The June 6 Monticello Parks & Beautifi cation Fundraising Gala, held at the New Hideout Com-

munity Center, was a great success. The 150+ guests enjoyed a festive evening of music, art,

great food, and a lively silent auction. Rumor has it that the Gala may become an every “odd

A host of candidates have applied to serve as City Council members in Monti-cello and Blanding. In fact, so many candidates regis-tered that a primary elec-tion will need to be held in both communities to pare the candidate list.

The fi ling period closed on Monday, June 8. The general election will be held in November, 2015.

In Monticello, eight can-didates fi led to fi ll three available seats on the council.

The candidates in Mon-ticello include Chris Baird, Nathan Chamberlain, Sar-ah English, Eric George, Staci Lou Hoggard, Blaine Nebeker, Sanford Randall, and Mike Thomason.

Tammy Gallegos, direc-tor of the San Juan County Aging Programs, received an amended contract for one of the programs she administers for the coun-ty. It was approved at the June 9 meeting of the San Juan County Commission.

The amendment is to provide an additional $22,000 to the contract. This seemed to be good news and was accepted by the unanimous approval of the commission.

Commissioners con-vened a meeting of the San Juan County Board of Equalization (BoE) to con-

sider a request by Mike Roring regarding a rent-al property in Bluff. Half of the property is used as rental apartments and will be taxed with a pri-mary residence exclusion, with the change being made retroactive to the 2013 tax year.

The apartments were previously taxed as a sec-ondary residence, assum-ing the renters have other primary residences. Coun-ty Assessor Shelby Seely recommended the change because it would require constant paperwork to confi rm that the renters have a primary residence elsewhere.

A San Juan Transporta-

tion Special Service Dis-trict resolution regarding mineral lease revenues, which needed a signature from the Commission, was presented. The transpor-tation district needed doc-umentation that revenues will be unrestricted and used to repay its outstand-ing bonds. This is a stan-dard procedure as the com-mission signed the previ-ous resolution just a few months ago.

The commissioners ap-proved six building per-mits, including homes in La Sal and Bluff, a new shop, a laundry room, and closing in a carport to add a studio.

Bylaws proposed at a

work meeting the previous week by Blaine Nebeker were approved by the com-mission, with a change that the meetings be con-ducted “in an orderly man-ner” and not according to strict Roberts Rules of Or-der.

Human Resources Man-ager Crystal Holt present-ed one new hire for approv-al by the commission. Jac-queline Latham will fi ll a full time nursing position with the San Juan Public Health District.

Nick Sandberg notifi ed the commission that Mon-trose County, CO is work-ing to improve tourism in their county by promoting jeep and ATV tours. Mon-trose County identifi ed old mining roads and adjoin-ing county roads which they plan to use in the pro-motions.

The tours could enter San Juan County north of Buckeye Reservoir. Mon-trose County representa-tives asked if San Juan County is interested in participating and devel-oping routes for the same type of activities in Utah.

Sandberg told Commis-sioners that Mark Ward, of the Utah Association of Counties (UAC), is will-ing to help write the lands bill proposal for San Juan County. His fee is $9,000.

Commissioners autho-rized Ward to proceed. They added that it could be especially helpful if Ward is also writing pro-posals for other counties.

15 vie for seats on area city councils

by Roma Young_______________Staff writer

Two people addressed the Monticello City Council as part of their bi-monthly meeting on June 9. Peter Haney informed the coun-cil that San Juan Hospital was awarded a grant in Oc-tober, 2014 to enable test-ing and treatment of can-cer for any county resident who qualifi es for Down Winder services.

Haney works with the Victims of Mill Tailings Exposure (VMTE) and the Radiation Exposure Act. He asked that city fathers “help get the word out” about the availability of local services. He added that the available services are underutilized and the program will end in 2022.

Haney presented the councilmen with a bro-chure, which he encour-aged them to share. City Recorder Cindi Holyoak will put the brochure on the city Facebook page. The city also recommended that Haney have the San Juan Hospital share the brochure on their website.

Later, Tom Wigginton asked about a broken stop sign on the corner of Main Street and 200 South near the Post Offi ce. The sign is not secured and tends to blow with the wind. As a result, it is often not vis-ible to persons traveling west on 200 South and poses an accident risk.

Wigginton said a trav-eler might not see the sign and not stop before traveling across the busy Main Street. Councilman George Rice was assigned to address the issue imme-

diately and thanked Wig-ginton for bringing it to the council’s attention.

The lack of signage at the Hideout Community Center was also discussed. The parking lot layout was changed from the original plan. As a result, signs are late being installed. The signs have been or-dered and will be installed as soon as they arrive.

There are arrows and parking places painted on the parking lot, but the signs will be visible from a distance and will be help-ful in keeping things orga-nized and accident-free.

The Council also dis-cussed an opportunity to purchase water rights in Spring Creek. Public Works Director Nathan Langston was approached by several Spring Creek water-rights holders. They have expressed an interest in selling their rights.

The council asked Langs-ton to proceed with the purchase of a monitoring system for Spring Creek, which will allow them to make an informed decision if the purchase becomes a real possibility. The cost of the approved system is approximately $4,200.

The council unanimous-ly approved a resolution on House Bill 362. The councilmen expressed a desire to give residents an opportunity to vote on a proposed local tax option associated with the bill.

The council adopted amendments to the 2014-2015 budget, which will end on the last day of June, and adopted the fi nal bud-get for 2015-2016, which will begin on July 1.

In Blanding, seven can-didates also fi led to fi ll three open positions.

The candidates in Blan-

ding include Trent Her-ring, Ruth Johnson, Trav-is Whatcott, Emil Romero, K.D. Perkins, Trevor Ols-en and incumbent Joe B. Lyman.

The three available seats are currently held by Kelly Laws, Joe B. Lyman, and David Johnson.

There will be a primary in Blanding as well unless a candidate withdraws.

TOURNAMENTJ U N E 1 3 - 1 4

Sometimes when it is a short news week, I re-sort to writing about the weather. Ma Nature is al-ways pulling something out of her bag of tricks to keep us on our toes. This week, the weath-er is the news.

Last Tuesday (June 10) La Sal received nearly an inch of rain (.93”) in two storms – one in the wee hours of the morning and a second in late after-noon.

The next day we received nearly half an inch of rain (.45”). My neighbor Ruthie called and said, “you gotta go look at the fl oods com-ing out of Brown’s Hole and at La Sal Junction.”

So, we hopped in our chit-ty and went, and the wa-ter was coming down from The Mountain and roaring down country. There was evidence of fl ooding and indications of the height of the water everywhere.

Ruthie also called me to tell me of heroes in our midst. The story (second hand) goes like this.

As the fl ooding hit the lower environs of La Sal – the worst of which is of-ten across the road from the LDS church, one of our long time residents and senior citizen was out with shovel in hand direct-ing the waters away from

his home. In the course of doing

this, he found himself fall-en into a morass that had formed due to the fl ood-ing. (If you paid attention to last week’s crossword

in the SJR, you’ll know a morass is a bog).

Said senior was unable to extri-cate himself from

his predicament. Nor was his wife able to dislodge him from the mud and wa-ter.

About this time, our two heroes were driving past and saw the trouble. They stopped immediately and bailed out of their pick-up and were successful in dislodging Senior from his watery hole.

This was all witnessed by the next door neigh-bor, Steve DK. He was very impressed by the ac-tions of these two young men – who happened to be dressed in their daily uni-form of white shirt and tie – but still without thought jumped in to rescue a man in distress.

I don’t know the names of the two rescuers for sure, but they both have the same fi rst name: El-der. Steve DK was ada-mant that these two young missionaries were heroes and need recognition as such.

Meanwhile, Steve was rescuing chickens and mucking mud out of his hen house. Yes, the fl oods they did come. It was an exciting few days. Rain in the desert is always that way.

Folks ask me about the size of La Sal. It depends on how wide you draw the boundary circle. I usually tell them it is between 200 – 300 people. And after be-ing in the more populat-ed areas of our state and nation, I think that is the perfect size of community in which to live.

Drawing the circle wide and encompassing the Three Step area to in-clude Mike and Joan Wil-cox, who own and operate a ranch at Three Step, we get to include them in our Northern News of Sierra La Sal.

Actually, Mike is the one who refers to our com-munity as Sierra La Sal, though the origin of the name goes back to early settlers of the area. It has a nice, romantic ring to it.

Mike and Joan were recent recipients of the “Rancher of the Year” award from the San Juan County Soil Conservation District. They received recognition at a recent cookout where they were given a nice plaque.

They have put in a new livestock watering system on their place, utilizing oversized tires as water-

ing troughs. They’ve also done some sagebrush con-trol and reseeding among other things.

Changing of the guard. I worry that sometimes this column sometimes sounds more like the La Sal Branch LDS news but in truth it is probably the largest formal and most active organization in our community.

Jim Blankenagel (aka Jam B) has served as Branch President for the last three years, but he was released from that duty last Sunday. (No, that was not a bright light shining from La Sal Sun-day; it was the refl ection of the big grin on Jam B’s face).

He and his better half, Loris, will be heading to Kirtland, OH in September to serve a 23-month mis-sion for the LDS Church. Also released as his coun-cilors were Todd Bristol and Nathan Freestone.

Called to take over the reigns of leadership was Shane Deeter. His council-ors are Nathan Freestone (how is that for a father-in-law, son-in-law rela-tionship) and Robert Blan-kenagel (who is Shane’s former scoutmaster). The trio will now lead the con-gregation for the next few years.

Well, it will soon be of-fi cially summer according to the calendar. Time to go to The Mountain.

And the rains did come

A meeting of the Bland-ing City Council was held on June 9 with no pub-lic comments. All month-ly reports from the various departments indicate that the city is right on track as it ends the fi scal year 2014-2015 on June 30.

Mayor Calvin Balch gave a training presenta-tion to the council from the Utah Code regarding open and public meetings. The fi ve pages of code were in-cluded in a packet for the council. The discussion in-cluded what is the “letter of the law” and the “spir-it of the law”, which seems to be held by the council-men as the more impor-tant part of the code.

The city had seven peo-ple register for election to the city council. This will require a primary election to be held. Whether it will be a mail-only election or at the polls has not yet been determined.

The Blanding council approved the 2015-2016 budget. This budget will go into effect on July 1.

City Attorney Kendall Laws reviewed an agree-ment with Police Chief

Lloyd Watkins, which had been discussed at a previ-ous meeting. The agree-ment was amended and unanimously accepted by the council.

A group in charge of the Blanding Car Show pro-posed that the venue for the show be changed this year. They would like to hold the car show on the lawn where the old city swimming pool was housed. The site change was approved by the coun-cil.

At the May 26 council meeting, a list of surplus vehicles were approved to be sold. In the process of preparing for the sale, city employees discovered a 2003 Ford Explorer which was felt to fi t the criteria to be included in the sale. The vehicle specifi cations were considered by the council, and it will be in-cluded in the sale.

It was reported that the festivities for the Fourth of July celebration are progressing and going ac-cording to plan. See the ad on page 9 for a schedule of events.

The winter rush is fi nal-ly over for the staff of coun-ty economic development. Twelve major consumer and trade shows were attended by the department between January 2 and mid-June, representing a good deal of travel away from home and family for all the staff and volunteers.

Consumer shows are those open to the gener-al public; trade shows are held for travel agents, tour operator, and others in the tourism industry. At-tendance at shows allows the staff to directly con-tact both consumers where questions are answered and itineraries are solidi-fi ed as well as building per-sonal relationships with representative of the tour-ism industry who bring tours and individual visi-tors to our area.

The fi rst consumer show, the St. George Out-

door Show in January, was staffed by Pam Hanson, As-sistant Director, who does not recommend attending next year due to low atten-dance.

The International Sports-man’s Expo, held in Sacra-mento, CA also in Janu-ary, was staffed coopera-tively by San Juan, Grand, and Emery counties. Han-son’s recommendation was to continue with this show, as it is always very well at-tended.

Volunteers worked the next show in Quartz-site Sports, Vacation, and RV Show in Quartzsite, AZ. Hanson trained and worked with the volunteers who she says did a great job of representing the County and have expressed an in-terest in working the show again next year.

She said attendance was good, mostly snowbirds from throughout the coun-

try. She believes this show is a great opportunity to make contact with those folks, many of whom travel through this area on their way home in the spring.

The next show took Char-lie DeLorme, Director of the department, south and east to Houston, TX and the Houston Travel Show at the end of January as a cooperative effort with the Utah Association of Desti-nation Marketing Organi-zations (UADMO).

DeLorme does not rec-ommend attending this show in the future as it was poorly organized. He rec-ommended instead return-ing to the Houston Home and Garden Show that San Juan County has attended for several years.

Next up was the Mur-dock Travel Show which closed out January. Held in Sandy, UT, the show is well attended and Alli-son Yamamoto-Sparks, the staff member who worked the show, recommended future attendance.

February saw the staff traveling to the San Fran-cisco Bay Area Adventure and Travel Expo again in cooperation with Grand County. DeLorme says it was well attended and ex-tremely busy. He recom-mends continuing atten-dance at this show.

Following hard on the California show was the GoWest Summit, a travel trade venue that attracts suppliers west of the Mis-sissippi as well as interna-tional buyers.

GoWest has been a sta-ple for the department for many years and contin-ues to be a must-do on the trade show circuit.

Mid-month saw Han-son traveling to the To-ronto Outdoor Adventure and Travel Show in Toron-to, Canada. Another coop-erative effort with UAD-MO, the show opened a new market for San Juan County.

Hanson believes the show as well worth the effort, es-pecially as their booth was situated beside Southeast Tours where a large screen TV played video of tour op-portunities that included the Mighty Five from Utah - the fi ve National Parks in southern Utah. She rec-ommends attending this show again next year.

Hanson also traveled south to the San Antonio Home and Garden Show in San Antonio, TX, where she was pleased with the numbers of people attend-ing and the activity at the San Juan County booth; she recommends continu-ing with this show.

February ended with the Big Outdoor Expo in Pro-vo, UT, again in coopera-tion with Grand County. Yamamoto-Sparks says al-though the show was new this year, the attendance was good, and she feels it should remain on the cal-endar.

March opened with the Vancouver Outdoor Ad-venture and Travel Show, another co-op with UAD-MO. This show has been paired with golf vendors in the past, but this year bi-cycles were a theme at the show, so there were many new attendees.

Hanson believes the Ca-nadian market is good for the county and recom-mends continuing with this show.

Next, the Washington DC Adventure and Trav-el Expo was attended by Advisory Council member Rick Reeb along with his wife, Diana, together with staff from the Moab Area Travel Council.

The show was well at-tended with engaged trav-elers who were interested in discussing Utah. Reeb recommends keeping this show on the list.

To wrap up the month, Hanson, along with Lynne Shumway of the Blan-ding Visitor Center, at-tended the International Sportsman’s Expo in San-dy, UT where the focus is very heavy in ATV trailrid-ing. Since the attendees at ISE Sandy are mostly from the Wasatch Front and fall into the tank-away market, this show has always been a very successful show for the county.

Also in March, DeLo-rme attended Interna-tional Travel Berlin, one of the largest travel trade shows in the world with over 100,000 attendees fol-lowed by Discover USA It-aly. He also traveled with the Utah Offi ce of Tour-ism as a travel delegate to sales missions in France and the Netherlands, sup-porting the new non-stop fl ight from Amsterdam to Salt Lake City.

Travel trade shows differ from consumer shows in that the days are typically 14-16 hours with individ-ual meetings throughout the day followed by eve-ning events where market-ing continues. Often, the delegates present training programs for travel agents and tour operators.

June saw an end to the seasonal show sched-ule with IPW in Orlando, FL. Ronnie Baird, Advi-sory Council Chair, Coun-cil Member Cindy Tumeh, and Director DeLorme all attended IPW, the largest travel trade show in the USA where visits with rep-resentatives of the travel trade is pre-scheduled.

It is worth noting that when DeLorme began mar-keting San Juan County at IPW over seven years ago, he had three pre-scheduled meetings and the staff cir-culated on the fl oor distrib-uting Utahs’ Canyon Coun-

try information in a less formal manner. This year he met with the allowable 44 trade representatives.

Suggestions were made for other shows in the fu-ture such as an Adventure and Gear Expo in Sandy, UT; San Diego and Long Beach, CA; Arizona; and other Canadian venues.

Advisory Council mem-ber Harold Lyman said Canadians are one of the groups they see most at the Blanding Visitor Cen-ter and that the Utah Business Economic Report shows Canada is by far Utah’s best international market with $42 million in spending last year.

Return on Investment is always a concern to the di-rector and staff. DeLorme pointed out that the Tour-ism Intelligence Group has been tracking www.utah-scanyoncountry.com andthe offi ce’s Google ads to determine if there is a re-sponse from geographical areas where the county at-tended shows.

Data is collected before the show, during in-mar-ket radio and social media advertising leading up to a show, and again after the show. The study is ongo-ing but the results over the last two years have been the most targeted market-ing effort ever for the de-partment.

In other business, De-Lorme explained that the Utah Offi ce of Tourism is now offering co-op funding for trade show attendance and the council should con-sider increasing the size of the county booth at some shows as well as having council members attend.

Discussions will be ongo-ing with Blanding, Bluff, and Monticello. Re-de-sign of some of the materi-al used at shows was dis-cussed with new ideas pre-sented.

DeLorme told the council that they continue to use Google Adwords and Face-book in marketing efforts as well as traditional mag-azine and newspaper ad-vertising.

The next Advisory Coun-cil meeting will be held on Thursday, August 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Gould-ings Lodge in Monument Valley.

I hate ruts; the ones in the road that do a number on tires; those that keep me from ex-ploring a trail a l t o g e t h e r ; most espe-cially when it comes to cooking.

I love va-riety. It is the spice of life; all those tastes, tex-tures, scents and eye can-dy. So, it’s no wonder that I have a huge selec-tion of cook-books taking up space in their own bookcase.

As soon as I moved to Monticello, I began pur-chasing cookbooks on Utah and the other states of the Four Corners; Na-tive American, Mexican and Southwestern joined the ensemble. In fact, I just ordered four more cookbooks!

Blue corn, now this is something I’ve not seen before. Oh yes, in the fall putting up dried corn-stalks and ears of multi-colored Indian corn was a tradition, but blue corn?

Thumbing through my Native American cook-books, not only did I fi nd several recipes, but knowledge on the grind-ing process itself. No, this isn’t something I’m going to try; that’s what Blue Mountain Meats here in Monticello is for, to provide me with my needs, like blue corn fl our. Doesn’t mean I won’t be sharing the information with you, though.

The fi rst book I used for my experimenting was Hopi Cookery by Juani-ta Tiger Kavena; “Blue Cornmeal Hotcakes”, page 19. She explains there are two methods of dry-ing corn in the Hopi cul-ture; one is simply stack-ing the ears on shelves, in a dry area, occasion-ally turning them until all the moisture is drawn out from the kernels. The kernels are removed and processed using tradition-al grinding stones.

The second method is to bake the corn on the cobs in a mud enclosed ground oven which keeps the steam inside, produc-ing sweeter corn. The steamed cobs are hung to dry; the kernels eventual-ly ground as fl our or with a coarser texture for vari-ous recipes.

Blue Cornmeal Hotcakes

Ingredients:1 cup blue cornmeal1 Tbsp. baking powder1 tsp. salt1 Tbsp. sugar3 Tbsp. melted shorten-

ing2 eggs, beaten1 cup milk (or ¼ cup

p o w d e r e d plus 1+1/4 cups water)Preparations:

In a large mixing bowl, c o m b i n e dry ingredi-ents (includ-ing powdered milk if using it); stir.

Add short-ening, eggs (water if us-ing); mix well.

Drop by s p o o n f u l on lightly

greased griddle; turning once as cakes brown.

Makes 12 three-inch cakes.

The batter is thin and runny, much like a crepe batter; I was worried I’d not followed the directions or ingredient amounts correctly.

However, my husband and I devoured these pan-cakes; thin, light, crispy edges with a slight chewi-ness; minimal grainy tex-ture, and they melted in the mouth.

The corn fl avor was not strong, defi nitely deli-cious with the added fl a-vors of butter, maple syr-up or wild huckleberry syrup.

My next trial recipe came from Healthy Tradi-tions: Recipes of Our An-cestors by Janice Goodwin and Judy Hall.

It included the use of all-purpose white fl our and comes from the Nava-jo Nation. Now my friend down in Monument Val-ley told me that “ashes” may be mixed in with the blue corn fl our and is re-lated to the time of the “Long Walks”.Pancake/Griddle Cake

Ingredients:2 1/2 cups blue cornmeal 1 tsp. salt1/2 cup white enriched

fl our 1 cup water1 1/2 cup canned milk 1 tsp. baking powder

Preparation:Mix the blue cornmeal,

salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl.

Mix water and milk to-gether. Add the liquid in-gredients to the dry ingre-dients; mix together but don’t over mix.

Grease a large skillet and heat. Pour batter on skillet to make a very thin pancake; cook until brown on both sides.

Makes 10 pancakesThis batter is thick-

er than the Hopi recipe, much like any traditional pancake recipe; the pan-cakes were thicker, dense, and took longer to brown on both sides.

The taste of the white fl our was strong, and we simply missed the light fl avor of the blue corn. Comparing the two styles, we could defi nitely say that the Hopi won this round of the recipe chal-lenge.

Variety, experiment-ing with recipes and food items from other cultures; this is what makes cook-ing an adventure!

Jason Ray Workman Memorial Ride

4TH ANNUAL

During the spring of 2014, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Offi -cers began investigating the unlawful taking of a trophy buck in San Juan County.

An interview with Tim-othy Riffey, a San Juan County resident, revealed that he had been given highly-sought-after Elk

Ridge limited entry deer permits from 2010-2012. Offi cers believe Derren Klein and John Peterson obtained the permits for Riffey, who qualifi ed for a Special Season Extension for Disabled Persons, al-lowing them to hunt dur-ing the rut when big bucks are more visible.

In the interview, Riffey explained that he was only present during the hunts to cover the permits in case they were checked by wildlife offi cers. Riffey also told investigators he does not own fi rearms and had never hunted big game in Utah prior to 2010.

In November of 2011, a 35-inch trophy buck was illegally killed us-ing Riffey’s permit. Klein, John and James Peter-son, and Riffey all were eventually charged with third degree felony Wan-ton Destruction of Protect-ed Wildlife in the case.

Riffey was also charged with third degree felo-ny Obstruction of Justice. Klein and Riffey eventual-ly pleaded guilty to class A misdemeanor Wanton Destruction of Protected Wildlife.

During the investiga-tion, another incident was discovered involving three of the same individuals. In September of 2011, John Peterson drew a limited entry San Juan bull elk permit. He was aided dur-ing the hunt by James Pe-terson, Klein, and Mason Latham.

John Peterson shot and killed a 6x7 trophy bull on Elk Ridge and abandoned it because the antlers were not large enough. Peterson then killed a 380-inch tro-phy bull several days later on the Abajo Mountains.

John and James Pe-terson, Klein and Mason Latham all were charged with third degree felo-ny Wanton Destruction of Protected Wildlife.

John and James Peter-son and Klein all plead-ed to class A misdemean-or Wanton Destruction of Protected Wildlife. Latham pleaded guilty to class B misdemeanor Un-lawful Taking of Protected Wildlife.

The fi nes and restitu-tion for both cases totaled $20,500. The men involved face the potential loss of hunting privileges for 10 to 20 years.

Citizen support and as-sistance is the key to any successful law enforcement program. Those with infor-mation regarding wildlife offenses are encouraged to contact the UTIP Hotline at 1-800-662-3337 or any Division of Wildlife Re-sources offi ce.

Rewards are available for information that leads to the successful prosecu-tion of wildlife crimes. Re-quests for confi dentiality or anonymity are respect-ed.

The rest of the storyDear family, friends and neighbors:

Our daughter, Susan, wrote a “thank you” letter for the newspaper soon after our “mir-acle with Doug”, but it didn’t end there, and I’d like to share the rest of it with you.

After receiving CPR for 30 to 40 minutes at home, Doug was rushed to the emer-gency room at San Juan Hospital. The staff there was able to continue the CPR until they fi nally found a pulse and heartbeat. Ricky called the house and told my daugh-ters, Susan and Jackie, and me and we raced to the hospital. They were preparing Doug for transfer to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, CO.

Rick drove himself and me over there also. When I got to the hospital, a doctor was waiting and asked me how long I wanted to leave Doug on life support, which startled me. I said until he goes home with me! He said, “You know he only has an 85 percent chance of being brain dead don’t you?” I tried to ignore him.

They took him into surgery and put a stint in his heart where they had found a blockage. The next day, one of his lungs collapsed. They took him back to surgery, cleaned out his lung and got things going again.

Two days later, he got pneumonia. Every day seemed to bring new worries. Then he developed carbon dioxide poisoning because he wasn’t breathing right. Finally after four weeks, the doctor found that Doug’s kidneys weren’t working right, so we agreed to dialysis. He went on this for another week. By this time, he had been there fi ve weeks and was showing slow, but steady improvement. All of the third fl oor doctors and nurses were calling him, “Mr. Miracle”. We were fi nally able to bring him home.

I am so grateful for the many prayers and good wishes we all received. I know they are what saved him. For the fi rst two weeks of his stay, I never received any encour-aging words, saying he was going to make it.

Thank you all so much for your support, prayers, calls, cards and fl owers. I know Heavenly Father raised His arms and said, “Okay, okay enough prayers, I’m giving him back to you.” And He did. I want to thank all of you for your love and encouragement.

Most of all I want to thank my brother, Cliff, for being there at the right time. I wouldn’t have known what to do without him. I also thank my son, Rick, who took over with the EMT’s giving him CPR. Thanks also to Rett Adair for his efforts in help-ing Rick with the CPR. He just kept working and working and did not give up. The two of them worked way longer than most normal EMT’s. Doug ended up with 13 bro-ken ribs and a broken sternum, which shows how amazing their efforts were.

My children and their spouses were all wonderful. They traveled many miles back and forth, so I wouldn’t be alone and to show love and encouragement to him. Thank you all so very much: Susan and Roy, Jackie and Mike, (these two couples handled all of the phone calls and reports of progress to our Facebook friends) Brad and Cyndi, Todd and Roxanne, Rick and Shelby, all of the grandchildren, Paula and Teresa from La Sal and our brothers and sister and families.

We know Heavenly Father granted us a miracle. We know He lives, He loves us, and He answers our prayers. For all of you who have not found your Father in Heav-en, know He is always there for you. Trust in Him and try to live right. Again, my love to all, our Stake President Boyle who traveled over to see him with his wife, Cassie, our Bishop and his wife, Amy, the Relief Society and members of our ward.

May our Father in Heaven bless you all.Much love, Colleen and Doug Eldredge

Cultural resources a problem for San Juan CountyDear Editor:

Most of us enjoy the cultural resources found so abundantly here in San Juan Coun-ty, but they are slowly strangling us as well. The National Historic Preservation Act provides a layer of protection for that resource that trumps all other uses. This is both good and bad. We all want to maintain the opportunity to enjoy these sites but at the same time, the protection is causing us to lose uses that could possibly gener-ate more jobs and economic growth. When I ask myself, “What do cultural resources do for me?” the only answer I get is that it serves my curiosity. When I measure that up against the economic loss that may be generated, it doesn’t seem quite right.

The problem continues to grow. A federal judge recently ruled that the Richfi eld BLM’s 2008 Resource Management Plan failed to provide that all existing roads would be inventoried for cultural resources. He is giving BLM three years to complete the in-ventory of all the roads in their area for cultural resources. The same ruling will ap-ply here in San Juan County. That means the entire County road System, both B and D roads, must be cleared for cultural resources. B roads are the roads that the County maintains on a regular basis. All other roads are D roads and probably are never main-tained. San Juan County has thousands of miles of roads in their road system.

BLM will be responsible for completing the inventory, and it will be very expen-sive. It is very unlikely that BLM will fi nd the funding to complete the inventory in the three-year period allowed by the judge. That means BLM may be forced to close roads not cleared. To further complicate this problem, we already know that many of the existing roads in the County have cultural sites in them. Eliminating the impacts to these sites will be expensive. How will that process be funded? If these sites are not somehow resolved, the roads may be closed. I see this required inventory as having a serious impact on the residents and economy of San Juan County.

Many special interest groups, striving for more wilderness in our County, are using the National Historic Preservation Act to help eliminate any development opportuni-ties that may come our way. Under a lot of pressure from these groups, archaeologists and BLM may be qualifying too many isolated pot shard and rock chip fi nds as meet-ing the criteria to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places require protec-tion. The problem is that archaeologists make the call as to what sites qualify for the Historic Register, and we are not qualifi ed to challenge those decisions.

I recognized that cultural resources have a positive and benefi cial effect on the County, but I also see a negative side that is growing stronger. In order for San Juan County to grow, we must, somehow, meet the challenge of fi nding the middle of the road in dealing with this problem.

Cancellation - MHS Alumni RoundupDear Editor:

Preparations for the MHS Alumni Quinquennial Roundup to be held this coming July 24-25 began 18 months ago. Class Representatives for the 85 classes from 1929 to 2014 were in place to update their respective class rosters as well as their class de-ceased rosters. It was anticipated that the promotional fl yers we developed for this July Roundup would be sent to all classmates for whom class representatives have current US mail or email addresses. However, we discovered in May that many of these class representatives had not updated their rosters nor had they sent their classmates the fl yers, which gave all details of the Roundup.

By this time in 2011 when we held our last Roundup, we had over 150 paid reserva-tions, so we knew we could meet the projected expenses from our providers. With only 21 paid reservations representing only 13 MHS Alumni, we could see that we were in trouble with our fi nancial needs for this event.

On Monday, June 8 we decided to cancel the Roundup. Almost immediately we started receiving phone calls, emails and a surge of interest that had not manifested itself before. Therefore, we developed a fi ve-point memo titled:

MHS Buckaroo Alumni - PROPOSALS FOR CONTINUITY AND INCLUSION:1) Each Alumnus to pay an Annual Membership Fee of $20 to help assure adequate

funds to maintain the organization and to run Alumni Events annually as well as, funds permitting, make a meaningful contribution to MHS each year. Annual Mem-bership Dues to begin 2015 and payable annually in favor of: MHS Buckaroo Alumni. Alumni attending annual events who have not paid their annual membership dues to be charged $40 to attend.

2) Make MHS Homecoming the year-in, year-out, annual MHS Alumni Event. This will provide a venue and reason for Alumni to “come back home” annually to partici-pate in Homecoming Events and have an Annual Alumni Roundup which will include fellowship at the high school (reception or open house) with entertainment and re-freshments, an Annual Memorial Program to honor deceased Buckaroos and attend all MHS Homecoming events: Parade, football game, dance, etc.

3) Have each Class Representative maintain an on-going, updated Class Roster of all classmates who ever attended MHS beginning seventh grade through 12th grade. This Class Roster to include: Name used at MHS, married name, spouse name, US mail address & email address, and contact phone numbers. Each Class Rep to be re-imbursed by the Alumni Association for any out-of-pocket expenses such as printing, postage, etc.

4) Each Class Rep to maintain an on-going Class Deceased Roster to include: Name, date and place of birth, date and place of death, and place of interment or location/dis-position of ashes if cremation elected.

5) MHS Buckaroo Alumni Association organization to be restructured to include: Executive Committee: President, Executive VP, Secretary and Treasurer. These four positions to serve on the Board of Directors which will also include: Generational VPs: 20s and 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s – they will coordinate the efforts of the Class Reps from 1929 to the current year and help facilitate communi-cation with alumni in their assigned generation. These 13 positions to comprise the Board of Directors, which will govern and set policy.

The Executive Committee to handle the day-to-day management of the Association. The Alumni Association will maintain additional Rosters: All Inclusive ABC, Faculty,

All Inclusive Deceased Buckaroos, and a Master Class Roster for each of the classes from 1929 to the present year - details to be supplied by the Class Reps on an on-going basis.

We anticipate that this new MHS Buckaroo Alumni Association procedure will be initiated this year with Association Memberships fees being submitted immedi-ately and the fi rst big event being at MHS Homecoming this Fall.

Federal judge issues BLM orderRICHFIELD – Offi cials now have a clearer view of how a ruling issued by federal Judge Dale Kimball in November 2013 will affect ATV access, but questions still remain. Last week, Kimball signed a decision and order that gives Richfi eld BLM offi ce three years to complete an extensive review of some 4,000 miles of trails. The goal of the review is to provide evidence as to whether or not ATV trails hurt cultural resources and wild-life habitat. The 2013 ruling was the result of a challenge to the BLM’s Richfi eld fi eld offi ce’s resource management plan. Kimball’s ruling threw the plan for management of 2.1 million acres administered by the Richfi eld offi ce into question – specifi cally the por-tion of it related to motorized access. The original plan was adopted by the Richfi eld of-fi ce in 2008, but challenged in court by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA). As a result, portions of the BLM’s travel plan were found to not follow the agency’s own minimization criteria and National Historic Preservation Act requirements, according to Kimball’s 2013 ruling. While the question of how the work will be completed in the next three years, last week’s court action does defi ne how conditions on the ground will be affected during the review process. Essentially, everything will stay the same as it is now until the enhanced archaeological reviews are completed, according to the ruling. At that point, changes might be made concerning which routes remain open for public use. Kimball denied a request by SUWA to shut down all OHV access while the review is conducted. “The court does not believe that the level of potential harm justifi ed imme-diate injunctive relief,” Kimball said in his decision. – The Richfi eld Reaper

Pelicans visit McPheeDOLORES – A fl ock of American white pelicans have taken up residence on McPhee Reservoir. The locally uncommon sighting was photographed and reported by Karen Boos, of Dolores, during a weekend outing on the eastern side of the lake. This time of year the birds migrate over land, seeking marshes and freshwater lakes to feed. For the past week, a dozen of the bright white birds have been feeding on fi sh and crus-taceans on McPhee in the two containment ponds near Dolores. Bird specialist Glen Dunmire, of Cahone, explained that the species uses an interesting group-feeding tactic to herd fi sh, and trap them. The species of pelican does not dive for their food, rather they scoop it from the surface. The American white pelican winters in the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, and Southern California, then travels north and breeds in late April and early June. They are likely on their way to breeding grounds farther north in Wyoming, and on Gunnison Island on the Great Salt Lake. They nest in colonies, sometimes numbering in the thousands. During breeding season, males and females develop a distinct bump on their beaks, which is evident on the McPhee fl ock. It’s pos-sible they could nest along the reedy shores of McPhee. “They are very opportunistic,” Dunmire said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to view a bird different than we’re used to.” The birds are protected by the Migratory Bird Treat Act. They have the sec-ond largest average wingspan of any North American bird, after the California con-dor. Forest Service wildlife biologist Ivan Messinger said the pelicans will be moni-tored to ascertain if they are nesting. If so, it would be the fi rst confi rmed nesting site for an American white pelican on the Western Slope in Colorado. – The Dolores Star

Hemp corridor sprouts on U.S. 160MANCOS – Along a 45-mile stretch of U.S. 160, a farmer, a biochemist and a manu-facturer have partnered to help sprout a viable hemp industry in Southwest Colora-do. The process starts in Mancos, where farmer Scott Perez planted three varieties of hemp seed this week. A second-year industrial hemp farmer, Perez hopes his three-quarter acre agrarian experiment helps to create a model for farmers across Ameri-ca. “Industrial help is on the verge of becoming an agricultural revolution,” said Per-ez. He based his prediction, in part, after joining forces with biochemist Scott Otters-berg of Durango. Ottersberg is working to launch Green Lab Solutions, which would analyze hemp seed to determine cannabidiol levels, or CBDs. There is mounting evi-dence that CBD oils can treat both cancer and epilepsy patients, he said. “I’ve always been interested in natural products to support cancer patients,” said the former an-ti-cancer drug designer and Fort Lewis College chemistry professor. After the labora-tory analysis, the hemp would continue east along U.S. Highway 160 to Green Leaf Production Co. in Bayfi eld, where the seed would be processed into CBD oil. The part-nership would be the fi rst successful industrial hemp operation in Southwest Colora-do. That could be welcome news for the families who have moved to Colorado seek-ing natural cannabis-based medications, Ottersberg said. Despite the benefi ts, Ot-tersberg and Perez were quick to point out that many – from law-abiding citizens to state and national legislators – continue to hold onto misinformed perceptions about marijuana, which stymies the industry’s potential. Hemp grown in Colorado, for ex-ample, must contain less than three-tenths of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana responsible for producing euphoric highs. Perez, 63, grew up in a Midwest farm community. After receiving a graduate degree in natural resources from Cornell University a few years ago, he settled in Mancos. “Hemp is really good for soil resto-ration, so I became interested from the conservancy end of things,” he said. In 2015, Colorado has licensed 2,637 acres for hemp production. – Cortez Journal

Basic training grad

Air Force Airman First Class Robert B. Wind-er graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lack-land, San Antonio, TX.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military dis-cipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fi tness, and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Winder earned distinc-tion as an honor graduate.

He is the son of Tom and Terri Winder of Blanding, UT and husband of Rebec-ca S. Winder.

The airman is a 2008 graduate of San Juan High School, Blanding, UT. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 2014 from Utah Valley Universty, Orem, UT.

It’s that season again where the Parks and Beautifi cation Committee is awarding those that are taking extra care in their yards. With the rain we’ve received in the past few weeks, many of our yards and gardens are in full bloom and greener than ever!

Bill and Kay Francom are the recipients of the Xeriscape Award. With the help of their son, Steve, Kay designed the area, and with the man-power of their grandsons, just recently completed the project.

Kay states that her phi-losophy in life is “Simplic-ity,” and that motto is re-fl ected in the simple yet stunning layout of their yard.

The Francom’s xeri-

scaped yard is a fantastic example of how a drought friendly and water wise landscape is not only ap-propriate for the area we live, but it can be impres-sive and practical at the same time.

The winner of the Beau-tiful Yard Award is Mar-tha Johnson. Those that know her know that de-spite being small in stat-ure, she has a tangible joy and pizazz for life.

Her fl ower garden re-fl ects the same concept – though she has a small space to work from, her fl owers emanate delight and zest for all things liv-ing. From birdbaths to a fi re engine red bench to a raised bed full of brand new dinner plate dahlias, Martha’s garden is truly eye candy for anyone pass-

ing by. Martha tells us she en-

joys spending her timeamongst her fl owers be-cause it’s cheaper thantherapy. A yellow dinnerplate dahlia is Martha’sfavorite fl ower, and un-der the expert knowledgeof her good friend Vee Car-roll, is anticipating hav-ing at least one of her veryown in her garden laterthis year.

Utah State University Eastern engineering stu-dents successfully compet-ed in the nation’s largest high-powered rocket com-petition for Native Amer-ican college students in Kenosha, WI, April 30-May 2.

The eight students, guid-ed by their professor, Jared Berrett, USU Eastern en-gineering faculty advisor, brought with them three rockets they designed, built and launched.

They fi rst launched the rockets, with hundreds on hand, at the college’s STEAM (science, tech-nology, engineering, art, mathematics) Expo in ear-ly April. The largest of the three high-powered pro-jectiles stands fi ve-feet tall with 10-inch diameter tail fi ns.

The expo launches gave students the chance to test, tweak and perform in front of hundreds prior to the competition.

Of the 12-member USU Eastern Blanding team,

eight were selected to compete in Wisconsin. The students are all members of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES).

Seth Laughter repre-sented the “rocketeers”. Team “Uno Castro” was represented by Cedale Armstrong. The all-girls “AG-6” team included Christina Morgan, Kelly Whitehair, Tenia Peace, Valtina Begay, Amber Gil-lis and Denishia Tsosie.

The event convened on the campus of Carthage College in Kenosha, in which USU Eastern was joined by 18 other tribal teams from 13 schools and 10 states.

The three-day event was hosted by the Wiscon-sin Space Grant Consor-tium, in conjunction with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and the National Space Grant Foundation.

The First Nations Launch included presen-tations, workshops and launch preparations that culminated in the fi ring of the rockets on the fi nal day.

“Upon arrival, the stu-dents were rushed straight to an evening of presenta-tions and judging of the student team efforts,” Ber-rett said. “Our students said they felt nervous and

intimidated as they looked at several rockets that stood over 12-feet-tall, had multi-stages and multiple engine thrusters.”

This was Blanding’s fi rst time building high-powered rockets, and even though their rockets were not the most advanced, the fact that USU Eastern students had taken full advantage of using them as an outreach tool in local school districts in South-eastern Utah prior to the competition won early ad-miration by the judges, Berrett said.

USU Eastern’s six-mem-ber all-girls’ team, dubbed AG-6, was also a big hit.

“The Kennedy Space Center’s chief engineer James Wood thought this was the fi rst all-girls’ team he had worked with,” Ber-rett said. “He couldn’t have been more impressed.”

The second day of the event included workshops on rocket motor building, altimeter-enabled deploy-ment, simulation and mod-eling of different launch scenarios. What is key to any successful launch is ba-sic understanding of fl ight principles such as thrust, velocity, mass, trajectory and center of pressure.

And talk about pressure. There was plenty of that for students to deal with on the fi nal day at the region-al rocketry launch fi eld at the Bong State Recre-ation Area, near Kenosha, with an additional 15-plus teams from around the re-gion joining the event.

“With 10 launch pads and over 30 rockets, it was an exciting day,” said Berrett.

AG-6 team leader Chris-tina Morgan said, “I wasn’t nervous all year in AIS-ES, even with our robot-ics competition in Wash-ington D.C., but when our rocket was on the launch pad and the countdown began with all those teams watching, all I could think was, please launch!”

Berrett said all the USU Eastern teams’ rock-ets performed beautiful-ly, and he could not have been more pleased for USU Eastern to be part of such an historic event.

“Who knows how many events like these help to launch careers for Native Americans in the fi eld of science, technology, engi-neering and mathemat-ics?” he said. “USU East-ern has a place in all of this. We are proud of our students and the promise they hold as future Native American STEM leaders.”

Local athletes have been getting in shape for the annual Utah State Special Olympics competi-tion. Many of them participated in a recent torch running ceremony in Blanding. The parade featured sixteen local participants walking down Blanding’s Main Street, sharing the Olympic torch. The walk began at 500 South and ended at the Visitors Center.

It was early Sunday morning, a week ago, when that nostalgic sound was fi rst heard, or at least thought was heard. It’s been many a year since such mu-sic tickled the soul, but there it was, wafting wist-fully up the hill from the dry North Creek drainage.

Naaahhh, its just the wind blowing threw the leaves of the trees, and off to Sunday activities we went.

But after a weekend of extensive rain through-out San Juan County and all of Utah, a week that saw two tornadoes in the county, a rockslide that stopped traffi c for a cou-ple of hours, leaving be-hind two boulders consid-erably spacious enough to warrant blasting in order to remove, and quadru-ple the average amount of June rain, the most un-usual occurrence of all un-folded right smack dab in North Creek.

That nostalgic sound, the unmistakable exultant warble of running water, came from North Creek, suddenly, unexpectedly, and extraordinarily over-fl owing its banks as it swiftly acclaimed it’s way down the mountain.

Where did the water come from? Did a rain swollen reservoir burst its banks, sending the torrent down the stream?

Nope, a quick inspec-tion of the creek showed the water simply coming from the mountain as if it always appeared out of no-where on June the Seven.

South Creek too, send-

ing its precious load into Loyds Lake, drowning the grass that had grown ac-customed to the low bare hillsides of the shallow lake. A week later and

they are still running, like a runoff from the best win-ter ever.

A most un-usual occurrence, fi rst, the abundance of rain in June, which is up over two inch-es already, and second, for North and South Creek to BEGIN running on June 7.

The oldtimers say that a week after the snow disap-pears from the Horsehead, North Creek STOPS fl ow-ing. But this year, on the day the snow disappeared, the creeks fl owed.

Last year, Monticello had no measurable rain during the entire month of June and a considerably less than average snow pack from the winter for three years in a row.

Average rainfall in June in Monticello is 0.54 inch-es. So far this month, 2.32 inches and counting. The mountain has received 3.6 inches in just the last week. Life in San Juan County. Never dull.

Spring Sport Accolades

Seven local athletes made news with their prowess in the classroom this spring, being named Academic All-State in their respective sports. Six Broncos were so hon-ored: Sara Palmer in soft-ball; Davin Lyman, boys track; Carter Holliday, tennis; and Jesse Ivins, Klea Hurst, and Brianna Pugh in girls golf.

One Buckaroo, Makade

Maloy, was named to the boys golf Academic All-State team.

Congratulations to these scholar-athletes.

Bronco baseball players, Braxton Brown and Tan-ner Taylor, were honored for their efforts on the dia-mond last week when they were both named to the 2A Honorable Mention team by the Deseret News.

BirdsSS yearly count is up to

100 since March the One after the identifi cation of two new bird species, #137 and #138 on Sportshorts all-time list.

First, a ruby-crowned kinglet, a cute little olive green bird with a cardi-nal type song and a nice red Mohawk on the males. It was spotted hovering above the scene of a seri-ous garden planting.

Next is another olive green bird with a most fa-miliar song, heard often in the mountains but before now never identifi ed by SS, a warbling vireo, watched and listened to for 20 min-utes on the road to Buck-board Campground.

Hideout GolfThe Open House for the

new Hideout Communi-ty Center and golf shop will be the Saturday, June 20. As part of the grand opening, the Hideout Golf Course will be hav-ing all day golf at special rates. Come and enjoy the course that shows the ef-fects of all this rain as well as anything.

The Hideout will be host-ing a youth golf clinic on the 29th of June. Jim Fi-alla, a retired golf profes-sional from Durango will be here to offer his free clinic again.

Jim spends his time now

promoting the game of golf and doing these free clinics for kids. He even brings some clubs for kids to use during the clinic if they need a driver or wedge or something.

Registration for the clin-ic is on the 29th at 8:30 a.m. with the free clinic going from 9 a.m.-noon. A great way to get ahead in your golf game, kids!

Couples TournamentThe annual couples tour-

nament worked its way around a bucket of rain on Friday. Twenty-eight

couples in two fl ights par-ticipated in the scramble format tournament with Joe and Linda Sullivan of Montrose, CO coming out on top in A Flight, shoot-ing a fi ne 65.

Local golfers Mike and Cathy Lamb tied for third in A Flight net with Joe and Eve Ligon, who play golf at the Hideout often from their perch in Page, AZ.

Mike Northern and Kimm Lacy won the B Flight gross, fi ring a 67. First net in B Flight was

Dave and Tiffany Ed-wards. The Eldredges, Todd and Roxanne, fi n-ished in third place net.

The next tournament at the Hideout is the Monticel-lo Lions Club Benefi t Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 27. The tournament will begin with a Shotgun start at 8 a.m., with nine holes of Scramble and an-other nine of Best Ball for two-man teams.

All proceeds benefi t per-sons in need of eyeglass-es, hearing aids, scholar-ships, etc.

Colton Oliver, an eighth grade student at Albert R. Lyman Middle School, has earned a position on the Utah State/Provincial Na-tional Junior High Rodeo team and will be traveling with fellow teammates to Des Moines, IA, June 21-

27 to compete at the 11th annual National Junior High Finals Rodeo (NJH-FR) in the tie down roping and boys goat tying com-petitions.

Featuring roughly 1,000 contestants from 42 states, fi ve Canadian

chance to be named a Na-tional Junior High Finals Rodeo National Champi-on. To earn this title, con-testants must fi nish in the top 20 — based on their combined times/scores.

Again, this year, the Saturday championship performance will be tele-vised nationally as a part of the Cinch High School Rodeo Tour telecast series on RFD-TV. Live broad-casts of each NJHFR per-formance will also air on-line at the NHSRATV.com. Performance times are 7 p.m. on June 21 and 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day thereafter.

Along with great rodeo competition and the chance to meet new friends from around the world, NJHFR contestants have the op-portunity to enjoy shoot-ing sports, volleyball, tug-of-war, contestant dances, family-oriented activities, church services sponsored by the Fellowship of Chris-tian Cowboys, and shop-ping at the NJHFR trade-show, as well as visiting area attractions as Des Moines hosts the NJHFR for the fi rst time.

To follow your local fa-vorites at the NJHFR, vis-it NHSRA.org daily for complete results. For tick-et information and reser-vations, visit CatchDes-Moines.com/rodeo.

JON MORIS, PhD June 19, 1939 ~ May 30, 2015

It is with immense sad-ness that we write to in-form you that our father, Jon Moris, passed away on May 30. He was a bright and most generous person and will be deeply missed by his fam-ily, friends, colleagues, and stu-dents.

Jon was born in Ki-omboi, Tan-zania, on June 19, 1939, to Dr. Stan-ley W. Mor-is and Mrs. Edith Oker-lund. His father was a Lutheran missionary doctor who worked in Tanganyika from 1938 to 1965 at four different hos-pitals and the leprosarium in Iambi.

Jon attended the Rift Valley Academy (RVA) in Kenya until 1957, when he returned to the Unit-ed States to attend Seat-tle Pacifi c and later North-western University, where he earned his MA and PhD in Anthropology.

Jon returned to East Af-rica in 1963 to do research for his PhD thesis. For over 15 years he taught and conducted research for the Universities of Ma-karere (Uganda), Nairo-bi (Kenya), and Dar es Sa-laam (Tanzania), and from 1973 to 1976 he was team leader for the Masai Range Project for Tanzania (then USAID’s largest Tanzania Project).

In 1980 he began teach-ing at Utah State Univer-sity in Logan, where he taught 14 different cours-es in the areas of compar-ative rural development; African pastoralism; ap-plied, economic, and cul-tural anthropology; in-ternational development; and peoples of Africa and of the World.

He retired from his ca-reer at Utah State Univer-sity Eastern Campus in Blanding, UT.

On Friday, May 29, at the age of 75 and having only just fully retired, Jon was with a colleague and longtime friend when he felt a sudden pain in his chest followed by weak-ness on the left side of his body. He was taken to the local hospital, where his state quickly deteriorat-ed, and was airlifted to the University of Utah Hospi-tal in Salt Lake City.

A CT scan revealed he was suffering from a dis-section of the aorta and a tear in a coronary artery of the heart. After a long and complicated opera-tion, he never woke up in the post-op ICU and died shortly after.

Jon had no known cur-rent illnesses, and it was a massive shock to lose him so suddenly. Our conso-

lation is that he lived his life to the very end pursu-ing his lifelong passions of teaching and writing. He had plans to publish, do research, and to travel.

The family plans to com-m e m o r a t e Jon’s life during a private cel-e b r a t i o n on July 25 at the Lit-tle Church of the Wild-wood in Featherville in the Saw-tooth moun-tains of Ida-ho.

O u r grandfather built a fam-ily log cab-in there where we

spent many holidays and memorable times togeth-er. Any friend or relative who would like to attend is most welcome and should contact his daughter, Ju-lia, for further informa-tion. She can be reached at morishartley@gmail.com.

A ceremony was held at 7 p.m. on June 10 at St. Christopher’s Mission in Bluff, UT, where Jon at-tended mass on Sundays. All of his friends, col-leagues and students from the Utah State University were invited to join in re-membrance of his life.

Jon is survived by his brother, Donald; his sis-ter, Ann; three children: Lisa, Nathan, and Julia; and eight grandchildren.

Card of thanksThe Moris family thanks

friends, family, and col-leagues from around the world for their tremen-dous outpouring of love and support. Jon had such an impact on everyone’s lives, and he will be thor-oughly missed.

Jon had an impressive collection of more than twenty thousand books. In particular, his collec-tion on Africa, the South-west, Native Americans and People of the World contains many unique, out of print and hard to fi nd volumes.

With the help of his col-leagues and friends, we hope to fi nd a home for them so that students, scholars, faculty mem-bers and all those inter-ested can benefi t from this abundant resource.

In lieu of fl owers, the family would like to es-tablish a fund to perpetu-ate Jon’s goal of a lasting archive for his books. We would also be grateful for those who wish to share remembrances of Jon.

Please send donation in-quiries and remembranc-es to morishartley@gmail.com.

With deep sorrow,Lisa, Nathan, and Julia

JEANNE W. B. ANDERSONMarch 16, 1928 ~ June 4, 2015

Jeanne Williams Brooks Anderson died June 4 at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT. She was born to Kimball Williams and Trena Nielson Williams at Cortez, CO.

Her an-cestral fami-ly arrived in Utah with the Willy H a n d c a r t Company . Her great-g r a n d f a -ther, Jens Nielson, is known as the found-er of several c o m m u n i -ties includ-ing Cedar City and Bluff, UT as part of the Hole-in-the-Rock expe-dition.

E v e r y s u m m e r on the last day of school, Jeanne rode the Lyman Freight Truck from Grand Junction to Blanding where she caught the US Mail truck to Bluff to spend the summer with her grand-parents, Freeman and Margaret Nielson.

Growing up in the De-pression Era, Jeanne learned to value and love gardening and, later in her adult life, had truly splen-did gardens in Bluff.

She had a natural cu-riosity, loved archeology and geology, no doubt in-fl uenced by the beautiful natural surroundings of southeast Utah.

She graduated from high school in Grand Junction, CO and attended Mesa College.

Her marriage to George Brooks in 1946 produced four children: Cynthia, Katheryn, Patrick and Mi-chael. Married to Boyd An-derson in 1958 (until his death in 2000), her young-est son Alan, was born.

Jeanne was wholly ded-

icated to San Juan Coun-ty and worked on behalf of the community to de-velop the Sand Island pic-nic area and negotiated with an oil company to sell

their foot bridge, also known as the Swing-ing Bridge, for $1 to the Navajo Na-tion, mak-ing travel more con-venient for tribal mem-bers.

Truly of pi-oneer stock, Jeanne was an industri-ous work-er in addi-tion to her philanthro-py. In the late 1950’s, she worked at the fami-ly business,

the Twin Rocks Trading Post, in Bluff. She also worked in several phy-sician and dental offi ces throughout the years and for Delta Plan Insurance.

She retired from Educa-tors Mutual Insurance As-sociation in Salt Lake City in 1993.

Her survivors include her children Cynthia Sch-neider of Puyallup, WA; Kaye (Randy) Stambaugh of San Diego, CA; Patrick (Julie) Brooks of San Di-ego, CA; Michael (Valerie) Brooks of Ketchikan, AK; Alan Anderson of Tooele, UT; eleven grandchildren and eight great-grandchil-dren.

Jeanne was preceded in death by her only broth-er, Neil Williams, and her husband, Boyd Anderson.

At her request, no for-mal services will be held. In lieu of fl owers, the fam-ily requests that donations be made to Adopt-A-Na-tive Elder, a charity sup-porting elderly traditional Navajo weavers.

Victoria Grace Utley, age 75, passed away at her home in Ucolo, CO on Saturday, June 6, 2015. She was born on April 7, 1940 in Salt Lake City, UT to Victor and Grace (Dumbreck) Peterson.

She grew up on the family farm in Uco-lo with her parents and sister, Max-ine. In her early years, she attend-ed Uco-lo School and Burns School, both o n e - r o o m schoolhous-es, and g r a d u a t -ed from Monticello High School in 1958.

After working for the San Juan Record and a local gas company, and a previous marriage that produced a daughter (Monica), she married Wil-liam David Utley on April 24, 1963. Together, they had a son, Michael, and a

daughter, Shelley. While her husband

farmed and worked in the uranium mines, Vicki spent several years as a cashier and bookkeeper at Jensen’s Food Center in Monticello. Her jovial

personal i -ty made her a delight to work with and many customers considered her a good friend.

Life on the farm includ-ed garden-ing, cook-ing, sewing, reading and taking care of her three c h i l d r e n ,

which she felt was her true calling in life. She taught her daughters how to cook and sew and was always present at her son’s ath-letic events.

Music was a passion for her, and she loved clas-sic rock and hymns. She cherished the peace and quite of farm life, and her

VICTORIA GRACE UTLEYApril 7, 1940 ~ June 6, 2015

love of animals and nature was evident throughout her life.

She became a born-again Christian and was baptized in 1974 and was one of the founding mem-bers of Fellowship Baptist Church in Dove Creek, CO, helping lead a Bible Study

group for many years. She was well-versed in Bi-ble scripture and enjoyed sharing her faith with oth-ers.

She instilled Christian morals and values in her children and grandchil-dren and always sought to refl ect God’s grace in her

daily life. Vicki had a wonder-

ful sense of humor and the ability to always see the best in everyone. Her smile was ever-present and even the severe pain of her many medical issues never dimmed the light in her eyes and heart. She adored the simple plea-sures of life and always en-joyed visiting with friends and family.

Vicki is survived by her husband of 52 years, Da-vid; children, Monica (Ron) Lacy, Michael, and Shelley (Steve) Pruett; six grandchildren, Bethany (Connor), Jordan, Jaztin,

Kean, Park and Neeka; sister, Maxine; and many nieces, nephews and cous-ins.

She was preceded in death by her parents and infant sister, Betty Jean.

Her loving nature and ever-present smile will be remembered by everyone who had the honor and pleasure of knowing her.

Family viewing was held Monday, June 15 at San Juan Mortuary in Blan-ding, UT. Graveside ser-vices took place Tuesday, June 16 at Monticello City Cemetery in Monticello, UT. Pastor John Williams offi ciated.

Richard was born on March 20, 1931 in Mur-ray, UT to Ervin and Beth G u y m o n . He was Erv and Beth’s oldest child. His family moved back to Bland-ing, UT and with the ex-ception of a short time when his family re-turned to Salt Lake as a child, service in the military and college, B l a n d i n g was his home.

He took great pride in the city of Blanding. Any-one who engaged in a conversation with Rich-ard would soon learn of his love for the town and would be told stories about its history.

In high school, Rich-ard played basketball for the San Juan High School basketball team. He grad-

He is remembered for always having a joke for his students, for fi lling the school with rotten egg gas once a year, trips to “Ag-athon” at Utah State Uni-versity and most impor-tantly for his dedication to his students.

A comment on Facebook from a former student, at news of his passing, said, “One of those teachers you don’t forget because you knew he loved what he was doing and cared.”

In addition to teaching, Richard worked on the family farm with his fa-ther and brothers and sis-ters. Together they raised hay and cattle on over 2,000 acres.

Richard also sold Nava-jo jewelry and served for many years as the presi-dent of the San Juan Cred-it Union. In his later years, in addition to his store, he worked at the Four Cor-ners Inn, which he owned with his brothers and sis-ters.

Richard was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was proud of the missionary service of his sons and grandsons, and he currently has a

granddaughter, Melanie Poh, serving in New Jer-sey. He was very generous with his money in helping fi nance their missions.

16 | SAN JUAN RECORD | June 17, 2015

The evening was a dream. Laying in the ham-mock my wife had giv-en me for my birthday, I watched as twilight set in. Looking up from my woven sling into the slowly dark-ening sky made me drowsy and soothed my senses.

I was captivat-ed by the vary-ing shades of blue spread-ing across the small patch of heaven above me. Shades of turquoise, then medium satin blue, then dark vel-veteen blue rolled in like lazy ocean waves.

Each time I closed my eyes, they reopened to darker tones and richer color saturation.

Situated on a small strip of grass facing the sharply peaked roof of our house, a brace of towering blue spruce trees shaded my back. To my left, a magnifi -cent old cherry tree spread its over-sized branches in a protective embrace.

To my right, the garage roof blocked the lights of the nearby convenience store. I could just see the full bodied locust tree peering around the edge of the house.

There was a slightly cooling breeze that caused the tree branches to sway in slow, rhythmic motions. The leaves danced on the wind, making a barely dis-cernible rustle in the night air.

The multitude of small birds inhabiting our des-

ert oasis whirred about overhead, causing a ruck-us while they settled in for the night.

I could hear my wife dig-ging in the fl owerbed near the south wall, certain she regretted providing me a reason to loaf while she immersed herself in yard

work.My much-used

excuse of being highly allergic to any form of plant matter had begun

to wear thin. I am pretty sure I gave myself

up the other day when I shared my ap-preciation for The Pollen Path, a collection of Na-vajo myths retold by Mar-garet Kent. I feared Lau-rie had misconstrued my message and would some-how use it against me.

Thinking of the book, I shared an inspirational quote with her. It goes like this, “Remember always to walk in the pollen path of peace and of blessing. Be still within yourself, and know that the trail is beautiful.

“Whenever you are in danger, walk carefully and quietly. Your feet will be blessed with pollen and your hands will be blessed with pollen. Let your mind and your voice go forward on the pollen path.”

I informed Laurie that Steve and I had decided to walk the pollen path.

Since we live and work with people who appre-ciate those who attempt to understand their cul-ture, it seems a reasonable thing to do.

Thus far I have found

the path fairly easy to nav-igate. Since I am a reason-able and easygoing fellow, it has not been much of a challenge.

Steve, on the other hand, has had to overcome many obstacles and keeps me-andering from one side of the path to the other, often falling into the bar ditch, muddying himself in the process.

My dream scene came to an abrupt end as I looked into the frustrated face of my hard working wife.

“Oh! Hi honey, I was just thinking about that pollen book I have been reading.”

Laurie looked serious-ly at me and said, “Maybe you can follow the path to the garden, it needs water-ing, and I am sure you will fi nd lots of pollen there.”

I frowned at her, know-ing I had personally pro-vided the ammunition necessary to upend my re-

laxation.Shaking my head in won-

der at her carefully crafted reply and complete lack of sympathy for my relation-ship with nature, I care-fully removed myself from the hammock and headed onto the garden.

Clearing my mind, I re-frained from voicing what would surely prove to be an unpopular opinion. My pollen path was turning into a slippery slope.

As I watered tomatoes, corn and pumpkin plants, Laurie followed me into the patch and began weed-ing. We talked about the day’s events, and fell into an easy, jocular discus-sion about who was being bossy, who was working too hard and who was just plain lazy.

As I stood watching, lis-tening and learning, re-ality set in and the eve-ning took on a warm, em-bracing glow. The beau-

ty around me is of a rich, vibrant nature, there was compassion, caring, un-derstanding, support and above all else, a deep and abiding love.

All of that, along with the wonders of the natu-ral world, provided me a feeling of belonging, and a sense of being that I could

not have imagined in my earlier days.

It seems that whether you are seeking the pollen path or stumbling onto the garden path, family plays an important role in mak-ing the journey a success, dreams and reality seem to merge when you walk these trails.
