Duchesne County Commissioners and Ute Tribal Business Committee members had a second meeting to discuss different plaguing problems both entities are currently having. This meeting was also important because both decided it best to go public with what they are do-- . Both sides are equally important and should have no problem in expressing their feelings. One is not dominate over., the other. And for too long, that seemed to be the prevailing thought. Topics both parties are equally concerned over are economical development, to help ease out burdensome unemployment; get some water projects underway so the Wasatch Front doesn't demand all of our water; unify the. voices on prison proposals; work toward an agreement to have BIA officers ing. have been meeting formally and informally for some time. They thought it best to keep the meetings under rap so longtime feelings could be ironed out before public cries got wind of what was going on. Although generally it is not good practice to keep the public uninformed, in this case, it may be worthwhile. Because negotiations are sensitive. Elected officials thought it was wise to get some type of foundation to their meetings. That foundation has now been set. When both parties can sit down and discuss topics that concern both Indian and non Indian, the best possible solution can be achieved.. Both are working toward a common goal. Both need each other in this Basin for prosperity to continue. With unity the problems seem smaller and can be conquered easier. Although differences will be brought out and discussed openly, that is a good sign. Both The Uintah Basin Standard welcomes and encourage! opinions from reader! in the form of Letters to the Editor.

Eldredges thank area for support Dear Editor, We would like to take thia opportunity to thank the people of the Roosevelt area for their support over the years we have been involved with the education of their children. For some this has spanned two generations, and that has been a special priviledge. We also express thanks to the many fine educators we have worked with and we appreciate their support and friendships. We have loved our years (which combine to total 64) in the classrooms of this District and will miss being a part of the education community. Teaching is a rewarding profession . and also a very demanding one. We look forward to the future and the new challenges ahead. We hope for the continual improvement of the educational opportunities for all residents of the area. Our thanks and love to you all Burr and Jean Eldredge Neighbor - First Time Beginning June 1, the Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center opened at 7:80 a.m. until 5 pjn. Monday through Thursday.

Cant we find some type of parasite, like the ladybug, or that insects? Or maybe we could give them all distemper. Remember a few years ago when those people in Idaho had that fun bunny bashing party? Maybe we could try something like that I wonder if a worm shocker would work to drive them out of their tunnels. Then our teenagers wouldnt have to wait so long. Til bet Linda Gilbert has one shes not using. The best thing to do is hire people to stand around all the prairie dog holes. Then they wouldnt dan come out and they'd starve to death down there.

He added, however, if an employer must choose between hiring a U.S. ctitzen or hiring an alien authorized to work in the U.S., he can choose the citizen. Federal officials say all employers with a federal employer identification number, will soon receive an instruction booklet and a supply of the required 9 forms.

Someone could get rich quick by giving a prairie dog to a movie star and making sure it gets into the newspaper. Prairie dogs would become the "in" pets to have, and farmers would be able to let their corn go and just raise prairie dogs. (They do better anyway.) We could develop a scrumptious recipe, like peking prairie dog with shallots or something. We could send the recipe to Sunset Magazine, and soon all the gourmet cooks would be paying $2.00 a pound for prairie dog carcasses. You could get your teenagers to sit downwind from the hole with a baseball bat and a Walkman in their ears and wait for the critters to come out. (They're used to sitting, still for hours anyway). Surely science could develop a prairie dog mating call that farmers could blow and then practice their duck hunting skill on the lovesick animals as they come running out How about getting the government to pay us not to raise prairie dogs? I'm sure we could talk them into something like that Or maybe they could sponsor a prairie dog buyout like they did the dairy fancy wasp that kills harmful THE UINTAH change in hours V Hicken would be subject to penalties beforo the forms are issued, but urged all farm and ranch employers to contact the Immigration and UFB President Kenneth R.
