According to Utah Farm Bureau Federation Presi- dent Ken Ashby, Delta, Fed- eral Judge Aldon Anderson has denied a motion by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA), The Wilderness Society, The Humane Society, and several private parties for a preliminary injunction, seeking to halt predator control on the Dixie and Fish Lake forest. Ashby said action by Judge Anderson was a major victory for ranchers as it allows predator control efforts to move forward in these forests. Ranchers in these forests have suffered unbearable losses to predators since predator control was sus- pended, Ashby said. This ruling will allow affected ranchers to take action to protect their calves and lambs from predators in the future and, hopefully, reduce the financial loss that goes with these attacks. Ashby said Judge Anderson held in his decision that control programs carried out by the Animal Damage Control arm of the U.S. Animal Plant Health Inspec- tion Service (APHIS), would not lead to an extermination of the coyote popu- lation, that they do not vio- late the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and that the U.S. Forest February 10, 1993 30 cents Vol 75 No 2 Four CELEBRATING OUR DIAMOND JUBILEE Service had taken sufficient measures to ensure that environmental as- sessments considered all reasonable alternatives to lethal control.

Tradi- tionally, he said, Scout week starts on Sunday, February 7th, which is the anniversary of the birthday of Baden Powell, the founder of Scouting. The Utah National Parks Council, one of over 300 Scout councils in the nation, is almost as old as the Scouting movement. Scouting in Utah began in 1913 when the program was adopted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Utah County has had an organized council since 1921 and for years was called the Timpanogos Council. The Boy Scouts of America believes in the youth of today because they are the future leaders of tomorrow. Anniversary Week is one way that allows Scouts from the Utah National Parks Council and from all over the country to show their respect and dedication for such an important Ameri- - can tradition, said. Aydelotte The idea for the Boy Scouts of America began in 1909 when William D. Boyce, an American Businessman, was lost in a London fog. A young boy found Boyce and took him to his destination. It was the boys refusal of a tip, saying that he was a Boy Scout, that intrigued Boyce. He later asked the boy to take him to Lord Baden-Powel- l, Scout-ing- s British founder. It was because of this meeting that the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica was officially born in 1910. Scouting has served and survived in a world of change in its 83 years. Through the numerous eras of change, Scouting has thrived, providing programs that teach citizen- ship, self reliance, leadership and physical fitness to young people, Aydelotte said. Scouting continues to provide its members with values that will last a lifetime, Aydelotte added. Ray Pehrson struggles with his opponent during state wrestling championship.

( staff Photo) promises part of request for Monticello Community Center CIB Monticello City officials met with the Community Impact Board last week to ask for $84,000 for the Community Center project. Mayor Jack Young, Project Chair Diane Nielson and others received a kind rebuke from the CIB, along with about $68,000 for property acquisition and demo- lition. The rebuke came from CIB Chairman Joe Jenkins, the new director of the Utah Department of Community and Economic Development and CIB member Neola Brown, the member from the State School Board. Brown said she didnt see any comparison between The Utah and Virginia. whole thing is out of sync. Why not something West- ern? she asked. City Council member John Black later stated Monticello didnt want to be like every other town in Southern Utah. Jenkins said, sure Monticello Im not will sell in Monticello. You can do a lot of economic development better than this. He promised his department would come to Monticello very soon and help the city determine what it needs most. This is my number one priority, he told The San Juan Record after the meeting. We will be there very soon.
