Torrey Earns Utah’s First International Dark Sky Community Designation

Free Community Dinner to Celebrate Cultural Heritage

Scott T. Smith

Last week, Torrey Town earned International Dark Sky Community status, for their efforts to promote fully-shielded nightsky friendly lighting, and preserve the community's ability to see the stars at night.

TORREY - If an entire community could earn a gold star for good conduct, then the town of Torrey, Utah, has done just that. The International Dark Sky Association (IDA) awarded that star last Friday by officially recognizing Torrey as Utah’s first International Dark Sky Community. Only 18 communities in the world have achieved this distinction.

An IDA International Dark Sky Community is a town, city, municipality or other legally organized community that has shown exceptional dedication to the preservation of the night sky through the implementation

and enforcement of a quality outdoor lighting ordinance, dark sky education and citizen support of dark skies. International Dark Sky Communities excel in their efforts to promote responsible lighting and dark sky stewardship, and set good examples for surrounding communities.

Torrey is situated adjacent to Capitol Reef National Park, which was designated an IDA International Dark Sky Park in 2015. It is the first such U.S. national park ‘gateway community’ to earn the International Dark Sky Community designation. Torrey’s new status is therefore key to preserving abundant natural nighttime

darkness in Capitol Reef.

“As Torrey joins the IDA family today, together we take a major step forward in achieving an important goal of the International Dark Sky Places Program to join parks and neighboring communities in dedication to preserving their shared night skies,” said IDA Executive Director J. Scott Feierabend. “Torrey has proven its commitment to protecting this resource for the benefit of both its residents and national park visitors.”

The stars began to align for Torrey when Capitol Reef was designated an International Dark Sky Park. This prompted Torrey residents,

BOULDER - “When I grow up, I want to be President.” This ambitious statement is common among children. It has most likely started many a young person on a lifetime of learning and achievement, which can be a wonderful adventure for one’s life. Though only a few will

ever attain such a high goal as President of a country, the learning and preparation for such a goal provides benefits for all children. The monthly Take Home Project for Boulder Elementary School students provides valuable life skills whether the child’s aspirations are towards President

of the Senior Class, President of a company or President of the United States.

The skills necessary to become a president are varied, though some foundation skills are critical. Many successful people would put time management and organization skills, logical thinking skills and communication skills on the top of their list of foundation skills to learn. Research and oral presentations during early school years provides excellent opportunities for children to learn these skills.

The children at Boulder Elementary School are given this opportunity every month in their Take Home Projects, during which the children research a topic, prepare a paper on the topic and present their topic with visual aids to an audience of students and members of the community. Starting the endeavor early in life builds habits that will increase a child’s probability of success in any ambitious path of life.

friends, and citizens from across Wayne County, Utah, to hitch their wagon to the International Dark Sky Park by working toward International Dark Sky Community status. In turn, the Torrey Town Council implemented an outdoor lighting ordinance, which requires street and building lighting to be shielded and directed toward the ground.

“While those who came before us left us our dark night skies to love, now we leave a legacy to generations of future residents of this special place we proudly call home,” explained Torrey Mayor Scott Chestnut. “We've often been accused of being ‘in the dark,’ but now we're being honored for it!”

Woman’s Body Found in Her Panguitch Home PANGUITCH - The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of a 90 year old woman who was found on January 10, 2018 buried under a large amount of coal in the coal bin of her home in Panguitch.

A granddaughter of the deceased woman, Roma Bowman, had received a letter from her uncle, Pete Marker, stating that her grandmother had passed away on December 25, 2017 and that he had taken care of the body.

Concerned about the letter’s contents, Mrs. Bowman’s granddaughter took the letter to law enforcement in St. George, who contacted the Garfield County Sheriff.

The Garfield County Sheriff and deputies entered Mrs.

Bowman’s home on January 10 and discovered her body there.

According to Denise Dastrup, Public Information Officer for the sheriff’s office, 66 year old Pete Marker, Roma Bowman’s son, was in the home when the police arrived and voluntarily let the officers into the home.

The Garfield County Sheriff arrested Mr. Marker, and he is facing felony charges of abuse or desecration of a dead human body and failure to report a dead body.

Mrs. Bowman’s body was sent to the medical examiner’s office in Salt Lake City for evaluation. They determined that she did die on December 25, and that she passed away of natural causes —Insider

lights with dark sky-friendly, fully-shielded light-emitting diode (LED) lights. The success of this campaign, along with education events and publications, made it possible to bring darker skies and brighter dreams to Torrey.

A unique group of leaders supported this effort: town council members, Torrey Town and Wayne County residents, local business owners and friends from across the country. Their enthusiasm and advocacy make it possible to preserve the stars for present and future generations.

“My 72-year-old heart skips a beat every time I see the glow of the Milky Way core rising from behind the silhouettes of hills where I know there is no nearby city to explain the intense brightness of this glowing,” said Torrey resident and realtor Bonnie Kaufman. “It is eerie, breathtaking and spiritual!”

To maintain its International Dark Sky Community status, Torrey must continue to preserve its night sky through

education and awareness materials, dark sky events, exhibits, and programs. An official celebration will be held in Torrey during the Heritage Star Festival on October 5 and 6, 2018.

The International Dark Sky Association, a nonprofit organization based in Tucson, Arizona, advocates for the protection of the nighttime environment and dark night skies by educating policymakers and the public about night sky conservation and promoting environmentally responsible outdoor lighting. IDA established the International Dark Sky Places conservation program in 2001 to recognize excellent stewardship of the night sky. Designations are based on stringent outdoor lighting standards and innovative community outreach.

Since the program began, 18 Communities, 57 Parks, 12 Reserves, three Sanctuaries and four Dark Sky Friendly Developments of Distinction have been recognized with International Dark Sky Places designations.

Intergenerational Poverty?

The term intergenerational poverty has received widespread attention in Utah.

When we breakdown the term, intergenerational refers to a continuing cycle through multiple generations. When combined with poverty, it is easily understood as a continued cycle of poverty where a family or community fails to see members break out of their past practices of maintaining their lack of economic growth and unfavorable living conditions. In 2012, the Intergenerational Poverty Act was passed to seek a reduction in the number of children who remain in a cycle of poverty after they become adults. This

poverty cycle is passed from parents to children and the family has difficulty breaking out of this lifestyle which is then passed to a future generation.

Current research shows that students that are raised in intergenerational poverty are likely to enter kindergarten unprepared to learn. Many have stunted cognitive, social and emotional developmental skills. It is estimated that as many as 50,000 Utah children are caught up in intergenerational poverty at any one time.

Natalie Gochnour of the U of U Policy Institute said “To succeed, we must combine and coordinate efforts of gov-

ernment, faith based groups, education and the community to focus on children. The best and surest way to improve a child’s life is to provide a great education.”

Garfield County has no program specifically targeting IGP however, the GCSD Board of Education specifically offers increased access for young children experiencing intergenerational poverty with pre-school education programs. Working to increase academic proficiency in our youth, the district also is working to reduce student dropout rates and increase the district graduation rates among our high school students.

“Although we still have much to accomplish, we have been able to use many existing services to reach our most vulnerable populations more meaningfully through crossagency collaboration,” said Lt. Governor Spencer Cox. “Utah has taken action against intergenerational poverty by working toward solutions by collaborating on both state and county levels of government.

Only when we work together, government and citizens, will we be able to best help our neighbors in need.”

Big Turn Out for Bobcats' Games The excitement in town was at the Bob Cats basketball games. Many Cats’ fans were entertained by either listen to John and Danny Yardley broadcast, or watching the game on TV provided by Shawn Caine’s class or in person with really big crowds.

Starting off with Wednesday night’s game with Escalante the Cats were really on a roll taking out the Moquis 91 to 34. Jace Eyre’s led all scorers with 28 and made 6 out of 7 from downtown and added 9 rebounds. Both Trevor Wolfey and Acey Orton finished with 14. Most of the team got into the game and scored some points.

On Friday night the Bob Cats played host to the Piute Thunderbirds. A game that looked like a easy win after 3 quarters with the Cats leading 39 to 25, turn into and exciting game with Thunderbirds led by Gates Fulmer 22 points, 5- 3pointers, clawed their way back, outscoring the Cats in the fourth quarter 21 to 13. But it wasn’t enough and the Cats came away with a 6 point victory 52 to 46. Jace Eyre again led all scorers with 27 points, Acey chipped in another 15 point game. All of our other scorers combined for only 10 points, but play a really tough defensive game. Jace Eyre has taken over the state scoring lead with a twenty two point average.

Last night the Valley Buffalos came to Pang Town and the Cats will be out to revenge their one loss to a 1A team and it should be really good night of entertainment. The Sophomore tournament will be at Bryce Valley and will run Friday and Saturday. Next week on the 25th the Cats go out to Bryce Valley who will be seeking revenge on the Cats for their only loss to a 1A team and should be really worth your while to go cheer them on. The season is really winding down with only two more home games left in the season.

The really exciting game was the one the Lady Cats played over in Piute in front of a really big crowd. The game was between the number one and two teams in the state and it was a very entertaining game. Like the Bob Cats the Ladies led the Thunderbirds by a score of 36 to 26 going into the fourth quarter, but the Birds really turned it on and outscored the Lady Cats 16 to 6, sending the game into overtime tied at 42. The Ladies really showed heart, with Kapri Orton scoring 6 big ones inside and Brittney Henrie hitting a timely 3 pointer to seal the deal. This was a real defensive battle by both teams and the fans on both sides got their monies worth. Brittney led the Cats with 16 points and is really finding the range with her 3 pointers hitting three more of them. Karlee Eyre and Kapri ended up with 16 each.

Adding to the entertainment is our students singing the National Anthem. It is extra ordinary the outstanding musical talent we have in our schools. We have Cheerleaders that are awesome and a drill team that is amazing. To the leaders that makes it possible for the students to have such opportunities my congratulations and thanks for sharing your talent with PHS students. If you are setting home you are really missing out. Come support our students!

The Lady Cats won the Sophomore tournament at Piute, with a win over Bryce Valley. With the Cats only having Jordan Bennett graduating this year they are going to be a team to be reckoned with for many years to come. Next week the Ladies play Valley on the 18th here.

I am still not getting much information on the tough guy wrestlers, but I do know that they handled Richfield and beat them by 3 points. Their season is also coming to an end with only four more matches to go before region on Feb. 3rd.

able for efficient and effective use of one’s time. The time of a person in a leadership position is in constant demand.

Without time management and organization skills a person can easily become mired in the constant pull for one’s attention. Time management and organization skills are also important for success in completing long-term projects. The Take Home project allows the students to explore the skills of time management and organization. The children have the competing interests of researching and preparing a report or going out to play, for which they must manage their time. They learn to organize a project from start to finish by learning to identify the steps of the project and estimating the time for each step and then organizing the steps into a sequence with a time line for completing each step. Since the Take Home project is a monthly activity, the students are able to learn from previous projects and apply the time management and organization lessons to future projects.

Logical thinking skills are valuable in getting a thought across to a group of people and to help people with opposing views come together. Communicating a thought to others requires the logical sequencing of components

of the thought in a way that fosters understanding by the audience of the communication. The Take Home Project engages the child’s mind in this process. Since the project involves telling a story of one type or another, it requires that the students understand a logical sequence to the story. This logical sequence is expressed twice, first in the written report and then again in the oral presentation. As in all learning, understanding a concept comes though repetition of learning experiences related to the concept and through experiencing the concept in multiple ways.

Communication skills are critical for a leader of any organization. Communication, which is the process of transferring an idea or thought from one person to another either by verbal or non-verbal means, is not always easy and when the communicator is in front of a crowd, the process can be paralyzing. Children on a playground have little difficulty expressing their thoughts.

However, a child with 30 sets of eyes focused intently on the child will have greater challenges in communication. The Take Home Project culminates in presentations of each child’s research topic. Each presentation takes 3- 5 minutes and is in front of an audience of peers and other members of the community, which is typically a gathering of 20-30 people of

varied ages and backgrounds.

The Take Home Project addresses two types of communication lessons that our children need. The first is the content and grammar of the communication. The children must focus on the content of what they will say and how to say it with appropriate grammar and then practice this before the date of the presentation to allow for a smooth presentation. Then the students must make the presentation in front of an audience.

As the school year progresses, the students are gaining confidence in public speaking skills. They have noticeable improvement in the fluidity of their speeches; they are facing the audience more and looking around the room more to connect with the audience. The visual aids have improved and they serve well to illustrate the child’s presentation. The opportunity to work on this level of communication from the earliest age of elementary education will prove to be invaluable as this younger generation moves forward in their education and eventually into careers.

The presentations provide opportunities more far reaching in life than mere presentation skills. The presentations provide everyone, students and adults, the opportunity to learn and practice the life skill of being supportive of another person’s efforts.

Talking in front of a crowd is difficult for most people, yet it can be particularly challenging for some young children.

Encouragement allows the children to relax and become comfortable during challenging a task.

The students of Boulder Elementary School have embraced the challenges of the monthly Take Home Project and through these challenges they are making positive strides in their abilities and in their life skills. These wonderfully energetic children from all grades are walking a path that will provide many opportunities and the skills they are learning will open many doors. Who knows, these youngsters, our future leaders, may be presidents of their senior class, they may become presidents of corporations or universities, they may become community leaders, state leaders or let us all be so proud if one of our own local children does become President of this amazing United States of America.

The next Take Home Project presentation is scheduled for Friday, January 26th at 10:15 in Boulder Elementary School, which is located at the East end of 300 North Street. The community is welcome and encouraged to attend. Please feel free to come and support our next generation.

Planning for Death When Young Children or Grandchildren are Involved

by Jeffery J. McKenna No one likes to think about death much less plan for it. Many surveys indicate this is one of the biggest factors in not doing estate planning.

However, doing estate planning is an act of love. This is especially true when there are young children or grandchildren involved.

There are two primary concerns regarding minor children and estate planning. First, who is going to take care of the children? The person who cares for the personal needs of the children is called the guardian. Second, who will take care of the financial needs of the children? This may or may not be the same person (or institution) as the guardian of the children. The person responsible for the children’s financial matters may be a court appointed conservator or if estate planning was done prior to death, it could be a trustee of a trust established for the children’s benefit.

Significantly, children under age eighteen cannot legally “own” property in their individual capacity. Therefore, in order to have life insurance proceeds or any other assets of an estate distributed to a child under age 18, a conservator must be appointed by the court. The legal proceedings required to get a conservator appointed can be at best an additional expense and inconvenience. At its worst, a conservatorship proceeding can be a legal fight between family members about who is to manage the assets of the children.

Although these scenarios may be unappealing, the worst part about failing to plan for minor children may be what happens when they ultimately receive their inheritance.

A conservatorship ends when the child reaches age 18 unless special circumstance exist and the court allows the conservatorship to continue until age 21. The result is that at age 18 (or at most 21) the child now has complete control over the assets. While parents or grandparents may envision their life insurance or other assets of the estate being used for their children’s or grandchildren’s education, church service, or other purposes, children at age 18 or 21 may have other plans.

Given the concerns related to expense, court proceedings and ultimate, uncontrolled distributions at age 18 (or 21 in special circumstances), parents and grandparents should consider the use of a trust when minor children are beneficiaries. A trust has many advantages. First, assets can be distributed to the trustee of the trust for the benefit of the minor child. This can often occur without the need to burden the courts. The trustee would then manage the assets as specified in the trust document. Parents can specify that proceeds within the trust are always available for the children’s health, education, maintenance and support. Additionally, parents can specify that the proceeds will not be distributed outright to the children until the children reach a particular age or will be distributed in incremental stages at various ages. In short, through the use of a trust, the parents have the opportunity to provide as much instruction as they want with respect to the inheritance they leave for their children or grandchildren.

In conclusion, estate planning is very important when minor children or grandchil-

What is Same Same

Our 16-year-old son had just received his learner's permit, and I was going with him for a drive. Before he started the car, I asked him to check the oil. He lifted the hood and pulled the dipstick out. "Adequate," he said. I thought that was an unusual way of expressing it, but said, "Okay, let's go." The next time I checked the oil, I cleaned the dipstick and read: "Add 1 qt."

dren are involved. If you stop and think about it, you may find it ironic that many of us provide more instruction to the babysitter about how to care for our loved ones for a few hours than we provide for those we leave behind at death.

The coach says to me, "Tex, grab that ball and run down the field with it." So I grabbed it and ran ninety yards with nary a one of 'em layin' a hand on me. When I ran back the coach says, "Okay, now take off your spurs and let me see you do it."

Hand Out

I figured out why Uncle Sam wears a tall hat. It comes in handy when he passes it around.

Today's Thought

A man's nipples are the biological equivalent of the blank plastic panels they put in a car in places where you didn't get certain options.

The lights were too bright at the Chinese restaurant so the manager decided to dim sum

Really Important

Everyone has priorities.

When a guest at my hotel suffered a massive heart attack in our restaurant, I immediately initiated CPR, keeping him alive until medics arrived. As they rushed the man to the hospital, his lunch partner approached me and stuck out his hand. I gripped it firmly, only to find a parking ticket clasped inside it. "Do you folks validate?" he asked.

My 2 Cents

I went to the store the other day to pick out a new tie for an upcoming wedding. I found one that matched my suit but it didn't have a price tag on it. So I asked the clerk, "Hey, buddy, how much is this tie?"

He said, "Seventy-five dollars."

I said, "What! I can buy a pair of shoes with that kind of money."

He said, "Maybe, but how would a pair of shoes look around your neck?"

Love

A man was sitting on the sofa watching TV when he heard his wife's voice from the kitchen.

"What would you like for dinner, Love? Chicken, beef or lamb?"

Surprised she was home from work so early, he said, "Hum...I'll have chicken."

"DAH!," she called back.

"You can make your own damn dinner. I was talking to the cat!"

HIMYM

My new girlfriend, Karen, got a job at a local hardware store. "The owner doesn't want us hanging out with our friends," she said. "If you stop by, tell them you're my brother." On my first visit I walked to the customer service desk and asked the older woman there, "Is Karen around?" When she looked at me quizzically, I added, "I'm her brother." She smiled.

"What a nice surprise. I'm Karen's mother."

For many years she helped run the Rustic Lodge at Panguitch Lake with family and cashiered at Joe’s Market in Panguitch. She had battled and won breast and thyroid cancers in her lifetime. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her as a funny and loving woman.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Sheriff Danny Perkins held the 10th annual County wide training at Ebenezer’s.

The meeting was well attended by EMTs, Law enforcement personnel, Fire and Search and Rescue personnel. The meeting started with honoring Camille Moore for her many years of managing Garfield County affairs, with a standing ovation. There was a brand new Life Flight Helicopter on display and it is really beautiful and the state of art for helicopters. The guest speakers were really good and the last ones message was that all that were there should take pride in the service they provide for the people of Garfield County.

The meeting closed with a standing ovation for Sheriff Danny Perkins, both Camille and Danny have spent a good part of their lives in making life a little better for the citizens they serve. There are no two better people anywhere and we are so lucky to have them, I have known Camille for twenty some years and she is a nonstop worker.

One thing this year that I learned, is this year if you want to run for a political office you no longer have to go to a political convention with all your friends to get your parties’ nominations. You can go out with a petition, with your name and position you desire to run

for (I don’t know if you need to list your party, but it would be a good idea). You need to gather 130 signatures, plus to be safe, of registered voters, in Garfield County and turn them into the County. There still will be party conventions and they can nominate someone, but all candidates will be on the ballot.

We did get a little moisture last week, but the long range forecast is for more warm weather and average rain. A friend from up at the Lake said that he thought they had about a foot of the white stuff. Brian Head received 9” and now has 22’, which works well on top of the manmade stuff. Going out to Ebenezer’s there was quite a bit of snow on the higher levels, but it won’t last long with 50 degree weather, warming things up.

After 41 bowl games, we finally have a National College Football Champion and it is Alabama. I was doing Yoga and missed most of the game but I got in the last 10 minutes with Georgia leading by 10 points. Alabama Coach Lou Sabin benched his starting quarterback, in the second half, who had started 52 games in his career, in favor of a Freshman who had not even played one down. But he was bigger and stronger and brought Alabama back to tie the game and it went into overtime. The

Bulldogs scored first on a field goal to take a three point lead.

Alabama didn’t start off too good, with the quarterback getting sacked for a 14 yard loss, but the youngster came right back on the next play and threw a touchdown pass to an uncovered receiver and Alabama added to their many Championships with a three point win.

Next up will be the NFL Championship games, with the two best teams meeting at the Super bowl in three weeks.

Then bring on my favorite sport, basketball. The State High school championships, March Madness and then the never ending NBA finals.

Tonight is the last playing of Wonder at the Gem Theater.

We went last Saturday night and there was a big crowd there for both showings and it really lived up to its name, it was wonderful. It is a movie that every student in the world needs to see, it is beautifully acted and the message of the movie is about bullying. The little boy who plays the main character is really good in his part, (you will love him) learning to live with facial problems, after being home taught till the 5th grade and entering a private school.

In last week’s Insider, the Faculty at SUU is offering an expedition to Peru. We went

there to pick up our Granddaughter a year and a half ago.

Boy there is so much to see and do there, if you can make it, check on the price and give them a call. Lima has a population of 4 million and it is a must to be on a guided tour there, because they have the craziest drivers in the world.

But the history of the country is really something, from Peru’s history you will find out why there are so many poor countries in South America.

Spain invaded Mexico and South America stealing all of their wealth and gold and these countries have never recovered. You will fly to Cuzco, the highest city in the world at 12,000 feet and from there you will board a train to Machu Picchu in the Sacred Valley (a must see in your life time). And they will also be visiting additional Inca sites of Pisac and Otlantaytambo.

This is really a must do trip on your bucket list, the altitude is really something, but you can get altitude pills that will keep you from getting sick. Because Peru is below the Equator it will be their fall period and the weather is real nice. Give them a call at SUU at 435-865-8259.

Keep praying for moisture, our area really depends on it.

Quagga Requirements Lifted at Deer Creek Reservoir HEBER CITY - You’re no longer required to clean and drain your boat before leaving Deer Creek reservoir It’ll take less time to get your boat on or off Deer Creek Reservoir this year. After three years, the reservoir is no longer suspected of having quagga mussels in it.

Nathan Owens, aquatic invasive species coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says quagga mussels have not been found in the reservoir since five juvenile mussels were discovered in a water sample in October 2014.

Because the reservoir has gone three years without further detection, effective Jan. 11, Deer Creek is no longer classified as a quagga-suspected water. And that means

you’re no longer required to drain the water from your boat, and have staff at the park inspect it, before leaving the reservoir southwest of Heber City.

With the exception of Lake Powell, which has been infested with mussels since 2013, quagga mussels have not been found in any water body in Utah since the discovery at Deer Creek in 2014.

“Our prevention and containment methods worked,” Owens says. “Decontaminating boats that arrived at Deer Creek from Lake Powell and infested waters outside the state prevented mussels from getting into the reservoir and adding to the problem. And requiring boaters to clean and drain their boats—before leaving Deer Creek—prevented any mussels that might have been in Deer Creek from being spread to other waters in the state.”

Owens says preventing quagga mussels from establishing in Deer Creek was a team effort. “This is a shining example of what can happen when boaters and government work together on a common goal,” he says.

The effort included funding from the Utah Legislature and boaters, anglers and personnel from the DWR, Utah State Parks, the Bureau of Reclamation, the Provo River Watershed Council and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District teaming together to keep additional mussels out of the reservoir.

“We want to thank boaters across Utah for completing the required certification forms before launching their boats and then cleaning and draining their boats before leaving the reservoir,” Owens says.

With the exception of Lake Powell, waters in Utah are free of quagga mussels and their cousins, zebra mussels.

But Owens encourages all boaters not to let their guard down. “The threat quagga and zebra mussels pose to Utah’s waters is still very real,” he says.

“Even though the requirement to clean, drain and

dry your boat pertains only to Lake Powell,” he says, “I strongly encourage you to put your boat through that process, no matter where you’ve been boating. You never know where mussels, or any other unwanted creature, will turn up next. Cleaning, draining and drying your boat—after every boating trip—will help ensure you’re not transporting mussels from one water body to another.”

The simple process, and annual education and certification forms, are available at www.stdofthesea.utah.gov.
