The grand opening of the Hideout Community Center in Monticello will take place on June 20 with a host of activities. De-tails were discussed at the June 2 meeting of the San Juan County Commission.
San Juan County has scheduled the annual health fair to be in con-junction with the festivi-ties in hopes that the com-bined event will “have something for everyone”.
The building, which hosts the weekly Commis-sion meeting, is also the
Monticello Senior Citizen Center, a conference and meeting center, and the clubhouse for the Hideout Golf Course.
A tour of the new build-ing proves to be quite an event all by itself. The conference room has be-come home to some beau-tiful photographs of area scenery during recent days. The grand opening is scheduled for June 20. An advertisement in this issue of the San Juan Re-cord gives a complete list-ing of the events.
In other news from the Commission meet-ing, County Planner Nick
Sandberg reported that he received notice from the U.S. Forest Service that they will begin the process of revising their plan for the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The planning pro-cess will be a three-year project. The plan in place presently has a date from the early 1980s.
The Forest Service be-gan the revision process in the late 1990s only to have it put on hold due to law-suits. Finally, the lawsuits have been resolved and the process can move forward.
Sandberg requested clarifi cation from the com-mission on the next meet-ing of the Public Lands Council. The last meeting of the board was intended to make a fi nal recommen-dation to the Commission for San Juan County’s par-ticipation in the proposed Public Lands Bill.
The previous meeting was attended by Fred Fer-guson, from the Utah con-gressional offi ce. Sand-berg wondered if the com-mission would like to in-vite Ferguson to attend the next meeting.
A tentative meeting was scheduled for Monday, June 8 at 3 p.m. Commis-sioners would like to have a representative from the congressional offi ce there, if possible, but felt that a meeting needs to be held with or without a repre-
June 20 fair to serve as grand opening for Hideout Community Center

sentative. Commissioner Rebecca Benally will rep-resent the commissioners at the meeting.
County Clerk John Da-vid Nielson reported on the tax sale held by the county. One property was sold in Monticello, one in Blanding, and two in Bluff. There were ten bidders in the process, and the Com-missioners accepted the high bids on each proper-ty.
John Fellmeth gave a quarterly fi nancial report. He was questioned about
the lower valuation of the centrally-assessed prop-erties in the county and what impact that would have. Fellmeth said the loss in property tax reve-nue if the county does not adjust the rates will be ap-proximately $600,000.
Commissioner Benally was appointed as the com-missioner who will have the voting credentials for the National Association of Counties (NACo), with Bruce Adams as an alter-nate. Each county has one voting privilege to exer-
cise.Blaine Nebeker, of the
County Weed Board, pre-sented Commissioners with bylaws for the board, which they requested the commissioners review. The Weed Board has nev-er had written bylaws.
Commissioners will take the proposal under ad-visement and will vote on them at a regular commis-sion meeting.
The commissioners will move their meeting sched-uled for Tuesday, June 23 to Monday, June 22.

Tornado, strong storms cause damage
A tornado touched down in San Juan County af-ter a wild summer storm on Saturday, June 6. Lit-tle damage was recorded along the path of the tor-nado, which made ground fall once or twice for up to fi ve minutes in an isolat-ed area of San Juan Coun-ty between Montezuma Creek and Bluff.
The storm brought a huge hailstorm to the area east of the Cal Black Airport and left a large amount of unmelted hail.
In addition, the sudden torrent caused a rockfall at Comb Ridge on High-way 95. The fallen rock closed the highway for several hours until crews were able to reopen the road.
The storm continues a wet trend for San Juan
County. Precipitation in the month of May was 439 percent higher than nor-mal in Blanding, and to-taled 2.35 inches in Mon-ticello.
Despite a dryer than normal winter for the fourth year in a row, the wet spring has brought a sense of hope for area farmers.
The current year-to-date precipitation is higher than normal in Blanding, Bluff and Monticello. And with more than one inch of water in Monticello during the fi rst week in June, the trend may continue.
A number of remarkable photos were forwarded to the San Juan Record. Sev-eral can be viewed on this page and at the San JuanRecord website at www.sjrnews.com.

“Creativity without
strategy is called art,
creative with strategy
is called advertising.”
- Prof. Jef L. Richards
My traveling partner and I spent a few days on Hilton Head Island, SC last week. We actual-ly thought we might be in the Emerald City as lush and green as the country was.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve great-ly appreciated the lush, green of Sierra La Sal/SE Utah this Spring. In fact, last week I decided there is such a thing as too lush and green. I was mighty glad to get back to my arid high desert home.
He with whom I trav-eled just kept looking around at the world and saying, “We’re not in Kan-sas (Utah perhaps) any-more”.
We’ve seen the sights and it was fun, but it is nice to be back in our lit-tle sequestered “out of the world” home. It was a delight to see modest-ly dressed, un-tatted, un-pierced fresh-faced young folks on our return to Utah. Glad to be home.
Those Boy Scouts have been at it again. We have a busy troop here in La Sal. They hosted a Memo-rial Day breakfast a cou-ple of weeks at the Com-munity Center.
They were well sup-ported by the communi-ty who came to enjoy the pancakes, bacon and eggs and watch the boys fl ip the same. Donations were generous to help fund the scouts many activities.
Following the meal, there was a cake walk. This is an activity usu-
ally done at the Hallow-een Carnival each Fall but was again a big success at the Memorial Day event.
Guess it is kinda like gambling without really
gambling. You purchase a ticket and hope to win a sweet treat. It can get very com-petitive.
There was also a cookie auction held, so it was hard not to go home with some sort of goodie as a remembrance of the day. The cakes and cook-ies were donated by mem-bers of the community.
In all, it was a successful and profi table day. There had been a water activity planned to follow the eat-ing but Ma Nature showed up that morning with her own water sports! She’s been doing that a lot lately, and we are loving it.
School is out, and it seems folks just shift from school busy to out-of-school busy. One of the county-wide and very successful summer activi-ties is the summer reading program sponsored by the San Juan County Library System.
La Sal Library is in-volved in this activity, and the kiddos are meeting each Tuesday afternoon to participate. It’s a fun summer time happening, so come on out and join in. There always seems to be a lot more than just read-ing going on.

Green and lush – Can there be too much?
NorthernNews
FROM SIERRA LA SALby Maxine Deeter
Guild (a glorifi ed name for the group) met a couple of weeks ago to discuss their latest read: “The Secret Life of Bees”.
The group was kind of small that night. I guess other summer activities got in the way. But, it was fun night of book discus-sion and – of course – eat-ing.
The next meeting of the guild will be the last Tues-day of the month and will include the teen/pre-teen readers. A number of se-lections are available for reading all with the theme of expanded fairy tales. Should be interesting. Pick your favorite fairy tale character or story and see if there is not a book to tell you more.
Next week is the annual Redd Family Quilting Re-treat, which will be held at the community cen-ter most of the week. The Redd ladies come from all over the country to partici-
pate each year. This event is
by invitation only but some lucky folks have snagged an in-vite and will be
able to report back to you on the happenings. Noth-ing more fun than quilting – or almost nothing.
As for me, I’m waiting for Ma Nature to easy up a little on the water works (and I’m not complaining in the least!) so that I can go to “The Mountain” for a few days to enjoy the lush green there. ‘Tis almost summer – or so the calen-dar says.
Birds Festival makes some rare fi ndsSOUTHWEST COLORADO – “Neither wind, rain, sleet nor snow” became the motto of avid birdwatchers who participated in the 11th annual Ute Mountain Mesa Verde Bird-ing Festival the end of May. Despite the wet spring, tour participants gathered early each morning at the Cortez Cultural Center and boarded vans donated by several area entities. A dozen volunteer drivers chauffeured participants throughout fi ve counties and habitat areas including to Navajo Lake, Lost Canyon, Mesa Verde, McPhee Res-ervoir, Ute Mountain Tribal Park, McElmo Canyon, Bradfi eld Bridge, La Plata Riv-er, Upper Dolores River and Dolores River Canyon, Dove Creek, and Coalbed Creek in eastern Utah. An overnight carpool expedition explored scenic and cultural birding landscapes around Moab. In all, 21 local and regional avian experts provided their ser-vices as tour guides to enhance birding opportunities during the fi ve-day event. The 2015 birding festival’s 23 tours garnered a total of 166 species, a half-dozen more than the 2014 tally. A tour in the Yellow Jacket area revealed four summer tanagers and Lucy warblers feeding their young in the nest, a rare sighting. The Local Lakes tour chalked up two warbler species not observed during previous birding festivals – Amer-ican redstart and Townsend’s warbler. The fi rst confi rmed report of a Harris’s sparrow in Dolores County came from the Bradfi eld Bridge tour, which also captured the hon-or of sighting 80 species. While the Old Spanish Trail (West) tour did not see sharp-tailed or Gunnison sage grouse, the birders logged sage thrasher, which had been list-ed only once before in 2008. However, the Old Spanish Trail (East) tour again success-fully spotted acorn woodpecker, another rare Colorado species. The Weber Canyon tour observed a fox sparrow, not sighted since the 2005 festival. Dolores River Canyon’s tour tallied the golden-crowned kinglet and elusive brown creeper. Three different night tours scouted for owls around Cortez and Mancos and netted great-horned, fl ammu-lated, Northern faw-whet and Western screech owls. Mancos Owling tour also night-hawks. Shorebird sightings were minimal again this year, but willet and whimbral, generally uncommon, added to the 2015 tally. – Cortez Journal
Loving son, brother, heroCORTEZ – The rain held off, and the sun shined during a moving Memorial Day cer-emony honoring Spc. George Raymond Geer, a fallen soldier who graduated from Dolores High School. Geer’s family, local dignitaries, and a crowd of more than 100 citizens attended a dedication naming a new 60-acre natural area in Geer’s memo-ry, the Spc. George Raymond Geer Natural Area. The slice of wilderness within the Cortez City limits is home to foxes, deer, raptors, and the occasional mountain lion. On a sagebrush hill overlooking a lake and newly developed trail-system, a plaque was unveiled and the fl ag raised to honor Geer and all veterans who have served. As George’s father, Harold Geer spoke, the sun broke through the clouds, and a fl ock of geese fl ew low overhead. “He loved his community, and the people here helped to make him the man that he was,” Harold Geer said. The Blue Star Moms laid a wreath at the memorial, a Divine Blessing was given by a chaplain, “Taps” was played, and the Montezuma County VFW Post 5231 gave a traditional gun salute. Geer served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and was based at Camp Ramadi. He was killed in action on January 17, 2005. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Harold Geer said, “It is an honor to dedicate this park not just to him but to all those who served.” – The Dolores Star

Thirty-three years ago I passed through Monticello, Utah. During my short stay I met a man and fell in love. The night before I was to leave town he came to tell me goodbye, and he confessed his love for me and ask if I would stay with him. The circumstances weren’t right, or so I thought at the time. This is a decision I have regretted all these years. I never told him that I also had feelings for him. As time passed, his name slowly faded away, but my heart remembers the feeling all too well. I would like to know that he is well. Hopefully he will recognize my photo and contact me.
If anyone recognizes this person will you please pass this information on to him? He is of Mexican descent, in his sixties and he is approximately 5’11”. I would like to fi nd him if possible. Please email blgriffi [email protected]

On June 16, Goulding’s Lodge will host a special event with renowned pho-tographer David Muench for his new book: Monu-ment Valley: Navajo Na-tion Natural Wonder.
In Monument Valley, David captures this icon of the west and spiritu-al place for Navajo People like no one else. He has a
special, long-time connec-tion to, respect for, and has been photographing in Monument Valley for over 50 years. America’s mas-ter nature photographer has photographed thelandscape in all its gran-deur for over half a centu-ry. For him, every photo is a journey in perception, an exploration in seeing.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) an-nounced a reboot of its popular Child ID App, which provides parents with an easy way to elec-tronically store their chil-dren’s pictures and vital information to have on hand in case their kids go missing.
The application, which works on most Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, allows users to store up-to-date images and physical descriptions — like height, weight, birthmarks, etc. — that could help responders in the event of an emergency. The information is stored only on your device—not with your mobile provider or the FBI.
The latest version of the Child ID App contains up-dated features, including high-resolution image ca-pability, a default recip-ient fi eld (where you can enter your local police de-partment’s e-mail address, for example), and option-al automatic reminders to update your children’s
profi les. Current users of the
Child ID App are encour-aged to download the lat-est version for improved performance and capabil-ities. Please note that if you had been using an old-er version of the app (pri-or to 2.0), you will need to re-enter all relevant infor-mation after installing the update.
The app has been down-loaded more than 250,000 times since it was released, fi rst on iTunes in 2011 and then for the Android oper-ating system in 2012. The current version, released in April, has been down-loaded more than 50,000 times onto devices around the world.
The Child ID App also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specifi c guidance on what to do in those fi rst few cru-cial hours after a child goes missing.
For more informa-tion and to download, go to iTunes (for Apple), or Google (for Android).
SJC Sheriff ’s offi ce supports new Child ID app

For well over a centu-ry, Anglo explorers have visited Southwestern pre-historic Native American sites. Scholars argue that the signifi cance of pre-historic sites in Arizona and New Mexico in 1912 helped tip the balance of both territories towards statehood.
The public remains deep-ly interested in Southwest-ern archaeolo-gy but often needs a non-professional to interpret and synthe-size archae-ological fi nd-ings and re-ports.
B e g i n -ning with his book In Search of the Old Ones (1996), Da-vid Roberts has done just that, but with a crucial twist. Not content to just read about archaeology, Roberts vis-its sites, especially remote ones.
Roberts has helped cre-ate a genre of archaeologi-cal adventure tourism that requires four-wheel drive vehicles and backpacks for access and complicat-ed route-fi nding on steep cliffs and canyon ledges.
Now in a signifi cant se-quel to his earlier book, Roberts writes about cur-rent archaeological per-spectives on prehistoric Ancestral Puebloan and Fremont cultures as well as historic Navajo, Coman-che, and Puebloan people.
He covers a wide swath from the Tavaputs Pla-
teau, Nine Mile Canyon, Range Creek, and Cedar Mesa in Utah; to Can-yon de Chelley in Arizona; Chaco Canyon, Santa Fe Canyon, and Puye Ruins in New Mexico; and even a visit to Casas Grandes in northern Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Lost World of the One Ones pays homage to 19th and 20th century ar-chaeologists, but Roberts’ real contribution is to de-
scribe 21st c e n t u r y Southwest-ern archeol-ogy.
We enjoy del ightful discussions and heat-ed argu-ments with s c i ent i s t s like Jeffrey Dean, Flor-ence Lister, Scott Ort-man, Steve Lekson, Bill
Lipe, and Eric Blinman.
Roberts introduces the reader to crusty rancher Waldo Wilcox, who pre-served one of the most im-portant Fremont sites in the West, to guides and climbers Vaughan Haden-feldt and Greg Child, and to researchers like Fred Blackburn, who advocates for an “open museum” policy on public lands by leaving artifacts in situ or in place. The goal for the dedicated hiker is to earn your own discoveries.
Roberts extols the read-er with the thrill of fi nding artifacts in place and the ever increasing challenge to leave them alone. He feels that some places like Cedar Mesa are “teetering
on the edge of a cultural and environmental crisis” because of too much visi-tation while admitting it is one of his favorite plac-es too.
The book is full of in-sights on Durango’s 8th century Sacred Ridge (part of the Animas La Plata Water Project), mys-teries and answers about the Fremont people, and the power of the Tewa language to help map the Anasazi migration from the greater Mesa Verde region.
A favorite chapter de-scribes the Fremont cul-ture’s rare Pilling unfi red clay fi gurines and the Tel-luride blanket, the only colored or dyed Anasazi weaving known to exist.
Roberts condemns pot-hunting or illegal artifact collecting, but also sharp-ly criticizes archaeologists who do not publish their research results and who may collect hundreds or thousands of potsherds for later analysis, thus de-stroying the context where the sherds were found.
“Meaning is nothing you can put in a plastic bag,” Roberts argues.
The reader also learns much about David Rob-erts, his attitudes, experi-ences, and ideas, perhaps too much at times, but one also gains an enormous amount about the South-west and its vast archae-ological landscape.
Roberts writes about “cutting-edge archaeology” mixed with his own “back-country adventures” and adds, “yet a genuine di-lemma lies at the heart of this controversy . . . I had to realize that I was as much to blame as anyone for the burgeoning popu-
larity of Cedar Mesa.” Groups of “ruins-bag-
gers” traverse the South-west. Bumper stickers pun “My life is in ruins.”
This reviewer sympa-thizes with Roberts’ con-cerns. When a writer has an unparalleled authen-tic experience fi nding a re-mote defensive Anasazi site on a windy Utah cliff ledge with a 600-foot drop off, it is hard not to write about it.
Unmediated experienc-es, without paved paths and National Park Service Rangers, are hard to fi nd. But as Roberts ruefully writes, sites now can be “swarmed over with chat-tering hikers who’ve been lured to the place by direc-tions in a published guide-book or by GPS coordi-nates posted on an Inter-net site.”
Roberts gives no direc-tions and names few sites. Instead, in his new book we share his thrill of dis-covery both on the ground and intellectually.
For Southwestern afi -cionados who have read Bill and Beth Sagstetter’s The Cliff Dwellings Speak, Craig Childs’ House of Rain, Steve Lekson’s The Chaco Meridian, and Da-vid J. Rommes and Wil-liam D. Lipe’s Cliff Dwell-ers of Cedar Mesa, Roberts’ new book The Lost World of the Old Ones deserves a place on the shelf.
The Lost World of the Old Ones is available at San Juan Record News and Books.
Andrew Gulliford is the editor of Outdoors in the Southwest: An Adventure Anthology (2014) and a professor of History and Environmental Studies and at Fort Lewis College.

Four Corners to Alaska or Alaska to Four Corners?Dear Editor:
I believe Maggie Boyle Judi has the part about the Navajo traveling from the Four Corners to Alaska wrong. According to a Navajo friend, the Navajo ancestors came from Alaska to the Four Corners area. You need to talk to Lucille Hunt or Robert McPherson about that. Lucille told me the Navajo tradition was they came from the North and were told to never come back. Years ago, the Athabaskans asked the Na-vajo in the Four Corners to come to Canada to visit and learn of their history, but the elders refused to do so because they were told by their ancestors to not go back. Lu-cille said after much discussion, it was found that the Northern ancestors had simply said they would never see their fellow tribe members if they went South and that was turned into the command to never return by the people that moved South.
They fi nally went to Canada and found out that they spoke a nearly identical lan-guage and had many of the same traditions and teachings. I think Lucille went on one of the trips and maybe Calvin as well.

Researching bridges in the Four Corners areaDear Editor:
I am currently researching bridges in the Four Corners as part of a book I’m pre-paring to write regarding the history of river boating on the San Juan River. I have boated/rafted the San Juan since 1968 and remember the old bridge quite well. In fact, I walked out on it with other folks several times and would tell a similar story to yours about a truck falling through in 1952, but we always heard it was carrying a large compressor. The bridge had a sign posted saying six ton limit, and the truck in my version was nine ton, and the driver leaped from truck as it, along with large com-pressor, was dumped in the river. So, could you provide me your source for the truck hauling a bobcat tractor? My source lived in Bluff at the time.
Also, and this is MY personal account: In the spring of 1975 on our fi rst river trip of the season, the bridge timbers with huge spikes sticking out and coils of cable were in the river and created quite a gnarly obstacle course to navigate rubber boats past for rest of that river season. We talked to whoever was the owner of record (?) of the San Juan Inn, and he said that the bridge just collapsed on its own one night dur-ing the winter of 1974-75. It was NOT dismantled as you mentioned in your story, it just gave out. No one was hurt that I know of, but maybe some river-boater punched a hole in their boat if not paying attention to the bridge debris. By the following riv-er season, we couldn’t fi nd much remnants, but some cable made its way 2.5 miles downstream to Mendenhall Loop, and in low water we found bridge junk for sever-al more years. There was never any obvious attempt to my knowledge of anyone “dis-mantling” the old suspension bridge, but would like to know your source of info re-garding this as well.
And by the way, you didn’t mention when the fi rst bridge (that burned) was built, nor when the second bridge was built and I’d be very much interested in that as well.
Finally, in my researching bridges, I found one source that says the existing “new” bridge was built in 1953 and is on list of Historical Bridges in the State of Utah; how-ever, UDOT shows the bridge being completed in 1954; I wonder which date is cor-rect? A minor discrepancy, but still…
I live in Bluff (since 1991), but have been a river runner and co-author of a river guide of the San Juan published in 1986, so my personal observations of river condi-tions go back 47 years now. Anyhow, hope to hear from you re: my many questions/comments, and I’ll look again later today for the article online, as maybe it’s just not up yet.

Read about history of Recapture CanyonDear Editor:
If you are interested in the history of Recapture Canyon and what really has gone on in this canyon fi lled with “the nations irreplaceable archaeological treasures” (BLM statement after the conviction), fi nd a Volume 34, Spring 2006 Blue Moun-tain Shadows and, starting on page 26, read “Recapture – A Legendary Canyon by A. Daniel Shumway.
There is no information on the what and why of the 1986 50 foot wide right-of-way that the two convicted San Juan County folks rode, with permission, but you can de-termine if there could have been any Archaeological damage caused on the pipeline road by the ATV ride. (Note in the article, mining equipment went up and down this same road from about 1991 to 2001.)
You can understand how used the canyon has been by all people. How it is the old-est roadway in San Juan County and was used for travel and recreation until 2.5 miles of trail and several miles of county road was “temporary” closed by the BLM to only ATV and motorized travel in 2007.
The permit to mine is still in place, as is moving cattle up and down the canyon, also going into the “ruins” by any other method of travel. The Water Conservatory Water Master can and does drive that same pipeline road by pickup or ATV on a regular ba-sis to check the condition of the 27” pipe buried underneath it.
The article was published in Blue Mountain Shadows before the section of trail and road was declared off limits to ATV in 2007.

No need for BLM projectDear Editor:
In a Letter to the Editor in your paper April 24, 2015, Mr. Lewis Kay Shumway dis-cussed a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) project. I recently got the available in-formation on that project mailed to me via certifi ed mail.
The full title of the project is: Blanding East Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Wa-tershed/Vegetation Restoration Project. I am a hiker and have hiked hundreds of places in the greater Blanding area, including within the proposed project area. I fi nd the title to be “misleading” to say the least.
“Hazardous fuels reduction.” In a mature Pinyon/Juniper forest as that east of Blanding is, there is no “hazardous fuel”. Many of the Junipers are two to 300 years old and have not been burned. One can occasionally fi nd some burned wood or char-coal but that is from a tree that was struck by lightning and burned WITHOUT BURNING OTHER TREES AROUND IT. There are no understory plants to carry the fi re. The BLM plan would change that.
“Watershed/Vegetation Restoration.” In the description, the BLM states that Pin-yon/Juniper forests have encroached on sagebrush and grasslands. In a timeline of 10,000 years, that may be true but not in the last 300 years. There is no “Restora-tion” to be done. If there is a place where they are “encroaching”, it is because they were cleared out in the last 100 or so years. The forests today are as nature built them (minus some Juniper posts). They are stable, no fi re hazard, and control soil erosion better than any way BLM could manufacture.
Any attempt at “Fuels Reduction” or “Restoration” will only cause more problems, which will require constant management (read taxpayers dollars) and leave an un-stable watershed.
The proposed area is well known for archaeological sites, including some large ones and should be left alone. Large equipment can ruin a site before it is seen and hand work can damage sites. Opening up the forest to more sunlight and rain will expose these now naturally protected sites to erosion. The historic and prehistoric resourc-es should be protected by staying out and leaving the forest the way it is.
There is no need for this project, and I hope people will tell the BLM to cancel it. Comments on the EA are due in the BLM offi ce by June 25, 2015.

Get behind those now waiting to be sentencedDear Editor:
I am not extremely well versed in all aspects of the case. I admittedly do not sub-scribe to the San Juan Record (being allergic to newsprint). However, I am aware that there are those who have been convicted of that which should not have been con-sidered a crime, and I think it’s really important to disassociate ourselves from con-tention about peripheral issues that aren’t (what I think) arguable in this forum – or at least shouldn’t be. They are not my friends, I am not ‘related’, the one I am re-motely sort-of acquainted with I am not sure even likes me very well or much at all! I am not emotionally or fi nancially connected to those this letter applies to, that I know of.
The intent and motivation of those bearing the brunt of offi cial displeasure weren’t doing this for a lark or merely to be rebellious for the sake of rebellion. Whether or not we disagree with the action, it seems to be we should, as a community, be able to clearly see they were acting in support of the overall community. We know, it is ob-vious, that an attempt that increases encroachment of federally controlled land in Utah, including San Juan County whether you fi nd it alarming or not, is a fact that it is planned. Land should not be taken from a constituency, it should be voted on, and over time, I think other various uncomfortable to really unpleasant things have hap-pened along the way, in relation to a certain amount of tug of war which should not even be taking place.
It’s diffi cult for ‘grassroots’ people to cover every occurrence, every objectionable ac-tion. Apparently, Recapture was considered one that appeared doable and worth do-ing. The people who protested the Recapture thing, those who have been targeted, cannot remotely be construed to having done this from selfi sh motivation. We should appreciate their efforts and the purpose behind them, even if we have the opinion that it was foolish, or ‘disobedient to recognized authority’…whatever might cause us to disagree with the action itself, I fail to see how anyone in San Juan County should not feel thankful that there are those here who are willing to stand up and do the hard part for the rest of it. There were hundreds. Thank you.
I appreciate all those who were there to walk/ride the right-of-way they received permission to travel on previous to that day. But not all of them are being convicted of federal offense.
Whatever our separate opinion is about specifi c method: We should get behind those who are now waiting to be sentenced from a court that did not seem to allow all evidence from the side of the defense. That is a red fl ag right there! But whatever the court is or is not, we should not allow them to stand alone against it. We should write our representatives, maybe asking that there is some investigation into the ju-risprudence involved, or clemency in consideration of the motivation behind the ac-tion, that it was not destructive in any way…whatever point the writer feels perti-nent and hopefully convincing.
And if there is a fi ne, there should be accounts set up at local bank(s) so that the people of San Juan County (anyone else so inclined) as a community can share in the burden by donation. We might not be able to go to jail with them if that is part of their punishment, after everything is said and done, but we can donate fi nancially to pay the fi ne incurred when they were sticking up for us in what they viewed should be our rights and privileges to enjoy the beauties of wilderness around us.
The amounts might be overwhelming, but how much less overwhelming for the overall community, than for the targeted people and their families to shoulder the fi -nancial burden of what they tried to do for us, all by themselves!

Very successful fundraiserDear Editor:
On June 6, the owners of Homestead Restaurant, Sharon and Gary, held a very suc-cessful fundraiser on behalf of Monte Wells and Phil Lyman.
The abundance of community members, family members and friends who all came together to support these two men as well as their families, was remarkable as well as inspirational.
The fundraiser was very successful, with the huge amount of support they received. The Navajo taco dinner was especially delicious. You could see the love this small town has for one another by the numbers of those who attended that day, or partici-pated in other ways.
It is comforting to see people supporting others for who they are personally. Sup-porting those who support the community is something this area has become known for, and should be proud of.
Having the opportunity to get to know at least one of these two men very personal-ly and his family has been a great privilege. Buying a $20 Navajo taco dinner plate was the least we could do to stand behind them and support them.
Their generosity goes beyond the recent events and is representative of how they have been prime examples of the community.

Miscellany. A few hodgy-podgy items this week.
All-SportsEach year, the Deseret
News recognizes the High School All-Sports Champi-ons, the top overall high school athlet-ic programs in each of the high school classifi cations in Utah.
Schools earn points ac-cording to their placing in each of the 94 state cham-pionships, 10 for fi rst, eight for second, six for third, fi ve for fourth and so on down to one point for eighth in a sports state championship.
For 37 years the award has been given, with Mon-ticello winning six times in 1A and San Juan two times in 2A. Monticel-lo was at the top of the 1A heap often in the ear-ly days of the award, win-ning six times in nine years in the 80s and ear-ly 90s, but has not won the award since 1991-92.
San Juan fi rst won in 2A in 2000-2001 and most recently in 2010-2011, a year when the Broncos won three state champion-ships, football, volleyball and softball, and placed second in both girls and boys cross country.
This year the Broncos placed ninth; with a sec-ond in softball; third in football, volleyball and girls cross country; fourth in girls tennis and boys track; fi fth in boys ten-nis; and eighth in boys basketball and girls golf. The Broncos also ruled in 2000-2001, when the boys won both the football and baseball state champion-ships.
Richfi eld has been the most dominant athletic program in 2A, with ten titles, though Manti won this year’s 2A version.
Monticello has placed high numerous times, par-ticularly in the last 19 years, since 1A has been dominated by two pro-grams, the Panguitch Bob-cats and the St. Joseph Jayhawks, who have each won eight all-sports titles in the last 19 years.
The only school to break through the Bobcat and Jayhawk dynasties is Wa-terford, who won the ti-
tle three years in a row in 2000s. Waterford and St. Joes participate in three sports that most other 1A schools do not, tennis, soc-cer and swimming, giv-
ing them three extra o p p o r t u n i -ties to gather points.
Even so, Panguitch broke St. Joes seven-year reign at the top this year with a dominat-ing performance highlight-ed by fi ve state champion-ships, including four by the girls, cross country, volley-ball, basketball and track.
Monticello has consis-tently been in the top fi ve nearly every year, the past two placing second. The Buckaroo boys, in fact, have been the top point scoring 1A boys teams the past two years.
This year, the Bucks had one state championship in boys XC, their fourth in a row; thirds in football, bas-ketball, and wrestling; with the girls adding a third in volleyball and fourth in girls cross country.
MascotsTalking about the St.
Joes Jayhawks reminds
me of last week’s arti-cle about new high school mascots.
Sportshorts talked about two new high schools in Cache Valley that are working to fi nd names and mascots. One of the new schools, in Millville, will become the Ridgeline Riv-erHawks. There is no such thing as a river hawk, as there is no such thing as a jayhawk, the St. Joseph mascot.
The jayhawk is a combi-nation of a blue jay, who is noisy, obnoxious and tends to pilfer from other bird nests, and a sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunt-er. The original jayhawks were abolitionists in Kan-sas, who would sneak into Missouri during the Civil War and bring slaves back to Kansas to be free. The University of Kansas was the fi rst school to have the moniker Jayhawks.
Another new high school in Lehi will open its doors in 2016. The search for a name and mascot end-ed recently with the name Skyridge Falcons receiv-ing the most votes.
Other choices were Cen-tury or Ridgepoint High
Schools with Spartans or Panthers as mascots. Sportshorts kinda likes the Falcons. Don’t think there are any other Falcon mascots in Utah.
Since I’m sure you’re in-terested, I don’t mind tell-ing you that there are 79 different mascot names in the 134 Utah high schools. Eagles, Tigers and Mus-tangs are the most popu-lar mascot names with six each.
Five schools have War-riors as mascots and four have Wildcats. Eight mas-cots boast three schools each: Panthers, Rams, Hawks, Lions, Miners, Bobcats, Bulldogs, and Cougars.
The Buckaroos and Bron-cos are two of 47 schools whom are the only ones in Utah with those mascots. Seven Utah schools are the only ones in the entire USA with their mascots: the Davis Darts, Carbon Dinos, Escalante Moquis, Manti Templars, Rowland Hall Winged Lions, Fre-
mont Silver Wolves and the Riverton Silverwolves. (That’s really two, isn’t it?)
SS is still pulling for the Workin’ LaVerkins of La-Verkin High School, or the LaVerkin Workin’ La-Verkins, if it is ever built.
Here are some other real life mascots around the country, some head scratchin’ ones fer sher. The Laurel Hill Hoboes, the Fisher Bunnies, the Poca Dots, the New Berlin Pretzels, Rocky Ford Mel-oneers, Ridgefi eld Spud-ders, and the fearsome Blooming Prairie Awe-some Blossoms.
These fi ve SS kinda likes: Avon Old Farm Winged Beavers, the Orofi no Maniacs, the As-toria Fighting Fishermen, the Yuba City Honkers and the Chattanooga Cen-tral Purple Pounders.
Yeah! The Purple Pound-ers. That strikes fear and respect in your heart. But my favorite goes to my home state of Arkansas,
who sport the Arkansas School of the Deaf Leop-ards. Just thought you might like to know.
TrackDevin Wright, a former
Buckaroo and current Ag-gie, (do you know what an Aggie is? It isn’t a bull, by the way), recently com-peted in the West Prelim-inary NCAA track and Field meet.
Wright, who was named to the Academic All-Dis-trict VIII team, compet-ed in the event in Austin. Wright didn’t have his best meet of the year, how-ever, placing 46th, and not qualifying for the fi nals.
Wright fouled on his last of three throws and only managed a toss of 180 feet on his second throw, a full 28 shorter than his personal best of 208-09 he unleashed earlier this spring.
Wright fi nished fourth in the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a throw of 194-09.

The Four Corners School of Outdoor Educa-tion plans to complete con-struction in October on its new 48-acre campus – the Canyon Country Discov-ery Center (CCDC), locat-ed just north of the Mon-ticello city limits on High-way 191.
In 2002, the City of Mon-ticello proposed the idea of a hands-on science cen-ter in southeastern Utah to create new education-al and employment oppor-tunities for the area’s stu-dents, teachers, and fami-lies.
Over the following fi ve years, the idea was devel-oped and expanded by the City’s Economic Develop-ment Committee and its chosen partner, Four Cor-ners School of Outdoor Ed-ucation.
“The return on invest-ment from the new Can-yon Country Discovery Center to the Four Cor-ners School, to Monticello and to the surrounding ar-eas is signifi cant, as it will strengthen the local econ-omy and provide added so-cial benefi t,” said Kraig R. Black, Senior Relationship Manager at Wells Fargo Bank.
“These benefi ts began at groundbreaking with con-struction spending and additional wages. In a lo-cal economy with limit-ed sources of revenue and industry, the CCDC is po-sitioned to positively im-pact the area through job growth, education, and re-search.
“The CCDC will also pro-vide an additional reason for tourists to stop, stay
and spend money in Mon-ticello and in San Juan County.”
Black added, “The on-going economic and so-cial benefi ts to the area are jobs retained, student education, workforce de-
velopment/youth employ-ment programs, addition-al wages from new CCDC jobs and an increase in business activity.
“These benefi ts, in turn, increase tax revenue to the city and county. The lev-el of opportunity and in-crease in benefi ts is direct-ly tied to the efforts and effi ciency of management at Four Corners School and the ability of busi-nesses, individuals and government in Monticel-lo and the surrounding ar-eas to be proactive in pro-viding a great experience to those that come to the area as well as seize busi-ness opportunities as they present themselves.”
The potential return on investment to Monticel-lo and to San Juan Coun-ty is impressive. The Four Corners School at Canyon Country Discovery Center expects to attract 15,000 out-of-state visitors in en-try fees, with the average out-of-state visitor travel-ing in a party of fi ve.
A targeted media mar-keting campaign will aim
to retain out-of-state visi-tors for an average of three days and two nights, with the average person spend-ing $80 per day in lodging, food, accommodations, and miscellaneous activ-ities. These visitors will create an estimated $3.6 million dollars in econom-ic impact.
Other notable economic projections include:
• Creating 20 new jobs and the sustaining of 10 old jobs
• Filling 9,391 motel rooms annually
• Increasing TRT and Sales Tax $229,376 annu-ally
• Attracting 35,000 on-site visitors annually
• Seeing a one-time in-fl ux in wages from con-struction of nearly $2.2
million• Paying $862,449 in
annual wages for new jobs created and $431,389 for old jobs
• Producing an estimat-ed potential Social Return on Investment of $9.8 mil-lion annually
A tremendous opportu-nity awaits Monticello and San Juan County when the CCDC opens for the tourist season in Spring 2016.
Since it’s founding in 1984, Four Corners School of Outdoor Education has served more than 114,505 participants ranging in ages of six to 90. In addi-tion, their Canyon Coun-try Youth Corps has pro-vided over 265,000 hours of service on public lands.
Utah’s offi cial fi re season begins and the open burn-ing season offi cially ends each year on May 31. Fire danger will increase rap-idly as warmer and drier weather develops.
So far, tests are showing that despite the rainy May, moisture levels in heavier fuels are below average. Lighter fuels will continue to dry out as summer pro-gresses. As of today, June 1, open burning is prohib-ited without a permit.
The closed fi re season does not impact camp-fi res or backyard fi replac-es in areas where they are normally allowed; howev-er, caution is advised with any burning.
Campfi re restrictions on public lands are not cur-rently in effect, but much of the state is in a persis-
tent drought condition. Fire danger may increase to levels requiring bans in certain areas as the sea-son progresses depending on conditions.
As the summer recre-ation season gets under-way, fi re managers from the Utah Division of For-estry, Fire & State Lands, Bureau of Land Manage-ment, National Park Ser-vice, Fish & Wildlife Ser-vice and Bureau of Indian Affairs are promoting the message of fi re preven-tion.
Fire restriction an-nouncements, fi re safety tips and resources for pre-paring homes and proper-ty for wildfi re are avail-able at www.utahfi reinfo.gov. Follow Utah’s wild-land fi re agencies @Utah-Wildfi re.

232 EAST CENTER STREET, MONTICELLO
Mary Corinne (Nielson) Roring, age 87, passed away in South Jordan, Utah on June 4, 2015. She was born January 23, 1928 in Moab, UT, the daugh-ter of Floyd W a l t o n Nielson and Clara Mack-e l p r a n g Jones.
She grew up in a home with hard work-ing parents. Her father, Floyd, was a rancher and Clara was by his side raising their fi ve c h i l d r e n . They lived in Blanding, UT.
Corinne grew up caring for chickens, gathering eggs, milking cows, sepa-rating cream, and caring for a large garden. She learned to preserve the garden produce by canning and drying everything they grew. Nothing went to waste. She learned at a very young age to work and work hard.
Her life was full of work in and out of her home. She held several positions including working at Paul Black’s service station,
employed as a secretary at the Ura-nium Mill, selling deer l i c e n s e s , waitressing, and owning and operat-ing Monti-cello Floral.
Corinne’s work ethic extended to her studies. She gradu-ated from B l a n d i n g High School, then went on to Utah State Uni-
versity. In later years she earned a degree from the College of Eastern Utah on the Blanding campus.
While working in Mon-ticello, she met John Ed-ward Roring, a former marine and cotton farm-er. John spent the sum-mers in Monticello clear-ing and farming the land he had purchased. During the cold Monticello win-
ters, he returned home to work in Mississippi.
Corinne and John dat-ed on and off every sum-mer. After a fi ve-year ro-mance, they married and made their home in Mon-ticello, UT. Corinne and John worked side-by-side on their farm for over 51 years.
Corinne’s most cherished work was inspired by her love of San Juan County history. She was instru-mental in putting togeth-er funds for local students to receive scholarships, which helped many to re-ceive a college education.
Corinne began photo-graphing old pictures of San Juan residents and their homes. As a result, she preserved thousands of pictures and histories.
However, her most im-portant contribution to San Juan history has been the realization of her vi-sion of the reconstruction of the site of the Old Bluff Fort; including the Co-op store and other adjacent historical buildings.
The Fort restoration started with the purchase of the last remaining cabin in Bluff – the Barton cab-in – and it grew and grew from there. Corinne was the founder of the Bluff Fort restoration.
She was helped by other Hole-in-the-Rock descen-
dants, volunteers, and es-pecially the Hole in the Rock Foundation board members, and many full time LDS missionar-ies. They give tours and in-f o r m a t i o n about the Fort to in-terested vis-itors from around the world.
She said that the sto-ry of the Hole-in-the-Rock pioneers must be preserved and told so all generations may know of their valiant sacrifi ce and obedience. She often quot-ed her Danish grandfa-ther, “If ve have plenty of stickie-ta-tudy, ve cannot fail.”
This was her man-tra and was embedded into her very soul. In her own words, her only dis-appointment was, “Now when all the fun starts, I got old.”
Corinne was always concerned about others in need. She said, “You will never miss anything you give away in righteous-ness.”
Her example of charity positively affected those around her for years and
will always continue to do so. She cherished her fam-ily, friends, the missionar-ies, and her country. She
gave her all to her chil-dren and grandchil -dren and many, many others she cared about.
Corinne is survived by her children John Floyd ( T a m m y ) Roring, Jan-ie Kay (Jon) Lauritzen,
and Michael Nielson (Kel-lie) Roring; 13 grandchil-dren; 22 great-grandchil-dren with four more on the way.
We will see Corinne again and know that she is the center of a joyous re-union with her family and friends on the other side of the veil. We know she continues to strive to move the work forward and pre-serve the heritage of the past in her new capacity.
Memorial services will be held in Monticello, UT at the LDS Stake Cen-ter, 165 South Main, at noon on Saturday, June 13, 2015. Viewings will be from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, June 12 and 10-11:30 a.m. on June 13 at the church. Internment will be in the Monticello Cemetery.
We want to give a spe-cial thanks to McDougal Funeral Home for their kind services.

A sign and trails at Sal-vation Knoll is set to be dedicated at 10 a.m. on June 20. The dedicatory prayer will be offered by Michael Redd, president of the Blanding Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The small knoll, on Highway 95 about 29 miles west of Blanding, is where four lost scouts for the Hole in the Rock ex-pedition fi nally discov-ered where they were on Christmas Day, 1879. Af-ter wandering through the snow on Cedar Mesa,
they climbed the knoll and were able to see the Abajo Mountains.
The Hole in the Rock Foundation and oth-er groups have marked points along the Hole in the Rock trail, including Salvation Knoll. Located next to Highway 95, Sal-vation Knoll is one of the most easily visited sites along the trail.
Th Hole in the Rock expedition brought the fi rst permanent settlers to San Juan County in 1880. They settled in Bluff.

EXPERIENCEIf you don’t have a copy of this year’s 101 Ways to Experience San Juan County, they are available at area visitor’s centers and participating business.
#1 V ISI TOR CE N T E R SYour first stop before beginning a new adventure should be to one of the many visitor centers located throughout San Juan County.
#2 HU N T FOR LIZ A R DSSan Juan County is home to significantly more lizards than people. Just about any walk with kids quickly turns into a lizard hunt.
#3 RE-CREATE A MOVIE SCENEThis is your chance to re-create a local scene from the silver screen. The area has been featured in some of TV and Hollywood’s greatest efforts.
#4 SJ HILLLocated right alongside the San Juan River, San Juan Hill marks the final physical challenge faced by the San Juan pioneers before they reached their first settlement in Bluff.
#5 HOLE IN THE ROCK TRAILMormon settlers faced a formidable obstacle to cross the Colorado River and the rugged rocky terrain of the San Juan wilderness. The path was so rugged that retracing many of their steps today requires a jeep or ATV.
#6 V ISI T BLU F F FORTAfter an incredible amount of work, the Bluff Fort has been brought back to life. Imagining the tough life of those settlers isn’t hard as you view their covered wagons, hand-built log homes, and meetinghouses.
#7 NAT U R A L BR I DGE SNatural Bridges features three bridges that have been formed by millions of years of water and wind erosion. The monument features a visitor center, an impressive solar array to provide power to the park and many interesting hikes.

If you read the story about the Blanding South Chapel dedication last week, you may be inter-ested in hear-ing one little story connect-ed to it, told to me by Brother Black about Brother Hurst. (I don’t have to change the names to protect the in-nocent; in Blanding those names are so common as to make the participants nearly anonymous.)
One has to be famil-iar with the layout of the pews in the South Chapel in order to understand the story. There is the main slanted fl oor portion, hold-ing two sections of fam-ily size benches, divided by a middle aisle. Then, separated by thick balus-trades, this middle sec-tion is lined on either side by two corresponding sec-tions of smaller benches.
Now, if you can imagine the setting, this is how the story goes:
Brother Black (who gen-erally sat on the west side of the chapel) noticed that
after sever-al decades ofBrother Hurstsitting on oneof the small,eastside pews,all of a sudden
he began sitting on a fam-ily bench, directly in front of the pulpit. Curious, he asked Brother Hurst what had happened to change his routine.
“My wife and I moved up to the side benches af-ter our family were raised and gone,” Brother Hurst said (a practice not un-common among members of the congregation).
“And, as the older people who generally sat in the front of the pews passed away, we just kept moving forward. Then, one day, I realized I was sitting on the front bench. I decid-ed I didn’t want to be next in line to die, so now I’m sitting down in the middle section again.”
Phew the pews
Life in a Nutshell
by Terri Winder
For decades there has been widespread specula-tion that Native American culture and traditional art forms are dying.
At Twin Rocks Trading Post we often see indica-tions that something is in the air; a basket weaver de-cides it makes more sense to pursue a nurs-ing career, an-other “retires” because cash fl ow is in-adequate to pay mount-ing bills, and this younger generation does not learn the craft because it takes too long to develop neces-sary techniques.
It is diffi cult to argue that education is some-how less important than keeping tradition alive, or that artists should perse-vere in spite of low wages. It is also hard to convince people to learn a skill that takes years to develop and, in the beginning at least, pays less per hour than an entry level job at the con-venience store.
Although I have often contemplated the loss of traditional crafts, until recently I had not given much thought to the po-tential extinction of Indi-an traders. Yes, I have no-ticed trading has changed, but our post is evidence the profession is alive and well. Or is it?
On a recent summer af-ternoon, as the temper-ature in Bluff soared, I stood behind the trading post counter talking to a customer about the histo-ry of trading in the South-west and trying to keep my perspiration in check.
As the conversation wound down, my compan-ion commented, “Yes, trad-ing is a dying art.”
It took me a moment to realize what he had said, and several days to sort through the implications of his statement.
Since, in many ways, I came to the “art” of trad-ing through the back door, and because my trading credentials do not hold up under close scrutiny, I have always been fasci-nated by the legendary In-dian traders.
Hoping to uncover the secrets to their success, I have studied books on Hubbell; visited the Hub-bell home and post in Ganado, AZ; and learned what I could about oth-er notable trading opera-tions.
Quite often, what I dis-covered led me to conclude the early traders were suc-cessful because they loved the culture, art and people; the profi t motive was sec-ondary. It also became ap-parent those traders em-braced change and readily incorporated it into their business plan.
Several years ago, the University of Utah Press published a book on the Farmington, NM trad-er Will Evans. The sur-prisingly well-written text is entitled Along Navajo Trails, Recollections of a Trader.
When the marketing copy arrived, I took a look. The book confi rmed what I had already begun to be-lieve, that while the Nava-jo people and the trading post system have changed dramatically over the past century, the founding prin-ciples are unaltered.
In the introduction to
the book, focusing on the winter of 1917 when Ev-ans was just starting his trading career, the ed-itor states, “[Evans] realize[d]... the Navajo culture is dynamic and is moving increasingly into the white man’s world.
Even the trad-ing post, which allows Nava-
jos to remain on the reservation to ship and sell
their wares, is an institution of change...
“A trader and his post are the center and heart of the Navajo communi-ty. He is their creditor, ad-visor, and at times, their midwife and undertaker.”
Although Navajo culture and art are changing, they are not dying. Instead, Na-vajo people are continu-ing the evolutionary pro-cess they have engaged in for centuries, moving into new realms and leaving behind those aspects not relevant to contemporary society.
The primary character-istic that has allowed Na-vajo people to thrive in this harsh physical, social, economic and political en-vironment is their ability to adapt to changing cir-cumstances.
That was the case when the fi rst posts were es-tablished, and that is the case today. Navajo people are agents of change, and trading posts have had to move with them. The evo-lution is inevitable.
Those of us observing Native Americans from afar are inclined to freeze them in the amber of the past rather than recogniz-ing and celebrating the changes they are experi-encing. Their ability to innovate and adapt has brought some extremely interesting developments to Southwest art.
Although I am confi dent certain aspects of the cul-ture will be lost, I am just as sure there are new and exciting developments ahead.
Trading posts are expe-riencing the same evolu-tionary migration as the Navajo. No longer do they sell fl our, beans, peach-es and coffee. In fact, the posts of today look noth-ing like those of Hubbell, Moore and Cotton.
Last Saturday, howev-er, I was reminded that we still play the same role when I picked up the tele-phone and heard the voice on the other end say, “Hey Steve, we’re hungry. I need to borrow a hundred dollars until my basket is done?”
“Come on in,” I replied, “We can’t have hungry children.”
Out here on the Nava-jo trail, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
It’s a dying art

Dallin Redd, owner of the local Redds Ace Hard-ware in Blanding, has been awarded the 2015 Young Retailer of the Year by the North American Retail Hardware Associa-tion (NRHA).
The Young Retailer of the Year award is given to owners, age 35 and young-er, who are members of the organization. More than 30,000 businesses are part of the NRHA.
Redd received the award, in part, due to sig-nifi cant expansion to the business, including the new addition that looks to add 8,000 square feet to his business. It will also bring his Subway fran-chise under the same roof as the hardware store.
Redd said, “The store has stood on the same cor-ner of the town for almost as long as the town it-self has been in existence. So many of the people of Blanding have grown up
shopping at our store or have worked at our store. These deep roots have cre-ated strong memories and nostalgia for the people of this community.”
Redd took over the busi-ness in 2010, when he bought it from his father. He is the latest owner of a family store that goes back four generations to the early 1900’s.
The store was original-ly founded as a co-op and was then bought by Redd’s great-grandfather, Parley Redd. It is the oldest con-tinuous running business in San Juan County.
Redd says this unique tie to the community makes him feel that the store belongs to the people of Blanding as much as it does to his family.
The NRHA stated that Redd’s focus on improv-ing the employee culture, along with an increase of inventory, has lead to net sales increasing by 44 per-cent since he has taken over operations.
