Weber Basin Water Conservancy District is not interested in buying out the Davis Weber Canal Hint explained that the water transfer is possible because of a drought relief project with the federal Bureau of Reclamation in 1977 However, even though half is better than none, some farmers are worried about when the canal can either be fixed or other arrangements made to return water to prior levels. One such farmer is Dan Layton of west Layton. He. for one, is still fighting mad that Governor Leavitt and crew have done nothing to make conditions better. I don't dare to plant, and others in west Davis don't no one dares to without knowing about water. Why is there still no water for something that effected thousands in Davis County when only 100 people in Salt Lake were affected by the tornado and they 're still being offered money? Layton asked. He added that the water situation only compounds an already bad situation for farmers. "A loaf of bread costs more than a bushel of wheat." he said, decrying the low prices being offered for com- Ca teams. Smoke drifts from the fuselage behind her.

Carroll. used for the crash site. Local volunteers became victims of the disaster. The field was littered with 6 parts and munitions that are typical of many of the missions flown from the base. The victims were bloodied and wounded by a team of specialists from the base hospital. Tech. Sgt. Yvonne Sale, who works in the records section at the hospital, seemed to be enjoying herself as she applied blood to the victims.

Baer received a h gash to his upper thigh. Theresa Johnson, also from Gearfield, was killed in the crash with a severe head wound. Other victims were scattered about the field with various injuries. As the police and fire personnel responded to the scene, the victims began moaning and yelling for help. One man continuously yelled, Come help usr as he tried to drag another victim from the crash site. The first firefighters at the scene approached cautiously as they yelled for the w alking victims to come away from the wreckage.

Sue Berk, base spokesperson, said that Hill is required to perform one disaster exercise annually. The next exercise will be held in Weber County in the year 2000. The (local and base emergency teams) said the exercise went well and agreed it was a good learning experience, Berk stated. Everyone got a better understanding what their roles were." she continued.

Overall, it went as planned," he added. Ivan Flint, district manager, emphasized we have never had any intentions, or never made any moves to take the canal company. No one has ever asked us, weve never been approached to take ov en He said all kinds of rumors are going around" asking if Weber Basin or Roy Water Subconservancy District are buy ing out the canal company: "We haven't even talked about it. We're not interested in pumping water any longer than necessary That last comment refers to the district's providing what water has been in the canal since the July 11 break.Weber Basin has been supplying just over 40 percent of the amount that was running through the canal just before the break. It's a lot better than not having any" he said, adding that "it's a good thing we had it. It's cost a lot of money to pump it It's not something we want to do but need to do to help them out of this crisis. Flint continued. We will probably continue to do it until something is worked out. meaning possibly into next summer. I've talked to a lot of the farmers on the w est side of Layton. Syracuse, and West Point.
