Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, May 9-11, 2018 The Park Record A-9 Recycle Utah and city team up for Arbor Day clean-ups Public invited to show pride by tidying up Submitted by Recycle Utah Recycle Utah and Park City Municipal are co-sponsoring the annual “Pride in Your Park” community cleanup event on Saturday, May 12th at City Park. Volunteers will meet at the bandstand at 9:00 a.m. and break up into small groups. Come prepared to pick up trash and recyclables in Park City’s parks, waterways, roadsides and fields. The clean-up will last until noon. Garbage collected will be recycled or be taken to the landfill. Both trash bags and recycling bags will be provided. Volunteers are asked to bring their own reusable water bottles, sunscreen, hats and gloves. An inventory of gloves will be pro- vided by Park City Municipal for those who don’t have them. This is an event for all ages, though adult supervision of children is required. Another event, an Arbor Day tree planting, is set to take place Saturday, May 12 at Prospector Park. In 1872, the Nebraska Board of Agriculture created Arbor Day, a special day to be designated for the planting of trees. Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world. To commemorate Arbor Day, the Arbor Day Foundation created the Tree City USA program to help communities manage and expand their public trees. This year, Park City Municipal Corporation (PCMC) celebrates 25 years of recognition as a Tree City USA. To celebrate Arbor Day and PCMC’s 25th anniversary as a Tree City USA, PCMC will host a tree planting event at Prospector Park on Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants will be educated on how to plant a tree, and everyone will be given a free tree seedling to take home. Both events are family-friendly, but please leave your canine friends at home. Work gloves and bags will be provided. Bring a water bottle, sturdy, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and sunglasses. For questions, please contact Recycle Utah at 435-649-9698, or PCMC at 435-615-5638.

JOIN US FOR TWO COMMUNITY PARK EVENTS MAY 12 | 9 AM TO NOON Activists charged with stealing turkeys from plant Defendants cry foul, maintain they ‘rescued’ birds JULIAN HATTEM Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – Five animal rights activists are facing felony charges and up to 10 years in prison for taking turkeys from a central Utah farm in what they call a rescue of suffering animals. Prosecutors call it criminal theft. Sanpete County prosecutors filed charges Wednesday against members of the California-based Direct Action Everywhere for actions that occurred while capturing undercover video at farms that supply the Norbest turkey plant in Moroni about 105 miles south of Salt Lake City last January. “What we saw was suffering on a horrendous scale,” Jon Frohnmayer, one of the activists, said Friday. He and another man last year interrupted Gov. Gary Herbert’s pardoning of a Thanksgiving turkey, shouting “Show us all the barns!” The five members were each charged with one count of felony burglary and felony poultry theft. A sixth man was charged with felony burglary. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Frohnmayer said the activists took at least three suffering birds as a so-called “open rescue,” including a chick they named Abby. “We rescued Abby because that was simply the compassionate thing to do,” he said. “She was on the verge of death. She couldn’t hold her head up.” One of the group’s strategies is to identify apparently needy animals and take them from commercial facilities to a veterinary clinic and then to a sanctuary. Undercover images from Utah farms released by Direct Action Everywhere last November show allegedly haggard and sick birds crowded into tight spaces. Norbest, which claims its turkeys come “from pristine high mountain valleys,” has said that the images were “deeply disturbing.” Please see Fowl play, A-10 PRIDE IN YOUR PARK CLEANUP Join a crew to pick up trash and recyclables in the city parks, waterways, roadsides, and fields Meet at City Park Bandstand | 1354 Park Avenue Email outreach@recycleutah.org or call 435.649.9698 for more information ARBOR DAY TREE PLANTING Help us celebrate our 25th year as a Tree City!
