Without the unselfish support of the community and the squad members the Search and Rescue program wouldnt exist. Every year we generate between $12 and $ 1 5,000, said Deuel. Easily half of that goes to equipment maintenance. According to Sheriffs deputy and Search and Rescue member Rick Howe, volunteerism is what keeps the squad in operation. Everybody from the ambulance crews to Relief the local Society plays a part, he said. Sometimes we have so many people trying to help, they get in the way. He recalls one search for missing boy scouts when someone brought him a warm bologna sandwich and a cold cup of coffee. I was happy to get it, he said. Some searches keep squad members on site 24 hours a day for several days. The squad has 40 members and 3 1 associate members that donate their time and equipment to serve their communities. Weve got some kind of obligation virtually every week, said Howe. We do a lot of traffic and crowd control because of our good communications. Theyll be helping out at all the local celebrations, parades, rodeos. Palisade Pals, and, of course, the Pageant. We did some figuring, said Deuel, And if you add up all the miles our guys have driven to and from the Pageant its been far enough to drive to the moon. drive vehicle and radio. Most of them carry Squad members are required to supply their own enough personal supplies to last several days in the back county. Many of them also donate the use of special equipment ranging from horses and ATVs to airplanes. The only compensation is an occasional tank of gas from the county. Recently the state donated a truck that was seized in a drug case. This truck is being equipped as a backup for Rescue One. Both rigs are stocked with emergency supplies and the Jaws of Life for extrication work. Listen in on April 1st for some unpredictable entertainment and donate if you can. Weve had pledges from 50 cents to $3,000, said Deuel. What is the service provided worth? The average rescue, if we added up all our man hours and equipment expenses, would cost about $7,000 per day, said Deuel. Being a father and having my son being looked for, said Ken Lindsay. Makes you realize you can't put a dollars and cents value on the service they give. Fishing Forcast for area lakes Best bets for this week will be the valley lakes and reservoirs. Mt. Plex-- nt and Fountain Green ponds have been stocked with 500 and 250 fish, res tively. Fishing at Nine Mile should pick up with about 2,uuu caichabi being stocked, some of them pushing 14 inches. Palisade is showing the best success, but fish are on the small side. The canyon lakes are mostly inaccessible and wont be stocked until roads clear. The stream in Manti Canyon is scheduled for stocking some time in mid June. -- Spotlight Scofield Reservoir .The two year battle to save Scofield from trash fish and illegally introduced Walleye Pike seems to be paying off. Last falls net surveys show that the fishing outlook for 1994 is very good. The Division of Wildlife reports that most of the fish in Scofield fall into three major classes of trout The fingerlings stocked last fall are about three inches long. These fingerlings should be catchable as scrappy pansize fish toward mid summer. Another group of trout is in the nine inch range and expected to grow as much as two and a half inches over the summer. The third group is around eleven inches, also expected to grow as much as three inches this year. About ten percent o( the fish netted were in the 15 to 20 ytch? two to four pound range. DWR . V" expects good fishing this year and in years to come. . L.D.S.

Residents and former residents of Sevier County were in the spotlight ' at the statewide Rural Issues Symposium held Wednesday, March 23 at Snow College. Charles F. Chuck Nielsen, a native of Monroe who is now a vice president of Texas Instruments, was the keynote speaker. His topic was Growing up in Rural Utah: Applying personal experiences to the challenges of todays rural youth. Us- n2 examples from his early life, he based his remarks on the concept that thinking and perception drive behavior. He outlined three fundamental ideas that determine whether a com- pany of organization can compete successfully in the marketplace. Nielsen showed Texas religion, gender and diversity of background are valuable because they foster creativity and innovation. Not everyone can be the perfect manager model of a six foot tall male with a icceding hairline who comes from Muuiue.

He noted tha1 problems are always caused by the same people -- - they. Perfect plans, significant improvements, and high expectations often are not met or carried out because they wont allow it or say it cant be done. They are everywhere and nowhere. Nielsen said. He used the symposium to start his personal campaign to stamp out they passing out lapel buttons with they in a red circle with a red line through it.

Day also pointed to the Poverty Syndrome as a deadly attitude that should not be perpetuated any longer. The kind of poverty he referred to isnt just economic, but could also be seen as social, intellectual, related to values, and so on. According to Day, The Poverty Syndrome goes like this: Were poor. Weve always been poor. We will always be poor. We deserve to be poor. Its a virtue to be poor. Only the Poverty Syndrome is eliminated can rural Utah reach its greatest po' tential, Day believes. At the conclusion of the confer- ence regional planning groups met to determine the most important issues that need attention and followthrough by conferees who represented government, business, education and arts groups. Future meetings, which will beheld regionally or statewide in connection with the annual Utah Rural Schools Conference in July, will continue to explore increase awareness and improved use of local resources.

As he welcomed the group, planning committee member Rick White of Snow College introduced rural issues with statistics from the Central Utah area. He said that the household income in the area is 47 percent of the national average. Only 13 percent of the residents have bachelors degrees or the equivalent, and that just 6 percent of the children of the reaming 87 percent go on to earn bachelors degrees. Snow College President Gerald Day said the opportunities and advantages for rural America are great, but we need each other...none of us can go it alone. Attitudes that work against rural Utah, such as the zero sum mentality, should be recognized and eliminated. Some people believe that if somebody else gains something, we have lost, he explained. Instead, the attitude should be that success anywhere in rural Utah is success for all.
