threat to the Republic that his opponents didn’t even know who he is.

But that was only the tip of the iceberg.

The next day, a group of Yale students and alumni—Yale is Judge Kavanaugh’s alma mater—published an open letter prophesying that “people will die if he is confirmed.” In measured tones, these clairvoyants called Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination an “emergency—for democratic life, for our safety and freedom, and for the future of our country.”

Never in the history of the nation, or perhaps the world, has one person posed such a threat to everything we hold dear. The letter does not detail how Justice Kavanaugh will slay his victims, or what nefarious means he will employ to destroy our way of life.

But we can be assured that he will be very, very bad. Because the letter authors tell us so.

Over the next few days, Judge Kavanaugh’s opponents continued to go from strength to strength.

The Washington Post breathlessly reported that the judge once had credit card debt, and that he had paid it off. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the credit card debt was for baseball tickets. The horror.

Surely no self-respecting judge would involve himself in something so unseemly as sports.

The Post continued to land body blows on Judge Kavanaugh with a follow-on exposé entitled “The Elite World of Brett Kavanaugh.”

The Post’s crack reporting revealed that the blue-blooded, aristocratic judge enjoys coaching basketball and sharing a burger and beer with friends. He’s also a pretty good carpooler. His house has four bedrooms. He attends church services.

He likes to banter with neighbors about baseball. (Oh no! Baseball again!) Can we really allow a person who leads such a cloistered, elitist existence to serve on the Supreme Court?

And then of course there’s his name, Brett. In the words of noted political commentator Stephen Colbert, “That sounds less like a Supreme Court justice and more like a waiter at Ruby Tuesday.”

Judge Kavanaugh might as well throw in the towel. When your opponents start making fun

Tuesday, July 31, 2018

of your name, you know you’ve lost.

Anyone who’s been through third grade knows this.

The hyperbolic rhetoric of Judge Kavanaugh’s critics should surprise no one. Truth be told, liberals jumped the shark on Supreme Court nominations thirty years ago. When President Reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court in 1987, liberal interest groups called Kennedy a “sexist” and said his record was “troubling.” Of course, those very same groups are now saying the sky is falling because Kennedy is retiring.

Not to be outdone, three years later, liberal groups excoriated David Souter, whom President George H.W. Bush had nominated to the Supreme Court, as a threat to the “lives, health, and livelihoods of millions of women and their families.” In somber tones, they warned that Souter’s confirmation would be “a step backwards into dark ages we will no longer accept.” As everyone knows, Souter went on to be a stalwart liberal on the Court.

We’re now seeing the same playbook with Judge Kavanaugh, except with perhaps an even higher note of desperation. Judge Kavanaugh is not just “troubling”; he will actually kill you. He threatens not only our health and livelihoods, but our entire system of government.

Truly, he is Voldemort.

Having jumped the shark decades ago, liberals have left themselves no real option when it comes to the Supreme Court. Every (Republican) nomination is a crisis.

Every (Republican) nominee is a threat to everything we hold dear.

The volume must always be turned up to eleven. Anything less would be an admission that it’s always been hyperbole on their part.

And so, liberals embarrass themselves with paint-by-numbers press releases, hilariously mundane “scandals,” and prose so purple it would make even the most histrionic high schooler blush.

Judge Kavanaugh is an eminently qualified, widely respected court of appeals judge well within the judicial mainstream. But of course liberals can’t say that.

They’re stuck screaming he’s evil incarnate.

Good luck with that. It’s going well so far.

CONSERVATION Continued from Page 8

conservation team was the conservation team members did not agree to having this cost of the environmentals-seed collection and stuff like that, fall to the conservation team members,” Stearmer said.

McKeachnie went into the history of the issue, which has been before the commission several times this year, drawing a castellated facial response from Stearmer.

“My people didn’t consent to be part of this,” McKeach-

nie said to the commission, pointing out the entities that created the agreement were government officials and his clients, who are private landowners. He claimed they did not consent to join the agreement, which prevents them from grazing cattle on the land or attempting to extract oil sands reserves.

According to McKeachnie, Commissioner Shepherd and Horrocks both have contacted the families individually to see how the overlay zone has negatively impacted them.

“This doesn’t do any good for the people who are seeking your help,” McKeachnie said.

“The law has placed great

power in the county commissioners. The agreement and common sense says that you are elected by the people to represent the interests of the people and our request is either the first recommendation of the planning commission to just remove it, or the second recommendation to follow the concept of amending the existing ordinance to create an interim status and when they’ve met their requirements, they are out without further applications, hearings, applications and filing fees, that sort of thing.”

McKeachnie reminded the commission they are the only people who can protect the

landowners and that those very landowners who need protecting are their constituents. He also stated that there are 44,373.4 acres of private land that currently exist in the conservation overlay zone with 3,359.5 of those acres are already in an interim status.

Commissioner Shepherd indicated there were a few things he would like cleaned up before he was ready to make a motion on the ordinance and Chairman Stringer agreed.

“It sounds like to me I’ve got my questions answered,” Stringer said. “Which is, the ordinance does provide a way forward and that essentially

is all (we’re) trying to do.”

Stringer indicated that they are looking at the ordinance as in need of adjustment before a motion is made, pushing the final longawaited decision to July 30.

“We will bring this ordinance back before the commission two weeks from today,” Stringer said.

Commissioner Horrocks was not present at the weekly meeting and was excused at the beginning. The July 23 commission meeting has been canceled, making the July 30 meeting their next regularly scheduled business meeting.

PETROTEQ

friendly way. We now have a plant that has the level of scale that allows us to be self sufficient and generate cash flow to add value to our shareholders.”

The company has been actively seeking employees in the Basin in recent weeks e to meet their new production demands. Last week, the s company announced it has submitted an application for NASDAQ capital market uplisting.

“We believe up-listing in the U.S. from the OTC Market to the NASDAQ Capital Market will increase awareness y of Petroteq in the financial t community,” David Sealock 3 said, CEO of Petroteq. “We n believe that a NASDAQ list0 ing will help unlock some y of the shareholder value we . are trying to create for our stakeholders. A NASDAQ listing should provide us with more liquidity and a larger pool of investors that use the NASDAQ Stock Market as a requirement for assembling portfolio.”

Petroteq, who is based out of Studio City, California, had its initial public offering nearly a year ago, debuting at $.25 cents. As of July 19, the stock was trading at $1.09.

Petroteq is a fully integrated oil and gas company focused on the development and implementation of a new proprietary technology for oil extraction. The company has an environmentally safe and sustainable technology for the extraction of heavy oils from oil sands, oil shale deposits and shallow oil deposits. Petroteq is engaged in the development and implementation of its patented environmentally friendly heavy oil processing and extraction technologies.

“We have spent millions on developing our project, and we will look for opportunities to strategically achieve targeted projects for our technology to spend many millions more in business development, rural job creation and workforce development in the Utah energy mining sector as we expand our footprint in what we believe will become the fastest growing energy market in the US,” Sealock said. “Petroteq’s success will

provide opportunities for jobs and economic development in Utah. The potential of our technology to unlock billions of barrels of global surface mineable oil sands energy is quickly becoming a reality.”

Sealock added that Petroteq’s technology is one of the things that gives them a leg up on the competition.

“Our technology is a closed loop environmentally safe and sustainable technology for the extraction of heavy oils from surface and shallow oil sands deposits. Our proprietary and patented environmentally friendly, heavy oil processing and extraction technology process, greatly reduces old conventional oil sands mining water requirements and produces nearly zero greenhouse gas, zero waste and requires no high temperatures.”

The implementation of the new technology is something that will ultimately help change the face of surface oil extraction according to Sealock.

“As we implement our technology to harvest surface mineable oil sands resources in an environmentally friendly way, producing no greenhouse gases or waste, the focus on our facility and in our technology is being reinforced. The oil industry, especially the oil sand mining sector, is beginning to shift towards a more environmentally friendly process and we take pride at being at the forefront of that movement.

The company also owns a minority stake in an exploration and production play located in southwest Texas held by Accord GR Energy Inc. In addition, the company, through its wholly owned subsidiary PetroBLOQ, LLC, is seeking to develop the first blockchain based platform created exclusively for the supply chain needs of the oil & gas sector.

Basin Nickel Ads

DiD You KNoW? As many people know, I started this personally paid ad to provide information to Uintah County residents that I believed did not get reported in other media outlets in the area.

In the “OPINION” section of the Vernal Express on July 10, 2018, paper General Manager Derek Hopper wrote an interesting article with “predictions” for the future of various County operations. Although I have an opinion myself on many of the items on the list, I prefer to stick to facts and correct items on this list that are clearly misleading.

Item 10 on the list states the following: 10. They will then proceed to use the almost $15 million dollars in the PTIF account of the UTSSD to rebuild the road to Diamond Mountain, labeling it “The Buckskin Hills Project” or something similar, while also connecting private properties on Diamond Mountain. They have been told for more than a decade that there’s no justification for improving the road with public funds. They will proceed with the project anyway, because, let’s face it, who’s going to stop them? They will also use part of the funds to help pipe water for the “Rockpoint Canal Project” thus providing Jim Drollinger and Brad Horrocks an increase in water shares and share value which will assist them with their livestock operations. Jim Drollinger and Brad Horrocks will benefit significantly as a result of the increase in property values. The project will also provide Brad Horrocks and his sons with a brand-new road to their, for profit, Hunting Lodge on Diamond Mountain.

Item 10. (the first part) is interesting to me. Paraphrasing, you try to defame Commissioner Horrocks by inferring that there will be taxpayer money spent to build a road to Diamond Mountain to facilitate a hunting lodge. I checked, and the only thing planned by the UTSSD or the County for Diamond Mountain roads is routine maintenance. Who on earth would want a new paved road to a hunting lodge. That isn’t hunting. And how could any governmental agency complete a project in 10 months, that currently isn’t being planned?

Item 10 (the second part) claims PTIF funds will be used to help pipe water for the “Rockpoint Canal Project” thus benefiting myself and Brad Horrocks.

I am going to address some of the issues related to the Rockpoint Canal, but I encourage the Vernal Express to write a factual article, interviewing the individuals responsible for the project and publish the information outside of the “opinion” section, so that all the information is required to be factual and not “predictive”.

The following facTs can be documenTed aT eiTher: Ashley Valley Water Users office 100 North 44 West, Vernal Utah (435-789-3212) or

State of Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights Robert Leake P.E. Regional Engineer (435) 247-1514

1. The Decree Filing for the “Rockpoint Canal” water right was in 1874. Their right gave them 19.8% of the daily flow of Ashley Creek. They were incorporated on March 3, 1893.

2. The shares would have been fully subscribed near that time, turning each individual flow right to a corporate shareholder right, making the corporation the owner of the decreed right. The shareholders of the Rockpoint Canal, Inc. from that time on, continued to elect and retain a board of directors. The board of directors then made the decisions for the corporation.

3. People over the next 144 years have bought and sold land and water shares. That is how Commissioner Horrocks and I have acquired our shares—the old-fashioned way, we bought them. There has not been an increase in water shares all that time, nor can there be.

4. The so-called “Rockpoint Canal Project is a procedure that has been done all over this valley under the NRCS salinity project for 30 to 40 years I know of.

Most farmers in Uintah County and numerous other areas, irrespective of the canal they have water ownership in, have participated in these projects. (The farmers must be finding great entertainment in your Magic Mirror concept along with your concept of creating shares). The Federal Government pays a share of the project and the farmer the rest.

5. There are three canals in the valley presently working to pipe their canals. The High Line, Inc, Upper Canal, Inc and the Rockpoint Canal, Inc. Each of them has held their corporate meetings. Two of these canals voted over 99% to pursue the project and the Rockpoint Canal, Inc. voted 100% to proceed. All these projects were started long before Magic Mirror. The projects will still be paid part by Federal Government programs of one type or another and the farm community pays the balance over a thirty-year term. The benefit for the local farmers is to put all the water in pipelines. This stops evaporation and seepage loss and creates more accountability. Any increase in available water gained by the procedure will be spread pro rata by the shares each shareholder currently has in each canal.

6. Yes, Mr. Hopper, over 99% of the participants in the three canals hope the projects will go forward. But it will come about because of the tireless effort of Corporate Directors, Engineers, Government Officials, Construction Contractors and untold other professionals and experts that have already spent countless hours working to make it happen. Neither Commissioner Horrocks nor I hold any of those positions. The projects will be great for the local economy.

7. One more item to note, both Commissioner Horrocks’ Rockpoint Canal shares and my own Rockpoint Canal shares added together are significantly less than the needed shares for a majority vote in the Rockpoint Canal company.
