Eagle project provides a good drink of water for wildlife water tank. A six foot high fence Jason Bywater, son of Randy and Sandy Bywater of Upalco, recently protects thewaterdevelopment from being trampled by wildlife and livestock. Unfortunately, a few elk recenttook it upon themselves to jump ly over the fence and inspect the corrugated tin personally damaging about seven sheets of the tin. Jasons prqject involved replacing the damaged sheets with new ones and attaching horizontal poles around the top of the fence. The hope is that the elk will see the top poles and be less likely to try and jump the fence in the fiiture. Jason also modified and enlarged that portion of the water trough where wildlife and livestock drink making access easier. completed his Eagle Scout project requirements in the Five Mile Canyon area of Anthro mountain in Northeastern Utah. J ason planned, organised, and provided the leadership to five boy scouts and three adults who assisted him in the repairing of the Five Mile Guzzler (Water Development). The Five Mile guzzler was constructed in 1M3 to provide water for wildlife and livestock in the Five Mile Canyon area where water is lacking outside the winter penod. The guzzler collects enow and rain on a corrugated tin apron and directs it downslope to a 3,000 gallon This has been the hardest working group of scouts and adults I have had the privilege of working with, said BLM coordinator Tom Dabbs. W began the project around 9 a.m. and finished around 5 p m., working constantly except for the greathotlinksTunch cooked by Randy Bywater. You cant understate the value of keeping these guzzlers in good repair and collecting the maximum amount of water that folia. In an area that lacks water, adding additional water to that area allows for greater distribution of wildlife and livestock and reduces the grazing pressure in other areas. Jason is a member ofScout Troop 269 of Altamont 2nd Ward under the direction of Scout Master Bert Potto. Tom Dabbs and Randy By water served as the BLM project coordinators. Sather was arrested by the Uintah BaainNareotici Strike Force on April 7 after a search ofhis downtown Vernal business turned cocaine, along with drug paraphernalia. The charges were enhanced because the business is does to a school and church. Bather' preliminary hearing on thoee charges is May 26 in S' District Court in upsus-pccto- d VeraaL Snell Johnson creates bronze sculptures for rich and famous people and for fabulous tourist destinations. Two years ago, the Union High graduate donated a bronze cougar he sculpted to his alma mater. Two weeks ago he unveiled the bronze Olympic Legacy arrowhead dock he was commissioned to design to count down the days, hours and minutes until the Olympic games begin in Salt Lake City. The stadock is placed at the light-ra- il tion on South Temple between 300 West and 400 West. QtmEfi Johnson was born and raised in Uintah County on the Whiterocks Road. He grew up working on the farm and working days at a local gas station to help support his family after his father's health foiled. It was growing up in rural Utah where Johnson says he learned the value of hard work. He wasn't always an artist, but for about the past ten years he has been gaining wide-sprea- d recognition throughout the art world, and he still maintains a strong work ethic. Snells work bridges Utah's cul- - to stand trial on drug charges An 8 District Court judge has bound Cory S. Taylor, 37, over to stand trial on a felony drug charge, weapons violation, and DUI. Taylor's preliminary hearing waa held Monday, May 17, in Duchesne. Taylor was arrested March 13, following a traffic stop for erratic driving which allegedly turned up a large amount of methamphetamine. Ha is charged with second degree felony possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, a third degree felony for possession of a dangerous weapon by n restricted person and three misdemeanor counts. A trial date is pending. Last month Taylor was ordered to serve a 21 day jail term after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of negligent homicide in the death October 1996 traffic-relate- d of Julie Larsen of Pleasant Valley. 18-ho- ur Gi9 x$Mh$MQBIG BuaxB0SMa tural history, bringing together ths pride and tradition of too Native American Indians who inspired the resstate's name to the modern-dsidents who are poised and ready to host the Winter Olympics, said Salt y I Lake Convention Visitors Bureau President Rick Davie. Johnson will create two more countdown docks, one in silver and one in gold. The silver arrowhead with be fashioned out of acrylic for display on Main Street in Park City. It will be dedicated 500 days out from the Feb. 8, 2002, opening ceremony. A gold arrowhead will be placed at Salt Lake City International Airport one year before the games b s' i i n gin. Johnson's design, which mixes the modern Olympic extravaganza with a symbol ofUtsha rich American Indian heritage, went over big with the countdown clock's sponsors Seiko, the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Salt Lake Area chamber of Commerce which paid for the work. The double-aide- d dock weighs 2,500 pounds, is 7 feet wide at the base and 2 feet thick. It is tilted at a angle and is inscribed with the motto of the 2002 Games -'Contract, Culture, Courage. The arrowhead symbolizes the Native American peoples who inhabited Utah for hundreds and thousands of years, especially the Fremont and Ute tribes. Then is an ironic twist to the selection of the arrowhead. During construction of the light rail system in downtown Utah last year, work was halted when Native American artifacts, including arrowheads, were found. Johnson is now a resident ofPhoe-nix- . He has more bronze sculptures to his credit than anyone in the world. His works are odd to collectors from anywhere from $9,000 to $2 million, and include the tall, long, 100,000 pound lion at the entrance of the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas. - 'AN 1 1 UMHUDNlllb Uintah Basin Medical Clinic is pleased to introduce Dr. Amy McNelis and the opening of her Pediatric practice.
