Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD In other business, the county Nat'l BLM Committee favors multiple use, says commissioner The National BLM Advisory Committee appears to be solidly on the side of multiple land use. This according to San Juan County Commissioner Calvin Black. In a report he gave on Monday, Black told county commissioners the national committee, of which he is a member, listened to testimony and toured southern Utah over the weekend. He said the committee met in Cedar City and, then visited recreation, mineral resource, agricultural, oil and gas, wilderness, wildlife and scenic attractions subject to public land control. Black presented the com- mittee with winning essays on land use written by San Juan County high school students. The committee met with over 200 adults and students from Garfield County who gave testimony on the importance of multiple use. The committee adopted resolutions related to the following: the Uranium Revitalization Act; wildlife management; promotion of recreation; and multiple use. Black was particularly pleased with the resolution, complimenting southern Utah for its active involvement in BLM land management planning that resulted in a request to the National BLM office to give significant weight to the input of local and elected officials so as not to jeopardize the economy of southern Utah. According to Black, the National BLM Advisory com mittee will meet in July to consider BLM management plans. Black feels multiple use advocates are now burying their personal differences to mount a concerted effort to overcome the actions of radical environmentalist groups. Winners of the San Juan County Multiple Land Use essay contest, in order of finish, are: Monticello High, Helen Semadeni, Candacy Miller, Matt Peterson and Marie tie for third. San Juan High, Shelly Hughes, Julie Martineau, and DaNae Winder. And, at Whitehorse High, Lorena Clah.

Centennial note: An article published in the Deseret News on August 24, 1889, refers to Monticello as a thrifty settlement of about 15 families in the middle of a bounteous harvest. This is the choicest place in the whole country agriculturally speaking. There are facilities at that place for making reservoirs which would bring under cultivation land of the very first quality for at least 15 miles.
