By Karla Cox i The Duchesne County Planning Advisory Committee spent two of their monthly scheduled meetings on topics they had hoped to complete in mu, but considered the time well used. Resource panels for both topics facilitated discussions. Education, highest on the coun- tys priority list in the Planning initial Advisory Committees coping meeting, is apparently on the right track locally, said Rulon Dutaon, consultant working with the county on the PAC. The second topic, human service as they apply to senior citizens in the area-- is apparently not on such did ground. Education Though the county has no direct authority, over the school . board, their support is invaluable, and school officials have that support Duchesne County is the. only county with a strategic planning effort underway that placed education at the top of the list Almost a sense of urgency for parent involvement seems to exist among those who work at the schools. Community participants at the meeting said curriculum should rank mare highly on the district improvement list; however, they that limited funds recognized require that choices be made. In fact, many in attendance believe that improved curriculum is mors important than many of the cur-reactivities on A cutback available. currently for the sake of curricular offerings may be necessary. The notion of closing schools and consolidating to .save money is till believed to be an option. There was wane concern expressed about the loss of values teaching, as well as a diminished recognition of agricultures place in the economy and the work force. Dutaon said the consulting team is impressed with the Uintah Basin Applied Technology Center and its offerings; the community is supportive of the ATC, he noted, and education can be a obtained at far less cost than on the Wasatch Front The same can be said of the USU Education Center, where adult education classes are a unique and valuable feature. The importance iff teachers in their teachkeeping The goal noted. was overriding ing of education, it was stated, should be to put all children, regardless of background, in a position to learn, Human Services At the offset of the meeting, a survey created by and sent to tribal members was reviewed. "Views were almost parallel to the scoping committee. The Indians fed similarly to whites," about local issues, aid Dutaon. However, 51 percent ofthose tribal members responding aid they believe general understanding of the tribe is low. Representatives of the Uintah Basin Association of Governments (UBAOGX who served as discussion facilitators, explained their perception cf the agencyk purpose. Director Greg Richena explained the various programs offered, including commu- nity development and Community Development Block Grants, weather-izatio- n, job training for dislocated or workers, arid programs for the aging; disabled, indigent, and hungry. He said the AOG will be exploring the issues of government programs publicly as they revise their overall governance plan. Anna Whitmore, director of the Community Services program, tressed the accountability at her program. It is not a dole, nor is it imply emergency services, she declared, and few county funds are used. Eligibility is required, and strict guidelines regulate the programs as wdl as the entire AOG. "Were trying to teach people to fish, not give them a fish," Whitmore aid, referring to the adage, "Give laid-o- ff a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. The proposed senior citizen center in Roosevelt was discussed, with mixed reactions from those in attendance. "There is a strong sense of responsibility to care for your own," Dutaon observed, possibly at ' e the expense of a senior center. broad-scop- However, a proposal exists that could provide housing with various . levels of care, to bridge the gap between the perpetual care of a rest home and those who are actually able to live at home and care for themselves. A Senior Citizen Needs Assessment, conducted by the AOG in die area, found that 88 percent at residents 55 or older prefer to remain in their own harness A small number of those surveyed, 4.5 percent, indicated a willingness to live in a setting, in their own apartment, with some limited care offered. A lot of aging citizens can live independently, but cant do everything for themselves, and the lorel Home Health Agency helps to fill that gap, Whitmore said. The county feels unable to financially support a senior citizen moderate care center, but is supportive of the notion. A private venture would be great, Dutaon, indicated, but the demand is simply not here. ty semi-grou- p nt extra-curricul- extra-curricul- ar ar non-colle- ge . up-to-d- ate February 1 -- A Tips given on how to handle released fish By Brent Stettler.DWR Information and Education Manager Mors and more anglers are asking for special fishing experiences-wi- ld fish or trophy fish. One way we can provide far a variety of fishing experiences is with special regula- tions. Several waters in our area have special regulations to grow fish or protect (pawntrophy-eizeers. Regulations designed to protect a specific species or size of fish will only work if the fish that is released survives. It is therefore essential that released fish are handled carefully. The new regulations at Josh d that anglers return all splake under 16 inches to Valley Reservoir require the water.

Richens gives information The Uintah Basin Associatibn of Governments has recently been flooded with calls from residents who have applications on file for HOME Rehabilitation assistance asking if the Association of Governments is till in the business of providing housing services. Apparently, confusion exists over a letter applicants have been receiving requesting that another application be sent to the Myton Housing Authority if they "are interested in the Housing Rehabilitation program." UBAOG Executive Greg Richens; ays that "all applications on file with the Association of Governments are safe and there is no need to send a duplicate application to the Myton Housing Authority.

In order to minimize injury or death to protected trout, anglers are encouraged to release them as quickly as possible. Exposure to frigid air temperatures and the battering suffered from flopping on the ice can take a heavy toll on plalu. "Studies show that 77 percent of all fish which remain out of the water for mare 'than a minute eventually die," says Conservation ' Officer Mike Mflbum. "Keeping that in mind, anglers should release fish as quickly possible with a minimal amount of handling." When removing tite hook, its best to keep the fish in the water, which will support the fishs weight. This also helps minimize damage to the mouth and gills. If the hook or lure has been swallowed deeply, its best to simply cut the leader close to the mouth and let the trout slip back through the ice hole. When handling a fish, a bare, wet hand is often preferable to a gloved hand, which may remove the slimy film protecting the trouts sensitive kin. The extra effort we take today will put more and bigger fish in the creel next year. iTo rle J &0EEB G03EGED CHESS) ASTORY EQ Sure, you could get a home equity credit line somewhere else.
