Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday January 25, 1989 - Page 4 Soccer endorsed as high school program Girls softball and soccer may become part of Utah high school athletics, who plays whom in post season athletic competition will change, and corporate money will subsidize Utah high school sports. This from the January meeting of the Utah High School Athletic Association held in Salt Lake City. Endorsement of girls softball and soccer by UHSSA means Utah high schools have the option of adding these sports to their curriculum. If this happens, it will bring a better balance to participation by boys and girls in high school sports. Currently, 61 percent of participation in UHSSA activities is by boys. Thirty-nin- e percent is by girls. In a realignment of athletic regions, San Juan High remains a 2A independent. How- - ever, post season competition beginning with 1989-9- 0 school year will be qualified through Region 10, rather than Region 9. The new Region 10 schools will be Delta, Millard, Richfield, North Sevier, South Sevier, Kanab, Beaver and Hurricane. Three of these schools Kanab, Beaver and North Sevier moved from 1A to 2A classification. Realignment approved by the UHSSA did not affect classification of Monticello High,. Monument Valley High, or Whitehorse High. Nor did it change the teams these schools will play to determine post season qualifying for region competition. These 1A San Juan County high schools will continue to compete in Region 13 with Green River, Duchesne, of delinquency or default on their Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) loans may be able to reduce their debt while benefiting wildlife, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and FmHA. By placing a portion of their acreage under a conservation easement, landowners with delinquent FmHA loans could have their indebtedness reduced by the value of the easement. This new avenue to help farmers improve their financial situation is a provision of the Food Security Act of 1985, the Federal Farm Bill, which encourages the preservation of wetlands and conservation of fish and wildlife while helping to reduce surplus crop production. Under the conservation easement program landowners with delinquent FmHA loans may be able to place part of their property under a conservation easement for wildlife and soil conservation. The opportunities are extensive and include preserving and restoring habitat for a wide variety of fish and wildlife. The easements may involve certain restrictions of land use to be compatible with the easement. All easements would be planned with the landowners and the conditions of the easements would be mutually agreed on between the owners and the government. In return, owners indebetness under their delinquent loans could be reduced by the percentage of the land value they have placed under easement. This voluntary program provides an additional option for farmers to consider when and up. In the realignment approved by UHSSA, four 3A schools moved up to 4A They are Emery, Lehi, Wasatch and Union. Five 1A schools moved upto2A. In addition to Kanab, Bever, and North Sevier, they are Gunnison and South Summit. Whitehorse High with 172 students is now the largest 1A school in the state and could easily move into the 2A category. Monticello High with 160 students is also close to meeting 2A qualifications.
