horse to work on its own without rider direction A cutting contest is a game of cat and mouse the horse mimics the cow’s movements to keep a single cow from the herd It is a test of intelligence training and skill - Sutherland is site of cutting horse show A cutting horse show held Friday and at the Saturday May Feed lot in Sutherland drew about 60 participants Ridcn and horses came from Utah Idaho and Nevada The show was approved by the National Cutting Horse Association and the Utah Cutting Horse Association "That means money won here counts toward our year end awards” spokeswoman Kathryn Dickson said Dickson from Salt Lake City is UCHA Secretary She announced the event at the feed lot owned by Ken Mortensen has been furnishing cattle for shows for 10 years "but this is our fourth annual show here" Mortensen said Judges are highly trained in their specialty Their job is to rank the horses from the best down in each class Dickson said In addition to prize money saddles are given to first place winners in every class Buckles blankets bits and other awards are also presented at shows A portion of the entry fees go into the This is a championship cutpurse ting" Dickson said “which means there is at least $200 added by the show manager (Mortensen) to the purse of the class also has open class The $200 added to it today" won $458 fust place The IPA Saturday Dickson said "We've had purses of around $500 to $600 in the first two classes" The three classes are and novice open Competition is held in different classes based on rider experience and horse ex pcrience as determined by prize “For example you’re money won watching the $3000 novice class” Dickson said "That is the horses entered here can not have won more than $3000 starting the first of the year" The divisions are like in baseball ranging from major league to college to little league The idea is that competition is among relative equals Not all ridcn own their own horses Dickson said "There are lots of trainers involved" The reason: “It is one of the top paying sports around At the Futurity show held in December which is the ultimate show of the Cutting Association the purse is into the millions of dollare” Mortensen said only golf and tennis provide higher purses than cutting horses shows in the United States At the Futurity entry fees reach "That’s why $3000to$4000perhorse the purses are so large” Dickson said “Half that money generally goes back to the enterers" Local competitors have done well nationally "Last year” she said "we had a couple finish up in the top 0 or 2 out of this area in Utah” studies eventual cost of closing power plant Intermountain Power Agency officials are concerned about the cost of closing the Intermountain Power Plant when it become obsolete even though that is not expected for a long time The concerns were among items discussed at a IPA board meeting Monday April 23 Power from IPP is being sold to southern California buyers mainly the Los Angeles Department of Power and Water which also operates the facility north of Delta IPA Board of Director members want the IPP coordinating committee to study the potential costs to find out if they should start a savings account now to cover them LADPW attorney Ron Renchcr said decommissioning costs are not a concern now because of the plant's current for a few value It has only been years "As long as the plant’s value exceeds he said the cost of decommissioning" “we don’t think there is a need for a lot of money in that account We do believe there is a need to look at some of the liabilities that have potential to carry We past the point of decommissioning are in the process of doing that right now" The coordinating committee will look at the cost issue from time to time Renchcr said but the real concern will not emerge for many years Officials expect the plant to operate well beyond 2027 the year bonds used to finance the plant are fully retired IPA General Manager Reed Scarle r told the board new federal legislation appears aimed at aiding power plants like IPP operate as long as possible even though sentiment is leaning toward finding alternate power generation sources IPA Directors are also concerned about new technological improvements Innovative techin power generation nology could alTect operating methods as well as the need for the plant itself "This is an area that we will have to be reviewing on a regular basis" Renchcr said Directors Ted Olson and Leon Bowler wanted to see an engineering study to identify areas of concern and potential costs like covering or removing hazardous wastes like fly ash They said they want to make sure potential liability costs do not exceed the plant’s ability to handle those expenses LADPW
