in the basement of the Sevier County Court House was stifling The air conditioning wasn't working and the combined body heat of the several hundred audience members made the room extremely uncomfortable Added to all of this the audience was an angry crowd — consisting mostly of rancherscattlemenlandown-er- s eager to vent their frustrations at Tun Provan director of Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources Mr Provan had been invited down to the Richfield District by Senator Orrin Hatch's office to explain his wildlife the landowners as well policymaking-tas a delegation of congressional representatives county commissioners Utah State University extension agents public land managers Slate Senate and House members from 8 rural counties Mr Tim Pro van was in the hottest seat of all Mr Provin spent several hours defending his approach to commingling wildlife and agriculture needs on public and private lands After answering approximately 20 previously submitted questions from a typd sheet Mr Provin then answered questions written by audience members and then spent more time answering their verbal questions Mr Provan spent several hours explaining his approach to commingling wildlife and agriculture needs on public and private lands After answering approximately previously submitted 20 questions from a typed sheet Mr Provan then answered questions written by audience members and then spxcnt some time answering verbal questions “Wildlife has a right on private land" said Mr Frovan “By court law birds have a right to pick a worm out of the ground and deer and elk have a right to walk on the land" “And we need cattle on the I believe it’s good" said Mr Provan “I don't want you off of public propiertyI don’t want your pierm its to go up one cent I am serious when I say we must be there together in the future But I am the Director for the Division of Wildlife and I will have a hard time voting against wildlife" “I’m aware that to some there’s no such thing as one animal that’s acceptable" continued Mr Provan addressing a question about depredation “Depredation is what we are dealing with But I'll bet that everyone here holds wildlife near and dear to your heart And your kids love recreation too I believe there are other economic benefits out there we’ ve got to strive for a balanced partnership" Mr Provan told the audience that he is seeking legislative help to implement more reseeding programs “Drought years have cut numbers in livestock but not wildlife Three years ago we had 70000 elk 30 years ago we had 7000 elk Right now we have 55000 elk" he said addressing the concerns over recently issued Elk Plans — four of which increased and 15 remained the same The DWR was Mr Provan revealed initially set up to be “pmre biology Nothing else” The general pniblic doesn’t fully understand who the players are and what agency is responsible for which decisions “The general public believes that the system prescriptions are already in place" Mr Provan held out great hop for the recently funned LandownerWild-lifCommittees he advocates in rural areas “We’ve got to get the public more involved so they can see negotiations hapxpning on the ground These decisions should not be made at my level In a later interview Mr Provan said the meeting was not a common one but typical “I lake them very seriously" he said “It is contingent ujxxn our agency that we process information and let these pople vent their frustrations I have advocated for years that wildlife and agriculture come closer together but my mandate doesn't say that I'll manage wildlife in the interest of agriculture I have to manage wildlife even for those people who will never see them" “There are many values to wildlife: recreation scientific educational economic and artistic I'll be the first one to admit that agricultural values are very strong But I have to manage wildlife for all the values" “It was a difficult meeting but I would like to think that it was a good meeting I will always go to meetings where I can meet with pwople I consider to be important And these are the ones who make things happien on a local level I learn a lot and hopefully the aud ience learns a lot Some mectin gs are more balanced than others" he said “In totality there will always be differences between us" stated Mr Provan "That’s just the nature of the beast" Let Nature Be Your Teacher Darrell McMahon DWR Wildlife Biologist With spring melting away in the heat of the summer sun four second grade classes from Fillmore Elementary School traveled to Nevada to spnd the day at the Great Basin National Park Mrs Robinson's Miss Weight’s Mrs Monroe's and Mrs Stephenson’s 2nd grade classes spnt the day enjoying the inspiration that nature's classroom offers Nature's lessons are espxecially impwrtant and valuable to growing children It’s fantastic to have a progressive quality school system that allows learning discovering and growth outside the traditional textbookclassroom habitat associated with schools With the exception of teaching children to love nothing can be as important to assist children in learning increasing knowledge gaining skills and developing an awareness and commitment to the continuing health of this planet our earth and home And to understand it is a home that we share with all the other living things Henry David Thoreau wrote: "The earth is more to be admired than to be used” It's vitally impwrtant to enhance our children's concern for the land and its resources and to teach them to realize that their future is going to depwnd on working to improve the quality of the environment for life on this earth The highlight of the trip was discovering the wonders and stunning beauty of Lehman cave With joyful and enlightening insight the Lids learned about the geologic formation of stalagmites s stalactites columns drapery and Apxpreciation of the principles of ecological systems were discovered by the children while touring the visitor center With intense awareness and jubilant enthusiasm the children took a nature hike through the park and learned about plant ecology and geology They were also taught about the diversity of wildlife values when they encountered a great basin rattlesnake as they traversed the trail through the pinion and junipr pygmy forest Nature awareness games were played by the children which were designed to lead them from awareness to action They were designed to create or stimulate experiences in which wildlife and nature are the teachers Each game was the mouth through which nature spoke to the children At one lime or another during the field trip each of the children and leaders were touched by natures immense mystery in some personal or special way perhaps it was with the wind whispering through the trees or discovering the stunning beauty of a stalagmite that grows one inch every 100 years or by watching the acrobatic grace of a bam swallow or possible through the incredible beauty of a colorful wildflower No doubt everyone’s lives were enriched when we left our privstc concerns in Fillmore and cmersed ourscl ves in the beauty of die world around us I think we were all reminded of the insight of William Wordsworth when he said: "come forth into the light of things Let nature be your teacher" Thresholds PassagesTransitionsSpring the bareness of is full of transformations of sparing winter giving way to the blossom Harsh winds softening day light stretching N ature has out on both sides of Noon Mother that time has her own ways of signalling

Faith propels past to resist Fear tugs at us as we proceed seems so comfortable us keep our hopes high but what we're about to leave behind compared to the uncertainty of our next step because that is nature s way And yet we go on graduates and the departed of the staggered This year I was able to attend most of both graduations because Fillmore I w itched our best and brightest starting times one hour apart In Delta and and become closer to that realm we step forward and toss their tassels take a diploma call maturity I am surprised at my strong I felt as though my own children are leaving home I wanderer I have kept many conventions at arms length have feelings As a on But distanced myself from the ebb and flow of everyday life by always moving that with and investment Millard in County investment an now I find I’m making comes attachment For the past two years I have become aware of some of the students and have these young friends step developed strong affections for them While watching forward I felt a tremendous loss knowing that they would soon be moving on to I will miss them I thoughL What a huge hole college and out of our communities How they are leaving in my heart This feeling is not strange to me - it is a feeling I associate with the death of many - - - - - - and my beloved Grandmother Then I thought back to my own graduation ceremony and what a fiasco it was My fractured left ankle was encased in a plaster cast and despite previous admonishments from faculty advisors during rehearsals I couldn’t restrain my ricochet from one side of the aisle to the other as I comically lunged toward the stage with the rest of my classmates (This wasn’t the last time I’ve had difficulty walking the straight and narrow) As I was one of the tallest girls in my class I was placed on the fourth row of the rickety makeshift bleachers slacked on the stage I vali anlly wobbled up and down the fragile stepx several limes that evening certain each step would bring me to total was tottering on the embarrassment If I wasn't struggling with the comic lurch brink of the black void that lay just inches beyond my unstable seat The only giant leap I took that night was metaphorical And that lump in my throat the most on was the tangible fear of tripping and tumbling important night of my I young life was too innocent to know fear of the other great void was facing My next graduation I pwesume will be the true final ex am the one we celebrate with Memorial Day into reunion with I’ll soar chairs Then un tethered by plaster casts or wobbly Leilanj and Jamie and Connie and Mark and Greg and Paul and the Reverend And my Grandmother Ah what a Senior Sneak that will be! J&'tbaA Home and School: - Vital Links President by LILY ESKELSEN Utah Education Association Having heart We talk about bureaucrats and administrators with a snarl and a sneer Nobody loves them They’re fair game And they’re easy targets because they often have no faces For those of us who know them they not only have faces They have hearts Like Dr Joyce Barnes who retires this year from Grahite School District For yers Dr Barnes has worked in the district office advocating for the needs of special education students She’s been a strong voice and a firm hand and when she gels her way it means kids have won Like Richard Gomez in the State Office of Education who coordinates a staff devoted to bringing educational equity to the diverse ethnic population in Utah Like Logan’s Superintendent Gary Carlston who took a year’s sabbatical to serve as principal of Woodruff Elementary so he could once more learn the names of the children in his care And like Ralph Poulsen principal of Mapleton Elementary in Nebo District whose faculty unanimously nominated him as Administrator of the Year last year On letter after letter of recommendation the writers used words like "love” and “trust” and “respect" along with glowing tributes to his organizational skills and competence Mr Poulsen 's work as a living testament to the scientific research done on the characteristics of effective schools that show in very impressive big numbers with decimal pxiints and everything that an administrator is impiortanl to the success of a school The administrator must pul together a staff to work for a common goal excite parents about the program and make them feel welcome and bring a sense of pride and ownership on the part of the community It happens everyday that creative industrious teachers achieve amazing results isolated behind closed doors Bui when il s an entire school community that moves forward you can bet the linchpin is the administrator And so I just can t seem to join in the popular sport of administrator bashing that surfaces every now and again Because Mr Poulsen has a face And I watched the look on dial face when his faculty give him a standing ovation as he accepted his award as Administrator of the Year And I know what the little boy in Miss Christensen’s class said when Mr Poulsen died of cancer this year "He loved us didn’t he?"
