Legislator’s discussion shows serious errors Dear Editor: A recent discussion by Utah legislators on Channel 7 expressed two serious errors about the propositions that passed.

1. The legislature is equal to the people in power.

Not true, the people created the government. “All power is vested in the people” found in

the Utah Constitution reiterates the concept found in the Declaration of Independence, that the people are the foundation, creator and separate branch of government.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility,

provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, this Constitution for the United States of America.

2.”This is new territory for us”.

The way you get into new territory is to ignore the basis of

the function of the Utah Constitution. There is no provision for “providing for the general welfare”. The word is “ the general welfare”. Government is to “provide for the defense.” Lest we forget where our freedom lies.

Smell test At our Mother’s Day dinner last Sunday, we had sour cream on the table that turned out to have a “best by date” of May 14th on it – May 14th, 2018 – as in a year ago.

It had been hiding somewhere in the back of one of our refrigerators. (We have a fridge in the garage, as well as the kitchen) When I tasted it on my baked potato, I thought, “hmm, there’s a little bit of an extra kick to this sour cream,” but I ate it anyway. We all ate it actually, and we’re all still living. My son said, “sour cream is sour when you first buy it anyway, isn’t it?” After the discovery, I was reminded of a concept. Here’s the explanation: There are certain simple, folksy tests that we use in our speech and in our everyday living. One is the “duck test.” If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc. then, it’s a duck.

Cheech and Chong, the irreverent comedy team, made a movie years ago which had a scene relating to the same type of test. It dealt with something foul you might step into on a sidewalk, not long after a dog has been in the area.

And as I think of it, that’s really all that needs to be said about it here in a family newspaper. (Those of you who saw the show and remember it, know what I’m talking about. For the rest of you, I’d say don’t bother to research it or view it.)

And this brings me to the “smell test.” This test takes on at least two different forms. The first is figurative.

For instance, let’s say that you have been approached by a guy who tells you that you can make a million dollars in six months’ time.

All you have to do is put up five thousand dollars as an investment in a gold mine in Uzbekistan. It’s a sure thing.

And, by the way, the guy makes a point to tell you that he’s a “good church going church guy.”

If your nose is functioning properly, this proposed deal “smells fishy.” Therefore, it doesn’t pass the smell test.

(By the way, I fell for a deal kind of like that years ago when my nose wasn’t working too well. But that’s a story for another day.)

The second “smell test” is literal. This is when you go to your basement food storage room and bring up a bottle of stewed tomatoes with a date of 1994 scrawled on the lid.

You open the bottle and the contents are bubbling and belching.

You get close enough to get a whiff and detect that the odor just doesn’t seem right for stewed tomatoes. This is not the time to say, “Oh what the heck, let’s eat them and see what happens.” This is the time to say, “Hmm, even though 1994 was a good year,

lbs 122.50-162.00; 500-600 lbs 120.00-156.00; 600-700 lbs 110.00-137.50; 700-800 lbs 85.00-127.00; 800-900 lbs 80.00-120.00; 900-1300 lbs 75.00-86.00. Heiferettes: 71.50-93.00; bred heifers scarce.

Stock cows: 50.50-78.00; pairs: 700.00-1350.00.

Slaughter cows: boning:

these tomatoes don’t pass the smell test.” And down the drain they go.

Years ago I had a “smell test” that involved my dog.

Sassy, the boxer, wanted to go out at about 3 a.m. She seemed anxious, so I dragged myself up out of bed and opened the door for her. I knew as cold as it was she’d be right back after she had done her “duties.”

When she came back in a few minutes, she didn’t pass the smell test. She had just had an encounter with “Peppy LePew.” Holy Cow! — was she ever putrid with skunk odor! It makes my eyes water just to think of it now.

After being in the kitchen for a few seconds, I ushered her right back outside where she spent the rest of the night on her chain. I went back to bed for a restless rest of the night, subconsciously knowing the job that awaited me in the morning.

If you’ve never taken part in a post-skunk spraying decontamination procedure, you’re lucky. I’ve had dogs get sprayed a few times over the years.

And, I’ve personally had the experience of being skunk sprayed in a minor way (if there’s such a thing as a minor skunking experience) once. I was out in the field at night changing irrigation water when that happened. I also know first-hand that it’s not a good idea to shoot a skunk while it’s in a nest box in the chicken coop.

Anyway, the next morning after this particular skunking, I knew I had to “face the music.” I rolled up my sleeves for a marathon dog bath. I put Sassy in the tub and got the water running through the hose of the handheld showerhead.

The water ran for more than an hour. We went through tomato juice, special skunk odor remover, bar soap, dog shampoo and people shampoo – in that order. (I’ve heard since that a combination of peroxide, liquid dish soap and baking soda is a “miracle recipe” for de-skunking.)

After toweling the dog off and blow-drying her, I sniffed the top of her head. It was the smell test. Relatively speaking, the odor wasn’t bad. It wasn’t good either.

A little later, one of my wife’s friends came to the door. She wouldn’t come into the house. Our home didn’t pass the smell test for her.

After a few days of opening windows during the warmer part of the day, burning a small fortune’s worth of scented holiday candles, and baking cookies a time or two – the place almost seemed acceptable again.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I won’t have any major smell test failures for a while — literally or figuratively.

Slaughter bulls: yield grade 1: 1000-1500 lbs scarce; 15002100 lbs scarce; yield grade 2: 1400-2000 lbs 73.00-90.00; cutting bulls: 700-1050 lbs 98.00-117.00.

Want to rate Utah’s fishing holes? Now anglers can SALT LAKE CITY — Anglers who enjoy fishing in Utah’s beautiful outdoors but aren’t quite sure where to fish can now easily find out what anglers are saying about each local waterbody.

In late April, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources launched a new website that offers an in-depth, interactive fishing map. While the DWR has provided online fishing reports for nearly 20 years, this interactive map will provide a lot more details. Take a look at: https://dwrapps.utah.gov/ fishing/fStart.

It includes improved mapping technology, which allows users to find a place to fish near their current location. The new map also gives the public a chance to rate waters based

on their recent fishing trips.

The public feedback will help the DWR improve the management of the state’s fisheries.

Along with allowing anglers to rate the waterbodies, the new page was designed to be a one-stop shop for anyone going fishing: It includes updated forecasts of fishing conditions from the DWR, details on what types of fish are at each waterbody, specific directions to each fishing hole, stocking reports, fishing regulations and the amenities in each area.

“This new fishing map caters to the fact that anglers are diverse, and not all anglers want the same fishing experience,” DWR sportfish coordinator Randy Oplinger said.

“Our concern is that some anglers are turned off from

fishing when they go to a water and find an experience that doesn’t match their expectations. The new page provides a lot more information about the waterbodies. Hopefully,” Oplinger said, “anglers can use it to better find waters that provide the fishing experience they’re looking for.”

The new fishing web page is also mobile friendly, so it provides a better user experience on smartphones. There is also a new alert feature that informs anglers of important updates like access and ice conditions in an area.

“Fishing is looking really good for this spring,” Oplinger said. “Fishing is currently really good at many of our lower elevation reservoirs that are ice free and will pick up at other

reservoirs as the ice melts.”

“The large snowpack will make spring stream flows higher than normal this year, which could create tough stream fishing conditions.

However,” he says, “the streams should have good water levels throughout the summer, so summer fishing should be better than average.”

Because rivers are running high and fast this spring, anglers should be very cautious in and around the water. If going out on the water via a boat or float tube, anglers must have a personal floatation device.

Those who are unsure whether their personal floatation device is safe or for more information should visit https://stateparks.utah.gov/activities/boating/life-jackets/.

MT. PLEASANT — The power of the horse is drawing the old world and the new world together in Mt. Pleasant City.

The Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center is a place where the horse is king, says Monte Bona, director of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPHNA) and the Mt. Pleasant Community Development and Renewal Agency (CFDA).

A poem titled “The Power of the Horse” is painted in big words on a wall at the ConToy Arena, the indoor riding facility in the equestrian arena—an homage to the role the horse played in the settlement of the West.

Now, in a modern setting, the horse is playing a role in Mt. Pleasant’s economic development by facilitating equestrian competition in a big way. The facility is one of the few in the West with enough land to accommodate hundreds of horses and riders, many of whom travel around the country to compete.

Like the pioneers who settled Sanpete, the horses that make the pilgrimage to the ConToy equestrian events are often of European stock. Many of the horses originated in Ireland, England or Germany.

Twice each year, flocks of riders descend on the equestrian center and arena, filling the 200-plus horse stalls and putting their horses and riding skills to the test on the dressage, jumping and cross-country courses on site.

The horses are usually meticulously groomed and trained.

It’s not uncommon for horses to have a value of $100,000, and on a big day, $20 million in horseflesh will populate the facility.

With them comes an influx of economic activity, as visitors buy gas, food and lodging from Sanpete businesses.

“This is becoming a very significant equestrian center,” Bona says. “It has a tremendous local impact, bringing people from all around the western United States. We are very grateful to the partners who helped to fund it, including the George S. and Dolores Dore’ Eccles Foundation.”

Lani Taylor, who organizes events for the arena, says the facility is a perfect place to gather and compete. And more expansions and accommodations are planned.

“Jack and Gaylynn Widdison (facility coordinators) and the Eccles Foundation have been absolutely tremendous at making sure that we are continually growing every year,” Taylor says.

Mindy Hussey is a trainer who travels across the U.S. with her daughter, from show to show, competing at events and being involved in the national equestrian community. The pair travel to dozens of events each year, but make sure never to miss the big spring and fall events in Mt. Pleasant.

“We love coming here every year,” she says. “We are so grateful that Mt. Pleasant has this facility, and to all the organizers who put it together. The community here is so beautiful, and everyone welcomes us.”

The spring event for 2019 wrapped up on Sunday, May 5. More than 140 horses were registered. Riders and horses competed in dressage, a competition in which they receive scores based essentially on how they look as they perform various gaits and moves.

Another component of the event is jumping, where horses and riders are scored on their grace as they surmount various obstacles. In a third competition the horses and riders traverse a cross country course set up on the equestrian center grounds.

The course includes a variety of obstacles. Cross country riding is judged primarily based on time, with score deductions for mistakes. A comparable event with similar competitions will be held in the fall.

“With plans already made to expand the facility, the events will get bigger and bigger,” Taylor says, “attracting people not just from the United States, but from the worldwide horse community as well.”

About MPNHA The Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area is a federally designated area of central and southern Utah running along the beautiful and historic U.S. Highway 89 — including the All-American Road Utah State Route 12, and Capitol Reef Scenic Byway Utah State Route 24, which both intersect with U.S. 89 and together form the MPNHA’s Boulder Loop. The area includes the counties of Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Wayne, Garfield and Kane.

Calling before digging saves lives SALT LAKE CITY — Longawaited spring weather is sure to inspire many to don gloves, grab a shovel and tackle some serious outdoor projects, but a recent survey shows nearly half of those planning to dig this year will not make the required call to 811.

Rocky Mountain Power urges customers to take one important safety step before hitting the dirt: Dial 8-1-1 before doing any digging.

According to a national study, 42 percent of homeowners who plan to dig this year for gardening and other home projects will put themselves and their communities at risk by not calling 811 beforehand to learn the approximate location

of underground utilities.

“Installing a fence post or planting a tree are among the many commonplace projects that should trigger a call to 8-1-1,” said Tom Davis, Rocky Mountain Power’s director of safety. “Those may seem like simple, harmless projects, but the hazards are very real. If you hit a buried electric line, it could be fatal.”

The Call Before You Dig line is a national toll-free number that puts customers in touch with a locating service that alerts local underground facility owners so they can mark the approximate location of their lines with paint or flags.

There are nearly 20 million miles of underground utility

lines in the United States. These buried facilities, including gas, water, sewer, cable TV and high-speed Internet provide the services Americans depend on for their basic everyday needs.

“If you don’t know where they are buried before you dig, you are in danger. Even if you are lucky enough to not be harmed, you could be responsible for causing a service outage in your neighborhood — and potentially be responsible for the substantial repair costs,” said Davis.

Past wildfires, burn scars, now spring runoff impact wildlife, fisheries SALT LAKE CITY — The wildfires that burned throughout Utah during 2018 made headlines due to the large amount of acres burned and several community evacuations. A total of 1,314 wildfires were reported in Utah last year, burning nearly 486,000 acres.

Now more than six months after the fires, biologists are still seeing the impacts on fish, wildlife and their habitat areas.

With the added heavy snow pack and upcoming spring runoff in burn scar areas, here is a look at some of the potential effects on Utah’s wildlife, habitat, fisheries and which areas are the most vulnerable.

Habitat Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) habitat biologists said that the areas burned by the Pole Creek/Bald Mountain, Dollar Ridge and Goose Creek fires are the biggest areas of concern for erosion from spring runoff.

In an effort to rehabilitate these areas, over 1 million pounds of seed from the Great Basin Research Center in Ephraim were distributed on these and several other fire areas, covering roughly 85,000 acres, in conjunction with Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative.

Erosion control structures have also been installed in some areas to help reduce sediment from entering into streams.

“Seventeen fire areas

throughout the state were rehabilitated this past fall to help the ecosystem recover properly and as quickly as possible,” according to habitat conservation coordinator Daniel Eddington.

“However, the extent of the erosion damage in the coming months will depend on whether Utah experiences a warm spring that causes the snowpack to melt quickly or if there is a more gradual warmup and the snowpack slowly melts,” he said.

Although crews have worked to mitigate erosion in the long term, DWR Habitat Restoration Biologist Robby Edgel said most of the plants that were seeded last fall have not yet grown enough to fully reduce erosion in the event of high spring runoff.

“There are major concerns for erosion, especially for communities and fisheries near steep slopes that burned in these fires,” Edgel said. “The best thing we can hope for is a slow melt, but the conditions look very troubling so far.”

After a fire, the habitat recovery time depends on several factors including the intensity and temperature of the fire, slope, pre-fire vegetation type, the presence of invasive weeds and the elevation, Eddington said.

While some high-elevation areas with a lot of aspen trees can see new tree shoots a few weeks after a fire, other low-elevation habitats that primarily

Because of the many fires that took place in Utah last year, over 1 million pounds of seed from the Great Basin Research Center in Ephraim was used to help rehabilitate over 85,000 acres of damaged landscape. Unfortunately, it can take years to recover.

The public needs to use care in their outdoor adventures and be aware of dangers to avoid. (Photo courtesy of Utah DWR) have sagebrush can take several years for the sagebrush to grow again on that landscape.

“Most burned areas take three-to-five years to completely fill in with vegetation,” Edgel said, “and they will have flooding concerns during that time.” “Streams that are eroded due to high flows from spring runoff can become disconnected from their floodplain for decades,” Eddington said.

However, many ecosystems in Utah require wildfire and have adapted to fire.

“These events help to shape the ecosystem functions and processes, which can be very beneficial to several wildlife species,” Eddington said.

Fisheries The fisheries that were most impacted by the recent wildfires were the Strawberry River, which was severely damaged by the Dollar Ridge Fire, and the Diamond Fork drainage area, which was heavily damaged from the Bald Mountain and Pole Creek fires.

The Strawberry River has been a popular brown trout fishery, but virtually all the fish were killed by flash floods, ash flows and pH changes during the aftermath of the fire, DWR Aquatics Section Chief Drew

Cushing said.

The Diamond Fork area was also a popular brown trout fishery, but anglers will not be able to enjoy both areas until stream bank and fire scare stabilization has occurred.

“While the ash runoff doesn’t typically last very long, it can reduce the fish population for several years,” Eddington said. “The reduced water quality can also have impacts on municipal water supplies.”

Cushing recommended that anglers check fishing conditions and contact regional fisheries managers before heading up to fish in an area that may have been impacted by the wildfires.

Wildlife “While habitats and fisheries can see negative results, high-elevation wildfires during the summer can actually be very beneficial for wildlife,” DWR Wildlife Section Chief Justin Shannon said.

The fires often remove trees and old vegetation, allowing for young grasses, forbs and shrubs to grow which provide more food for wildlife. Many of those young plants are more nutritious and beneficial for big game animals.

“The wildlife will move to

other areas during a fire, but they return when the grasses and forbs begin to grow back,” Shannon said. “I have seen deer and elk move back into a burned area in the fall following a fire in the spring.”

However, low-elevation fires can have negative impacts if they burn sagebrush areas, which don’t recover from fires as well. Those areas are typically where deer and elk range during the winter months.

If those areas are destroyed, it can have negative consequences for big game animals.

“Once burned areas have started to see new growth, animals are typically attracted to those areas, making them good wildlife viewing locations,” Shannon said.

However, hunters and people hiking in burn scar areas should be very careful because dead trees (snags) can fall and there is more potential for erosion and flash flooding following rainstorms. People should also make sure not to walk or drive in areas that are undergoing habitat restoration.

How to help What can the public do to help with wildfire restoration efforts and fire prevention?

Leann Fox, the Utah Division of

Forestry, Fire and State Lands communications and prevention coordinator, shared a few tips: 1. Stay on legal roads and trails to avoid impacting any habitat restoration in burn scar areas that have been reseeded; 2. Never drive or park over dry grass or brush. Exhaust systems and other vehicle equipment can get hot enough to start fires; 3. Because many of Utah’s wildfires are started by vehicles on highways, make sure that vehicle maintenance is always up to date and make sure there is no loose or dragging equipment; 4. Be extra cautious when target shooting; 5. Always keep a campfire small and clear the surrounding area of any flammable material. Always fully extinguish the campfire before leaving an area; 6. Before burning debris on personal property, a permit must be obtained and weather conditions should be checked prior to the burn; 7. Remember, fireworks are illegal on all state and federal lands, so do not use fireworks anywhere except in designated areas and seasons.

EXHIBITION From A1

Early photographic surveys of the American West explored the physical territory; this exhibition examines the conceptual landscape of creative practice by photographic artists spanning the vast spaces of Utah.

The artists have strong connections to the state and their images represent a diversity beyond geographic boundaries; they interrupt convention and draw new lines.

Intended to serve as a record of a historical moment, the exhibition reflects the dynamics of shifting cultural narratives and our relationship to place in a richly interconnected world.

It represents not only the current state of photographic art, but also its future.

DE | MARCATION artists include Kimberly Anderson, Christine Baczek, David Baddley, Edward Bateman, David Brothers, Van Chu, Samuel Davis, Daniel George, Haynes Goodsell, Mark Hedengren, Amy Jorgensen, Natalie Kirk, Karalee Kuchar, Carsten Meier, Bernard C. Meyers, Andrew Patteson, Kim Raff, Nancy

ROCK ART From A1

Americans came to live in Utah during the 19th century; before the first Spanish priests journeyed through eastern Utah in the 18th century; before the arrival 400 years earlier of the Ute People; even before the Pueblo Cliff Dwellers, whose ancestors pushed into southern Utah about 2,000 years ago — before all these humans came to Utah, scattered bands of Archaic Native Americans painted striking human-like figures on canyon walls in Utah and the northern part of the Colorado Plateau.

These paintings in the Barrier Canyon style are Utah’s earliest known art on rock, and some

P Y R A M I D

in the spring of 2017, Jackie Leishman was overwhelmed by the dichotomy of the landscape and the effects of time: the noise of the waterfalls, the size of the boulders, and the softness of the meadows.

It is the push and pull between opposing ideas that motivates her work: animating tensions between destruction and creation, expansion and contraction, explosion and implosion.

Each work is an homage to the natural environment, contrasting the violence and continual movement of water with the solid strength of an otherwise unyielding stone landscape.

Leishman begins by creating reverse drawings using printmaking ink to lay down the bones and structure of the image. The works then evolve and grow as collage elements are added using fragments of older work and found materials from the bins of paper scraps in her studio.

Leishman is drawn to what happens at the edges and among the layers, where two different materials or ideas meet, much like the collision of elements in the environment. The process of layering and the hand of the artist are apparent as she reveals the raw joints and the coarseness

“The only constant in the wild is that it will change, an element can and will be both violent and passive, opposites held in a balance. In a world that is increasingly contentious, the need to feel peace within the chaos becomes more desperate,” says Leishman.

“Annie Dillard wrote, ‘You can heave your spirit into a mountain, and the mountain will keep it, folded, and not throw it back...’ This is my attempt to shift through all the stimulus and unrest. By drawing, painting and collaging, I seek to find an equivalent to the peace found in wild places.” --Jackie Leishman.
