The Issue of Roads on Public Lands

by NormaN mcKee

In 1866, Congress passed the Mining Act Law, granting in section 8 (later known as Revised Statue 2477), “the right-of-way for the construction of highways over public lands, not reserved for public use …” At the time, a highway was interpreted as meaning any type of road or trail used by wagons, buggies, or whatever. For the next 110 years, western settlers, miners, ranchers, loggers, recreationists, and others established many roads across public lands. Since then, the roads had a lot of good use, but a few, not so good.

In recent decades, some of the newly-formed roads, were only meant to be used temporarily. Other so-called roads are only spider-like two-tracks going to the same destination. Many other twotrack roads developed as 4X4s and ATVs became popular and

some drivers were inclined to drive anywhere remotely possible. A short-term road was often one of the many deadend spur roads on US Forest Service lands to areas where timber was logged. Once the trees were harvested, the temporary road was closed with the hope that native grasses and other plant life would reestablish in the logged area.

These closures also were to provide seclusion for native wildlife in areas where human activity was becoming more and more rampant. Unfortunately, a local politician has been very vocal that 75% of the necessary roads on local forest lands have been closed.

Really! Where?

In 1976, Congress repealed the Revised Statue (R.S.) 2477 by passing the Federal Land Policy and ManRoads

14th Annual Escalante Canyons Art Festival Just Around the Corner

ESCALANTE - The 14th Annual Escalante Canyons Art Festival runs from Friday, September 22nd when the artists arrive to begin painting, to Sunday, October 1st when we close things out with the final art sale and brunch. This art, literary, and musical gathering is one of the premier events in Southern Utah and has plein air artists painting throughout three counties—Wayne, Garfield and Kane. The program this year is full of creative activities, educational programs, great fun, and fine entertainment, including a new event —an evening of films curated as part of the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

What lovelier canvas could one wish for? Vast beautiful public lands: Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSEMN), Dixie National Forest, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and several Utah State Parks surround the town of Escalante on Scenic Byway 12 between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks. As you travel throughout the region you are likely to see artists creating works en plein air (a French term which means “in full air”), inspired by these world-renowned landscapes.

PLEIN AIR COMPETITION: Plein-air artists creating works in oil, pastel, watercolor, or mixed media work across the three-county region to compete for prizes valued at more than $10,000. Artists of all abilities, experience levels, and ages are encouraged to join the competition. A special category with cash awards provides incentive for young artists to participate. Besides the week-long painting competition, two paint-outs, where artists have a limited amount of time to produce a work, are scheduled. One is the Celebrate Public Lands Paint-Out where artists will venture onto surrounding public lands and complete an artwork in less than 8 hours and proceeds from paintings sales will be donated to Grand StaircaseEscalante Partners. The other is a newly popular offering for the festival – the Nocturne

Syrett Appointed to State Tourism Board BRYCE CANYON CITY Over a century ago when Reuben C. Syrett (Ruby) moved his family to southern Utah and established Ruby’s Inn, he never could have imagined how the state would progress or that his future posterity would be a part of it. One hundred and one years later, Lance Syrett, Ruby’s grandson and general manager of Ruby’s Inn, is directly involved in Utah’s tourism industry as the newly appointed board chairman for the Utah State Board of Tourism Development.

“I am honored to be selected to fill this position, and I hope to be an aid in the growth of Utah’s tourism industry,”

Panguitch Culinary Water Use Curtailed as City Seeks New Water Sources PANGUITCH – Panguitch City continues to operate under a state of emergency after coming “very close” to running out of culinary water at the end of August, according to the minutes of a city emergency meeting held on September 1st.

The state of emergency was declared after it was determined that the majority of the springs feeding the city water system had become contaminated with E. coli bacteria as a result of the Brian Head fire. Five of the seven springs serving the city have had to be turned out of the system as a result of the contamination, with the city now relying predominantly on the city well for culinary water service.

DEMONSTRATIONS: There are too many single and group demonstrations being provided to list them all.

Check the festival website for details on all our free demonstrations:

As a result, the city has imposed a moratorium on all outdoor watering with city water.

The water shortage situation has been helped considerably over the past several weeks due to the cooperation of Panguitch citizens, who, according to City Manager Lori Talbot, have greatly cut back water usage by not watering outside since the moratorium was imposed.

“The larger water users have been especially great to work with, and have not watered outside at all—these include the city, the cemetery, the schools. But residents, too. We appreciate everyone abiding by this,” said Talbot.

said Syrett. “I don’t think my grandfather would have ever guessed that his family would play a part in developing and improving tourism in Utah, but I think he would be proud.”

Syrett was appointed chairman on Aug. 11, 2017

by Governor Herbert and will serve on the board until his term expires on July 1, 2019.

His new role as chairman involves providing leadership and guidance for those in the tourism industry. As chairman, Syrett will run meetings and oversee the different board committees.

“Lance brings tremendous integrity, business acumen, insight and a great sense of fairness to our deliberations with the Board of Tourism Development,” said Vicki Varela, managing director at the Utah Office of Tourism, Film and Global Branding. “As board chair, he is a valuable asset for helping us continue to grow Utah’s $8.4 billion tourism industry.”

In August 2011, Syrett was appointed to be on the Utah Office of Tourism’s advisory board. He was selected as a representative for the Utah hotel and lodging industry. During his time on the board, Syrett has been a part of Utah’s growing economy. Today, the Utah State Government has the highest funds its ever had at $21 million. These funds will help Utah in its continued growth.

All Tourism Development board members are appointed by the governor. The board seats are filled by either an area or industry representative.

Each member represents several Utah counties or a certain element of the tourism industry,

such as the lodging industry or the ski industry. The members of the board are experts in their field of tourism and all donate their time and talents to the Utah Office of Tourism.

The Utah Office of Tourism is a segment within the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. The Tourism office’s main role is to encourage tourism in Utah through media relations and advertising. The Utah State Board of Tourism Development helps the Office of Tourism in many projects. One task the board assists with is determining what businesses and counties receive funding for out-ofstate advertising.

“As chairman, I hope to build on the momentum from the previous years and continue to drive business to rural Utah,” Syrett said. “One project that I want to continue to grow is the winter campaign.

During the 2016-2017 year, the campaign had over 61 million online impressions, and I want that number to increase.”

Nut roasters and glaze will be available for purchase.

Reed and Karen have brought in a lot of products for special sales and more new products to keep things fun and interesting. They also have stove pellets on special as well as the end of season sale on Husqvarna mowers and tillers.

More items are on clearance as they make room for new products. Friday will be a day of fun and celebration as the store continues to grow with the town's support.

Another big part of the event will be a book signing.

Following the Sept. 12, 2017 release of the new family-friendly fantasy novel, The Keeper of Magical Creatures, Heidi Lee, Publisher of Moonstone Lily Publishing and author of the new fantasy novel series (writing under the

pseudonym K. C. Logan), is returning to Escalante for the first book signing to kick off her book promotion tour. She’ll be signing books as a featured author at the Escalante Home Center’s annual birthday celebration, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. this Friday, Sept. 22, 2017.

“When this story first presented itself to me,” recalls the author and publisher when reminiscing about writing this first novel in the KMC Chronicles book series, “I was shocked. Historically, I am a crime-fiction, thriller and murder mystery writer. So to have a fantasy novel materialize in my mind caught me completely off-guard.”

Lee loves to invite and include other people into her fictional worlds. “Many of the characters in The Keeper of Magical Creatures have elements of people I know or have met in real life. I find people fascinating, especially when it comes to friendships and close family member relationships,” says the author. “I would not be the person I am today without the multitude of relationships

I’ve had over the years. This is true for all of us, which is, I believe, what has so many people feel they can relate to the characters and storylines in the book.”

“The reason I decided to write and publish this book,” she goes on to say, “was because I felt there was a hole that had been left in the wake of the massive success of the Harry Potter Series. People of all age levels, income levels and walks of life love and fully embrace the Harry Potter books.

They contain an extraordinary and amazingly tangible magical world that everyone wants to be a part of. As a publisher and Harry Potter lover myself, I really sensed that these readers (myself included) were ready for another fantasy series that they could dive into and would fill the void left by the final book in the Harry Potter Series. I’ve been told that my new series, the KMC Chronicles, helps fill that void.”

To see the reader reviews of The Keeper of Magical Creatures, visit the Moonstone Lily Publishing website (www. moonstonelily.com) and Amazon.com. Copies of the book will be available in hardcover and paperback to purchase during the Sept. 22nd book signing and can also be purchased through Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other major book retailers as well as through the Moonstone Lily Publishing website. A generous portion of the profits from each sale goes to the Kylie Rowand Foundation (www.kyliestrong.org), a non-profit organization funding research for lower-toxic cures for pediatric cancer and providing support to families in crisis during cancer treatment.

agement Act (FLPMA). The new law recognized all roads and rights-of-way established and used prior to 1976: “nothing in this title shall have the effect of terminating any right-of-way … hereto issued, granted, or permitted.” This change caused some confusion about who owns and controls the routes crossing public lands. All too often, the federal land management agencies were confronted with state and county road interests on one side and some environmental groups' strong conservation agendas on the other side of the road issue.

In 2012, the Utah Attorney General’s Office filed 22 lawsuits in federal court claiming title to R.S. 2477 rights-of-way. Garfield and Kane were the leading counties in this fight. Currently, the state is pursuing a plan to somewhat settle the “who controls the roads” issue by putting together data to get the roads on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands settled. Several state lawyers within Utah’s Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office (PLPCO) are gathering data to settle the issue of road control on Utah’s BLM lands, including the BLM National Monuments, such as the Grand Staircase-Escalante in Garfield and Kane Counties.

This data will also be used by Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona in his effort to construct a bill to present in Congress to get the road issue settled throughout most all public lands in the Western United States.

Utah’s PLPCO is headed

by Kathleen Clark. She was a former Director of Utah’s Department of Natural Re-

sources. Following that, she also served as the National Director of the Bureau of Land Management in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, her experience and expertise will be helpful.

Under the 1976 FLPMA law, all roads in Utah used for 10 years prior to October 21, 1976, could be retained for public use. Therefore, accurate data on the use and condition of roads used prior to 1976 became critical. Rather than waiting for a road to be closed, then reacting to the situation, knowledgeable people were now needed to get the accurate data before those elderly people were no longer available.

Individuals were selected to represent and give depositions on their knowledge about the various roads of each county. Since I had been closely involved in the extensive and almost daily use of most roads in Garfield and Kane Counties since 1968, I was requested to represent Western Garfield County. I then spent several days earlier this summer with PLPCO lawyers travelling most of the roads in my assigned area of the county. Others did the same thing in their portion of the counties they were chosen to represent.

In early August, court depositions were scheduled. I spent two days recording every detail of my use and memory of approximately 153 roads in the western part of Garfield County. Before we started, I clearly stated that I was giving no personal opinion on my feelings about how I felt about the future of each road. I only stated clearly how I remember each road’s status before 1976, and my use of each particular road. I had used nearly all the roads in question, some many times, in my work as a state

Wildlife Conservation Officer. I explored every road, made animal census counts, worked on projects, made surveys of wildlife use on various plants, and checked hunters and others using these back-country roads. The deposition hearing was interesting and very detailed in the data needed. Besides the state lawyer and recorder, two other lawyers representing national and state environmental organizations were present.

They attended in mostly a listening capacity.

Hopefully, all of us that use our public roads will soon see this issue largely resolved.

Our public officials, leaders of environmental groups, and other users of our public land roads need to come to a sensible consensus on the future use and maintenance of these roads. One of the most concerning problems I see in the future is the yearly costs to maintain many of these needed roads. Many backcountry two-track roads are becoming just gutted gullies as 4X4s, ATVs, and other users often abuse their privilege to use these areas of access.

Litter, vandalism of signs, and off-road problems are all too common. Perhaps a few socalled roads need to be closed to protect resources. Others need more regular maintenance. I feel a more sensible consensus approach to management and use of our public lands and roads is badly needed. These lands are the future for us and our posterity.

Let us try, more than ever, to do better in their use and management!

sure everyone that the water system is safe. “We’re doing multiple testings up to three times per week. It is safe and there is no E. coli our water system. We can’t say that enough because people get worried,” said Talbot.

The city conducts samples each week and sends the samples to labs at Southern Utah University for analysis.

The Brian Head fire burned very hot over several sections of the Dixie National Forest that include Panguitch’s spring water sources. City Manager Talbot said as soon as the situation occurred, the city started testing the water right away. “We got some bad tests the first part of August,” she said. She noted that it is still unclear how the contamination is getting into the springs, but that surface water is contaminating the groundwater. “Those springs could possibly have to be completely redone—that would be the worst case scenario,” said Talbot.

Meanwhile, Panguitch City is actively seeking financial resources to drill a secondary city well, and is working directly with the Utah Governor’s office to secure funding.

The city estimates that the cost of a new well will be $850,000 to $900,000, and could take three to six months to get up and running. The city hopes to have a new well completed by spring, when water demand will rise again.

“Panguitch City does have plenty of water for drinking, cooking, washing, etcetera.”

Said Talbot.

The request to curtail outdoor watering will remain in place until other water resources are generated.

“On behalf of the city and the mayor and council we appreciate everyody’s patience during this process and want to remind everyone that their water is safe,” said Talbot.

Wills, Trusts, and More How to Clear Title to Property When Someone Dies

by Jeffery J. mcKeNNa

Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k) s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns.

Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death. The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines related to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death.

Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement accounts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received. Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need for the assets.

Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement.

For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred.

Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking

proceeds out of most retirement accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs).

However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum distributions.

These required minimum distributions are based on the life expectancy of the owner as well as the named beneficiary. The required minimum distribution rules allow the account owner to combine his or her life expectancy with the named beneficiary’s life expectancy.

Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as beneficiary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy.

However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best beneficiary choice.

Naming the children or grandchildren as beneficiaries of different individual retirement accounts during the life of the account owner can al-

low for a greater “stretch” of the income tax deferral during the owner’s life and especially upon the owner’s death. This is true even though there are restrictions regarding the use of a child or grandchild’s combined life expectancy.

There are many issues related to retirement accounts within an individual’s estate plan. It is very important to review decisions regarding retirement accounts when doing your estate plan.

t H e Cad

Professional golfer Tommy Bolt was playing in Los Angeles and had a caddy with a reputation of constant chatter.

Before they teed off, Bolt told him, "Don't say a word to me.

And if I ask you something, just answer yes or no."

During the round, Bolt found the ball next to a tree, where he had to hit under a branch, over a lake and onto the green. He got down on his knees and looked through the trees and sized up the shot.

"What do you think?" he asked the caddy. "Five iron?"

"No," the caddy said.

"What do you mean, not a five iron?" Bolt snorted.

"Watch this shot."

The caddy rolled his eyes.

"Nooo, Mr. Bolt."

But Bolt hit it and the ball stopped about two feet from the hole. He turned to his caddy, handed him the five-iron and said, "Now what do you think about that? You can talk now."

"Mr. Bolt," the caddy said, "that wasn't your ball."

During my freshman year at university, I worked nights as a waiter.

The following year, wanting my evenings free, I applied for a dormitory maintenance job and was asked, "How are you on punctuality?"

"Oh, I'm good at that," I blurted out without thinking. "I'm an English major."

Gym Dandy

I was self-conscious about going to the gym, because I thought the pounds I had put on would make me stand out among the spandex-clad regulars. I chose a treadmill in the corner so I'd be inconspicuous.

However, as I exercised, my worst fears came true. At least a dozen people turned to stare at me periodically. I thought it might be my imagination, but then one woman even squinted to get a better look.

Mortified, I stepped off the machine to leave. When I turned around, I realized that the gym's only wall clock had been hanging just inches above my head.

A friend of mine is a deputy with the sheriff's department canine division.

One evening, the deputy was dispatched to the scene of a possible burglary, where he discovered the back door of a building ajar. He let the dog out of his patrol car and commanded it to enter and seek.

Jumping from the back seat, the dog headed for the building.

After lunging through the doorway, the dog froze and backed out. My friend was puzzled until he investigated further. Then he noticed the sign on the building: "Veterinarian's Office."

Wayne County Current Events SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 A few notable events have been presently taking place in Wayne County that really need our recognition.

To be quite honest I really haven’t taken a look at the Chinese calendar in quite some time but from past experience I do know that somewhere, high up in the Imperial Palace, in someplace maybe called Yang Shing, there is a shaved headed monk sitting on a grass mat and his only job is to walk down and check the front gate royal suggestion box, at least twice weekly, for things to put on the upcoming Chinese yearly calendar. And if the Year of the Skunk ain’t on it this year I am sure Jeremy Simmons, of Loa, is wondering why the heck not?

In the event no one else has been following Jeremy’s Facebook posts, well it is your own fault if you have found yourself wondering why there are so many skunks skins strung up on the roadside fence on SR Highway 24 near Dry Valley.

During my Cabela’s climate change paranoid shopping spree I also learned that in Louisiana, duck boats and beer cooler purchases are really up right now.

While on hold with the Cabela’s customer service my next door neighbor told me she would kick in an extra hundred bucks if I would buy a rubber boat big enough to carry all of her cats, I covered the phone with my palm of my hand and told her for an extra fifty I could get one that could carry her donkey too and Cabela’s was willing to throw in one of those Yeti coolers with proof of purchase. My neighbor whispered “OK.” The Cabela’s customer service representative came back on the line and told me I was good to go and ask if I wanted two day shipping, I said “Sure.”

Bryce Canyon City Adds Employee Housing BRYCE CANYON CITYBryce Canyon National Park attracts over 1 million visitors each year. To keep up with the growing number of travelers, Ruby’s Inn—a historic hotel located outside Bryce Canyon National Park—employs over 600 people during peak season. To meet the demands of visitors and employees, Bryce Canyon City opened the doors to a new employee housing building.

“As with many resort areas such as ours, we have to attract a large amount of seasonal staff,” said Kam Roundy, employee housing manager. “Housing for employees in the Bryce Canyon and Tropic areas is a huge issue. For several years, our seasonal staff

have had an incredibly difficult time finding a place to stay for the season.”

The new apartment building, Bryce Rim Apartments, is the only apartment-style housing in the area that is specifically designed for seasonal workers. The building has a total of 24 units, and includes both family-style housing with two to three bedrooms, as well as single employee dorm rooms. Washers and dryers are also available, along with a commons area that can be used by the building’s residents.

“National parks and resort areas, in general, have a hard time attracting a seasonal workforce, and Bryce Canyon City is no different,” said Roundy. “Bryce Canyon City's number one problem is attracting seasonal labor. Factoring in the lack of housing, having enough employees is almost impossible. When employees need a place to stay,

they either have to stay in a trailer or with someone they know, which many people don’t have access to either.”

Ruby’s Inn saw the employee housing problem as an opportunity and decided to build the Bryce Rim Apartments on Ruby’s Inn’s property. The entire planning, building and certifying process took less than a year, with planning taking place summer 2016 and construction starting that November. Most recently, Bryce Rim Apartments received its certification of occupancy on Aug. 1, 2017.

“These apartments are the greatest thing to happen to Bryce Canyon City since the stoplight was put in,” said Roundy. “Ruby’s Inn is a beautiful place for people to live and work. With the new building, Ruby’s Inn will double its available beds for staffing from about 120 to 240.

These beds are in addition to

the 100 RV spots for seasonal workers.”

Bryce Valley area News

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 orvickidiane36@hotmail.com While watching the news recently someone gave a quote I would like to share. I cannot quote who said it because I did not catch that part but the quote is something that we all need to hear. "Service to others is the rent we pay for our place on earth." With all the wonderful service that has been going on recently it is so good to know that in spite of problems around the globe it is good to hear of the wonderful folks who are giving of themselves so freely to help others in this time of crisis.

Alma & Anita Fletcher had company this past week.

Their grandson, Tyler Hansen is engaged to be married to Chelsey Conde of Logan. Her parents and sister came to visit with other family members and they stayed with Alma & Anita.

Chelsey's parents are Stuart & Eva Conde of Logan and her sister is Christina. They all had a nice visit and while the family was all here they held a bridal shower for Chelsey at Pauline Hansen's home on September

16th. It was a lot of fun for everyone and helped to get the almost marrieds off to a good start.

They plan on getting married on October 19th. The newly weds will stay in Logan after they are married to finish up their schooling. Tyler's parents are Scott & Pauline Hansen of Cannonville where most of the visitors stayed this weekend. It was a nice time and they all enjoyed the visit to the Bryce Area.

Frankie & Gayle Moore attended the 80th birthday celebration of Gayle's mother, Dian Ferrin of Farmington Utah. All of the family got together to make their Mom's Birthday grand.

Gayle, Frankie and Wade went up and stopped on the way to pick up Ryan and Nellysa Moore in Lehi Utah. It was a nice time to travel. Congratulations to Dian on her birthday.

We send our condolences to the Boger Family on the passing of Ed Boger. He will be missed by them and we send our prayers and thoughts to them at this time.

We send get well quick

wishes to Marcia Evans as she recovers from a serious hiking accident that has knocked her off her feet for awhile. Hope to soon see her smile and happy countenance soon and then we will know she is feeling better. You are in our prayers Marcia.

On Tuesday, Sept. 19th, the Henrieville Ward held their annual Family Harvest Dinner. It was a Chili Cook-out with delicious food. They also held a Hoe Down and kicked up their heels to have a great time. The planners were Jenni Shakespear & Marie Jaggar and they did a super job and many thanks were sent their way.

Henrieville Ward will have their Primary Program on Sunday the 24th. This is always a very special program. Tropic Ward held their Primary Program today and it is so great to see the kids having such a great time singing and giving talks for us to enjoy. Those kids really know their songs. In Cannonville they had Danny and Sherri Meisenbaugh of Escalante as the speakers. Danny is a High Councilman in the Escalante Stake.

Rae Hughes is home in her own house and seeming to enjoy being out of the hospital. Her daughter, Charlotte Mathews is staying with her for awhile to help her along.

Congratulations to Isaac Johnson on becoming an Elder before he leaves for his Mission to Billings Montana. Also to Jacob Barney on his baptism and Sam Houston on being baptized as a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Elder Ken & Artoise Platt and son Kenyon Platt have all finished their mission callings.

Their service was very appreciated.

Utah Water Watch Volunteer Opportunities

courtesy escalaNte river Watershed PartNershiP

Volunteers gather for the free Tier One Training to learn the skills to become part of the citizen water monitoring program. Tier 1 is the beginner level designed for the general public and provides first stage monitoring including collecting baseline data used for education and screening.

ESCALANTE/BOULDER - Volunteers are needed to help improve our area’s water quality. Through a collaborative effort between lead agency Utah Water Watch (UWW) and the Escalante River Watershed Partnership (ERWP), BLM’s Kanab Field Office, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Dixie National Forest, the Citizen Science water monitoring program for public lands begins this fall with volunteer training in Escalante.

Utah Water Watch is managed

by Utah State University Water Quality Extension in partnership with the Utah Division of Water Quality and conducts water quality education and data collection programs across the state. The volunteer program empowers citizens to learn and share knowledge about their local watersheds and practice good stewardship while collecting data for public databases and local water managers.

UWW offers two levels of training for the water monitoring program. Tier 1 is the

beginner level designed for the general public and provides first stage monitoring including collecting baseline data used for education and screening. Tier 2 offers more advanced training and work collecting high quality data for assessment purposes and is geared towards those with some scientific knowledge, training or Tier 1 field experience. Sarah Morgan of Escalante has been a volunteer water monitor with UWW for more than two years at the Tier 1 level and is excited to participate in the Tier 2 training this year. Sarah volunteered as a water monitor to be involved and help her community. “Water is a life requirement. I like that I am able to contribute to making sure our water is okay.” Sarah says the program is a great outdoor experience for families or groups and that the UWW managers are great about giving feedback and showing appreciation.

The free training sessions will be held on Friday, October 20 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. for new volunteers in Tier 1

training, and Saturday, October 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Tier 2 training. Classes will be at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center, 755 W. Main St., Escalante and will include both classroom and field exercises. Friday’s training includes snacks and Saturday’s training will include lunch. After the classroom portion of the training, volunteers will carpool to the Headwaters Demo Site along the Escalante River for handson field training. Volunteers will be supplied with tools to monitor an assigned site on a monthly basis from April to October.

If you would like to volunteer to become a Science Citizen water monitor, please sign up at https://goo.gl/ forms/aTQJHFkgrtcTIMvf2.

For more information, go to https://extension.usu.edu/ utahwaterwatch/getinvolved/ index or contact Utah Water Watch: 435-797-2580 or waterquality@usu.edu. Please register by October 13.
