Republicans vying for the position are Keith D. McDonald and Pat McNeill. McNeill relies on her years of experience ex-perience in county government and McDonald feels his years as a government gov-ernment administrator and auditor qualify him for the position. McNeill is a life-time resident of Uintah County and has been in business and a property owner in the county. "I do understand the problems Uintah County has faced economically economi-cally these last few years, and I will do my best as Clerk-Auditor to work with the other 26 taxing units to further the financial stability of our county." I have worked for the Uintah County Auditor for the past three years and have had on the job training train-ing with the financial systems of the county. I want to get more involved with county government and I pledge to maintain a working economical eco-nomical budget for Uintah County." McDonald is a CPA with a BS Degree in accounting, He has 24 years of accounting and auditing experience, ex-perience, 17 years management experience, ex-perience, auditing experience with a National CPA firm and six years governmental accounting experience. experi-ence. "If elected I plan to use my years of professional accounting experience experi-ence to improve the county's reporting report-ing and accounting system, maintain main-tain accurate county clerk's records, work with all department and county coun-ty enterprises and strengthen the internal in-ternal control surrounding county assets." Over 6,500 students enroll in District schools As of Aug. 31, 6,585 were enrolled en-rolled in schools around Uintah County. This number is a big increase in-crease from enrollment numbers in the past. One person accounted this to the fact that jobs in the the Uintah Basin oil fields have increased in-creased and because of this more families have moved into the Basin area increasing the number of students stu-dents attending Uintah County schools. Most schools have over 350 students stu-dents enrolled. Ashley Elementary has the highest enrollment of the cl-cmcntarics cl-cmcntarics with 512, Central Elementary has 388, Davis Elementary 392, Discovery Elementary has 418, Lapoint Elementary has 381, Macscr Elementary has 466, .Naples Elementary has 403, Todd Elementary east of Ballard has 443, the Uintah Basin Learning Center has 77, Vernal Middle School has more than Vernal Junior High with 867 and VJH has 826, West Junior High has 260, Uintah High School has almost 1,100, missing the number num-ber by one and Ashley Valley High School has 53 students currently enrolled. en-rolled.

Two positions which will likely be decided by the Republican Primary, there are not Democratic opponents, are assessor and surveyor. Lorin "Pudge" Merkley is seeking a second term as assessor. He is opposed op-posed by K. Lamar Nokes. Nokes has lived in Uintah County for 16 year and has been appraising real estate for 13 years. "This is home to myself and my family," he said. "I am very concerned con-cerned with what happens here." "Uintah County has never had a professional real estate appraiser as its assessor and for that reason predominately, pre-dominately, the tax burden is not spread equitably through out the county." Nokes is a trained appraiser and also worked in banks for 12 years. "I know how to run an office staff, and also the importance of accuracy in monetary figures." Merkley believes that government should work for the people and not the people work for the government "I will not make any promises I cannot fulfill, but I will promise to continue to work for the people individually in-dividually and collectively." "I feel I have something to offer the people of Uintah County and I can do more good on the inside helping than on the outside looking in." The race for surveyor sides longtime long-time county surveyor Nelson Marshall and Robert Hugie. "If elected, I propose to combine Uintah County's survey and planning plan-ning services under one department," depart-ment," Hugie said. "This action would result in a less costly and more efficient way to meet the need of the county's residents." Marshall said that during his term much of Uintah County has been surveyed and he would like to continue con-tinue that program. Vernal Express Wednesday.

Smith Dnsin Auto Supply Ten-year-old O'Jay Anderson earns his allowance by crashing his motorcycle through a flaming wall. The son of the owner-manager of Olie Anderson's 4X4 Daredevils, performing at the Western Park Saturday Sept. 15, O'Jay is a professional pro-fessional just like his Dad. "And like Josh and Cindy too," he said. O'Jay and his little sister Tara, like older brother and sister Josh and Cindy, are growing up on the road, traveling the fair circuit in the summer. Their mother, Joyce, also travels with the show, handling business matters, sometimes driving a stunt car. When they aren't on the road, the Anderson family raises cattle on the slopes of the Uinta Mountains in eastern Utah. "We're not much different dif-ferent than other families around here," Joyce said, "trying to make a living. Everybody has a job to do, even O'Jay. Whether it's milking the cow or doing the flaming board-wall, board-wall, he's ready." O'Jay began crashing his motorcycle motor-cycle through a firewall as part of the show when he was six. "Josh was six when he started too," O'Jay said, "and he was 13 when he started start-ed rolling the cars. Dad won't let me drive yet." Olie gives his youngest son credit for the idea of building "Destroyer 1," the world's first monster truck-robot. truck-robot. "O'Jay was watching TV one Saturday," he said. 'Dad, you ought to make one of those,' he said. So I did." Josh helped build truck-robot. He is an aeronautical engineering student at Dixie College in St George during the winter months. Josh also helped build "Big Red Express," the show's other monster truck which he drives. "You have to keep up with your audience," Olie said. "Each year it's something new. I remember when the big crashes stopped the show." But for now, high-tech rules. That's why the Anderson's Daredevils family built "Thundertrax" this year. "It's a tank that turns into a robot," O'Jay said. "Now we have two of them. It's really re-ally neat." The Olie Anderson's 4X4 Daredevils are being sponsored by the Vernal Rotary Club.
