TORREY - "Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much."

Helen Keller’s words apply perfectly to the recent efforts of a valiant group of volunteers who worked to clean an 11-acre parcel of land just outside of Torrey. The 17-member team spent six days filling five 30-foot long dumpsters with debris that had been accumulating for years – decayed wood, brittle PVC pipe, moldy insulation, broken skylights, roofing supplies, and more. Surprisingly, despite being exposed to the

The Color Country Animal Welfare cleanup crew spent six days clearing a wide variety of items from an eleven acre parcel of land outside of Torrey. Some items from the cleanup will be available at the CCAW yard sale during Torrey Apple Days.

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.

Not a Popularity Contest

To the Wayne County Planning and Zoning Board and Board of County Commissioners, By the time the dust has settled (pun intended) after the public hearing on May 23 you will have received letters from and heard testimony by many people living many miles from, and upwind of the proposed location of the Teasdale gravel pit, citing Brown Brothers Construction’s fine reputation in the county, the long local history of resource production, and the need for gravel and jobs.

All of these have merit, but do not address the persistent objections to the location.

You will also have heard from many people living within 2 miles of, and downwind from the proposed location. They will have presented a large volume of information and data citing potential negative impacts to those living in proximity to gravel quarrying activities. These include, but are not limited to fugitive dust, noise and toxic particulates, increased heavy truck traffic, negligible job creation or revenue to the county, degraded views at a gateway to Capitol Reef National Park (the main economic driver in the county) and disturbed tranquility of two residential/tourist areas. Last but not least is the predictable decrease in real property values and resultant loss of tax revenues to Wayne County. What these people are asking for is simply a relocation of this activity to a more appropriate place.

The decision to rezone this area from residential/agricultural to industrial is not a popularity contest. Nor is it a poll on relative length residence in the county, local custom or the virtues of one lifestyle over another. It is a decision that must be based on facts alone. I sincerely hope that will be the basis for your decision.

Veronica Egan, Teasdale

Unintended Consequence of Gravel Pit: Lowered Property Value and Tax Base

Letter to Editor: While opponents of the gravel pit have cited health risks from blowing dust, traffic, noise, and the wisdom of mixing industry with tourism, they may have missed a profound consequence that will affect all Wayne County tax payers regardless if they are for or against the pit. Credible and authoritative studies conclude that property values within a three mile radius of new gravel pits drop by up to 30 percent within a few years. That includes open land as well as homes and businesses. The 3 mile radius of the proposed gravel pit includes all of Torrey and Teasdale.

Not only are tourism, recreation, and retirement the only vital and growing sectors of the county’s economy, property taxes from Torrey and Teasdale undergird county services and our children’s schools that are already struggling to get by on existing resources.

As might be expected, aggrieved property owners are organizing to challenge property assessments and their tax bills should a gravel pit be approved. The affected area already pays the highest property tax rates in the county so a significant loss in revenue from those communities would have a severe impact on county coffers. School and county budget cuts could be another unintended and unanticipated consequence of the commissioners’ rush to push through the pit without open, inclusive, fair, and competent deliberation.

The people of Wayne County are at a crossroads. Stakeholders who feel disenfranchised and damaged do not go away, so the unpleasant divisiveness we are now experiencing could become as permanent as the scars on the landscape from the proposed gravel pit. I hope it is not too late to find a better way.

ESCALANTE - A Federal Magistrate in the United States District Court for the District of Utah has ruled in favor of the Forest Service on all counts in the Alliance for the Wild Rockies et. al. v. Bulletts lawsuit against the Iron Springs Vegetation Improvement and Salvage project on the Dixie National Forest in Garfield County, Utah.

Located approximately 15 miles northwest of Escalante, UT along Forest Road 30140 in the Griffin Top area on the western portion of the Escalante Ranger District, the Iron Springs project area encompasses an estimated 8,306 acres of high elevation spruce-fir and aspen forests.

The 2013 Iron Springs project decision authorized a range of vegetation improvement actions across 4,890 acres to salvage dead and dying timber impacted by a recent spruce beetle epidemic.

& Sports Special Legislative Session 2016 In a special Legislative Session, lawmakers voted to restore nearly $4.2 million dollars that was previously vetoed by Governor Herbert almost two months ago. In connection with the funding is reading intervention software programs, preschool, and culinary arts programs. The Senate voted 27-1 and the House voted 67-6 on SB2001 to restore the vetoed line items. Included in the $4.5 million is $500,000 in Federal funds, $1.5 million in state revenue, $275,000 for a TV broadcasted Culinary Arts program, $500,000 elementary reading software to measure student’s reading ability, $3 million for K-3 software intervention programs, and $500,000 for an IT program. Additionally, the legislature agreed to remove $1 million from the Electronic High School program housed at the Utah State Office of Education. Some of the additional funding will finds its way to Garfield County School District in the form of DIBELS assessment tools, and reading intervention programs such as i-Ready and Waterford UPSTART programs. The district has completed a competitive grant through USOE to allow our students and teachers to be the beneficiaries of the additional funding. As a district, we have not received official notice of what the funding will be but we are estimating the additional revenues to be in the $30,000 to $40,000 range. We will continue to strive to provide the additional funding and programs for our students in GCSD. —Ben Dalton, Superintendent, Garfield County School District

Track Season Finals

Girls win 4th Straight State Title Not wanting to sound repetitious, the Lady Cats romped over the competition at the state track meet, winning their fourth straight championship, scoring 158 points to the second place Parowan Team who had 71.5 points.

Panguitch boys and girls finished off the track season this past week. The boys ended up third place, with 4 teams within 10 points of each other. Monticello won their first state track championship and broke Panguitch’s streak of taking state the previous three years. The girls kept their streak alive winning their fourth consecutives state title in track. The girls scored 158 points, more than doubling second place Parowan who had 71.5 points. Whittni Orton had an outstanding meet finishing off her career without ever having lost at state in the 800, 1600, or 3200 meter race. She missed breaking the state record in the 1600 (5:05.2) by a second, but did break the school record in the 800 (2:19.9) which was previously held by Kalani Norris.

Whittni and Trey Barney were the only Panguitch athletes to win an individual first place.

Trey won the javelin by more than 20 feet, throwing 164 feet in really bad weather. Trey was also third in the discus and fourth

in the shot put.

Girl competitors: Shantae Miller 2nd 100 M, 5th 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles Chesney Campbell 2nd high jump and javelin, 4th shot put, 7th long jump Brittney Henrie 3rd 3200, 4th 1600, 5th 800 Brianne Bremner 3rd javelin Kapri Orton 4th high jump and 100 hurdles Jonee Holman 4th discus Karlee Eyre 4th 800 Jordan Bennett 4th 3200, 5th 1600 Abbey Blevins 6th discus, 7th 400 Corryn Anderson 6th 3200, 7th 1600 Makayla Dalton 6th 3200 Brieann Birch 8th 100 hurdles The Girls were also first in the Medley Relay, 2nd in the 4 x 100 relay, and 3rd 4 x 400 relay Boy competitors: Jonah Schoppe 3rd 1600 and 3200, 6th 800 Trenton Stowe 3rd 300 hurdles, 5th 110 hurdles Tyrel Henrie 4th 110 hurdes, 7th 300 hurdles Dason Houston 4th javelin Jace Eyre 6th javelin, 8th discus The boys also finished 3rd in the 4 x 400 relay, 6th Medley

relay and 7th 4 x 100 relay.

Whittni Orton finished up this year as she has all throughout her magnificent athletic career, with wins in the 800M, 1600M, and the 3200M. In the 800 she beat the next girl by 12 seconds, in the 1600, by 45 seconds and the 3200 by a minute and 21seconds. In the Medley relay Whittni took the baton trailing the front runner by 80 yards, however that wasn’t enough of a lead as Whitt powered by the girls and the team won going away. Whittni has been involved in 30 championships as an individual runner and a player on the basketball, volleyball Cross Country and relay teams. Is it any wonder Whittni Orton is the 2015 High School girl Athletic of the year.

Both the boys and girls teams will have a lot of returners for next years team and should continue their domination in the track world.

Coach Norris did another great year with the runners again this year, one of the advantages that PHS has is all of the volunteers that help out in some of the events and work with athletics on a smaller basis.

Wills, Trusts, and More Don’t Forget to Plan for Pets!

Many people have pets that they are devoted and attached to. Perhaps you are concerned about what would happen to your pets if you were no longer able to take care of them. Below are answers to the most commonly asked questions.

Can I provide for my pets if I am unable to take care of them? Yes, you can. This applies to any domestic animal.

The law allows you to choose a caretaker for your pets. If you become sick or disabled, you should designate the custody and care of your pets to a friend or relative until your health improves. You do this by writing a note or a document that authorizes someone to care for your pets in your absence. You can also include directions for the care of your pets in your will or trust. Before you name someone as caretaker for your pets, you should discuss it with them to make sure that they are willing to take the responsibility.

Can I provide financially for my pets during my illness or disability, or after my death? Yes. During any sickness or injury, the person who is handling your financial affairs can also be given the power to provide for your

by Jeffery J. mCkenna pets. You may provide funds to your caretaker for food, supplies and veterinary care.

A lump sum distribution can be provided to the caretaker after your death. If you have a trust, certain provisions can be included to empower the trustee(s) to assist in your animal's care. Funds can be given to the caretaker specifically for pet care.

Can I create a trust just for my pets? Yes, the use of trusts is allowed to provide for the care of an animal. You can set forth your wishes for a caretaker of your choice, and direct how funds may be spent. You can provide that in special circumstances, such as an illness or emergency, your pet caretaker can spend additional funds.

If I can't find a caretaker, can I name a humane society or animal shelter? Yes. A cash gift along with the designation of the shelter of your choice may be appropriate and could result in a longer adoption period for your pets. You may wish to state your wishes as to the new home for your pets including pet names, and any special needs. Gifts to shelters or an animal sanctuary of your choice are considered charitable donations and can bring

tax savings.

What else can I do to protect the pets I love? You could carry a note in your purse or wallet explaining that you have pets at home that depend on you. List their names, what kind of pet and what care they need. You may wish to include the name and phone number of a friend or relative who can gain legal access to your home or yard.

In conclusion, your estate planning can entail issues related to the care of a pet. Pets can be a very important part of one’s life. If your pets are very important to you, do not neglect to plan for them when considering your estate planning affairs.

My niece's class assignment was to interview a senior citizen about his or her life, so she asked me many questions about my life. She asked about cars, wars, etc. Then she asked, "What was the biggest historical event that happened during your childhood?"

"I'd have to say the moonwalk," I replied. She looked disappointed.

"I woulda thought you'd be too old to dance by the time Michael Jackson did that!"

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school."

On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.

Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker."

She answered," You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Bummer!

Our grandson's scoutmaster must have fainted when he saw what he'd texted to his troop's parents: "Scouts 7:00 Sharp at the Church. We will finish up Aviation, Cycling, and Gynecology Merit Badges."

That was followed by this message three minutes later: "Change of Plans. We will not be finishing up the Gynecology Merit Badge. Instead, it will be the Genealogy Merit Badge."

Great Job!

As a nervous flyer, I was concerned when the plane bumped down three times before coming to a stop in Calgary for a short stopover. I was seated at the back of the plane, and heard one flight attendant say to another, "Wow! That was a bad landing!" Imagine my horror when the other flight attendant replied, "Not for him, it wasn't"man shepherds," she said.

Sneaky

As I waited for my luggage at an international airport, I noticed a government agent with a dog sniffing for illegal drugs among the crowd of arriving passengers.

A woman next to me also saw the animal at work and noted that it was of mixed breed with long, shaggy fur.

"I thought those police dogs were supposed to be German shepherds," she said.

Overhearing her comment, the agent replied, "He is, but he's working undercover."

During lunch break a nurse was drawing some signs for her mother's yard sale. The posters read SENIOR CITIZENS' SALE. Glancing at the sign, a passing co-worker remarked, "I'll take two if they babysit."

FYI PANGUITCH

May 26, 2016

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Last Wednesday and Thursday Panguitch looked like Washington, DC during the Cherry Blossom time, with all of our Crab Apple trees in bloom. Then with all of the high winds on Friday, it looked like a snow storm with all of the blooms blowing down the street, the trees were picked bare in a couple of hours. That’s just life, enjoy the good things while they last, it is a day you have been given and there isn’t any guarantees on what tomorrow will bring.

Lots of things going on this weekend; Friday night is the High School Graduation and this is a fairly large class with 39 students gaining their diplomas. There are 3 Valedictorians again this year, Brianne Bremner, Drew Fisher and Janzten Orton. One thing that I don’t like, that started last year is that the school is giving out the scholarships on a different day. Without the scholarships being giving out on Graduation night the students get zero recognition for their efforts as a student.

Many of these scholarships recognize the student’s efforts in the community as well as their academic achievements.

This also goes for the scholarships presenters; they need recognition for their helping the students in furthering their academic careers. This is a really fun class, which has achieved academic excellence. As student athletes in the last two years they have won 7 out of 8 State Girls Championships and the Boys have also won numerous State titles among them, last years track championship and this years Cross Country title.

This year will be the first graduation that we have missed in a long time, but we have conflicting graduations.

Our Granddaughter Teah is

Graduating with her Doctor’s Degree and it is being held in Seattle at the University of Washington. Teah will be going in to Family Practice and will be interning down in Chula Vista, which is down on the Calif. Mexico boarder for the next three years.

Mark Boshell the son of Evan and Ruth Boshell and long time friend and class mate of Teah’s, last week received his Degree in Law, from the University of Wyoming. Both Mark and Teah have been working for 10 years to arrive at this point in their lives.

This weekend is also Memorial weekend, it is a time to reflect on those that have come before us and made our life possible. We will be putting out Flags for the Veterans in the crosses that are by their final resting place. If I have missed anyone please call and let me know call me at (676-2418) we will be gone, please live a message and the location.

When Memorial Day comes, it won’t be too long before it's Quilt Walk time, which is always on the Second Week in June. The Quilt Walk Festival starts on Wednesday June 8th with the Chocolate Fest at the High School- wrestling gym. The theme this year will be Chocolate the All American Food. So all of you Santa Elves Chocolate makers get ready to show your stuff.

Brent Leach will be in charge of the entertainment… hometown boy with lots of talent.

There will be a Silent Auction again this year with lots of goodies going cheap. All funds collected will go to the Sub for Santa Fund. On Friday afternoon 3-6 pm, there will be the Pioneer Home Tours. The homes will be announced as soon as Pat has one more volunteer home. Call her at 690-0099 if you are willing to show your home.

Mary Beth Veater called to remind all of you tractor owners that the parade this year will start at North 3rd Street and Main this year, on

Saturday. This is because many of the tractors will be putting in at the Triple C Arena and that is where the Tractor pulls will take place. So dust off all of your pride and joy tractors and join in the fun.

The Quilt Classes will be starting on Thursday, make sure that you sign up early because these classes are filling up real fast. The Dinner Theater will also begin on Thursday and again this year I will be starring in it along with John Blevins. I think this is the play's 19th year and as I think back on how bad that first play was, it is a miracle it is still going. But Elaine Baldwin has turned this play into a very professional historical production, and has a lot of great local talent in it.

The Lions club will have breakfast waiting for you on Saturday morning at Zions Bank. This will be followed with a lot of fun things going on all day long.

Last week the Third Ward Young Women had a very successful girls camp fund raiser, an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner. There were a lot of cake lovers that were in attendance, because Sgt. Cox of the UHP really did a good job at auctioning off the cakes for some big bucks. It was said that there was enough money

raised that the Young Women Leaders will stay at Ruby’s Inn while the kids are freezing out in the tents. (just joking) Speaking of Ruby’s Inn, all of that advertizing that has been going on by the State Travel Council, about the Mighty Five National Parks is really paying off. Ruby’s coming off a record year last year, business is up 13%.

Talking to Lamont Olsen who is the dispatcher for the buses that run into Bryce, they are running at about 3,000 riders everyday, this usually doesn’t happen till mid July. It really does pay off to advertise. Also much advertising has gone into my favorite byway, Highway 12, the only All American Highway in Utah.

Rod Quarnberg the Principal at PHS will be moving over to the School District and will be taking Brent Judd’s place as the Technology person. He will be over both Garfield County and Kane County. Brent Judd has been in that position for a very long time and has helped bring Garfield County into the world of computers. So now there is an opening for the Superintendant and Principal’s positions.

We will be gone this weekend again and I may miss the next edition.

Discovery Road Celebrates National Park Service Centennial One hundred years. That’s a birthday to remember for the National Park Service and one Discovery Road hosts Maryda Nicole Gallo and James Nelson celebrate in “Precious Jewels in any Language” as they tag along with groups of international visitors who visit the five national parks in Utah: Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Arches, Bryce and Zion.

In 1872, Congress established Yellowstone as the first national park and on August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the act creating the National Park Service, an agency that now protects more than 380 parks, covering more than 83 million acres.

The national parks have been called “America’s best idea,” and in this Discovery Road episode, international visitors learn why.

The visitors hail from such faraway places as France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, and also from our next-door neighbor, Canada.

Without fail, every visitor is struck by the sheer size of the national parks. “Enormous,” “magnificent” and “majesty” are words that trip off their tongues as describe what they are seeing. It’s clear that each is affected by the beauty that surrounds them.

“It feeds my soul,” Sonja Groening from Austria says.

“It opens our minds and

opens our eyes. It helps us understand other people and their thoughts,” one South Korean visitor says.

The visitors enjoy the sights and sounds of the American West from the sweeping vistas to the open road and the characters they encounter along the way.

Near Zion National Park, the visitors meet Richard Budd of Kanab and get to explore his anti que, restored Ford pickup truck. Many of the visitors have only seen the likes of it in old Hollywood movies.

In the episode, the hosts also visit with former volunteer ranger Black George Simmons, 82, who says he loved “giving people a sense of place one yeehaw at a time.”

Serving as a backdrop to all the visiting and the storytelling in this episode of Discovery Road is the incredible open space of the parks protected by our forbearers for

Along with seeing the national parks, visitors portrayed in the Discovery Road segment get to see many sights along their journey, including Richard Budd’s restored Ford pick up. generations of Americans and their guests to enjoy.

It is running on an ongoing basis on CentraCom, Fairview, Channel 10; Manti Telephone, Channel 3 and KTTA 8.1 Monroe, which

2016 Summer Hours of Operation for Capitol Reef National Park CAPITOL REEF - “Summer is around the corner and we’re excited to welcome visitors to the park and invite everyone to join our free

ranger-guided programs,” says Acting Chief of Interpretation Cindy Micheli. The Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center will be open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm daily starting Sunday May 15, 2016. Visitors can expect to see more people in the park this Centennial summer, and parking areas may be full during peak hours. Free ranger-guided programs will be offered beginning May 22 including a daily geology talk at 10:00 am and daily archeology programs at 3:00 pm.

Nightly evening programs will be offered at the campground amphitheater typically 1 hour after sunset. Other programs include Talks, Walks, star

programs and hikes. Ranger program schedules are posted at the visitor center, Gifford house, nature center, and Campground Hosts’ sites with start times and locations. The Ripple Rock Nature Center, located .9 mile (1.4 km) south of the visitor center on Scenic Drive, will open for the season May 22 and be open daily 9:00 am to 5:00 pm through Labor Day weekend, with generous staffing support from Utah Valley University interns and Capitol Reef Natural History Association staff.

Ranger programs will be presented throughout the day, and family-oriented books, activities, snacks and gifts will be

available at the newly-opened nature center gift shop. The historic Gifford House, located 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the visitor center on Scenic Drive, will also extend hours from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm daily staring Sunday May 15, 2016.

The Gifford House, operated by the Capitol Reef Natural History Association, has pioneer history information on display and sells fresh baked pies, breads and pastries.

It's All Yours!

GO.PLAY. On the Dixie National Forest CEDAR CITY – As Memorial Day weekend approaches it marks the beginning of the summer season for many outdoor enthusiasts to get out and recreate. The Dixie National Forest encourages visitors to “Know Before You Go” and learn about the travel conditions and numerous opportunities available for exploration on the Forest.

With the warm weather and melting snow, travel routes on the Forest are more accessible. Wet, muddy conditions on roads and trails may still be present in higher elevations of the Forest. Travelling on roads before they are dry often results in deep road ruts and expensive tows to get vehicles unstuck. Until conditions are suitable for motorized travel, the Forest may have some temporary seasonal closures to prevent ruts and damage to roads and trails.

As of Memorial Day weekend, all Forest campgrounds will be open and reservations can be made at http://www.recreation.gov/ or call the district offices for additional information on campgrounds.

Dispersed camping is allowed within 150 feet of most designated routes. However, in some parts of the forest dispersed camping is allowed only in designated camp sites.

These areas are shown on the Motor Vehicle Use Map and signs are posted identifying the appropriate area. Use established travel ways and campsites whenever possible.

The motor vehicle use map is a good resource, available at http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/ dixie/maps-pubs or from any of our Visitor Centers.

“We invite everyone of all ages and abilities to explore recreation opportunities that can found on the Dixie National Forest. IT’S ALL YOURS! GO. PLAY. and find a new adventure this year,” said Angelita Bulletts, Forest Supervisor.

“Before visiting the Forest be sure to learn about Forest regulations and pick up free maps,” said Marcia Gilles, Public Affairs Officer.

“The Dixie National Forest website and Facebook sites have travel updates, recreation information and videos to help you plan your next visit to the Forest.”

Free maps can be acquired by visiting one of the Dixie National Forest offices, by phone, or by mail. These maps are also available for free download from the website at: http://www.fs.usda. gov/main/dixie/maps-pubs.

Bear Safety Tips

pHoto by ted Hallows

Keeping your campsite clean and not leaving food out are two keys to staying safe in black bear country.

SOUTHERN UTAH - As Memorial Day weekend nears, DWR provides tips to keep you safe A fun camping trip can turn into a tragic experience if you do things that lure bears into the area where you're camping. Fortunately, it's easy to reduce the chance that a bear comes your way: Keeping your campsite clean and not leaving food out are two keys to staying safe in black bear country.

Don't leave food where a bear can find it.

Make sure your campsite or cabin area is clean and free of litter.

Never feed a bear.

Leslie McFarlane, mammals coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says black bears are doing really well in Utah. Almost all of the areas where people camp in Utah have a population of black bears near them.

McFarlane says bears have an incredible sense of smell. And they're not shy about eating the same kinds of food people eat. "If you're camping in a forested area in Utah," she says, "there's a good chance a bear is close enough to smell the items in your campsite or cabin area."

Keep your camp clean McFarlane says black bears are usually scared of people. "Typically," she says, "they'll do anything they can to avoid us."

That can change quickly, though, if a bear finds food or food scraps in your campsite or cabin area. "When a bear locates food," she says, "it often becomes aggressive and loses its fear of people."

So, what's the secret to keeping bears from visiting your campsite or cabin area?

The answer is simple: reduce smells that attract bears. Specifically, McFarlane encour-

ages you to do the following: Safety tip 1 — Store your 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 your 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 you're staying, if it isn't rewarded with food, it will likely move on.

Safety tip 2 — Keep your cooking grill clean. After you're through eating, clean utensils and anything else that was used to prepare the food or eat it. 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 with you.

Safety tip 3 — Don't toss food scraps and other trash around your campsite or cabin area. Instead, put it in trash bags, and take it home with you. Keep your campsite or cabin area clean.

Safety tip 4 — Never feed a bear.

If you follow these rules, McFarlane says you'll not only help yourself, you'll help other people. And you'll help the bears too.

She says a bear might not visit your campsite while you're there. But any food you leave out, or litter you leave behind, could bring a bear to that same area after you leave.

And that could create a serious problem for those who camp in the area after you. Also, if a bear threatens people, it often has to be euthanized.

"Please keep others and the bears safe," she says.

"Store your food, and keep your campsites and cabin areas clean."
