Show Tf 2B The Salt Lake Tribune Tuesday 13 1987 January Critical Story by KTVX Isn’t to Blame Check the Antifreeze For Manila’s Loss of Station’s Signal Mercury May Plunge Continued From B-- up We’re lucky to get any TV out l unannounced meeting Nov 3 the day before Mrs Beckstead was to a third term as the uncontested Democratic candidate The story quoted Salt Lake City lawyer Kathryn Collard who says she plans to file a federal lawsuit against several Daggett County officials alleging they violated Mrs Beckstead's civil rights Friday morning KTVX went off the air in Manila and as of late Monday the station was still blacked out “I have no idea what happened” said Commission Chairman Ray Sad-lie- r ‘‘I figure it was a transmitter that went out up on Hickey Mountain I don’t know what's going on out there But maybe an antenna froze Wayne Searle has told the commission he wants to be the new county attorney He said he has a right to the job because he is the only licensed member of the bar who lives in the county and state law gives preference to licensed lawyers who live in here at all” “I can’t believe the timing” said Mr Angwin “I know what it looks like but that’s not what it is From time to time we hhve units go out Normally it doesn’t take this long to fix but this one really went out” Manila has been the center of controversy in recent months first because of allegations of massive voter fraud concerning claims that Salt Lake County and Wyoming residents were allowed to register and vote in Daggett County Then Mrs Beck-stea- d was locked out of her office for nine weeks before officials finally filed charges against her and still won’t let her into her office even though she was sworn in for a new term last Wednesday Now a private attorney named the legal jurisdiction The current county attorney nis Judd lives in Uintah County Den- KTVX general manager David Woodcock said staffers at the station also heard rumors that the station went off the air in Manila because of the negative connotations of the story about Daggett County “But they’ve told us it was a failed unit It was just a coincidence and we have no strong reason not to believe them” he said “We just hope we are back on the air soon” The “Yukon Express” will make return trip to Utah later this week That’s the nickname National Weather Service meteorologist William Alder applies to the frigid arctic air that is expected to send low temperatures plunging to or subzero levels in the -digit Salt Lake Valley on Thursday In the valleys of Rich and Cache counties where wintertime lows near zero are commonplace thermometer readings could drop to minus 20 degrees And in localized areas temperatures of minus 35 to minus 40 degrees are possible “From Thursday on the Yukon Express will

declared Monday For those who say that couldn’t happen he responds that it did — in 1973 A "fragment” was thrown 6300 More construction means more liability he explained earlier And that translates into higher security and insurance costs “Our management will have to make a decision to transfer operations to its other facilities in Texas or West Virginia” he’d lamented While much of the land is
