Huge crowds turned out at School Board meetings to protest a rumored boundary change and proposed use of the old Warrior Gym on 12th and Washington. Either measure, while far from ideal, would have helped to ease the crunch on W'eber High. The Warriors are in desperate need of adequate library, shop and gym facilities. With the planned additions, the school would be in balance - able to offer its large student body a program compareable to the other high schools in the district. Roy High needs to have its cafeteria and art facillities expanded. By making the most of existing schools, before we build another high schoo, we will be getting the most for our tax dollars, while offering the kids the optimum educational opportunities. Bruce Griffin, Weber Districts Director of Secondary Education, explained that in order to offer students the variety of classes needed on a high school level, the school needs to be fairly large, but the cafeteria, auditorium, classrooms, library, shop, science, gym and art facillities need to be able to handle a proportionate number of students. Since the bonds can be paid off at the same rate as the current bonds, for an extended period of time, they would not increase taxes.

According to MckKay, BLM Assistant Director for Resources Roman Koenings will personally look into a Utah BLM edict ordering the Cotter Corporation of Colorado to halt all access road building activity at its Nequoia Arch claim near the Dirty Devil River outside Moab, Utah. Local BLM officials cited the Organic Act as authority for their action. They claim the 1975 Act prohibits road construction in potential wilderness areas. McKay said that the Cotter Corporation has some 3,000 mining claims in the area of the Dirty Devil River, part of which is under study for designation as a wilderness area. They cant interpret the Organic Act that way, claimed member on the interior apMcKay, the second-rankinThe BLM has no authority to propriations subcommittee. stop anyone with a valid mining claim on BLM land from building roads on their study or not. Thats my position and thats the position of the Interior Public Lands subcommittee which wrote the Organic Act. I believe the BLM has overreacted to a big uranium strike and is trying to stop its development, he said. McKay said the Organic Act specifically permits mining and exploration on study lands with safeguards against undue or unnecessary degradation. My information is that Cotter has met the legal requirements for restoring exploration areas to their natural state and that activity in the Nequoia Arch area is entirely within the law,, he said. McKay said the BLMs decision is critical to continued minerals exploration not only in the Moab area but throughout the West. If the BLM can keep miners off valid claims well face economic storms in nearly every town in southern Utah and in every state in the West.
