A smallmouth bass transplant project was completed on Flaming Gorge last Friday (May 30th) in
coordination with Wyoming Game and Fish (WGFD), Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
(UDWR), US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Trout
Unlimited, Cowboy Bass, Wyoming Bass Federation, Utah Bass
Federation, Utah Bass Nation, and generous members of the
public. Forty anglers operating twenty boats, volunteered their
time and gear to hook-n-line bass for UDWR and
WGFD. Collections focused on the Jarvies Bay area where bass
densities are high. Collected bass were hauled to one of two
agency transport boats, where biologists measured, tagged, and
loaded fish into large oxygenated tanks. A total of 359 of these
bass were moved to one of two release sites, 30-40 miles up
lake. In addition, 26 bass were tagged and released in Jarvies
Bay to compare the two marked groups.

Fish were tagged with fluorescent green Floy tags (looks like a
spaghetti noodle) that each have a unique 4-digit number. If
caught, anglers are asked to record the tag number, location
caught, and length and call the phone number on the tag to report the catch. The tagged bass
can still be released so it can continue to provide data upon future recaptures. Both UDWR and
WGFD are interested in assessing growth, movement, and
survival of these tagged smallmouth bass in Flaming Gorge,
assisting the agencies in monitoring the success of the
transplants and future management of the fishery.

Since Burbot became established
in Flaming Gorge, the numbers of
smallmouth bass have declined on
the Wyoming side of the
reservoir due to predation on
small bass and competition for
food (crayfish). Although Burbot
are found in the canyon (UT)
portion of the reservoir, their
numbers remain relatively low. As
a result, smallmouth bass are
very abundant with bass hiding behind almost every rock during the summer months.
Thanks to all the participants in making this project a
success. Signed Ryan Mosley

Tractor Stuck on Swinging
Bridge in Browns Park
as reported by Erin Fenner of the Craig Dailey Press
Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge staff
discovered a tractor stuck on Swinging Bridge
Wednesday, June 25th, partially plunged
through the middle of the overpass. The back
tires of the tractor crashed through the base
of the bridge, so the vehicle is now stuck in the
middle of the landmark structure with no set
time for removal.
“We are making the owner remove it. We have
people on site, but we are not going to be
Photo by Darvey Christiansen
removing it ourselves,” said Linda DeRose, manager of the Moffat County Road and Bridge Department.
People who want to cross the river will need to drive another 10 miles west and use the Bridge Hollow crossing.
While it will only add about 30 miles to the trip, the roads are rough so travelers should anticipate adding an
additional one to two hours travel time. No know time of repair has been stated at this time.

COMMENTS SOUGHT ON CHANGE
OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
During the last legislative session a law was passed that the
Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) hold a
public meeting and collect data about Utah residents’ positions
on Daylight Saving Time (DST). GOED is requesting input
from any and all agricultural producers and producer groups
interested in expressing an opinion on this issue. This is your
chance to have your voice heard.
There are two ways you can provide input. A website has been set up with information on how individuals
and organizations may make comments and state positions. http://business.utah.gov/time. A public meeting
will also be held in Salt Lake City to discuss Daylight Saving Time on July 10 from 10 to 11 a.m. at the
Clark Planetarium (110 South 400 West, SLC, UT 84101). The following three possibilities for DST will be
explored through the website and the forums:
1. Retain existing “spring forward” and “fall back” time as currently followed in Utah 2. Align with Arizona on Mountain Standard Time (fall time) for all 12 months of the year 3. Create a new daylight saving time, i.e. spring forward for all 12 months of the year The UDAF encourages all interested parties to participate in this process.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town of Manila, Utah will hold a public hearing on
Thursday July 10, 2014 at 145 E Hwy 43 Manila, Utah at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as
is feasible, regarding the updating of Planning & Zoning fee schedule changes. All members
of the public are invited to attend and participate in person or by written submission.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans Available to Utah Small Businesses
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Small, nonfarm businesses in nine Utah counties and neighboring counties in Colorado are now
eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA). “These
loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought that began on April 29, 2014, in the
following primary counties,” announced Tanya N. Garfield, Director of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West.
Primary Utah counties: Duchesne and Uintah; Neighboring Utah counties: Carbon, Daggett, Emery, Grand, Summit, Utah
and Wasatch; Neighboring Colorado counties: Garfield, Moffat and Rio Blanco.
“SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have
suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster,”
Garfield said.
Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private,
nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help
meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.
“Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage.
These loans have an interest rate of 4% for businesses and 2.625% for private, nonprofit organizations, a maximum
term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private, nonprofits without the financial ability to
offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Garfield said.
By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster.
Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster on June 25, 2014.
Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural
enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
assistance made available by the Secretary’s declaration. However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for SBA
disaster assistance.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure Web site at https://
disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA’s Customer Service Center by calling (800)
659-2955 or e-mailing [email protected]. Individuals who are deaf or hard‑of‑hearing may call
(800) 877-8339. For more information about SBA’s disaster assistance programs, visit http://www.sba.gov/disaster.
The deadline to apply for these loans is February 25, 2015.
Fundraising for Flaming Gorge
Daggett County has a huge backlog of projects in Flaming Gorge Country that don’t have
funding. Daggett County is looking for those who are willing to help with the fundraising or
want to give to the Flaming Gorge Country Community Foundation, which is a part of the
Community Foundation of Utah, a 501 (c) (3) organization. A local advisory board has been
set up and is moving forward to raise funds for programs like the bike trails, the museums,
recycling, the shooting range and first responder equipment needs. Contact Brian Raymond
at 435-784-3218 ext. 134 or [email protected] for more information.

Ashley National Forest Proposes Recreation Fee Increases
and Additional Cabins for Rent
VERNAL, UTAH: The Ashley National Forest is interested in hearing your comments on a proposal to increase fees at one
campground, one group site, three cabins and three yurts, along with new fee recreation opportunities being proposed on three
additional cabins.
Currently, fees are collected at 89 recreation sites, which include 71 family campgrounds, 12 day use sites and six rental cabins
and yurts. Sites where fees are charged have a higher level of amenity features than non-fee areas. Some of the amenities present
are picnic tables, toilets, garbage collection, fire rings and interpretive displays.
“We have made improvements to many of our fee sites over the last 18 years,” said Kathy Paulin, recreation program manager for
the Ashley National Forest. “Many of these improvements were possible because of fees collected at recreation sites. Increases in
fees will help us continue to make improvements and provide quality recreation opportunities to visitors.”
Public comments will be accepted from June to the end of September 2014. To comment on these proposals, contact: Louis
Haynes, Ashley National Forest, (435) 789-1181 or email [email protected] . For detailed information on each site please visit
http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3804959.pdf .
There are numerous recreation opportunities on the forest that are free, such as less developed campgrounds and dispersed
camping sites, trails for travel by OHV, horses, and hiking, scenic driving, High Uintas Wilderness trips and numerous picnic and
fishing sites. The Ashley has 171 developed recreation sites; 89 require fees and 82 are free.

“We
want to know how fee increases might impact recreationists,” stated Kathy Paulin. “We are asking for people who recreate at
the Ashley’s campgrounds, group sites and cabin rentals to give us feedback about the fee proposals.”
The fee increases would be consistent with inflationary costs as well as ensure that fees are more comparable to similar public and
private sites in their respective areas. “We are proposing to have price consistency throughout the Forest at similar sites with similar
amenities provided”, Kathy Paulin said.
The majority (95%) of the revenue collected at recreation fee sites remains on the forest to operate, maintain and improve the
facilities and programs at the recreation sites. User-generated revenue supplements appropriated funds and helps the Ashley
National Forest reinvest in recreation facilities that are important to the public.
All fee change proposals will be presented before a citizen’s advisory committee, called the Utah BLM Recreation Resource
Advisory Committee (RRAC). Committee members represent a broad array of recreation interest groups to help ensure that the
Forest Service is proposing reasonable and publicly acceptable fee changes. Committee members will help ensure that the Forest
Service addresses public issues and concerns about recreation fees.
The public is welcome to attend and comment at all advisory committee meetings. The next Utah RAC meeting is expected to be
held during the winter of 2014/15. The exact meeting time, location and agenda will be announced on the Ashley National Forest
website and through local media.
In 2004, Congress passed the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act which allows the Forest Service to retain funds collected
at certain recreation sites and use these funds locally to operate and maintain and improve these sites. Before the Forest Service
received the authority to retain funds locally, all fees collected by the Forest Service went to the national treasury.
Comments will be accepted through the end of September 2014. Written comments should be submitted to: Kristy Groves,
Roosevelt-Duchesne District Ranger, P.O. Box 981 (85 West Main), Duchesne, UT 84021 or Nicholas Schmelter, Vernal District
Ranger, 355 N Vernal Avenue, Vernal, UT 84078. Electronic comments should be sent to [email protected] and
will be most useful if submitted in a format such as an email message, pdf, plain text (.txt), rich text format (.rtf), or Word (.doc
or .docx) document. If you are submitting comments please note the name of the project (Ashley Fee Proposal) within your
comments.

Lightning Safety—When Thunder Roars—Go Indoors
You are not safe anywhere outside. Run to a safe building or vehicle when you first hear thunder, see lightning or
observe dark threatening clouds developing overhead. Stay inside until 30 minutes after you hear the last clap of thunder.
Do not shelter under trees.
On the Water: The vast majority of lightning injuries and deaths on boats occur on small boats with NO
cabin. It is crucial to listen to weather information when you are boating. If thunderstorms are forecast, do
not go out. If you are out and cannot get back to land and safety, drop anchor and get as low as possible.
Large boats with cabins, especially those with lightning protection systems properly installed, or metal marine
vessels are relatively safe. Remember to stay inside the cabin and away from any metal surfaces. Stay off
the radio unless it is an emergency! Do NOT seek shelter under the beach picnic shelters. Go to your car!
Wait 30 minutes until after the last rumble of thunder before going back to the beach.

Bye-Bye, Bugs — Here’s How to Make a Homemade Mosquito Trap
By Heather Davis June 18, 2013 12:45 PM
Homemade Mosquito Trap (Secret Garden of Life Facebook)
You could go out and buy a mosquito zapper, but why not make one at home for way less
money! Here is a recipe for a homemade mosquito trap — and all you need is an old soda bottle
and some kitchen items.
HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP
Items needed:
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 gram of yeast (You don’t need a lot)
2-liter plastic bottle
How to do it:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.
2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When
cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.
3. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.
4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if
desired.
5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and place it outside in an
area away from your normal gathering area. (Mosquitoes are also drawn to the color black.)
Change the solution every two weeks for continuous control.
Someone on the Facebook page that I found this on also suggested a white bucket with two
scoops of chlorine in the bottom of it, but I would worry about animals eating that! The above
has nothing toxic.

Daggett County Jail Inmate Graduation
Wilber Fransisco Gongora, an inmate at the Daggett County jail, graduated
with a high school diploma on May 5, 2014. Teacher Sara Lamb offered
opening remarks by welcoming those in attendance, and read a poem, The
Steeps, in the tradition of former teacher and Mrs. Lamb's father, Steve
B. Wilkinson, who would read this poem to each of his graduates.
“This particular situation is rather unique, as Mr. Gongora is the only one of
my students who was taught by my father as well as myself. I feel honored
to have finished what my father started,” Mrs. Lamb stated.
After offering encouragement to continue taking the higher road, Mrs.
Lamb's remarks were followed by Sheriff Jerry Jorgensen, who stated
that the jail staff had recognized the development of Mr. Gongora's
leadership abilities during his incarceration, and praised his efforts in earning a high school diploma. Daggett
School Board member, James A. Olsen, was present to award Mr. Gongora's diploma. Mr. Gongora was released
from the Daggett County Jail May 6, 2014. His future plans include working in his family's business and to attend
college.

PROCESS: Push the thumbtack through the center
of the aluminum pie pan from the bottom. Push the
eraser end of the pencil into the thumbtack. Put the
styrofoam plate upside-down on a table. Quickly,
rub the underneath of the plate with the wool for a
couple of minutes. Pick up the aluminum pie pan
using the pencil as a handle and place it on top of
the upside-down styrofoam plate that you were just
rubbing with the wool. Touch the aluminum pie pan
with your finger. You should feel a shock. If you
don’t feel anything, try rubbing the styrofoam plate
again. Once you feel the shock, try turning the lights
out before you touch the pan again. Check out what
you see! You should see a spark!!
EXPLANATION: Why does this happen? It’s all
about static electricity. Lightning happens when the
negative charges, which are called electrons, in the
bottom of the cloud or in this experiment your finger
are attracted to the positive charges, which are
called protons, in the ground or in this experiment
the aluminum pie pan. The resulting spark is like a
mini lightning bolt.

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?" DeGaulle did not respond.

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for
Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.
He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great
peril to fight for Freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to
bury those that did not return."

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and
American.
During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt
Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to
do, bomb them?"
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several
hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have
three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons
of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and
injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?"

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian,
Australian and French Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that
included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks,
but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only
English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking
French?"
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans
arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.At French Customs, he took a few minutes to
locate his passport in his carry on.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible! Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!"
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then, he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at
Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport
to."
