This summer from Aug. 11 to 16 they will spend six days dancing and performing in St. George, Las Vegas, and Zions Park. The studio is pleased to announce a very successful year of competing and performing. per-forming. This past year Charisma dancers have per izzlisig fir D DiteEr More than 125 regional scientists and stake holders analyzed ice-core and tree-ring tree-ring data, historical weather records, climate patterns and levels of carbon dioxide to conclude what many have already decided: the West is getting hotter. ; "Recorded temperatures since the middle of the nineteenth nine-teenth century show an abrupt rise, exceeding levels seen in the preceding thousand thou-sand years," said Fred Wagner, Wag-ner, Utah Sate University researcher and principal investigator for the nine-state Rocky MountainGreat Basin region, part of Congressio-nally Congressio-nally mandated assessment of climate change on the United States. "The data seems to indicate indi-cate that gradually rising temperatures during the previous century will accelerate acceler-ate in this century due to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, Wagner said. "Whether the West will become dryer or wetter is still up for debate, and will require continued tracking. The region could see more precipitation or more sever drought. "We don't have enough data to predict with certainty." certain-ty." Wagner said. According to the study, Great Basin and Rocky Mountain snow packs provide pro-vide 85 of the surface water used by cities, industry, indus-try, agriculture, recreation and hydropower.

The shortage is exacerbated by ground water that's being polluted an drained faster than it's being recharged, higher temperatures tempera-tures leading to massive evaporation in existing dams, and increasing demands by urban users, the report states.

"If the massive natural and human-made hydrology systems that sustain municipalities, munici-palities, farms and ecosystems ecosys-tems were to see significant changes, there would be serious social, economic and ecological impacts." he said. Northern and western areas in the nine-state region saw annual precipitation and river floors increase during the last century, with increases increas-es occurring mostly in early summer, the report stated.

A particularly vulnerable area is the heavily populated Wasatch Front in Utah. The nearby Great Salt Lake may rise to historic levels, causing caus-ing extensive flooding. Arid southern states are seeing changes, too, with hotter, dryer conditions. A burgeoning population, according to Wagner, compounds com-pounds the problem. In recent decated the West have been the fastest growing region in the United States, filling up with new homes, heat-retaining blacktop and water guzzling lawns. Whatever the future holds, scientists say, it will feature more extreme weather. weath-er. That could wreck havoc for economies, natural ecosystems, eco-systems, agriculture and water management systems. According to the study, insect outbreaks similar to those seen in the last several years may become more problematic. Continued drought would hasten the decline of communities based on livestock ranching. Some climatologists predict the disappearance of the ski industry and associated tourism. tour-ism. Dams could fail under the onslaught of heavy spring runoff or high flows. Drought also leads to he invasion of cheatgrass and other non-native species on public lands, which fuels hotter, more frequent fires, said Wagner. Nevada has lost a fifth of its sagebrush to cheatgrass, and highly combustible com-bustible fires may prevent its return. mass UDOTneivs The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises motorists of the following roadwork along Interstate 15 from north Lehi to the Salt LakeUtah County line. Aug. 8 - Aug. 11. Southbound South-bound 1-15 will be restricted to two lanes at the S.R. 92 interchange (Exit 287) from 8 p.m. Friday until 3 p.m. Monday afternoon for bridge work. During the work, travel will be further restricted restrict-ed to one lane between midnight mid-night and 5 a.m. Signs and other traffic control devices will be posted to guide motorists through the construction zone. Speeds will be reduced and motorists should expect heavy delays. Motorists may use the frontage roads on the east and west sides of 1-15 as alternates. To access the frontage roads, motorists should use the following interchanges: for southbound traffic, use the Bluffdale interchange (Exit 291 to avoid the lane restrictions. ' UDOT encourages motorists motor-ists to use caution and travel at the posted speed limits while driving through work zones.
