Manti Primary Election Results
Published on September 11, 2007 at 10:04PM
(Manti, Utah) – Just 22% of Manti’s registered voters came out to the polls, last night, to determine the six city council candidates that will be on the November ballot. The top vote-getters from Tuesdays results were Loren Thompson with 226 votes, Alan Justesen with 215, and Galen Christiansen with 176. Joining those three on the November ballot are Jason Vernon who garnered 170 votes, Robin Benton who ended up with 120, and Benton Peterson who finished with 66 votes. At this point, Kenneth Glenn and Chip Davis were eliminated receiving 64 and 57 votes respectively. However, with 6 absentee ballots still to be counted, Kenneth Glenn still has a mathematical chance to beat out Benton Peterson. That won’t happen until the canvass takes place at the next city council meeting on September 19th.

Bennett blasts MoveOn.org
Published on September 11, 2007 at 09:12AM
(WASHINGTON D.C.) – Sen. Bob Bennett criticized a full page ad in the New York Times purchased by MoveOn.org questioning the integrity of Gen. David Patreaus. Bennett calls the ad pure propaganda saying that it’s interesting that those who think a senator is corrupted when someone picks up his lunch tab also believe the same senator can be influenced by spending $167,156.64 for a full page ad in the New York Times. Bennett says the people at MoveOn.org should understand that we have sources of information more reliable than their propaganda. He says it isn’t Gen. Patraeus who is guilty of “cooking the books”...it’s the ideologues who refuse to let the facts stand in the way of their partisan agendas. Bennett further commented that Gen. Patraeus has served this country with honor for several decades, including risking his own life in combat. He’s done it without ever smearing any of his opponents or compromising the facts. They should take a lesson from him, said Bennett.

49ers Finish in Flurry Over Cards

(San Francisco) Arnaz Battle scored a touchdown from a yard out with 16 seconds left in regulation, and the San Francisco 49ers overcame an evening of offensive futility to edge the Arizona Cardinals, 20-17 Monday night. Both offenses had grave difficulty moving the ball, which was surprising because last season the Cardinals were 29th in scoring defense, while the 49ers were dead last in total defense a year ago. The Cardinals, under the direction of new head coach Ken Whisenhunt were determined to run the ball primarily as Edgerrin James (25 carries, 91 yards) was the focal point of the Arizona offense. The Cards took the lead late in the 4th quarter when QB Matt Leinart hit wideout Anquan Boldin on a five-yard strike, although this set the stage for the heroics of Alex Smith. The former University of Utah star made several big plays on the game-clinching 86-yard drive as he scrambled deep into Arizona territory on a 26-yard rush in a 4th and 1 situation near midfield. Several plays later, Battle won the game on his aformentioned jaunt, and San Francisco sealed the deal when Leinart was picked off by CB Shawntae Spencer with eight seconds left. In other Monday Night action in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals got past the Baltimore Ravens, 27-20 in Cincinatti.
