Sheriff Dave Carter thanks Sgt. Walt Rowley of the Utah National Guard for helping to construct the new shooting range northeast of Nephi. Also instrumental in developing the range were Gary Lofgran, left, Randy McKnight, and Cleston Park. National Guard city , patrol cooperate on new shooting range A new shooting range, located near the old city garbage dump northeastofNephi, is nearly completed thanks to a lot of manhours donated by the Utah National Guard, and the support of city officials and the East Juab Search and Rescue organization. different parts of the range. Rowley wanted Ludlow Engineering, Nephi, recognized. We appreciate all the work they did through the city, he said. Workers were willing to assist whenever needed. It was a cooperative effort, said Randy McKnight, N ephi City administrator. All it cost us was $3,000, said Lofgran. In a cooperative effort, the city donated the land and $1,000 worth offood. The Search and Rescue squad also donated $1,000 worth of food, and the sheriffs department donated $1,000 worth of fuel. Lofgran said the plan had been to have an outstanding range for little cost. The site is an excellent one. said Carter. The site has five lanes on the range. There also are and ranges. It is hoped another National Guard unit will set the targets as part of their training. On the range the targets will slide up, the qualifier will shoot, and the target will be lowered. Communications back and forth will allow the shooter to know how he fired and will allow adjustments. The National Guard will use the site as a known-distanc- e qualifying range as will agencies. Units south of Provo will use the range, said Lofgran. The site is a lot larger than others m nearby counties. Gary Lofgran, former commander of the search and rescue group, and Juab County Sheriff Dave Carter discussed the construction of the new facility over two years ago. Lofgran said the patrol agreed to sponsor the plan. Lofgran asked the city for help and the city council agreed to donate property for the facility. Everywhere I went, I got a lot of support," said Lofgran. Cleston Park, Command Sgt. Msj. Retired of Detachment 1, Company D, 1457th Engineering Battalion in Nephi, agreed to spearhead the involvement of the National Guard in using the project for training. Walt Rowley, Sgt. 1st Class of the 116th Engineers of Springville, then stepped into the picture. The National Guard 116th, with Rowley, worked one weekend a month for 16 months to build the range. Those were not your usual working days either," said Carter. We moved approximately 110,000 yards of earth, said Rowley. He estimates the range would have cost over $500,000 to construct if the men and equipment had been paid for by the usual standards. Thats conservative, really, said Rowley.

The site also can be used for skeet shooting and those who set up competitive shoots may also be interested in using the range.

The National Guard placed old cars at the site to help 25-met- er the berms. fill Residents are told they can place typical household trash in the containers. Wet garbage should be placed inside plastic bags, and the bags placed inside the cans. Residents are asked to hose out the cans occasionally. Some of the items that will not be picked up by the city are large amounts of dirt or rock; large appliances or furniture; flammable materials such as oil, gas, or paint; concrete; warm ashes or coals; debris from construction, remodeling, or demolition; and parts of dead animals. In addition, yard waste such as grass clippings, tree trimmings, and leaves are not allowed in Hie containers.
