State's Wildland Urban Interface Award Goes to Rich County Commissioner
Salt Lake City - Rich County Commissioner, Bill Cox was awarded the 2019 Annual Wildland Urban Interface Award on November 5th. The award, given by the by the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands, recognizes Cox for his efforts to protect Rich County residents, their homes and the county's natural resources from the threat of wildfire. His work has made Rich County and its communities more fire-adapted.
Commissioner Cox's work as an organizer and leader has brought many of the county's Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan elements to reality. His leadership has led to expedited efforts in Rich County to reduce wildfire dangers in several communities. These efforts included fuel breaks, roadside thinning and chipping, as well as improved wildfire engine access. His direct involvement in wildfire incidents, such as the North Eden Wildfire of 2018, has been a critical connection between wildfire managers and county interests.
He has shown that through recognizing and acting upon opportunities for county resources to improve fire safety, multiple benefits would extend to homeowners and seasonal visitors. In addition, being fire-adapted would also improve opportunities for recreation-based businesses that benefit from having safe and scenic travel routes in the outstandingly remarkable landscape setting of the Bear Lake region.

Good Stuff!
The China Study
By John Brown
T. Colin Campbell grew up on a dairy farm, loved milk, loved meat, and started his career as a nutrition scientist thinking the cornerstone of good nutrition was high-quality animal protein—meat, milk, and eggs.
One of his first projects was for MIT, trying to help the chicken industry. Millions of chickens were dying each year from something toxic in their feed. What was the mystery killer? Campbell was responsible for isolating and determining the structure of the chemical. Through his work, he helped discover dioxin, one of the most toxic chemicals ever found.
After helping with that, he began work helping malnourished children in the Philippines. He wanted to find ways to help them get more protein in their diets, because, again, protein was supposed to be the cornerstone of health. Part of the project was remedying an unusually high incidence of liver cancer in children, which is normally an adult disease. At the time, they thought a lack of protein was leaving the children vulnerable to aflatoxin in their diet.
But as they began their scientific investigation, Campbell discovered the kids who ate the most protein had the highest rates of liver cancer.
But that just couldn’t be right.
And then he came across a study of rats and aflatoxin. The scientists in the study administered the cancer-causing aflatoxin to all of the animals. Half of the animals were then fed a diet with 5% protein. The other half were fed a diet with 20% protein. All of the animals fed a diet with 20% protein developed liver cancer. None of the animals fed a diet with 5% protein developed the cancer.
Again, that couldn’t be right. Protein was good for you. A respected colleague suggested the researchers must have mislabeled the animal cages. Campbell decided to run his own studies and find out. Back at Cornell, he and his research assistants ran the experiment multiple times and in various ways. And all of the experiments confirmed that protein promoted cancer growth. In fact, they could turn cancer growth on and off by the amount of protein they fed the animals.
But it wasn’t all protein. It was animal-based protein. The plant-based protein didn’t promote cancer growth.
Campbell was astounded. The findings rocked his world, but he was determined to follow the facts wherever they led. This began decades of research into diet and nutrition. The culmination was what’s called The China Study.
It is the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted. And what all of his decades of research demonstrated was that “People who ate the most animal-based foods got the most chronic disease. Even relatively small intakes of animal-based food were associated with adverse effects. People who ate the most plant-based foods were the healthiest and tended to avoid chronic disease.”
Campbell didn’t rest there. He sought out the findings of other researchers and clinicians. And what he found all demonstrates that “The same diet that is good for the prevention of cancer is also good for the prevention of heart disease, as well as obesity, diabetes, cataracts, macular degeneration, Alzheimer’s, cognitive dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and other diseases.”
What was the diet that showed such important results? A whole food plant-based diet. It’s a diet rich in legumes, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits with little or no meat, milk, and eggs.
Campbell has written a book for lay people like you and me that explains the science and findings called The China Study: Revised and Expanded Edition. It’s sold over two million copies.
The book is a fascinating masterwork of clarity. In it, he not only explains the research but also how and why various groups have tried to suppress and discredit the information.
Campbell is not some crazy quack. He isn’t someone selling pills and supplement drinks on the internet. He has no financial interest in you believing him. He is one of the foremost researchers on nutrition, a renowned scientist at Cornell University, who has worked as a senior science adviser to the American Institute for Cancer Research, sat on government nutrition panels, and is on the advisory board of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
If you or someone you love are worried about any of the following:
• Heart disease
• Cancer (breast, prostate, colon, liver, and others)
• Type 1 Diabetes
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Erectile dysfunction
• Multiple sclerosis
• Cataracts
• Macular degeneration
• Osteoporosis
• Alzheimer’s
I think you will be interested in hearing what he has to report. Of course, you’ll have to make up your own mind about the evidence he provides. But I think you owe it to yourself to hear what he has to say.

Update on UDOT plans for Garden City
Anita Weston, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. November 21, 2019. Mayor Mike Leonhardt reported that UDOT will be starting to spend the $8.3 million this coming spring. They are going to add a turning lane into the Marina. There will be another lane from the south to the north. It will act like a line-up-lane for cars wanting to turn into the Marina.
They will also be adding a turning lane into Harbor Village, a turning lane on to Third West, and another turning lane at the Mike’s Market/ACE Hardware area. They will do as much as they can with the money they have.
The four-way stop light at the intersection at Logan Road and Bear Lake Blvd. will be completed by May of this next year.
A runaway truck lane is going to also be completed by May. It will have 6 or 7 nets (wire). Usually, a big truck going 60 MPH can be stopped in one of these lanes by the 4th net. There will be concrete barriers on both sides of the lane.

Garden City Council reports

GARDEN CITY, Utah. November 21, 2019. Councilwoman Pat Argyle noted that there needs to be more activities for people in the area. She thought it might be good to bring in an artist who could teach people how to learn how to paint. It could be a class that could be held for an hour or two for perhaps four to six weeks.
Argyle reported that the tables that were ordered for Heritage Park have arrived. The are 8’ long and made of a strong metal.
She also asked that people be made aware that help is needed for Raspberry Days for next summer. Please, if you are interested or would like to help, contact her.
Councilman Ken Hansen felt that the community members need to be more aware of what is happening in the City so that they can take advantage of what is being offered. He said that the City should have an electronic marquee on the side of the road with a list of things that are taking place where and when.
Councilman Howard Pope reported that the trails need work. Several individuals worked for a full day on the trail and still there was more work that needed to be done. Since UDOT has taken more of the area at the top of the canyon for stopping trucks, there isn’t much room for parking for people interested in walking into the forest or Garden City Canyon. There needs to be more parking space in that area. Trails are important and need to be taken care of to keep people safe.
It was also noted that there needs to be a wind fence by the tunnel before the overpass at the top of the Canyon. There could be some real problems there if something isn’t done, Pope said.
Councilman Jordan Perry said that the swimming pool is now undergoing a good uplift. The area is painted blue. The rust places are taken care of.
New policies have been written for Aquatics Director Richard Monk to follow to keep things clean. Black striped lanes have been painted on the bottom of the pool so people can race with each other. Perry felt that there needs to be back up equipment for most of the equipment used in the pool area. That would help tremendously when problems occur.
The pool will be open on November 25 with a grand reopening with free swimming.
Hansen noted that the water system is doing fine. The have gotten two tanks connected into the water line. He said that the people working on the water project need to be especially careful when they connect lines on the corner by the Old Booth House. He said the pressure that will be there when the connection is made and will be tremendous and needs to be handled professionally and carefully.
The library had its new grand opening. All the new technology has been installed. Workers in the Library need to be noted for the good work that they are doing.
Mark Smoot, one of the members of the Chamber of Commerce said the Chamber of Commerce is doing good things, and the Council said that the Chamber is greatly appreciated with what they do in and for the community.
