The new design has replaced the old "Ski Utah" license plates but still sports the slogan "Greatest snow on Earth." Although Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. signed the bill for the new plates in March 2007, the plates are just now gaining popularity since the old ski plates1 supply has run out. A skier is still represented on the new plate, although featured more prominently than the older plate. Winter sports fans are happy to see the ski- ing tradition pass on to this license plate, seeing as how the ski and snowboard industry brings in almost $700 million to Utah's economy each year. Our initial idea was to show the diversity of the state, the contrast. We felt like it was a really interesting metaphor to have both red rock and skiing on the same plate. John Clark The original slogan, "Ski Utah," has been replaced with "Life Elevated." The slogan tries to play on the diverse terrain of the state, reflecting not only the snowy mountains, but also the geographic range the state has to offer in its national parks. Keeping southern Utah in mind, the designers of the plate also incorporated red rock petroglyphs on the new plates. The minds behind the new design were that of graphic designers from the Deseret Morning News. John Clark, designer of the plate told KCPW News, "Our initial idea was to show the diversity of the state, the contrast. We felt like it was a really interesting metaphor to have both red rock and skiing on the same plate." Drivers now have the option to pick either the new "Ski Utah" design or the Centennial Delicate Arch design that was introduced in 1996. ELECTIONS from A1 elections on "Super Tuesday." The face-toface flattering seen in Iowa and New Hampshire will be replaced with broader, big-money advertisements targeting the entire nation. The candidates aspire to build momentum before "Super Tuesday," to enable their ability to run in the presidential election to be held in November. The next focus on the Democrats side will be the Nevada caucus, to be held on Jan. 19. It appears that it will be a head-to-head test of support between Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-IL), the delegate leaders so far in the Democratic Party. For the first time in decades, the presidential race is wide open... between the two major parties, there is yet to be a front-runner. On the Republican side, it is more up in the air, as Mitt Romney. Mike Huckabee and John McCain have each won the states Wyoming, Iowa and New Hampshire, respectively. With several contenders splitting the votes, the key states of Michigan and South Carolina are especially important for the Republican candidates to capitalize. Michigan poses an interesting situation for Democrats. The national party penalized the state for scheduling the vote in mid-January, rather than later in the cycle. The national party voted to strip Michigan of delegates as a penalty, but party .leaders in the electoral-vote rich state stated firmly that they will be seated at the convention. Clinton is the only major candidate who did not pull her name from the Michigan ballot. This prompted Democratic leaders in Michigan to urge the supporters of major candidates John Edwards and Barack Obama to vote "uncommitted" in the primary held on Jan. 15 instead of settling for Clinton. Neither Edwards or Obama are on the ballot, and under state law, their supporters cannot cast write-in votes for any of them due to the fact that none of them have authorized write-in campaigns.
