Project Deadline Extended to September, 1998...
UMTRA not only has
enough money, but now
enough time as well to
complete all of their local
projects.
Aceording to Jeffrey
l-)eckler, Remedial Pro-
gram Manager for the
Colorado Department of
Public Health and Envi-
ronment, the UMTRA
I I
"All current
schedules
indicate that the
work will be done
in this time
frame. "

A Uni¢ ue Christmas Gift...
Project was granted an ex-
tension by congress to
September 30, 1998, to
enable the project to com-
plete all necessary reme-
dial action.
"All current sched-
ules indicate that-the work
will be done in this time
frame," he says.
Additionally, Deckler
says that both the DOE
and the Department of
Ilealth "have already ap-
propriated enough funding
to complete the project.
Historically, the UMTRA
project has not been his
hard by Federal budget
cuts. It is a high priority
funding project, due to the
fact that construction is
underway."
He continues, "Re-
cent legislation gave the
DOE the authority to keep
the Chaney Cell in Grand
Junction open until the
year 2023."
The Chaney Cell may
come into play, as Deckler
says thai in regards to the
San Miguel Power project,
"it won't get done before
the Naturita site is com-
plete and the Burbank cell
closed. The DOE is talk-
ing to UMPZI'CO to see if
the materials from the San
Miguel Power site can be
placed ill their cell. If
UMP 'CO is not interested
ill taking the materials,
then they will go to the
Chaney Cell."

dog stepped out in front of
their 1996 Mercury Sable.
Alter hitting the dog, Mr.

down a grassy slope,
through a fence and came
to a halt 353 feet from the
road.
Mr. Thompson suf-
fered massive head inju-

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson

pronounced Dehnar Th-
ompson dead from the in-

Trooper Strople, of
the Colorado State Patrol,
investigated the accident:
When Dale Williams gives a Christmas present, he
goes all out. He bought this 1979 Bradley GT Kit Car
as a gift for his w [e, Dianna. The car was constructed
by Don Dove, of Grand Junction. It has a Volkswagon
frame and engine, and came into the Williams family
for an undisclosed amount of cash...
While there have been others like it in the area in
the past, Dianna's little Bradley appears to be one of
a kind in Nucla at present. You can spot it a mile
away, and you're sure to sit up and take notice as it
rolls on past.
