Wildland fire Local museums awarded grants continues to burn on Fish Creek drainage A fire continues to burn in Fish Creek drainage. Smoke and flames may be visible from North Skyline Drive and the Scofield area for the next few weeks depending on weather conditions and fire behavior. Fire activity and smoke are generally greatest during the late afternoons, when temperatures are highest and humidity is lowest. The fire is burning among a sub-alpine fir, spruce and aspen ecosystem. Fire managers review the progress of the fire and weather forecasts regularly to determine if suppression action is necessary to protect life and property. There are no road or other closures to the area at this time. This lightning caused fire is being managed to accomplish resource objectives as outlined in the Manti-La Sal’s Fire Management Plan. Under specific management guidelines, the plan allows naturally ignited fires to burn within designated Wildland fire use areas. Under these conditions, fire is allowed to play its natural role on the landscape. WFU accomplishes many resource benefits, according to the Forest Service. These benefits include the restoration and maintenance of healthy forests, rangelands and wetlands, as well as improvement to wildlife habitat for mule deer and elk, and forage for domestic livestock. WFU can also cut fire suppression costs and the dynamics of a wildland fire are reduced due to the reduction of hazardous fuels and keep firefighters available for priority fire suppression efforts elsewhere. Agencies that have been using WFU for a long time are showing a reduction in the risk of largescale fires. Lewis Jewelry Company, Inc.

Museums in Emery and Carbon counties were among those benefiting from the grants. The Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale received a grant for $6,000, as did the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum in Price. The 78 museums receiving the grants will use the money to improve displays, meet preservation and cataloging issues, address structural needs, and develop educational pro- grams that coincide with exhibitions. “These funds are very important to the preservation of Utah’s arts, scientific and geological discoveries, and historic artifacts. Simply put, museums are repositories for the stories of this land and those that have lived here,” said Margaret Hunt, Director of the Division of Arts and Museums. “OMS grants provide a small boost to museum budgets. This money allows Utah’s museums to take on the additional projects that improve the facilities and polish the exhibitions that convey their particular story, draw in new visitors, and give past guests a reason to come back to learn more.” The 2008 awards were distributed to museums located in 22 of 29 counties, including Box Elder, Cache, Carbon, Davis, Duchesne, Emery, Garfield, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, Salt Lake, San Juan, Sanpete, Sevier, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Washington, Wayne, and Weber.
