Numerous child abuse cases, four in the past four month and other pending has Vernal City Police wondering if the stiffer penalties and mandatory sentencing are helping. Rick Hawkins, Vernal City Police detective, currently has four cases of child abuse coming under the new laws which was passed by the Utah Legislature. The new law dont help until we get a prosecution, Hawkins said. Since recent figures have shown the number of the child abuse and neglect cases in Uintah County to be five percent higher than those reported in Judge Merrill Herman-son- s district in the Provo- - Orem area. The new laws attach a 5, 10 or in child abuse dont care, said Det. . Sgt. Mel Curtis. The new law doesnt allow an attempted rape to be lowered from a first degree felony to a second degree felony, Curtis said. An attempted homicide, for example, is usually a second degree felony because it an attempt. ' The new laws make it easier for punishment of those found guilty of child abuse.

The pilot project was completed last October on Currant Creek in Wasatch County. The SACS system, part of the CUPs Bonneville Unit, will divert water from several Uintah Basin streams to the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir for distribution to the Wasatch Front. When the collection system is fully operational, those streams will carry reduced flows. Rehabilitation, using e structures, will help the stream channels adapt to lower flows, and provide fish habitat. An operating reservoir and diversion tunnel on Currant Creek have already been completed by CUP construction crews, making the stream an ideal site to study the effectiveness of the structures.

Family of Frank Richins boulders, submerged juniper trees, rock riprap and other materials, will be evaluated. The project is funded by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and was constructed on U.S. Forest Service land. The study plan was designed by a private consultant from the state of Washington, and the project constructed by Forest Service crews from the Heber Ranger District, with Bureau of Reclamation assistance. An interagency assessment team of aquatic biologists from the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District inventoried fish populations and habitat in Currant Creek just prior to project construction. The same segments of the stream will be inventoried again in a few years to determine the effect of the pilot study structures on fish habitat and populations. Information gained from the study will be used to refine plans that are being developed for rehabilitation of other streams in the Uintah Basin affected by the SACS.
