Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday March 15, 1989 - Page 15 Bluff Stuff Dorothy Nielson by This is such absolutely beautiful weather that the cold days and nights we had are, I hope, only a memory. Im enjoying it so much after that artic blast that I feel like the man who repeatedly hit himself on the head with a hammer because it felt so good when he quit. After venturing out on my porch to feed my cat and occasionally , the skunk throughout the winter, it is now warm enough to go out there and try to make order of chaos. Walking is also, mostly, a pleasure. I took a walk over the graveyard hill, which seemed to be a long climb. The trouble with getting old is a person never really feels differently than he did at 20. I have always loved walking, so I have this image of walking for miles without problems and being able to climb steadily up a hill without even breathing hard. It always comes as a shock that I have to stop now and then for breath, my back hurts, and Im glad to get to where I can sit down. Going down was no problem, and I met a very nice couple who is with the Elderhostel ' group that is here for he week. They are from California and told me they are really enjoying the week and that they love the scenery. They have attended 10 Elderhostels, all of which they enjoyed. There are 14 attending in this Elderhostel group. Two more had expected to come, but had to cancel. Among the group are people from Oregon, California, Arizona, Michigan, Florida and Utah. There are three instructors. They are staying at Recapture Lodge and eating at the Sunbonnet Cafe. They have had three classes: photography, archaeology and A Nation Moves West. They also scheduled optional trips to Hovenwheep and Monument Valley, as well as visits to the historic homes in Bluff. The couple I talked with was especially impressed with Dan Murphy of the regional office of the National Park Service in Santa Fe, who has instructed them in archae- Finley Bayles Dale Lyman 7 Martha Lyman 6 BLUFF Clemma Johnson traveling back and forth to MOAB 4 Carl Eisemann 2 8 Georgia Hamblin Joe M.

At the monthly board meeting in St. George, Utah board members expressed concern that certain parties were ignoring the democratic process by introducing legislation to have larger acreages taken out of and placed in multiple-us- e wilderness without adequate public input, and without regard for the impact of the proposed designations on the revenue potential from school trust lands managed by State Lands and Forestry. We are disturbed by these attempts and feel that these end runs show a disregard for the process, said State Lands and Forestry Board Chairman We think a Roger Peart. balanced assessment of wilder- ness, taking into account revenue generation from trust lands and other multiple-us- e values, using the established process, is essential. The State Lands and Forest- ry Board works with the Division of State Lands and Forestry in managing school of the trust lands. One-nint- h lands currently within potential wilderness areas are state school trust lands. The resolution will be sent to Utah Governor Norman H.
