Bob Bennett (R-Utah) in the Senate has been signed into law by President Clinton. The bill will provide the Bureau of Reclamation crucial new powers to control levels of salinity in the Colorado River. The legislation that provides new authorities to the Bureau of Reclamation to enter into a more flexible program for salinity control in the Colorado River is one of the first bills signed into law this year. The House recently passed the legislation leg-islation pushed by Congressman Hansen earlier this month. The Bureau of Reclamation has long sought the authority to increase its spending ceiling in order to fulfill its role and obligation obliga-tion to remove the needed salts from the Colorado River" system Congressman Hansen commented, comment-ed, "I am pleased to see the president presi-dent recognize the importance of this measure. Control of the level of salinity in the Colorado River is crucial to everyone that depends upon the Colorado River. As the level of salinity increases, water becomes unstable for agriculture and human consumption. people that depend upon the river. The signing of this legislation into law will assure that the Bureau of Reclamation has the flexibility to accomplish their goals in a cost-effective cost-effective manner." Hansen concluded, "This is an effort that has taken several years to pass.

Two state agencies have received a federal grant to monitor the green house gases that may cause global warming The Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Air Quality and the Department of Natural Resources' Office of Energy and Resource Planning will identify the sources of greenhouse gas emissions during the project's first phase. "The inventory will allow us to identify the sources of greenhouse gases and determine the amounts that are being released in Utah," said Brock LeBaron, Division of Air Quality technical analysis manager. "During the next two phases of the project we'll be eligible for grants to help us prepare greenhouse gas action plans and to implement pilot projects to evaluate those plans." The gases build up in the atmosphere and trap the sun's energy, potential ly causing global changes in weather patterns. Effects could include changes in rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, potential droughts, habitat loss and heat stress. The most common greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and The initial grant was for $29,000. Utah would be eligible for up to $100,000 in Phase Two and an additional $125,000 in Phase Three. The grant was provided by the Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Change Division. "We will be joining with other states to broaden the amount of information informa-tion available on the amounts and sources of greenhouse gases emitted in the United States," LeBaron said. Air Quality will do most of the research during dur-ing the first phase, assisted by Energy and Resource Planning which will also prepare the report. The inventory should be completed by June 30, 1996. Varicose veins may be more than unsightly Varicose veins, those purple "spiders" "spi-ders" and lines that crop up under the skin, are not only unsightly they may also cause chronic pain. ramen chicken steaks tempura sushi state liquor license large parties fresh fish available Remember us for all your catering needs Personal Chef Available Ready to cook barbeque orders available Take.

John Harris, Jr., assistant professor pro-fessor of surgery at Stanford University Medical Center. "About 25 percent of the U.S. population have symptoms from varicose veins," Harris explains. "Many people have been living with low-level aching in the lower extremities for so long that they no longer identify their chronic discomfort dis-comfort as pain. It just makes simple sim-ple daily activities, such as shopping shop-ping or working, an uncomfortable chore," he adds. "You can often relieve the leg discomfort arising from varicose veins by elevating the legs above the level of the heart while lying flat. In addition, regular support stockings may offer some relief from the aching, since they restrict or prevent the overstretching of the veins that causes the discomfort," Harris says. If support hose do not relieve the discomfort, elasticized support (compression) stockings, sold in medical supply stores and drug stores, can prevent pooling of blood in the lower extremities when sitting sit-ting or standing. If compression stockings don't relieve the discomfort or swelling, it's probably time for a doctor's examination, Harris says. Medical treatment can include a minor surgical procedure that blocks the flow of blood through the enlarging veins, or an injection procedure that blocks the smaller veins that are causing the problem. Blood is thereby diverted to other, healthier veins, and the pain should decline, Harris says. Varicose veins primarily affect people in middle age or above, "but we see the condition in virtually all age groups, from 14 years on up,' says Harris. Wear and tear on the limbs appear to be major causes, he says. Some people are genetically prone to developing the condition at an early age, while others may never develop noticeable varicose veins, he says. Participants needed for colon cancer study Researchers at the University of Utah School of Medicine are seeking seek-ing men and women, ages 50-80, to participate in the study of a drug which may help prevent colon cancer. can-cer. Colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death. It affects more than 150,000 Americans each year, killing about half of those diagnosed with the disease. In Utah, more than 500 people are diagnosed with colon cancer annually. Through frequent and proper screenings, colon cancer can-cer can be prevented. At the first screening visit, candidates can-didates will receive a free sigmoidoscopy, sigmoi-doscopy, a procedure which usual ly costs around $450 and is not covered by most insurance companies. compa-nies. If polyps are found, the individual indi-vidual will be admitted into the study. During the one-year study, participants par-ticipants will receive free medication, medica-tion, follow-up visits, laboratory tests and reimbursement for time and travel. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study is sponsored spon-sored by the National Cancer Institute and approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The drug used in the study, Clinoril, is an anti-inflammatory drug currently used in arthritis patients. Researchers are hopeful that Clinoril will cause the regres sion of polyps in the colon and, possibly, prevent them from developing. devel-oping. Bowel polyps are usually benign; however, when they become too large or increase in number, they can be precursors to colon cancer. "This study holds great promise for the reduction in both the size and number of polyps," said James A. DiSario, M.D., assistant professor profes-sor in the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. "The drug has the potential poten-tial to prevent the formation of polyps in the bowel altogether.": To find out if you qualify for the study, contact Rachel Dawson or Jason Davis, 581-5036. Deer Valley expands facilities A $7 million axpansion to the Snow Park Lodge will be completed prior to opening of the 1995-96 ski season, scheduled for Dec. 2.
