Utah will receive $4.4 million in federal drought-relief funds approved ap-proved by President Bush Monday. About $150,000 will go to restore Bottle Hollow Reservoir. The reservoir, reser-voir, a mile west of Fort Duchesne, is just southwest of Bottle Hollow Resort. The funds arc part of a $30 million mil-lion drought-relief package for Western states. Only California received re-ceived more money than Utah. Other participants were Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North and South Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. Large fish used to be produced in the reservoir. The tribe sees their return re-turn as an important step in bringing the reservoir back to where it was years ago. "Bottle Hollow Reservoir has been an important fishery to the Ute Indian Tribe," the federal relief measure stated. "Drought conditions have reduced the water available to Monument begins charging Superintendent Dennis K. Huffman announced last week that Dinosaur National Monument must initiate a fee system for its river Special Use Permits. Huffman stated stat-ed that the fee system, which will begin in 1993, is necessary because Dinosaur National Monument can no longer continue to absorb the un-budgeted un-budgeted costs of the river program. Beginning next year, a $10 application appli-cation fee will be required to process pro-cess each river permit application. Upon issuance of the actual permit, a permit fee of $40 is also required for multi-day trips or $5 for a one- THESE LOCAL youngsters participate in flag next association program for area children will football put on by recreation association.

After seeing a neurologist, Don learned he had Parkinson's disease, a common disorder of the brain that occurs when the part of the nervous system controlling movement, posture, pos-ture, balance, and walking is damaged. dam-aged. Don's doctor prescribed medication medica-tion to help control his symptoms and suggested he join a support group to learn how others cope with the disease. dis-ease. At his suggestion, Don soon attended a local support group meeting. meet-ing. Me was disappointed, however, when he found that most of the group's members were 60 or older, and the discussion seemed relevant only to the elderly. "Before I was diagnosed with Parkinson's, I thought it was a condition condi-tion that only affected older people," he recalls. Don is one of an increasing number num-ber of younger people in the United States who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Although the average age of onset of the disorder is 60 years, today between 50,000 and 100.000 Americans who have this disorder arc between the ages of 20 and 50. Younger Patients Have Different Problems Young parkinsonians are faced with different psychosocial problems than older patients that include worries wor-ries about job security, long-term financial plans, child bearing and family responsibilities, as well as medical and disability insurance. These concerns, combined with his support group experience, prompted Don to organize a group circulate through the reservoir. Loss of circulation has resulted in quality degradation and warming, which has an adverse impact on the reservoir's reser-voir's fishery." It suggests that water from the project would fill the reservoir, restore re-store and maintain the fishery and case effects of the drought. The reservoir was built in the 1970s as part of the Central Utah Project. Curtis Ccsspooch of the Tribal council said it was drained several years ago after gales that had been lightened too hard began leaking. Repairs were made, and slowly but surely the man-made lake is filling, Mr. Duncan said. "It would be great if they federal agencies arc going to help us fill it faster." Plans by the Bureau of Reclamation's (BOR) Upper Colorado Regional Office in Salt Lake City show two alternatives for filling the reservoir. Barry Wirth, regional re-gional public affairs officer, said one concept calls for buying water rights to fill the lake faster. Another approach would line Bench Canal, which carries water from the Uinta day permit from Rainbow Park or Ruple Ranch to Split Mountain. Fees are to be paid by cashiers check or money order and are nonrefundable. non-refundable. River Special Use Permit fees are separate from and in addition to entrance fees. The river fees are the minimum amount necessary to fund the required re-quired Special Use Permit process. These fees will be used to support funding for the administrative needs of the river program as well as to enhance river protection and resource re-source management in the heavily for younger adults with Parkinson's disease. He called it the Young Onset Parkinson's Support Group. The group meets bimonthly at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore to talk about their concerns and share ideas about how to cope with the disease. Topics range from the benefits of exercise to how to tell your employer about your condition. . Don's group is part of the Young Parkinson Support Network, a nationwide support group network established by the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA). Currently, there are 29 support sup-port groups in 22 states. "I think this network really helps us address the common concerns of younger parkinsonians," Don says. "We all need to realize that we've got a lot of assets and that this disease should not stand in our way." Attending support group meetings is only part of the treatment for younger parkinsonians. Proper medication, medi-cation, diet and exercise are also essential. Five years after Don's diagnosis, he leads a virtually normal o ? River to the reservoir. Other projects pro-jects receiving federal financing range from precipitation management manage-ment to drilling wells, pumping water wa-ter and rebuilding dikes. Here is a partial list of those projects: Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge in western Utah will get $105,000; Locomotive Springs Waterfowl Management Area in northwest Utah, $161,000; Stewart Lake, $1.1 million; precipitation management in Utah's north and central mountains, moun-tains, $500,000; Pony Express Wildlife Management Area, $100,000; Weber River $350,000; Bear Lake, $40,000; Parker Mountain in western Wayne County, $100,000; and Desert Lake in southeastern Utah, $35,000. Utah is in the sixth year of serious drought. A precipitation-management program allocates money to be matched by state and local interests. The precipitation-management grant shows winter clouds hold an abundance abun-dance of water that nature doesn't convert to snowfall. It says remote-controlled remote-controlled cloud seeding technology may release that water. for permits used river corridors. The Green and Yampa rivers within Dinosaur National Monument are unique in their wild and scenic grandeur. In order for the National Park Service to administer and protect these magnificent sections sec-tions of river, these fees are inevitable in-evitable and necessary. Applications for 1993 high use permits may be requested after Nov. 30. Applications must be postmarked post-marked by Jan. 15, 1993. Low use, low water and one day permits may be requested beginning March 1, 1993. mm life with the help of drugs like Sinemet (carbidopalevodopa) and Eldepryl (selegiline hydrochloride). Don is also enrolled in PROPATH, a program for Parkinson's disease patients that helps them take control of their disease. Members receive free informational booklets on Parkinson's disease and quarterly self-assessment questionnaires that address diet, exercise, treatment regimens regi-mens and daily coping issues. Information from these questionnaires question-naires is being compiled into the largest Parkinson's disease data base available, which may soon be used by researchers to find a cure for the disease. Know the Symptoms Abraham Lieberman, M.D., chief of the Movement Disorders Section of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Ariz., says that Americans Ameri-cans must be aware of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease so they can recognize if a family member or friend is displaying them and may need to consult a physician. Primary symptoms of the disease include stiffness, tremor, slowness of movement, move-ment, and difficulty with balance and walking. "Early diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease are important in giving the patient more control over the disease," he said. "Because Don was diagnosed early, he is now able to take control of his life through support groups, medications, and programs like PROPATH."
