Nicholas Mustoe, a forester at Fishlake National Forest, discusses tree rings with 4-H youth.

WAYNE COUNTY Wayne County 4-H youth have been investigating the history of forests, wood, and crafting.

Nicholas Mustoe, a forester at Fishlake National Forest spoke with 4-H youth about his work with the U.S. Forest Service. The youth have been learning about the dozens of historic and current sawmills throughout the county and how wood is harvested and processed for a wide range of projects from log cabins to art projects. Whether wood carving, wood burning, or building with wood, they’ve had experiences using wood in many different types of projects.

On Wednesday February 21st at 6:00PM the entire community is invited to join in the fun at a FREE community

dinner at the Wayne County Community Center in Bicknell. The community night will include a free meal, historical perspectives on local sawmills, exhibits and demonstrations of locally made wood products, along with woodrelated activities. To register for the free meal, call the USU Extension/4-H Office at 435836-1312.

Our next cultural heritage theme is baskets, rugs, and weaving. 4-H youth activities will take place February 22 & 27, March 1 & 6 at the Loa Civic Center from 3:005:00PM. All children grades 3 and up are invited to attend these free after school activities. Youth will be discussing how native peoples and pioneers wove baskets, rugs, and

Trump Wrongly Cut Monuments Central to Our Vision for Public Lands

A

by Stephen trimble

fter Donald Trump’s brief visit to Utah on Dec. 4, Patagonia’s home page declared, “The President stole your lands.” The outdoor company did not exaggerate. Trump’s proclamations whacked away at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, with no regard given to the careful deliberation in establishing their original boundaries.

He revoked protections for land rich in fossils and archaeological sites. He opened ecologically rich wildlands to extractive industries. And he broke yet another federal commitment to Native America at Bears Ears, the first national monument dedicated to Indian culture.

Utah congressmen introduced two bills the next day to codify the president’s executive orders. These bills would install local Utah county commissioners as managers at diminished monuments and at a newly created sham national

park. They would transfer ownership of public lands to the state and would escalate Trump’s rejection of sciencebased conservation. Full of poison pills, the bills will never pass.

One aspect of this depressing mess has received little attention. National monuments like Grand Staircase and Bears Ears — managed by the Bureau of Land Management — have a different mission than national monuments or parks managed by the National Park Service.

The Park Service has a challenging dual charge, conserving the land and providing for the enjoyment of the people. BLM land, defined as “multiple-use” land, gives equal weight to many “judicious” uses of “diverse resources,” though this does not mean using every acre for every use. Recreation is dispersed, with little infra-

other household items. They’ll learn about weaving tools and create woven crafts. Finally, they’ll play games exploring the wide variety of materials that are used for weaving from yarn to pine needles. The free community dinner event for the weaving theme will be held Wednesday March 14 at 6PM at the Wayne County Community Center in Bicknell.

We’re looking for historic photos related to any of our themes. Right now, we’re particularly interested in people with experience in weaving that would like to share their expertise as part of the after school program or during the community event. If you’re willing to share, please contact Annette Lamb at info@ entradainstitute.org or call 435-425-3415. This project is made possible through a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Entrada Institute.

Local Singer/Songwriter Mary Kaye to Offer "Super Power" Workshops at Wayne & Bryce Valley High Schools BICKNELL - There has never been a better time in history for independent artists who have music, art, humor or skills to share. The digital age has made it possible for an artist living in rural Utah to share their art with people from all over the world and earn a healthy living from their efforts. For singer/songwriter and Escalante resident, Mary Kaye, this is the reality she has worked for and enjoys.

Mary Kaye Knaphus, known professionally as Mary Kaye, got a late start in music in what most would be considered an industry for the young. She was 39 years old and expecting her 10th child when she got her first guitar and started writing music about her life in the rural West.

Eleven years later, she has garnered many awards including a Wrangler Award from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Her work takes her to concert halls and festivals all over the world. Mary Kaye

has built a career with the help of her husband and manager, Brad, without the help of a label and is she is excited to share her knowledge with our communities in the next couple of weeks.

As part of an educational

outreach program designed for Utah's rural communities, Mary Kaye will be doing two school assemblies at Wayne High and Bryce Valley entitled "Making Money with your SuWorkshops

"How to Run for Office" Campaign Training Workshop Offered February 24 BOULDER - “Civic engagement,” when we choose to do so, generally entails voting, writing letters to officials, making phone calls, maybe even marching to support or protest a policy.

But how many of us have actually been involved in a campaign? Helped with fundraising? Knocked on doors or stuffed envelopes for a candidate? Been a candidate ourselves?

The apex of civic engagement may indeed be running

for office. And yet, the mechanics of doing that seem so daunting that most people probably, at most, give it a passing thought, then move on.

On Saturday, Feb 24, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Boulder Community Center, curious bystanders or campaign-wannabees can hear firsthand “How To Run For Office.” This workshop is a series of training workshops conducted by the Utah Democratic Party across the

state. However, it’s not solely for Democrats. It’s an attempt to make this aspect of civic engagement understandable, reachable, doable for anyone.

In addition to information on running a campaign, fundraising, and some of the specifics involved in campaigning for office, you can also find out about tracking bills in the Legislature, registering to vote, or signing ballot initiative/candidate petitions.

Public Lands

forest, park or wildlife refuge.

When President Clinton created Grand Staircase-Escalante from existing BLM land in 1996, his Interior Department, led by Secretary Bruce Babbitt surprised folks who assumed the new monument would go to the National Park Service.

Babbitt and his team wanted to allow these exceptional public lands to remain with the Bureau of Land Management.

Grand Staircase became the seed for a new system of protected lands in America.

Each new large national monument proclaimed on BLM land since Grand Staircase stayed with the BLM and remained in multiple-use.

These 27 national monuments have become the core units of what we now call the National Conservation Lands System, acknowledged in a 2009 law as a permanent part of the public trust. Managers long focused on grazing and fossil fuel extraction have been asked to modernize and broaden the agency’s culture to include conservation and restoration.

These monuments are not “land grabs.” They were BLM public lands before designation and they remain BLM public lands after designation.

Grazing, hunting, and valid existing mineral rights continue — unlike national parks.

The proclamation for each monument says so, and these proclamations are law.

Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke has targeted two additional National Conservation Lands for reduction. Cascade-Siskiyou on the OregonCalifornia border is a hotspot of biodiversity and climate change research. And Gold Butte, with phenomenal rock art and Paiute cultural sites is Nevada’s “piece of the Grand Canyon.” As in Utah, Zinke disdains the resources highlighted by these monument proclamations.

Let’s honor the vision behind these large-scale preserves. Just as Wallace Stegner famously described national parks as “America’s best idea,” our system of BLM national monuments just might be Bruce Babbitt’s best idea.

As national parks grow ever more crowded, we’ll need to protect the open spaces of surrounding BLM lands to preserve our opportunities for exploration and selfdiscovery, for a sense of the frontier, for discoveries by scientists to questions we haven’t yet asked.

Few places remain with the wild integrity of southern Utah’s redrock canyon country. After the lawsuits play out that surely will find Trump in violation of the law in his heedless downsizing of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase, we’ll need to heal the rifts left by the chaos triggered by the president. Let’s start thinking now about how we can regain the conservation momentum we’ve lost.

Stephen Trimble serves on the board of Grand Staircase Escalante Partners, the “friends” organization for the monument. His most recent book is Red Rock Stories: Three Generations of Writers Speak on Behalf of Utah’s Public Lands. He is a resident of Torrey.

structure. Conservation and science can flourish alongside hunting and livestock grazing.

The full-sized Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments link national parks and national forests, from Bryce Canyon to Canyonlands. Connecting these preserves allows regional management on a scale first envisioned in the 1930s.

The unbroken expanses of protected areas form a buffer and matrix for wilderness, for ecologically sensitive springs, for Native sacred sites. Chopping them up in difficult-to-manage islands blocks wildlife migration.

Transferring jurisdiction from trained scientists and public lands professionals to local politicians runs the risk of parochial and misguided decisions.

These BLM public lands have always been seen as the leftovers, mostly desert, unworthy of becoming a national Workshops

Utah's Animal-Protection Laws Rank in Bottom Five SALT LAKE CITY - Utah has some of the least punitive laws in the country for animal abuse and neglect, according to a new report. Researchers at the Animal Legal Defense Fund rated the Beehive State 47th in the country in its 12th annual Animal Protection Law rankings, coming out ahead of only Wyoming, Iowa and Kentucky.

Lora Dunn, with the ALDF, says one of the biggest issues for Utah is that it doesn't have a legal provision for including animals in a domesticviolence protection order.

"We know that often, human victims of domestic violence will not leave their abusive situations out of fear

for what might happen to their pets - and then, don't leave the home," she says. "So, it's a really important tool for getting these folks out of harm's way, and getting the animals out of harm's way as well."

In Utah, veterinarians also aren't legally required to report suspicion of animal abuse. However, Dunn says the state has made some progress, adding a felony category for cases of extreme abuse or torture. And in 2015, Utah passed a law prohibiting cities from banning all dogs of any specific breed.

The report lists the states in the top five for protecting animals as Illinois at number one, followed by Oregon,

Maine, California and Rhode Island.

Dunn says Utah law does not provide for extra penalties for multiple animal victims, or when the abuse is committed in front of a minor.

"Where a child is present during the abuse of an animal, perhaps in a domestic violencetype situation, that the penalty should be increased in those circumstances," she adds.

The report notes that Utah is one of the only states that leaves it up to a judge whether to force a convicted abuser to surrender the animal - something she says is mandatory in many other states.

Marriage: Increase the Joy withbyCompassion G l p Ae ynn

eterSon

WAyne County uSu extenSion

F

ebruary is the month when our thoughts typically are turned to Love and developing relationships.

I hope most of you are smiling now instead of rolling your eyes! But I’m sure there is some of each happening. So today I would like to present some information from the National Healthy Marriage Institute that is important but not necessarily one of the things you think about when your mind ponders on improving relationships.

Do you like feeling angry? Can you think of a time when something really good has happened in a relationship from being angry or when you are angry? Would you like to have a suggestion to help extinguish that angry feeling so some actual progress can be made?

Compassion is a tool that can help you extinguish anger and help you see your partner’s point of view and help them see your point of view.

The key is to learn how to

manage the emotion of compassion and use it in ways that can strengthen your marriage.

What is compassion?

Compassion is the emotion that fills you with an intense desire to do everything you can to help someone in need.

When you are in a conflict with your partner, it’s hard to imagine that your partner is the person in need but let me give you example from the National Healthy Marriage Institute. Picture in your mind your spouse coming to pick you up from work. He or she is running late as usual but this time is extra late. You are cold, tired, hungry and have had a very difficult day. When your spouse drives up, he/she has tears in their eyes and blood on their shirt and they tell you they have just witnessed a car accident and a child has died in their arms. Any of your feelings of hurt and anger have dissipated. It is still cold, you are still hungry and have had a difficult day. But you are filled with compassion. What

changed was the focus from what YOU were feeling to what your SPOUSE must be feeling! This is the key to tapping into compassion. You have to learn to change the focus from what you are feeling to what your spouse is feeling even in minor disagreements and in moments of peace and calm, talk to your spouse about what you are trying to accomplish – improved relationships!

Being able to tap into compassion is not easy – especially in the middle of conflict but the rewards are worth it.

Give it a try and the more you do it the easier it will become.

As you become more compassionate, negative feelings during disagreements will diminish, the level of emotional intimacy will increase and the quality of physical intimacy will be enhanced.

Have a happy and compassionate February!

Interior Secretary Zinke Prioritizes Conservation & Big Game Migration Corridors Signs Order Directing More Resources Toward Habitat Restoration, Conservation, Collaboration and Research

SALT LAKE CITY Last week, at the Western Conservation and Hunting Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke signed Secretarial Order 3362, which will improve habitat quality and western big game winter range and migration corridors for antelope, elk, and mule deer. The order fosters improved collaboration with states and private landowners and facilitates all parties using the best available science to inform development of guidelines that helps ensure that robust big game populations continue to exist.

The order seeks to improve wildlife management and conservation and expand opportunities for big game hunting by improving priority habitats within important and migration corridors across the West. Priority states currently include Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

"We all know that animals go where animals want to go, and more often than not that's dependent upon natural features like watersheds, rather than whether land is owned by the BLM, state, or private landowners. We need to manage appropriately.

My goal is healthy herds for American hunters and wildlife watchers, and this order will help establish better migration corridors for some of North America's most iconic big game species like elk, mule deer and antelope," said Secretary Zinke. "American hunters are the backbone of big game conservation efforts, and now working with state and private landowners, the Department will leverage its land management and scientific expertise to both study the migration habits of

wildlife as well as identify ways to improve the habitat.

For example, this can be done by working with ranchers to modify their fences, working with states to collaborate on sage brush restoration, or working with scientists to better understand migration routes."

States are prioritizing migration initiatives to better understand the habits of animals like mule deer, elk, and antelope; however, there is much work the federal government can do to better understand the animals and improve habitat. The migration patterns of these species cross over thousands of miles of all types of land including federal, private, state, and tribal. For example, in southern Utah, mule deer travel up to 110 miles into Arizona from Bryce Canyon National Park into the Arizona strip area. They cross state, private, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Forest Service land.

These species also cross tribal lands and use highway underpasses and critical public land habitats along that annual journey. The Secretarial Order initiative will help with many aspects of solving the challenges encountered along the pathways of these migratory routes.

“We greatly appreciate Secretary Zinke’s commitment to improving the habitat quality of big game migratory corridors and winter range on lands managed by the department’s bureaus,” said Mule Deer Foundation President and CEO, Miles Moretti. “Big game populations have faced increasing challenges during their seasonal migrations and in the crucial winter period.

Federal public lands play a critical role in the annual life cycle of mule deer and blacktailed deer and we pledge our

wholehearted support and engagement to implement Secretarial Order 3362.”

Zinke continued, "Utah is ground zero for this kind of initiative on the state level and we are looking forward to partnering with them and other states in the future. Working together we will strengthen herds and ensure big game hunting is passed down from generation to generation."

"We appreciate Secretary Zinke's recognition of the importance of wildlife migration corridors," said Mike Styler, Executive Director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. "This aligns with, and significantly bolsters, the Utah Migration Initiative to identify the critical corridors and better focus our successful Watershed Restoration practices that enhance big game."

Earlier in the day, Secretary Zinke was joined by the Mule Deer Foundation and volunteers to capture, tag, collar, and release mule deer for research. The tagging and collaring the deer will allow scientists to gather more data and shed light on the migration habits of the species.

The goal of this effort lies at the heart of our conservation mission, ensuring the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage. In order to do that we must maintain a focus on winter range and migration corridors for elk and other wildlife,” said Blake Henning, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation chief conservation officer. “We support stronger collaboration between landowners, agencies, conservation groups like RMEF and all others seeking to enhance habitat for the benefit of our wildlife populations.”

Wrestlers Take 2nd at State Meet THE PANGUITCH BOBCAT TOUGH GUY WRESTLERS HOLD ON TO TAKE 2ND AT THE STATE MEET. THE LAST TIME THEY WON A TROPHY WAS CLEAR BACK IN 2002.

LANDON BECKSTEAD @120# AND ZACK JULANDER @ 135# TOOK FIRST PLACE IN THEIR WEIGHT CLASS. After losing 5 state champs last year, this is a remarkable feat. Panguitch bounced back from a rough start to move from 5th to 2nd to edge out the Wayne Badgers. Doctor Marshall who is the coach and a great former wrestler from PHS and his assistances did a really outstanding job with this team this year.

106# Porter Schoppe 2nd 113# Dakota Hatch 3rd 152# Parker Brinkerhoff 3rd 160# Keston Matthew 4th 195# Chad Veater 4th 220# Wyatt Tebbs 4th Wrestling is a team event and all 19 of our competitors scored points,that helped in their 2nd place victory. Monticello who has built a wrestling dynasty again won the championship.

Both of the Panguitch basketball teams won both of their game rather handily. The Lady Cats against Valley took a commanding lead into the locker room 35 to 6 and they kinda let up, finishing up with 58 to 32 final victory. Kapri had a great game finishing with 28 and Karlee Eyre had a career high with 18pts with making 4 – 3s.

Against Water Canyon it was another romp with the Ladies running away with an 84 to 17 victory. (Fortunately Water Canyon will be moving up to 2A next year) Brittney had another big night scoring 22 and hitting on 5 more 3s, to run her 3s this year to 53 and a career 107. Kapri also chipped in another 20, both playing limited time.

The Boys also had a big week with wins over Escalante and Piute. Escalante went

Bryce Valley High School Girls' Basketball 2018

down 94 to 25. With Acey and Jace both finishing with 18 in limited time. It was good to see Kanyon Lamb back in the game after suffering a terrible leg injury, finished with 18. I bet coach Norris was glad to see Kanyon back running like a deer, he is a critical part of his track team.

In the last game against Piute the Cats had big lead going into the last quarter, when the TBirds came alive and closed to within 6 points at the buzzer. Coach Barney wasn’t going to have anything like that happen this game and the Cats really poured it to them. Leading by nine at the half in a hard fought first half, Jace Eyre had scored 17 in the first half, however he missed all of his outside shots. Jace came back just a blazing, hitting 4- 3s and ending up with a career high 31 points. Trevor

Wolfley also had a career night finishing with 20 pts. Again the Cats are playing tough team defense shutting down the T Birds to only 44 points.

The Cats finished with 73 pts. against a very well coached Piute team.

Our State Campion Bobbett’s (sp?) performed at half time during the Girls game and showed the fans why they were the Champs with a well performed routine. The girls are coached by Karma __________ (sorry) whose daughter also danced for the crowd, and boy is she good.

Both the Boys and Girls will start region playoffs this Thursday. The games will be alternated between the boy and the girls and our teams play at 6 and 8 at Canyon View High.

Saturday the games will start at 1pm, check with the school for times.

Statewide Change Gives Students with Disabilities Diploma Options SALT LAKE CITY - An amended state education rule scheduled to go into effect in early February will allow students with disabilities additional options when attaining a diploma and gaining employment.

The Utah State Board of Education gave final approval to administrative rule R277-705 Secondary School Completion Diploma in December after a subcommittee of educators and advocates from around the state surveyed stakeholders and recommended the changes. As amended, the rule provides a standard for awarding what will be known as a “career development credential.”

The intent of the change is to increase opportunities for students with disabilities to meaningfully participate in their educational programs, while acquiring the necessary skills to gain employment post high school. The credential is

intended to be earned in conjunction with a regular high school diploma or alternate diploma and does not replace either.

Board Member Linda Hansen, who represents District 3 and resides in West Valley City, led a subcommittee that advocated for the changes to the rule.

“It’s exciting for those of us in the special needs world.

We’re raising expectations for our students with disabilities, and it’s a big systems change.

Students with disabilities who have employment lead happier and more productive lives.

This puts them in the pathway of getting jobs,” she said.

Students with an Individual Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 plan may be awarded a career development credential if they meet requirements of a “career focused work experience” prior to leaving school.

The career experience

must be consistent with state and federal law, the student’s IEP or Section 504 plan, and prior to receiving the credential, the student must earn credit in core academic content areas.

Additionally, the credential will require 120 hours of community-based work experience, completion of a transition curriculum class or coursework, and 0.5 credits in an internship. Students who may struggle to find employment, including those in rural areas, have the option of working through a vocational rehabilitation counselor.

“The Board was really forward thinking when they created the career development credential to add onto a regular or alternate high school diploma,” said Leah Voorhies, assistant superintendent of student support. “This is such a great opportunity for students with disabilities to prepare while in school to be

employed after high school.”

Utah is one of a handful of states to move in this direction, and its rule is unique in that it affords students the opportunity to earn credit for coursework related to career development, experience meaningful employment during high school and then earn a formal credential to add to their diploma regardless of the type or severity of their disability. When employers see the credential, they will know that students who earned it have consciously and intentionally prepared for the workforce.

For additional information on rule implementation at a local level, contact Rich Nye or Noelle Converse. Both served on the subcommittee that recommended the changes.

The letter will usually show the total cost of attendance for one year, including tuition, fees, room, meals, books, supplies, transportation and personal expenses.

It may also show how much the student’s family is expected to pay toward those costs, the expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC

is subtracted from the total cost of attendance to get a student’s financial need. The letter will then list various sources of financial aid offered to pay for the costs not covered by the EFC. Students can accept or reject any or all of those proposed sources.

Students can also appeal the awards if their family’s financial circumstances have changed.

One consideration is how much of the aid being offered is in federal student loans, which have to be repaid. If the package includes federal loans

and isn’t enough to pay all expenses, students may be looking at a private loan. Comparison shopping is a must in that case.

But don’t choose a school based simply on cost. A more expensive college can be a better choice than a less expensive one that isn’t a good fit. Transferring or dropping out can increase the total cost of a college degree.

KHEAA is a public, nonprofit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial

aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents.

KHEAA also helps colleges manage their student loan default rates and verify information submitted on the FAFSA. For more information about those services, visit www. kheaa.com.

In addition, KHEAA disburses private Advantage Education Loans for its sister agency, KHESLC. For more information about Advantage Education Loans, visit www. advantageeducationloan.com.

Estate Planning for Life

by JeFFery J. mCKennA In doing estate planning, it is essential to plan not only for death—but for life.

Lifetime planning involves preparing for the care and management of assets in the event you become incapacitated.

There are two main objectives of lifetime planning.

First, it is important to plan for the effective administration of your estate upon incapacity. Second, it is important to preserve the estate if your incapacity requires professional long-term care.

Effective administration of your estate during incapacity. In planning for the administration of your estate during incapacity, it is critical that certain documents be executed.

All individuals engaging in estate planning should strongly consider executing a durable power of attorney.

A durable power of attorney will enable someone else to manage your assets should you become unable to manage your own assets for any reason. If the power of attorney is not “durable” (which means it specifically states that it will be effective in the event of your incapacity), it will not be effective if you become incapacitated.

Preservation of your Estate During Incapacity. In addition to concerns related to how your estate will be administered during your inca-

pacity, you must also consider expenses related to an extended period of incapacity.

Medicare and private insurance do not cover longterm care (care for the basic functions of life such as eating, dressing, bathing) for extended periods. Medicaid is the government program that covers extended long-term care. Because Medicaid is a welfare program for the poor, an individual will only qualify after income and assets have been depleted.

In doing lifetime planning to preserve your estate during incapacity, it is usually not advisable to deplete your estate in order to qualify for Medicaid.

A more effective approach for planning for incapacity would be the purchase of long-term care insurance.

Long-term care insurance greatly eases the burden of paying for long-term care.

In working with families that have long-term care insurance within their estate, I have found a much greater degree

Borrow must continue to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and home maintenance costs. If you qualify and your loan is approved a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off yor existing mortgage(s). With a HECM/Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursments of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and in some cases, may be required. Borrower must occupy home as their primariy residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permantly moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms. These materials are not from HUD or FHA and were not approved by HUD or a government agency.

Sing to Sleep

I also used to sing my children to sleep.

Until, that is, the day I overheard the four-year-old tell the three-year-old, "If you pretend you're asleep, he stops."

Medical Advice

One day, after a man had his annual physical, the doctor came out and said, "You had a great checkup. Is there anything that you'd like to talk about or ask me?"

"Well," he said, "I was thinking about getting a vasectomy."

"That's a pretty big decision. Have you talked it over with your family?"

"Yeah and they're in favor 15 to 2."

Motherly Love

My wife, a real estate agent, wrote an ad for a house she was listing. The house had a second-floor suite that could be accessed using a lift chair that slid along the staircase.

Quickly describing this feature, she inadvertently made it sound even more attractive: "Mother-in-law suite comes with an electric chair."

On the Bright Side

I'm not completely worthless, I can always serve as a bad example.

Exact Address

Torrential rainstorms were knocking down power lines all over town. When one lineman called a customer to get her exact address, he was told, "Post Office Box 99."

The weary lineman replied, "Ma'am, I'll be coming to you in a truck, not an envelope."

Punishment

I wanted to tell you a joke about leeches. But I won’t – they all suck.

Warning Signs

While vacationing in Alaska, I couldn't help but notice all the warnings about bears posted in campgrounds, visitors' centers, and rest areas advising people not to feed the bears, how to avoid bears, what to do if a bear sees you, what to do if a bear attacks, and so on.

My favorite, however, was a hand-lettered sign on the door of a small gas station in a remote area. It said: "Warning! If you are being chased by a bear, don't come in here!"

Social Skills

Our catering manager lacks certain social skills ... like knowing when to keep her mouth shut.

While discussing a baby christening party with a young couple, she told the mother, "You look like you've lost most of your pregnancy weight."

"Thanks," came the clenched-teeth reply. "We adopted."

Today's Thought

Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Brevyn Leach had his operation last Tuesday and it was a success. The little five year old will now be able to walk. The surgeons went into his spine and rerouted some nerve endings and other nerves so that he can function a lot better. He will undergo physical therapy in St. George for 5 weeks and then will be able to have the therapy here after that. It is expected that there will be over one hundred of these session before he is through. Brevyn will be home this Wednesday and the family would like to thank all of the people who have helped out with the cost of care for this young special child. (I hope I have got this story right).

While out delivering Meals on Wheels, we noticed that many of the herds along the way had a lot of new calves that had been born over the weekend. One rancher said that with all of the warm weather they didn’t have to worry about the little ones freezing to death, but he didn’t know how he was going to feed them this summer, unless we get some moisture.

Utah has called off their fishing derby for this year, because of thin ice. Fish Lake which is at almost 9,000’ has more ice fishermen than they do boat and shore fishermen in the summer, is prohibiting anymore ice fishing this winter. They have spots in the

lake that are 10” thick and 10’ away it will be only 2” thick.

While taking another group of middle schoolers up to Brian Head, passing the lake and from the storm the night before it looked covered and there was one fisherman out there close to shore, but on the way back it had opened up and there were many places with open water. Along the shore the ice is receding and I don’t doubt that it won’t be too long till we join the Piute and Otter Creek reservoirs without any ice at all.

If you would like to run for some of the big paying political positions, (with full paid health insurance and other benefits,) in the county, now is

the time to do it. You can this year get 130 registered voters to sign your petition for the position you desire, and turn it into the County Clerk’s office.

You can also, as in the past get a bunch of your friends and go to your parties convention and have them nominate you.

I have had people asking why their water bill went up this month. I asked Mayor Soper what was going on and he said that two years ago the council added a 2% cost of living to the bill, to keep up with the rising cost of doing business.

If you continue to look to the past you will trip over the future that’s ahead of you.

HB64: Utah bill could make holding phone, talking while driving illegal

by SAhAlie donAldSon, byu CApitAl WeSt neWS ServiCe

CourteSy CApitAl WeSt neWS

Utah saw 5,748 distracted driver crashes in 2016, according to the Governor’s Highways Safety Association. Ten percent of all Utah crashes involve a distracted driver. (Haley Mosher) SALT LAKE CITY - A bill requiring Utah drivers to go hands-free while talking on the phone could transform traffic safety laws and reduce distracted driving accidents.

Although 14 states already have hands-free laws, the bill will face strong opposition in Utah during the current legislative session.

Despite the odds, Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, intends to make Utah the fifteenth state.

Moss devised HB64 after her own dangerous encounter with distracted driving.

Moss said she was driving on I-215 in June when she sensed a large truck in the lane to her right beginning to drift.

She thought she could see his elbow perched up against the window and wondered if he was talking on the phone. Instinctively, Moss backed off of the gas, and the truck swerved into her lane a second later.

Moss said there was no time to brake. As she honked her horn, the truck immediately merged to get off the freeway.

“For a moment he looked right at me and he was on his phone and it would have been

a horrible accident,” Moss said. “It’s just not safe and it happens all the time.”

Utah law prohibits drivers from texting and manipulating the phone behind the wheel, but this doesn’t include phone calls. Drivers over the age of 18 can legally talk on the phone, despite evidence showing it distracts and increases the likelihood of an accident to occur.

Moss said she believes driving should be a primary part of public safety. She said she is confident this piece of legislation is important.

“Laws combined with enforcement — obviously that’s the important part with PSAs — have a significant impact on people,” Moss said.

In 2007, a similar Utah law passed banning handheld phone use while driving. However, the law only allowed handheld phone users to be ticketed if they were cited for another violation aside from speeding.

According to the Utah Department of Safety Highway Office, crashes involving cellular phones decreased from 2007 to 2010. But after publicity and the hype sur-

rounding the new law faded, crashes involving cellular distractions increased for the next six years.

Since orchestrating the bill, Moss said she has been inundated with calls, emails and tweets from people who support her cause. She said out of all the responses she has received, only one or two have been negative.

Mark Bretzing has served more than 15 years as a police lieutenant. He said he recognizes the importance of having both hands on the wheel and hopes the bill passes.

“I feel good about the legislation,” Bretzing said. “I think hands–free driving is good. I think you can have a conversation on your Bluetooth, and I still think you are paying more attention than if you were holding it in your hand to your ear.”

Bretzing acknowledged Utah has one of the strictest DUI laws in the United States and said he is happy distracted driving is finally getting the attention it deserves.

“You look at California and they have had hands–free laws for years and I just think it’s a circle you have to come

search, Strayer concluded it’s not holding up a phone that’s distracting — it’s the conversation itself, which is why he said requiring hands-free devices won’t reduce accidents.

According to the National Safety Council, handsfree devices could make driving more dangerous, as drivers could be encouraged to pay less attention behind the wheel because they assume they are safe using a hands-free device.

Moss and Fairclough said they acknowledge how important Strayer’s research is, but Fairclough contended situations involving driving while using a phone are more complicated.

“The physical level of holding the phone adds a little more on to the cognitive level of distraction,” Fairclough said. “This is what the legislature is aiming to fix.”

Fairclough and Moss agreed it is important to get the conversation going about driving safety because even if the bill isn’t passed, knowledge can change people’s habits.

“Dr. Strayer says talking is the distraction, and it doesn’t matter so much if it’s hands–free or not,” Moss said. “I know what’s possible to pass in this legislature and right now there are so many people who talk on their phone and drive, it will be very difficult to pass a law that will prohibit talking.”

Fairclough said every traffic safety bill brought to her faces a lot of opposition because people are wary of government overstepping its bounds in people’s private lives.

“Unless someone has been really touched by a crash and seen the devastation that it can place on families and individuals, they really aren’t aware of what this does and how certain, simple measures can prevent it or to help to prevent it,” Fairclough said.

Whether the bill passes or not, Moss said she is optimistic.

“Governments move slowly sometimes, but if we keep doing incremental things maybe we will get there one day,” Moss said.

around,” Bretzing said.

Rolayne Fairclough worked as AAA’s administrative rep for more than 20 years and has spearheaded traffic safety in Utah since the late 1990s. She said the bill is important because it makes people aware that talking on the phone is distracting.

“In a perfect world it would be better to have no phones while driving — no cells, no handsfree, no whatever — but that’s not going to happen,” Fairclough said.

“All of these things happen incrementally, but I think that this is a good step.”

Moss and Fairclough said they are aware of the criticism from UniverCourteSy CApitAl WeSt neWS sity of Utah professor David Data collected by the Governor’s Highways Safety Organization. From Strayer.

2007 to 2016 number of crashes involving distracted driving has fluctuated A f t e r greatly. The Utah Highway Safety Office said distracted driving, especially extensive re- cellphone use, is only going to get worse. (Haley Mosher).

Update to my column from last week: Thanks to Kim, from Escalante P.O., Boulderites *are* able to buy stamps and pick up packages at the post office window.

We surely appreciate her going the extra mile to make this transition period between postmasters go smoother.

If one is curious about things going on in Boulder, one of the best ways to find out is “pegboard.” This is just a low-tech, big email distribution list of forwarded emails about events, requests, questions, alerts. It’s very Bouldercentric, and not particularly useful to anyone elsewhere.

Nevertheless, pegboard has become commonly enough used here that it’s now also a verb. “Could you pegboard this?” It’s perhaps the only way to get information out in a generally timely manner and to the broadest spectrum of the Boulder population.

Here’s a sampling of what’s been happening recently. I’ll try to leave out the

grossly, personally identifiable details: “Wanting/looking to rent any available year round housing in Boulder. Very dependable and conscientious renter/local Boulder resident.

Willing to move in with a flexible time frame! Please contact me at…”

“UPS delivery of a 4ftX6ft rug for [xx] on Hells Backbone Rd. Received? (not by me) on February 1st. If you know of its round-abouts call ….”

“My black and white cattle dog went missing a couple hours ago, not like him to do so. Young and small, down lower boulder. Has a collar with tags name is hicks very friendly. If you have seen him please give me a call at …”

“Another Friday, another afternoon at the Boulder Elementary Library. All are welcome to come help improve our library on Friday, February 9, from 12:30 to 2:30 at Boulder Elementary School.

Our shelves are looking better and better each week!

Thanks!”

“For those interested the pickup is a Toyota 22RE, 1994, 4WD, 178'000 m., very good tires, asking price $2'500 OBO..”

“Boulder Town is looking for a maintenance person for the Town Park, Grounds, and Buildings. Details can be found in the Announcements at the Town's website: http:// boulder.utah.gov.”

“Hi- has anyone seen a large package...contains a 20 gallon stainless steel water container. UPS says it was delivered jan 27. thanks!”

“Hicks may have been heard crying on top of durphy mesa last night and until today.

We called from the cars at evening when we were notified, could not get him to bark or anything. If anyone is hiking in the area and can call for him it would be greatly appreciated.”

“We have a load of printing to do in the next couple of days and just ran out of ink! If you are out of town and plan on returning by Wednesday night, could you please pick

some up for us? We need an HP62XL cartridge in black.

Please call us or send an email and we can coordinate a pickup. Thank you!”

“We have a 2 year old Delaware hen who has become a target of our rooster, and not for what you think. He simply attacks her and drives her away. We want to keep the rooster and do not want to butcher a good layer. Is there anyone out there who wants to adopt this hen and save her from having to flee constantly?

We really don't want to dispatch her, and her life is pretty miserable right now. Call …”

“Hi, we got a new platform bed and have a nearly new Queen boxspring that we no longer need. Does anyone need a boxspring? We will have it in town at noon on Saturday, or else it will be going to the dump.”

“Thank you everyone who helped in the search of our puppy! Jessica found him on the mesa, he was stuck! He is now acting like nothing happened!”

HB164: Bill to create Utah preschools task force passes committee by liliAn Whitney, byu CApitAl WeSt neWS ServiCe New legislation would create a task force to explore options for state-funded preschools in Utah if passed.

Rep. Bruce Cutler, RMurray, presented HB164 to the House Education Standing Committee Jan. 31.

“Utah really has no comprehensive state strategy for early childhood,” Cutler said.

“What I would like for this task force to do is give emphasis to how do we better prepare children for kindergarten.”

Utah is one of seven states that does not fund a preschool program. Current prekindergarten programs serve roughly 17 percent of eligible children in Utah, according to findings from the State Policy and Research for Education Working Group.

LegaL Notices PUBLIC NOTICE SCOPING DOCUMENT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST SERVICE FISHLAKE NATIONAL FOREST BOWERY HAVEN MARINA IMPROVEMENTS, TWIN CREEK BOARDWALK, AND ANGLING PIER PROJECT The Fishlake National Forest is evaluating a proposal from the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) to improve facilities at the Bowery Haven marina, construct an angling pier south of the marina, construct a boardwalk at Twin Creek, and mitigate associated wetland impacts at Fish Lake. The project location occurs on the Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest. The purpose of this project is to implement the Fishlake Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) by proposing improvements to the Bowery Haven marina, providing additional shoreline angling opportunities, and protect riparian vegetation along Twin Creek while providing safe, watchable wildlife viewing opportunities; these actions are designed to achieve the following direction: 1. Manage the land and activities on it, including visitor use, to achieve desired physical and social recreation settings (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

2. Provide additional sites and facilities on the Forest (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

3. Provide and manage opportunities for winter recreation use (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

4. Encourage private enterprise to provide needed recreation services not traditionally supplied by the Forest Service (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

5. Manage resource activities to meet visual quality objectives (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

6. Maintain water quality to meet state standards (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-4).

7. Maintain productive streams, lakes, and riparian areas and mitigate hazards on floodplains (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-4).

8. Manage land uses to ensure permit compliance and resource protection (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-5).

9. Provide opportunities for community stability and development in harmony with Forest resources and activities (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-5).

10. Provide a trail system for public and resources needs (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3) 11. Protect aquatic habitats which are in good or excellent condition and improve habitats where ecological conditions are below biological potential (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3) This project is needed because the existing marina facilities are not able to meet current demand based on number of visitors and size of boats. The facilities are in poor condition and present safety hazards for those who use them. Shore fishing opportunities are limited due to dense weed beds surrounding the shoreline. Salmon spawning observation along Twin Creek in 2017 resulted in adverse impacts to the stream bank and riparian vegetation, and similar impacts are anticipated in the future if access is not directed.

This “gap” between current and desired condition points to a need for management.

The following actions are being considered: Bowery Haven Marina • Increase the number of boat slips from approximately 120 to 240 by improving existing dikes and constructing new dikes.

• Construct a new boat ramp to face into the prevailing winds and to accept larger boat sizes.

• Increase the parking lot area by filling a portion of the existing marina and/or adjacent wetland areas.

• Pave existing and new parking lot areas.

• Provide storm water control features to prevent storm water from draining into the lake.

• Add charging stations at the dikes.

• Add lighting at the dikes for night fishing, boating, and safety.

• Relocate the marina access road and approach.

• Construct new restroom facilities at the marina.

Twin Creek Boardwalk An elevated boardwalk would be constructed next to Twin Creek for viewing of spawning kokanee salmon. The boardwalk would be approximately 450 feet long and 4 feet wide. The walkway would be elevated about 12 inches above ground level and supported by heavy wooden posts anchored in concrete. The structure would include two viewing platforms (6 feet by 15 feet), and replacement of three bridges across the creek. The walkway and supporting system will be constructed of pressure treated wood. Five 300-foot-long sections of two-rail wooden fencing would guide people and discourage them from walking off of designated trails. The boardwalk will be handicap accessible from the group pavilion. Safe and dry viewing opportunities would be available via the boardwalk that follows the creek.

Angling Pier A permanent fishing pier would be constructed on the point south of Bowery Haven marina.

The pier would allow people without boats to fish from shore without encountering dense weed beds that inhibit fishing. The pier would be 100 feet long with a 100-foot-long “T” on the end, and would be supported by steel and concrete pilings. Pier abutments would be constructed on the shoreline.

The existing parking area at the restrooms may be paved, and additional graveled parking to the southwest would be maintained. The existing restroom could also be expanded, or a new restroom may be constructed at one of the nearby parking areas. A paved walkway would be constructed from the parking lot to the pier; the walkway would be approximately 140 feet long, ADA-compliant, and would be routed to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands.

Wetland Mitigation Project activities may result in impacts to waters of the U.S. and wetlands. Clean Water Act permitting for such impacts will likely require compensatory mitigation. Preliminary mitigation plans consist of excavating upland areas adjacent to wetlands around Fish Lake to create additional wetland areas. Permitting requirements, such as mitigation ratios, would be determined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after submittal of complete applications for each project.

Timing Once the feasibility of each alternate is considered and cost estimates have been prepared, the Utah DFCM will coordinate with the UDWR, the Fishlake National Forest, and invested marina business owners to determine which improvements will be made at the marina. We anticipate that improvements will begin in the fall of 2018 and occur over several years. The angling pier and boardwalk are anticipated to be constructed in the summer of 2019.

PUBLIC NOTICE SCOPING DOCUMENT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST SERVICE FISHLAKE NATIONAL FOREST LAKESIDE AND FISH LAKE LODGE MARINAS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The Fishlake National Forest is evaluating a proposal from the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) to improve facilities at the Lakeside and Fish Lake Lodge marinas at Fish Lake. The project location occurs on the Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest. The purpose of this project is to implement the Fishlake Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) by proposing improvements to the Lakeside and Fish Lake Lodge marinas, which are designed to achieve the following direction: 1. Manage the land and activities on it, including visitor use, to achieve desired physical and social recreation settings (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

2. Provide additional sites and facilities on the Forest (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

3. Provide and manage opportunities for winter recreation use (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

4. Encourage private enterprise to provide needed recreation services not traditionally supplied by the Forest Service (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

5. Manage resource activities to meet visual quality objectives (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-3).

6. Maintain water quality to meet state standards (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-4).

7. Maintain productive streams, lakes, and riparian areas and mitigate hazards on floodplains (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-4).

8. Manage land uses to ensure permit compliance and resource protection (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-5).

9. Provide opportunities for community stability and development in harmony with Forest resources and activities (Fishlake LRMP, page IV-5).

This project is needed because the existing marina facilities are not able to meet current demand based on number of visitors and size of boats. The facilities are in poor condition and present safety hazards for those who use them. This “gap” between current and desired condition points to a need for management.

The purpose of the project is to increase the capacity of the marinas to meet current and projected demand, and improve safety of the facilities. The following improvements are being considered: Lakeside Marina • Increase the number of boat slips from approximately 50 to 150 by improving existing dikes and adding new dikes.

• Construct a new boat ramp to accommodate larger boat sizes.

• Build new restroom facilities – either plumbed or non-plumbed. If a heated and plumbed restroom is installed, a new sewer lift station and culinary water service line would also be added.

• Improve and expand parking lot area, including asphalt surfacing of parking lot and existing access road.

• Provide storm water control features to prevent storm water from draining into the lake.

• Move existing fish cleaning facilities to the marina side of the highway, or build a new facility.

• Add charging stations at the dikes.

• Add lighting at the dikes for night fishing, boating, and safety.

• Possibly relocate the bait & tackle store to fit the new marina design. Relocation may require demolishing the existing store and constructing a new one nearby.

Fish Lake Lodge Marina • Construct a new boat ramp to accommodate larger boat sizes.

• Increase marina size by adding new breakwater dikes.

• Reconstruct existing concrete docks to raise above high water elevation.

• Pave and improve existing parking lot and access roadways.

• Re-route existing spring drainage to Twin Creek.

• Increase parking lot size into areas previously used for spring drainage, or by placing fill in the lake.

• Provide storm water control features to prevent storm water from draining into the lake.

• Add charging stations at the dikes.

• Add lighting at the dikes for night fishing, boating, and safety.

• Update or replace the existing fish cleaning station.

• Update or replace existing restroom facilities.

Fill material for the proposed improvements may be acquired from a pit at Pelican Point, or sites outside the Fishlake National Forest.

Once the feasibility of each alternative is considered and cost estimates have been prepared, the Utah DFCM will coordinate with the UDWR, the Fishlake National Forest, and invested marina business owners to determine which improvements will be made at each marina. We anticipate that improvements will begin in the fall of 2018 and occur over several years.

The Forest Service is conducting an environmental analysis to determine whether this proposal may significantly affect the quality of the human environment and thereby require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
