The Utah Minor Consent Law was also explained (youth 7 are allowed to be aged tested and treated for sexually 14-1- transmitted diseases without the consent of a parent or legal guardian). At the conclusion of the presentation, Wilson emphasized that abstinence from sexual activity is the only completely effective way to remain risk-freAbstinence works 100 percent of the time, he noted. For those who dont abstain from sex, condoms are a recommended means of providing some protection. However, Wilson added that condoms are not always effective, nor do they prevent the spread of certain STDs, such as genital warts. Those w'ho are sexually active are encouraged to be tested, along with their partners. Health department and other contact information was also provided, along with an informational pamphlet called STD Facts.

Patrol welcomed four officers from Lieutenant Todd Peterson of the Utah the Wasatch Front-base- d Highway UHP Motor Squad to help with traffic enforcement on state highways during this week's Jeep Safari. Lt. Peterson said the UHP will be dealing primarily with traffic flow into town during this high-voluperiod, including secondary state roads such as Highway 128 (River Road). The Moab office five has troopers and one sergeant on staff, and last year employed two motor troopers from out of town during Jeep Safari. One of those troopers has returned this year with three others.

A few of the parents in attendance expressed concern and even discomfort with some of the material in the presentation. Its just so ugly and negative, said one poll ts These are some of the responses: Whats wrong is that some of its trips go into areas that cant withstand the impacts. Jeep Safari should stay out of riparian wildlife habitat and proposed wilderness areas: Lawlessness areas in the back country with no supervision. JS should be rescheduled to avoid spring break. Right is the money brought into town. Wrong is the beer drinking rednecks that join jeep clubs. How about checking with participants this year on whether they would come in May rather than MarchApril? Then move the date away from Spring Break time. Then keep up the heavy enforcement of existing rules and regs, INCLUDING arresting underage drinkers: There is nothing right about Jeep Safari. Not enough restrictions and education: Its GCHS Principal Tom Brown said at the meeting that he wished there were a way for every student to be taught the information by their own parents or guardians. If they get it at home, thats the best way, he said. It can be open, honest, and spiritual. Education has got to be the answer, Brown added, I just dont know the best or least controversial way of presenting this information. He said that if the module were to be presented at GCHS, he would recommend that it be taught in smaller classes, segregated by gender and grade level, rather than to a large group in the auditorium. The main issue here is that we have a problem in Moab, added superintendent Ron Ferguson toward the end of the meeting. We have to do something about it together. Its not just a school district problem, agreed school board president Kaaron Jorgen afterward. Its a community problem, and we need to all work together. Its too important to ignore. We have an obligation to everyones children, added Jorgen. Its not just our own children. Who knows whos going to be at risk?
