Show Page 2 Millard County Chronicle Progress August letters Delta Area Chamber of Commerce Comer by Vtierit Muox TO THE Southern Exposure EDITOR Where Do The Buffalo Roam? Is there actually i place where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play? You bet! Recently the Chamber office received a bulletin from the Utah Slate Parka with information that Antelope Island will be open to the public in September The island has been closed since the 1983 flooding Facilities at the two developed beaches have recently been rebuilt and 2000 of the 28 000 acres are being developed for public use Last January antelope which the island was named for when it was discovered by John C Fremont were reintroduced as their population had been decimated by natural conditions predators and hunters Along with the buffalo and antelope deer fo coyotes and thousands of w aterfo wl can be seen on the island Itmay well be the most important wildlife park in the state Swimmers and nonswimmers will find it quite an experience to try the water which is four times saltier than the ocean In November the public can w atch the slate round up the herd of over 600 buffalo Although the Chamber encourages the community to shop at home and Millard County has a great many tourist attractions that people all over the world (more about this later) are discovering sometimes it's fun to get away and Antelope Island might be just the place to go!

Elder'S Ister Morris V W llson It hurts to think It'a confusing it's often disastrous disorderly sometimes it’s even To think - really think - means you have to make decisions choices risk You have to about and are what and you know w ho you are w hat you are going to bring to the party And ask yourself some fairly must honestly you serious questions You must peel away your It can be an ugly and stand naked in your mind’s eye and lake slock Theme suggestion Dear Sue (aka Editor) I have follow ed the front page stories concerning the Miss Millard County competition and have noted the theme have a suggestion for next year’s theme why not “The CEOs?" Contestants could wear power suits and sensible shoes Liberate me! Elizabeth Peterson Grazing fee changes alarming Dear Editor: As an economist at Utah State University who has studied grazing fees on public lands since 19661 am alarmed by many aspects of the changes proposed by the Clinton Administration Study after study shows that permittees incur high costs to graze livestock on public lands In 992 these other costs (fences water supwere at estimated 328 per plies etc) AUM which means that ranchers must pay about $1756 per AUM under the proposed fee system Many ranchers will find that this is not economically feasible Moreover there is not enough private land for ranchers who decide that they cannot afford to use public lands The result will be the end of livestock production in many areas and another blow to beleaguered rural communities The concept of applying a single fee to all public lands is seriously flawed and should be reexamined The proposed fees ire a step in the wrong direction and seem to be motivated by political expediency rather than economic rationality There are alternative methods to equitably assess grazing fees including a proposal developed by the Western Livestock Producers Alliance Ranchers are willing to pay their fair share for the right to graze public lands The proposed grazing fees do not give them that opportunity Darwin B Nielsen Professor Department of Economics never Not everyone can do iL Most people never investigate their potential They their purpose question ihcir huminiry their consciousness themselves at nsk to test their don't live put wonder don't They they hy They become so mettle They instead seek comfort and safety without question They may dull That removed from their own nature that they are neither alive nor dead just lead h ves of quiet which led Henry Dav id Thoreau to observe that “the mass of men desperation" a national epiThe inability to think for oneself has become in my estimauon our abdication demic And I wonder what rewards we as a people will collect for Most specifically I wonder how far we’ll go in order to let others do our thinking for us “Not me" you say Really? Do you avoid all R rated movies no matter what? Do you believe that warning labels on music lyrics are necessary? Do you need warning labels on cigarettes alcohol ice cream? television is entertaining Do you really think that I avoid most movies no matter what their ratings maybe Home Alone 2 and Basic “The Crying Instinct are equally offensive to me Yet I recommend the Game" as one of the most important films I have ever seen I work to know the difference TV amusing although the everpresent laugh track I have yet to find indiscriminately encourages me to think all the jokes are funny snarling tattooed And I can safely guess that a group of unwashed bikers named McgaDcath or Thrasher won't be singing the Gershwin hits I can take a hint But the Federal Government is betting that the majority of Americans are deaf dumb and blind only following the loudest leader And their agencies specifically the Food and Drug Administration are willing to back up that bet with lots and lots of tax dollars (They're also betting we have short memories - they've tried this trick - before) Grazing livestock causes damage Editor: As a witness to past and present damage caused by livestock grazing on our public lands in the state of Utah read with interest the recent letter from the Utah Beef Council As you know many Utah ranchers pay their own way through I're legal utilization of private lands bu a fair percentage use permits on public land and some use any land they can get their cattle on - with or without permission - public or private Your readers may want to measure whatever benefits can be derived from a low fat hamburger and the public subsidies enjoyed by special interest public lands ranchers against the wholesale destruction that has and in places still is occurring on our federal and slate lands I’m not sure how far residents of Millard county would hive to go to obtain the McDonald's McLean Deluxe hamburger referred to in the letter but they don't hive to go far to find the damage done by cattle grazing on their public lands I'm sure your readers would be interested to know that according to Lynn Jacobs (author of ‘Waste of the West: - the most Public Lands Ranching’ comprehensive book on the subject) "The open range livestock business has destroyed more wildlife and its habitat on public land than any other public user It has eliminated more native vegetation It has caused more soil erosion and damage more ruinous flooding more destruction of riparian areas more more invasions of water pollution 'pest animals and plants Ranching is also responsible for more harmful dethan velopments any other use of public land” And it does all this with the help of about $1 billion in annual taxpayer subsidies if you can find Enjoy that burger one Sincerely Christopher Christie Volunteers in the Mori Ber1owitz hypnosis session spend some time looking for their lost belly buttons The innocent antics of those placed in the somnambulistic state had the audience howling with laughter What trick? Legislation is being proposed which will pull all herbvitaminfood we cannot think for supplement products off the shelves and away from us because ourselves Even amino acids the building blocks of protein will become prescription drugs health nut drank Why? Supposedly (although it may not be true) some obsessive so much comfrey tea that she ruined her liver I’m sorry this woman lost her liver But comfrey isn't the problem comfrey has for thousands of years helped millions of people through unknown number of maladies The problem we have here is a woman who either developed a toxic reaction to the herb or who overloaded her system until it rebelled Herbs are simple plants that anyone can grow And this could be the justification for the FDA’s actions You see if anyone can grow them where are the tremendous profits to be gained through marketing packaging production and sales? Herbs are medicine I believe they work If you have a health problem if you are ill they could be an option But as with any other powerful substance they can become your worst enemy if you do not proceed with care They can turn into poison if you don't know w hat you are doing Just as you would not take penicillin with every meal nor should you drink lagoons of comfrey tea all day long It is your responsibility ultimately to know what you are putting in your mouth your ears your eyes your brains That means you also have to think critically And risk intelligently And now it’s up to you to convince the FDA that you are up to the task - j 7 ti Demonstrating craftspersons added interesting and educational seminars at the Fair Here Marc Caldwell teaches viewers howto tie fishing flies hard work if you can get it: Miss Millard Royalty (left to right) Fran Finlinson Deborah Tanner and Andrea Dutson sample and judge a those are figure variety of cooking contests Careful busters It’s - Miss Millard 1393 Andrea Dutson -- performs her talent number that helped to win the crown Scipio pm August 30 Immunization Clinic Delta Public 1:30 am k Health 9 pm September 1 Blood Pressure Clinic Dcl'a Public Health 9 - 11:30 am Immunization - 4:30 Clinic Delta Public Health Even the food booths showed a flair for the unusual Joe Trujillo seen here flipping the ever popular hamburger encouraged hungry folks to try the Greek Gyros the Navajo Tacos and bakery goods pm September 4 Jeffrey A Odgen and MaryAnne Harding wedding reception Deseret Oasis Ward Building 7:30 - 10 pm Program 9 pm Jan Marie Jackson and Jason Thomas wedding reception pm home of bride's parents Fred Jacksons Ork City September 18 East Millard Fine Arts Guild “Opening Social The History booth was a popular place to browse through the collected photographs and histories of local residents Spanning the generations are: Louise Lyman (left seated) with granddaughter Alison George and Mary Henrie with her granddaughter Mindy Coats We were told if we looked under Rodeo in Webster's Dictionary we would find a photo of Swanny Kerby (opposite) owner of Bar T Rodeo stock company We donT have a copy of the book so we took this photo ourselves |
