Bingham completes Eagle Scout project TEAM PENNER, Lee Boren, moves number one calf from rest of the herd. Team penning at Fair continued from page 10 Ben Bingham, along with three other participants, successfully completed the restoration of a large frost-free water trough. Ben and helpers hand dug the area and constructed con-structed railroad-tie retaining walls. The walls will act as a heat sink and were filled with dirt to provide insulation insu-lation in keeping the water in the trough from freezing during winter months. The trough provides a winter win-ter water source for livestock and wildlife. Ben is the son of Debbie and Scott Bingham of Vernal and is a member of Boy Scout Troop 262. A total of 32 hours were contributed in completion com-pletion of the project BLM project coordinator was Steve Hartmann. fL x' . ' S'i'.'Mi.k' .

Erosion control project fills requirement John Wright, age 15, obtained the assistance of nine other persons to complete his Eagle Scout Service Project. John and crew completed six erosion control structures in the Sweet Water Riparian Demonstration Area in the Book Cliffs, approximately 70 air miles south of Vernal. Two of these structures were made of net wire and metal fence posts, the other four structures were made of logs. These structures slow down the water velocity, catch the sediment, sedi-ment, and keep it from entering the Colorado River System. As the sediment builds up in these structures, it fills in the gully and raises the water table. As the water table raises, it increases the area where riparian vegetation can exist. As the riparian vegetation fills in, it will hold the sediment in place and stabilize the structure. These structures, struc-tures, along with improved management, manage-ment, will help restore this riparian area to what it once was. The Sweet Water Demonstration Area was established in 1987, to provide an area where the management manage-ment of riparian zones could be studied and demonstrated. John is the son of Karl and Paula Wright of Vernal. Assisting John in the project was: Bryce Bartlett, Ron Bowden, Ben Foley, Brian Hadlock, Barry Ewell, Mike Justice, David Brown, Ralph Brown, and Karl Wright. John is a member of Varsity Team 775, Jim Linschoten, Varsity leader. tell anyone is, "When given a choice, a cow will always go the wrong way," The second "Unwritten Law of Team Penning" say that, "Even a broke horse can pull some strange tricks when cattle start swarming around him." Therefore, it helps lo develop a strategy before the run, using a little cowboy logic on the cattle, horses, and on the run itself. Cattle have a lot to do with the strategy every herd works just a hair different than the others. English cattle, such as herefords, anguses and black baldies, are preferred pre-ferred but any breed can be used. Originally PDQ used cattle supplied by local ranchers. After a few months, the club took out a loan and with help from membership dues, purchased their own cattle. Now they run around 75 head that are kept at the Vincent Brothers Feedlot in Jensen. A fee is charged to pen-ners pen-ners who compete in the weekly run to help with the expenses of the cattle. cat-tle. Because of differences in the nature of cattle, often due to breeding, breed-ing, most stock suppliers for an event will try to provide a uniform set of cattle for team penning. Color is also very important. The catde must be marked pretty similar. A good cattleman can watch a run, find the oddballs, because of color and size, and remember those animals. ani-mals. When their number is called, they lock onto a certain cow before leaving the starting line. Strategy also includes "reading the cattle;" observing how wild or docile the herd is acting by their movements. Most penners prefer not to draw the first run' of the cattle so they can watch how the herd is reacting to each other, the horses and the audience. After a team decides the nature of, the cattle and which horses are best suited for certain positions, the team maps out its strategy. Basically, there are three phases of a run; entering en-tering the herd, cutting the cattle out and finally penning. Vice President Vincent said that 90 percent of a successful time in team penning is luck. She continued, contin-ued, "Any skill of riders can capitalize capital-ize on the luck. The better riders always al-ways have the advantage." PDQ has been competing every Thursday night for several months. In addition to being a part of the Fair, they will host an invitational meet over Thanksgiving weekend in November. Other Utah team penning pen-ning associations, as well as associations associ-ations from Rifle, Colo, and Rock Springs, Wyo. will be asked to try out Vernal's own Western Park indoor in-door arena. PDQ hopes for a successful suc-cessful turn out from other associations. associa-tions. The Fair event will begin a 7 p.m. in the outdoor arena at the Western Park. It is free to the public and PDQ is looking forward to sharing their sport with a local audience. ML NEED EXTRA MONEY? Earn 15 or more per hour with 'CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD' Party Plan.
