GARFIELD COUNTY In an unusual emergency meeting on Feb. 1, the Garfield County Commissioners approved Ordinance 2022-2, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO).

The ordinance, which details rules and regulations that CAFOs must meet in unincorporated areas of the county, had been discussed over many months and included two county Planning Commission public hearings.

However, approval of the ordinance was tabled at the Jan. 24 County Commission meeting upon recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission felt the county was being forced by the state to enact the ordinance, but did not believe the Feb. 1 deadline included a penalty for non-enactment.

Planning Director Kaden Figgins explained that legal council subsequently recommended meeting the Feb. 1 deadline set forth in state code 17.27a, part 11. He said without the ordinance enacted, a CAFO could potentially situ-

Ryan Davis and Cynthia Kimball Davis at their home at The Snuggle Inn, in Loa. LOA - This is a Valentine’s story that unfolds in twist and turns, taking us from Loa to Las Vegas, from New Harmony to Nauvoo. And back again to Loa, landing—in this moment—at the Snuggle

Inn. And central to the story is this—The Insider—newspaper.

We begin our story with Ryan Davis. Wayne County native, and former owner of The Insider. Ryan produced

and built up the paper from a local “circular” to a broadsheet newspaper serving both Wayne and Garfield counties.

He served as The Insider’s publisher from 1995 to 2012.

In 2012—after 17 years

BRYCE - Mayor Syrett facilitated and Sydney SyrettLamas took the minutes.

The meeting began with a prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

Financial Audit - Morris Peacock, an accountant from Hinton Burdick, provided a report on the FYE 6/30/21 town audit. Town revenue dipped last year, although the accountant reported that it was still a good year.

Resort tax made up a significant percentage of revenue.

Peacock noted that the town broke even for the year—and budgeted to be ahead on some items like intergovernmental revenue.

Public Safety Building Thermostat Purchase - The council discussed the advantages of installing a remote monitoring and scheduling system to help manage the existing heating and cooling system. They also noted that the thermostats need a regular servicing schedule. The existing budget for system improvements requires revision before the council can make a decision.

BOULDER - The February 2022 Town Council meeting began with a recorded presentation from Colleen Engel of American Legal, with a proposal to codify the town minutes. American Legal has already codified the town ordinances, and doing the same for the minutes could be added to the contract. The presentation showed how to look up minutes with their codification structure and how to search for keywords within minutes, including using advanced filters such as a date range. The Town Council will discuss this further next month.

The Council then discussed the two open positions on the Board of Adjustments.

Randy Ripplinger and Darrell Fuller applied. Fuller is a patent attorney who is currently building a house in the King Estates Subdivision. His family owned land in Salt Gulch, and he has spent much time in Boulder. Ripplinger has lived here for about thirty years and has sat on Town Council in the Boulder Council Cont'd on page 3

Time for Change

For 20 years of my life, Wayne Middle School was my home. I loved growing with the kids in our community and helping them navigate the challenges of our complex world. I gave my all to my job and those around me.

It was disheartening that all the school board could muster when I left was, “did we get that resignation?”

I left under difficult circumstances; I couldn’t continue to be treated like I was by the board—people I trusted to support and lift me. The bullying, threatening, intimidation, and undermining had taken a toll on my mental and physical health which I could no longer afford. I wanted to slip away quietly, beaten. I didn’t want to fight anymore.

I am trying to move on; to rebuild my career as an educator elsewhere; to start over and hoping that reconnecting with the joy of teaching can repair what has been lost.

At the request of the board I have provided a letter of resignation.

WSD Board of Education, With sadness, but gratitude for amazing friendships, I hereby resign as the principal of Wayne Middle School.

It has been my honor to be taught as a professional by humble people of great character. I will miss the relationships with these people. I will miss the opportunity to greet students at the front doors and welcome them to school.

I will miss them!

Your employees and students deserve role models who will lead them in honorable, ethical, loyal, kind

ways. I hope you are able to meet this expectation. In my experience, you have not. To the board president, leadership is hard. Become a leader. To the board, stop talking about how great you are. Start talking about how great your people are. Support them. Celebrate what IS happening, not constantly what you feel is not.

Create real relationships with the exemplary staff you have in your schools.

You have created a social club rather than a service organization. Stop excusing bad behavior from members of your club, especially when that behavior is toxic to the school district you manage. Stop using your position to advance you. Help others. Get to know your teachers, paraprofessionals, custodians, food service staff, maintenance staff, as well as you have gotten to know each other. At that point you may understand what a school district is all about.

I wish the best to the district and the good people who understand the profession of education. Move back and let them do their jobs. Trust me, they can, and they will!

Sincerely, Lance Peterson I hope that you expect more of your school board and its members than what has been the recent standard.

Don’t allow them to be petty and small. Professionals in your buildings deserve to be trusted. I am not the first educator to leave due to issues associated with the school board (or chosen not to come back home). If things don’t change, I won’t be the last.

Lance Peterson

Look Out, "Punxsutawney Phil," Here Comes "Prairie Dog Pete"

"Prairie Dog Pete" chooses a scroll, ultimately predicting 20 more inches of snow this winter.

Courtesy Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park rangers stayed up late baking prairie dog cupcakes for the “Prairie Dog Pete” weather prediction ceremony.

BRYCE CANYON N.P. - Bryce Canyon National Park recently engaged in its own version of a Groundhog Day ceremony. While the majority of Utah prairie dogs are still snug underground, one was able to make a temporary cameo to mark the occasion.

“Prairie Dog Pete,” never mind his shadow, picked from one of two scrolls to determine if we will have any more snow this year. Lucky for us, the rodent wrapped a furry finger around the scroll that held a prediction of twenty more inches of snow.

After almost no recorded snow in November and January, this would be great news for the area. May he be right!

The event was capped with a chili cook-off at the park. To make it even more special, the rangers outdid themselves by staying up late and baking prairie dog cupcakes.

A tasty new tradition?

Fire Truck - in Panguitch

$700,000 Fire Truck in Panguitch. (1) The city government is required to advertise in local weekly for PUBLIC HEARING. It’s not a choice but a law. (2) I did not find the ad in the local weekly. ---- OK. (3) 2 Fire trucks – what are we going to do with it? What is the status of two existing Fire Trucks? Where is the justification / real need for $ 700,000 Fire Truck ? Let's have an expert inspect it and get a report. How do we know that 2 Fire trucks are worthless and $700,000 Fire Truck is needed ? (4) >50% times the Fire Trucks are used (20 mile cruising) to cheer kids when they win a game. (5) Fire Trucks can be of any price. [Like auto $25,000 civic Honda to >$200,000 Audi.]. > a million $ Fire Truck is needed in Salt Lake City or New York City where buildings are as high as 30, 40, ---- 100 stories. We have all houses detached and single story. According to the Fire Chief, Panguitch has about 60 calls / year which includes all other areas (like Bryce Canyon, Panguitch Lake, etc.). Do we charge them ? If not, why not ? Who is paying taxes in Panguitch ? (6) In recent years, Panguitch has a lot of money (rain of money). Our priorities should be ( a) We need a community swimming pool (>80% residents want it for >20 years). (b) We need an exercise facility. The city has a gym room which is a joke (in size and equipment). It’s a storage room.

Secondly, it is upstairs (disables cannot get up there). (c) The city needs a well qualified Economic Development Officer.

Folks! Butcher can not be a surgeon. (d) The city is in federal violation being anti-low income earners (housing, etc.). ( e) we don’t have a salt program to melt ice on sidewalks. (f) City sidewalks on Main Street and Center Street are almost 30 year old (passed life span). Certain sections are in dire need of replacement. (g) Library (temple of knowledge) is a big joke.

(7) Garfield County Commission’s position – “If it’s not in the jurisdiction of the county government, the county government has nothing to do”. Why is pitching of $ 100,000 by the county government? How would a Boulder resident benefit from this ( his / her $ 100,000) ? The county commissioners are not spineless. They need 1000 votes to stay glued in the chair. (8) Conservative Republican Approach (less government, freedom, less hand outs, etc.) – Without $ 100,000 from Garfield County, >$400,000 from CIB (state & Federal), etc; the city wouldn’t have $700,000 Fire truck. What will happen ? Would Panguitch burn down ? Why didn’t Panguitch burn down in 2020, 2021 ? It’s an expensive toy for a few who can’t afford bicycle on his / her own but big voice in the cesspool. Is the mayor a retired fire hose holder ? (9) My wife drives a Lexus. One day she woke up with a dream to have Mercedes. I told her to get a hot cup of coffee (to activate brain).

Boulder Council: A proposal by Colleen Engel of

American Legal to codify the town minutes, filling of open positions on the Board of Adjustments, a proposal on a Boulder Health Services Program by Devaki Murch, burning of tumbleweeds on the side of Lower Boulder Road, the Wilson road complaint, the landfill, and Department reports discussed.

Boulder Council Cont'd from page 1

past. He has also served as an EMT and as a firefighter. Motions were made and passed to appoint Ripplinger and Fuller to fill the Board of Adjustments vacancies.

Zoning Administrator April O’Neal will be leaving Boulder in March. More information about the position will be advertised. If no applicants are found before she leaves, O’Neal has offered to help remotely in the interim until someone is found.

The annual Ethics and Open Training meeting was held, led by Town Clerk Judi Davis. Improper use of confidential information gained through the position is illegal, as is using the position for personal financial gain. No votes can be made without a quorum. Minimal notice must be given before meetings.

The annual schedule must be posted. Business of the public must be discussed in open meetings. Closed meetings may be held to discuss qualifications of applicants.

The Planning Commission had requested direction on what the Town Council wants them to work on this year. Priorities include finishing the codification of the ordinances and considering transportation.

Following this, resident Devaki Murch presented a proposal on the Boulder Health Services Program.

Murch discussed how she has been helping, with a group of others, to caretake another member of the community. The distance to medical services poses a problem not only for the elderly but also for residents in general.

Murch has created Boulderhealth.org, an organization starting internally within the town to support care for one another, such as providing rides to doctors appointments.

She asked if the Planning Commission could conduct a census of the town to learn more about what support services are needed. A member of the public spoke about how a family member recently had a heart attack and voiced his appreciation for how soon the EMTs arrived. He also stated that providing education opportunities about medical issues would be helpful. Another member of the public brought up mobile clinics, which exist in other areas.

Mayor Judy Drain suggested that Murch continue to reach out and speak to people, as many others in town likely will also want to help and will have good information and ideas. It was discussed that work should be done on drafting a letter and possible survey questions, which could then be disseminated through town.

Town Council Member Jimmy Catmull then discussed how the Fire Department will burn tumbleweeds by the side of Lower Boulder Road, however, they would like the landowners to be present. They will notify landowners when they will be there. Another Town Council member suggested that it might take more than one day to complete this project. In the future, the town could hire the Water Company to mow the sides of the road with their bush hog to help keep the weeds down throughout the year.

Projects for the coming year were then discussed.

EMS services need new extrication equipment, hoses, road braces to protect hoses from vehicular traffic, pagers, radios, and AED equipment.

Certain radios and pagers that they could purchase more of have been tested throughout

Boulder and work well. It was stated that Garfield County Commissioner Jerry Taylor said that the county has money that the town could apply for to get pagers. Another council member stated that the towers themselves also have to be maintained. It was discussed that the company who maintains the school fire extinguishers could come on a date that would be promoted to the public as well, so that home fire extinguishers could be maintenanced too. A motion was made and passed to approve the AED purchases, after some further research is conducted, but, ultimately, at the Department’s discretion.

This could come out of the COVID-relief funding, which is not a part of the town’s regular budget.

Other projects include cleaning up the town dumpster areas and putting an external router at the Community Center to allow better public access to Wi-Fi, as well as access for the Fire Department.

Discussion has occurred with South Central about installing an external booster. Additionally, designing and purchasing new signs for either side of town could be an option.

The Town Council then discussed the Wilson road complaint. Existing plat maps are inconsistent. There is no paperwork showing that the Town has ever let go of the road. Drain will be going to the County to get it straightened out and make sure that town maps will match the county maps. Based on a preexisting survey marker and the location of the fire hydrant at the end of the road, it is possible that the road should actually be about 15 feet further to the south, which would cut into existing structures. Additionally, it’s possible that the road should actually be 60 feet wide. If a surveyor ends up needing to be hired, it could end up causing issues on both sides of the road. Drain stated her hope that this can be resolved peacefully within the community. There are other roads in town that are in question as well. It was suggested that these issues may in part

be due to previous surveys that were conducted with old equipment vs. more modern surveying technology.

The landfill was then discussed. It was brought up that county residents pay the same landfill fees that Town residents pay in their taxes, so it was asked whether those outside of Town limits should be able to use the landfill in the same way as town residents.

Many questions were raised on this topic and more will be discussed next month.

The auditor had suggested that the Town consider using Utah Title Insurance.

Their current insurer is Olympus. They will speak with both companies to see where they can get the best prices.

Department reports followed.

Boulder Farmstead Water: Jones and DeMille is compiling a long-term study on Boulder Farmstead Water.

As soon as the full report has been received, they will share the information. This report will not contain any information about private wells. If a full hydrologic study is to be conducted, there would have to be monitoring devices in private wells. A motion was made and passed to tell the Planning Commission to table the hydrologic study until these results are shared.

Planning Commission: A CUP for a short term rental was approved. They used their development standards table for the first time for an RV park application. The discussion on roads and streets continued. Their next meeting will be Thursday 2/11 at 6 p.m.

Boulder Arts Council: A new exhibit is up in the Community Center with art by Amy Woodbury.

Tree City: Members of the public will be invited to a pruning workshop led by orchardists from Capital Reef.

This will occur in March. The final date has yet to be announced.

No public comments were made.

The Boulder Town Council meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m.

Ordinance 2022-2 describes a CAFO overlay zone located in two areas of Garfield County: one on the Notom Road near Sandy Ranch, and the other near the intersection of Highways 95 and

276.

A CAFO would need to meet the zoning overlays as well as Conditional Use standards and a comprehensive nutrient management plan to be reviewed and approved by the USDA. A new bill currently before the legislature removes the Feb. 1, 2022 deadline for county enactment, but even if

approved, that bill would not be in effect until signed by the Governor in late spring.

Schools & Sports PHS Sports Sidelines

by Mack Oetting

Panguitch Wrestlers are headed to the State Finals in hopes of their third straight championship win, both basketball teams win their away games, and the Region Tournament will take place Feb. 18 - 19 The tough guys are heading to Richfield for the State Finals in search of their third straight championship. I asked Frank Houston last week how the Cats did at the divisional in Bryce Valley. He said that 26 qualified for State and that Altamont was second with eight. I found the score of the meet, and the Cats blew away the competition with a score of 413.5, with Altamont getting a score of 136. I have the 1st place results for the team: 106, Randy Marshall; 120, Braxton Atkin; 126, Camersen Atkin; 132, Jacob Marshall; 138, Thomas Marshall; 150, Theron Evans; 157, Cael Houston; and at 215, Cole Havland. The rest of the 26 placed 2nd or 3rd. In Division B, Monticello has 13 going to State. The tournament starts on Friday, and the finals will be starting at 3:00 on Saturday. The scary thing is that this team is made up of a large crop of freshman and sophomores and should bring home many more championships.

The basketball teams won both of their away games, but they really struggled at the free throw line. We went down to Valley to watch the Lady Cats in action against a team that gave them problems when they played here in Panguitch.

The ladies won the game, 45 to 39, against a team that only has seven players. Tabbie Henrie came off the bench to save the team, scoring 18 points; none of the other players scored in double figures. I think that Valley will be a team to be reckoned with in our region and state, with them only having to play one game. On Thursday (tonight), the ladies have their last home game, and it will be against Milford.

I swore that I wouldn’t go to another ball game in Bryce Valley. They don’t have railings to go up their bleachers, and I didn’t know if I was going to make it down. The Cats also had a terrible night at the free throw line, making only one of them. They did win the game, with a close score of 39

to 34. Klyn Fullmer again was the high scorer with 18 points. There was a really big crowd, and they were treated to some fun basketball. The Cats played their last home game last night against Diamond Ranch—a team they beat last week by 30 points.

Next week, both teams will be playing here in the Region Tournament. It starts on Friday and runs all day long.

They rotate the girls and boys games, so you can watch games all weekend long. Oh, oh, where did the season go, and what will we do for fun around here? Regardless of how our teams do at state, we have been treated to some great entertainment. Many thanks to the coaches and their helpers for turning out such fun teams. I think players from both teams learned how putting hard work into the game resulted in success.

It is the same thing in life; you get out of it what effort you put into it.

Efforts to Avoid Probate Can Cause Problems

by Jeffery J. McKenna All sorts of helpful folks—including customer service people, account managers, and other employees of financial institutions— give customers advice about how to title accounts and name beneficiaries. However, seemingly harmless advice can cause many problems with estate plans in an effort to avoid probate.

Most new account forms at financial institutions ask you to name a beneficiary. Often, when filling out beneficiary designations, people do not understand how a share of the assets will be treated if that designated person predeceases them. Will the share of the deceased beneficiary go to their own descendants or to other named beneficiaries? Is that what you intended? Other problems occur when there are future children born who were not contemplated at the time the account was created.

Filling out beneficiary designations properly is critical.

Avoiding probate can be accomplished through accurate beneficiary designations, or use of a revocable trust.

Often a revocable trust can simplify the need to change designations in the event of changes in your life such as a divorce, marriage, or birth or

death of a family member.

With a revocable trust, you can simply modify one document, and it will take care of all of the accounts that are owned by the trust or has the trust named as a designated beneficiary. Sometimes it is difficult or impossible to make changes to beneficiary designation documents when a spouse becomes incapacitated, but a revocable trust can be drafted so that the healthy spouse has authority to amend documents without the signature of the incapacitated spouse. It is important to remember, however, that a revocable trust must be completely funded with the assets that would otherwise require probate in order to be effective.

What are “assets that would otherwise require probate?” These include anything titled in your sole name, without any other owners or any payable on death designation.

It also includes assets you own with another as a tenant in common that have not been funded into the trust. It doesn't include life insurance and retirement accounts, including IRAs, 401(k)s and annuities, as long as at least one designated beneficiary of the insurance policy or retirement account survives you.

t H e Out of Gas

When my father ran out of gas, he called my mother to pick him up in her car.

They went to a gas station, filled a gas can, and returned to his car.

After a few minutes, he got into her car again.

"We need to go back to the gas station," he said.

"One gallon wasn't enough" she asked.

"It would have been if I'd put it in the right car."

Dentist

As a dentist, I recently tried out a new chocolate-flavored pumice paste on my patients. No one liked it except for a six-year-old boy.

While I polished his teeth, he continued to smile and lick his lips. "You must really like this new flavor," I said.

"Yep," he replied, nodding with satisfaction. "It tastes just like the time I dropped my candy bar in the sandbox.

PUNishment

A police officer just knocked on my door and told me my dogs are chasing people on bikes. That's ridiculous. My dogs don't even own bikes!

Miracles

We were doing a science lesson on how plants grow.

The children all got a chance to plant their own seeds.

After a few days of watching the seedlings, I secretly exchanged a few seeds for the children whose plants did not sprout.

Several days later one of my students said: "Look Mrs. Gilligan, it's a miracle, my plant is growing."

I said: "Yes, seeds sprouting is very exciting."

He said: "No Mrs. Gilligan, that's not the miracle, I ATE the SEED and it is growing anyway!"

O bituaries Alma Magleby

RICHFIELD Longtime resident and businessman, Alma Gray Magleby, 83, passed away on February 3, 2022, in Richfield, Utah. Alma was born on August 27, 1938 to Neal S. and Crystal Gray Magleby in Richfield, Utah. He married his high school sweetheart, Gwendolyn Jensen, on September 11, 1958, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They were both members of the Richfield High School Class of 1956. Gwen preceded him in death on January 6, 2019.

Alma graduated from the California College of Mortuary Science in 1959, and then returned to Richfield to join his father and brother in running the business. Thirty-five years later, Alma’s son, Kelly, joined the firm making three Magleby generations in funeral service. During his career, he served as president of the Utah Funeral Directors Association. Alma worked as a funeral director compassionately serving Richfield and Southern Utah for over 60 years.

Alma led a life of service to his community. He was a past president of Richfield JayCees, Richfield Diners Club, Richfield Lions Club, and Richfield Independence Day Incorporated (IDI) Committee. He served as vice-president of the Utah State JayCees.

Alma was a recipient of the JayCees Key Man Award and the Richfield Distinguished Service Award. He was a member of the Elks Club in charge of the annual Elks Memorial Day for many years and chaired the Elks Student Scholarship Program.

He performed duties as manager of the Southern Utah Jr. Livestock Show and also worked as the show’s secretary for two decades. He served for over 30 years on Richfield’s IDI Committee and held the office of treasurer in addition to president.

He was recognized as Richfield’s “Mr. 4th of July,” and the City of Richfield has also honored Alma with the Mac Neal Magleby Service Award. He was a member of the Richfield Fire Department and received his 50 year service pin from the Utah State Firemen’s Association in 2021.

Alma was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many positions throughout his life. He loved his family and was a devoted husband and father. Alma found joy in watching and supporting his children’s achievements. He was known for his unending supply of “lucky” $2 bills he gave his grandchildren and for promoting the merits of conservative politics to anyone who would listen. Alma earned the loving title of “Great Grandpa Tickle” because of his attention to the little ones to the point of their happy squeals.

He is survived by two daughters and one son: Shelly (John) Hawley, Bakersfield, CA; Kim (Drew) Memmott, Chicago, IL; Kelly (Judy) Magleby, Richfield, UT; 9 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren; sister and sisters-in-law: Mary Nebeker, Barbara Wayman, and Pam Jensen.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The drought is still continuing, with no moisture on the news for the next seven days, making this winter one of the driest on record. The SLC area, since the first of the year, has only received less than 1” of the wet stuff. Watching the Olympics in China, they don’t have any snow either. If you watch the downhill races, only the race track has any, and the mountains surrounding the area are barren.

Without football, the Olympics fill in real nicely and are a lot more exciting. How do you ever practice all of those flips while racing down the hill on a snowboard? My thoughts are that the Winter Olympics are a lot more entertaining than the summer ones. I wonder how long these Olympics are going to continue, with hardly anyone in the stands. It was the same way for the summer games in Japan that were postponed a year because of the COVID-19. Even the competitor’s families weren’t allowed to attend and had to watch the events on TV.

The opening of the games has really gone high tech. What you think you are watching isn’t even there. But after 91 teams from all over the world march through, it gets a little boring. I figure that if you have a little talent and can’t make the U.S. team, move to Puerto Rico where they only had one competitor. However, it is a little tough finding snow there. Hawaii’s mountains have more snow than we have. Every good thing comes to an end. The Flying Tomato, Shawn White, who has won many, many medals, says that this will be his last snowboarding competition. I think he shouldn’t have cut his great hair, but he says he is quitting because of all of the injuries he has received over the years.

Well, it is February, and there is something special about this February. It won’t happen again for another 100 years, and in 200 years it will be really special. Stay tuned to the end of the column. If you are into numbers or play poker, you probably know.

Coming up next Monday will be the Valentine's dance at the Social Hall. Becky Henrie says the dance will start at 6:00 p.m. and run till 9:00 p.m., so that you can get to bed because school is the next day. This could turn into something big for the kids, and it will be a fun evening. During the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, dancing was a big deal here. There are still traces of dance halls around the county. Pat’s dad, Larry, used to ride his horse over from Widstoe to the dances in Kingston.

For those that have some vacation time on their hands, the 21st is the President's Day holiday, and the school will be out on the next day for professional development training for the teachers. So, take the kids to a warm place.

Well COVID isn’t going away, but it has slowed down 30% in the last month. At first, those that passed away were those that were old and in poor health. Now, it is just the opposite; it is affecting those that are younger and unvaccinated.

900,000 have died from the vi-

rus, and many of those were needless. Garfield County still has a large number (64) of cases reported in the last two weeks. Utah has only 61% of the population with full vaccinations.

To answer my question, back in the first start of a new century, I showed that each year had a special day, 01-0101. I thought that 12-12-12 would be the last. In each of those years, there was only one day with these numbers.

But this February, we had 0202-22, and later in the month, we will have 02-22-22. Yes, there will be other numbers in the future, including 03-03-33 in eleven years. In 100 years, these numbers will repeat themselves, however, in 200 years, there will be another number, 02-02-2222 and 0222-2222. I can’t wait to see it come about!

It is supposed to warm up this next week. Now, if the wind were to quite blowing, it would be nice again in Paradise.

Conservation Groups Blame Feds for Damage to Rare Dinosaur Tracks

by Mark Richardson, Utah News Connection

Courtesy Center for Biological Diversity

The Mill Creek Dinosaur Tracksite features more than 200 dinosaur tracks preserved in sedimentary rock, representing 10 distinct species of dinosaur.

MOAB - Conservation groups say it was a close call when a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) contractor began clearing a site near Moab which contained dinosaur tracks believed to be 112 million years old.

A wooden boardwalk was removed from a portion of the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Track-

site and some ground cover was cleared before work was stopped.

The Center for Biological Diversity heard about the incident on social media and fired off a cease and desist letter to the BLM to halt work.

Patrick Donnelly, director of the Great Basin Center at the Center for Biological Diversity,

said the federal land-management agency failed to follow its own regulations.

"The NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] document required there to be someone on site," Donnelly explained. "There was no one on site, so it was basically just some guy with a bulldozer going out there thinking he was doing the right thing because he didn't know any better and no one told him."

The BLM issued a statement saying workers at the site were improving areas for public access following a NEPA analysis, but did not damage the artifacts.

Donnelly disagreed, saying an inspection showed a backhoe had driven over as much as 30% of the site.

Donnelly pointed out part of the problem is the BLM is understaffed and trying to rebuild after four years of Trump administration attempts to dismantle the agency.

"This would not have

happened if they had a staff paleontologist," Donnelly asserted. "Not every BLM office in the country needs a staff paleontologist, but I would think the Moab field office does.

There's a lot of paleontology there."

Donnelly believes the destruction of resources at the site violates several federal laws, including the Federal Lands Policy and Management Act for failing to adhere to project approval documents.

"I would say that the immediate danger sort of has passed," Donnelly noted. "I am hopeful about this. We raised a big thing about it, and I think rightfully so, but I'm hoping we can get on the right track."

Mill Canyon is one of the largest and most diverse dinosaur track sites from the Early Cretaceous period in North America. The discovery was reported to the BLM in 2009, and research began in 2010.

O bituaries Dr. Gordon Rex Greener, DC

PANGUITCH - Dr. Gordon Rex Greener, DC, husband of Sara Lea Henrie Greener, (formerly of Panguitch, Utah) of Broken Bow, passed away February 1, 2022 at 77 years old.

His death came as a shock to his family, friends and loved ones. He insisted that he would never retire, and he managed to see clients within a week of his death. Doc really enjoyed helping people.

Born in California, he was the 2nd of 5 children born to Joseph Rex and Carol Marjorie (Bower) Greener. He graduated from Downy High school in Modesto, California. He spent a year in Alaska with his cousin, and then served a mission for the LDS church in 1964-5 in South Dakota and Canada. In 1965, Gordon married Rosalie Chandler, and they had 5 children together. He served in the Navy during Vietnam. He was a photographer in his early career and owned a store called Gordons Foto Facets in Livermore, California. He was also a Shaklee distributor and hosted nutritional seminars in his home. He spent time as a salesman and professional dog trainer while going to college.

He became a Chiropractor in 1982 and moved his family to Valliant, Oklahoma to open his first clinic. He eventually moved his clinic to Idabel and practiced there until 1995. He then moved his practice to Texas until returning to Oklahoma in 2007. His family and friends were thrilled to welcome him back.

In September 2013, Gordon married Sara Lea “Sally” Henrie. They were eternally sealed in the LDS temple in St. George, Utah on July 23, 2015. Gordon and Sally had 8 wonderful years together living in Broken Bow and travelling often to explore areas, visit their families and collect fascinating rocks and fossils. Gordon had recently taken up metal detecting and was having a wonderful time digging for treasures in the earth.

Gordon is survived by his wife, Sara Lea “Sally” Greener, three daughters, Aleta Greener of Hollycreek, Adele and Daniel Parker of Goodwater, and Lydia and Jimmy Williams of Idabel, two stepsons, Bryan and Monica Heaton of Kaysville, UT and Jimmy and Amber Heaton of Austin, TX, one brother, Victor Greener of Fresno, CA, and two sisters, Diane Snoderly of Modesto, CA and Amy Bunger of Upland, NE, and one brother-in-law, Burdell and Pat Henrie of Panguitch Lake, UT, three sisters-in-law, Bernice and Don Miller of Keno, OR, and Arlene “Toi” Williamson of Boise, ID, and Marlene “Beanie” and Robert Palmer of Pleasant View, UT. He has 13 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, and numerous beloved nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, two infant sons, Rex and Glen Greener, his brother and wife, Joseph and Sherry Greener, his niece Leah Snoderly and two great grandchildren, Willow and Conner Ulm. There is a memorial service planned for February 12th (Saturday) at 3 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 2424 SE Lincoln Rd. in Idabel, Oklahoma.

There will be a graveside service at the Panguitch Cemetery in Panguitch, Utah to be scheduled at a later date during Spring.

by John Mosley The Sky Report is presented as a public service by the Stellar Vista Observatory, a nonprofit organization based in Kanab, Utah, which provides opportunities for people to observe, appreciate, and comprehend our starry night sky. Additional information is at www.stellarvistaobservatory.org. Send questions and comments to John@StargazingAdventures.org.

Stars twinkle because their extremely narrow beams of light are distorted as they pass through layers of our atmosphere that are different temperatures, and the beams are refracted by slightly different amounts. We see this continuously changing refraction as rapid twinkling.

Bright moonlight compromises stargazing this week. The moon doesn’t pass close to anything that would make an interesting conjunction, so it’ll be a slow week for stargazers.

There is some interest in the morning sky where you can see three planets. Venus is the only one that is obvious, and it is obvious, shining as the brilliant “Morning Star” in the southeast. Telescopically, Venus is a thick crescent very slowly growing thicker by the day. It’s also rising earlier each morning until late March.

Notice that Venus doesn’t twinkle as the stars do. Stars twinkle because their extremely narrow beams of light are distorted as they pass through layers of our atmosphere that are different temperatures, and the beams are refracted by slightly different amounts. We see this continuously changing refraction as rapid twinkling. The beam of light coming from

Venus is much thicker, because Venus appears larger in our sky, and the continuously refracting beams of light cause Venus to be blurry as seen through a telescope. In general, the planets don’t twinkle when the stars do, and you can check this out for yourself.

For an interesting article on Venus in various cultures, Google “Venus in Culture” and go to the Wikipedia website. You’ll learn, for example, about very precise Maya observations of Venus and that the Pawnee Indians of the Great Plains sacrificed a young girl to the Morning Star; the last sacrifice was as late as 1838.

Mars is 6°—the width of three fingers held at arm’s length—to the lower right of Venus at the 5:00 position.

Mars is only 1/100th as bright as Venus, but, perhaps, its subtle orange color will help give it away. It’s the brightest “star” in that region of the sky, which happens to be Sagittarius.

Mercury is about 16°

to the lower left of Venus, at the 7:00 position. Mercury is brighter than any nearby star, but it’s so low you’ll want to use binoculars. Mercury is as far from the sun, angle-wise, as it will come, which is 26°, on the 16th, so you have a fair chance to see it. Next week, Mercury begins to move around to the far side of the sun, and by month’s end, we’ll lose it.

Jupiter and Saturn are behind the sun. Saturn reappears first, and it’ll be very close to Mercury on March 2nd (mark your calendar).

John Mosley was Program Supervisor of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for 27 years and is the author of “Stargazing for Beginners” and “Stargazing with Binoculars and Telescopes.” He and his wife live in St. George, where he continues to stargaze from his retirement home while serving on the advisory committee for Stellar Vista Observatory.

PANGUITCH - Heaven gained a true angel on February 1, 2022. Ardith Roe Davis, age 89, peacefully passed in the home her father built, which she was born in; a longheld wish. She was surrounded with love by all six of her children. Ardith was born on December 6, 1932, in Panguitch, Utah to Wilford and Ruby Roe. She graduated from Panguitch High School.

A pillar of the Panguitch community, Ardith’s hands created heirloom quilts, crocheted afghans, painted holiday ceramics for her children, and hand-dipped her wellknown chocolates and turtles. She cooked for her community at the Senior Citizen Center for 13 years after retiring from Sears management in 1993. She loved volunteering her time to her community and church. She was honored to receive the Volunteer of the Year Award. Her green thumb maintained a beautiful home and garden where she made room for everyone. Her heart was a soft place to land for all. Everyone who walked into her home said it felt like love. She exuded love. She enjoyed traveling the world with her family, many road trips, and loved trying new, adventurous activities. One of her favorites were roller coasters even at 80 years of age. “The more loops the better!”

After meeting Jim Davis in 1950 at a local dance, they were married and sealed in the Manti Temple. Together, they created a family that includes their six children: Janet (Mike), Rodney (Lana), Kevin (LaRie), Debra (Richard), Karen (Brent) and Michelle (Bob); 22 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren.

Ardith is preceded in death by her husband, Jim; parents; brothers Earl and Ken Roe; and sisters, Winona, Beverly and Thais; and her two sons-in-law, Jeff Roberts and Timothy Scott Buehner. We are comforted to know she is now in their arms.

Ardith’s Celebration of Life was held on Monday, February 7, 2022, at 11:00 a.m., in the Panguitch 1st Ward Chapel, 550 S. 100 W. The family received friends at a viewing Sunday evening, from 6 - 7 p.m. and Monday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the same location. Burial was in the Panguitch City Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com The family would like to thank everyone in the Panguitch community for their love, care, and support of our mother.

We can only wish to be as loved as this amazing woman was. A model of strength, patience, humor and so much more. Heaven will no doubt enjoy her cinnamon rolls, chocolates, sparkling blue eyes, and unwavering love. We love and miss you dearly, mom! A wonderful role model you have been.

Ryan and Cynthia: When I met Ryan, I felt like I already knew him. It was

amazing. It was this instant connection. So we went on a first date and we’ve been together ever since.—Cynthia Kimball Davis Ryan and Cynthia Cont'd from page 1

and moved on to new horizons (as well as warmer climates) in St. George. There, he picked up a new job at Rainbow Sign and Banner.

Stepping back a few notches in our timeline—to include an important part of the story—during the latter years as publisher of The Insider, Ryan had signed on a newspaper contributor, Cynthia Kimball, who submitted a weekly column that she called “Every1Counts.”

“I was working for Southwest Tech in Cedar, and we reached out to the rural papers for a column for the college. When I was done with the college, and I was going back to graduate school, I wanted to write. I’d been connected to Ryan through his paper, and I reached out to him and asked him if I could write a column, just because I loved nonfiction and I wanted to write,” said Cynthia.

As Ryan remembers it, he said to her, “Send me what you’ve got, so I can see if it fits with the community and I was like, ‘something light, and uplifting!’ I was like, yeah, perfect. Because bad news sells—we know that.

But good news, we need it.”

And so…from 2008 through 2012 (when Ryan sold the paper), Cynthia contributed her column. Yet during those four years, they never did meet once in person.

“We always texted, emailed, spoke on the phone, and later we determined that we were probably at some of the rural county ball games [at the same time] but we didn’t know it,” said Cynthia.

After Ryan sold the newspaper in 2012 and moved to St. George—and knowing she was in the area at the time— occasionally he’d think, "Maybe I’ll run into Cynthia." But, he said, “I never, ever ran into Cynthia. I was hoping I could meet her, because she had that cute little picture [with her column in the paper], and she was super nice. But I never pursued it because I thought, ‘she’s out of my league,’” said Ryan.

“I did want to say,” interjected Cynthia, “In all the communications with Ryan, I thought he was just the nicest guy, he was always so kind and I just always thought I hope I someday get to meet him. Just super nice, super kind, always positive.”

Time went by. Cynthia continued work on her PhD at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, and for her dissertation, she chose a project in which she interviewed nine individuals “that provided hope to me,” she said. She selected three in the business domain, three in education, and three in healthcare. Ryan was among those she selected to interview in the business domain.

“So I interviewed him on the phone—without still having met him—for my dissertation. And I had to send him an authorization form and say, ‘are you OK with it.’ And even while I read his transcript I’m like, ‘this is a really nice guy.’”

Ryan affirms the story.

“She tells it pretty much how it was. She called me up for the interview. And I was like, ‘how could I offer hope to anybody.’ That was really my first thought. I was like ‘what the heck.’”

Yet, somehow, this inter-

Snow Geese: Seeing those

thousands of geese in flight makes for incredible photos. Watching and hearing the geese take off can take your breath away.

It’s a great family activity, and we encourage you to come out and see these amazing birds in flight.—Adam Kavalunas, DWR Regional Outreach Manager

morning, you can watch the geese feeding in fields that surround the reservoir. Then, between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., the geese take off and fly back to the reservoir.

“Seeing those thousands of geese in flight makes for incredible photos,” DWR Regional Outreach Manager Adam Kavalunas said.

“Watching and hearing the geese take off can take your breath away. It’s a great family activity, and we encourage you to come out and see these amazing birds in flight.”

After landing on the reservoir, the geese usually spend the next few hours there. Then, sometime between 4-6 p.m., the birds take off again and fly back to the fields. DWR biologists will watch which fields the geese fly to. If you arrive after the geese have left the reservoir, the biologists will direct you to the fields where the geese are feeding.

Here are a few tips and reminders for anyone attending the goose viewing event: • Try to bring your own binoculars or a spotting scope

to view the geese. If you get too close to the birds, you could scare them away.

• Please respect private property. Trespassing to view the geese is not legal.

• For your safety, if you pull off the road to view the geese, pull as far off the road as you can.

• Be prepared for cold, wet weather by dressing in layers that will help you stay warm and dry.

change is what finally clinched their first date—and to make the story even better—it took place on Valentine’s Day, 2014. Ryan met Cynthia at her apartment in Las Vegas.

“When I met Ryan, I felt like I already knew him. It was amazing. It was this instant connection,” said Cynthia.

“So we went on a first date and we’ve been together ever since.”

Ryan and Cynthia got married in the Las Vegas LDS Temple in 2014, lived in St. George a short while, and soon found a new place to live up the road. “We were having fun just doing weekend gigs, just travelling, looking at all the little towns up and down around St. George for a place and we found one in New Harmony. It was gorgeous,” said Ryan. The location made it easier for their split commutes to St. George, for Ryan, and to Cedar City, for Cynthia, for her work at Southern Utah University.

In another great twist to their story, Ryan had done some genealogical research, and discovered that he had a great, great, great grandfather, Alfred Hadden, who had owned property in New Harmony, and he may very well have owned some of the property right around the property they’d bought together.

“I didn’t know I had family from there until I lived there,” said Ryan. ”I went back and found the records, from the 1800s, of property, but they didn’t have accurate locations and stuff back then, so we couldn’t pinpoint exactly where it was, but the description that we read in his genealogy very well could have been right where we bought.”

Alfred Hadden, a Kentucky native, had helped build the Nauvoo Temple in Illinois, and Ryan and Cynthia decided to get sealed in the Nauvoo Temple. When Ryan had freed himself from the newspaper, in 2012, the first vacation he took had been to Nauvoo, so that, too, felt right. At the time he’d stayed in a B&B that had been Willard Richards’ home, who had been a secretary to the LDS prophet Joseph Smith. When Ryan and Cynthia went back to Nauvoo together, they stayed there again,

and also did a little more research on Alfred Hadden.

They learned that when Hadden had been sealed to his own wife at Nauvoo, “The witness, the person who signed the paper was guess who? Williard Richards—who’s house we’d stayed in,” said Ryan.

Everything felt cosmically connected.

After a few years in New Harmony, Ryan and Cynthia moved to Cedar City, where Cynthia could be closer to her job, and Ryan opened his own sign business. They lived there for two and a half years, before coming back to Loa. Had Ryan planned on coming back to Wayne County? Not exactly. But Ryan’s dad, Dick Davis, decided it was time to retire from operating The Snuggle Inn. “Everything just fell into place,” said Ryan. Ryan is running the hotel, Cynthia continues to work at SUU which she can do mostly remotely, and she’s back to writing a column for The Insider.

After seven years of marriage, do they have thoughts on a successful relationship?

“We’ve thought of writing a book,” said Ryan.

“On what we’ve learned,” said Cynthia.

“We all can do things that are kind of crappy,” said Cynthia. “But to focus on when that person is in their best element. And to remember that, and focus on that. I think that really helps me. Focus on that person when they’re at their best. That helps.”

Ryan continues the thought: “Instead of what you’re doing wrong…If we get irritated with each other over something, and don’t see things eye to eye, we start looking at what we are doing right.”
