Show Page Two - The Springville Herald - July 26, 1989 Pmnwa it no growing season It's marijuana growing season in Utah, according to Marty Phillips, Law Enforcement Officer for Utah's Bureau of Land Management. "Public lands arc often used to cultivate marijuana because they arc relatively, isolated and offer favorable weather and other growing grow-ing conditions," stated Phillips. If you notice unusual activities or other signs of marijuana cultivation, cultiva-tion, leave the area immediately and notify the BLM (801)539-4084. "Never try to take action yourself because growers can become hos-, tile or violent if placed in the right circumstances," warns Phillips. Be aware of the following signs: - Permanent camps, support equipment like camouflage clothing, cloth-ing, netting, vehicles and other camouflage-painted items. - New trailsor paths, especially to or from a water source; water source improvements, buried pipelines. - Man-made barriers across roads and trails to inhibit visitor entry. - Dogs, bobby traps, and alarm systems. - Cultivation materials, such as PVC pipe and other irrigation equipment like pipe fittings, drip heads and water pumps. - Growing materials such as potting pot-ting soil, fertilizer, peat moss, garden gar-den tools, starter cups, soil testers, and moisture meters. "We want to keep your visit to Utah's public lands safe and enjoyable, enjoy-able, while eliminating the illegal cultivation of marijuana," states Jim Parker, Slate Director for Utah's BLM. "You can help out by watching watch-ing for these activities and notifying notify-ing the proper authorities." "People providing information can remain anonymous," Parker added. EDITORIAL WEigy con you do? The World Folkfest is a unique program. It is centered around sharing, giving, exchanging, uniting, and most of all, . caring. The cultural exchange alone far surpasses anything we could think of doing ourselves. The festival is now in its fourth year. It is growing and getting better and better. With support from the entire community, it can become as big as the Manti Pageant or the Shakespearean Festival. These events started somewhere. They started with a dream, an idea, a vision of something great, a purpose. They, like the World Folkfest, bring people together as a group and as families. It takes time, money, and lots of volunteer power to accomplish this event. But it cannot happen every year without the support of the citizens of this city. What can you do to help? Each year hundreds of homes are needed to house the visiting dancers and musicians. Guides are needed to act as a liaison between the performers and the Folkfest committee. commit-tee. Volunteers are needed for the performances. Others are needed to help sell tickets and a long list of other duties. We all need to get behind the Folkfest Committee and offer our support with our time and talents. With your help this will become a great annual event in our community. Springville is becoming known worldwide. Countries are calling us and asking to be a part of the World Folkfest. Call the Folkfest office today, 489-3657. Ask them how you can help. This year seeds of hope and peace will be planted when these performers visit our city. Friendships will be made any examples will be shown. What will you do to nelp?
