Bryce Valley Inn Night Maintenance needed Must have maintenance experience & knowledge. Must be a resident of Tropic Call for details 679-8811 or see Marie Clarification on Application of Livestock Grazing Regulations The Bureau of Land Management is announcing that, for purposes of legal clarification, the agency is applying livestock grazing regulations that were in effect prior to July 12, 2006, when the BLM published a set of grazing regulations that were intended to revise the existing rangeland regulations. Implementation of the 2006 regulations was subsequently enjoined by a ruling of the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho in Western Watersheds Project v. Kraayenbrink. In a statement posted today on its Internet Home Page (www. blm.gov), the BLM makes clear that the pre-July 12, 2006, livestock grazing regulations, with a limited exception, have been and will continue to be enforced on BLM-managed lands, and that any future changes to these regulations would occur through a new rulemaking effort. Publication of today’s announcement will not have any practical effect on the Bureau’s current management of livestock grazing on BLM-managed public lands, as none of the July 12, 2006, regulatory amendments were implemented because of the U.S. District Court’s orders enjoining the amendments and the subsequent decision by the U.S. Department of Justice not to appeal those orders. The BLM has been applying, and will continue to apply, the pre-July 12, 2006, regulations except for provisions that sought to allow “conservation use” of grazing permits. These provisions were struck down in 1999 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in the Public Lands Council v. Babbitt lawsuit.

DWR WANTS YOUR FISHING IDEAS Please share your ideas no later than June 1. Is there a fishing regulation in Utah that you’d like to see change? Or do you have an idea for a new rule? If so, biologists with the Division of Wildlife Resources want to hear from you. The biologists are already working on possible fishing changes for 2010. They need your ideas no later than June 1 to consider them for next year. “2010 is still months away, but our biologists need time to consider your idea and determine how practical and biologically sound it is,” says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR. “Please get your ideas to us by June 1.” After examining the ideas they receive, biologists will present their final recommendations to the public in September. “We don’t hear from as many individual anglers as we’d like to,” Cushing says. “We hope those who don’t belong to a fishing group will share their ideas with us too.” TOP 10 Ways To Conserve WATER #1 There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you. #2 When washing dishes by hand, don’t let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water. #3 Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings. #4 Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street. #5 Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month. #6 Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hardto-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips. #7 Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps. #8 Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste instead and save gallons every time. #9 Plant in the fall when conditions are cooler and rainfall is more plentiful. #10 For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain April 30, 2009 GARFIELD COUNTY JUNIOR LIVESTOCK Once again the committee for the the junior Garfield county junior livestock show would like to invite anyone that is interest in showing in the livestock show to join us.
