At the request of student leaders from Uintah High School's DECA $375,000 for endangered fish plan in OurayJensen Stronger protection of stream flows in western Colorado and eastern east-ern Utah may be one result of a program to recover endangered fish, based on decision made Sept. 17 at an interagency committee meeting in Denver. Decision-makers in the Upper Colorado River Recovery Program allocated $3.3 million to determine and begin maintaining adequate stream flows for endangered fish in the Colorado, Yampa, White, Gunnison, Little Snake and Dolores rivers in Colorado and in the Green and Duchesne rivers in Utah. The funding, more than 34 of which comes from the Federal Bureau of Reclamation, is for the 1998 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, 1997. Other recovery action planned for 1998 include releasing water from various dams if needed to provide sufficient river flows, especially in the spring and late-summer. In passing the recovery program's budget, the committee also approved ap-proved $375,000 for restoring riverside wetlands for use by young endangered fish at five sites on federal fed-eral land between Ouray and Jensen.

The nationally recognized UHS DECA group, which is an association associa-tion of business and marketing students, stu-dents, has been actively involved in service and community projects throughout their existence. As the City prepares to host over 100,000 visitors to the LDS Temple open house later this month, DECA students chose to organize and carry car-ry out a number of beautification projects to "promote an impressive image of the city," according to student stu-dent presenter Vince Merrell. The students have planned several sever-al beautification projects. As a kick-off activity to begin their beautification efforts, DECA members mem-bers patched and repainted the town's resident dinosaur at the intersection in-tersection of 800 West and Main Street. The DECA students volunteered volun-teered over 70 man hours of work in order to repair and paint the town's mascot. Vernal City and Wal-Mart made significant contributions contri-butions to the project by donating paint and supplies. In addition, Utah Power donated the use of one of their vehicles and manpower to operate the truck. to convert two gravel pits in Grand Junction, Colo., to wetlands for the fish. One is near 29 58 Road. The other is the site of a now-cleaned up, former landfill near the Gunnison River confluence that will be allowed to fill with river water for fish and wildlife habitat and will become part of the Riverfront Commission's trail-and-open space "greenway" project. "These floodplain areas provide incredibly rich habitat for endangered endan-gered fish and many other species of wildlife," said Ralph Morgenweek, regional director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and chairman of the recovery program's pro-gram's Implementation Committee. "It's another example in which what's good for these native species is good for the river ecosystem as a whole." The Upper Colorado River Recovery Program is a cooperative program involving federal and state agencies, environmental groups and water-user organizations in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. The purpose of the program is to recovery recov-ery endangered fish while also allowing al-lowing for development of water resources for human uses. y;vcW"ud faour-fments, ' after-school r.1 t.jnglgnDWst.yardy;oirf care and walks in the ; the nfl-ifil Advertisers Who Want High Visibility And High Impact Are Finding It In An Interesting Place.

Roadside park to be developed by Kathleen Irving Staff Writer According to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), it is an "unsightly section of UDOT right-of-way." According to Naples City Manager Craig Blunt it is an "island of weeds." Either way, it is about to be turned into a roadside park. At issue is the area across from the Naples City Building near 1500 East at the junction of Highway 40 and State Road 45. the Bonanza turnoff. For years people have said something had to be done to the lot. but jurisdiction and funding got in the way. UDOT has now agreed to provide pro-vide up to $10,000 for the project and Naples officials have agreed to provide the manpower to landscape land-scape and beautify the area. Naples City Council members were delighted with the opportunity opportuni-ty to create some order from the present chaos and improve the first look at the city many people get as they travel from the east. Blunt's plans cull for removing debris and weeds, bringing in fill dirt, installing a sprinkling system, and planting trees, shrubs and grass.
