Book Club Info:
The Cultural Hall is expanding! September is the inaugural month for our newly-minted Book Club, the perfect way to combine your love of literature and shows in podcast form. Each month we’ll be interviewing the author of the chosen Book Club title, then give you the opportunity to go forth and read. After a few weeks we will then hold a live event in the Salt Lake valley where listeners can attend a recording of our Book Club discussion with panelists, and, sometimes, the author themselves. Come be a part of our Q&A, meet our Cultural Hall panelists, and bless the sugar out of the crap we partake of for refreshments. September’s Book Club read is A Generation Rising by Gerald N. Lund, first installment in the Fire and Steel series, available at Desert Book right now! Mark your calendars for our live event, October 8 at 6 PM at the Sandy Library.

Recapture Canyon is a canyon along Recapture Creek (a tributary of the San Juan River) east of Blanding, San Juan County, Utah, United States. It is an archaeological site, and is located on federal land. The Bureau of Land Management closed it to motorized vehicles in 2007 due to damage caused by illegal trail construction.
Recapture Canyon contains dwellings, burial sites, and artifacts of the Ancient Pueblo peoples, including cliff dwellings built between 1150 and 1300 AD.
On Saturday May 10, 2014, San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman organized a protest aimed at legally opening the trail to all-terrain vehicles. The protest attracted several militia members from the Bundy ranch. BLM undercover agents documented the illegal ride and are investigating potential damage to archaeological resources.
That’s one side of the story. Now listen to Phil’s Explanation.
