We believa the Island in the Sky should be a viewing platform the first taste of Canyonlands for visitors. Its a place where they can see vast panoramas. For those who are intrigued, the next logical step is the Needles District (near the Squaw Flat campground) where they can get into the park.

D-1- Paving the road will dramatically increase visitors to the park, said Point, which is served by a paved road, last year received 100,000 visitors. The Island in the Sky area was viewed by only 40,000 tourists. A possible delay to the paving project could result from complaints raised by Calvin Black, chairman of the San Juan County Commission. In an attempt to make a point, he has threatened to attempt to force the National Park Service to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on the project. The environmental people and those opposing the repository (for the disposal of radioactive wastes) are saying there ought to be an environmental study on that and its outside the park. The park service is concerned about the noise, the dust and the diesel plume claiming they may be detrimental to the park. If they need an EIS for something outside the park, they need one for inside the park, dont they? said Commissioner Black. Parry said an environmental assessment done several years ago on the paving project found it would have no significant impact on the park and determined an EIS was not necessary. The environmental assessment will be updated before work begins on the road, he said.

Tribune Stoff Photo bv Poveii Coll If you hope to run in the Salt Lake Classic or any other of the summers big road races, you should start training now. I Even though there are those who can walk who may have physical limitations which prevent them from running. Coach Lydiards comment holds true for most people. The problem with most of us is that we start running and then start and quit several times. The approach to mak ing it a significant benefit in our lives is often founded on faulty principles. The purpose of this series of s is to get more people involved in the physical, mental and emotional benefits of running, culminating with participations running or in the Salt Lake Memorial Day Classic 10,000 meter arti-cile- run-walki- (6.2-mil- race on May 28. Anyone who is basically healthy and adheres to this program should be able to run or the entire 10,000 meters down Main Street to Liberty Park come Memorial Day. First, though, it would be wise to make sure that there are no physical problems that should be monitored by your physician. With your doctors approval, the next step is to acquire an adequate pair of training shoes. These should have plenty of support and shock absorption. It is important to get a good pair and not trust your hard work and sweat to a discount store special. Next, wear loose fitting clothing that is appropriate for the temperature. If its still a little cold, wear several layers of clothing rather than one bulky outfit. This weill keep in heat better and, if the temperature warms, layers can be removed. run-wal- k Now, you're ready to begin. Remember, though, that before vr' C'lP' Its t p, f ,P room first running step out the door that running is not necessarily going fast. The most good, cardiovascularly speaking, will be done by going slowly. It's not how fast you go, but how far you go that will eventually produce the desired results of improved health and lost weight. you take your How far you run at first will be determined largely by your own physical condition at the time and not your age, weight or whether you are male or female. Most people starting should begin with the goal of walking or running and walking alternately for 15 minutes a day. Run until you get mildly tired, not exhausted, and then walk until you recover and feel like running more. When the 15 minutes are up, call it a day. Dont worry about how fast you are running. Just run and walk for 15 minutes. Some beginners will be able to run the entire 15 minutes the first week, but dont do more than that. Some may be able to run one or two minutes the first week. Dont be discouraged. Just follow this run and walk plan and you'll be surprised how quickly you will be able to run the entire 15 minutes. Go slow enough that you can carry on a conversations with a running partner. Thats the universal gauge where pace is concerned. fi lp' put N |
