Wayne Owens have asked Congress for $13 million for public lands projects ranging from picnic ground repairs to shuttles at southern Utah’s Zion National “I am encouraged thatthe final Park But Democrat Bill Orton took a different approach, making House hearings a forumfor his claim that Utah is being robbed of its fair share of federal Bureau of Land Management funds, which he wants increased by 10 percent. According to a Deseret News story Saturday, Orton told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Interior that Utah contains 13.6 percent of the BLM land in the nine Western states, but only is allocated 9.6 percent of BLM personnel “Of the approximately 500coal leases administered by BLM nationwide, about 200 are in Utah,” the 3rd District representative said. “Yet Wyoming receives more than twice as much moneyas Utah with less land and fewer leases. Colorado and NewMexico receive almost as much money to administer far fewer acres and fewer leases.” He also said Utah’s ancient Indian sites are being lost to vandalism and neglect because the state BLM office protects many more sites with less funding than offices in New Mexico and Colorado. Meanwhile, Hansen, a Republican seeking his seventh termin the Ist District, and Democrat Owens took moretraditional approaches to seek money for their districts. They sought some jointly, and others individually. The joint requests include $3.3 million for a shuttle system to relieve traffic congestion in Zion National Park. The House approved the request last year, but the Senate killed funding. Also on the list is $3 million to buy additional land for the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge near 3righam City and $350,000 to bury power lines in Capitol Reef National Park that are needed for additional municipal transmission. Hansen’s individual projects include $1.2 million to help rehabilitate the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, $3.45 million for the Kolob Road in Zion National Park and $510,000 for recreational facili- bill will contain funding for these important projects,” he said. " < re Ls Owens wants $1.3 million for the final phase of a sewer system in Big Cottonwood Canyon to protect Salt Lake City’s watershed. He said 4.7 million people used Big Cottonwood Canyon’s ski resorts, campgrounds and trails last year, making completion ofthe line imperative. Owens also asked for $80,000 to purchase private property land in the Upper Albion Basin, also to protect the Salt Lake watershed, and $680,000 to reconstruct the Box Elder Picnic Area in Mill Creek Canyon. Owens said a user fee now charged for the canyon is “still not enough to correct damage done by heavy use.” He also seeks unspecified funding to continue an environmental impact statement involving the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park, and moneyto begin reintroduction in 1993. The 2nd District incumbent, who is seeking the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Jake Garn, also wants $500,000 to = =a 4 -FOR-SUIT S * Choose From Our HugeInventory of 100% Wool and Wool Blend Suits %Choose Your Style — Single or Double Breasted Suits % Choose from Single Pant or 2-Pant Suits $4 7900 2 ror £300 $49900 2 ror °375 $9QOQ900 try to buy 11 acres near the entrance of Zion National Park, where a large-screen IMAX theater and hotel have been proposed. 2 ror °500 Land owners, however, have said they could not afford to sell for such a lowprice.

Finally, Owens sought $740,000 to renovate the defunct Great Basin Range Station in the Manti-La Sal National Forest into an Environmental Education Center. Orton’s sole request was for $400,000 to help build a Moab Multiagency Information Center, where visitors could get one-stop information about national parks, forests, BLM lands and state and local attractions. “ALL MAJOR BANKCARDS ACCEPTED “FREE.

Anderson said a survey two years ago found no evidenceof recent tortoise activity. A biologist working under contract for the developer believes the tortoises were males looking for a mate. Anderson, who describes himself as a strong conservationist, said he is not angry about the order.
