The local unit of the Army National Guard spent the weekend of June 9 and 10 in weekend maneuvers at the unit's new Camp Dinosaur. The new camp is located just five miles west of Vernal. Prior to beginning the weekend activities, ac-tivities, the unit promoted Reese Williams from second lieutenant to first lieutenant. Williams was in the U.S. Army for three years and has been in the guard for five years. He was in charge of the company for the weekend. At Camp Dinosaur there is a firing and demolition range. Guard members are asking the public to stay off the range for their own safety. While at camp the men in the unit practiced demolition techniques. They each used about 10 pounds of TNT. They were also instructed on methods JyA THIS,SF0RME I ) Advertising y Pays r i Vernal "th M Express ) J Vernal f?rcq ( Advertiser 7893511 if GET THE Milbank RECEPTION IKOM YOUR INDEPENDENT AGENT WfcHtfxSoia m4 k an 9tm tM s ar tfWfi'T. t ! 4H r w "" tH rv ti.

Some of the land mines and booby traps are the same as those used in the Vietnam War. Bud Atwood gave the men a lecture and exercise in safety for the unit. In other activities in the guard, five members of the unit recently graduated from the Region Five Noncommissioned Non-commissioned Officers Academy. Graduating members are Sgt. Bruce Lee, SP4 Norman Snow, SP4 Brook Dezelski, SP4 Larry Jaramillo and SP4 James Phillips. The unit has recently gained two new members, one by enlistment and one by transfer. Scott Glover recently recent-ly joined the guard and went to Basic Training June 25. Glover, 17, is of Vernal. Sam Munk of Roosevelt recently transfered to the Vernal unit. He has spent over eight years in the U.S. Army. By Helene C. Monberg, Vernal Express Washington Correspondent Washington Westerners are pushing studies of new water projects even though there is a de facto ban on construction of new water projects. The 1985 energy and water development develop-ment funding bill (HR 5653) before the Senate contains money to study 27 new projects in 10 of the 17 Western reclamation states, especially on the West Coast and on the High Plains, even though all 27 were unbudgeted by the Reagan Administration. In addition, at least one House has changed the amount budgeted by the Administration for 18 other water projects pro-jects in the reclamation West, usually usual-ly by increasing the amount. Most of the study money add-ons were made by the House, but several were made in the Senate Appropriations Appropria-tions Committee, mainly by Committee Commit-tee Chairman Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., and by Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., a member of Appropriations (as well as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee). Domenici also served notice at the Committee mark-up of the bill on June 5 he may seek funding by Senate floor amendment to start the big Animas-LaPlata project in New Mexico and Colorado authorized in 1968 but never funded for construction. Sen. William L. Armstrong, R-Colo., is considering joining Domenici in this effort. It's an indication of how edgy some Westerners are about the de facto fac-to ban on construction of new water projects. It has resulted from the inability of the Administration and Congress to come to an agreement on the amount of cost-sharing, if any, expected of non-federal interests in water project development in the future. Traditionally Tradi-tionally the federal government has built most water development projects and has paid for the bulk of their costs. The funding bill which passed the House on May 22 and cleared the Senate Appropriations Committee (SAC) on June 5 included 148 projects with study money for the West, of which 45 were added over the objection objec-tion of the Administration or the budgeted amounts were changed in Congress. Most were for flood control, prevention of flood damage, water supply for urban and rural areas, and navigation. Both Committee reports from the Senate and House Appropriations Committees urge swift action on authorizing legislation for new water projects, noting that the last omnibus water authorization for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Soil Conservation Con-servation Service was passed in 1970 for project construction. Flood control and flood prevention are front-and-center among the projects pro-jects being studied. The Senate report noted that Congress (ie., the House and SAC) had doubled the amount ($200,000) budgeted for flood damage prevention on the usually dry but recently flood-prone Gila River in New Mexico and Arizona to speed up Corps studies in the area. Both reports urged speed in determining deter-mining the reasons for "increasingly frequent and severe flood-control problems" pro-blems" on the Republican River in Nebraska and Kansas, apparently due to clogged channels, earmarking money for the Corps to conduct a reconnaissance study. The Senate Committee directed the Corps to see if serious flooding can be reduced at Malheur Lake in Harney County in eastern Oregon.
