Legendary Advocate for Wasatch Mountains Dies “Together, we can detract from the natural beauty of the Wasatch continue his legacy, but as I’ve found in the past couple years, it will take nothing short of an army of passionate people to fill the shoes of this one man.” -- Carl Fisher, Save Our Canyons Save Our Canyons cofounder Gale Dick, age 88, died Friday, July 18, 2014 of natural causes at Salt Lake City hospital. He was born (June 12, 1926) and raised in Portland, Oregon, and served in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1946, towards the end of World War II. His profile as a board member on Save Our Canyons’ website states, “He received his education at Reed College, University of Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar) and earned a Ph.D. in physics at Cornell University. He became a member of the University of Utah’s Physics Department in 1959 where he served as a teacher, researcher, department chair, and Dean of the Graduate school until his retirement in 2001. “He served on the Save Our Canyons board of trustees since the organization’s founding in 1972. This has been a labor of love for him, stemming from many years hiking, camping, and skiing in the Wasatch, the Wind Rivers, the Alps, Himalayas, and Cascades.” Gale’s son Tim Dick stated that his father’s passion was preserving the canyons. Since his retirement from the University of Utah, “that was his full-time job . . . .” An article in The Salt Lake Tribune stated, “Often his advocacy put him at odds with ski resorts. He unsuccessfully opposed the land swap that prepared Snowbasin Resort for the 2002 Olympics and was a frequent critic when the resorts in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons wanted to add lifts or expand their ski terrains. Dick was concerned that development would Mountains and have environmental consequences, including erosion of . . . [the] watershed.” The Tribune article also stated, “When Save Our Canyons marked its 40th anniversary, the organization listed successes such as helping to get Lone Peak designated as Utah’s first wilderness area, keeping the 2002 Winter Olympic venues out of the Cottonwood Canyons, the passage of the 1989 Wasatch Canyons master plan, and the elimination of commercial flight paths over much of the range.” Co-Save Our Canyons board member Carl Fisher remembered and eulogized Gale on Facebook. He wrote, “He (Gale) loved the mountains surrounding our community and he organized Save Our Canyons in [an] effort to elevate the voice of others in the region about the importance of the Wasatch Mountains, and worked tirelessly to defend them. Not only did he love the mountains, he dearly loved the community they support: the people, the plants and animals, the history, the powder, the place. “A few years back, on a trip to work on the Wasatch Wilderness and Watershed Protection Act, Gale and I shared a room. Working on our congressional testimony over coffee, I asked Gale, ‘You’ve travelled the world; you’ve experienced landscapes most people only see in magazines. What is the best place I should plan to visit someday?’ Without hesitation, Gale replied, ‘The most amazing place I’ve ever been, the most stunning place in the world is the Lone Peak Cirque [part of the Wasatch Mountain range], without a doubt. It is truly a magnificent and wonderful place.’ “We tend to take these places for granted sometimes, because they are so close, but Gale knew how lucky we are to have a place like the Wasatch.” Fisher added, “For now, here is what we can do for Gale, go for a walk in the Wasatch, enjoying the wilderness; fight for remaining wilderness; get the greater community to stand up for the Wasatch and be informed about what is happening to it.” National Night Out is August 5: Ogden to join cities nationwide for “America’s Night Out Against Crime” On Tuesday, August 5, the City of Ogden will join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “31st Annual National Night Out” crime and drug prevention event.
