The United States Bureau of Land Management is accepting public comments regarding the Isvehicles . sued of Federal officials indicate the BLM will work in partnership with the public to develop a national strategy and program guidance to address issues prompted by the growing popularity of 01 IV use. The officials pointed out the need to strike a balance between opportunities for 01 IV use and protection of natural resources. The goal of the strategy is to provide local managers with a framework for addressing issues such as current and future OI IV trail designations, regulations, trends in management, education and law enforcement.

On Aug. 9, the Salt Lake field office will host the second meeting. The public input session will be conducted from 7 to 9 p.m. at 2370 South 2300 West in Salt Lake City. We need the publics help to find ways on how to keep pace with the growing use of OHVs while conserving our natural resources, explained BLM director Tom Fry. We dont have all the answers and were hoping folks will help us develop reasonable guidance and direction. We need to focus our efforts toward solutions rather than tying up our scarce resources in litigation, protests, and appeals. A critical piece of the national strategy development is public participation, stressed the federal agency. The public can comment in a number of ways: At the listening meetings.

In addition, the BLMs budget related re- sources, including the number of recreation specialists and law enforcement personnel, have not kept pace with the past decades growth in OHV use. These and other factors have created the need for a national OHV management strategy. The federal agency will collect public input through the end of August. The information will be analyzed and used to help create the guidance by Nov. 30. BLM in Utah is currently uti plex situation. A copy of Utahs interim OHV management approach will be available for comment at the listening sessions.

This is because SUWA has specifically targeted the closure of several county roads including Eva Conover Road, Devils Racetrack, Elephant Butte Road and the Moquith Mountain Loop Road. They also want the Behind the Rocks and the Moab Rim Roads closed too. According to Brian Hawthorne, the way SUWA slapped the Southeastern Utah OHV Club (SEUOHV) in the face is the most outrageous thing SUWA has ever done and that's saying allot! He refers to when the BLM announced an extensive emergency closure" that banned all vehicle use in the five WSA's in Emery County except for four routes. No one in the OHV community was happy about these closures. Many bemoaned the loss of such traditional travelways Thank You An especially big THANK YOU! to the people who called alnnit my whereabouts and all the friends and family that helped look for me. My year old owner is thrilled that I am back home after being lost for S days. It ust reinstates the fact that its the people of Emery County that nuke it a great place to live, work and play! Thanks for your kindness! JJvatehChou Horse Canyon and Iron Wash. Nevertheless, most OHV people realized that the BLM was under tremendous pressure to clfise everything so they gathered their interests and strengths and went to work with the BLM in an effort of compromise. Additionally, at the time the emergency closure was announced, Emery County was trying to pass the San Rafael NCA legislation. So, OHVers from Emeiy and Carbon county rallied to assist the BLM. In just two short months the BLM had received 1000 hours of volunteer labor. Over 700 of those hours came from the OHV community. Volunteers built kiosks and pounded in carsonite trail markers. They also built barricades tu close off areas not suitable for OHV use. The volunteers were made up of young and old alike. Many of them took time off work to help the BLM. n On behalf of my owners, I would like to thank all of the businesses in Castle Dale and Orangeville that posted my Lost Dog Notice". 1 1 as Saddle Sincere' GRATITUDE We, as members of the DARRELL WOOD family, wish to exfend our sincere gratitude for the many offers of sympathy and consolation in our time of grief.

Also, you would think, that limiting use to just four historic travelways OHV would have pleased SUWA members. Think again. The reward the families of SEUOHV received for their efforts was a big fat slap in the face. SUWA did it in court, with a preliminary injunction request that asked for the IMMEDIATE CLOSURE of these 4 remaining routes. To me, this proves that there is no such word as "compromise" in SUWAs vocabulary. It is interesting to note that every federal judge in Utah has an access, or public lands, or road dispute case in front of them. They are being hit from all rju? sides as are we. I point out that this problem isn't just about OHV use. Public land management is an issue that strikes at the heart of rural community stability. The future of our rural culture hangs in fhe balance of the federal judiciary and it is not leaning in k Jackie Esworthy was killed by a drunk driver one week after her high school graduation.
