All eyes are on the national stage as the impending presidential election is days away. Park City High School fosters a community of different political views with many students closely following this highstakes election even though only a small percentage of seniors are able to vote. Leading up to Election Day on Tuesday, students expressed a range of opinions about the contest. One student eager to see the outcome is Jonathan Mount. He voted in the election because he believes that elections affect everybody. “It’s a little bit stressful, thinking about how influential the whole election is,” Mount said. “It’s a lot, just like this year has been.” The election has even earned the attention of students who don’t usually follow politics, such as senior Lexie Hudgens, who felt it was important to cast a ballot. She voted for Joe Biden INTERMOUNTAIN MORTGAGE COMPANY peaceful transfer of power.” Rothchild’s biggest concern is the possible effects the election may have in the future for him and others. “Climate change will definitely affect our generation,” he said. “But separate from that is minority rights, women’s rights, and LGBTQ-plus rights that affect everybody.” Max O’Reilly is another student at PCHS who cannot vote this year. He said it is frustrating not to have a say in the outcome. “As someone who can’t vote, I’m just trying to get used to the idea that I have little to no control over what happens in the election, and that I shouldn’t let the results of it overly harm my actions and feelings,” O’Reilly said. This range of emotions at PCHS is representative of the stakes of election. As the ballots are cast, students have expressed stress and worry about the outcome. And some, like O’Reilly, are eager for it all to be over. “I truly just cannot wait for it to be over — COVID has made it a nightmare with the battle of in-person voting versus mail-in ballots, the debates have been an absolute mess, and the Biden versus Trump dynamic has created a generally toxic environment,” he said.

While Mount and Hudgens were able to vote, there is a large percentage of the student body that isn’t able to. For many of those students, clubs at the school provide a forum to voice their political opinions. The PCHS chapter of Turning Point USA, a right-leaning group that aims to promote conservative ideas among young people, is one such club. Another is the school’s March For Our Lives club, which is a student-led demonstration group in support of legislation to prevent gun violence. Senior Lance Rothchild has many strong views on the election. Although he is unable to vote this year, he has major concerns. “I’m really worried about this election,” said Rothchild, who added that he would vote for Biden and Harris. “I worry this is a critical election, especially because we have to ensure the results of the election are respected, because there may not be a ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Environmentalists have reached an agreement with federal land and wildlife managers that will clear the way for forest restoration efforts to resume in the Southwest. A federal court had issued an injunction last year that limited timber activities and restoration projects on national forest lands in New Mexico and Arizona pending the outcome of a legal battle over the threatened Mexican spotted owl. WildEarth Guardians had accused the U.S. Forest Service of failing to comply with the Endangered Species Act by not regularly monitoring the owl population. Under the agreement announced Tuesday, federal managers will regularly track population trends through 2025. Surveys also will be done prior to ground-disturbing activities and known owl habitat will be protected. The agreement, which still must be approved by a federal judge, will apply to all 11 national forests in the two states. “This agreement provides a framework for the Forest Service to better protect national forests and Mexican spotted owls,” John Horning, the group’s executive director, said in a statement. “By agreeing to rigorously monitor species and track habitats, this management framework could be a national model for the Forest Service to protect and recover threatened and endangered species.” Acting Regional Forester Sandy Watts said the agreement along with the creation of the Mexican spotted owl leadership forum will increase communication, transparency and coordination when it comes to forest health and wildlife conservation projects. Staff with the regional office will work with local businesses on plans to resume activities on national forest lands. “The affected forests are eager to resume work on the ground, demonstrating our commitment to conducting sustainable restoration projects in a way that benefits all,” Watts said. The agreement contains several provisions, including securing funding for population monitoring and conducting research to better understand the effects of thinning and prescribed burning on owl populations. Data also will be shared to boost conservation of the species. The resolution comes after months of negotiations. It follows another agreement that was reached over the summer with the Center for Biological Diversity that included a set of recommendations and other provisions aimed at protecting the owl while allowing forest thinning projects to move forward. Owl habitat represents about 6% of the more than 1,400 square miles of forest that are undergoing thinning and restoration treatments in the southwest U.S., according to environmentalists. While the injunction was in place, New Mexico state agencies, local communities and others worked to find other projects for the contractors that were idled by the court’s action. Alternative wood supplies also were found for about three-quarters of manufacturers and commercial firewood operators. New Mexico State Forester Laura McCarthy said the cooperation over the last year kept the injunction from devastating New Mexico’s forest sector and restoration economy while the parties negotiated. First listed as threatened in the U.S. in 1993, the Mexican spotted owl is found in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, parts of West Texas and Mexico.
