Auto dealer wants to trade diamond Mt. land A Tennessee auto dealer wants Congress to authorize trading 3,400 acres of public land in eastern Utah -- Games were played to 15 points or for 20 minutes. The Meddling Midgets beat out Cash Monies for near his new log cabin for private land in Colorado to allow creation of a wildlife conservation area. Bureau of Land Management officials oppose the proposal, which must be mandated by Congress since the parcels are in two states. is Rep. John Duncan, Bill to allow sponsoring legislation Rodgers, a sports motivational consultant and owner of a Knoxville Chevrolet dealership, to trade 2,800 acres of ranch land he owns in Moffat County, Colo., for 3,400 acres of land on Diamond Mountain in Utah's Daggett and Uintah counties near Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery, about 25 miles northeast of Vernal. A similar bill died in the House Resources Committee last year after BLM officials testified against it, saying federal taxpayers would be stuck with too much of the tab and not see enough benefit. Rodgers disputes BLM's criticisms. He contends his Colorado property would appraise for higher value than the Utah land and has agreed to pay any difference if the Utah acreage is worth more than the Colorado property. He also claims the public will benefit because hes arranged for the Utah Division of Wildlife to place all his land in a conservation easement to prevent future development. "We're not trying to rip anybody off, we're trying to make it better for everyone," he said Monday in a telephone interview from Vernal, where he was to meet today with state wildlife officials to discuss the easement plans. Besides the loss of Utah public and land popular with hunters, BLM officials don't want the Colorado land because it contains several small reservoirs that "will obligate the government to conduct inspections and if necessary, bring such dams into compliance with dam safety regulations." "Both the Utah and Colorado field offices are not keen on this trade, but Mr. Rodgers has been persisting to consolidate his current Utah holding into a much larger ranch for himself," said Peter Kempenich of the BLM Field Office in Vernal. Rodgers said he finished building a new log home last year on the Hoy Mountain Ranch he and three partners own adjacent to the Utah public land he wants to acquire in the trade. If he gets title to the public land - 1,600 acres are in Daggett County and 1,800 are in Uintah County he said he would close public access to the property for liability reasons, although ranchers could continue to graze cattle on the land. Last year, 3rd District Republican Rep. Chris Cannon the Rodgers land exchange measure along with Rep. Scott Mclnnis, before it died in committee. The resubmitted bill currently has no other sponsors besides Duncan, although Cannon's staff said last week he is considering signing on again as a rs -- p V'miit'fttut' Uhnm o di as attro Krtulfegub (Ditnti o das & T In addition to the quality home health care we I have provided in the Uintah Basin for over 6 years, we now offer hospice care as well.
