Mike Leavitt and University of Utah President Arthur Smith. "It's great news," Leavitt said of a vote by physicists in Argentina. "It's kind of a scientific scientif-ic version of the Olympics.... It's a great compliment we've been paid by the scientific community and the world." Smith, whose school will operate oper-ate the observatory in westcentral Utah, called the decision "absolutely wonderful news. I'm absolutely delighted." The Pierre Auger Project will involve construction of twin observatories - at a total cost of $100 million - to search for the puzzling source of high-energy cosmic rays, which are the most energetic particles in the universe. An international team of Utah senators remain frustrated SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A Saturday meeting with Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt left Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett frustrated and without answers about a possible 1.8 million-acre national monument in southern Utah. After meeting in Washington with Babbitt for about two hours, the two Republican lawmakers said they had no more information informa-tion about the proposed monument monu-ment in the coal-rich Kaiparowits Plateau than when they began. "(Babbitt) said the purpose of the meeting to give us a chance to tell him our concerns. We thought the purpose ... was to have him give us some information." Bennett said. The senators asked for specifics on the monument's boundaries, water rights, the status sta-tus of state school trust lands, state parks, roads and highways and, Bennett said, got the same answer: "I don't know." A happy researchers last year chose El Nihuil, near Mendoza, Argentina, as the site of the Southern Hemisphere observatory. During a meeting Friday in nearby San Rafael, the team picked Utah as the Northern Hemisphere site over competing sites near Juarez, Mexico, and in western Spain. Utah's hexagon-shaped site is located south of Delta and west of Fillmore. Construction would begin no sooner than 1998 and take three years. Next up for the observatory: Convincing the U.S. government and universities to contribute at least half the $50 million cost -and getting hundreds of farmers and ranchers owning 20 percent of the site to allow installation of cosmic-ray detectors in their fields. The state owns 5 percent of the land and the other 75 percent is federal Bureau of Land Management property. Babbitt also said he did not know whether President Clinton, who has scheduled a Wednesday news conference at the Grand Canyon, would use the occasion to declare formation of the monument. monu-ment. Under the White House proposal, pro-posal, Clinton could invoke a little-used 1906 federal law to make the land a national monument, the same law used to create the Grand Canyon National Park. "If they designated it with idea of closing down to future development develop-ment the state lands and school lands, it would cost the state billions bil-lions and billions of dollars," said Hatch. The state school trust lands alone are worth up to $1 billion, Utah's senior senator said. Earlier, in a Friday letter to Bennett, Babbitt had suggested the trust lands be swapped out from the monument site. Bennett said when asked about the trust lands on Saturday, Specialty Store At the Resort Center 649-2002 Hours: Daily 12-5 about "We have a long road ahead to get this thing funded and built, and it won't be easy," University of Utah physicist Paul Sommers said by telephone from Argentina. "But everybody here is confident." confi-dent." Smith said the University Research Association - a consortium consor-tium of the U of U and 85 other universities - will seek $25 million from the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy. Leavitt said to help obtain federal fed-eral funding, he will "make certain that the scientific community and Congress know the importance of this, not just to our state but to the scientific world." As for permission from private landowners, "if we treat them fair, Utahns will go along," the governor gover-nor said. Utah already is famous for cosmic cos-mic ray research at the Fly's Eye though, Babbitt was noncommittal. noncommit-tal. "This is an appalling way to do business," the senator said. "What if Jim Watt, the notorious right wing secretary of the Interior had been involved in the creation of the largest national monument in Arizona while Bruce Babbitt was governor of Arizona? He'd be demanding specifics." The proposal was first publicized publi-cized a week ago, and immediately immediate-ly drew fire from Utah political and education leaders the latter especially concerned with the fate of almost 200,000 acres of coal-rich coal-rich school trust lands in the region. State Office of Education school trust lands specialist Margaret Bird was skeptical of Babbitt's suggestion of a land swap. The state's schools have received no money or land swap for the 200,000 acres of trust lands Resort for sate? JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) The ownership own-ership of Grand Targhee Ski Resort may change hands. Mori Bergmeyer confirmed this week that he was negotiating a deal. He said a deal was close but refused to elaborate. "When the time is right, I will let you know," Bergmeyer said. Carol Mann and Bergmeyer bought the resort from the Big Valley Corp in 1988. The couple divorced and agreed on a formula to divide the proceeds from any sale. Targhee National Forest officials offi-cials have to be notified of significant signifi-cant ownership changes to the resort on the west slope of the Tetons near Alta.

That observato-' ry now is being expanded into what is called the High Resolution Fly's Eye. The observatory provides a big' boost to the University of Utah's reputation, which was harmed by' the cold-fusion debacle of 1989' and by earlier exaggerated claims for the artificial heart. "It hopefully will bury cold fusion in ancient history," said Richard Koehn, the university's vice president for research. "Enormous scientific distinction' will be created from this, and sig-' nificant international visibility in the scientific community." Smith added: "If there were any questions of the scientific reputation rep-utation of the University of Utah -' and there haven't been for years -' it will put all those questions to rest." already part of national parks, monuments, forests and Indian reservations, she said. "(The lands) are all tied up and we're able to do zero," Bird said. "Would you extend credit to someone like that?" The federal government did swap for 18,000 acres of Canyonlands land in 1965 after that national park was created. And, Congress in 1993 passed the Utah Schools and Lands Improvement Act, a mechanism , to evaluate and compensate for school trust lands. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, which strongly favors the monument idea, would not oppose a land swap of trust lands if it didn't hold up the monument designation, said spokesman Ken Rait. "We recognize that (the trust lands are) an issue that would-have would-have to be resolved," he said. "I'm confident that we can work , out an amenable exchange." Silker said expected documents about the deal were not received and scheduled meeting were cancelled can-celled with those involved. "Apparently, it's not a done deal," he said. Silker said if all or part of the resort is sold, the parties have to provide documents and the agency will determine whether the permit must be transferred. The buyer's financial ability also may be investigated inves-tigated and a close-out audit performed, per-formed, he said. Bergmeyer's negotiations come after failed attempts to exchange private land for ownership of the federal land at the base of the ski area. Neighboring residents said Bergmeyer's plan would promote too much growth. |
