Show I BEN LOMOND BEACON, April 25, 1979, Page 7 tudent built home nears final stages by Keith Duncan After nearly eight months of combined efforts from several Weber High vocational programs, students participating in those programs can finally sit back and relish a most outstanding project. From May 4 to 7, the public will be invited to inspect and most likely admire a new home that has been soley built by Weber High students. ' With the exceptions of pouring a foundation, laying carpet, designing with Formica and installing furnaces, every other possible detail in planning and building the home has been by students. The home is located at 100 W. 3163 N. in Pleasant View. In a three-wa- y interview, Monday, Mr. Steve Bishop offered a sincere tribute to those who have worked on the project. I guess as long as the home stands, everyone of those students and their instructors will take pride in it every time they pass by. Mr. Bishop acts as the schools vocational coordinator. He has worked hand in hand with Mr. Earl Green, the house contractor, to see the years project through. Id really like to see a lot of the public here, said Mr. Green, who has worked diligently with students in doing the actual building of the home, It will be open and ready for inspection on Friday May 4 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Then again on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. On Monday, the home will be open the entire day. The home includes 1283 square feet the main floor, approximately 500 sq. ft. in the basement and sits on a 90x113 lot. Presently there are 23 students on working to complete the actual building of the home. They make up 2 separate classes that put in 6 hours combined time a day. 'Z-j- ; r.

Coordinated by Division raptor biologist Phil Wagner, the count attracted participation from several federal agencies, the Ute Indian Tribe, two Utah universities and several interested individuals. Biologists across the state spotted 658 bald eagles during the January count. According to Wagner, these birds winter in Utah, arriving in and leaving by late March. The final count is probably a bit er STEVEN BISHOP, vocational coordinator and Earl Green, the house contractor visit on one of the homes two back decks. Wagner, says conservative, stressing that some areas of the state could not be surveyed and all possible count duplications were eliminated. The one-da- y count has been organized by the National Wildlife Federation. Each state participated, and results have been sent to the Federations Raptor Information Center Washington, D.C. . Since 1976, the Division has conducted annual month-lon- g bald eagle counts. Wagner said that the Division count so was eager to try the one-da- y that the two methods could be compared. The bald eagel is endangered in all a few states where nesting populations occur. but . be float boating down main Snake river I'.; t'j blH For an interesting, exciting vacation, try a white water expedition floating and enjoying a seldom seen panorama down one of Idahos famous rivers. Float boating down the Main Salmon River or one of its tributaries, the Snake, St. Joe, 'flfrn t&fam Z GLEN ASHDOWN, j !:7Jp y outs finishing touches on cabinets in bathroom Selway, Owyhee, Bruneau, Teton or Blackfoot Rivers can be an unforgettable experience. Perhaps one of the most famous of these is the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The Middle Fork rises high in the Sawtooth Mountains about 20 miles northwest of Stanley. It flows northeast for 135 miles to join the main stream, which chums its way through one of North Americas deepest canyons. The rapids of the Middle Fork are positively unexcelled. No other river trip offers over 80 action-packe- d rapids and over 100 miles of floating. Its lush green forests abound with a large variety of wildlife, from soaring eagles to chattering chukar. . . partridge, big horn sheep, elk, deer and bear. Its beautiful grassy areas and rolling sandy beaches provide excellent campsites and its crystal clear waters make one want to drink. The Middle Fork's finny inhabitants include Cutthroat, Dolly Varden and Rainbow Trout. Everyone, even the children, can catch fish. However, V fishing is on a catch for fun basis, with all catches being released. In addition to fishing, it offers many fresh water springs, always making for an enjoyable stop along the way. The river's hot pools afford a hot hath. Most trips tiegin in Stanley, only a short drive from the put-i- n point. A typical day begins around 6 a.m. when one awakens to the aroma of hot coffee brewing over an open fire. Pancakes and bacon often start the day. by 9:30 or 10 a.m., floaters are out in the foaming spray and the roaring rapids. Lunch brings an hour's stop, and by 3 in the afternoon, they are once more on the river bank, making camp for the night. Summer daytime temperatures are pleasantly mild, and evenings just cool enough to make one appreciate the warmth of a campfire and sleeping bag. . Most of the float trips are conducted by licensed Idaho Outfitters and Mem won wyf Guides. These outfitters are trained to give their visitors the best and safest possible float trip. The boatmen that float the Middle Fork, as well as other rivers, are also excellent cooks. Meals are carefully prepared over an open fire in traditional western manner. Cast iron dutch ovens supply fresh baked biscuits, cakes and cobblers. Thick steaks and chops are grilled over the coals. Trip permits for each outfitter are limited, so early reservations are a must due to the recent rapid growth in this type of vacation. Normal trips are five and six days. However, shorter trips can be arranged. Whatever the choice, one will return home with the sure knowledge he will be back. He will come back to the beauty, the peace and the thrills of Idaho white water. For more information write: White Water, Division of Tourism and Industrial Development.
