Noise Pollution
Acting Assistant Labor Secretary Richard Stickler had just launched into his speech before a room of about 150 mining types, discussing the agency’s response to the Crandall Canyon mine collapse last year, when there was a distinct and growing din from the hallway.
Utah locals are familiar with the 140-decibel noise, recognizing it as Channel 2 reporter Rod Decker doing his live feed for the noon news.
Stickler, who ain't from these parts, was a little stunned, and stopped his speech until Decker was done.
"That gentleman speaks louder than I do," Stickler said.
That gentleman speaks louder than any of us do.

There are three honest journalists in Utah. Decker is one of them.
