A group of northwMtern Colorado river runners were recently charged with floating She Yampa Rivsr in Dinoaaur National Monument without a river running permit. National Park Service rangers issued citations to Dais L Kruse, Edward E. Ley, and Linda 8. Sexton; all from Creig, Colorado; following their July 3rd apprehension at Echo Perk within the monument. Rangers learned of the unauthorized tripe earlier in the week. After confirming the presence of the river running group which eonristed of three adults rad three Juveniles in a raft and three kayaks, rangere awaited their arrival at Echo Park. Tha three adult members of the party were cited at that time to appear before the US Magktrate in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The plan waa the outgrowth of rapid increases in whitewater recreation use at Dinosaur to the late 1960s end early 1970k. The increased use made it necessary to establish specific permitting requirements for those who wished to float the two rivers. In order to obtain a permit today, river runners must apply through a lottery process at tha and of the year nr wait for a trip cancellation during the season. It k required that all trips have an approved permit before launching. The safe navigation oftha Green rad Yampa Rivers requires suitable boats, appropriate equipment and adequate whitewater experience. this permit system aids, rangere in communicating those safety concerns to boaters. Permits also limit the number of boaters that may float the Green and yampa Rivers in a given season thereby helping to preserve the resource values rad scenic qualities which attract many of the river runners in the first place. Republicans propose tough, drug control act anti-crim- e, Congressman Howard C. Nielson today joined other Republicans in supporting US Drug Czar William Bennett in a legislative initiative aimed at controlling drugs rad reducing violent crimes. "The time is long overdue for this nation to take serious steps in halting the flow o f drugs in our neighborhoods and schools. And I believe this package of legislative proposals will go a long way in dealing with drug trafficking and the violence that goes along with it, Congressman Nielson said. The legislative package, proposed by the Republican Leadership in tha House, ia based on President Bushs Comprehensive Violent Crime Control Act rad includes provisions to implement the National Drug Control Strategy that Bennett presented to Congress last month. The legislation, called The Violent Crime and Drug Control d Act of 1990, sets up a that drug strategy stresses user accountability, drug criminal justice and interdiction improvements, and drug abuse federal-mandate- treatment Some of the provisions include: Mandatory development of statewide plans and centralized referral systems to develop and implement effective drug abuse treatment; Expanded drug tasting programs within state and federal criminal Justice syi terns; Mandated loss of federal benefits for convicted drug traffickers and users and revocation of drivers licenses for drug offenders in states receiving federal kw enforcement ftinds; New penalties for firearms violations, new fine and forfeiture authority over boats and aircraft for kw enforcement officials; and Death Penalty for drug kingpins, enhanced penalties for narcotics related public corruption, and new civil penalties for violators of drug paraphernalia laws. t "I know there era some tough previsions to this legislation. But .. we are in a fight for the security of our families and homes. Our filters and the ftitura ofour children k at take. We simply cannot afford to loss this war," Congressman Me- llon said. |
