Show Review - Wednesday, May 9, 1984 - Page 3 Flood committee meets with stake presidents Sherri Atwood, Emergency Preparedness director for Pleasant Grove, said that members of the flood committee met JThursday night with stake presidents or their representatives to hx)rdinate flood prevention efforts. Mrs. Atwood said that the stake presidents have all been working on plans in case flooding occurs in their' areas. The purpose of the meeting was two-fold- : to coordinate plans between the stakes and the city and to help each group be aware of the facilities available. The slide area above Wadley Springs was discussed as being a definite concern. Should the mud slide into the canal when it has water in it severe flooding could occur, it was noted. The flood committee told the presidents that the canyons are being monitored closely to watch for slides. Mrs. Atwood said that the civil defense siren on top of the city hall will not be used if evacuation becomes necessary but that telephone calls to those in danger will be made. Police officers using the loudspeakers in their cars can also warn people of flood danger, she said. The stake presidents said that stake boundary lines would be overlooked in case of disaster. Maps were drawn up with the shaded areas showing potential danger areas within the city. Mrs. Atwood said that basically the maps showed the danger areas as those that were already reported in the Review but one new area was outlined. The area could possibly be effected should a very large mud slide come down Battlecreek Canyon. The flood committee felt that should that circumstance take place it could go from the mouth of the canyon as far south as Nathaniel Drive, as far west as the Murdock Canal and north to about 100 South. Right now everything appears to be stable in the canyons and no significant movement has been noted, Mrs. Atwood explained.

All administrative costs and thousands of DWR personnel-hour- s were essentially donated to the program. The Division has contracted an independent consultant to assist in the preparation of a comprehensive report documenting the emergency feeding program. The report will include a complete accounting of expenditures. Of the $304,000 in donations to the emergency feeding fund, over a third of the money came from Utahns. We are truly grateful to the people for this. Your $100,000 bought 500 tons of ieed. Think of all the animals alive today because of that. We also want to thank Utah Army and National Guard units, local chapters of the Utah Wildlife Federation, and the dozens of businesses and corporations which donated feed, supplies and equip-ment to help save the animals. Of course, no price can be put on the thousands of hours of time donated by the people of central and northern Utah, without whom the program would have failed. Their unceasing efforts to carry feed to desperate, starving deer and elk through deep snow in subzero temperatures are truly remarkable, and a powerful testimony to our natural concern for wildlife. This feeding effort was an emergency. It was not planned, but put into action under the emergency conditions facing these animals. Some mistakes were made. No one is perfect, and (as in all things) we probably could have done better. But let's hope we never have to find that out. We are proud of the work everyone did; proud of and grateful to the people of this state who helped in whatever way. Our spring range rides to determine herd conditions are over now. Our conservation officers tell us that, although there were heavy losses in some areas, most of the animals survived. The doe deer look strong, and many will bear twin fawns next month. Life goes on. Thanks to the thousands of Utahns who care, we saved our deer and elk. --Homer D.
