Show T r t 1996- - UINTAH BASIN STANDARD. February 20. on to Babbitt says parts of his reform plan are still alive . i i. i . . The Aaaodated Press , Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt says that even though Congrees may make his public lands gracing reforms obsolete, one main goal is very much alive; Western resource advisory councils. Babbitt and Bureau of Land Management acting director Mike Dombeck were in Salt Lake City Friday to hear a progress report from Western resource advisory councils leaders. The councils, a key part of Babbitts reforms, are designed to bring diverse interests together to solve grazing problems locally. The councils, which replace the old gracing advisory boards, are one of the more controversial elements of Babbitts reforms. Thats because they include more than just the livestock interests j , . who made up the advisory boards. Hunters, environmentalists, miners, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, American Indian tribal representatives, scientists and wildlife biologists are on the councils as well. Most of the councils now meeting are inthe Intermountain West. The members are working on gracing standards while being trained in the principles of range science. Dombeck called the councils a decentralisation of government, where local BLM officials will serve more as facilitators than decision makers. This is a case of dtisen-ownehelping us to identify goals and objectives to protect the land, said Dombeck. We want people working together on the land. We want to simplify the system by getting our employees out of the office and rs Babbitt called it the only way to create a future on the land for Westerners. Our inability to find common ground at the local level has turned them into national issues that have reached the Capitol, he said. There was never any kind of consensus. is not what And consensus-buildin- g the national government is about these days. That's a place were interests sharpen their attacks. All sides have a vested interest in their differences and . sharpening prolonging conflict. He praised Utahs Mormon heritage as one that traditionally has bran able to work to bring consensus to small communities throughout the state. The secretary refused comment on Sen. Pete Domenicis, newest Rangeland Reform Act, which was reintroduced in Washington this week. It could do away with Babbitts councils and give special status to livestock operators on public lands. & yiiiJ.; i 1 ,i;.lTT.rlyp dinner wh'lethey County Republicans enjoy the Lincoln Day LINCOLN DAY DINNER-DucheBill Orton. democrat held seatnow by hear from a candidates running for the 3rd District Congressional the addressed also group.
