President and Vice-President for a four (4) year term. Wildlife biologists recently captured 30 desert bighorn sheep and placed them in a new home. The Division of Wildlife Resources captured the sheep at several sites in southeastern Utah. After capturing the sheep, the biologists transplanted them to John’s Canyon, a tributary of the San Juan River. The river empties into the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Lake Powell. DWR Wildlife Manager Bill Bates says wild sheep once lived in John’s Canyon but were extirpated decades ago. The recent transplant is the first step in bring- ing sheep back to the canyon. The biologists collected surplus animals from healthy herds near Green River and Moab, and then trucked them south. Bighorns inhabit steep, rocky terrain that is best accessed by helicopter. The DWR contracted Pathfinder Helicopter Services for the capture project. Sheep were located by flying over terrain where good-sized populations are known to occur. Once the sheep were located, the capturers fired a net from the helicopter that entangled the animals. The captured sheep were then secured in a nylon sleeve The Outdoor Report is Sponsored by: and flown to a staging area for a health inspection, and then transfer to a horse trailer. After collecting a trailer full of sheep, the woolies were trucked to their new home near the Utah-Arizona border. The new herd consists of five rams, 22 ewes and three lambs. The habitat in John’s Canyon is similar to the habitat in the areas they were taken from. The canyon features craggy cliffs and a permanent water source. With some luck, the herd should grow to its former size. 528-5001 Hwy 89 Northeast of Gunnison Open Monday - Saturday The First Word and Last Name in Log Homes!

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the Sanpete County Clerk this 6th day of February, 2008. DATED: February 6, 2008 Sandy Neill Sanpete County Clerk Published in the Gunnison Valley Gazette, February 14, 2008. Mark Henline/Gunnison Valley Gazette The Boy Scouts of the Gunnison Stake would like to extend warm appreciation and thanks to the Lion’s Club for providing dinner to many hungry scouts on Boy Scout Appreciation Night. The dinner was a Boy Scout favorite, hotdogs and baked beans. It’s ironic that after serving the beans the Lion’s Club quickly cleaned up and left. The rest of the evening consisted of a flag ceremony by troop 564 (Gunnison 2nd ward) and several games. The games began with British Bulldog, which went well until several adults couldn’t resist the fun and started acting like kids; ultimately it ended in a draw for fear of a certain former Bishop having a heart attack. Hot Isotope and the Memory game were played and won by troop 562 (Centerfield 2nd ward), and the Log Hoist game was won by troop 1645 (Gunnison 5th ward). Several individuals in addition to the Lion’s Club contributed to a wonderful evening of fun. A special thanks to Bishop Inouye and Matt Reber for providing the games, Brady Belnap for his Scoutmaster Minute on commitment to excellence, and Grant Hansen for making the Elementary School available to the young men of Gunnison Valley. The scouts look forward to another great banquet next year. Pictured above is Derek Overly and Stake Young Men’s President Dwight Inouye preparing the games.
