Cookout BPW Club Has County Residents Leave forests provide rangers are the ability to determine a person's blood alcohol content at the time of arrest, which can be used later as evidence in court, and to also determine if the person may be under the influence of drugs. The PBT test is normally administered after the ranger has gone through the normal battery of field sobriety tests, Woolley said. If the individual has trouble with the field sobriety tests, the PBT test is then administered to the individual to determine the level of intoxication. Boaters arrested while boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs face stiff penalties, Woolley Specializing in Mountain Climate Trees Shrubs Wild Flowers Ground Cover The officers of the BPW met at the home of President Louise Rees on the evening of June 22 to plan the activities for the coming year and hand out assignments to the members. We appreciate everyone's willingness to accept and carry out those assignments. Those in attendance were Louise Rees, Helen Blonquist, Georgia Scales, Robin Judd, Dorane Taylor, Dixie Shaw, and Louise Wallace.

If an intoxicated driver injures someone or damages property, the violator is cited for a Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 and a jail term of up to one year. Woolley encourages people who want to drink while boating to always have a designated driver and a first mate in the boat who are not consuming alcohol. "Having just a designated driver is not enough," he said. "I'd encourage people to also have a designated first mate who can assist with such responsibilities as docking the boat and loading it on the The Summit County Bee . said. Rangers can also use the sound meter to measure the noise of boats traveling close to shorelines. Boats passing shorelines cannot emit a decibel level over 75 decibels.

Rural Housing Loan Program Picks Up Steam After a slow start, more Utah lenders are ready to participate in the $1.2 million program. A rural housing program that has taken a back seat to the recent surge of home loan refinancing is starting to get some attention from lenders. Begun last fall, the program guarantees loans to commercial lenders, enabling them to make home loans in rural areas. "Since the program began in November 1991, only 27 percent of the money allotted to Utah has been used," said Kimball Harward, Herd Records Program To qui- eter, as rangers on the same 15 bodies of water are now equipped with portable Sound Level meters. The meters allow rangers to measure the decibel level emitted by boats they have stopped on the water, and to also measure the sound level emitted by boats traveling too close to the shoreline. Rangers who have stopped a boat on the water measure the decibel level by holding the sound device 1 meter from the engine's exhaust pipe. Utah state boating law requires that boats on the state's waters emit a decibel level that is not over 90 decibels. After Jan. 1, 1993, boats cannot emit decibel levels over 88 decibels, Woolley Woolley also reminds boaters that the "natural stressors" associated with boating (waves, sun, etc.) produce an intoxicating effect which in National Angus Jo Ellen Williams, of Star W Ranch, Oakley, has recently been enrolled in the Angus Herd Improvement Records program of the American Angus Association, reports Richard L.

The violator must also spend at least 48 hours in a jail drunk tank or participate in a community-servic- e work program. The individual's boat, trailer, and tow vehicle are also subject to impoundment Subsequent convictions require more time spent in jail drunk tanks or additional time spent at community-s- Each year, hundreds of Angus breeders use AHIR records to produce more profitable, efficient Angus seedstock. By weighing calves at 205 days of age and again at a year of age, breeders not only identify the cattle that grow the fastest and most efficiently, they also identify cows that regularly produce above average calves, and bulls that sire outstanding calves. The American Angus Association in 1957 was the first beef breed organization to offer its members a production records program. Since that date, the AHIR program has grown to the point that breeders report over 300,000 birth, weaning and yearling weights each year. This mountain of information is processed by the Association's modem computerized data processing systems. Fanners Home Administration Rural Housing Chief for Utah. "Although the program is attractive to lenders, most institutions simply have not had time to get the program rolling because of the heavy work load associated with refinancing high interest loans with the more favorable rates not being offered. "It's a nice program. Until now;;; the money wasn't getting into rural-area- s. Some community banks make car loans and personal loans, but not many home loans. They loan can't prudently put a Harward Mr. on their books," commented. "Even small banks, who do not wish to get involved with the secondary market, can participate in this program because there are many larger firms anxious to process and sell the loans for 30-ye- ar them. i "Six major lenders in the state,1 however, have now qualified to offer the program called the Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan Program, and are ready to do business. Under the program, these lenders will be able to originate housing loalns in rural areas and sell them to the secondary market, an option that pre- -. viously was not available." Lee Hawkes, the FmHA's Utah State director, said the Federal government is working on a long-terplan that proposes 65 percent of the FmHA's loans by 1996 be guaranteed rather than direct lending from the U.S. Treasury. m "The difference between this program and the direct FmHA housing loan program is that the lender decides what is a modest house," said Mr. Hawkes, "Thus eliminating a common criticism of the direct program which places strict guidelines on the type and size of house which can be financed."
