Show Busy week for law enforcement It was a busy week for law enforcement in San Juan County. ' A bomb squad from the Tboele Army Depot blew up three cases of dynamite containing nearly 200 pounds of TNT that was discovered on Nakai Dome in west-centr- al San Juan County. The dynamite, which was found by some hikers, was in boxes dated May 1951, meaning that it had been on the ground for almost 50 years. The bomb squad was called in because of the unstable nature of the TNT. Thomas OBryne, a 43 year old man from the Denver area, died on March 21 of an apparent heart attack in Moki Canyon on Lake Powell. Six hikers from an environmental program of Colorado College were reported missing on March 25, when they failed loto meet in a cation in the San Juan County back country. San Juan County Search and Rescue initiated a brief helicopter search before the hikers found their way to the Kigalia Guard Station and called officials. Muddy roads in the back country were in part responsible for the problem. ed THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - Page 5 Prime Bluff property to remain in agriculture landmark in will Bluff remain intact thanks to a four-yelong effort by a local historic group and various private and public The farm has community. been operated by Jones for 40 years.

Curtis also sold a separate conservation easement to the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food at a price that is generally the difference between the agriculture value and the value a developer would pay. Thus Jones receives full price for the land. The Davis family owns the title to a large, form at an afford- able price, and the community keeps an important economic and historic piece of property intact. The only restriction placed on the land is that it continue to be a productive agricultural resource.

The successful creation of the easement is the first of its kind by the Quality Growth Commission in Southeastern Utah. It now joins other projects in northern, central and southern Utah. The QGC contributed a grant of $309,000 to the Jones project, the UDAFs Critical Agricultural Land Conserva- Fund tion contributed $72,000, the balance was raised from grants from the Nature Conservancy of Utah, the Ecdes Foundation, and fundraising donations from over 200 contributors. lb date, the Quality Growth Commission has preserved or restored 9,416 acres of land in 12 counties from Cache to Washington and San Juan. The Commission has made grants totaling $4.7 million on projects that have attracted $17 million in matching funds from private, local, federal and other state funds.
