Still, after just 10 days on the water, the shrimpers hauled away about 10.3 million tons, or about half as much raw product as they harvestedduring all of last year’s season. Then routine cyst counts on Oct. 19 and 20 showed 45 cysts per liter. It was startling declinefrom the hearty 75 cysts perliter at the season’s beginning and it suggested thatthe countcouldfall below 30 cysts per liter in a few days. At 20 cysts perliter, the harvest shuts down. Don Leonard, spokesman for the Utah Artemia Association, says his industry supports the DWR’s deci- sion to suspend the harvest until it is clear the egg we do, because they are good corporate citizens who bring a tax base to the community so that we can keep taxes down, plow the streets, and hire the police officers andfirefighters that we need.” One quality that endears Dolan to his friends is his selfeffacing wit, especially about his mustache and his golf game. “I grew the mustache after Linda andI saw [Robert] Redford wearing one in ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,’” he said. “Now looklike three Redfords — with nohair. But I don’t know if people would recognize me if I shaved it off.” Dolan’s-schtick on his golfing strikes a similar tone: “I’m atrocious,” he quipped. “IfIcan break 100,it’s a great day. The best game I've ever shot is a 93 or 94 — and then didn’t necessarily countall the strokes.” Beck's 6 neon Olympic volunteer r shrimp; about three dozen companies employ about numbers will increase. = Continued from B-1 tal wreckoedies B year-old motorist who apparently ran a red light and crashed into a train in downtown Salt LakeCity. . {dgbebv os So aeranaernLr Harvest PUBLICSAFETY TRAX trains returned to —Da aac Fea Taf aecama IsBrine Shrimp On Hold for Now aceon “Communication wasprettypoor.

State law gives DWR the authority to suspend the season for another week orto cancel it altogether. In the DWR laboratory in Salt Lake City, technicians tally the numberoffemales, males, youngsters, eggs and cysts through microscopes. A technician can count as manyas 5,000 cysts ona good day, and the counting crew has taped onto the refrigerator a mock thermometer that reflects this year’s eggs.
