Lorna McKee Phone 247-2350 Wading on Green River safety explained By Phil Douglass, Information Officer Fishing the Green River below Flaming Gorge Reservoir can be exciting, ex-citing, but it can also be dangerous. Four people lost their lives in 1986 in drowning accidents near the river. Unscheduled water releases through the dam's power generating turbines make the level of the river very unpredictable. Shore fishermen in waders are most susceptible to the dangers of a rapidly rapid-ly rising river. The river can rise so quickly that they may not have time to get out of the water before their waders fill with water and they're swept downstream. High water also submerges rocks and logs which pose a hidden hazard to those who raft or float the river. Many people believe that once waders become filled with water, the situation is hopeless. Not so! There are several steps a person can take to improve im-prove his chances of survival in such a situation. The first and most important step is to be prepared, both mentally and physically. Luck favors a prepared mind. Mental preparation begins with knowing that the danger exists. The ability to reason could quickly be swept away with Green River water temperatures ranging from a winter low of 39 degrees to a summer high of just 55 degrees. In an emergency, stay calm and follow these steps: the simplest and easiest methods of wader safety is to trap air pickets already in the waders Nurses receive scholarships The Utah Nurses' Foundation, represented by Jean Smith, RN and Dr. Paul Stringham, members of the board, presented scholarships to two Uintah Basin LPNs advancing to the Weber State Registered Nurse program. pro-gram.

Dr. Paul Stringham makes the by drawing the knees toward the chest and allowing the inflated waders to raise to the surface and do the work. Don't fight the current. If the waders fill too quickly, there are still alternatives. alter-natives. Try to remove the waders. Take a deep breath, then submerge and peel the waders off from top to bottom, bot-tom, one leg at a time. By lifting the top of the waders above the surface for a moment, air can be "splashed" into them. When placed between the legs, the inflated waders become an excellent ex-cellent flotation device. A belt placed around the top of the waders can also be effective in trapping air. Swimming in water-filled waders is strenuous but not impossible. Chest waders filled with water weigh only about 12 pounds. The weight, if the swimmer is in good shape, can be handled with effort. Practice these methods in a swimming swim-ming pool with a life guard present so you can know exactly what your abilities are. By knowing what you can do, and being aware and prepared for danger, the Green River will continue to be an exciting and safe place to visit. Officals discuss cuts in nurse education programs The impacts of cuts in higher education nursing programs will impact im-pact the local area and officials are seeking a way to compensate for the cuts.
