Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday February 6, 1985 - Page 12 if this is Nielson nominates two youth to academies Third District Congressman Howard Nielson has nominated two youth from San Juan County to military academies. If accepted, both will begin training in July. Clinton John Pincock, son of Richard and Renee Pincock of Blanding, has been nominated to United the States Military in West Academy Point, New In my recent research of local history I have talked to several hale and hearty men in their late 70's who were involved with uranium. Like Ken Palmer of Blanding, truck driver, in the days when a 10 ton truck of uranium had to have half the ore shoveled off before crossing the San Juan River bridge, the second half to be dumped in front of Ray Hunt's store, back to reload the first five ton, across again to reload the whole batch. Like Floyd Newport who showed me samples of uranium ore he's had in his house for 20 years, plus some processed stuff called "yellow cake''. And Ray and Grace Hunt who lived with remains of ore dumped in their front yard. And Seth Bigman who worked his own mines, Starlight and Moonlight. Why, then, I asked Mr. Hines, all this complex and expensive routine over bits of remaining uranium? it could be dangerous," Mr. Hines said. Well. Mine not to reason why, I guess. I forgot it all by escaping into the back country last week-a- id with Joyce Martin and A1 Frost, up Hart's Draw. Words fail me. How to describe the magnificience of those mammoth masses of stone carved into shapes of beauty by the greatest sculptor of all? That awesome arch of red sandstone towering above the cave, giant sentinels of rock standing guard on a ridge just below? Why do I never learn to avoid with San Juan County hikes natives? First, they start a trek by driving for a couple of hours over one of those sem Bingo! Again action at Head Start center when Wayne Elrod, Janice Frank, and Jean Cly put out the cards and com kernels as a fund raising project.

Again we thought we had escaped Mud Monsters when we saw them. Well, there are some things worse than a little mud. Martin Yazzie and Herman Nez, Jr., from Red Lake and Alvin James, Dennehotso, rolled their car on Highway 163 escaping with minor injuries. And on Douglas Mesa Road, Raymond Chief and Jack Rock tried to claim the same place in space at the same time; result fender bender. Marlene Allen Begay up from to visit parents, Greasewood Robert and Pauline Tsosie. Phone call from Keith Hines, Jacobs Engineering, of Albuquerque, regarding needed conference with localNavajos regarding plans for containing uranium tailings piles at Halchita and VCA. Analysis of the site at Halchita has been in process since early fall and tax payers often wonder blances of a trail locals call a jeep road. It is not considered good taste to make a new road and clutter up the landscape, but that's ok. There is no place where some Utahan has not put his head down and plowed doggedly through impassable terrain (Elephant Hill road could exist A return trip only in Utah). in the dark on one of these so called roads requires all aboard to climb out and scout around, sniffing like bird dogs to find the tracks. Nothingto get excited about. SOP. Also those intrepid outdoors-me- n (or women) hike at a slow jog pace. I expect that if they were jogging they'd be out in front in foot races. Then, picture this elderly well rounded lady who just file day before had needed to find the pliers to get the zipper up when she put on clean jeans. Think how tired and hungry she was when she crawled back to the car. What humane person would drag out a box of chocolate covered cherries and wave them under her nose? Wonder if I could hire someone to test hop clean jeans before I have to kuff me inside them. And after hiking, I must return to my running battle with Somethe Word Processor. times I think we have reached a working agreement and then, suddenly and horribly, it starts gasping and flashing lights at An SOS to my me. Quick! Mentor. "Mother," she says sadly, "Why won't you read the directions." "Cheri, when I so get distraught I can't read.." She signs.
