Show THE HERALD. Provo. Utah. Pape 4 Monday. Mav 11, 1984 Scuba Divers Find Basin Cleaning Dirty Job By PAT CHRISTIAN Herald Staff Writer "It's a dirty job; a mess." real This is how police captain Duane Fraser described the job of cleaning debris from an important flood retention basin at Slate Canyon Saturday and Sunday. Debris restricted an outlet system, so scuba divers from Provo Police Department's mountain rescue team were asked to dive into the muddy water and remove the blockage so a normal flow could be restored. It was all underwater work because the outlet was located below the surface near the bottom of the retention basins dam. Strong suction had pulled debris over a debris grate. non-floati- Provo City crews first closed the and the divers went flow-contr- ol valve "There is zero visibility down there so you just hold onto the pipe and follow it down to the grate and then start removing the debris," said Fraser. deMost of the bris consists of wood that has been in the water so long it has become waterlogged Fra- non-floati- ser claims. Divers from the mountain rescue team include Duane Fraser, Kip Man waring, Tim Myer, Greg Cram. Mark West and Greg Duvall. As long as the water in the retention basin is high, the debris job is a daily operation. But Fraser said the basin is lowering and divers may not have to do the dirty job today. "It's getting almost empty, but we noticed that it's running a lot of mud, indicating that the runoff might be picking up again." Fraser said most of the low snow found on the slopes that face the valley is melted, but is still high snow that must drain through Slate Canretention basyon and into the ins. The Slate Canyon retention basin system consists of three basins. City crews have tried to keep the two lower basins empty by running water down Provo' s 300 South Street. By doing this the two lower basins can be used to temporarily store peak runoff from melts and then in basins the drain melting periods. The divers have been working with the outlet that drains there re the middle basin into the lower basin. Dennii Patterson Pbotof i some of the debris that restricted an important outlet Saturday. Divers at Slate Canyon discuss By ROGER D. PLOTHOW Herald Staff Writer Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kem Gardner says Utah teachers weren't given enough time to study career ladder programs, so he proposes a major change in the way the concept is Governor Candidate Proposes Changing School Career Ladder implemented this year. In a letter to Oscar McConkie, chairman of the State Board of Education, Gardner, who is also chairman of the State Board of Regents, blames the state legislature for putting "educators under severe pressure to produce reform without providing the means to do so." Gardner suggests making career ladder programs provisional this year, making this first year a "pilot year" to experiment with the idea. "This will allow time for better teacher input into the proposals and give educators and the public the opportunity to look at the plans and see which ones work best before we lock into any one idea." It would also allow educators time to lobby the state legislature job. debris-cleanin- g for increased funding for education reform, he said. The state school board required school districts to submit proposals for career ladder programs by May 15. Each district was given a proportionate share of $15 million allocated by the state legislature to carry out the program. The Governor's Steering Committee for Educational Reform, on which both Gardner and McConkie served, recommended $41 million to fund career ladder programs statewide. "My visits with hundreds of teachers throughout the state have convinced me that the tight time schedule prohibited substantial teacher input (in the career program)," Gardner wrote. "Many districts felt that the involvement of a few teachers on the oversight committees provided sufficient participation. I disagree. I hold that nothing short of actual ratification by the teachers at the district level will constitute 'clear and substantial evidence of their participation' which you require." Gardner says he has also spoken to Lee Burningham, state public school superintendent, regarding his proposal.
