Manti-LaSal National Forest campground status, safety tips SALT LAKE CITY — Spring camping promises to be busy on weekends in the national forests of Utah. Some higher-elevation campgrounds, roads, and trails will remain closed due to snow and extremely wet, muddy conditions. Safety is always a concern. Rivers, streams, and creeks are running very high, fast and are extremely dangerous. Please be careful and keep a watchful eye on children and pets while recreating in these areas, especially in campgrounds near water sources. For the safety of the public and protection of bears, the Forest Service is encouraging campers and visitors to practice Bear Aware safety while visiting the forest. Forest users are reminded to ride only on designated routes. Remember to always be a re-
sponsible rider. Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM’s) can be obtained that display the roads and trails which are open to motorized vehicles at http:// www.fs.usda.gov/uwcnf. When hiking, always carry extra water, food, and outer wear. Let someone know where the hiking trip is going, approximately what the expected return time is and avoid hiking alone. Be prepared for a change in weather conditions. Make sure campfires are completely extinguished. Most importantly, enjoy the national forests! The following is a current list of Forest Service campgrounds that are open for camping. But, before heading out for the holiday weekend, check with the local ranger district office for the most current information regarding the planned area for
visiting. For all questions regarding the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Manti-LaSal National Forest, call (435) 637-2817 or visit: https:// www.fs.usda.gov/mantilasal. Price, Ferron district campgrounds Huntington Canyon is closed to camping on either side of State Route 31 from the Forks of Huntington to North Hughes Canyon.

Spring has sprung, but frost still likely TAUN BEDDES, MATT PALMER
USU Extension
LOGAN — Determining when to plant a garden can be especially confusing in Utah’s unpredictable, varied climate where last-frost dates can vary by many days within just a few miles. Many experienced gardeners have planted and later lost their plants to frost. An example of how fickle Utah’s climate can be is in Cache Valley. Frost-free days vary from an average of 113 days in Lewiston and Trenton to 158 days on the USU campus. Similar examples are common around the state. Geographic characteristics of where a gardener lives can help in determining when to plant. When a yard is located in a populated area or on a mountain bench, it usually has a longer growing season. Other areas located at slightly lower elevations where cold air drains and cannot escape have a shorter season. This is why local commercial orchards are generally located on benches. Additionally, urban and suburban areas are slightly warmer than surrounding areas due to the urban heat effect. Heat from buildings and warmth generated by sunlight reflected from roads and other surfaces increases temperatures and

Hardy vegetables, including asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, onions, peas and spinach, can be planted as soon as the soil is workable in early spring, but be prepared for frost. Crops in Sanpete have had frost as late as July 3. delays frost. It can be helpful to chat with a local farmer or experienced gardener in the area to determine what works for him or her regarding when to plant. In addition to frost information, it is important to take into account the needs of the plants to be planted. Vegetables planted locally fall into four basic categories: hardy, semi-hardy, tender and very tender. Depending on which category a plant belongs to, planting dates vary from early spring until early summer. Consider the following: 1). Hardy vegetables, including asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, onions, peas and spinach, can be planted as soon as the soil is workable in early spring. This usually ranges between 45 and 60 days before the average last frost. These same vegetables can be safely planted until the average last frost date.
2). Semi-hardy plants, such as beets, carrots, lettuce and potatoes, can be planted one to two weeks after the hardy group. These can be planted until the average last-frost date. 3). Tender vegetables, such as celery, cucumbers, corn and most beans, should be planted on the average last-frost date. 4). Very tender plants, such as squash, beans, melons, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers, should not be planted until at least a week after the average last frost. Even if frost does not occur before this time, these plants will not grow well and are more susceptible to disease until warmer weather. Anyone who has lost plants to frost is not alone, and all gardeners can do is try again. There are only three locations in Sanpete County which have kept frost information for long periods of time. Records
have been kept since 1950 for Ephraim, 1908 for Moroni and 1894 for Manti. The average frost dates for Ephraim, Moroni and Manti are as follows. Note that these dates are averages and can vary from year to year. Ephraim, last spring freeze May 27, first fall freeze Sept. 23, freeze free season 121 days. Earliest last freeze Apr. 17, latest last freeze June 30. Earliest fall freeze Aug. 27, latest fall freeze Oct. 20. Moroni, last spring freeze June 2, first fall freeze Sept. 18, freeze free season 109 days. Earliest last freeze May 1, latest last freeze July 3. Earliest fall freeze Aug. 7, latest fall freeze Oct. 18. Manti, last spring freeze May 24, first fall freeze Sept. 26, freeze free season 125 days. Earliest last freeze May 7, latest last freeze July 3. Earliest fall freeze Sept. 2, latest fall freeze Oct. 28. In addition to freeze dates, gardeners need to be aware of winds, elevation, growing season lengths, how cold it gets in winter, whether water is available, the PH of growing soil and wildlife. Wind in Sanpete County tends to come from the southwest. There are also canyons which produce canyon winds which flow from the mountains into the valleys. The highest wind gust of 60 mph was recorded in Manti on March 30, 1999. The next highest was Please see SPRING, Page A3

Are you a doer? MERRILL OGDEN
I heard a lady give a talk in church some time back. At one point in her speech she told about working on genealogy when she and her husband were in England. She related that while in the London area she had made the acquaintance of a man from a different part of the country. His home happened to be in the area where some of this woman’s husband’s ancestors had lived. She asked the fellow if he knew anyone in that area who did genealogy work. He told her that he didn’t know anyone like that. But he told her that if she gave him some contact information, he would do some checking and find someone to help her. She was looking for records from a government office or something. At this point in her speech, the lady looked out over the congregation and paused dramatically. She then put a huge smile on her face and in a totally thrilled voice said, “The wonderful thing is that he said he would do it – and he DID!” She said it in such a way that it made me think that this poor woman had gone through her entire life without anyone following through by doing what they said they would do for her. My mind started wandering, not unusual for me in church. I heard the rest of the woman’s talk, but I don’t think I would score very high on a comprehension test. I was wondering to myself if that’s where we’ve come to in society. Is it true that people don’t do what they say they’re going to do anymore? Has the phase, “I give you my word” deteriorated in value? Are there so many exaggerations out there with sales pitches, gimmicky diet and self-help programs, political campaign promises, and extreme rhetoric that we don’t believe that there is any correspondence between what is said and what is done? The athletic shoe and sportswear company Nike is famous for their “Swoosh” logo and their “Just Do It” slogan. In a 1988 meeting with Nike, Dan Wieden, an advertising agency representative, praised the Nike people for their “can-do attitude” and reportedly said, “You Nike guys, you just do it.” And with that, a legendary slogan was born.
Fork, was arrested in Fairview by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on charges of theft with priors and obstructing justice. Bail was set at $3,900. Ashton Lynn Henderson, was arrested in Fairview by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on a Sandy Justice Court Warrant. Bail was set at $185. Marshall Paul Robison, West Jordan, was arrested in Sanpete County by the Division of Wildlife Resources on a Third District Court Warrant. Bail was set at $25,000. Keith Talosaga, Taylorsville, was arrested in Ephraim by the Ephraim Police Department on charges of intoxication and disorderly conduct. Bail was
The words of the slogan were backed up with a company attitude that was built upon and promoted into almost a sports religion, which translated into many billions of sales dollars. Perhaps we need to give out more praise when people “do things.” The little “atta boys” and pats on the back aren’t expensive incentives or hard to give out. As easily given and as important as they are, they are often neglected. Sometimes we think that it’s mainly children who need the positive reinforcement of a “Thanks for doing such a good job!” Really though, regardless of age, we all like to be acknowledged when we “do something.” Somehow in all of this philosophy there is another point of view at work. If nothing else, it’s entertaining. Have you ever heard of Despair, Inc.? My wife gave me a “Demotivator Calendar” that came from this company a few years ago for Christmas. The slogan of this line of products is: “Increasing Success by Lowering Expectations.” (I’m not sure what that says about my marriage.) Just a few of the gems of demotivation wisdom are as follows: “Service: View all customers as beautiful buds that must be cultivated, watered, and periodically buried under manure.” “Procrastination: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.” “Motivation: If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job, the kind of job robots will be doing soon.” “Tradition: Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.” One more. “Get to Work: You aren’t being paid to believe in the power of your dreams” That would have been a good place to end this piece. But, what I have to say isn’t complete without the last thing I was thinking about during that woman’s church talk. Most all of you are familiar with this bit of dialogue from the Star Wars movie, “The Empire Strikes Back.” Luke: All right, I’ll give it a try. Yoda: No. Try not. Do…or do not. There is no try.

SPRING From A2
52 mph in Moroni on May 11, 2000. Average extreme temperatures in Sanpete County can get down to -20 degrees, which means that crops grown in Sanpete need to be hardy plants for zones 5 or 4. The elevation of the land to be used for crops can make a big difference. High elevations tend to have shorter growing seasons. For instance, Ephraim’s elevation is 5,490 ft. and has a growing season of 121 days on average. Salt Lake City elevation is 4,280 ft. and has 178 days on average. Sanpete tends to have
a short growing season, June through September, which means protection from frost will need to be done in the spring and fall. There is also a tendency to run out of irrigation water in the fall, thus the water needs to be used efficiently and drought tolerant plants are a plus. Sanpete is highly dependent on mountain snow melt to supply irrigation water and most of the water storage available is only in small ponds and reservoirs. The soil in Sanpete tends to be high in lime content, meaning there is high PH soil and that affects the water, so it helps to grow high PH tolerant crops. Last of all, there is an abun-
dance of wildlife which is hungry and can or will damage crops if allowed the opportunity. Gardeners need to know that all of the following animals can do damage: deer, elk, rabbits, gophers, squirrels, skunks and raccoons. Plant protection is necessary.

Bear safety tips, more people equals more encounters SALT LAKE CITY — People might be surprised to learn how simple it is to avoid a negative encounter with a black bear. Just remember two simple things, and then do those things in the outdoors, and a person will greatly reduce the chance that a black bear visits the campsite or cabin area: 1). Keep the area clean. Don’t toss food scraps and trash around. Instead, put it in trash bags, and store it in a place where a bear can’t get to it. When it’s time to go home, take the trash home too. 2). Store food in an area where a bear can’t get to it. Darren DeBloois, mammals coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), says black bears have an amazing sense of smell. And they have no problem eating the same type of food people eat. “Even though they’re incredibly strong and surprisingly fast,” DeBloois says, “like most wildlife, black bears will typically do everything they can to avoid people. When a bear finds food, though, that all changes. Once it finds food, a bear will often become aggressive towards anything it perceives as threatening the area where it found the food. That includes people.” DeBloois says keeping the campsite or cabin area clean lessens the chance that a bear will smell food and trash, and be lured to the camp. And, if a bear does find the camp, if it isn’t rewarded with food, it
will often move on. DeBloois provides the following tips to keep people and the bears safe: Safety tip 1 Store all food and items that are scented, such as deodorants and tooth paste, in an area where a bear can’t get to them. Storing them in a locked trailer, or locking them in the trunk of the car, are good choices. Storing food and scented items in these areas will reduce the chance that a bear smells them. And, if a bear does makes its way to the area where people are staying, if it isn’t rewarded with food, it will likely move on. Safety tip 2 Keep the cooking grill clean. After eating, clean all utensils and anything else that was used to prepare or eat the food. Also, don’t dump oil or grease from pots or pans onto the ground. Put the oil or grease in a container, and take it home to dispose of there. Safety tip 3 Don’t toss food scraps and other trash around the campsite or cabin area. Instead, put it in trash bags, and take it home for disposal. Keep the campsite or cabin area clean. Safety tip 4 Never feed a bear. More tips on staying safe in bear country, including what to do when encountering a bear while hiking, are available from Wild Aware Utah at www.wildawareutah.org/ utah-wildlife-information/ bears. The DWR also provides
tips at www.wildlife.utah. gov/dwr/learn-more/bearsafety.html. A video about bear safety is also available on the DWR’s YouTube channel. The video shows what a bear will do if it finds a campsite that isn’t clean. To watch the video, visit http://bit.ly/26U1Q7S. Help the bears Taking these safety actions will be helping the bears. In addition to keeping today’s campers safe, it will be helping others who camp in the area afterwards. And, it will help the bears too, by encouraging them to eat elsewhere. DeBloois says a dirty campsite can attract bears long after the people have left. “If a bear visits the area after messy campers leave,” he says, “and then someone comes into that area to camp, the messy campers have created a potentially dangerous situation.” Once a bear loses its fear of people, wildlife biologists and officers are left with something they dread: having to euthanize an animal to keep people safe. “We got into the wildlife profession because we love wildlife,” DeBloois says. “We enjoy managing and protecting animals so Utahns can get outdoors and enjoy them.” “Having to euthanize an animal, because someone didn’t do something as simple as keeping their campsite clean and storing food in a secure area, is tough. Please don’t put us in that situation this year.”
