" County Commissioner B The Republican Candidate Paid by citizens for Lloyd Swain Basin continued from page 1 9 Conch Busenbark said that they are not planning to make any big game plan changes for the Utes. OB Rick Rasmussen leads the Union offensive effort. Busenbark said that Rasmussen's throwing arm has added some 1,500 yards to the Cougar offense this season. David Barrett, Chaz Frandsen and Luke Elder will go to work in the backfield. Rasmussen will look for receivers Travis Blackwell, Beau Gardner and Dirk Olsen to round out Cougar passing game. According to Busenbark, injuries have cursed Union this year. The impact he says has been significant in that the Cougars have not had the depth that the Utes currently enjoy. Putting the coming match in perspective, per-spective, he also recognizes the momentum that Uintah has built with their undefeated record and high scoring victories. Yet, in spite of the odds, he feels confident coming com-ing to Vernal. "We'd like to win and we're preparing for the game and coming over with that intent," he said. The game is scheduled for Ute stadium on Friday, Oct. 23 with the opening kick-off at 7 p.m. (2nd from left) and Tiffany Murray 1 3 II ft II ft i it i it i i LLOYD W. SWAIN Dumping on public land a problem The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is concerned about the continuing con-tinuing problem of dumping of public lands. Besides household trash, tree trimmings and agricultural agricul-tural refuse litter the landscape. Improperly disposed trash, particularly particu-larly dead animal carcasses can be serious disease vectors. In addition, people target practicing practic-ing with firearms, often leaving targets tar-gets and other trash at favorite shooting sites. A particular problem is broken glass from bottles that were used as targets. Sharp broken glass is a hazard for both the visiting visit-ing public and wildlife. Increasingly, there is a cooperative coopera-tive effort between Bureau of Land Management law enforcement officers, offi-cers, county sheriff's departments, and other law enforcement agencies, agen-cies, to investigate and prosecute illegal il-legal dumping. Wayne Stevens, local Bureau of Land Management Ranger, stated, "It's a lot less expensive to pay the nominal fee at the county land fill than to get convicted for dumping on public land." The Uintah County land fill is presently open from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., and costs $8 per load for household trash. During the past year there have been convictions for littering on public land, with fines of $150 to $250, along with guilty persons having to clean up their mess and one pickup load of someone else's garbage. Maximum sentences are up to one year in jail andor $10,000 fine. Correction to waterfowl shooting hours The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is alerting hunters to conflict and error in the 1998-99 waterfowl hunting proclamation. The proclamation error relates to Oct. 31 and coincides with the opening day of the general pheasant-hunting season. Page 17 of the waterfowl proclamation is in error and shows Oct. 31 shooting hours beginning at 6:27 a.m. and ending at 5:26 p.m. Correct shooting hours for Oct. 31 are listed on page 15 of the proclamation. On Oct. 31 shooting shoot-ing will begin at 8 a.m. and continue contin-ue through to 5:26 p.m. All Mastercmft Tires Come Complete Workmanship & Materials Warranty FREE Mount & Balance At Time Of Purchase FREE Road Hazard Down To 232 FREE Rotations & Rebalance For Life Of Tire FREE Flat Repairs TIRES BRAKES SHOCKS ALIGNMENTS BALANCING BATTEES M Mastercmft Tires Mastercmft Tires Mastercmft Tires P m mi IHIIIIILII.II.MIIHIII.IHMI I IIIIIMmilll.l I II I1IIIJJL WIL JMJUWIUMIIJ.

Team wins top honors in walleye circuit Jay C. Gates of Vernal and Jerry Pendleton from Kearns recently were named "Team of the Year" for the Utah Walleye Fishing Circuit. The Utah Walleye Circuit consists of many teams (two people per team) who fish four, two-day tournaments tour-naments at Starvation Reservoir, Willard Bay and Yuba Lake. In addition ad-dition to the money won at each tournament, each team earns points according to the position where they finish in each event. At the conclusion of the four tournaments, the team with the most points is awarded team of the year. The final tournament was at Starvation Reservoir, Oct. 3 and 4. At each tournament a limit is placed on the number of fish that can be weighed by each team each day. Also, a time limit is placed on how long the teams can fish each day and at the end of each day's time limit, each team presents their fish to be weighed and at the end of the two days, the team with the greatest total weight is the winner of that tournament. To qualify for the tournaments, each boat must have a livewell as it is a requirement that the fish be kept alive.

Out of a possible 420 points, Gates and Pendleton earned a total of 404 points and set a record for total weight of 102.64 pounds. This is a record weight that could stand for quite some time. Making the record harder to achieve is under the new 1998 Utah law each fisherman fisher-man was only allowed one fish over 20 inches along. At two of the tournaments, each team was allowed al-lowed six fish and at the other each team was allowed seven fish. As an added bonus, the entrance fees for all of the 1999 tournaments are waived for Gates and Pendleton. Walleye is acclaimed to be the best eating fresh water fish. Gates and Pendleton, who met several years ago at Starvation Reservoir while fishing just for fun, are both avid fishermen who have been fishing for Walleye for many years and are always eager to help other fishermen learn the art. Fishing for Walleye is different from fishing for most other species. The Utah Walley Circuit is sponsored spon-sored by Tournaments, Inc., Robertson's Marine and Rocky Mountain Anglers, all from Salt Lake City.
