Expansion plans and new director for UBATC The marketable skills students acquire ac-quire at the Uintah Basin Area Technical Center "give them the edge when it comes to employment," employ-ment," said Mark Rose, new UBATC director. "We tend to forget 80 percent of our kids don't graduate from a four-year four-year institution," Rose said. The UBATC provides an alternate way , for students to acquire the skills they need to make a living. Rose is from Kamas and has ex-' ex-' perience as regional vocational education edu-cation director for North Summit, South Summit, Park City and Rich School Districts. He said he has worked with former UBATC director direc-tor Kciih Bcrgquist and hopes to do as good a job as him, adding, "I'm very happy to be here." As the center's new director, Rose said he doesn't plan to make any major changes, except for expansion. expan-sion. Construction may begin this spring on the Roosevelt building if the 22,000 square-foot expansion proposal goes through committee at the legislature, said Rose. Rose said he is also looking forward for-ward to the Vernal program's move into the Ashion's Energy Center this December, which will be in cooperation cooper-ation with USU Continuing Education Center.

With the new building, "we'll have twice as much space as we had in the old building," Rose said. Additional classrooms will mean a larger selection of classes available. avail-able. Courses in child care, computers comput-ers and business at high demand in the Uintah Basin have been ' added for residents to take advantage advan-tage of. Besides a variety of courses, cours-es, the UBATC offers concurrent enrollment to high school students. Some courses offered will not only fulfill high school requirements but arc also transferable as college credit. "Kids can come out of high school with 40 credits and pay only $15 per credit," said Rose, "that is a major savings from what you would pay on campus." Students may also take courses while in high school and receive a certificate of completion from the UBATC. Courses are short-term but intensive, said Rose, lasting from a few weeks to one quarter. "Our training gives students the skills industry in-dustry wants," he said. Although courses such as dicscl mechanics, marketing, graphic arts, business and health occupations arc taught at the high school, they arc open to the public as well as high school students, Rose said.

Plans for expanding the program to other species are underway. Welcome Center to open Sept. 13 Colorado's newest welcome center cen-ter at Dinosaur, Colo, will open Thursday, Sept. 13 as state and county officials will attend a special dedication ceremony. The Welcome Center will be the fifth to open in Colorado since June 1986. Others currently operating arc in Burlington, Cortcz, Fruita and Trinidad. "Colorado's Welcome Centers arc an extremely important part of the CTB's program to promote tourism in the state," said Rich Meredith, executive director of the CTB. The Center hosted more than 500,000 visitors in 19S9, and research shows that many people who stop for a little lit-tle Colorado hospitality arc likely to stay an extra two days in the state." The Welcome Centers arc stocked with brochures from attractions throughout the suite, enticing visitors visi-tors to extend their trip and Center personnel arc available to distribute the information literature, provulc route asMsunce, answer questions and make sure all visitors receive a warm ft iendly greeting.

While most of the areas the biologists biolo-gists have transplanted birds to arc new, some of these areas have known previous chukar populations. "Chukar, like most of our upland game species, are sensitive to both heavy snowfalls and extreme cold," Greenwood said. The winters of '83 and '84 greatly reduced chukar populations in the basin and statewide. In some areas the chukar populations were lost completely or the birds survived in small isolated pockets. "Generally, winter In the Uintah Basin is rather cold for chukar, sj wc need to pkk the habitat carefully. careful-ly.

Artificial deer simulators have been used for several years to test illegal night activity in areas nationwide, nation-wide, said Davis, and have been used in the Basin area for two years. The simulators, placed on the mountain after dark by officers, are made of materials ranging from cardboard to actual stuffed deer. Green tape is placed over the eyes, providing the bright glow hunters instantly spot at night. Davis noted that even though the simulators aren't lifelike in daylight, "some night shooters are ready to shoot anything with eyes." Poachers often get so caught up in shooting, they develop 'tunnel vision,' vi-sion,' he said, explaining when people peo-ple are too intent on shooting their prey, they aren t aware of what is i around them. And because , the eyes that poachers aim . may well belong to a horse, cow other animal. "We hope to stop indiscriminate night Davis said. Problems ! these make the sport not on ly illegal but dangerous.

"We don't set them up (the simulators) in high-traffic places or times," he said. Davis said he doesn't consider setting simulators up to be 'playing dirty or entrapment, but rather a means to catching poachers without killing actual deer. "If someone shoots a decoy, they mean to shoot the real thing," he said. Surprisingly, Wildlife Resource officers of-ficers have found that between 50-75 50-75 of the traffic passing the simulators simu-lators stop and shoot at it. "When people get caught, they are very humble," said Teeguardcn. It's embarrassing. They can't believe they shot at a simulator." Teeguarden and Davis both pointed out the irony that all of the poachers caught said they had heard about simulators being planted. When a poacher is caught, a citation cita-tion is issued to the court charging the person with taking wildlife by aid of artificial light, and a judge decides the fate of the individual. "Under normal circumstances, the weapon is seized and the disposition disposi-tion of the weapon is left up to the court," Davis said. "And besides a fine, the person may lose his big game license privilege from 1-5 years." Davis said he feels the simulators have been working to deter after dark hunting. "If we can get people to even just hesitate and wonder if the deer is real or a simulator, that may be enough time for the deer to escape," he said, "but if we can deter de-ter it (illegal hunting) we're belter off."
