The hightened activity has led Cotter to nearly double employment from where it was a year ago at the companys processing plant in Fremont County and to invest millions of dollars in preparing to resume production from Colorado ores. Uranium is approximately $20 per pound today, up from about $10 in 2003, explained Cotter Executive Vice President Rich Zoeger. That trend, along with a parallel rise in vanadium prices, h as allowed us to follow suit with employment levels at the CaOon City mill and the West Slope properties.

Birch approached the county early this year with a plan to build an alternative school near Spring City, but received opposition from residents concerned about having delinquent youth in and around the community. During a standing room only meeting in Mt. Pleasant a couple of weeks ago, Birch allayed many of those fears and presented specific details about the school and its potential benefits for the area, including the job Opportunities it will provide to county residents. Since then, there have been a lot of positive responses, Birch said last Wednesday. Sanpete Messenger Winds cause problems . . . Richfield The fierce windstorm that blew through cen- tral a week ago knocked out television service and power throughout Sevier County. Utah Power reported that 847 customers in Richfield were without power on Sunday. The power outage was weather related, and caused by a failed connection and two failed switches.

Tooele Transcript Bulletin multi-millio- full-tim- The Grand County Red Devil football team, shut out for virtually the entire game, managed to march the ball up the field and score a last-minu- $20-$2- te touchdown at South Summit last Friday, Sept. 24. However, the Devils attempt to recover the ball on an onside kick failed, leaving them with a 13-- 7 loss, their third straight region defeat. We really moved the ball up the field that last series, noted GCHS head coach Dennis Wells afterward. We started the drive when there was only 1:33 left. Braun Black caught a couple of nice passes, then Tanner Brown made a pass reception for a touchdown with 44 seconds left. Our defense played a good game, Wells added. It was the penalties that killed us. It would be third and 1 and someone would jump offside. Little things like that. For the South Summit Wildcats, Justin Jones scored run both touchdowns, a in the first quarter and a run in the fourth. He had 130 yards rushing in the game. Grand is playing in the tough 2A North Region, where the top three teams (Juan Diego, Juab, and Manti) are all still undefeated. Grand has rd already played Juab and Manti, and will travel to Draper to play Juan Diego on Oct. 8. Although a playoff berth for Grand may seem rather unlikely at this point, they could still do it if they win the rest of their games and receive a bit of help from underdogs like North Summit or Gunnison. This weeks homecoming game at Moab, however, is n foe San against Juan. The Broncos have non-regio- beaten Grand 17 straight years dating back to 1988, ac- cording to Coach Wells. Weve got our work cut out for us. They have a good program, he said, adding that the Blanding team has come from behind in the fourth quarter to win both of their last two games. Meantime, the Red Devil junior varsity team has been playing well of late, beating Dove Creek a couple of 24-1- 3 weeks ago, Blanding 40-- 0 in winning on Sept. 18, and also defeating Monticello handily last week. Fridays varsity game is at 7 p.m. at Red Devil Stadium in Moab. Grueling Alpine to Slickrock event race was challenge for runners Perfect running weather greeted 33 runners gathered for the first Moab Alpine to Slickrock 50 mile trail race. The grueling course began at Pack Creek, climbed toward La Sal pass, descended to Boren Mesa, climbed up and over Geyser pass and Burro pass, to Warner Lake, up and over Miners Basin, the half way point. Runners then descended to the loop road, down a section on the Kokopelli trail, lower Porcupine Rim trail, and finally on to the finish at the Slickrock trail head. This group of elite trail runners, familiar with 50 and 100 mile trail races, called the course the toughest 50 mile race they had ever run, and by a wide margin. Twenty one runners completed the course.

The ailment is a relatively rare transmissible disease that affects the nervous systems of afflicted deer and elk. Infected animals develop brain lesions, become emaciated, appear listless and droopy, may salivate excessively and eventually die. There is no evidence that the disease naturally infects other game species or domestic livestock. There is also currently no evidence that it can be naturally transmitted to humans.
