From the President by Heidi Schubert Dear Club, My first event was a rainy Adopt-a-highway cleanup. I didn’t know my “difficulty” level but Last month we published a Membership I figured that no matter how buff the members Directory. In this list almost all of the members of the WMC were, I’d be able to pick trash with who are in a couple or partnership have an the best of them. Trash was indeed picked up. incorrect phone number. The error is mine In fact, one of the three of us there asked me and was made when trying to separate out the out on a date (after scouting me out in the sexy partners, who share a membership but have orange vest). I went to the activity looking for different last names. We sort the list by last name a clean social conscious, and got a little more and hence, one member of the partnership would social interaction than I had expected. Let’s try be lost in a directory were partnerships were and build friendships first. merged on one-line. My effort was in vain. Now I have just made a mess. Please call me if you have concerns. My second event was a NTD ski tour. On that event I learned 801-792-7765. that I am a MOD skier. A correct copy of the directory will soon be available on-line as By the time summer came around I was hoping to find a niche a link from the announcements’ page or by emailing a member in the club; somewhere I felt comfortable both physically and of the WMC board. socially. I found the Wednesday night women’s bike group. On my first ride, I fell completely off the Pipeline Trail and required As I write about the phone directory I realize we use this the gleefully applied peroxide treatment of my organizer. And document to keep in touch and build the friendships we initiate yet I kept on coming….. And look at me now. :D as part of the club. Many of us have memberships which span decades, finding our closest friends within the club – connected So, my advice to new members is, if at first you don’t find a by the activities we enjoy, pushed in our endeavors, challenged connection, try again. We are a diverse group of people and in our experiences. somewhere out there is an adventure you can share, with people you can appreciate. New members are joining every day. Think back to your own first activity, I’m sure you wondered if you would be able to See you on the trail, keep up? Were the people going to be friendly? How did that event shape your future as a WMC member? Heidi WMC Purpose (Article II of the WMC Constitution) The purpose shall be to promote the physical and spiritual well being of its members and others by outdoor activities; to unite the energy, interests, and knowledge of students, explorers, and lovers of the mountains, deserts, and rivers of Utah; to collect and disseminate information regarding the Rocky Mountains in behalf of science, literature and art; to explore and picture the scenic wonders of this and surrounding states; and to foster awareness of our natural areas including their plant, animal, and bird life. Page :3 Conservation Message Co-Directors: Will McCarvill & Gretchen Siegler After a rather lengthy hiatus, Save Our Canyons would like to announce that the Wasatch Front forums are back! With the help of KCPW, Westminster College and Save Our Canyons are excited to announce a new series of Wasatch Front Forums. There will be 4 Forums per year held at Westminster’s Gore Auditorium. The entire community is invited to become involved in these as they are driven primarily by you, the audience participant. The Forums brought the discussion of important environmental issues to the forefront of our community by assembling a panel of activists, experts, political leaders and stakeholders and providing an audience for their own views and opinions. This format is designed to engage audience members and initiate a community dialogue surrounding local environmental issues. The next Wasatch Front Forum will be held on August 28, 2007 at the Gore Auditorium (for map go to http://www.westminstercollege.edu/campus_map/ ) and will commence at 7pm. This forum will be a panel of the current Mayoral Candidates for the November Salt Lake City Mayor Election. We are excited to hear and discuss the environmental platforms of Ralph Becker, Dave Buhler, Keith Christensen, and Jenny Wilson and how (or if) they plan to carry on the legacy that Rocky has put in place. Please arrive early as this event will be broadcast and moderated by KCPW. Boating Message Donna Kramer, WMC Boating Director: The canoe group meets Thursday evenings to paddle on the Jordan River.

Acknowledgments & Dedication Lord Acton wrote, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” In politics, academia, science, business, media and even religion, the record of history confirms Acton’s aphorism. True greatness is found in a heart of non-negotiable norms and nobility; a life that transforms the world for good. Most so- called ‘conservative’ and/or ‘Christian’ leaders today are polished but treacherous, seeking their own career advancement over real reformation.
