To the Editor: Mr. Van Weerd has some valid concerns over wilderness and land use. public his letter to the Unfortunately, 14 is so full of of editor May misunderstandings, poor logic, and just plain ignorance, that I could not find any valid concerns. I would like to address a few points. First of all, environmentalists are not trying to run cattle and sheep off public lands. Even if that were on the agenda, wilderness designation would not be the way to do it. Existing grazingrights are maintained on congressionally protected wilderness. Grazing may not completely destroy the environment, but it does have a severe negative impact. To say otherwise is to ignore history. Grasses six feet high once covered this valley and surrounding mountains until overgrazing left Sanpete a dustbowl. The Great Basin Experimental Station (GBES) was established to study and find solutions to a problem that Mr. Van Weerd claims does not exist. Through the efforts of the GBES, the ecosystem has recovered somewhat, but to say that the range is better than it was is like say i ng the Soviets were better ofT under Stalin than they were under the Czars. I ts true, but not by much. Perhaps the most gross misunderstanding is over the timber industry and the spotted Friday Forum Speaker Named LeMarO. Hanson, Associate Area Director for the Utah Cedar City South Area and Instructor at the Ephraim LDS Institute, will be the speaker at Friday Forum on May 29, 1992 at 12:30 p.m. The title of his talk will be, So Long... The public is invited to attend. United States Department of Agriculture The The controversy isnt over just spotted owls andjobs. Justas we use thermometers to monitor our health, ecologists use spotted owls to monitor the health of old growth systems. Mr. Van Weerds eitheror logic is unsound and should be embarrassing to those who share his views. We can have spotted owls and toilet paper and jobs too. The forests of the south, which are second growth forests, can provide all of our nations timber needs on a sustainable basis. An entire ecosystem will be lost if we continue old growth logging in theNorthwest, but not manyjobs. The vast majority of loggers are out of work not because of environmental protection, but because of business reasons and In fact, technology. environmentalism creates and protects jobs. For example, the recycling industry five jobs for every one in the extractive industries, and thats just recycling. There are many conflicts in public land management that need to be resolved, that can be resolved. I believe that the solutions will be both economically friendly and ecologically friendly. Unfortunately, we will never attain any degree of with the level of ignorance demonstrated by Mr. Van Weere. Im willing to listen to, and try to understand, his concerns. Is he willing to listen to mine? Jaren Barker Snow College student Area student has made new recommdations for canning procedures. The old methods you may have used for years may no longer be safe. Therefore, the USU Cooperative Extension Office for Sanpete County will be conducting canning clinics in various towns throughout the county during June to disperse information and check pressure canners to assure that they have adequate pressure to kill microorganisms that cause spoilage and food poisoning. You may bring your canner lid and pressure gauge to the sites indicated below. Be sure that you identify yourequipment clearly. Ifyou cannot come to the clinic nearest you on the specified day and time, you might want to go to another town on a date that (USDA) is more convenient. After the conclusion of the series of clinics, canners may still be checked on Tuesday afternoons from 1 :30 to 4 p.m. at our office in the basement of the county courthouse. You may drop your lid and gauge off on Monday afternoons or Tuesday mornings after 4:30 or Wednesday mornings, (or you may wait in line on Tuesday afternoon.) Any canners that come in after the drop off time will be checked the next week. Also, we cannot take any equipment that is not clearly and securely labeled on both the lid and the gauge (if the gauge is detachable). Be sure to put your full name, town, phone number, address; and for safety, your canner type. We would appreciate it ifyou would please notaskihatcanners be checked at any'bther times than the ones indicated as there will not be personnel available to accomplish this task at other times. The dates set for the clinics are as follows: June 8: Mt.

Earlier in the day Mrs. Jurman spoke to a writers group in the Snow College Little Theater.
