The Bureau of Outdoor Rec-reation administers the Land and Water Conservation Fund providing money to assist state and local govnrements in de-veloping non-Feder- recrea-tion facilities. Revenues for the fund are derived from the sale of the annual Golden Eagle Permit and other federal out-door recreation entrance and user fees. WASHINGTON, D.C. Utah Congressman Gunn McKay re-ported today from Washington he has received word of the approval of an $188,700 grant for three Utah county cities for development of an golf course. The funds were made avail-able on a matching basis to American Fork, Lehi and PL Grove, by the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The money will be used to ac-quire a 10.4 acre site one mile north of American Fork, with the plans including develop-ment of an golf course master plan, earth work and clearing, reservoirs, construc-tion of a club huose, including rest rooms, pro-sho- p and snack bar, and landscaping. The Tri-Cit- y Recreation Area applied for the funds in De-cember of 1970 and with the approval, Congressman McKay reports work can begin immed-iately with the project to be completed before the end of Womens Legislative Council Hears Provo Canyon Discussion "What magnitude of highway through Provo canyon" was the issue discussed at the meeting Thursday of the Women's Legislative Council. Presenting the discussion were Edwin E. Lovelace engineer for District 6 State Road Com-mission, and D. Allen Firmage, chairman of the Provo Canyon Citizens Committee. Also pre-sent was Wayne Winters of the State Road Commission. Mr. Firmage said he speaks as a sportsman who knows every nook and bump in the canyon and is concerned for the environmental future of the canyon, and also as a struct-ural engineer with consider-able experience in highway construction both in the United State and foreign countries. He is chairman of the engineering department at BYU. Explaining that Congress has passed a bill stating that meas-ures shall be taken to maintain or enhance the natural site and that highway construction shall not damage either the beauty of wildlife. Mr. Firmage said it is this assurance which the Provo Canyon Citizens Com-mittee seeks from the Road Commission. He asks that the road commission consider all the uses of the canyon before beginning construction and pre-sent the facts to the people for approval. He said the com-mittee was formed to serve as a He emphasized that he does not care for con-troversy and does not want the issue to go into the courts, but he does hope for the support of the people in reaching a solu-tion. Mr. Firmage expressed his feelings that it is not worth dstroying the beauty of the canyon to save a minute or two of travel time. He said, how-ever, his promise is not again-st a highway as such, but he asks, "What magnitude of high-way!" Armed with a drawing of the proposed alignment as well as a scale model of a portion of the canyon, Mr. Loveless said the new highway is designed as a a two-lan-e 50 mph pavement at present, and that travel saf-ety and quality of road constru-ction have been the prime con-sideration. He said the com-mission plans to purchase right of ways at this time for widen-ing so that the canyon need not be scarred a second time when the ultimate four-- 1 ane road is built. Mr. Lovelace also assured Mr. Firmage and the council members that the highway department has taken great pains to make the new road compatible with the surround-ings and to stay out of the river channel. Actually, he said the channel, some sections of the river will be improved with the present plan, accord-ing to some experts. He also said that foliage would not be cut unnecessarily and that there would be planting to prevent erosion as well as for beauty. A separate landscap-ing contract would be let in the future, he said. Explaining the need for the highway, Mr. Loveless said studies show 4700 cars a day enter the canyon at Olmstead and as many as 13,000 per day have been counted during the peak season on weekends. Pro-jected studies 20 years from enow show at least 20,000 ve-hicles per day will use the canyon, the same volume as at the Point of the Mountain presently. It costs more to consider the natural beauty of an area when building a road, Mr. Lovelace said. He estimates the first part of the road from Olmstead to Nunns at 2 million and from Nunns to Wildwood at $3 million. Designs are not completed from that poitn. Because the governor has in-terceded with a request for a complete approved enviorn-ment-study and report on the highway, construction will be delayed until late summer or fall, Mr. Lovelace said. During the question and ans-wer period, Lovelace assured the group that Wicks Rock would not be disturbed. He also said the old road will remain slower travel and will be turn-ed over to the county for main-tenance. Mr. Firmage said he hopes for a master plan to keep the canyon more beautiful and called for support of the people to keep it that way. Following the discussion, President Pauline Olpin direct-ed the council in selecting a nominating committee for new officers to be voted upon at the April 8 meeting. She said can-didates, also may be nominated from the floor at that meeting. Following elections a lunch-on- e will be held at 12:30 at the Riverside Country Club. Tick-ets for $3.25 may be purchesed from Mrs. Clair Acord. Guest speaker at the April meeting will be Richard Howe who will discuss the accomp-lishments of the 1971 legisla-ture. Mrs. Olpin is chairman of the meeting. LIE DETECTORS For Sale or Rent ELECTRONIC DETECTION DEVICES J. H. Noyes - 7 South Main - PI.

The water is also used for electric power gener-ation at the Deer Creek Pow-erplan- t. State of Utah to Supervise All Deer Creek Recreation Development, operation, and administration of all recrea-tional facilities and uses at the Deer Creek Reservoir will be administtered by the Utah De-partment of Natural Resources. This action was announced recently in a joint statement by Gordon Harmston, Director of the Natural Resources; D. L. Crandall, Regional Director Bureau of Reclamation; and Harold Mendenhall, Superin-tendent of the Provo River Waters Users' Association. Deer Creek Reservoir, has provided boating and excellent fishing since it was completed in 1941. Recreation at the reservoir has been administer-ed in the past by the Provo River Water Users' Assn. The Association has provided three boat camps on the east shore which cater to fishermen, said Mr. Mendenhall. These camps will continue in operation until new facilities are completed. Four new recreational areas are now to be provided at the rsrvoir. The areas were desig-ned by the National Park Ser-vice. They are to be develop-ed and supervised by the Utah Department of Natural Resour-ces. Funds for development will be provided by both the Federal and State Govern-ments. Under Public Law 89-7- 2 the Federal Government will provide up to $100,000 over a period from 1972 to 1976. State funds will be expended as soon as they are made avail-able. "The major recreational area to be located 1 mile northeast of Deer Creek Dam, will be known as Wallsburg Point," stated Mr. Harmston. "The area is characterized by genet-l- y rolling terrain and is direct-ly accessible from U.S. High-way 189. The hills offer necess-ary protection for a marina. To the west is an excellent scenic view of the reservoir and majestic Mt. Timpanogos" When completed, Wallsburg Point will include a boat ramp, campgrounds, a trailer village, picnic areas, a g station, water and sanitary facilities, and a marina devel-opment with food, fishing, and camping supplies. Shade trees and other landscaping will be provided. In general, the area will be developed into an at-tractive and efficient recrea-tion site situated in a beautiful alpine setting. Wallsburg Point is to be sup-plemented by three smaller developments. Rainbow Bay and Center Bay on the east shore will provide roadside rest stops and day use facilit-ies. Decker Creek on the west shore line will be accessible to boaters only and will include a shoreline boat camp and pic-nic areas. Mr. Harmston explained that the $7 State Recreational Pass will be honored this year at the Deer Creek recreational areas; otherwise, a fee of $1 per day will be charged for their use. Water skiing will al-so be enjoyed at the reservoir under the direction of the De-partment of Natural Resour. ces. Deer Creek Dam was com-pleted in 1941 by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Provo River Project. Mr. Cran-- PLEASANT GROVE HIGH SCHOOL NEWS and VIEWS A Tribute to Alden Neil Barrett by Shaun McCausland Alden Barrett was a real per-son. He was well-rounde- d and excellent in many ways. He was enthusiastic about any ac-tivity that he participated in and got the people around him enthused too. He was always in the peak of condition or pre-pared for anything for which he was responsible. He would stay after school for hours to better his performance in de-bate or drama. Alden was sensitive and towards others and a very good friend. His own goals were higher than those expect-ed of him. He was very brilli-ant and always thought things through well. Finally he ex-pressed himself well both in his writing and in his speaking. Alden was an active person. He was president of the Debate Club and a superior debater. He went undefeated at the Al-pine Invitational Speech Meet. He was a semi-finali- at the Weber State Invitational and at the Region Debate Meet. He was also active in drama. Some of his roles in plays were Whitney in "Life with Fath-er," Fred Chalmes in "Okla-home- " and the President of the United States in "The Mouse That Roared." He want-ed very much to some day play Hamlet. Alden was very good in the area of science. At the time of his death he was working on a cure for a rare blood disease. He had an unusual knowledge of the composition and working of blood. He wanted to become a male nurse and help people. This is what he wished to de-vote his life to. Alden was active in and a moving force behind the Legis-lative Council at the high school and had a superior knowledge of the rules of parliamentary procedure. Finally, he was ac-tively involved in trying to help fellow students who were hav-ing trouble of any kind such as drugs, friendships, etc. To conclude, we will give a few of the things the teachers who knew him best have said: "He was a very good friend." "He was wise beyond his years." "He was appreciated most by those who knew him and least by those who didn't. "He never knew how good he was, or how much we lov-ed him." |
