This program is designed for existing book clubs that can read a book featured by the museum, then come as a group to the UMFA to view art that relates to the book. An online Discussion Guide is offered for each featured book to facilitate conversation at book clubs’ meetings, and to enhance the tour at the Museum. Trained UMFA docents will guide discussion-based tours, which last approximately one hour. The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is located at the Marcia & John Price Museum Building located at 410 Campus Center Drive in Salt Lake City on the University of Utah campus. The museum also houses a fine cafe where visiting book club groups can gather for lunch, before or after their museum tour. UMFA’s most recent featured book is Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel. The Utah Museum of Fine Arts, unknowingly, owned a painting that had been confiscated in Paris by Goering during WWII. It was returned to its rightful owners in 2014 with a lot of press fanfare. Other books in the series include Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey by the Countess of Carnarvon, A Thief of Time by Tony Hillerman, Devil’s Trill by Gerald Elias, The Lost Painting: The Quest for a Caravaggio Masterpiece by Jonathan Harr, Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the Fall of Madame X by Deborah Davis, The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean, Memories of Madame Vigée Lebrun translated by Lionel Strachey; and Nefertiti by Michelle Moran. Art Tours for Book Lovers tours are free with general Museum admission. UMFA members receive free admission every day. On the first Wednesday of each month, general admission is free for everyone; otherwise, admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $3 for Art Tours for Book Lovers group rate for reading groups. Museum Hours are Tuesday thru Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and holidays.

With the start of the big game hunting season, the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forests is reminding hunters and other Forest users that current weather conditions are causing roads and trails to become extremely wet and muddy. All Forest users will need to exercise caution while traveling. Driving on wet or muddy roads causes erosion, reduces water quality and increases hazardous conditions for the next user. Check with the local Ranger District offices to obtain the most current and accurate information about road and trail conditions. The Forest Service would like to remind all Forest users to follow “Tread Lightly” principles: travel only where motorized vehicles are permitted, stay on designated routes, and avoid streams, lakeshores, meadows, muddy roads, trails and steep hillsides. It is the responsibility of all hunters and other Forest users to obtain Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM’s), which show roads and trails that are designated open to motorized vehicles. However, Forest users should be aware that roads and trails could close early for safety reasons due to inclement weather conditions. Hunters and other users may be asked to leave these areas in the event of an early closure. Under no circumstances are motorized vehicles allowed off-designated roads and trails, not even to retrieve game.

EDEN www.valleymarketeden.com STORE HOURS: MON. - SAT. 7 AM - 10 PM SUNDAY 7 AM - 9 PM While October 11, 12 or 13 might be the best time this fall to have taken a young person pheasant or quail hunting in Utah, with the state hosting its annual youth pheasant and quail hunt on those days, the regular hunt opens November 1 To increase the chance young hunters take a bird, Division of Wildlife Resources biologists released more than 650 rooster pheasants before the state’s youth peasant and quail hunt designed for kids as old as 17 years. All of the birds will be released on state wildlife management areas and Walk-In Access areas. In addition to the pheasant releases, 40 young hunters in southeastern Utah had a chance to participate in special guided pheasant hunts. The hunts featured volunteer hunting guides and trained bird dogs. The free 2014 – 2015 Utah Upland Game and Turkey Guidebook is available at <www. wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks> If you haven’t completed a Hunter Education course, you still might be able to participate through Utah’s new Trial Hunting program. Visit www.wildlife.utah.gov/trial to learn more. After October 13, the youth pheasant and quail hunt closed, but will reopen for hunters of all ages on November 1. Finding a Place to Hunt - With the exception of Gambel’s quail in the Mohave Desert in southwestern Utah, most of Utah’s pheasant and quail hunting happens on private land. That doesn’t mean you should stay home, though— plenty of places are available to hunt. Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the DWR, says the state’s Walk-In Access areas are great places to consider. Walk-In Access areas are private property that’s open to Halloween Decorated Cupcakes 50c OFF with coupon From the Bakery Expires 11/1/14 WF Orange Danish w/icing 50c OFF with coupon Expires 11/1/14 From the Dairy Dept.

More information about the WIA areas, including which ones have pheasants and quail, is available at <www.wildlife.utah.gov/ walkinaccess> WMAs - The DWR manages several wildlife management areas and waterfowl management areas, also called WMAs, across Utah. All of these areas are open to the public, and many have pheasants on them. More information about the WMAs is available in the “Access to Wildlife Lands in Utah” book. You can get the free book at <www.wildlife.utah.gov/publications> Private Land - In addition to the WMAs and WIA areas, another option is getting written permission from a private landowner to hunt on his or her property. A permission card you can print off and take to the landowner is available at <www.wildlife.utah.gov/law/ permissioncard.html> Robinson encourages you to be polite and understanding if a landowner doesn’t give you access. “If you get access,” he says, “make sure you respect the landowner’s property by leaving it better than you found it.” Robinson says you should not wait until the morning of the hunt to try to get permission. “Get written permission as soon as you can.”. Finding Pheasants & Quail - Robinson says farm land in Box Elder, Weber, Davis, Utah, Tooele, Juab, Millard, Duchesne, and Uintah counties are among the best places in Utah to find pheasants. Many of the wetlands near Utah Lake and Great Salt Lake also hold good numbers of birds. For more information about the pheasant and quail hunt, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at 801-538-4700. Valley Sixth Grade Blood Drive Need to lose some weight before the holidays? One pint of blood equals 3,500 calories, so donate a pint and lose a pound! Where? When? Time? Who? 6pk. Hunters and other Forest users should always keep safety in mind: • Be adequately prepared for weather conditions to change. • Carry waterproof matches, extra food, water, first-aid-kit, flashlight, map, compass, whistle, extra clothing (rain gear-cold weather gear), and a cell phone if service is available. • Leave a trip itinerary with family or friends and have a check-in/check-out plan. • Remember to wear orange attire that is visible. • Watch out for additional foot traffic on roadways. Hunters will often use roads to walk to and from hunting areas and camps. • Carry in your vehicle: a tow strap; proper tire chains, and a shovel. Remember, visitors may be held responsible for any resource damage that occurs while removing a stuck vehicle. • Learn to recognize potentially dangerous situations and know when to turn around. If you are planning to use livestock on National Forest lands, remember that you are permitted to use only certified weed free straw, hay or pellets to help prevent the spread of Noxious Weeds. Check with your local Forest Service office that manages the area you are planning to visit to obtain current road, trail, campground and weather conditions before you leave.
