Local Region i nc UA1LY Spectrum 4A Saturday, March 28, 1992 Archaeology buffs can learn to dig A' ir V'- ST. GEORGE An archaeological certification course is being sponsored by the Dixie Jennifer Jack Chapter of the Utah Statewide Archaeological Society (USAS). The course is taught statewide by professional archaeologists to interested amateurs who want to learn how to locate and record archaeological sites in this area. This strenuous course is taught in three levels, each about 10 weeks in length. The first level is an introduction to archaeology and the prehistory and history of southwestern Utah and the Arizona Strip.

USAS members who recently completed Level I are: Becky Aldred, Beverly Gillis, Dick Pet-tit, Amy Ross, Jim Starr, Paul Weaver, and Karl White of St. George, Colin Harrison of Ivins, Forrest Hill of Kanab, Walt Toone of Hurricane and Jeff Frey, Will Oborn and Richard Snell of Kayenta. Level II is an indepth look at artifacts, archaeological site forms and the use of topographical maps to locate sites. The students are taught to recognize and identify stone tools, ceramic potsherds, and historic artifacts. During Level II, the instructor takes the students in the field to learn how to find and record archaeological sites, said Diana Christensen, Bureau of Land Management Arizona Strip District.

To complete this level, each student is required to record six archaeological sites. Upon completion of Level II, the students are certified and can locate and record sites exactly as the professional archaeologist does. Fees for each level are $45 for USAS members and $65 for non-members. The fees are used to obtain a professional instructor for the course. An optional advanced level gives the students an opportunity to learn how to conduct archaeological excavation and participate in a local dig, said Christensen.

The local dig, presently ongoing, is sponsored by the BLM's Cedar City District. Volunteers are welcome to help excavate these Anasazi pueblos Monday noon through Friday afternoon. The sites are located southwest of the Southgate Golf Course. Special tours for the public of one site and associated artifacts are planned during Utah Prehistory Week, on April 7, 9, 11. The advanced level will be taught sometime later this fall.

If interested, call Christensen at the BLM Arizona Strip District office. i i ,1 rain iii! 5 SANTA CLARA The yard of Ralph Hafen became flooded by all the recent precipitaiton.

This year, Zion will join the list of parks receiving this support that local residents and concerned citizens alone can provide, said Rose.

Eyre has protested that the survey is being conducted in part by Bud Scruggs, former chief of staff to outgoing Gov. Norm Ban-gerter. Eyre considers Scruggs a political opponent. "We'll do it," said GOP executive director Dave Hansen. "We recognize the concern; we'll try to work it out." Eyre's objects to Scruggs' close ties to Mike Leavitt, who is running against Eyre for the GOP gubernatorial nomination.

At one time, Scruggs was head of Leavitt's campaign strategy committee, although Scruggs said he left that volunteer post weeks ago. Before going to work for Ban-gerter in 1988, Scruggs was Leavitt's partner in a successful Republican campaign consulting firm.

While a strategist for Leavitt last year, Scruggs criticized some of Eyre's campaign tactics. He has since said he regrets those comments. Eyre wants such a survey conducted, but warned that party leaders go forward with the Scruggs-Magleby survey "at the expense of party unity." Tentative plans call for.

both Republicans and Democrats to participate in the surveys. Originally, the plan was for the GOP to put up $15,000, state Democrats $15,000 and the lieutenant governor's office a like amount. But there's a hitch. "We want to go ahead with the survey," said Peter Billings state Democratic Party chairman. "But we won't pay $15,000.

We won't split it 50-50 with the Republicans because there are a lot more Republican caucuses." (NEWS INFORMATION) News tips and comments on our cover oge -call 673-3511.

Worthington has been sentenced to 35 years to life in prison for slaying a nurse and holding eight hostages in a hospital maternity wing. "Thirty-five years that's my life!" Worthington told his attorney after 3rd District Judge Timothy Hanson imposed the sentence. Hanson handed down the sentence late Thursday after hearing testimony from Worthington, members of his family and his victims. Hostages asked the judge to impose a life sentence without the possibility of parole, but Worthington family members and friends described him as a kind, loving man, a leader in the Mormon Church and the Boy Scouts, and they asked for mercy. "In many ways, I with this had gone to trail," said nurse Susan Woolley, one of the hostages.

"I know his behavior over the years has been unconscionable. He's been allowed to threaten, to coerce and to intimidate. I feel the plea bargain has allowed much of this to be swept under the carpet." The judge described the hospital as a sanctuary and said, "Unfortunately, Mr. Worthington in- Richard Worthington vaded that sanctuary and made it a place of terror and that is inexcusable." At times weeping uncontrollably during the four-hour hearing, Worthington told Hanson, "I literally, hour upon hour, day upon day, sat in my cell and cried for Karla Roth," the nurse he shot to death at the beginning of the siege. "Do you believe in repentance and forgiveness?" the 40-year-old landscaper said to the victims and their families.

"What do I need to do to you to make you understand that repentance doesn't take a lifetime sometimes?".
