Show Lake is developing fast Once a quiet lake supplying pioneer families with irrigation water Bear Lake is now buzzing with motor boats water skiers and other recreationists “There is rapid social change going on at Bear Lake” said William Dunaway Dunaway now at the University of North Dakota and Wade Andrews USU conducted a study through the Institute for 300000 square foot Cache Valley Mall opened its doors to the public Wednesday following a formal ceremony and ribbon cutting The Mall developed by Price industries con- tains 57 businesses Peaceable many of the social problems becoming more pronounced in the Bear Lake area have also occurred in the lake Tahoe area But inasmuch as Bear Lake has not yet undergone the development of the Tahoe Basin it is in the position of being able to implement those programs which were successful in the Tahoe area and avoid those situations which have resulted in serious problems for that area But Bear Lake has a unique problem in regulating growth “A town the size of Pickleville can’t be very effective in fighting development’’ Dunaway com- mented “There also the problem of the lake being divided by a state border a county border and lying in two different federal regions one managed out of Denver and one out of Seattle” is One answer Dunaway be- lieves is the Bear Lake Regional Commission established in 1973 “The commission can give guidance and coordinate policies of the many areas” Dunaway said “It would also appear that zoning and taxation structures in the area need to be changed to allow legitimate agriculturalists to remain in business Farm land could be taxed as agricultural land as long as it is used for such purposes If such farm land is sold for recreational development then back taxes would be required at the alternative higher rates for recreational properties pow-wo- w Indians Outlaws Lawmen recreate West Indian Pow-woera along with Outlaws and lawmen will be recreated this Friday and SaturAn Bear Lake
