Before wildland firefighters ignited almost 1,300 acres of forest land north of Dolores on Tuesday
they started a small test fire in the northeast corner of the burn unit
“Just to make sure it’s burning the way we want it to,” a Forest Service ranger explained as local wildland crews hiked up a steep hill toward the cliff band
The untrained eye would look at what they were walking on and call it a trail; in actuality
which acts as a boundary during a prescribed burn
organic matter on them to ensure the fire couldn’t spread past it
And to be sure the fire stayed within those burn boundaries that Tuesday morning
there were firefighters “in holding,” standing on the hand line
which acted as another boundary line during the burn
waiting to hear how things were burning before giving the green light to go ahead with the Upper Boggy Draw prescribed fire
permitting and adhering to the National Environmental Policy Act to actually undergo a burn
they’re constantly planning five years – or more – out
conditions have to be just right the day of the burn
the Forest Service doesn’t burn at all because it’s too windy
The expected high for the day was in the mid-50s
the wind was moderate and the radar promised weather in the afternoon
but no wetting rain,” said Bruno Rodriguez
would be anything a tenth of an inch or more
cooler temperatures are favorable because on hotter days
more water evaporates from the vegetation and thus makes it more flammable
Conditions were decidedly right on Tuesday
crews checked the weather to make sure nothing changed
Two drones flew overhead and a helicopter went up for a while until the winds picked up to assist the crew and speed the process along a bit
It was the Forest Service’s first time burning in that area
though it was far from the first time that landscape had seen fire
In fact, “Historically, fires in ponderosa pine communities burned naturally on a cycle of one every five to 25 years,” according to an article by the National Park Service.
a coordinator at the Dolores Watersheds Collaborative
called the area “a frequent fire landscape.”
She pointed out the way the ponderosa pines “self-prune,” as their trunks are bare and branchless until a considerable way up the tree
In the late 1800s, there were a few “legendary forest fires” that “threatened future commercial timber supply,” an article from the Forest History Society reads
government “to begin setting aside national forest reservations.” In 1905
when forest fires burned 3 million acres of Montana
that only total fire suppression could prevent such an event from occurring again,” it said
was the Forest Service’s vehicle to promote fire suppression
“Smokey has changed his tune,” said Williams
Research in the 1960s and ’70s revealed the positives – and necessity – of fire in a forest
“Fire clears out large amounts of vegetation and fuel, leaving behind burned or partially burned vegetation,” an article by the National Park Service reads
but it actually provides new habitat by opening up space and nutrients for new plants to grow
allowing more sunlight to reach the forest floor,” it said
starving the landscape of its fire has had impact
“After more than one hundred years of fire suppression
ponderosa pine forests have changed,” according to the National Park Service
“Where there used to be trees of different ages
there are now many seedlings and midstory trees
Large diameter ponderosa pines are now competing for resources
More trees – especially of similar age and type – puts the forest at risk for disease and insects
the smoke closing in around us creating an almost unsettling atmosphere
something out of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale
The once visible cliff band where the test fire started not too long ago was visible no more as the flames fed on the forest floor
The fire danced and crackled and popped as it spread
Branches and entire trees fell as the fire swelled and became mesmerizing
The prescribed fire at Upper Boggy Draw smoldered for days after it was set
the Forest Service plans to burn 1,600 acres at Haycamp Mesa and another 1,600 at Salter
For anyone interested in learning more about prescribed fire and why it’s important for nutrient cycling and the landscape as a whole
there’s a Prescribed Fire Celebration coming up
to noon at the Boggy Draw Trailhead parking lot
The Dolores Watersheds Collaborative is putting it on
Mountain Studies Institute and Mancos Conservation District
“Lunch will be local beef burgers,” Williams said
attendees will go for a walk in the woods to two prescribed burn footprints
“We’re doing it so people can learn about and celebrate fire
so people’s only experience with it isn’t smoke,” said Williams with a laugh

2025 surrounded by her family in Augusta Georgia.
enriching so many other people’s lives throughout her 86 years
Joan was best known for her love of our Lord
her dedication and commitment to her church
First Primitive Baptist Church of Augusta through playing the piano
She could be heard countless times bragging on her 'choir babies' that she loved so much
She was such a great steward of her talents and bestowed so many random acts of kindness
If she wasn’t helping at church you could almost be guaranteed to find her repurposing some jar or can that she could transform into some beautiful masterpiece to present to a lucky recipient
I can still see her making Dad dig through the kitchen trash can hunting for some type of container that could be made into a treasure
She was passionate about her crafts and could turn empty toilet paper rolls into prestigious Christmas decorations in the blink of an eye
She loved making personalized greeting cards
Joan was a vibrant force in the lives of everyone she touched.

Honoree Dolores Huerta attends The Albies hosted by the Clooney Foundation for Justice at the New York Public Library on Thursday
OpenAI has named labor leader Dolores Huerta and three others to a temporary advisory board that will help guide the artificial intelligence company’s philanthropy as it attempts to shift itself into a for-profit business
The group will have just 90 days to make their suggestions
“She recognizes the significance of AI in today’s world and anybody who’s been paying attention for the last 50 years knows she will be a force in this conversation,” said Daniel Zingale
the convener of OpenAI’s new nonprofit commission and a former adviser to three California governors
Huerta’s advice won’t be binding but the presence of a social activist icon could be influential as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman attempts a costly restructuring of the San Francisco company’s corporate governance
which requires the approval of California’s attorney general and others
Another coalition of labor leaders and nonprofits recently petitioned state Attorney General Rob Bonta
halt the proposed conversion and “protect billions of dollars that are under threat as profit-driven hunger for power yields conflicts of interest.”
started out in 2015 as a nonprofit research laboratory dedicated to safely building better-than-human AI that benefits humanity
OpenAI last month said it’s working to raise $40 billion in funding
Huerta will be joined on the new advisory commission by former Spanish-language media executive Monica Lozano; Robert Ross
the recently retired president of The California Endowment; and Jack Oliver
an attorney and longtime Republican campaign fundraiser
is a former aide to California governors including Democrat Gavin Newsom and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger
“We’re interested in how you put the power of AI in the hands of everyday people and the community organizations that serve them,” Zingale said in an interview Wednesday
these are the people you want to tip the scale in favor of humanity.”
The group is now tasked with gathering community feedback for the problems OpenAI’s philanthropy could work to address
But for California nonprofit leaders pushing for legal action from the state attorney general
it doesn’t alter what they view as the state’s duty to pause the restructuring
assess the value of OpenAI’s charitable assets and make sure they are used in the public’s interest
“As impressive as the individual members of OpenAI’s advisory commission are
the commission itself appears to be a calculated distraction from the core problem: OpenAI misappropriating its nonprofit assets for private gain,” said Orson Aguilar
the CEO and founding president of LatinoProsperity

I always had to take a few seconds to say hi to Sparky
My condolences on the passing of your mother
and gave a lot of service to our family as my visiting teacher
When our family was young she was my visiting teacher for several years
There were many times she showed up out of the blue only because she had received a prompting that I needed help
Every time she did this it was when I truly needed help in some way
and such an amazing example to me of how to also serve
I’m sure your hearts are broken and so sad at this time with her passing
I remember either President Monson or Elder Oaks or one of the general authorities saying at one time “To take the sadness out of death
you’d have to take LOVE out of life.” I know we truly want love in life
This statement has always brought comfort to me when losing a loved one
I wish you the very best while grieving to be comforted by the Holy Spirit

on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management
northwest of Cortez near Dove Creek on Monday
2021.The House Natural Resources Committee released its reconciliation text and it could have major impacts for Western Colorado
Included is a proposal to prohibit the implementation of the Bureau of Land Management’s Colorado River Valley Office and Grand Junction Field Office Resource Management plans
The final plans would open about 85 percent of BLM land “with high potential” for future oil and gas development to leasing
while low and medium-potential areas would be largely closed to leasing
Colorado is one of four western states that will have RMPs undone by the Republican proposal
“These resource management plans took millions of acres offline for both mineral development and energy development
we’re making them available for future production.”
sought to prevent the final plan from going into effect last fall
while the district’s current representative
introduced a bill earlier this year seeking changes
it could open up an issue that some had hoped was finally put to bed after a decade of legal wrangling and even more years of stakeholder input
But conservation groups filed a lawsuit against the Colorado River Valley RMP
a federal court said the BLM had to reconsider portions of the plan dealing with oil and gas development
A similar lawsuit was filed against the Grand Junction Field Office RMP
“I think there’s a lot of blind politics going on right now
and I think this fits squarely in that category,” said Peter Hart
Hart added that the reconciliation proposal would be opening up a process that “culminated without objection
Hart thinks it will lead to “a whole bunch more conflict
as well as a time-consuming and expensive process.”
A spokesperson for Colorado’s Department of Natural Resources said withdrawing the final plans “raises deep concerns for the state.”
“Both of these final resource management plans replaced decades-old plans which are far overdue for updating,” the department said in a statement
these plans were finalized after extensive work with local governments
and without any protest from oil and gas industry interests.”
even if oil and gas groups didn’t formally object before the RMPs were finalized
some are pleased to see them sent back to the drawing board
outgoing president of the Western Energy Alliance
They can take the analysis of those issues done over the last four years
strip out the erroneous conclusions the Biden administration came to
and reissue new Records of Decision in fairly short order.”
She argued the final plans were based on old information as to what areas were no or low potential
According to Congressional Budget Office estimates
rescinding these two final RMPs could generate up to $80 million in new revenue through expanded drilling and mining
The reconciliation text would also mandate quarterly oil and gas lease sales in Colorado and return those royalty rates — which were increased to 16.67 percent through the Inflation Reduction Act — back down to 12.5 percent for 10 years
The committee hopes to generate a total of $15 billion through these changes
The House Natural Resources committee is one where Colorado has a strong presence
The committee is expected to mark up the bill on May 6
A couple of hurdles to revisiting the RMPs could remain.
The Senate’s so-called Byrd rule limits what can be included in reconciliation legislation
Anything that does not have a direct budgetary consequence could be challenged and removed
And if the Republican controlled Congress does succeed in changing the Colorado RMPs
