For the students, who attend school from April 15 to November 27, a year-long course translates to studying environmental systems three hours a day, five days a week, for 48 days. That translates to 144 days of study, which is a year in the education industry. The school began five years ago to serve students who also compete com-pete professionally in winter sports. Head of School Bonnie Bower said the six students spent the first "half of their year studying from a text book. The second "half of the course took them out into the field -quite a few fields, to be accurate. accu-rate. "The have worked in Oakley with the State Department of Water Resources," Bower said. The students were helping put together the baseline study recently submitted to Governor Mike Leavitt, who last week announced a conservation easement for the five-mile strip of land that runs along the Weber River Corridor adjoined by land protected by the Utah Open Lands program. They also have visited a "mystery" ranch near Nine Mile Canyon to study the differences dif-ferences between holistic and public grazing practices and their effects on land. The location loca-tion of the ranch is being kept a mystery, according to Fisher, because the long-time owner of the 4,200-acre Carbon County Some Yellowstone wolves are moved away from cattle Gardiner, Mont. (AP) Two Yellowstone National Park wolves who wandered too far away from home and too close to some cattle cat-tle were tranquilized Monday and returned to acclimation pens in the park. Federal wolf managers captured cap-tured a yearling male and female wolf from the Nez Perce pack early Monday morning, said Betsy Melin, who runs livestock in an area between Elbow and Mill creeks in the Paradise Valley. Park spokeswoman Stacy Churchwell said the wolves arrived at the Rose Creek pen at about 9 a.m. Mike Philips, one of the lead wolf managers in the Yellowstone reintroduction project, invited the Melins to get a closer look at the predators, after they were cap III .

She said the land has no noxious weeds, like the thistles or dyer's woad that infest many areas of Utah including Park City where the land has been overused, scraped or otherwise damaged. Bower also said differences dif-ferences between stream bank conditions in the two areas is almost indescribable. In addition to their studies at the ranch, the students have learned to do bio-mass calculations calcula-tions and water analysis in various vari-ous locations. Bower chuckles when she talks about her students' stu-dents' impressions of the class before and after being a part of it. She said they thought it would be a "dorky" environmental environ-mental science class. "They found out it was about actual environmental systems, then they began realizing how much they were learning," Bower said. "We've talked a lot about environmental issues," Fisher said. "But for these kids to actually see the difference between holistic and public grazing practices is phenomenal." phenome-nal." Fisher said the students have learned that environmental issues are not just 'black and white.' "A lot of people simply want to blame ranchers or the public for ruining land or putting a burden on resources," she said. "It's not that simple." tured about 30 miles north of Gardiner. Melin declined the invitation. "I told him we've already been close, like 10 feet away," she said. Wolf managers plan to reunite the captured wolves with their mother, who is raising a litter of five cubs in the Stillwater drainage. But they want to wait another six weeks or so until the now two-month-old cubs are old enough to be captured with foot traps, Churchwell said. At that time, the female wolf and her cubs also will be taken to the Rose Creek pen, to make it easier for her to raise her cubs. The Nez Perce pack was originally origi-nally released from their acclimation acclima-tion pen on April 2, but unlike other packs, almost immediately dispersed.

If she prevails with her specifications specifi-cations on purchasing "pre-cycled" "pre-cycled" materials, Morrison is hoping other, even, larger, event organizers will follow the lead that will be set. "Any major event could follow suit," she said. "And this the Park City Art Festival is a tiny event compared to the Olympics." Apart from the 2002 Olympics, Morrison is hoping promoters of, for example, Wolf Mountain-based Mountain-based events will incorporate the ideas of pre-and recycling when they organize concerts.

"We are very pleased with the terms of the settlement," said Robert S. Clark, attorney for the suit's 13 plaintiffs. Clark refused Monday to detail the settlement, except to say that it involved money and it was "well more than a token amount." The remainder of the suit, against the National Park Service, goes to trial Friday in U.S. District Court. David Fleischer, 28, and Leroy Kim Ellis, 37, drowned July 15, 1993, while leading a group of five teen boys of the Riviera Ward of The Church of Latter-day Saints through the narrow water-filled canyon on the park's northern boundary. The suit has been brought by the men's wives, seven children one of whom was on the hike and four other surviving Do you use QuickBooksin your business or home? . Do you have Questions?

The license she referred to is similar to a food handler's permit in that it sets out its own specifications of conditions condi-tions that must be met, in this case, by the organizer of an event. The new approach is something some-thing Morrison tried last year with the art festival. She said Recycle Utah ran into barriers at that time. This year, she said is different differ-ent because the "economics of recycling are twice as complicated this year as last year. This year, it's something we really need to work on. , Morrison said that although Recycle Utah will not stage a recycling program at the art festival, festi-val, the organization does plan to have a display booth that further explains the pre-cycling concept.

Dixon said that since the Jordanelle State Park opened, most of his visitors come from Provo and Orem. "Jordanelle's taken most of our Salt Lake City visitors," he said.. hike members. The suit alleges the NPS and water district were negligent negli-gent in the deaths because they failed to adequately warn the group of high-water conditions in Kolob Canyon. Robert G. Wright, attorney for the water district,- would not say whether his client admitted responsibility or negligence in the men's deaths. "The total terms of the settlement settle-ment agreement are confidential at this point," he said. Wright and Clark said the terms of the settlement may be released following the end of the trial before U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Greene. The plaintiffs claim that the park employee who issued a back-country back-country permit for the expedition did not explain the dangers of trekking down Kolob Creek Canyon, which is fed by an upstream reservoir operated by the water district. While the section sec-tion of the creek where Fleischer and Ellis drowned is outside park boundaries, the group needed a backcountry permit to camp overnight in the park. RENOWNED HYPNOTIST |
