Bear Essentials Jan. 12, 2017



To Do List this week:                       
1.  Write a Letter to President Trump clearly stating your support for overturning the monument designation and why. Deliver to Kara Laws Illuminated Moments (just south of post office -mail slot in door) by Jan 18.  Our goal is 300 letters. Out of towners, e-mail to savebearsears@gmail.com
2.  This is Critical! Take County Survey regarding land resources.  Must be done before Jan. 25.
http://sanjuancountyplan.org/   Send this information to other San Juan County friends and family who haven’t participated.  We must rally the troops and be active citizens in this effort to protect San Juan County lands. All of Utah is responding, and our voices must show strong. 
4. Read Gail Johnson’s Flushed repost from Range Magazine (on my blog) This shows how agriculture has been harmed in other countries by “government reform.”
5.  These two articles from Range Magazine are also very good. Please read:  Tales from the Wasteland:  ….and Monumental Megabucks

It is important that we help educate all those helping in this effort.  Some people speak out with no real knowledge.  An informed citizenry is our best weapon and there is plenty of truthful ammunition to use.  Keep reading! 

Bearing Good News:


1.     President Trump open to Bears Ears Roll Back?  Thanks to our congressmen, especially Mike Lee, the door has been opened introducing this option.   Lee argued that “what can be done through unilateral executive action can also be undone the same way.” Read more:

  2.  Believe it or not, there is a Navajo Nation Republican Party and many of our issues, are theirs as well.  Follow them on Facebook.

---------------------------------------------------
And now for some humor, which we all need once-in-awhile, when the muck of lies gets deep.  A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when  suddenly a brand-new 2016 BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust. The  driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly  how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"                               
Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"                                
 
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his  Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Apple i phone, and surfs to a NASA  page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on  his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area  in an ultra-high-resolution photo.                                 

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an
image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.                                                           Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple iPad that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with  email on his Galaxy S5 and, after a few minutes, receives a response.                                                            
 
Finally, he prints out a full-color,150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the  cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and
calves."                                                                                           
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says
Bud.                                                            
  
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.                               

Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I  can tell you exactly what your business is,
will you give me back my calf?"                                                             
The young man thinks about it for a second  and then says, "Okay, why not?"                                 
 
"You're from the Environmental Protection Agency", says Bud.                                                            
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?"                                                              
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know sh*t about how working people
make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.”                                                             
“Now give me back my dog."  
AND THAT, FOLKS, IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.. Thanks Brent and Susan Flavel
