BVHS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
Region Cross Country was held at Valley. The varsity boys did a phenomenal job and ended the regular season with a first place region trophy. They finished the year with an undefeated season, and will run at state next Wednesday. Our top five runners were Adam Platt (3rd), John Cloud (5th), Cajun Syrett (6th), Braxton Syrett (7th), and Chandlyr Tebbs (11th). They came in as a pack and ended up winning by a 33 point margin. Way to run guys!! The varsity girls also ran well. Sierra Leech had the run of the season and finished in 10th place. She will also be going to state as an individual. We also had three of our athletes who were awarded for their academic achievements. Sam Cloud, Cajun Syrett, and Alexis Tebbs were presented Academic All-Region awards. They have shown that they excel not only on the course, but in the classroom as well. Very impressive!! ( Nathan Platt and Scott Barton - Coaches for Cross Country Team of BVHS)

Public Invited to Open Houses on Plan for Glen Canyon Dam Operations
Beginning Nov. 7, the public will have an opportunity to attend public meetings on the development of a long-term plan that will determine the timing and volume of water flows from Glen Canyon Dam. Those flows affect hydroelectricity production, beach recreation, native fish and other river-related plants and animals, as well as archeological sites in Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The long-term plan will address routine operations as well as “experimental” flows that provide additional scientific information about how to protect endangered fish and lessen the effects of dam operations on downstream ecology and other resources. The plan will ensure that regulated flows on the Colorado River meet the goals of supplying hydroelectricity and water for communities, agriculture and industry at the same time they protect the ecologies of the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon. The meetings, to be held jointly by the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service, will take place in: •Salt Lake City, Utah: Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 6 to 8 p.m., Hilton Salt Lake City Center, 255 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101.•Webbased meeting: Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 1 to 3 p.m. Mountain Time. For specific information about the web-based meeting and how to participate, please refer to the project website
at: http://ltempeis.anl.gov. Work on the new plan, known as the Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP), is the first comprehensive review of Glen Canyon Dam operations in 15 years. The purpose of the LTEMP is to use current and newly developed science to improve and protect resources of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon National Park, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area while also complying with the Law of the River, the 1992 Grand Canyon Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and other applicable laws. The LTEMP process will determine the need for future modifications to Glen Canyon Dam operations, and whether to establish an Endangered Species Act Recovery Implementation Program for endangered fish species below Glen Canyon Dam. Changes to dam operations and other actions taken by the Department of the Interior (DOI) will be evaluated as “alternatives” in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS will document and evaluate impacts of the alternatives. The public meetings announced today are part of the “public scoping” phase of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Public scoping gives interested individuals and groups the opportunity to comment on a proposed action, recommend alternatives, and to identify and prioritize the issues to be considered in the EIS anal-
yses. Scoping is the earliest, but not the last, opportunity for people to provide input on the Glen Canyon Dam LTEMP EIS. Each public scoping meeting will include a welcome and project overview session (15 minutes) and opportunities for the public to review exhibits, informally discuss issues, and ask questions of technical experts and managers. More information on the meetings will be announced through local media, newsletters, and the project web site: http://ltempeis.anl.gov. The public can submit comments by the following methods: • Website: http://ltempeis. anl.gov. (the preferred method) • Mail: Glen Canyon LTEMP EIS Scoping, Argonne National Laboratory, EVS/240, 9700 S. Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. Reclamation and the NPS will accept comments that are received or postmarked by Friday, Dec. 30, 2011. To have your name added to the mailing list for future information, visit the Glen Canyon LTEMP EIS website listed below or contact Beverley Heffernan, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, Attention: UC-700, 125 South State Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84138-1147; facsimile (801) 524-3826.
