Land by the Interior took the Forest Service land out of contention, and left the Paiutes back at square one. The new proposal would include only BLM land, and should elimanate any conflicts with farmers and ranchers in the two counties. The Paiutes were granted the right to a new reservation following a recent Congressional move that restored their tribal status lost in 1954 under the U.S. Termanation Act. The original request included- Forest Service land in Sevier County that would We would still like to get Forest Service land, said Dee Wilcox, field representative from the Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Cedar City, But weve been told to look at BLM land instead. We have started the selection process all over again, and its going to be a long procedure.

Paints ridden by Darrel Huntsman and Dwayne Gilbert were tabbed the best overall in the senior horse category, while The Brunsons took second and Wes Curtis grabbed third. In the junior horse, The Emery Riding Club stood first, the Pony Pulling Cart was second, and third place honors went to the Ann Sunneshaw children. After Emery Mining pulled out of the judging voluntarily, the field for the best float was wide open. The judges decisions found Castle Dale Second Ward YMYW first, Castle Dale Third Ward YMYW second, and the Castle Dale First Ward Primary, third. The most humorous tloat honors went to Johns Construction, with the Castle Dale Second Ward Elders taking a close, but dubious, second place. The Jansen Children, on entry number 18, swept the judging for the best childrens float, while the Castle Valley Pageant surrey pulled in second. Brett Denhalter, David and Stephanie Archibald and Shane Cox combined their talents to take home a third. Some 201 coal mine employees in Carbon and Emery counties have been put out of work since Friday as two large mining companies announced extensive cutbacks. Valley Camp of Utah, which operates a mine near Scofield, announced layoffs of 89 union miners and 12 management personnel Tuesday, a workforce reduction of about 30 percent. The announcement comes on the heels of a Friday cutback at Consolidation Coal Co. in Emery which idled about 100 miners, amounting to 40 percent of the mines personnel. Walter Wright, vice president over operations at Valley Camp, said today would be the last day for the hapless workers in his firm. Wright blamed the layoffs on an unfavorable coal market. The mines largest buyer is Utah Power & Light Co., but Wright said the cutback was necessitated by the April 1 termination of an anticipated contract with a Japanese buyer. The Japanese contract would have resulted in the sale of about 200,000 tons of coal a year, he said. Since then, the firm has not been nine months a year, weekly each until 10 p.m. Several students have been in all 12 revues. LaRae also traveled to Green River once a week for four years, teaching classes there and having four revues. She still gets calls for help with specialized dances, costumes, and dancers at events such as Melon Days. The money raised from the revues each year goes to a sponsoring organization needing funds.

Active in dancing at a very young age, she took every instruction available to develop her attending skills; and still does dance caravans and clinics in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City each year, gymnastics and tumbling clinics, and certified aerobics clinics.

Even though she has many y y a !;;; - time resident of Huntington, LaRae Majors, has been chosen as an outstanding citizen in Emery County and will take her place in the group that will march in the Emery County Fair Parade. LaRae has been many things to many people, said Sylvia Nelson, ECFB representative. A heroine to a father who just lost one tiny tap shoe, a miracle worker to a mother of six who wonders how she handles a class of 20 so patiently, a sweetheart of many a little boy trying so hard to please her within-a new tumbling trick, a fun structor soon turned into a loving friend and confidant to little and big girls alike, and a blessing to her family and friends. When you stop to count, LaRae Majors has probably touched and influenced the lives of as many people of Huntington and Emery County in the past 12 years as anyone and more than most. From the time she and Jethro A long py-- , An m c Huntington woman is named to outstanding citizens list Valley Camp is a subsidiary of Market conditions also necessitated the layoffs at Consolidation, according to Paul Kvederis, public LaRae is currently a member of the Emery County Chamber of Commerce. She has been a member of the National Association of Dance Affiliated Artists for 11 years, a member of the U.S. Gymnastic Federation for seven years, and a member of Utah Tumbling Association for seven years and secretary of UTA for one year. Going over LaRaes itinerary for the past year, makes one realize she has to be in excellent physical and mental condition to do all she does, driving thousands of miles, usually Saturdays, sometimes away whole weekends and most times with a van full of happy, excited children or giggling teenage girls. She truly loves this work that is a series of stress and deadlines day after day.

Neither spokesman was certain how long the reductions would last. The cutbacks continue a trend which began last March when Emery Mining Corp. announced it was laying off 200 workers at its Wilberg Mine near Orangeville. Emery Mining officials say they are allowing attrition to eliminate even more positions, although they anticipate no additional layoffs in the forseeable future. In May, U.S. Steels Horse Canyon Mine laid off 30 workers after it had cut back to a three-daweek in April. In February, a soft coal market prompted Coastal States Energy Corp. to delay construction of the second phase of its Skyline Mines near Scofield. y Bonds sold practicers When your kids are involved, easy to stay involved with them, says LaRae who tries to take in games and activities of her kids, the students shes kind of grown up with. LaRae started specializing by forming LaMajorettes, an exclusive dance club, that encouraged interested and talented students to polish and perfect in order to belong and remain in the its class. The Studio Gym Spinners have 2 meets per year; local, prestate, and state meets involving 0 students in tumbling and 10-1- 35-5- gymnastics competition. Five, years ago, the SGS began tumbling competition in the UTA. At that time, there were only seven teams; this year there were 21. The SGS also competes at the San Rafael Meet, Utah Jr. Championships, and other invitational meets.

UP&Ls board of directors approved terms and conditions for the bond sale, which will generate funds for upgrading pollution control in the plants third unit. An underwriting group led by Goldman, Sachs Co. negotiated for 13.5 purchase of the bonds. The percent group bid $99.25 per $100 principal amount, resulting in a net annual cost to the company of 13.99 percent. The 30-ye- bonds will be reoffered to the public to yield 13.590 percent.
