A. call came from Joel -- Dunn, publisher of the and president of the LDS Tooele South Stake, asking for the help of anyone willing to go in and aid the sandbaggers. So the people of Dugway came running with shovels in hand ready to help a neighbor in Transcript-Bulletin need.

These animals are part of the Cedar Mountain herd, which ranges on both public and military lands in the area. According to Lowell Decker, BLM Resource Area Manager, BLM plans to remove a portion of the herd between June 20 and Sept. 30 by water trapping. This method involves placing portable corral panels around the spring and closing a gate behind the horses as they come into water. The gate is closed with a mechanical device that can be controlled from a vehicle hidden nearby. Decker said the removal of a portion of the herd will . prevent their migration into areas where the animals would conflict with military activities. Captured animals will be transported to a holding facility at Dugway and made available for adoption. Under BLMs Adopt-a-Hors- e Program, ah individual may adopt up to four horses a year with a $125 fee per animal. The adoption fee must be paid at the time the animals are obtained at Dugway. According to Decker, persons who are interested in adoption of one or more of the captured horses should contact the Salt Lake District Office at 2370 South 2300 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 8411$, or telephone (801) 8 before June 20. 524-534- Bigger than a breadbox The Postal Service is big and serious business these days.

Many hands make light work. The people of Dugway and Tooele were brought together in the time of need. Cooperation was one of the major factors that made the task move smoothly. It is next to impossible to fill a sandbag by yourself and it is much easier to tie the bags when there are two sets of hands at work on the same bag.
