Show Tuesday, Fire May UMWA training Sun Advocate, Price, Utah 3 A 21, 1991 pickets PacifiCorp tional executive board Hundreds of area union members, together with strik- ing coal miners from Decker Coal Co. in Sheridan, Wyo., recently picketed the annual shareholders meeting of PacifiCorp in Salt Lake City, calling on the company to settle the three and one-hayear labor dispute. PacifiCorp is throwing its shareholders money down the drain, said Tammy Green, wife of a striking miner. "Its well past time for Decker to return to the bargaining table ready to negotiate a fair and just contract. PacifiCorp can make that happen. Decker, which operates the 13th largest mine in the nation, is jointly owned by Peter Kiewit Sons Inc. of Omaha, Neb., and NERCO Inc., a Portland, Ore., subsidiary of PacifiCorp.

DWR fisheries manager, Kevin Christopherson said he would love to open the reservoir to fishing sooner, but because of hatchery capacity and the necessity of treating the fishery in the fall, the only way to open fishing any sooner is to somehow raise the money to purchase the fish commercially. The problem is a very com- plicated one, Christopherson explained. The hatcheries have a limited capacity of fish production he said. The limiting factor is the amount of oxygen in the water. If there are too many fish, they use up opposes required training to receive Red Cards" making them eligible to fight grass and forest fires this summer. two-ye- all the oxygen and die. Theyre not like cows, where you just feed them more to make them grow more. Only a certain number can live in there. He said each water (fishery) is allocated a certain number pounds of fish each year. Sco- field is normally allocated 7,000 pounds each year. The owner of one business in Scofield said in a letter to Christopherson, that not opening the reservoir to fishing until 1993 would have a negative impact on the economies of Scofield and Carbon County. Jim Levanger, in Scofield Town and owner of the Snack and Pack in Scofield, said We note that the Strawberry restocking occured within three months of treatment and that it was reopened to fishing in six months. Christopherson said the Strawberry treatment was in the planning stages for five years, and extra fish were coun-cilmemb- er closing of lake ar 7.000 pounds (Scofields normal allocation.) If h fish are planted there would be only 140,000 and only after treatment. planted. In order for fishing to be successful, there needs to be 30 adult fish per surface acre. That means at Scofields present size, there would need to be 60,000 fish in the reservoir. May and then restocked three months later. That allowed fishing to reopen six months Scofield cant be treated until September. Fish cannot be replanted for three months, which means stocking cannot take place until Spring because ice will be covering the water. Fishing in Strawberry hasnt been very good, Christ- opherson remarked. Weve received some criticism for not leaving it closed so the fish can grow up. Some people have suggested stocking Scofield with five-inc- h fish so fishing can start immediately. Christopherson said the bigger the fish, the fewer you get per pound. There ' are about five-inc- 21.000 fish if nine-inche- rs are Hatchery production has been somewhat limited recently by the drought. Two of the hatcheries have lost significant water quantity, and production capacity is down, Christopherson said. The only hope we have is to buy the fish commercially. fish will cost 60.000 nine-inc- h $40,000. The division has approved the concept recen- tly, but the money needs to be raised because there is no money in the divisions budget the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled in February that the company had violated federal labor laws and ordered the company to return to the bargaining table and to reinstate 80 strikers.
