Show November ?(), llWi - Pape l) Basin Lift Uintah Basin Standard Federal Lands Conference seminar to address federal land usage rights A County Government and Federal Lands Conference seminar is planned for Saturday, November 23, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Western Park in Vernal. The federal domain is not public land, as various groups contend," declares Dale Snow, president of the Uintah Cattlemen's Association, of the seminar. "Federal land is a split estate, between a number of parties, both private nnd governmental, which embrace a numlier of rights." Those rights include water rights, grazing rights, mineral rights, wildlife rights, petroleum exploration rights nnd timber harvest rights. Each of these rights is secured by some statute or court case, Snow contends, and county governments need to know how to protect the economic stability of their communities. The seminar will address issues from both the perspective of land user and land steward. Speakers will include: Wayne I Inge, president of the Federal National Lands Conference nnd author of a book detailing the history of grazing rights on federal lands; Karen Rudd, a Wyoming attorney and a foremost legal specialist on lands issues; Dick Manning, member of a coalition formed to educate county governments on property rights nnd conducting impact statements; Karl Hess, "The I .and Center," who will speak on county land use planning on a basis with federal agencies; Iudrert N. Schweigert, Intermountain Range Consultants, on protecting the natural resource nnd county tax base; and James Catron, who will speak on the importance of the U.S. Constitution in protecting community stability. A special video on dealing with the opposition to land use will also be shown et the seminar. which includes lunch, will be $30 single, $40 couple.

SMOKEOUT-Thc- sc DCH to direct affairs of "ARCH", a rural health care team effort Duchesne County Hospital will be administering funds from a $375,000 federal grant that will provide the opportunity for eight or more rural hospitals in Utah to combine efforts to improve services and resources. The Association of Rural Centers of Health (ARCH) will utilize grant money from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in a cooperative manner that is brand new to Utah, though the concept has been successfully utilized in other parts of the nation. "We are excited about the potential of this project," declared John Jefferies, DCH Administrator. "The Association will help hospitals involved to gain respect and impact on the statewide health care scene."

ARCH will be administered by Tim Cox, Director of Medical Affairs and Community Relations at DCH; Jefferies will provide professional consulting expertise. Ken Lester, Director of Finances at DCH, will provide financial con- sulting, and a financial director will be hired as well.
