Show National Forest Roadless Areas Subject to Scrutiny Ogden, Forest Roadless Areas studied for wilderness potential five years ago now will be subject to reevaluation, according to Assistant Secretary of Agriculture John B. Crowell, Jr. About 18,810 acres on Fishlake Mountain are subject to this reevaluation. Crowell said the reevaluation is' necessary because of a recent court decision that the environmental statement for the earlier review was inadequate. The reevaluation will be done as part of the land and resource management plans now being developed by the U.S. Department of Agricultures Forest Service for each of 120 individual National Forest units, Crowell said. Those plans are scheduled for G Obituaries Beatrice C. Harward Beatrice Harward Beatrice C. Harward of 800 West 500 North, Provo, died Feb. 6, 1983 at her home, four days short of her 87th birthday. She was bom Feb. 10, 1896, to George Peter and Mena Moletty Margaret Jensen Sorensen. She married Ruelon Harward, September 17, 1913 in Richfield, Sevier County.

Morving Larsen Morving Larsen, 85, died Feb. 4, at Gunnison Valley Hospital. He was bom May 17, 1897 in Redmond to Ole C. and Margareet Gregersen Larsen. He married Olga Margaret Andersen June 24, 1924 in the Salt Lake Temple. Active in the LDS Church, he served as a high priest, Sunday School counselor, home teacher and in other positions. He worked for many years with the Utah and Idaho Sugar Company. He was a veteran of World War completion in 1985. Because the court found the previous evaluation process to be legally inadequate, the reevaluation will include roadless areas which were previously recommended for wilderness as well as areas which had not been so recommended. Activities in the roadless areas will continue under existing plans, pending completion of the Forest plans so as to meet program commitments and to assure that jobs dependent on those commitments will continue, Crowell said. The administration will continue to work with Congress for legislation to declare the Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) environmental statement to be sufficient nationwide and to release the roadless areas not recommended for wilderness from further wilderness considertion, Crowell said. He said the administration much prefers a legislative resolution to the question of future uses of roadless areas because of the costs and delays associated with additional reviews. Crowell said the cost of the review is estimated at between $15 and $30 million. He also said the administration is committed to working with Congress on legislation to designate areas appropriate for wilderness as part of the wilderness system. In January 1979, the Forest Service issued a national environmental statement documenting the results of a review of 62 million acres of roadless and undeveloped areas National within the Forest System. The purpose of the roadless area review and evaluation (RARE II) was to determine which areas were recommended for wilderness and which should be used for other purposes. The environmental statement was the basis for recommending that Congress designate 15.1 million acres as wilderness, that about 36 million acres should be managed for multiple uses other than wilderness, and that the remaining 10.8 million acres needed further study before a decision could be made, Crowell said. Stan Tixier, Regional Forester for the Intermountain Region, said,. That would mean 2,319,705 acres of proposed wilderness, 8,376,151 acres managed for multiple use, and 1,245,868 acres for further study category would have to be reevaluated in the Intermountain Region. Acting on these recommendations, the 96th and 97th Congresses designated wilderness in 11 states. Action still is pending on approximately 7 million acres recommended for wilderness by RARE n in 30 states. In 1979, California challenged the adequacy of the national RARE H environmental statement as the basis for decisions to manage 46 areas in California for other than wilderness. In October 1982, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the lower court decision that the RARE n environmental statement was inadequate. Crowell said the action announced today will ensure Forest Service comliance with the federal court decision. That decision set a precedent which could be applied nationwide, he said. Necessary revisions to the land and resource planning regulations will be developed, and Forest Service Chief R Max Peterson soon will issue instructions to the field on implementing the decision.

The NSHS varsity got within six points at one point until Piute put its starters back in with I Vi minutes remaining. We played fairly, said Coach Bruce Hoggard, but Piute really overpowered us. I think our guys felt somewhat intimidated. Its little wonder. The Thunder-bird- s have a 6 ft. 5 in. guard working for them. I think we can do better than we did, Coach Hoggard said. Some of the mistakes we made really hurt us. Getting off to another slow start, the North Sevier Wolves varsity basketball team never quite got their own basketball rolling against the taller Piute Thunderbirds last week. The W olves succumbed to Piutes more honed skills 75-6The second quarter proved to be the best for the Wolves with Piute outscoring them by only two points. 4 With Piute leading at the beginning of the third quarter, the Wolves came out and started chipping away at the Thunderbirds Vociferating Money To be AAUW Topic is one of two Money Talks topics being examined this biennium by the American Association of University Women.
