The geological survey report also identified positive signs. Warmer water coming out of Lake Powell, depleted because of the drought, has - combined with a program to eliminate nonnative fish - helped increase the number of juvenile humpback chubs, though their long-term fate is unclear. And the most recent flow test, conducted a year ago, succeeded in pushing sediment downstream and creating sandbars in isolated areas. But the two environmental groups call it too little, too late. 'They issued some hope," Silver said of the study. "But the 10,000-pound gorilla is that they're showing progress when the flows are naturally low. Without the drought, I don't think they could say they've been successful." comment, citing the pending litigation. Congress passed the Grand Canyon Protection Act in 1992 to reverse the decline of the native fish species. The Glen Canyon Dam adaptive management plan was adopted in 1995 to guide the bur.eau in implementing recovery guidelines set by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The focus of those efforts has been a series of flow-test experiments that were designed to push more sediment downstream in a bid to create sandbars and backwaters that serve as habitat for the fish. But those tests have largely failed to deliver the desired results. Overall, "research and monitoring have conclusively demonstrated a net loss of fine sediment from the Colorado River ecosystefn," the study said.

"My oil-industry colleagues and I have been fielding a lot of questions recently from Chicken Littles worried that petroleum is running out," Cranberg wrote. "What we do have is higher prices for energy due to higher demand from the developing world. These higher prices have already set in motion the very powerful market forces that will stimulate conservation and technology for new sources of oil and even non-petroleum alternatives." based energy analyst and author speakers explain that most of the of the new book "Twilight in the world's big oil fields are mature Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil and declining in production.

Farmers with Higher costs' a n<T the same income from crops cannot get loans from banks, Ryan Niebur, who farms corn, wheat and soybeans near Akron. He testified at before Senate committee on behalf on the National Farmers Union. Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., asked for the hearing to look at the impact of higher energy costs on farmers. "There is going to be a tremendous amount of banking issues and bankruptcies," said Niebur. a fifth-generation farmer.

"That has raised my cost of irrigation per crop year from $50 per acre in 2003 to $158 per acre expected in 2006," he said. Salazar is urging Congress to provide aid to farmers. But Keith Collins, chief economist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said the 40 percent ••'Rate 1 whuii-s :av and occupancy fee and is subject to availtibiliiw No! valid with any other rate or package uiul does not itppiy to groups. spike in energy costs this year is a national crisis, not one that solely afflicts farmers. "To look at farmers and suggest you're going to write them a check to offset their higher energy costs is a difficult situation at best," he said. Salazar asked Collins what the administration planned to do to help farmers. Collins referred to the $800 million in aid to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina. "I'm supportive of efforts to try to help producers in Gulf States," Salazar said. "(But) I'm wondering about my producers in Colorado. What are we doing to deal with what I consider an emergency situation?" A^ked to estimate how many farmers could be pushed into bankruptcy, Collins said it was not something the Agriculture Department forecasts and that many factors contribute to bankruptcy other that a spike in fuel costs. Salazar said the hearing "proved beyond a doubt that high fuel costs have caused an immediate national crisis for our farmers and rural communities. Whether it is the assistance bill already pending before the Senate or another version, we need to get our farmers help now and then address long-term solutions."1 S.R. 92: Alpine Loop closed The Utah Department of Transportation advises motorists that state Route 92, from Pine Hollow to Aspen Grove (mile post 15 to 22), is closed 7680 Granite Ump Road, . • felon Village.
