OWNED WILLIAM COMPANY B DUTSON V WILSON Smith st (27) a particular property is located Draft rules The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) today announced proposed regulations that would set new rental payments for radio television mobile radio cellular telephone and other comuses of munication public lands The draft regulations which appear in today’s Federal Register would establish rental payment schedules for 11 service categories of communication for which fair market value is required for the use of public lands schedules the proposed Although have been developed in cooperation with the US Forest Service the draft regulations published today would aflands fect only BLM Director Mike Acting Dombeck said "These proposed regulations are intended lo end a longstanding debate over how much the Federal Government should charge commercial broadcasters for using Federal lands This is an important step in resolving that issue" Dombeck also said the proposed new rules would advance the Clinton AdGovernministration’s "Reinventing ment” initiative which calls on Federal agencies to develop more effective and efficient ways of doing business Toward that end the draft regulations among other things would reduce the BLM's rental col lection administrative costs Dombeck urged all interested parties to submit written comments on the draft regulations during the public comment period He said the BLM tends to publish final regulations before the end of the year The BLM administers about 3300 communication sites and collects $15 million to S2 million annually in rental payments Currently the BLM authorizes communication uses and assesses basis that uses real rent on a a estate appraisals process that has resulted in lost revenues Written comments on the BLM's site rental proposed communication payment regulations should be postmarked no later than September 12 Comments 1994 should be sent lo: Director (140) Bureau of Land Management Room 5555 MIB 1849 C Street NW

exceeded the national loan rate before reduction no NL deficiency payment will be made Often times we need a reminder of who we really are and why we are here I've all share certain always believed that although everyone’s not exactly the same we qualities The greatest of these good qualities when we choose to express them are good manners and common sense Parents spend much of their time raising their children to act politely respectfully and to use good sense in making decisions As we grow older we find it very difficult to stay within these criteria of an honorable and gracious human being Yet the teachings of our family usually assist us in keeping our behavior in check It’s when some believe that their circumstances allow them to be exempt from just and sometimes plain good manners and decent common courtesy that our children ourselves are tempted to question whether our basic principles arc outdated Each time I meet anyone who has a “chip” on their shoulder they receive my cold But to piercing glare (ask my kids what extended exposure to the glare causes) alleviate the attitude I make certain every person I come into contact who makes any of the gestures of polite good manners I thank them Some say it’s nothing but I tell them how much I appreciate them and the parents who taught them Every time we meet the good it is surely a good day for us They don t need to be just have plain good sense Thank you for being one of those with that plain (but extraordinary) good sense Hummingbird Migration Adds to Summer Holidays By Ron Stewart DWR Regional Education & Information Manager The Fourth of July is always an easy day to remember because it announces itself with parades fireworks and other colorful displays including the hummingbird migration It is the day I usually see my first rufous hummingbird This tiny brightly colored bird and its relatives always seem to add to the festivities of the Fourth The three most common hummingbirds in Utah are the black chinned and the rufous The and the nest in the state while the rufous is a summer migrant Both Utah nesting species usually lay two eggs in a nest about the size of a golf ball The nest is constructed using plant fibers lichen spider webs feathers and other soft of pliable materials The eggs incubate 14 to 17 days and the days young stay in the nest about Plant nectar pollen and small insects comprise the majority of a hummingbird’s diet The rufous hummingbird is a summer migrant and the majority of birds pass through Utah in July and August Adult males appear first followed a few day s or a week later by adult fem ales and finally the juveniles This pattern also and the holds true for the hummingbirds which begin to migrate about the same time This pattern indicates any flight directions juvenile hummingbirds follow on their migrations must be genetically encoded as they receive no direction from their parents Banding studies and observations indicate the rufous hummingbird follows a rather circular migration pattern using the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges as fly ways The rufous hummingbirds nest in Oregon Washington Idaho and Montana Western Canada and the Alaskan Panhandle Banding records from a few individuals indicate the birds leave these areas and fly east or southeast and then work their way south along the South and Central Rocky Mountains Some winter in the Southern United States while others continue into the Sierra Madrc Orientalc Mountains of Eastern Mexico and then west across the transvolcanic ranges In the spring they work their way north along the Sierra Madrc Occidcntale of Western Mexico and then up the Siena Nevada to Oregon and Washington Some bred there while others continue north into Canada or cast into Idaho or Montana The banding studies have also given Reage estimates for hummingbirds searchers on Gothic Mountain in Coloin rado banded a juvenile 1987 This small female returned to the banding station in 1988 and was observed nesting in 1989 and 1990 Gothic Mountain researchers have also caught and banded hundreds of rufous hummingbirds during their migration One caught as a juvenile has been recaptured in four of the next five years Two other rufous hummingbirds were no less than four years old when recaptured Feeding hummingbirds has become a popular activity The birds are easily attracted lo a variety of feeder styles Food can either be commercial blends or just sugar and water Rich food sources are critical to hummingbird survival research efforts have documented hummingbirds must consume more than their own body weight per day Backyard bird feeders may have several goals but the major three arc first to attract birds to the yard second to supply food at a rate where the birds will stay nearby and visit the feeder frequently and third place the feeders w here they can be easily viewed Ratios of sugar to water of 1:3 or 1:4 arc best as the food is concentrated enough to fulfill the hummingbirds caloric demand while maintaining frequent visits to the feeder As the weather gets colder and flowers more scarce increasing the sugar content to 1:2 or even 1:1 will give the birds more time between meals and more energy for their southern migration Flying the friendly skies? Airplane cabins can be prime areas for con tag ious diseases to spread Recirculated air reduced air pressure and dryness all may cause problems for travelers Here's what you can do to stay healthy according to Corporate Travel magazine: 1) Drink eight ounces of water per hour while you’re in the air 2) Avoid alcohol caffeine or soft drinks 3) An air filler mask may protect you from germs if you don’t mind looking slightly conspicuous 4) Bring bottled water with you on international flights 5) Try not to fly if you’re already sick or coming down with something 6) Take you contact lenses out Cabin air dries out the eyes Outreach program Beginning Fall Quarter 1994 Utah State University College of Agriculture will be delivering an agribusinesspro-ductioagriculture program for the Farm Home Administration Borrowers and This will be available via will be available at the Delta Tech FmHA has invited all interested individuals lo participate regardless of w hether they arc FmHA borrowers For more information please contact the county ASCS office Policy The Millard County Sheriffs Office has a policy of supplying names of all people charged with felonies or serious misdeamcn-or- s from the age of 16 to the newspaper The Chronicle Progress will publish the names The County Agent J NIR Analysis Report by Jody Gale 191 Crude Protein ADF 329 MCF 314 TDN (from MCF) 542 RFV 12277 3rd Crop Hay Sampled 8894 Late Mid Bud to Early Bloom Stage SUMMER FUN EVENTS 12 13: Millard County Fair Millard Co August 10 Fairgrounds Delta 12 13 Days of the Old West Rodeo Millard County Fairgrounds August Delta d:00pm’’City of Fun" Carnival afternoons & evenings Millard County Fairgrounds Delta August 13: Orita 4 Ball Sunset View Golf Course 8:30 am Shotgun Delta Millard County Fair Fun Run County Fairgrounds 7:30 am Last Chance Dance MHS Fillmore 8:30-- 1:30 pm Aurust 17 18 Jr Club Championship 830 Sunset View Golf Course August 19 20 21: Mens Club Championship Sunset View Golf Course August 20: Oak City's Homecoming Oak City 800 Brought to you by these businesses: Delta FAX: BY SUSAN creates a shift in the tax burden either from or to the private sector of the county For the past couple of years neither the West Millard Mosquito Abatement District nor Mill ard County Fire Service District have assessed a property tax for their operating revenue They are both now in a financial position where it is again necessary for them to access a property tax to continue their operations The county is in the process of trying to be released from the Central Utah Water District Conservancy (CUP) however until the release is complete according to legal procedure the county must continue to access a tax for them The Millard County School District also a separate entity from the county has increased its tax rate this year the school board sets its tax rate to cover total operations More than half of the school district's tax rate is mandated by the slate school board This revenue is transferred to the state uniform school fund to be used throughout the slate It may be of interest to note the approximate distribution of a tax dollar collected in Millard County for the year ended 1993 Recently Millard County real property owners received their 1994 “Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Change" These notices showed an increase in the “tax if proposed budget approved” column Millard County would like to briefly explain some of the circumstances which caused the proposed crease in these taxes Millard County docs not have the total ability to control what the final tax dollar cost is to the property owner All independent taxing entities such as cities towns school districts state mandated programs and some special service districts control their tax rates the county merely collects taxes in behalf of these entities Tax rates can increase to allow a taxing entity to collect the same amount of lax dollars this year as last year This happens when the property values in that entity decrease One big change this year was a decrease in value of the Power Plant Intcrmouniain Brush Wellman Inc Continental Lime Inc Citizens Telecom and many others these businesses make up the majority of the taxable value within Millard County When a large change in value occurs to any of this type of property it Carpets -
