Commissioner seat A candidates weigh in on Basin issues and strengths by

Staff Reports

1) What do you see as the potential economic impact, good or bad, of the proposed railway?

Bart Haslem I do not believe that this question can be answered responsibly at this time. The information and studies needed to make this judgement have not been completed.

I look at cities that are similar in size as Vernal and have existing railways and I have not seen any noticeable change in their economy. The railway will only help our economy if the product will help us

get into a larger market. Another consideration is the impact a railway would have on the trucking industry in our county.

What it comes down to is in order to increase our production, oil companies need more options to get their product to market and there are other mined materials in our County that I am sure could benefit from a cheaper and better delivery system. In these situations, we would have to weigh cost vs benefit.

Joni Crane Maybe the third time is a charm. When I moved here fourteen

years ago, we were on the tail end of a railway feasibility study that Bill Johnson, our Economic Development Director at the time, shared with me.

There was no question, it was deemed unfeasible.

A more recent transportation study that looked at rail feasibility along with many other transportation issues, found that improved transportation in our region could improve our economy immensely but rail was still not found ultimately feasible.

I have heard that the 7-County Coalition is pursuing the idea of rail going in a different direction

through Colorado.

This rail idea is a new initiative with a new travel corridor and a proposal for a feasibility study may have merit. The jury is out for me. I am willing to have an open mind and take all the findings into consideration before I form an opinion. As far as I am aware the 7-County Coalition is seeking funding for this third feasibility study.

2) There has been much discussion regarding the separation of the County Commission, Commissioners and the Special Service Districts.

What is your posi-

tion on this matter?

Bart Haslem

I believe that the way the Boards and Districts are currently operating that it is vital that a Commissioner sits on each Board.

I would like to see more elected officials or elected board members on the Special Service District boards. This would make the Districts more accountable to the people they serve for their actions and decision making. This would give the citizens of Uintah County a greater voice in how our mineral lease money is being used.

Simply being appointed to the Board does not allow for the public to have a voice, being elected will.

Bart Haslem (Below) and Joni Crane (above) are vying for the right to represent and serve Uintah County in the County Commissioner seat A race.

Cloud, which is a popular site for families to come and take photos.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has been notified, and the issue is currently under investigation.

According to the Division of Natural Resources (DNR) and Utah Geological Society, this type of graffiti is referred to as Geo Vandalism, and its occurrence is becoming more and more common in Utah and in surrounding states such as Colorado.

Geo Vandalism, according to DNR, is defined as, “The act of deliberately damaging natural features of the Earth’s surface— is a global dilemma that has intensified in modern times by way of expanding human populations, greater mobility, instant information access, social media, and Internet-driven worldwide marketing of products.”

The Utah Geological Society website further states that, “Utah has witnessed many instances of Geo Vandalism, in part due to our state’s numerous treasured geological elements.

In the first decade and a half of this century there have been varied and notable cases: The mysterious, yet apparently intentional, fall and shattering of the intricate “Teapot” at Fantasy Canyon in Uintah County.

Sampling of bedrock by electric saw and rock core drilling by a geologist in the highly popular biking area of Bartlett Wash near Moab for scientific analysis, is a case of “professional Geo Vandalism.

The theft and mutilation of dinosaur prints and trackways around the Colorado Plateau and at Red Fleet State Park.

ship county government is permitted to have with districts isn’t rocket science.

We need to follow the laws; as well as the “intent” of the laws.

Special Service districts are set up to oversee the use of our local share of federal mineral lease royalties, by putting those funds under the “independent” control of a district board. By doing this, O the county avoids a ddecrease in federal ypayments-in-lieu of taxes (PILT) for services provided on public lands.

For some reason, it seems the word “independent” isn’t taken seriously and the term “arms-length” is misunderstood. In numerous meetings of the various Special Service Districts and administrative meetings, former Utah Lt. Governor Gayle McKeachnie, acting as SSD counsel has warned it is not a matter of “if ”, but “when” our county will lose its PILT money because of the commissioners not remaining at armslength from control of the districts, meaning that they should remain politically and financially independent.

In a reply to Commissioner Bill Stringer, Ryan Roberts who conducted the recent Transportation SSD audit, specifically stated, “It is preferable that no members of the county commission serve on the board.”

I believe the volunteers and directors who serve on these boards throughout our county are not only vital, but wise, and if trained properly should be trusted to oversee their districts with only necessary informational input and updates from our commissioners.

3) What do you see as the biggest issue facing Uintah County?

Bart Haslem My biggest issue and concern has always been the amount of debt the County has acquired and proper use of our tax, mineral lease and PILT money.

Currently, in my opinion our biggest concern should be the lawsuit filed by the

Ute Tribe against the Federal Government.

It will not only affect our jobs, mineral lease and tax base but it will destroy our water rights.

This lawsuit should become the highest priority, it will affect every citizen living in Uintah County, the State of Utah as a whole and more.

I came to see Dr. White for my low back pain, and that has been fixed 100%! Seriously

Joni Crane Over-regulation in almost every industry, and overreach of the federal government are the greatest issues facing our county residents and employers. For many years I served as the Legislative Council Chair of the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce. It was our job to assist businesses and chamber members when their businesses faced challenges.

We i n s t i g a t e d changes to the Federal Motor Carrier’s Act which had added regulations that were affecting drive time logs for company’s hauling fracking sand. We assisted Red Leaf and Enefit with letters of support as they navigated environmental policies on water. Local glass companies were harmed when new federal regulations forced customers in mobile buildings to purchase expensive replacement window kits instead of allowing them to cut new panes of replacement glass. It is common knowledge that energy companies are heavily regulated sometimes to the point of closing their operations.

I believe in common sense regulation to protect water, air, and our natural habitat, but when those regulations are used as political weapons to destroy small businesses and wipe out politically disliked industries, they need to be reassessed and realigned with the proper role of government.

4) How would you categorize your fiscal position?

More importantly do you feel the county should cut spending, carefully manage spending or is there even cause for concern as it relates to managing budget?

Two years ago I came to see Dr. White for my low back pain, and that has been fixed 100%! Seriously, I can ride horses, I can do things I hadn’t been able to do for years. I can’t believe it. And now, Dr. White is working on my neck. I was ready for surgery, I was going to go do the laser surgery before I came to talk to Dr. White, and you saved my life! It was my left shoulder that was killing me, I was ready to have surgery on it, and my pain level right now is almost a 0 out of 10, and when I first came in it was a 10 out of 10.

Seriously, I tell everybody, go see Dr. White if you’re in pain. My son’s back is killing him, and I’ve told him to come in. I tell everyone. I tell my husband, I tell everyone I meet who has back problems, you have to go see Dr. White! He’s a miracle!

Because before I came here, I had been to every chiropractor out here, and I’m not saying anything bad about the other chiropractors, but I spent lots and lots of money with another one, and honestly it didn’t help at all. Then I went out to a spine and disc center out in Salt Lake and got medicine, and I don’t like medicine, it doesn’t work for me. And so that wasn’t working either. Thats when I went and got an MRI, and no one ever even told me what was on the MRI besides you, so I didn’t even know what the problem was. But obviously, now I know it was my degenerative discs that were hurting.

Now, I can turn my head! I haven’t been able to do this for years with my neck, it’s crazy! You have helped me lots and I really appreciate it. I love you from the bottom of my heart Dr. White, I really do!

32 years of brightly colored tradition

by Ryan Collins rcollins@ubmedia.biz

Residents of Vernal City may have noticed their city sidewalks became infused with color over the course of last week. Vernal City is known for their petunias that line the streets starting in late May that has been a tradition now for 32 years since the city started the project in 1986.

“I’ve got some guys that do a great job,” Vernal City Street Superintendent Glade Allred said. “We’ve got some great employees.”

The employees Glade Allred is referring to are employees like Jared Ihde, who starts his day long before the sun rises. He does it seven days a week.

Ihde drives one of the water trucks responsible for ensuring the summer color Vernal residents have come to expect remains all summer long. Ihde is responsible for watering half of the hanging baskets and pots throughout the city.

“They’re out on Main Street every morning, seven days a week,” Allred said. “We have two trucks. One that wa-

ters from 1st West up to 10th West. The other truck does all of the outlying areas.”

According to Allred, the flower project originally started in Vernal city three years before he became an employee for the city.

Rance Searle’s family was presented with a plaque by the Vernal City Council in 2011 for his vision of downtown Vernal and the flower project. Searle is considered the founder of the flower project.

Searle passed away on March 27, 2009, but has left a lasting legacy, one that still

survives today on the sidewalks of Vernal.

“It started with putting flowers around his motel, the Diamond Hills Motel that was located on 600 West and Main Street,” Allred said.

“He put a lot of flowers around his motel... the council and chamber wanted to make a big statement that we are here to stay and they got participation from some of the merchants to help water them the first few years.”

During 1984, the city was experiencing an economic downturn and it was thought the flowers would provide a spark and a statement to the community.

After 32 years, the tradition that Searle is credited with is still going strong today as a long-standing symbol of the community.

It’s something that all can enjoy and takes lots of hard work to provide.

Continued from Page 9

Bart Haslem My position regarding tax payer funds has always been clear. It’s fiscal conservatism. The tax payer funds and spending should be carefully managed.

We have some very experienced and knowledgeable people who work for County that are great assets to this process.

Joni Crane I am a fiscal conservative. With that in mind I have identified ways in the county to continue to cut spending by re-organizing what we do while carefully managing our spending. The county in a nut shell is a service oriented organization. Some services are mandated by state and federal law. Those are things that can’t necessarily be cut but the way we deliver those services can make all the difference in cutting costs.

As we look for ways to cut spending and examine each budget line item carefully, it may be necessary to do things differently.

Maybe we need to purchase different technology or cut ties in one area to save in another. Never should a contract with the county be used to create wealth or support a buddy.

It’s your money, we are the stewards of it. We need to always be looking for ways to save money.

After all, we’re here to serve the people of the county in the best, most efficient way possible with the best quality of people we can get.

5) What are your plans for diversifying and improving the economy of the Basin?

Bart Haslem Unfortunately, no one can see the future, but there are things we can control. There are projects that are being funded by our County and Special Service Districts that have been awarded to companies from outside of the Uintah Basin. If these projects are instead awarded to a local company, it would allow for the funds to stay in the Basin and provide more jobs to those who live here.

We wouldn’t watch the funds funnel into the Wasatch Front, it would stay in the County and improve the overall economy.

In order to diversity we need to adapt to new technologies and bring stability to our tax base. We need to look at ways to get the best out of the resources we have in the Basin. We need to not only look at the railway, but a refinery, manufacturing and fabricating.

We have some of the best trained and experienced workforces in the Basin and we need to support them.

Joni Crane My best talents are networking and public relations. I have friends and connections all over the U.S. in industries like software, manufacturing, policy, and investment. You would be hard-pressed to speak with me for over five minutes and not realize I am from a small wonderful town in rural Utah that has a need for business development.

Creative entrepreneurship ideas are all around us in this era of global industry and I can see a future for the basin that includes manufacturing, energy jobs of all kinds, tourism and hospitality businesses, as well as hightech telecommuting jobs. I envision a community where our children don’t have to leave their hometown behind to find careers.

Fortunately, we have programs like Custom-Fit offered

by UBATC that partner education with employers. We also meet the needs of many of our area employers through education choices on our USU Uintah Basin campus. The sky is the limit. Events like this week’s Dinah Soar, baseball tournaments, UTV gatherings, bike trail destinations like McCoy Flats and the sheer beauty of Uintah County put us on the radar and make our community an attractive offering for business owners considering relocation. Creating a business-friendly environment without over-imposing on current business interests in our county will be an ongoing priority for me as a County Commissioner.

What Others Are Saying!

U.S. CONGRESSMAN ROB BISHOP “I’ve had the opportunity to work with Joni over the past several years, and have come to respect her honesty, dedication to the job at hand and good judgement.

Joni’s extensive public relations experience combined with her ability to successfully interact with local, state and federal officials makes her a formidable, yet highly approachable government relations professional. She does her homework, and always comes to the table prepared.”

JEFF DUNCAN - Anadarko Petroleum “I have known Joni Crane for many years. I’ve always been so impressed with her core values and her inherent love and respect for her family, her friends and everyone she associates with. I really appreciate how competent she is politically and her sincere concern to do the right thing every time. Joni Crane is a very dear friend and will be an exceptional County Commissioner.

She cares about people, she cares about the community in which she lives, she cares about the great state of Utah, she is so proud to be a citizen of the United States of America and she has the ability, confidence and competency to make such a positive difference serving the great people of Uintah County as the next Uintah County Commissioner.”

ENID GREENE MICKELSEN - Former Member of Congress (R-UT) I have had the great pleasure to know Joni for over a decade through our political involvement. I have always found Joni to be honest, knowledgeable, and absolutely dedicated to anything she commits to. Joni’s enthusiasm encourages everyone around her to come together and do their best work to solve whatever problem needs to be addressed. She loves Utah, and she loves the Basin. She has often educated me on various issues and needs in her community, and I know that she is devoted to working with and helping the people of Uintah County. We need more people like Joni in government!

GLENN VAWTER - Chairman at ATP Services, LLC, Past Executive Director, National Oil Shale Assoc.

Joni Crane is a very competent public and government affairs professional. My work with her has been through our interactions on oil shale matters in the West. She has always represented the interests of ECCOS in a manner that enhanced the organizations reputation, and advanced the goals of the organization and industry it represented. She will be an asset to any organization she joins.

If you find a large concentration, some anglers are catching them while vertically jigging small spoons tipped with Gulp maggots.

Rainbow trout: Rainbow trout are being stocked reservoir-wide.

Expect excellent fishing from the shoreline and from boats. A boat is essential to access most of the lower reservoir; however, there is shore fishing near the Dam Point Visitor Center and boat ramps. Fish are shallow and cruising the shoreline, especially in the backs of canyons, near inflows and along shallow rocky points.

Memorial Day weekend is a great time to go fishing with loved ones and with water temperatures rising, now is a great time to get a fish on the end of your line.

Where you catch one, you will likely catch many. Marabou jigs are effective in earth tones and 1/4-ounce weights.

Spinners, spoons and other jigs work as well.

If you’re trolling, you should try small spoons or pop gear 10 to 20 feet

under the surface at 1.5 to 2 mph.

Smallmouth bass: Fishing is good, especially for bigger fish that are becoming more active with water tempera-

tures in the upper 50s.

Try reaction baits like Xraps or Husky Jerks.

Jigs mimicking crayfish (earth tone colors), their primary forage, are also a good option.

Burbot: Target burbot on rocky points and shorelines in 20 to 40 feet of water at night using glow-in-the-dark lures like Yamamoto grubs, Radical Glow tubes, Maniac Cutterbugs and Northland Buckshot spoons. Tip the lure with sucker/ chub meat, recharge glow frequently, and jig the presentation a couple inches from the bottom. (05-23-18) Green River below Flaming Gorge dam Good Starting May 21, water flows are at power plant capacity (4,600 cfs) and will stay that way for about two weeks. Bypass flows could also be used to meet downstream flow targets for endangered fish. Please check for current releases from Flaming Gorge Dam. Expect the drifting debris to decrease each day, making it easier to fish. You can still catch fish at high flows. Dry fly fishing has been fair. Blue-winged olive hatches are tapering off but have been best from 1 to 4 p.m. on calm, cloudy days near Little Hole. Cicadas and caddis have also been reported.

Although the hatches may be good, fish may still feed sub-surface.

Nymphing has been most productive using small zebra midge and baetis patterns. Try a dry dropper with a cicada up high and wet fly below. Spin fishing has been good. Marabou jigs or tube jigs in earth tones, white and ginger are a good option in shallow or deep water.

Rainbow or brown trout patterned crankbaits and medium sized silver spoons and spinners have also been working well. Pinch down the barbs for quick release.

(05-23-18) Pelican Lake Hot The bass fishing is excellent on warm days, and will only get better.

12 and there is no limit on bluegill. (05-18-18) Red Fleet Reservoir Good Fishing has started to pick up. Anglers report catching 21-inch wipers. They are feasting on black crappie, so try getting jigs to mimic smaller panfish. For perch and/or walleye, try fishing a jighead and worm in about 10 to 15 feet of water. (05-18-18)

Jack’s Got Your Back!

Starvation Reservoir Good Walleye fishing should be picking up. Kokanee fishing has been extremely slow. The water temperature is hovering in the mid 50s and the visibility is about four feet. The reservoir is full and spilling. Biologists have been conducting surveys and have found high densities of smaller walleye. We encourage anglers to harvest these small walleye to help balance the fishery and produce healthier walleye populations. Also, if anglers catch crappie, we are asking them to please voluntarily release them so this population of crappie can get established in the reservoir. (05-18-18) Steinaker Reservoir Good Shore anglers have been extremely successful fishing for rainbow trout with worms, Jake’s lures and traditional PowerBait. Largemouth bass fishing is excellent during the warmer parts of the day. There’s Bluegill Fishing Tournament happening on June9, which is Free Fishing Day in Utah. To learn more, and to register, visit the Eventbrite signup page. There is no daily bag limit for any species, including largemouth and smallmouth bass, rainbow and brown trout, and bluegill. This change will remain in effect until December 31, 2018. The Bureau of Reclamation will fill Steinaker to the same level as previous years in 2018. It will be drawn down to dead pool over the course of the 2018 irrigation season. Boaters should be able to launch through the summer, but we expect to lose access to the reservoir via the boat ramp in October.

We also expect there to be no storage water in Steinaker during all of 2019. Work on the dam will begin in late fall and will continue through the winter. We will not stock brown or rainbow trout in 2018 or 2019. We hope to be able to begin restoring of the fishery in 2020. (05-18-18)

D-Day still touches a nerve with Americans by

Tom Emery

Sitting in the choppy waters of the English Channel the day before D-Day, nineteen-year-old Private James R. Lambeth wondered what would happen on the beaches of Normandy.

“We had no idea what we were getting into,” recalled Lambeth. “I’d never seen combat before, and had no idea what it would be like.”

Wednesday, June 6 marks the anniversary of the massive D-Day invasion and Lambeth, a member of the 37th Amphibious Combat Engineers, was one of 156,000 men on Omaha Beach at Normandy on that day in 1944. Over seventy years later, the action still touches a nerve with many Americans.

A retired farmer from Plainview, Ill., Lambeth, 94, has vivid memories of those fateful hours. “I don’t know how to explain it, but we really didn’t have time to get scared,” he remarked. “When the guns opened on us, we just had to find cover somewhere. When you saw your buddies start dropping all around you, you knew you’d better do something to make it through.”

The invasion was part of Operation Overlord, a massive offensive spearheaded

by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to land enormous Allied forces in western Europe. An estimated 50,000 vehicles, 13,000 planes, and 5,000 ships and landing craft were involved.

One of five beaches along Normandy that saw action, Omaha was the deadliest on DDay, mainly because of the imposing German defense. Some 3,000 barricades were placed along the beach, while mines and mortars presented other hazards. Well-positioned

machine gun nests instantly opened fire as the Allies stepped off their Higgins boats and other transports.

By nightfall, some 100,000 troops had made it ashore. Within five days, over 326,000 soldiers and 100,000 tons of equipment had landed as the beachhead became a key drop-off point for Allied supplies. The offensive ultimately proved successful, and eleven months later, the war in the European theater was over.

Bill Thien, a past national Commander-inChief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, credits veterans of World War II, including those at Normandy, with changing the world.

“Certainly, they influenced the world we know,” remarked Thien. “It all would have came out much differently if it wasn’t for what they did.”

The term D-Day had practical meaning. The ‘D’ stands for day, as the planned invasion date was unknown, and dependent on the weather. It was originally thought the landing would take place on June 5, but a storm stranded the troops in the turbulent waters of the English Channel, leaving them soaked and seasick.

Lambeth suffered five severe shrapnel wounds at Omaha Beach, leading to a three-month stay in a military hospital in England. One injury caused nerve damage in his right arm, affecting his ability to farm his land after the war.

“A lot of us wouldn’t talk about Omaha, or the war on the whole, for years afterward,” commented Lambeth.

“It was a memory that wasn’t too pleasant, and we didn’t want to think about it.”

The number of surviving veterans of D-Day is dwindling

DiD You KNoW? HOW DID DUANE SHEPHERD BECOME A UINTAH COUNTY COMMISSIONER? • Duane Shepherd, when he ran for Uintah County Commissioner, came in fourth in 2016. Brad Horrocks (49.77%) John Millecam (22.59%) Dean Baker (16.06%) and Duane Shepherd (11.58%) of the votes.

• In 2014, Bart Haslem lost to Mike McKee by three (3) votes. A virtual tie.

• When Mike McKee resigned as Commissioner a small selection committee of the Uintah County Republican Party appointed Duane Shepherd to the vacant seat. The voting public had never shown any support for Duane Shepherd in any election. Bart Haslem had lost by three votes when he ran against Mr. Mckee—seems he would have been the logical choice.

• There were many other qualified individuals with strong financial and management skills in both the public and private sectors that requested consideration for the job and were never even granted interviews.

• AS NOTED IN MR. SHEPHERDS CAMPAIGN PROPAGANDA, HE IS A PAST UINTAH COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN!!! As has been said for decades and probably centuries—it is not what you know, but who you know.

SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO CONSIDER REGARDING DUANE SHEPHERD • Shepherd states in his campaign propaganda pamphlet: “I Cut property taxes by $680,000 In the County Commission Meeting held June 21, 2017”. Although, in the end, Mr. Shepherd did vote to cut the budget by approximately $630,000, Mr. Shepherd’s original motion was to only cut the budget by $348,000. It was Commissioner Horrocks that demanded the larger budget cut and eventually convinced Shepherd with the public’s input to accept the larger cut.

• Shepherd has not pledged to reduce commissioner pay even though comparable county compensation packages are substantially less. Compensation packages are easy to compare and can be found at https://www.utah.gov/transparency/ • Mr. Shepherd continually makes remarks in interviews and his printed articles suggesting some inappropriate action taken by his fellow commissioners. One item relates to what must be Brad Horrocks and the canal companies as Brad would be the only one of the three that would have significant agriculture interests. Commissioner Horrocks resigned from every position on any canal company when he was elected—before actions were taken on projects the county would have been involved with.

• For the record, the canal projects are to pipe the irrigation water, which according to the project engineer will increase the actual available water for actual use to the Vernal area in three canals by between 33% and 50% (Imagine the benefits that would have for a future growing community) Two-Thirds will be funded by a salinity related grant (Nothing to repay) and approximately one-third will be financed by the “share-holders” of the canals and repaid over time. Shareholders of the Rockpoint Canal met and voted in favor of their project 100%. Shareholders of the Highline and the Upper Canals met (as I recall, between 250 and 300 shareholders) The Highline Canal voted 342.18 shares for and 37.00 against the project. Or 90.24% for the project. The Upper Canal voted 2,188.094 shares for and 193.496 shares against, or 91.88% for the project. The only county issue would be getting the flood control part covered and Brad removed himself from that matter. The vacated canals can then provide the flood control requirement the county has at very little cost.

• Why would Shepherd continue to suggest impropriates, never coming forth with evidence?

• Shepherd stated on his campaign flyer one of his accomplishments as a commissioner was: “Brought to light corruption within the County organization and its subsidiaries.” The only real impropriety that has been brought forward, that I know of, was the Uintah Transportation Special Service District. Mr. Shepherd was the Board Chair of that organization prior to being appointed commissioner.

• There is a big problem however, if Mr. Shepherd, as a Commissioner, knows of corruption in Uintah County and hasn’t brought it to light with the County Sherriff and the County Attorneys, his failure to uphold his oath to protect “We the Taxpayers” has been violated and potentially serious laws and ordnances violated. Why just point his finger and make accusations? If he had anything where is it? Nothing has been brought to light, other than the UTSSD problems, that I have seen or heard, nor have I talked to anybody else with any such tale.

• Mr. Shepherd claims his conduct as Chairman of the “Uintah Transportation Special Service District” was above reproach. Refer on line @ https://reporting.auditor.utah.gov/servlet/servlet.

FileDownload?file=01541000001zmutAAA Mr. Shepherd was called out on the violation of meeting “state requirements and lack of meetings and procedures”; I quote from page 4 of the “Findings and Recommendations of the Office of the State Auditor”: “Repeatedly, we have heard various Board members claim that particular actions were administrative as justification for not waiting until a public meeting to take these actions. We find these justifications baseless. We have informed the Office of the Attorney General of our concerns regarding noncompliance. The “audit” arm of government does not inform the “legal” arm of government about actions unless the legal arm should investigate potential inappropriate actions.

A FEW OTHER THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER!!!

• Some in the County have said that Mr. Shepherd is not in his office during business hours. A topic covered in “Letters to the Editor” in the local paper. For the general public, it is impossible to know the truth or inaccuracy of these claims, however, if Mr. Shepherd supported time accountability systems and required documentation for hours worked, it would be very easy FOR HIM to answer the critics BUT WE KNOW OF NO SUCH RECORD. Going forward, we should accept nothing less than full accountability from our elected officials. To date, Mr. Shepherd has not supported these measures even though his annual compensation is more than $135,000.

I have been asked by some of the readers of the “DID YOU KNOW?” articles who I would vote for.

I am responding to their request as follows and the reasons. My choices are as follows: William (Bill) Stringer 1.

In my opinion, William (Bill) Stringer, Brad Horrocks and Bart Haslem will make a great team at this time and place in our County. All three of them have the same goals for Uintah County.

Together they have the combined chemistry, experience, background, education and, right now, the willingness to be compatible, so “We the People” in Uintah County can get through this moment in time and move on to a better one with the least amount of negative impact to our community.

On June 4th the County will be mailing out the ballots for voting. This is our only right to improve our county and have any input in our future. Once the election is over, we have no input for another two years. We are totally at the mercy of those we elect. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT AND VOTE AND ENCOURAGE YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS TO DO THE SAME!!!!

I have been writing the “Did You Know” article for almost a year now. The goal has been to point out issues, so the residents of Uintah County know what is going on behind the scenes of governmental entities. As to the County Government, the election has always been the end goal. If you now vote knowing the facts and voting informed, that is the best I could have ever hoped for.

This is my last article currently as it relates to Uintah County—” election time”—nothing more for now that can be said--THAT WILL MATTER. Thanks so much for the comments when we have met in public, plus the calls, emails, texts, etc. that I have received from so many of you. IT’S EXCITING TO KNOW THAT SO MANY OF YOU CARE!!!
