RANDOLPH, Utah. February 1, 2017. Commissioner Tom Weston told Joseph Coles of the Bear Lake
Brawl Triathlon planned for the 9th and 16th of September, that recreation and agriculture don’t mix. He
said that landowners in Round Valley were rudely told to get off their roads.
Coles said that that may have come from a
runner, but not his staff and that they would do more to notify landowners
about the race. He also asked if Weston
would give him the names of the landowners who were upset so he could talk with
them.
“It is too late for that.” Weston replied and then made a
motion to eliminate the Round Valley part of the race. He said he would actually like to eliminate the whole race. “This first race was supposed to be a trial run.”
Sheriff Stacey said that they had no problems with the race
or runners and that the Utah Highway Patrol oversaw the race.
Coles said there were only 18 finishers so there are not a
lot of people on that road. Commissioner
Norm Weston said the county could look at an alternate route up Mill Canyon.
Norm Weston said he
wouldn’t second the motion but that he would recommend that Coles get with
Mitch Poulsen, Bear Lake Regional Commission, to look at an alternate
route. The issue was tabled.
