executive director Haven Burningham Mr Burningham said he'd like to see the candidates square off an evening debate before the public State Panel Eyes Changing Utah's Education System A legislative education task force issued a mission statement that will "turn the school system upside down by returning power to the local school level rather than the state level" said Rep Richard Bradford RSandy during a press conference Saturday at the capitol Rep Bradford chaired the 30- member Utah Education Strategic Planning Committee which was created by the Legislature last winter and allocated $150000 The committee held a three-da- y retreat at Snowbird where Dr William Cook director of Cambridge Management Group Inc which specializes in strategic planning and management guided the committee Their findings call for "public education to assure Utah the best educated citizenry in the world basic by providing students knowledge through a responsive statewide system that guarantees local school communities autonomy flexibility and client choice" In addition the committee formed several strategies including personalizing education supporting research and development and removing state and local barriers to their recommendations Rep Bradford will take the first step toward implementing these goals in January when he introduces several pilot programs to the Legislature These programs will cost money but Rep Bradford doesn't know how much fiIn fact there is no long-ternancing for the committee's findings But listed under the plan's objectives is for Utah to achieve the income in highest per house-hol- d America Rep Bradford said improving the educational system will produce economic development and funding necessary for the program The plan also calls for "local schools to make changes and take risks Parents will have a resurgence of enthusiasm for education" he said Lily Eskelsen Utah Education Association president called the plan "a beautiful foundation that will take heart soul and energy to make it work" Ms Eskelsen said the plan calls for educators parents businesses and the public to work as a team in improving education Over the following months the committee will create planning n teams representing a of the state These teams will formalize the committee's plans cross-sectio- Beer Sign on Snow-Ca- t It Just Might Be Illegal By Dave Jonsson Tribune Staff Writer Ski entrepreneur Mac Mackaben came up against Utah's law restricting the advertising of beer in a meeting with the Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control Friday morning Mr Mackaben runs Park City's "Powder Iran" a ski guide service to transport skiers using snow-cat- s away from the beaten track He has a federal permit to carry passengers over some 78000 acres of Wasatch and Uinta national forests Various sponsors like to paint their names and logos on Mr Mackaben's cats — it puts their message right in front of the skiers' eyes for long periods at a time Mr Mackaben sells the space and it's lucrative: up to $20000 a season And there's the further opportunity of more revenues from filming of commercials But the state has a new beer advertising law You can't advertise beer just anywhere Beer manufacturers are leery about paying for space on and want an the side of a snow-ca- t assurance the state's new law won't require that the ads quickly be painted over "We can't give you an answer" commissioners reluctantly told Mr Mack aben "We're only authorized to approve advertising for specific sports events — not snow cats that would be opsaid Chairman erating season-long- " Jerry Fenn Absent u grant of permission from the commission Mr Mackaben and his generous sponsor would be risking prosecution if they went ahead and painted the snow vehicles Earlier this summer commissioners approved an appearance by the at an air Coors Silver Bullet mini-je- t show It was for a specific time frame a weekend and a specific event an air show That's what allowed commissioners to grant approval Powder Traxs is an ongoing business not a special event as mentioned in the law In that light its snow-cat- s are more like billboards where advertising is banned than visiting stunt jet planes commissioners said Commissioners indicated that regrettably Mr Mackaben's only recourse seems to be to lobby the legislature for a change in the law "I'm sure the Legislature didn't contemplate this" Mr Fenn said "Our discretionary power is to grant permits for specific events" — not for season-lon- g operations Mr Mackaben said after the meeting he doesn't know what his next move will be He said his snow-cat- s enthough used in a profit-makin- g terprise are no different than airplanes painted up for air shows or racing boats or race cars — which all enjoy the sponsorship of beer companies He said while ski product makers also buy space on his cats the beer revenues comprise the largest share of revenues Governor Noncommittal on S Utah Dam Plan By The Associated Press Supporters of a dam project on the East Fork of the Virgin River just outside Zion National Park have received a noncommittal reception from Gov Norm Bangerter Washington County Water Conservancy District officials and Sen Fred Finlinson Lake met with the governor Wednesday to ask for help in keeping the site from being designated a wilderness area "We don't want to see an area we think is critical to the community locked away in wilderness" said district manager Ron Thompson While the governor agreed the stage has been set for a battle between environmentalists and communities that need water in order to grow he made no promise of support for either side The water district which sells water to communities throughout the county has decided a dam is needed in the East Fork canyon to reservoir create a 50000-acre-foThe reservoir would bolster water supplies in the Quail Creek and Kolob reservoirs as well as a 5000- acre-foreservoir planned for the lt ot - ate

night's Idaho Super Lotto-LottAmerica drawing with a jackpot of $278 million: 3 4 10 19 27 47 North Creek near the town of Virgin Thompson said the sandstone canyon is the most practical site for the reservoir because it would be located above the communities making it easier to get the water to users Diverting river water to another location for storage would boost the cost from an estimated low of $5 million to as much as 860 million or more Thompson said But he said many environmentalists believe the proposed site should be part of the national park said Thompson At present the area is being studied for wilderness designation by the federal government He said that unless the site is excluded from wilderness designation St George and surrounding communities may outgrow existing water supplies "We can't do anything until this wilderness issues gets resolved" Thompson said "The fear I have is that everybody isn't educated to the tradeoffs" Mike Christensen deputy director of the state Office of Planning and Budget said the proposed dam site is one of the most controversial of Utah's 82 wilderness study areas Finlinson agreed "I don't know that you could go anywhere and find a more classic confrontation" he said "You have legitimate environmental values o "And legitimate development values" Bangerter said "I agree with your assessment that this is a classic confrontation" Progress Near Great Salt Lake By Tim Fitzpatrick Tribune Staff Writer The wetlands around the Great Salt Lake are rebounding nicely from their years underwater during the high lake levels of the mid 1980s according to the state's waterfowl program coordinator Tom Aldrich the Division of Wildlife Resources told members of the Great Salt Lake technical team Friday that Ogden Bay Locomotive Springs and Harold Crane waterfowl management areas are "almost completely restored" He later explained that by "restored" he means the dikes and canals washed out by the flooding have been rebuilt All the plant and animal life has not returned yet but "they are recovering dramatically" He said grasses are filling in faster than expected and the duck population has been doubling annually the past couple of years "In another two or three years it's going to look really good" he said A couple of other management areas including Farmington Bay and Howard Slew are now accessible but not thoroughly restored Still other areas including Salt Creek and Public Shooting Grounds were largely untouched by the rising lake waters He said similar progress has been shown at the federal Bear River Wildlife Refuge and at private wetlands along the lake's shore Mr Aldrich said the lake's wetlands are crucial to Utah's waterfowl picture simply because of their size Of 540000 acres of wetlands statewide 400000 surround the lake He said before the floods the wetlands received some 500000 visitors annually most of them duck hunters but use dropped to around 100000 visitors during the water's peak "It should be rebounding now" This year's duck hunting season begins Oct 6 Mr Aldrich who came to Utah about five years ago said he arrived to a very bleak outlook The refuge system was begun in the 1930s when the lake level was about 4196 feet above sea level and it was designed to handle rises to about 4200 feet he said He showed slides of entire dike systems submerged by the lake which topped out near 4212 feet above sea level in 1986-Since that time the lake has dropped nearly 10 feet and the division has been repairing the "hundreds of miles of dikes" that were lost be said He explained that the refuges are maintained at places where freshwater streams flow into the lake A system of dikes and canals allows waterfowl managers to maintain suitable depths for bird habitats When the water rises to the point where the upstream canals cannot empty into the lake the system becomes ineffective "Basically we followed the lake" he said explaining that each year the lake dropped the repair crews moved farther downstream "We've gotten back just about as quickly as we possibly could" Mr Aldrich said the effort was d artesian aided by a few wells near the lake's edge After the water receded the root systems and seeds of plants were left damaged by the salinity The areas around the wells however still had viable plant and seed stock that is spreading to the rest of the areas Also during the high-watyears the division has bought some 7000 acres of upstream wetlands with federal funds and revenue from a duck stamp program "Basically we moved uphill when it got wet" Mr Aldrich said Those areas are still functioning wetlands even though the lake has dropped again 7 well-place- Bridge Road to Stir Visitor Interest at Kodachrome Park State officials are expecting a new- ly paved road and a new bridge to increase tourism at Kodachrome Basin State Park Park Ranger Kay Mar Willis said the bridge and road should increase the number of visitors to Kodachrome Basin "especially during August when it was almost impossible to get people out of here" because of flash floods The dirt road frequently was rendered impassable by runoff in the Paria River which passes through the area now spanned by the 100- foot bridge Many visitors also were discouraged from traveling to the park by the dirt road Mr Willis said The park is nine miles southwest of Cannonville Garfield County on State Road 12 A sewage disposal station should be completed there next April SL Landfill Waives October Tip Fees The Salt Lake Valley Landfill is trying to make fall cleanup a little less onerous by waiving tipping fees for residential dumpers during Octo- ber The free dumping is offered as a public service say landfill officials The average fee for private citizens is generally about $225 depending on the vehicle size Commerical loads will be charged at regular tipping rates "We are anticipating large numbers of vehicles at the landfill during October so we want to encourage everyone to be careful and courteous" said Daniel Bauer Solid Waste Division director |
