Sean Silveira & Cory Teunissen Win in Round 2 of PWT Season in Mantua
MANTUA, Utah — June 22, 2019 — The second round of the 2019 Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour season saw the series return to the shores of the picturesque Mantua Reservoir, an hour north of Salt Lake City for an intense day of wakeboarding and wakesurfing competition, with Team Supra rider, Sean Silveira (Wakesurf) and Cory Teunissen (Wakeboard) scoring wins.
Just as in 2017, when the PWT debuted at Mantura, once again the tiny town and the wake fans of the region came out in droves to take in all the action. With clear, blue skies and the Supra SA 550 delivering its world class wakes and waves, the riders of the PWT put on a show for the crowd.
In Wakesurf, Silveira remained undefeated on the season, backing up his season-opening win in Texas with another victory for Team Supra. The native of Orlando, Fla., picked up the win in the final round over Parker Payne and John Akerman. Silveira recorded the two highest Wakesurf scores of the day in the semi-finals (83.2) and the finals (83.6), en route to extending his lead in the series standings.
Teunissen picked up the win in the Wakeboard class, edging series point leader and Team Supra rider Nic Rapa, by just over a single point (90.33-89.17) in the final round. Teunissen swept the entire event, winning Quarter Finals Heat 1, Semi Finals Heat 1 and the Finals. The native of Australia earned his highest score of the day in the Semi Finals (90.67).
The 2019 Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour continues, Saturday, July 13, with a first-time visit to Ford Lake Park in Ypsilanti, Mich., which serves the Round Three of the four-event season.

The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh, directed by Jared Larkin. Running June 13-15, 21-22, 28-29, 2019 at 7:30PM with a 2PM matinee on June 29.
Set in a dingy cottage in a remote part of Galway, The Beauty Queen of Leenane tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a lonely woman in her early forties, and her aging and dependent mother, Mag. Constantly at her mother’s beck and call, Maureen takes revenge by feeding her lumpy Complan and hurling the occasional insult. Escape comes in the form of Pato Dooley, who is about to go to Boston. When Mag interferes once too often, Maureen decides the time has come to break free.
This multiple Tony Award Winning play is written by the same acclaimed author as In Bruges and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Martin McDonagh. One of his several Irish dark comedies, The Beauty Queen of Leenane is a brutally surprising and darkly comedic story that captures the monotonous life of mother and daughter in rural Galway.

5 Tech Trends That Businesses
Can’t Afford To Ignore
With technology evolving at such a rapid pace, some business owners are left digitally disoriented as they try to figure out which of the latest innovations they need to invest in and what they can ignore.
It can make for confusing times.
All that bewilderment aside, though, these fast-developing advances also create opportunities that can help small and medium-sized businesses become more competitive – if they understand how to seize them.
“Technology exists today that at one time was available only to large corporations with huge technology budgets,” says Chris Hoose (www.choosenetworks.com), an IT consultant who works with small businesses.
“Every year, technology becomes even more accessible to companies of all sizes.”
Hoose says businesses that want to stay on top of their games should make sure they invest in these technological trends, if they haven’t already:
The Internet of Things. Many Internet of Things-connected devices, such as smart refrigerators and thermostats, are designed for home use, but there are also applications for small businesses, Hoose says. Some examples: smart locks use digital keys that can’t be lost or stolen, and log a record of who uses a door and when; RFID tags on merchandise can prevent theft and automatically update inventory; and mobile-card readers can replace cash registers.
Artificial intelligence. Don’t be fooled into thinking that AI is something only the big organizations can afford to use, Hoose says. “It’s making inroads into technologies accessible for businesses of all sizes,” he says. “AI can help you offer increasingly personalized experiences to customers by maximizing your time and automating manual tasks, like data entry.” AI also can be used to improve decision making, Hoose says. Essentially, AI will help you take that jumble of data most businesses have and analyze it in a way that allows you to make better-informed judgments on the actions you need to take.
Telecommuting. The office world is changing and more workers spend at least a portion of their work week telecommuting. “In many cases remote employees use their own equipment, which can eliminate some of the company’s costs with purchasing and maintaining computers, printers and mobile phones,” Hoose says. Video conferencing, instant messaging and other advances are helping to make telecommuting a viable option, he says.
Customer-relationship-management (CRM) software. Any application that a business uses to interact with customers, analyze data, or recommend products and services to customers is “part of the CRM family,” Hoose says. “This type of software helps your team manage, control and build customer relationships,” he says. “It can log your team’s touchpoints with prospects, including emails, phone calls, voicemails and in-person meetings. You can have a complete record of your team’s interaction with a prospect that’s easy for anyone to access.”
Voice search. Consumers increasingly are making use of such AI assistants as Siri or Alexa to help them do internet searches using their voices. “Voice search is changing the way people find information because these queries are structured differently than when we type terms into a search engine,” Hoose says.
“Organizations of all types can benefit from optimizing their content to improve where they fall in a voice search.”
“To help propel your business going forward, it’s important to stay abreast of technology innovation,” Hoose says. “These technologies will help you expand your customer base, create more efficient in-house processes, and increase engagement from both customers and staff.”
