A 1 Forest Ranger Steve Sams, Park Manager Curt Sinclear and Randy Beers dismount 4 wheelers to have a closer look at Don Hatch Trail. Vernal man pleads guilty of sodomy Brent C. Gilley, 32, of Vernal, pleaded guilty to a first-degree felony count of sodomy on a child in Eighth District Court on Tuesday. Gilley was originally charged with two sodomy counts and two counts of sex abuse of a child, second-degree felonies. Through negotiations between his attorney, John Beaslin, and Uintah County Deputy Attorney Ken Wallentine, one count of sodomy and the two sex abuse charges were dismissed. Gilley faces a possible minimummandatory sentence of 5, 10 or IS years. Gilley must meet all criteria prescribed by the law not to receive the minimummandatory sentence. The charges against Gilley stem from two separate incidents last spring when he was accused of sexually sex-ually abusing a child under the age of 14, not related to him. Sentencing has been set for Nov. 29 by Judge A. Lynn Payne following follow-ing a presentence evaluation by Adult Probation and Parole. Hatch Trail... Continued from page 1 "Don Hatch, when he was alive, pushed for this trail, and I believe it would be something he wanted," Beers said. Ranger Steve Sams said the volunteer vol-unteer effort to clear the trail, is "what made it all possible. We had numerous hours of volunteer labor." The trail is not open to four-wheel travel, because of a threatened species of bird in the area during the summer. "The test will be to see how the snow lays on the trail and how long it will last," Sams said.

V I low can our county afford the expensive road and bridge into the pclroglyphs when we have needed a bridge for years over Ashley Creek on 5th East? Why arc we taking on private roads here and there and uc can't even patch inc roaas wc nave irw ntm In 1931 an ordinance was passed making it illegal to onng garage irom areas outside our county. Our costs have gone up from 51 to 55 per load. Why are our commissioners allowing Duchesne and Moffat County to use our land fill? Where U the integrity of our County Commissioners when the Bidding process has no meaning? The bids are changed to suit themselves and the tan payers pick up the bill Why aren't people who get the contracts made to Hand behind their work?
