Show _The Salt Lake Tribune _ A8 Budget Cut At Park Has Weird Twist THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOZEMAN, Mont. — Yellowstone National Park will lose $2 for every $1 saved under a budget-reduction plan that Congress is considering, the park superintendent says. In a memoto his supervisor in Denver, Michael Finley said the budget cut would shut down some Yellowstone operations, and mon- ey would belost in two ways. An estimated $1.5 millionin entrance. campground and museum fees would be lost, and the government would loseits $2.3 mil- and Congress with new faces and new ideas would help rekindle public confidence in government. Chenoweth said. To build trust in government, we have to see the zest and the zeal,” she said. “They don't trust us yet to take them on a newdirection.” Chenoweth said she is among a numberof first-year lawmakers working to abolish the U.S. departments of Education, Commerce, Energy and Housing and Urban Development. Money to run some of the programs now overseenbythose agencies would be funneled to states through Community Development Block Grants, she said. Some Republicans also want to eliminate the Internal Revenue Service, which Chenoweth said would involve letting states collect a national sales tax orflatrate income tax TERMOUNTAIN Friday, June2, 1995_ Light Plane That Flew From Utah Is Missing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A search began Thursday for a home-built airplane whose Oklahoma pilot requested weather in- formation asit headed eastout of Albuquerque in poor flying conditions. A ground crew was on standby as eight Civil Air Patrol planes searched for the small, light aircraft known as a “Long EZ,” said Pat Norvell, spokeswomanfor the NewMexico CAP.

It was reported missing Wednesday, the dayit had been expectedto return to Oklahoma, Norvell said.

Water Project Has Ranchers Worried THE ASSOCIATEDPRESS DOWNEY,Idaho — NickPhillips and other ranchers in southeastern Bannock County who are membersof the Cottonwood Grazing Associationare worried about the impact of the Idaho Watersheds Project on their ability to lease state grazing lands. The 360-member environmental group contends the 49,000acre tract of rugged state land that horseshoes Cottonwood Creek is damaged by too many cattle grazing in the wrong spots. They want the Idaho Land Board to stop leasing it to ranchers. Instead, the group wants the boardto lease it to them at three times the price ranchers pay, creating more revenueforschools. Twenty families who graze 4,200 cows on the Cottonwood pay Phillips to ride the range. He spends most of his time driving cattle off of stream beds. Ranchers acknowledge parts of the range were overgrazed for decades — especially stream areas — but say the range is on the mend.
