Show ) 2. The Salina Sun Wednesday. Deremher8. 1993 4ISEeiterit64hEditbr Goosebery cabins can now be rented by public In past year, the Forest Service had no rapid means of transporting people to and from the backcountry - this required stations, lookouts and other housing facilities to be built for crews while Fighting fires, constructing roads, timber sale preparation and other duties. With the advent of modem transportation, these backcountry facilities have become less needed. Some have been removed while others are being preserved for their historical importance. Over the years, the public has expressed an interest in using some of the structures for summer recreation retreats. Because of a lack of need for them and reduced budgets, creative ways of use and preservation were needed. The recreational cabin concept has been sued throughout the National Forest System. The Fishlake National Forest has implemented this system for the Gooseberry Administrative site. The Fishlake national Forest will be renting the Gooseberry Administrative Site during the summer of 1994. The facility can accommodate fifty (50) individuals in three cabins. There are kitchen and shower facilities available. The cost is $250 per night. Advance reservations are required, and full payment is required thirty (30) days prior to use. Reservations will be taken from the public beginning January 3, 1994. On that date reservations will be taken in person only from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. After 10 a.m. reservations will be taken by telephone or in person.

Thanks to the work of Governor Mike Leavitt and Senator Orrin Hatch, the proposal was withdrawn from an Interior Department appropriations bill. Governor Leavitt organized a group of seven western governors who opposed the proposal in the form of a strongly worded letter to senators. The letter criticized Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt for ignoring the need to offer ranchers proper stewardship incentives. It was credited with saving many of our western ranching families rom the badly thought out proposal. Senator Hatch ensured success on the Senate floor with his powerful statements against the package, and prevailed in getting Babbitt to withdraw the proposed changes from his departments appropriations bill. Those of us who make our living off the land are fortunate to have dodged this bad idea. The challenge ahead is ensuring that Babbitt hears our point of view and works with us to build a grazing policy that is reasonable. Governor Leavitt has tried to open the lines of communication to the secretary. He has had several conversations with him and says he will work hard to help him see the point of view of rural Utahns. The governor has invited the secretary to visit Utah, and try to educate him on our rural issues and present our point of view. This educational effort must continue if the U.S Secretary of Interior is to understand the unique problems of rural Utah, and pass grazing regulations that enable us to continue our livelihoods. The governor is now vice-cha- ir of the Western Governors Association, and will become chair of that association next year. In that capacity he will be in a powerful position to influence the Interior Department on issues like grazing that are critical to rural Utah.
