Bear Essentials* March 24, 2017



n  Republican Lincoln Day Dinner Thursday March 30, in Monticello at the Hideout Community Center, 6 PM.  Representative Mike Noel will be the keynote speaker. He is such a strong ally in the land battle we are engaged in.  If you haven’t heard him speak, you need to come, listen and learn.  Call Cody Nielson for reservations 435-979-3027. They are also helping Stewards of San Juan with a raffle that night, so  plan to buy tickets which will help us with advertising costs.

Bad News Bears
Native Tribes set to do battle over Bears Ears.  Sandy Johnson, and Mary Jane Yazzie interviewed in this story.
ATV Trail Plans derailed by Environmental group Deseret News A proposal to put in a 6.4 mile all-terrain vehicle loop in the Indian Creek region at the Bears Ears Monument was derailed by the new designation after environmental groups won a stay delaying any of the work to begin this spring.
Those concerned about the devastating wildfires can visit www.ClarkCountyProud.com to see what the needs are and where to donate. 
The Kansas Livestock Association is accepting donations of feed, fencing supplies and cash for all ranchers who’ve lost fencing, forage resources, harvested feed and an undetermined number of cattle in the blazes across Kansas. To donate, visit  www.kla.org/donationform.aspx

Federal Withdrawal of resource rich lands also impacts Minnesota  “If enacted, the withdrawal proposal would cause the state to lose thousands of potential jobs from future mining projects, billions of dollars in future investment in Northeastern Minnesota, and billions of dollars of potential revenue to support the state’s K-12 education system. . . .
The proposed withdrawal is not based on science or any specific project. It will not make a project better, and it will not improve the environment. The unproven concerns raised by Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service are based only on hypothetical and unfounded fears of generalized impacts from mining.”
