Going Wild

Holiday In Wales When an issue is complex or too hot to handle, the time-honored politician's escape hatch is to appoint a task force. That is what Mike Leavitt, just before cleaning out his desk, did to assuage the outdoor retailers, who are miffed that he cut a deal with U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton earlier this year that removed millions of acres in Utah from consideration for federal wilderness protection.

St. Director of Tourism Since 1998 Mr. Peter Hilary Modeste has served, as the Director of Tourism of the St. Lucia Tourist Board. President of the St. Lucia Hotel & Tourism Association, Mr. Modeste has been employed within the tourism sector for a number of years. He was educated at the University of Wales and is married with three children. A former Minister of Education, Mr. Modeste has served on a number of national organizations including the St. Lucia Development Bank.

They have threatened to take their business elsewhere if Utah's governor, now Olene Walker, does not pursue policies that are friendlier to their customers -- the hikers, kayakers, climbers, back-country skiers and minimalist campers who buy state-of-the-art outdoor gear. You could bet your last carabiner that these folks support the protection of more acres in Utah as wilderness, not fewer.

Cottage Holiday In Wales Walker isn't apt to depart from Leavitt's position on wilderness, which is to protect an additional 3.2 million acres of federal land in Utah as wilderness. In this debate, that is middle ground. The extremes are no new wilderness and, on the other side, the 9 million acres sought by some environmental groups.

Plans are already underway to pay tribute to this beloved part of the island's history says the Aruba Tourism Authority.

We share the outdoor retailers' concern that by cutting his deal with Norton, Leavitt removed millions of acres of worthy lands from consideration for official wilderness designation by Congress.

Camping Holiday Wales When the former governor announced the executive order creating the task force, he also asked the state planning coordinator to use whatever tools are at his disposal to protect lands which are 5,000 contiguous acres or more in size, are roadless, and have wilderness characteristics. Except for the words "untrammeled by man," that is virtually the definition of federal wilderness.

Those jobs include marketing the outdoor industry in Utah and identifying the state's premier recreation destinations. Perhaps the most valuable thing the task force can do is to bring rural county commissioners and outdoor industry groups together to figure out ways for local economies to profit from outdoor recreation and pay for searches and rescues.

Assuming, of course, that governments are wise enough to protect that wilderness, not only for Utahns but for all Americans.
