British Field Day
Liberty Park Salt Lake City
Saturday June 21
British Field Day (BFD) will be held
at Liberty Park again this year. All
British cars and bikes in any condi-
tion from 100-point restorations to
works in progress or an old daily
beater are welcome. All area British
car/bike clubs are invited to partici-
pate. Call your fellow club members
and get them to the event!
There will be a road course set up
on a closed access road inside the
park. It promises to be as noisy
and challenging as in previous
years!
Liberty Park has many amenities
including one of the largest and
best playgrounds in the city, the
Tracy Aviary and a small amuse-
ment park with a Ferris wheel
and merry-go-round. Even if your
family doesn’t share your passion for
LBCs (little British cars), there will
be plenty for them to do while you
are getting your fix!
The Salt Lake Arts Academy, a pub-
lic charter school with emphasis on
the arts, will be providing volunteers
to assist with the event so the organ-
izers can have more time for some
fun, too! Publicity for BFD is being
handled by the Salt Lake Community
Network. The SLCN is a non-profit
neighborhood advocacy organiza-
tion that functions as an umbrella
group for Salt Lake City Communi-
ty Councils. The community coun-
cils are neighborhood organizations
that provide input from residents to
city government.
Food will be California style with a
bold Asian influence including
Asian tacos, sliders, and salads plus
chicken fingers with a plum-ginger
sauce, a cheese quesadilla, and hot
dogs for the kids, all at reasonable
prices by CHOW HAUTE ASIAN
CUISINE ON THE GO. The
CHOW Truck will be inside the
event.
Liberty Park is located between 500
East & 700 East and 900 South &
1300 South. The BFD event will be
held in the northeast quadrant of the
park. Enter off 1300 South and drive
east and north about a quarter of the
way around the park. You will see
the event on the left.
Please help support the Salt Lake
Arts Academy and SLCN
by bringing your cars and
bikes out to join in the fun.
Registration starts at 8 AM.
We hope to have most bikes
and cars in place by 9 AM.
We encourage folks display-
ing vehicles to try to stay
until 3 PM, but if you can
only make it for a couple of
hours, that is fine, too! The
registration fee is $10 per
bike or car. The maximum
registration fee is $20/
registrant regardless of the number of
cars or bikes they bring. A $5 dona-
tion is requested per adult admission.
Kids 12 and under are free.
To register, print out the registration
form on page xxx and bring it along
with you on the 21st of June.

The Union Jack From www.royal.gov.uk, The Official Website of The British Monarchy
The Union Flag, or Union Jack, is the
national flag of the United Kingdom.
It is so called because it combines the
crosses of the three countries united un-
der one Sovereign - the kingdoms of
England and Wales, of Scotland and of
Ireland (although since 1921 only North-
ern Ireland has been part of the United
Kingdom).
The flag consists of three heraldic cross-
es.
The cross of St George, patron saint of
England since the 1270's, is a red cross
on a white ground. After James I suc-
ceeded to the throne, it was combined
with the cross of St. Andrew in 1606.
The cross saltire of St Andrew, patron
saint of Scotland, is a diagonal white
cross on a blue ground.
The cross saltire of St Patrick, patron
saint of Ireland, is a diagonal red cross on
a white ground.
This was combined with the previous
Union Flag of St George and St Andrew,
after the Act of Union of Ireland with
England (and Wales) and Scotland on 1
January 1801, to create the Union Flag
that has been flown ever since.
The Welsh dragon does not appear on
the Union Flag. This is because when
the first Union Flag was created in
1606, the Principality of Wales by that
time was already united with England
and was no longer a separate principali-
ty.
The Union Flag was originally a Royal
flag. When the present design was
made official in 1801, it was ordered to
be flown on all the King's forts and
castles, but not elsewhere.
It is today flown above Buckingham
Palace, Windsor Castle and Sandring-
ham when The Queen is not in resi-
dence.
The Royal Arms of Scotland (Lion
Rampant) is flown at the Palace of Hol-
yroodhouse and Balmoral when The
Queen is not in residence.
On news of a Royal death, the Union
Flag (or the Royal Arms of Scotland
(Lion Rampant) where appropriate) is
flown at half-mast.
The Royal Standard is never flown at
half-mast, as the Sovereign never dies
(the new monarch immediately succeeds
his or her predecessor).
The flying of the Union Flag on public
buildings is decided by the Department
for Culture, Media and Sport at The
Queen's command.
The Union Flag is flown on Government
buildings on days marking the birthdays
of members of the Royal Family, Com-
monwealth Day, Coronation Day, The
Queen's official birthday, Remembrance
Day and on the days of the State Open-
ing and prorogation of Parliament.
The term 'Union Jack' possibly dates
from Queen Anne's time (r. 1702-14),
but its origin is uncertain.
It may come from the 'jack-et' of the
English or Scottish soldiers, or from the
name of James I who originated the first
union in 1603.
Another alternative is that the name may
be derived from a proclamation by
Charles II that the Union Flag should be
flown only by ships of the Royal Navy
as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit; the
term 'jack' once meant small.

PALM DESERT, CA– The
Living Desert has again added
to its menagerie of cute.
Fresh off the hooves of a baby
giraffe born March 28, the zoo
on Tuesday announced the
birth of two jaguar cubs.
The zoo also has four baby
fennec foxes still too young to
be exhibited and a zebra that's
expected to give birth for the
third time any day.
"It's never dull" this time of
year at The Living Desert, said
Liz Hile, the zoo's curator of
animals.
The zoo tries to
time births in the spring or fall
when temperatures are more
comfortable for the animals,
Hile said.
The cubs double the size of
the jaguar family at The Liv-
ing Desert. Magia, the 4-year-
old mother, and Memo, the
father, are a matched breeding
pair. Memo was moved from a
zoo in Panama in 2013 to help
the jaguar breeding program in
North American zoos.
"This is our first jaguar birth,"
said Kerry Graves, director of
A baby jaguar cub rests at her mother Magia’s feet. Magia, a four-year-old feline,

Jaguar Cubs Newest Arrivals At The Living Desert

"Being one of the signature animals at
the zoo, it makes it very exciting."
An eBay auction netted $1,025 for the
Living Desert from a Los Angeles wom-
an in exchange for the honor of naming
the baby male giraffe. Roxana Givner
chose Kubwa, Swahili for "big."
Graves said the zoo plans to hold another
contest to name the jaguar cubs but de-
tails haven't been finalized.
Zookeepers still don't know whether the
cubs are male or female. Hile said staff
will look for an upcoming opportunity to
determine the gender, but so far they are
confident that Magia gave birth to two
healthy cubs.
"Mom is being a very good mother and
being very protective," she said.
Zoo visitors shouldn't expect to see the
cubs until about September, after
they've had time to be introduced to
their exhibit space.
The Association of Zoos & Aquariums
has roughly 40 pairs in its jaguar
breeding program, said Stacey John-
son, who departed as The Living
Desert's president and CEO in January
to become the chief life sciences of-
ficer at San Diego Zoo Global, which
oversees the San Diego Zoo and San
Diego Safari Park.
Johnson is also coordinator of the jagu-
ar Species Survival Plan, a role he de-
scribed as the big cats' "dating coordi-
nator."
The program aims to keep the captive
jaguar population healthy through
planned breeding. It hoped to have 15-20
litters born over the current two-year
cycle, which ends this fall, but so far
Johnson said there have been five or six.
Jaguars can have up to six cubs in a litter,
Johnson said, but one or two is typical.
"It's always a boost for us when we have
cubs born," he said, "because we're trying
to manage our population over the very
long term."
