May
we be ever vigilant, as we no longer have the luxury of anonymity.
May we be ever studying,
as we learn to better protect our freedoms.
May we be ever present, and ready to do the
work that requires our Rural American hearts.
Eva Workman, SOS officer: May 6 ~ Bears Ears Rally
n From Gail Dalton
Johnson: “Following Interior Secretary Zinke's visit to
the Bears Ears region this week there will be an opportunity for the public to
comment on the review of the national monument beginning on May 12th. This
is a unique opportunity for the public, and especially local voices, to give
input on a decision that will heavily impact those who live in and around the
national monument area.
The comment period opens (Friday, May 12th), but we are
unsure when Secretary Zinke will make his recommendation on Bears Ears. We
strongly encourage everyone to make substantive comments and take advantage of
this opportunity to shape public policy and the management of public
lands.

n It is important that everyone submit
public comment related to Bears Ears: and Other Monuments being reviewed. Zinke and President Trump both strongly believe
that local input is a critical component of federal land management. Do You?
Send it this weekend if possible. Online
you have 5000 characters you can use.
Plus you can add photos/ maps etc.

Reporters often have to do heavy duty research, and
stick their necks out to defend the truth.
One such dogged individual is Jim Stiles, publisher of The Canyon Zephyr. He has provided us much
needed information and help in fighting this Bears Ears Battle. Now it’s our turn to help him. Learn more about the case, and then
contribute if you feel you can. Go to http://moab84532.wixsite.com/moabtransparency
